Transform into a fairy girl

After the Xanadu Project began, three days of rations were distributed to each household, and then a small number of People's Liberation Army soldiers were left to guard the only exit of the canyon, while all other soldiers withdrew.

Many people expressed strong dissatisfaction with this behavior of soldiers, but they had no choice but to passively accept it all.

"I only left three days of rations. What will I eat in three days?" Ji Ran said worriedly, looking at the bag of rice and half a catty of pork at home.

"We can only rely on ourselves, and there is nothing we can do about it," Liu Zhan said.

Ji Ran shook her head helplessly and had no choice but to accept this cruel fact.

In order to make ends meet, Ji Ran had to leave Su Su in the care of Mother Ji, and then Liu Zhan and Father Ji were responsible for picking wild fruits and looking for food, while Ji Ran was responsible for collecting firewood and water to maintain her life.

The first few days were pretty good. There were some wild fruits and some pheasants in the nearby mountains. Food was obtained fairly smoothly. Occasionally, we could taste delicious game.

Neighbors also often give away some food to enhance mutual relations.

However, in the following days, there were fewer and fewer prey. Because too many people came, the consumption of food was huge. The wild fruits in the nearby mountains were quickly picked, and the pheasants and hares were also harvested. The hunt is almost done. Sometimes I go out for a whole day and still can’t pick up a few fruits.

Many people are hungry, and some people even start to complain and curse in broad daylight.

After a few days, even wild fruits could not be picked up. More and more people were starving, and there was little contact between neighbors. Even if they were separated by a door, all the doors were closed in broad daylight, as if I am worried that others will come to my house to borrow food.

Ji Ran is a girl who knows how to live a good life. She knows the importance of food. Therefore, when there was enough food before, she did not waste food. She saved the food that can be stored for a long time and ate the food that is not easy to store first. .

Therefore, when everyone was hungry, Ji Ran still had rice at home for cooking.

Whenever rice is cooked in the evening, pairs of fiery eyes will be attracted, and some hungry children will gather around and look at the rice porridge in Ji Ran's pot, licking their lips with greed.

Although Ji Ran felt sorry for these children, she didn't have much rice at home. If she gave it all to them, she wouldn't have enough to eat at home. Moreover, Su Su was still young and needed nutrition, so Ji Ran had to eat every day. This time I only gave these children a small bowl of rice soup, and I didn't dare to give more.

Gradually, these children developed the habit of coming to Ji Ran whenever it was time to eat. They did not ask for anything, and just watched Ji Ran cooking rice porridge.

On this day, after dinner, Ji Ran looked at the running out of food and felt worried. If she could not get more food for relief, she might not have anything to eat in the future.

However, at this moment, a woman's yelling was suddenly heard outside.

At first, Ji Ran thought she was scolding someone else, because she had never offended anyone before, so it was impossible for her to be scolding herself.

However, after listening carefully for a while, I realized that the woman was really scolding me.

It turns out that when we distributed the porridge to the children tonight, because there was too little porridge, it was impossible for every child to receive it. Therefore, Ji Ran gave it to the children yesterday and did not give it to them today. Let each child be as fair as possible. Yesterday, he The son has already been given to him, so Ji Ran gave it to other children today.

After the child came home, he cried and said that Ji Ran didn't give him porridge, and his mother was so angry that she came to see Ji Ran.

Hearing the scolding outside, Ji Ran felt very angry. The porridge was not yours in the first place, so what would happen if I didn't give it to you?

It's better now, he actually started to curse people, without making any sense at all.

Ji Ran was about to go out to argue with the woman, but Ji Ran's father wanted to save face and was afraid of starting a quarrel, so he pulled Ji Ran and didn't let Ji Ran go out.

"Forget it, when she has scolded her enough, she will go back. Don't be like this kind of person." Ji's father advised.

Ji Ran curled her lips helplessly. She was really annoyed. She was scolded for doing good things. She was so angry.

"Don't pay attention to someone like this who doesn't know how to repay kindness. Our family doesn't even have enough porridge to drink. Don't give it to anyone anymore." Ji's mother said with a frown.

"But those children are really pitiful." Ji Ran said unbearably as she recalled those poor children.

"Our family doesn't have enough to eat now, why should you pity them and pity you?" Ji's mother said angrily.

Ji Ran nodded and said nothing more.

"Dad, I plan to go to the back mountain tomorrow to have a look, so don't go." Liu Zhan said to Ji's father.

"It's a long way to the back mountain. I heard there are wolves on the back mountain. Can you go alone?" Ji's father asked worriedly.

"Even if it is really there, you have to try it, otherwise you won't be able to find anything to eat." Liu Zhan said helplessly.

"I'll go with you." Ji Ran said to Liu Zhan.

"Why are you going? You still have to take care of the family." Liu Zhan frowned and refused to agree.

"I'll go with you. Even though I'm old, I can't walk anymore, so it's good for the two of us to have someone to take care of us." Ji's father said to Liu Zhan.

Seeing how insistent Ji's father was, Liu Zhan had no choice but to agree.

The next day, the two went to the back mountain together. Before leaving, Ji Ran was still a little worried, so she borrowed a hatchet from a neighbor and stuffed it into Liu Zhan's hand.

"Take this for self-defense," Ji Ran said to Liu Zhan.

"Well, don't worry, nothing will happen." Liu Zhan smiled and pinched Ji Ran's cheek to comfort him.

Liu Zhan and Ji's father set out in the morning, but had not returned by sunset in the evening. Ji Ran stood at the entrance of the village, looking at the hillside, anxious.

"Why haven't you come back yet? It's already too late." Ji Ran thought worriedly.

Soon after, the neighbor's man, Brother Chen, came back.

Ji Ran quickly stepped forward and said, "Brother Chen, have you met Liu Zhan and my dad?"

"Why aren't Uncle Ji and Xiao Liu back yet?" Brother Chen asked strangely.

"Well, they left in the morning and haven't come back yet." Ji Ran said anxiously.

"You haven't come back yet? There's no one in the front mountain. I'm the last one to come back." Brother Chen frowned and said.

"Brother Chen, I heard there are wolves in the back mountain?" Ji Ran asked worriedly.

"Well, I heard people say that there are wolves in the back mountain. A man went to the back mountain a few days ago, and it seems he never came back." When Brother Chen said this, Ji Ran was frightened.

"Then will they encounter a wolf?" Ji Ran asked anxiously.

"Sister, don't worry. Maybe they will come back after a while. My child is still hungry, so I have to go back first." After Brother Chen finished speaking, he hurried home.

Ji Ran stood alone under the moonlight, looking in the direction of the mountain behind, anxious tears were about to fall.
