My whole family time-traveled! I became a god during my exile in a famine.

Chapter 175 Subduing the Dragon Tiger Stronghold

Her sister is such a jerk!
Who would take away someone's entire bed and bedding halfway through their sleep?

Is this even reasonable?

Xin Nian asked with a serious expression, "You've advanced?"

"No, no." Chang Mianmian, still half asleep, felt inexplicably guilty.

"So you still have time to sleep? The early bird catches the worm. Get up and keep practicing when it's light."

Chang Mianmian really wanted to pounce on her and bite her.

Daybreak, daybreak, isn't the sky always bright?
Xin Nian gave her a carton of milk, along with a croissant and a small bag of homemade potato chips.

"Go train more after you finish eating. If you're still low on energy, eat some potato chips. These potato chips were fried by your aunt yesterday; they taste really good. Here, have a taste."

Comrade Xie Ninglan planted wave after wave of potatoes, and on a whim, she started frying French fries and potato chips on the farm, and they tasted really good.

In addition to being well-energized, they now have another type of snack to power up their fighting spirit.

The stone stove that Xin Nian picked up on the road last time is quite useful. Xie Ninglan puts a big iron pot on it, adds some firewood underneath, and can fry all sorts of things.

Then, with the grill pushed up, Comrade Xie Ninglan was busy grilling lamb skewers while farming.

Chang Mianmian, holding a pile of breakfast, yawned and looked confused. "Sis, where are you going?"

"Keep an eye on my weak sisters. I'm going out for a bit, I'll be right back." Xin Nian glanced at Chang Mianmian and added, "If things get bad, you guys go hide in the basement first, don't worry about me. I'll teleport back myself, no need to fret, and don't be stupid enough to go out of the manor looking for me."

"Remember, while you're out looking for me, I'll be back in a heartbeat."

Chang Mianmian was speechless and could only hold a pile of food and wave silently at her sister.

"Then come back quickly."

Before Chang Mianmian could finish speaking, Xin Nian's figure had already moved to the main street outside the governor's mansion.

A few moments later, she was standing downstairs at the Ping An Inn.

Now that it's daytime every day, and with the temperature rising, there are noticeably fewer pedestrians on the streets.

In addition, prices are rising day by day and food is becoming increasingly scarce, so there are almost no people left to set up stalls and do small business.

Most residents without cellars were moved to underground shelters by the government, carrying their bedding and food.

Xin Nian marked the location, and with a swift movement, she disappeared from the inn's entrance.

The top-class private room on the second floor of the inn.

Ling Luo let out a long sigh of relief. "She's gone!"

Four or five days had passed since the day the two met by chance. Ling Luoyuan thought the young girl intended to let Yan Xi go, but unexpectedly...

She appeared downstairs at the Ping An Inn again today.

"I'm just going to take care of some business." Compared to Ling Luo's agitation, Yan Xi was very calm.

"She will come back."

"Then why aren't we running away??" Ling Luo was utterly exasperated.

Is his brother out of his mind?

Even with the fire raging, he acted as if nothing was wrong, leaning against the bed and flipping through a book.

What's the point of cramming at the last minute? Under absolute military pressure, nothing you can do will save his life.

Yan Xi merely glanced at him indifferently and said nothing more.

Fifteen minutes later, Xin Nian appeared in the West City refugee district.

The rising temperatures have filled the area with a variety of unpleasant odors. The sour smell of food mingles with the stench of sweat, creating a truly indescribable stench.

Xin Nian silently took out a mask, put it on, and searched for people along the shantytown.

Sitting in front of the wooden shed, leaning against the fence, the various refugees with blank expressions all looked up at her, sizing her up and down.

"It's you?" A dirty-looking woman approached, and when she saw Xin Nian, a spark of anger suddenly ignited in her eyes.

"How dare you come here? You came into the city and just dumped us here, leaving us to fend for ourselves in this filthy, smoky, and dark slum for five, six, seven, or eight days. Meanwhile, you went to the governor's mansion to eat and drink your fill, having a great time!"

Xin Nian glanced at her and recognized her as one of the women rescued from Tugang Village.

I think her surname is Zhang, and she has two sisters.

Xin Nian glanced behind her and, sure enough, saw Zhang Meimei staring at her with a resentful look.

Are you alright? Are you alright?

Did she save the wrong person? Luckily, she managed to shake them off quickly on the road, otherwise she would have become a truly tragic figure.

Thinking this to herself, Xin Nian didn't bother to say anything more to them and simply walked past them.

The Zhang sisters shouted angrily and helplessly behind her.

Xin Nian didn't bother to listen to a single word they were saying. She continued searching for people in the shantytown and soon found the leader of Longhu Village.

At the same time, Zhao Xun, Zhao Hu, and others who rushed over upon hearing the news swarmed forward, almost bursting into tears as if they had seen their organization and their light.

"Girl, we thought you weren't coming!"

"Everything's settled in, so I've come to pick you up." Xin Nian looked around and said with a smile, "His Highness told you all about it two days ago, right?"

"Yes, yes, he did. His Highness the Crown Prince took everyone else away, but left us here alone. He said the young lady would come to settle us in." Zhao Hu's eyes reddened as he spoke.

Xin Nian nodded, stepped forward and shook Zhao the Great Chief's arm, "Great Chief, I wonder if the brothers of Dragon Tiger Stronghold would be willing to follow me and do my bidding from now on?"

Zhao Jianghe patted his chest, "Sixth Miss, we've been waiting for you to say that. As long as you give the order, none of us brothers from Dragon Tiger Stronghold will fail you."

Zhao Xun jumped forward excitedly and hugged her, "That's great, I can be with my little sister again. Little sister, if there's anything you need us to do, just tell us."

Xin Nian smiled.

"Okay, then come with me now."

"Xiao Qi, Xiao Wei, why are you crying?" Xin Nian looked speechlessly at the young men wiping away their tears. "I've been quite busy these past few days and haven't been able to take care of you all. But here you are now."

"But if you're going to work for me from now on, I have to say this upfront. From now on, no matter what happens, you'll have to listen to me. I'm basically a one-man show, understand?" The young girl had a clear understanding of herself.

"If you can obey orders, then we'll go together. If not, then stay here. The government will make further arrangements later."

The people of Dragon Tiger Stronghold jumped up and shouted, "Okay!"

Of course.

Just kidding, of course we have to go together. Ever since they spent some time with that girl, they've clearly learned what it means to be capable and competent.

These past few days have made Zhao Xun and the others extremely anxious. They had secretly discussed it several times before, and no matter what happens in the future, they must stick to their little aunt's coattails.

The young girl is skilled in medicine, and everyone has witnessed this along the way.

But once they entered the city, the little girl disappeared without a trace, which worried them for several days.

If His Highness the Crown Prince hadn't sent someone to inform them a couple of days ago, they would have already been secretly discussing staking out the governor's mansion to see if they could bump into the young girl.

While the atmosphere on one side was lively and filled with laughter, on the other side, a chilling wind and gloomy rain fell over the Chang family.

In the end, they still pushed Master Chang and Madam Chang out to talk to Xin Nian face to face.
