Sweet Dreams in Famine Years: The System Leads to a Brilliant Life

In the evening, Zeng's mother cooked a pot of porridge and paired it with wild vegetable cakes made from wild vegetables from the mountains. The Zeng family had a simple meal. As night fell, the villagers lit a fire at the entrance of the cave, and the night watchman gradually dozed off.

At this moment, Zeng Zhengen suddenly woke up from her dream. She vaguely heard a wolf howl. Although the sound was far away, it was enough to alert her. She stood up and went to the entrance of the cave, carefully looking around. Although it seemed calm on the surface, the uneasiness in her heart had not dissipated. In order to confirm safety, Zeng Zhengen used Qinggong to quickly patrol a few miles away.

Soon, her eyes were attracted by a flashing green light in the distance. When she looked closely, her heart tightened - it was the eyes of wolves! Groups of wolves were approaching the cave.

Without further ado, Zeng Zhengen quickly returned to the cave, her steps brisk and hurried. The villagers who were on night watch immediately woke up when they saw her return.

"Girl Zeng, why are you so anxious? Is something wrong?" a villager asked nervously.

Zeng Zhengen looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "Quick, wake everyone up! There is a large group of wolves approaching not far away."

Although it was uncertain whether the wolves were really coming towards them, Zeng Zhengen knew that he had to wake everyone up immediately. Otherwise, if the wolves surrounded them and everyone was still asleep, the consequences would be disastrous.

When the villager who was on night watch heard Zeng Zhenghao mention the wolf pack, his face turned pale and he could hardly stand.

"Wolf...wolf pack?" His voice trembled and he seemed unable to speak clearly.

Wolves are terrible beasts that can kill people if they are not careful. Thinking of this, the villager who was on night watch began to sweat and trembled even more. He almost saw himself and the villagers being torn to pieces by the wolves.

Seeing that he was about to lose his mind due to fear, Zeng Zhengen frowned slightly. The wolves had not arrived yet, but this man had already lost his composure due to fear. If he was allowed to continue to keep watch, I am afraid that everyone would be eaten by the wolves in their sleep.

She didn't waste any more time talking to him, she turned around and quickly went back to the cave and started waking up all the villagers.

"Everybody get up! The wolves might be coming!"

There was chaos in the cave. When the villagers heard that a pack of wolves was approaching, they all got up in panic.

"Wolf...wolf pack? Then we are dead!" a timid villager shouted incoherently.

"Oh my God! I don't want to die yet!" Someone began to wail helplessly.

"What bad luck! I came here to escape the famine, and was eaten by wolves! Isn't this leaving me no chance to survive?"

Some people had fallen into despair, and some children were so scared when they heard the news about the wolves that they started crying.

Zeng Zhengen looked at the crying villagers and felt extremely tired. This was the case when fleeing famine with the villagers. There were always timid people who would hold back. However, she also understood that if she wanted her family to reach the south safely, following the village team was a relatively safe option.

At this time, Pan Yang was a man who had seen the world after all. Although he was a little panicked at first, he soon calmed down. Seeing the chaotic scene, he walked to the front of the crowd and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, please be quiet for a while."

Pan Yang's prestige in the village is still very high. As soon as he finished speaking, the originally noisy cave immediately became much quieter.

"I know no one wants to face the wolves, but since they are here, we can only find ways to deal with them instead of complaining here." His voice was firm and powerful.

However, some villagers still couldn't help but murmur: "Wolves eat people. How can we, unarmed farmers, fight against wolves?"

Faced with such doubts, Pan Yang was not angry. He knew that most of these villagers were honest farmers who worked hard in the fields and were afraid of even a big insect, let alone a ferocious wolf pack. Fear was inevitable, especially when facing such a dangerous beast.

"I know everyone is afraid of wolves, and I am as afraid as everyone else. But now that we have encountered them, we have to find a way to deal with these wolves."

After Pan Yang finished speaking, he turned to look at Zeng Zhengen and asked with some expectation: "Zeng girl, do you have any way to deal with this wolf pack?"

Although Zeng Zhengen was just a young girl, since following her all the way, the village head had developed an inexplicable trust in her calmness and decisiveness, and almost regarded her as the backbone of the team.

Zeng Zhengen frowned, his expression solemn, and his tone was a little nervous: "To be honest, there is no particularly effective method. However, for now we can increase the number of bonfires. Wolves are naturally afraid of fire. The bigger the fire, the less likely they will dare to approach easily."

She paused for a moment and continued, "Also, everyone should bring all the tools you can use at home. If the wolves really get close, remember to attack the wolf's legs first. Also, you can take out iron basins, copper gongs, etc. at home, and when the wolves get close, hit them with wooden sticks to make a loud noise. The wolves may be frightened by these noises and dare not act rashly."

These were all pieced together by Zeng Zhengen based on some survival knowledge she learned in her previous life. She was not sure whether these methods would work completely, but in such a critical moment, it was much better than sitting and waiting to die.

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone started to move. The men found their hoes, sickles and other farm tools, while some women started looking for iron basins and objects that could make noises. The village head even gave his big copper gong to his wife.

Zeng's mother was terrified at this time. She grabbed Zeng Zhengen's hand and asked with a trembling voice: "Zeng'er, will the wolves really come? There are so many people in our family, especially so many children. What should we do if the wolves really come?"

Zeng Zhengen took a deep breath and calmed his mother. "Mom, I'm not sure the wolves will come. But it's always good for everyone to prepare some countermeasures now, at least we won't be at a loss when the wolves really show up. Let's make more preparations so that we won't be caught off guard."

Soon, the villagers of Dapo Village in the cave were ready for battle, holding tools tightly in their hands, with a hint of nervousness and anxiety in their eyes. When the villagers of Zhangguanbao outside the cave heard the noise inside, they also ran over to inquire about the situation.

When they learned that a pack of wolves was approaching, the people of Zhangguanbao panicked and the atmosphere became tense. Fortunately, Yang Xuyu of Zhangguanbao was a smart man and quickly asked everyone to follow Zeng Zhengen's advice. Soon, there were more and more fires around, illuminating half of the hillside, and the villagers were holding hoes and sickles, ready to meet the enemy.

Time passed by in the tense waiting, and the cold wind blew the fire, making crackling sounds from time to time. Just when the villagers gradually relaxed and began to think that the wolves would not come, a low and shrill wolf howl suddenly came from afar.
