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

"We have done a bad job, please forgive us, sir!" The servant kowtowed and admitted his mistake quickly.

Wang Yuanwai cursed for a few times, and after he vented his anger, his tone was still cold, "Go, send some more skilled guards to stop those people for me! Since they don't want to buy my food, take their money and property for me!"

Zeng Zhengen on the roof heard these words, and his eyes suddenly turned cold. This Wang Yuanwai not only maliciously raised the price, but also directly robbed the villagers' belongings, just like a bandit. Thinking of the suffering of these villagers, Zeng Zhengen's heart was filled with endless anger.

She could no longer hold back, and flew down silently, straight to the door of Mr. Wang's room, and then kicked the door open.

"Bang!" The door hit the wall hard. The loud noise scared Mr. Wang and the servant in the room.

"Who dares--" Before Mr. Wang could finish his roar, he caught a glimpse of Zeng Zhengen standing at the door, and his voice immediately choked in his throat.

"Young lady, are you here to seek my favor?" Wang Yuanwai smiled lewdly, obviously thinking that Zeng Zhengen was one of the women he had kidnapped. After all, he still had many young and beautiful women locked up in the backyard, and he had not had time to "enjoy" them yet.

Zeng Zhengen couldn't help but twitch her lips when she heard this. This Wang Yuanwai is not only greedy for money, but also so lustful? Even at this point, he still wanted to tease her.

Seeing this, the servant beside him hurriedly pulled Wang Yuanwai, as if to remind him. However, Wang Yuanwai just glanced at him impatiently and shouted: "What are you still standing there for? Get out of here! Do you still want to watch me do things here?"

The servant was so frightened by the roar that he turned around and tried to run. But just as he passed by Zeng Zhengen, Zeng Zhengen swung his palm and knocked him unconscious instantly. He fell to the ground and could not get up again.

When Wang Yuanwai saw this, he finally realized that something was wrong. His face turned pale and his voice began to tremble: "You... who are you? What do you want to do?"

Zeng Zhengen sneered, his eyes filled with cold murderous intent, and his tone was terrifyingly calm: "The one who took your life."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zeng Zhengen's figure disappeared in the light of the fire. The dagger in his hand flashed a cold light in the night. The next moment, blood gushed out from Wang Yuanwai's neck.

Wang Yuanwai's eyes were wide open, his face full of disbelief, and before he could even fully comprehend what was happening before his eyes, he fell heavily to the ground. His body twitched a few times on the ground, and then he stopped moving completely.

Zeng Zhengen watched this scene coldly, without any mercy. She looked around and quickly took out all the valuable items in the room, then took out the tinder that she had prepared long ago from her sleeve, and lit the curtains around her with a single move.

After a while, the fire spread rapidly, thick smoke rose into the sky, and the flames engulfed the entire room. The beams of the house collapsed and fell on the body of Mr. Chen, completely burying him in the sea of ​​fire.

Zeng Zhengen stared at the blazing flames without any fluctuation in her heart. Only after she confirmed that everything was correct did she leave quietly. Using her lightness skills, she turned into a shadow again and quickly returned to the camp.

When she returned to the camp, everything was quiet except for the snoring of a few villagers who were keeping watch. Zeng Zhengen carefully looked around and made sure there was no movement around. Then she quietly went back to her tent and fell asleep peacefully.

……

The next morning, as the morning sun began to shine, several villagers came out of their tents and began to prepare for the day. Zeng Zhengen also got up early, washed up, and smelled the fragrance of rice.

Zeng's mother was busy preparing breakfast. When she saw Zeng Zhengen coming over, she smiled and said, "Zeng'er, you don't have to worry about breakfast today. I have already prepared it for you and your mother.

Zeng's mother, who was making vegetable pancakes, saw Zeng Zhengen preparing to cook and hurriedly stopped her, saying, "Zeng'er, take a rest. Mother will do the job."

"Mom, I just want to make some noodle dumpling soup." Zeng Zhengen explained with a smile. Zeng's mother made wild vegetable pancakes, but Zeng Zhengen felt that the pancakes alone were a bit dry, so he thought that adding noodle dumpling soup would make it more comfortable for everyone to eat.

Zeng's mother naturally understood her daughter's good intentions after hearing this. Eating only biscuits was indeed dry, but their water reserves were limited, which made Zeng's mother a little hesitant. She sighed and said, "Zeng'er, how about we wait until we find a water source before making the dumpling soup?"

Zeng Zhengen understood what her mother meant. She knew her mother was trying to save water, but the water she had could still last for a while, so she smiled and comforted her, "Mom, don't worry. I have enough water and I won't delay anyone."

Hearing her daughter say this, Zeng's mother stopped trying to stop her and nodded silently. She thought to herself that she and her husband would save some money later and not let the children get thirsty.

Soon, Zeng Zhengen cooked the dumpling soup, and everyone enjoyed the wild vegetable pancakes and dumpling soup. After everyone finished breakfast, Pan Yang gathered everyone and continued on their journey.

After a night of rest, the villagers regained their spirits and walked more briskly. They quickened their pace along the way and finally arrived at the next town before dark.

This town is much larger than the previous Huaqi Town.

As it was already late when they arrived in the town, all the shops were closed and the streets were particularly deserted with almost no pedestrians.

"Girl Zeng, it's so late and all the shops are closed. Why don't we camp here and rest for the night, and then buy some food when the shops open tomorrow morning." Pan Yang walked up to Zeng Zhengen and suggested.

Zeng Zhengen nodded, "Okay, Uncle Pan, I'll listen to you and replenish the supplies tomorrow."

After fleeing famine, the villagers had mastered how to quickly build a simple camp. Before long, everyone had set up tents with oil paper and prepared to spend the night in an orderly manner.

While Zeng's mother and Wang Huan were busy making dinner, Zeng Zhengen came over and whispered, "Mom, I'm going to go around town to see if I can find a well. I've been walking all day and the water is almost gone."

Zeng's mother knew her daughter had her own ideas, so she didn't try to stop her, but still reminded her, "Okay, but be careful and don't go too far."

Zeng Zhengen nodded, said a few words to the three kids, then turned and walked towards the town.

She took out the map from the system, looked at the layout of the town carefully, and walked towards the west end of the town according to the marked direction. Finally, she found a well in the west of the town. However, there was already a long line next to the well, and many people were carrying wooden buckets waiting to draw water.

Zeng Zhengen already had a vague guess in his mind. In order to verify his guess, Zeng Zhengen came to the end of the team and asked the lady in front of him.

"Auntie, what are you queuing for?" Zeng Zhengen asked curiously.

The old lady turned around and saw her unfamiliar face, with a hint of vigilance in her eyes. "Young lady, you look unfamiliar to me. I don't think I've seen you before!" the old lady said with a frown.

Zeng Zhengen quickly explained: "Auntie, I fled with the villagers. I just arrived in town today and wanted to find some water to take back. It took me a long time to find this place."

After hearing her explanation, the alert expression on the old lady's face slowly disappeared, replaced by a touch of sympathy. "Oh, so you are here to escape the famine! I was wondering if you looked unfamiliar. I've never seen you before."

Then the old lady explained to Zeng Zhengen why everyone was queuing here.
