After Taking My Whole Family to Escape from the Famine, I Built a New Village in the Barren Mountain

Jiang Guizhi died in the last winter of the disaster year. In her last life, she listened to her uncle's family and told them to stay in the village to wait for relief. As a result, the granary was robbed, the wells dried up, her parents died of starvation, and her younger siblings were separated. She was sold for two bags of sorghum. When she opened her eyes again, she went back to a month before the drought broke out. In the middle of the night, she dreamed of her deceased grandmother sitting in front of the stove, picking up the soles of her shoes and saying: "There is an abandoned cave dwelling thirty miles southwest, and there is a spring behind the cave; the silver coins hidden by your grandfather are buried under the old locust tree in the north mountain; on the eighth day of July, the official line will be cut off." After waking up, Jiang Guizhi discovered that the location of the stitches in her dream actually showed map patterns on the soles of her shoes. She no longer hesitated, and first forced her parents to separate the family, and then exchanged the skills of weaving, pickling, and grinding tofu that she had learned in her previous life for grain and salt. The villagers laughed at her as she was crazy, saying that Lao Jiang's girl was frightened by hunger. But a month later, the drought worsened and the river bottom bottomed out. Jiang Guizhi was already pushing the trolley, taking her parents, siblings and other villagers who were willing to believe in her, towards the path of survival pointed out by her grandmother in her dream. There are refugees, bandits, and fake relief teams on the road. She relied on dreams to warn against disasters, relied on craftsmanship to find roads, and used hidden money to buy seeds. Finally, she dug a spring near an abandoned kiln in a barren mountain and took her family to settle down and open up wasteland. When the uncle's unkempt family came to seek shelter, Jiang Guizhi stood at the gate of the new village: "If you want to come in, you can, first pay back the life you owe my family."
