Sweet Dreams in Famine Years: The System Leads to a Brilliant Life

The brothers of the One-Eyed Dragon usually obeyed the orders of the boss and regarded him as their backbone. But now they were asked to kill the boss with their own hands, and no one dared to move for a while, and the scene fell into a strange silence.

The one-eyed dragon looked at all this, feeling extremely proud, with a sneer on his face: "Young lady, I advise you not to waste your energy. My brothers will never betray me!"

He was full of confidence and thought Zeng Zhengen was just trying to scare him. After all, she was just a weak young lady. However, Zeng Zhengen was calm and unmoved in the face of his provocation.

"Oh? Really?" Zeng Zhengen smiled softly, his voice still gentle, "If that's the case, then I can only come here in person."

The one-eyed man originally thought that she was just bluffing, but she was actually getting closer and closer. Her eyes were calm, her steps were steady, and there was no hesitation. None of this seemed like a joke.

As she approached step by step, an inexplicable fear began to surge in the heart of the one-eyed man. He widened his eye and the smugness on his face gradually disappeared.

"You...you can't kill me...I'm the boss of the village!" The one-eyed dragon's voice began to tremble because of fear and nervousness, and his words were stuttering.

Zeng Zhengen smiled coldly, his eyes as cold as ice: "If you die, you will be nothing."

Her tone was as cold as a blade in winter, and the one-eyed dragon felt a chill down his spine. If he just wanted to rob money, Zeng Zhengen might have let him go, but he crossed her bottom line.

The one-eyed dragon was so scared that he kept retreating, struggling desperately, trying to distance himself from Zeng Zhengen, but no matter how he struggled, Zeng Zhengen's steps were still steadily approaching, and the dagger in her hand was shining coldly, as if the sickle of the god of death was approaching step by step. Every time the distance was shortened, the one-eyed dragon's heartbeat accelerated, and despair surged in his heart.

Just when the tense fear almost made the one-eyed dragon collapse, the second in command beside him suddenly stood up and roared: "Brothers! Since we are all going to die, we might as well go together and fight this bitch!"

He thought that his shout would surely inspire the brothers to fight together. After all, they were numerous and powerful. Even if Zeng Zhengen was powerful, she was just a woman. If they rushed forward, they could easily win by sheer numbers.

However, what was unexpected was that his call echoed in the cave, but no one responded except himself. The brothers bowed their heads in silence, and no one stood up.

"You...you all have forgotten how the boss treated you?" The second in command was furious and wanted to beat up those brothers who bowed their heads.

The robbers in the cave all lowered their heads. They knew that the boss was usually nice to them, but when it came to life and death, who would care about the feelings of others?

Zeng Zhengen didn't have time to watch them show their brotherly love, so he walked directly to the one-eyed dragon, raised his knife and killed him. The knife flashed, and the one-eyed dragon fell down instantly with a look of unwillingness.

When the second in command saw this scene, he was stunned, as if time had stopped and even his breathing became sluggish. "You...how could you do this..." He muttered to himself, his face turning pale in an instant.

He was their boss, the most powerful person in their village, and was once the faith in their hearts.

"Puff..." The second in command was unable to accept this reality for a moment, and blood gushed out uncontrollably.

Zeng Zhengen quickly dodged to the side, secretly thanking himself for his quick reaction, otherwise he would have been splashed with blood.

Although she admired the loyalty and righteousness of the Second Master, she also knew that if the root of the problem was not eradicated, there would be endless trouble. So, when the Second Master fainted, Zeng Zhengen acted without hesitation and sent him to "reunite" with the One-Eyed Dragon.

Zeng Zhengen dealt with the leader of the village, and only some of the minions were left. She did not intend to kill them all, after all, she was not a cold-blooded person. After teaching these small characters a lesson, she expelled them all from the village.

Zeng Zhengen returned to the yard only after dealing with the robbers in the mountain village. Zeng's mother had already prepared a sumptuous breakfast. Knowing that her daughter did not like wild vegetable cakes, she specially steamed a pot of fragrant white rice. Zeng's mother fried the remaining wolf meat until it was delicious, cut some pickles on the side, and finally cooked a bowl of hot wild vegetable soup.

After breakfast, everyone quickly packed up and prepared to continue their journey. Before leaving the village, Zeng Zhengen did not hesitate to set a fire, burning the village to ashes.

When everyone returned to the canyon, it was already noon. The carriage that One-Eyed Dragon had brought with him was quietly parked in the jungle beside the canyon. After the team went down the mountain, they took the carriage with them.

"Girl Zeng, the villagers all agree that this carriage is most suitable for your family." Pan Yang walked up and said to Zeng Zhengen with a smile.

The villagers of Dapo Village were not ungrateful people. Zeng Zhengen had helped them a lot along the way, and they naturally understood it. Therefore, the villagers unanimously supported the decision to give the carriage to Zeng Zhengen.

Although Zeng Zhengen didn't want this carriage at first, after all, it was once ridden by the one-eyed man, and she was somewhat reluctant. But after seeing the tired look of the children, she finally gave up the idea. Forget it, let the children sit in the carriage, and the journey will be easier.

"Okay, then I would like to thank my fellow villagers." Zeng Zhengen expressed his gratitude to Pan Yang, then turned around to pack up the carriage.

"You all get in the carriage!" she said to the children.

The three little guys' eyes lit up immediately, their faces full of anticipation. "Mom, can we really take a carriage to travel?" Zhang Jiahu blinked and asked in disbelief.

It was no wonder that he was so surprised. After all, for farmers like them, a horse-drawn carriage was too luxurious and out of reach.

Zeng Zhengen smiled and nodded, "Well, you can all sit in the carriage from now on."

When Zhang Jiahu heard the news, he couldn't wait to climb onto the carriage, followed by Zhang Jiaqi, and finally Zhang Jiajun.

"Mom, don't you want to ride in the carriage with us?" Zhang Jiajun asked expectantly, holding on to the edge of the carriage.

"Well, Mom is not tired, you just sit down." Zeng Zhengen replied with a smile.

After Zeng Zhengen comforted him, Zhang Jiajun jumped into the carriage with peace of mind. Then, Zeng Zhengen called Zeng Sirui and her brother. Perhaps because of the famine, the brother and sister had changed a lot.

Zeng Sicheng became more sensible and no longer spoiled and willful as before. Zeng Sirui no longer seemed timid, but became generous and cheerful.

When the siblings heard Zeng Zhengen invite them to sit in the carriage, their faces were filled with joy. "Thank you, auntie. We will definitely be filial to you when we grow up!"
