Famine Year: I Feed My Wife and Daughter with a System

share time: 2025-12-22 06:02:18

In the 13th year of Chongzhen, northern Henan was ravaged by famine. Hunter Lin Dazhu, watching his feverish daughter and wife gnawing on tree bark, was so desperate he wanted to hit a wall—until a glowing “Survival System” appeared on his wrist. Collecting a bundle of firewood got him half a catty of millet; saving a dying lamb earned him half a dose of fever-reducing herbs. But the next task shocked him: “Give your only cornmeal to the famine-stricken orphans.” Grumbling, Lin followed through—only to see his daughter’s fever break, his wife’s eyes light up again, and even the neighbors who once hated him bring wild vegetables. When the system finally popped up “Mission Accomplished,” he realized: what needs “feeding” in a famine is never just the stomach—it’s the warmth of the human heart.
