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

Chapter 181 Wasteland
"Oh, by the way, your grandmother woke up and wants to see you."

Xin Nian nodded and hurried over to the small cave dwelling next door.

This small cave dwelling was originally used to store flour, potatoes, and carrots. Today, most of it was moved out and made into finished products. There is more than enough room for my uncle's family to move in and live there.

The others, including Xin Nian and her family, still lived in the original underground garage.

Tie a straw mat in the corner as a curtain; that provides a little bit of privacy.

There's nothing we can do about it; these are the living conditions we have now, so nobody can blame anyone else.

The clerks and their families who were brought in by the eldest uncle were all well-mannered and respectful.

As for the exiles who were with Xin Nian, everyone knew how powerful the Sixth Sister's family was, and they were too busy trying to curry favor with them to cause any trouble.

Xin Nian bent down and peeked into the small, detached cave dwelling. She saw her grandmother leaning against a straw mat in the corner and immediately broke into a big smile.

"Good child, come here quickly." When Madam Xie saw her well-behaved and clever granddaughter, a loving smile immediately appeared on her face.

Xin Nian hurried over, sat down next to the old lady, her eyes shining brightly with a smile, "Grandmother, you look much better. Is your stomach still upset today?"

Madam Xie smiled, took her fair hand, and patted it gently a few times. "Much better."

"Thanks to the medicinal porridge that the young lady brings every day, the old lady's spirits have improved a lot after drinking it." Zhang Mama's joy was evident in her words.

If it weren't for the young girl's filial piety and her early intervention to help the old lady, who knows what would have happened to her now.

It's no wonder that one's health wouldn't improve while holed up in a dark, cramped cave dwelling.

"That's good." Xin Nian smiled. "Have you had the vegetable pancakes? My mother and I made them ourselves."

"She ate it." Granny Zhang said with a smile. "These pancakes are soft and easy to chew. The old lady ate two in a row and kept praising how delicious they were. Now she's in much better spirits."

With a kind smile, Madam Xie looked at her granddaughter and said, "It's inconvenient for you and your mother to live outside. Let your cousins ​​and uncles go out and you move in. That way, we can have a closer chat."

“Okay!” Xin Nian agreed with a smile, glancing at Xie Rui beside her. “But I’m afraid my cousin will be unhappy and secretly say that I’m monopolizing my maternal grandmother.”

Xie Rui was caught in the crossfire for no reason, and helplessly cupped his hands in greeting, saying, "Please, cousin Niannian, spend more time with Grandmother."

The old lady laughed out loud.

She only had one son and one daughter in her life, and now her grandson and granddaughter are both her one and only children, and she cherishes them equally.

He had been constantly thinking about his daughter and granddaughter, fearing they would suffer greatly on the journey, and had been feeling depressed.

Seeing that the mother and daughter were doing well, I felt much more at ease, my mood improved, and my appetite returned.

Although I am now in a dimly lit cave dwelling, for some reason, I find that everything I eat tastes delicious and everything I see makes me very happy.

The old lady decided to let Xie Ninglan and her daughter move in, and Lao Xin could only watch helplessly as his wife packed up and left.

Lying in a row with his father-in-law at night, Lao Xin didn't dare to move an inch. After a night's sleep, he was in a terrible state, with a sore back, aching legs, and cramps.

Xin Nian used spatial jump to return to the ground without anyone noticing.

The fire rain continued to fall, but it had shrunk from fist-sized meteors into scattered specks.

Xin Nian stood on a dilapidated wall, carrying an iron pot on his head.

This place was originally the council hall of the governor's mansion, but it has now been smashed to pieces by the fire meteor.

The little girl sighed a few times, looking at the ruins on the ground, feeling a bit melancholy and depressed.

The fertile land and the expensive buildings were all destroyed in this meteor shower of fire.

However, something unexpected yet reasonable happened.

An endless stream of energy surged from the ground, which was quite suitable for a superpowered person like her. Xin Nian sighed and returned to the underground vault, looking somewhat depressed.

Seeing this, Lao Xin knew the situation outside was dire, and quietly asked his daughter, "Has the fire still not stopped?"

"The big, fist-sized meteor has stopped. But now it's been drizzling."

"Fire broke out in many parts of the city. Once the fires have burned everything away, this place... will be completely reduced to wasteland."

Upon hearing this, Lao Xin sighed deeply.

"It's alright, honey." Xie Ninglan leaned close to her daughter, put her arm around her, and smiled encouragingly. "We've saved a lot of seeds. As long as we find a suitable place, Mom will give them a good push to grow, and we'll eventually grow a patch of green."

“That’s right, the greatest hope is that we’re all alive and well.” Old Xin nodded vigorously, then looked worried. “The people we have living in Binzhou are all being taken care of.”

"It's a pity that the common people who are still on the road to escape famine probably have nowhere to hide."

"Yes, and there are those officials like Wang Yinghui of Wan'an Prefecture. When disaster strikes, they will definitely take their families and run away first, regardless of the lives of ordinary people."

The more they talked, the heavier their mood became.

When natural disasters strike, those who are resourceful enough to save their lives are generally quite capable.

"Let's talk about something good, Dad. I'll take you out first. The underground energy is surging. I'll stay by your side and help you advance."

"Okay!" Old Xin nodded emphatically.

"Come on, come on, there's work to do again!" Chang Mianmian shouted through a small megaphone.

Having experienced yesterday's group formation day, everyone has clearly adapted quite a bit.

Hearing the commotion, many people began to line up, silently preparing to get to work.

"Today we sort all the beans and boil them into various bean soups or grind them into powder to make soy milk and bean cakes."

"Everyone, don't panic. Go to my mother's place to register and collect your food supplies first. We'll teach everyone how to do it later!"

"We'll be doing this job for the next couple of days. Those who finish quickly and well will receive additional rewards on top of their points."

"Men line up separately, left and right! Men, grind the beans and cut the pork. Women, pick and wash all the leafy greens in the storeroom today."

Amidst the blaring of the horn, Xin Nian leaped to the ground with her elderly father.

The father and daughter each held a pot on their foreheads and glanced at each other.

"Girl, this fire rain doesn't seem very strong."

"That's because the land has already been ravaged." Xin Nian created a spatial barrier above their heads.

The father and daughter chose a relatively flat spot and climbed onto the ruins of the former council hall. Looking at the devastated world, they couldn't help but sigh repeatedly.

"The power of nature is boundless," the old father remarked with deep feeling.

"Throughout history, humankind has gradually built cities and villages, but when nature unleashes its fury, its destructive power is truly unmatched."

Xin Nian took out a grand master's chair, placed it on the ruins, and invited Old Xin to sit down.

"Dad, you can start now. I'll just watch you from here."

Xin Wenyuan sat down with an air of authority, cleared his throat, and said, "Daughter, don't keep staring at me."

"Don't be nervous, get into the zone quickly."

His daughter stared at him intently, making Old Xin feel incredibly pressured.

But after sitting down and starting to feel the energy surging from underground, my mind returned to peace.
