After picking up his sister, Brother Jin gave her his life

Chapter 336 Dawn

However, finding water only temporarily alleviated their plight, as hunger set in again.

Everyone began to look for fruits in the forest.

Jiang Shiyu had sharp eyes and discovered a tree full of unknown fruits.

But the tree was tall and difficult to climb.

Yan Zeyu came up with a solution. He made a simple catapult using branches and vines and tried to knock the fruit down.

After many attempts, I finally succeeded in getting some fruits.

However, they did not dare to eat it rashly, fearing that the fruit might be poisonous.

Ming Nanjin carefully observed the shape and color of the fruit, smelled it, and finally decided that she could try a small amount.

Everyone ate a little cautiously, waited for a while, and found that there were no adverse reactions, then they filled their stomachs with peace of mind.

On the fourth day, they were running low on food and water.

Hunger and thirst caused their physical strength to decline severely. At this moment, a group of dark shadows rushed out from the woods. They turned out to be a group of ferocious beasts.

They bared their teeth and claws, and their eyes revealed ferocity and hunger.

Ming Nanjin quickly protected Xiao Chengcheng behind him and shouted to the others, "Be careful!"

These beasts are agile, some look like wolves, some look like tigers, with shiny fur and sharp fangs.

A huge wild beast pounced on Ming Nanjin first. Ming Nanjin dodged to the side, pulled out the dagger from his waist, and stabbed the beast in the belly.

The beast roared in pain, and attacked even more frantically.

Jiang Shiwen took a thick wooden stick and swung it hard at a beast that was rushing towards him, but the beast slapped the stick away with its claws and his arm was scratched.

Jiang Shiyu shouted anxiously: "Jiang Shiwen!"

But Jiang Shiwen ignored the pain and rushed forward again to fight the beast.

Yan Zeyu used his agile body to dodge the beast's attacks and looked for opportunities to counterattack.

Ming Nanjin protected Xiao Chengcheng while dealing with the beast. His eyes were firm and cold, and every move was precise and powerful. Xiao Chengcheng hugged Ming Nanjin's neck tightly, too scared to make a sound.

A beast took advantage of Ming Nanjin's distraction and attacked from behind. At this critical moment, Xiao Chengcheng shouted, "Ge Ge, behind me!"

Ming Nanjin turned around suddenly and blocked the beast's attack with a dagger.

After a fierce battle, the beasts finally realized that the opponent in front of them was difficult to deal with and fled.

But everyone was exhausted and their bodies were covered with wounds.

Ming Nanjin was breathing heavily and checking everyone's injuries. Jiang Shiwen's arm was bleeding, Yan Zeyu had a few scratches on his face, and Jiang Shiyu also had some abrasions.

Although Xiao Chengcheng was not injured, he was extremely frightened.

"Everyone hold on a little longer, we will definitely be able to get out."

Ming Nanjin encouraged everyone.

Although they were exhausted physically and mentally, they still supported each other and continued to move forward with a firm belief in getting out of the forest.

After walking for a while, they found some signs of human activities, which cheered everyone up.

Following these traces, they finally walked out of this terrible forest and welcomed the long-lost sunshine and hope.

After walking out of the forest, they saw an open meadow in front of them. The breeze blew gently, bringing a breath of fresh air. The sunshine sprinkled on their bodies, dispelling the haze and fatigue they had accumulated in the forest.

"We're finally out!" Jiang Shiyu shouted excitedly, his face filled with joy of surviving the disaster.

Everyone collapsed to the ground, breathing in the fresh air, enjoying the tranquility and peace of the moment.

However, they couldn't completely relax yet. Ming Nanjin stood up with all her might and began to observe the surroundings. Not far away, there was a winding path that seemed to lead to a village.

"We have to figure out where this is first, and then find a way to move forward." Ming Nanjin said.

Everyone nodded in agreement and dragged their heavy bodies along the path.

Soon, they arrived at the village. The villagers looked at them curiously when they saw their miserable appearance. A kind old man came up and asked about their situation.

Ming Nanjin explained their experience to the old man, who warmly invited them to rest at his home and provided them with food and water.

At the old man's home, they wolfed down the food to replenish their energy. After Xiao Chengcheng was full, he soon fell asleep on the bed with a sweet smile on his face.

Jiang Shiwen said to the old man gratefully: "Thank you, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't know what to do."

The old man smiled and waved his hand: "Everyone encounters difficulties when they are away from home."

After a night of rest, everyone's spirits improved a lot. The next morning, they prepared to say goodbye to the old man and continue looking for the elders of the Beiming family.

Just as they were about to leave the village, the old man stopped them, handed them some dry food and water, and told them about the road conditions ahead.

They followed the direction indicated by the old man. Although they encountered some minor troubles along the way, it was much easier than the experience in the forest.

After a few more days, they finally arrived at a small town.

In the town, they heard some news about the Bei Ming family. It seemed that the elder of the family lived on a mountain not far away.

They walked towards the mountain full of hope. The mountain road was rugged and difficult, but their steps were firm.

Finally, they saw an old manor with a man who looked like a butler standing at the door.

Ming Nanjin walked forward and looked at the gate of this ancient manor.

The door is tall and heavy, exuding the vicissitudes of time, as if carrying countless unknown stories.

The stone pillars on both sides of the door are carved with exquisite patterns. Although they are a little mottled, one can still vaguely see their former glory.

He had no impression of the buildings here, nor had he seen this place in any information his mother had.

His eyes swept across the scattered buildings and a sense of strangeness surged in his heart.

The surrounding walls are covered with vines, as if telling the passage of time.

He stood there, staring for a long time, trying to find a trace of familiarity in this strange scene, but in the end it was in vain.

He suddenly felt a little confused. Having lived outside for so many years, he didn't believe these things from outsiders.

He was used to observing everything around him with a vigilant eye, and this moment was no exception.

Years of wandering have built high walls around his heart, making it difficult for him to open up to others.

He was well aware of the complexity of human hearts and the dangers of the world, so even though he was standing in a place that might be related to his life experience, his heart was still full of defense.

Ming Nanjin straightened her clothes, took a deep breath, and walked forward to greet the housekeeper at the door.

"Hello, I'm Ming Nanjin, I'm here to see some elders of the Beiming family."

His voice was steady and firm, and his eyes revealed an irresistible aura.

When the housekeeper heard that Ming Nanjin was here to see some elders, his eyes were full of disdain.

That disdainful look was like an icy sharp arrow, shooting straight at Ming Nanjin.
