Shen Xiaoman never thought about getting rich in his life.
She transformed into the thin little daughter of the Orion family. She thought that she could live a peaceful life by guarding the mountains and hunting game. Stronger? That's God's gift of food. Better skills? That's because dad taught me well.
But God doesn't fulfill people's wishes.
A once-in-a-century drought cut off rivers; crops were wiped out by locusts that blocked the sky; a wildfire burned even the last forest to ashes.
No water, no food, no way to survive.
More than 30 people in the village tied their last hope to a broken truck to escape the famine.
Ahead is a thousand miles of wilderness, where bandits are rampant, plague is raging, and starvation is everywhere. Behind you is a homeland that you cannot return to.
Everyone said that most of the team, made up of old, weak, women and children, could not travel more than three hundred miles.
But Shen Xiaoman didn't believe it.
Her thin body can carry a hundred kilograms of wooden piles, and her hands that draw a bow and shoot arrows can still clear wasteland, cultivate land, dig wells and build walls. From identifying poisons in wild vegetables on the road to escape, to guarding animals in fences after settling in the mountains and forests; from the saline-alkali land with no harvest, to the harvest fields with rolling waves of wheat——
With her hands, she led the villagers to find a way out of the desperate situation.
When bandits came, she set traps; when the plague came, she collected medicine to save people; when the government oppressed her, she argued for reasons; when natural disasters continued, she gritted her teeth and started all over again.
This is a story about hunger, about escape, and about blooming flowers in the mud.
Open it and you will see how a thin girl holds up the hope of a village with both hands.
