After three years of severe drought, Shan'ao Village was so hungry that it was chewing the soil.
Orion hunter Chen Laosan and his daughter-in-law Liu went into the mountains to set up traps, and found a three-year-old girl at the bottom of a pit that was as dry as a turtle's back.
The couple was so poor that they had to count the grains of rice in the pot, and they had to count the roots to get a piece of firewood, but they still brought the baby back and named it Chen Xiaoman.
——They didn't know that what they picked up was the Drought Demon that was offered on the altar thousands of years ago.
The uncle's family came to grab food and scolded him as "bastards also want to eat the Chen family's food." Xiaoman threw the thousand-jin stone mill three feet away with one hand, smashing half of the courtyard wall. After throwing it, he sucked his fingers.
A pack of wolves descended from the mountain to surround the village, and the villagers wanted to sacrifice her to evil spirits. The Wolf King stepped over everyone and knelt at her feet.
Wells in the whole village were dry and ponds were cracked. She stamped her foot on her sloping field, and a spring emerged, causing the crops to bend overnight.
From then on, at the entrance of the courtyard of this family, people knelt during the day to beg for survival, and at night, the animals squatted to guard the house and the courtyard.
The corrupt grain dealer wanted to take action, but the wild beasts all over the mountain lined up on their own.
Only Xiaoman knew that every time she diverted water, the ground beneath her feet would dry up.
She also knew that she was being harsh - "I don't feel sorry for you. If you are dead, who will steam the steamed buns for me?"
