Nona did not know what others were talking about or how they looked at it, and she was not interested.

Right now, the only thing she was worried about was how she could survive. When a person's survival was a problem, nothing else mattered.

"Sigh!" "Damn it, I must not die!"

However, the more it was like this, the stronger the vigor in Jiu Niang's heart. She definitely couldn't die like this. She must live on and show her true colors: "Gu Yu, laozi will make you regret it!"

Yes, yes, that's it.

She must live well, and very well. She must make Gu Yu regret abandoning her.

However …

"Gulp, gulp …"

My stomach is so hungry!

She hadn't eaten anything all day, not even a grain of rice at home. It was so clean that mice would despise her.

"Sigh, I'm starving to death. What should I do?"

All of his lofty aspirations were nothing compared to the hunger pangs in front of him.

Both of her hands tightly hugged her stomach. Nona felt like she wanted to cry but had no tears. Just what kind of sin had she done to fall to such a state?

"Forget it, forget it. Let's hurry up and leave!"

She quickly scanned her surroundings. Other than the dry and yellow weeds, there was nothing else in her surroundings. There was nothing for her to do, so she could only endure her hunger and continue walking forward. This place wasn't far from the village. Even if there were some wild vegetables to eat, they would have already been taken away by the people from the village. The most frightening thing was that she didn't know anything about wild vegetables. All the wild vegetables were like weeds in her eyes...

Moreover, this year's weather was unknown. There had been no rain for months, and even the surrounding rivers had dried up. Not to mention yes, it was even hard to find saliva to drink …

"Hualalala …" "Hualala …"

Although she was tired and hungry, Jiu Niang still insisted on walking into the mountains. Hearing the distant splashing sound of water, Jiu Niang's eyes instantly lit up. She was so tired that it was as if she was on stimulants. "There's water, this is great!"

Dry, thirsty, tired, and hungry. Even if he couldn't find anything to eat in his free time, it was still good to have saliva to drink.

Nona could not help but increase her speed.

However …

"Ah …" "It hurts!"

Seeing that the little river was right in front of her, Jiu Niang was overjoyed. Suddenly, her foot felt a sharp pain. She quickly lowered her head and saw a finger thick snake swimming far away.

In an instant, there was only one thought left in Nona's mind, and that was: I'm finished! She was bitten by a snake!

"Damn it!"

Tired and hungry, and bitten by a snake!

"Don't tell me the heavens want me dead!"

Looking up at the sky, Nona felt an indescribable helplessness rising up in her heart. She was already so unlucky, yet she still encountered such a thing. "Not good, it's a poisonous snake!"

Bending down, Jiu Niang took a look and saw two deep teeth marks on her ankle. The blood that flowed out turned black.

Immediately, the little bit of expectation in Nona's heart dissipated. She had originally hoped that her luck would be better than that of a venomous snake, but … But he didn't expect that …

"We're dead for sure this time!"

She was tired, hungry, and bitten by a venomous snake. Despair quickly filled her heart.

She felt weak all over, and her head felt a bit dizzy. She simply didn't have time to react and directly fell to the ground …

At this moment, she only had one thought in her mind, and that was to die. If she died, she might even be able to teleport back. With such a thought in her mind, the last bit of desire for survival disappeared from Nona's heart …

"Ugh …"

After who knows how long had passed, Jiu Niang blurrily smelled a very pleasant fragrance. Although she didn't know what it was, she directly told her that it was very tasty. She didn't have the slightest bit of strength left in her body, and her head was dizzy. The extremely hungry Nona could only instinctively crawl towards the object that was emitting the fragrance, and randomly started nibbling on it …

Then he continued to faint.

"Hualalala …" "Hualala …"

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of water flowing in her ears woke her up. She opened her eyes in a daze and found herself lying on the grass not more than half a meter away from the river. If she rolled any further, she would fall into the river. Although the river was not deep, the wine still gave him a fright. He hurriedly got up and retreated. She didn't know if it was because her original owner had drowned, but she was especially afraid of water. Every time she came to a deeper part of the water, she would instinctively resist.

"How strange, didn't I get bitten by a snake? "Why isn't he dead yet?"

She clearly remembered that it was a poisonous snake, and it should have been an extremely poisonous snake. At that time, she didn't even have the time to react before fainting on the spot. She thought she was dead for sure, but how come everything was fine now?

Nona felt somewhat puzzled. She even suspected that she was dreaming. Otherwise, how could she suddenly be completely fine?

"Could it really be a dream?"

