In the tiankeng cave.

A small figure crawled out from an upside-down backpack.

He quickly ran out of this inconspicuous little cave.

Chu Jinzhou was almost killed.

Fortunately, he suddenly discovered that there was another hole in the cave where he was imprisoned, leading to another cave.

He ran away quietly.

But the caves were all connected, and he didn't know where was where as he ran.

Finally, he quietly stole a backpack and hid in a small cave that was only big enough for the backpack to pass through.

In the small cave, he heard screams.

He didn't know what happened to these people. He didn't dare to run out until he hadn't heard any sound for a long time.

He was just walking in the cave, seeing blood and dead bodies everywhere, and he was stunned.

Who killed these people?

So many people were killed, there must have been many people who killed them.

It was dark, and the little guy was walking in the cave. There were many dead bodies. He should be afraid, but he had seen too many dead bodies.

What do these count for?

After walking for an unknown amount of time, he finally got out of the cave.

But where is he and how can I find my father and mother?

He was not afraid of death, but he was scared at the thought that he might not be able to find his father, mother, grandparents and younger brothers.

The world is so big, where should he find it?

He lowered his head and couldn't help shedding tears.

-

For the next two days, Chu Changfeng and his companions stayed in the cave, and no one was in the mood to travel.

Everyone was silent.

Not even eating.

Everyone cries from time to time.

Chu Jinnian never cried, but he was always in a daze, as if he was stupid.

It was two days later when Chu Changfeng and Shen Zhi realized that something was wrong with him.

Seeing him squatting, staring at the bloody little bundle, Chu Changfeng walked over to him and touched his head, "Niannian...are you...hungry? Do you want to eat something?"

The little guy shook his head.

Chu Changfeng felt uncomfortable, "Niannian, brother... he must be a happy and peaceful person in his next life. He must be living somewhere else. Let's not be sad, okay?"

His voice was extremely suppressed and rough.

He also cries all the time, so his voice is naturally hoarse.

Chu Jinnian shook his head and said stubbornly: "He is my brother... You can't be someone else's brother... He is my brother..."

"Brother...will not die...As long as I keep him with me, he will always be with us."

As he said this, he took the small bag and held it in his arms.

The blood on the bundle and the bones inside had dried long ago, but there was still a strong smell of blood.

Chu Jinnian seemed not to feel anything at all. He hugged him tightly and said, "Brother, don't be afraid. I'm here to protect you... I will never let you be bullied by others... Never again..."

Chu Changfeng's eyes were red.

"Brother, it's so cold outside, are you cold?"

"Brother, I won't feel cold if I hold you in my arms while sleeping today."

"Nian Nian." Chu Changfeng realized it was time to say goodbye to his child. "Give brother to daddy, and we will bury him in peace."

Chu Jinnian hugged the bundle tighter, "No! Don't bury me... I want my brother... We want to be with my brother forever... My brother will be scared... He will be scared..."

"I won't let you abandon your brother..."

Chu Changfeng opened his mouth, and every breath he took seemed to contain a blade, cutting him all over with scars, making him unable to speak.

Shen Zhi walked over holding Mu Mu who was crying.

"Nian Nian, mother has a way to make sure my brother is with us forever."

Chu Jinnian blinked, "Then what should we do?"

Shen Zhi took the small bag.

Finally, the small bundle was cremated and the ashes were placed in a small box.

Everyone was crying in pain.

Chu Jinnian held the ashes tightly in his arms and carried them wherever he went.

Even when Mumu wanted to hug him, he wouldn't let her.

This is his brother...

His brother is so powerful and so good...

The best brother in the world...

After staying in the cave for five days, Chu Changfeng went to the foot of the mountain to check the situation and then set off again with everyone.

Along the way, there were more and more refugees, but fortunately the weather improved.

The snow finally melted and the temperature rose a lot, so the road was not so difficult anymore.

Along the way, Chu Changfeng accidentally learned that their Linhe County had been conquered by the rebels and had become their capital.

I also heard that the rebels were conscripting people everywhere to fight against the imperial court. Almost every village had been captured, and many people had died.

Everyone felt depressed when they heard the news.

If they hadn't run away, they might have been caught and might have died on the battlefield.

But when they escaped, they lost a child...

No one knows which option is better.

But no matter what, time is moving forward, they are halfway there and must continue moving forward.

Chu Changfeng continued to lead everyone towards Mobei.

Several states and counties we passed through were in chaos, with bandits and rebels everywhere.

The journey was not peaceful.

Chu Changfeng led everyone to travel through the mountains and walk along the river.

A lot of the luggage from the beginning had already been thrown away, and even the carriage and cart were quietly put into the space by Shen Zhi.

However, they once again avoided the battlefield and went up the mountain, but it suddenly began to rain.

Although it was a spring rain, it was exceptionally heavy. There was no choice but to continue looking for a cave to rest.

Chu Changfeng and Chu Xiao took everyone around for a while and found a big cave.

The cave is composed of two or three small caves connected together.

"Let's rest here today and leave after the rain stops tomorrow." He said, and took Shen Zhi, Chu Jinnian and Mu Mu to choose a small cave.

Everyone looked at them and felt very sad.

Their family didn't blame them, but they couldn't help blaming themselves.

It would certainly be easier for them to leave without taking all of them with them.

Maybe nothing will happen to Zhou Zhou.

Zhang Xuemei cried every day, but Xiaobao was too young to understand what was going on.

He only knew that his beloved brother Zhou Zhou was missing and he hadn't seen him for many days.

He misses his brother Zhou Zhou.

Nestled in his mother's arms, he couldn't help but whisper: "Mom...where is Brother Zhou Zhou? Xiaobao misses him...he also said he would make toys for me in the future..."

Hearing this, Zhang Xuemei burst into tears.

"Mom, when will Brother Zhou Zhou come back?"

She touched the little guy's head and said, "Xiaobao, your brother Zhou Zhou... has gone to a very far place. He may not be able to be your uncle and aunt's son anymore. You have to help him honor your uncle and aunt in the future, okay?"

Xiaobao did not refuse and agreed immediately.

"Yeah! I respect my uncle and aunt."

But soon he dropped his shoulders again, "But...why didn't Brother Zhou Zhou come back?"
