Chapter 52: Traveling Together Yan Lao'er casually remarked, "So, that magistrate isn’t such a bad official after all." Yan Huaiwen let out a cold snort. "He's soft-hearted, afraid of taking responsibility, and always relies on his superiors' compassion instead of fighting for what’s needed. To those above him, he is incompetent; to those below, he accomplishes nothing. Is such an official truly good?" "At least he turned a blind eye to the gentry delaying their taxes," Yan Lao'er pointed…-

Chapter 53: "Ouroboros" The night watchmen of each family didn't even dare to blink. Yan Lao'er was nervous, too. Lately, he'd had the unsettling feeling that someone was lurking nearby. Sanbao could detect people around them, but he couldn't discern their intentions. If this kept up, Yan Lao'er felt like he'd develop a nervous breakdown. Again, that damned sharp sixth sense. "Who's there? I see you! What are you doing over there? Get over here, quick!" This line of his worked every…-

Chapter 54: Plans Can’t Keep Up with Changes “I don’t see many of them. Let’s contact the people behind us, take them all down, snatch our people back, and drive them away. Let’s see how they survive on their own!” Yan Lao’er had thought they were just robbing food—he hadn’t expected them to be this wicked. “We can’t act rashly.” Yan Huaiwen was more thoughtful. “Do these people really have no family? Where are their families? Are they in the group?” The village elders…-

Chapter 48 Roasted Snake Meat “Sanbao! Random cattle dung drop!” After Yan Yu shouted the command, the family of three did nothing but wait. They were simply too curious. Similar yet distinct dried fodder dropped to the ground with a crackling sound. Truly—an eye-opener. Yan Lao’er gathered up the grass cakes. None of it could go to waste. Mixed with some green feed, it could still be used… This time, they got about two jin each of chicken, fish, and pork, along with rice,…-

Chapter 49: A Treasure from Head to Tail Physician Cui was carefully cleaning the snake skin. Using a scraper, he meticulously removed the residual flesh clinging to the inside, then propped it open with bamboo sticks to lay it flat for drying. Looking at the dog-chewed-looking snake skin that had been stripped off, he couldn't help but grumble, “Such waste… absolute waste…” But as the aroma of roasted snake meat drifted over, he immediately shut his mouth and swallowed hard. His…-

Chapter 50 The World Has Gone Mad In the scorching midday sun, Yan Lao’er rode off on his ox again, taking along large and small bundles. The villagers were already used to him running outside every day. Perhaps it was because everyone had eaten meat that morning, but they weren’t very hungry. They casually ate a bit of steamed bun and didn’t even bother lighting a fire. Li Xuemei pulled Daya in to help with the work. They had woven plenty of straw sandals, enough to last for a while.…-

Chapter 45: With Fire Comes Hope For clothing, there were four items. Yan Yu only dared to sell one. The door curtains pulled down from her uncle, eldest brother, and Sister Daya’s rooms each sold for 3.4. The candle holder from Sister Daya’s room sold for 19. The little straw hat borrowed from the Hu family’s youngest daughter sold for only 1.4. Poor thing, sold for so little, and she’d have to go back and spin a kind lie about it. Just as Yan Yu was hesitating over whether to sell…-

Chapter 46: A New Companion The sister on the other side swiped out and bought two buckets of water. Transaction complete. The call disconnected. The screen returned to Yan Yu’s official shop. Yan Yu and Li Xuemei exchanged a look and sighed together. Yan Lao’er cautiously asked, “What’s wrong? Is her illness serious?” He figured it must be that woman from the rain-soaked place who’d fallen ill. “Sigh!” Li Xuemei said sympathetically, “Poor thing, all alone, sick…-