Feeling that she was fine, Nona rolled up her pants with suspicion. There were two deep teeth marks on her ankle …

So it was real. He was indeed bitten by a snake.

But...

"How did this happen?"

He had already fainted after being bitten by the venomous snake, which meant that the poison was very powerful. However, he had clearly done nothing, so why was there suddenly nothing else? This time, Nona was really puzzled. Scratching her head, she tried her best to recall it. Suddenly …

"Right, I seem to have eaten something!"

That's right, she remembered that after she fainted, she smelled something good. She thought she was in a daze, then she seemed to have eaten something. At that time, the doctors were all blurry and could not remember anything. However, Jiu Niang believed that the situation at that time was not too far off. That thing should be in the vicinity …

"What is it? "What is that thing so powerful?"

When she realized that she had gotten lucky and not only had she escaped with her life, but she had also run into some good stuff, she couldn't sit still any longer and quickly got up to search around.

At that time, he was unconscious, so it was impossible for him to go far, so that thing must be nearby. At that time, he had also smelled a very nice smell. It was that smell that had stimulated him, causing him to wake up in a daze.

Although she thought she was unconscious and didn't see what it was at all, Jiu Niang still clearly remembered it. She believed that as long as she smelled it, she would definitely be able to recognize it.

"How strange, why can't I find it?"

However, Jiu Niang searched back and forth along the river bank several times, and even carefully guessed her possible path. However, she was still unable to find anything. "It's really strange, why isn't there one?" Could it be that it disappeared into thin air? "

After searching for a while, she found that there was nothing. Jiu Niang could no longer hold herself back.

Could it be that he had already eaten up very few of those things?

"Sigh …"

After searching for a while, she was unable to find anything. Instead, she was drenched in sweat. There was an unspeakable gloominess in Nona's heart.

He had originally thought that he had been struck by a great stroke of luck and had encountered a good object. However, she didn't expect there to be nothing at all. Now, Nona felt somewhat depressed.

"Forget it, I really can't say for sure about luck."

She had turned over almost every rock, but she still couldn't find anything. Although she was unwilling, there was nothing she could do. Seeing the sky gradually darken, she decided not to linger any longer. She was well aware of her purpose in coming to the mountain.

The reason why she entered the mountain was because she wanted to find something to eat. Otherwise, if her family did not have a single grain, she would starve to death. It was just that she didn't expect that she would be bitten by a snake in her business. She had been alone for a long time, and after seeing the sky slowly darken, if she delayed any longer, she really wouldn't be able to see anything. She hadn't had anything to eat for a whole day, so she had to find something edible. She clearly remembered that when she came here, she was extremely hungry, but why did she not feel hungry at all?

"This is really strange. Could it be that I'm too hungry?"

No matter how she thought about it, she couldn't think of a reasonable explanation. Nona could only conclude that she must have been hungry to the point of fainting, so she didn't feel hungry anymore.

She did not care about the delay, so she bent down to wash her face. She felt much more awake now, so she quickly left the river and went deeper into the forest. This part of the forest was considered the outskirts of the forest. Under normal circumstances, very few people would come here, but due to the strange weather this year, the crops were almost gone.

As a result, most of the food in this generation had already been harvested. If they wanted to find something to eat, they could only go deeper into the forest. However, fierce beasts would frequently appear in the depths of the forest. The villagers wouldn't dare to rashly enter, and since there was space, Jiu Niang bravely continued to venture deeper. Along the way, she was always on high alert, carefully observing her surroundings as she prepared to drill into space at any time. It was because of this heaven-defying existence that she dared to take risks. Otherwise, a little girl like her would simply be courting death by entering these deep mountains and forests.

"Huu huu, it seems like the heavens are indeed determined to kill this man."

On the way, Nona carefully walked forward while harvesting edible food.

She didn't know many wild vegetables, but she did know quite a lot of wood ears, mushrooms, and the like. Her grandfather loved to eat all kinds of mushrooms, and every rainy season, he would live in the countryside for a while. She would often follow him.

Compared to the village, the mountains were clearly more moist. On the way, Nona's luck was not bad, finding quite a few mushrooms, and also quite a few wood ears on the overturned trees.

"Eh? These are wild grapes? "

Just as Nona was about to turn back, she suddenly saw a bunch of red and purple grapes hanging densely on top of a wild grape. Immediately, Nona's mouth filled with saliva. "Without giving it much thought, his feet reacted instantly and he quickly ran towards the grapes …

"Wow, delicious, delicious!"

He quickly tore off a string and stuffed it into his mouth.

The sweet and sour taste stimulated Nona's taste buds.
