   ① "Head north, or you won't be able to get out." Upon hearing the news from the Marquis of Qingyi's residence, Village Chief Lin knew it was absolutely true. "Quick! Quick! Everyone pack up quickly, we have to leave immediately. Take all the food, survival is the priority. Don't pack any junk, we only have one hour, we have to leave even in the dark." ② This story is about the entire village trapped on the mountain, with fewer and fewer people and insufficient resources. The formation left by the village chief is about to collapse. ③ This story begins with fleeing famine, then escapes from war, and finally deciphers a mystery.

    This story is truly excellent. Everyone in the village, and the villages that join later, are good people. Along the way, you meet many people, each with their own storyline. These aren't flat, mere supporting characters written to highlight the protagonist. The female lead and her family are also wonderful—neither overly saintly nor selfish. While the female lead doesn't have a romantic partner, the other characters' relationships are all quite good. The author seems to listen to feedback; the initial girl who seemed to be a potential third party wasn't great, but the author changed her after hearing the feedback. I love authors who listen to advice.

One is about the whole village fleeing famine to build a home and become wealthy in a remote, desolate place, while the other is about living in seclusion in the mountains and building a home instead of fleeing.
