A retired aunt traveled through time and space, and her daughter became rich!

"I, I'm from Yueyang County."

Aunt Su looked at Lin Lao Er who was standing aside.

She is old and can't remember the place names in this world clearly, so she can only ask her adopted son for help.

Lin Laoer said quickly, "Yueyang County is not too far from here. There are two counties in between, one is Shanzhi County, and the other is Liudian County..."

Originally, this place was far away from Tongcheng, and he knew nothing about these counties.

After a round trip, and making friends with quite a few merchants traveling from north to south, I gained a lot of knowledge. At least now I can talk about it.

Aunt Su hesitated for a moment and spoke more gently.

"Oh, it's two counties away, and the road is not close! You are so young, and you have suffered a lot."

As soon as these words were spoken, the little beggar's eyes immediately filled with tears.

"That's what the old lady said."

Aunt Su then asked, "Why did you leave your hometown at such a young age? What difficulties did you encounter?"

The little beggar's eyes sparkled. "Madam, my parents died early, so I could only live with my uncle. Now... the year is bad, and my uncle refuses to give me food and drives me out. I lost this eye when a wicked person in the village hit me with a stone while I was working."

The little beggar spoke with real emotion, and tears ran down the corners of his eyes, leaving two dirty black marks.

Everyone present, except Aunt Su, felt great sympathy.

Aunt Su waved her hand and asked someone to bring tea and snacks to the little beggar.

"You haven't eaten enough today, come on, eat and drink enough first, then we can talk."

The tea was the finest fragrant tea brought by Aunt Su and her group.

The dim sum was brought from the capital. Although the weather was hot, the dim sum had crispy crust and dry filling and could be kept for three to five days.

The little beggar had been begging outside these days, and the best he could get was a black-faced steamed bun. He had never seen such exquisite food. He swallowed the whole plate of snacks in just a few mouthfuls. He almost choked, so he quickly took a few big gulps of tea.

After eating and drinking, the little beggar's expression changed, and he spoke as if he had made up his mind.

"Thank you for the good food and tea, old lady. I have nothing to repay you, but I have a big news to tell you!"

When he said this, everyone except Aunt Su couldn't help but laugh inwardly.

What big news could this little beggar have?

Can it also be used to repay the old lady?

I didn't expect that this little beggar was such a boaster.

Aunt Su glanced at everyone in the room and waved her hand, "All of you, go out."

When the little beggar saw that the wealthy-looking old lady was the only one left in the room, he knelt down in front of Aunt Su.

"Madam, even though my uncle kicked me out of the house, I wouldn't have come so far to escape the famine if it hadn't been for the disaster!"

Aunt Su's eyelids twitched. "What disaster happened over there?"

Is it really a locust plague?

The little beggar looked frightened.

"Madam, our village is suffering from drought this year. We relied on everyone to carry water to irrigate the seedlings. We finally managed to save the crops. Now that we are almost ready to harvest, locusts flew in from nowhere and ate up all the crops in the fields!"

Although his uncle treated him harshly, he could always build a shack in the mountains, get some wild vegetables, and go to the homes of his relatives to help with some work. They would give him some stale rice and bean dregs, so he could still make a living.

But the locusts covered the sky and not only ate the crops, but also ate up all the wild vegetables in the fields.

Those who have food stored at home can still hold on for a few more days, but he is penniless and has no home. Is he just waiting to die if he doesn't run away?

So he was the first person in their village who thought of running away.

After he ran out, we realized that he had run away so early, which was the smartest thing he could do.

Because, not only were the crops in their village eaten up by locusts, but also the neighboring villages, the neighboring villages of the neighboring villages, and almost the entire county were hit by the locust plague!

Although he was young, he had heard from the elders in the village about the tragic scene during the disaster year.

It is said that Yueyang County suffered a locust plague the year before he was born.

The locust plague ate up all the crops, and there was no harvest that year.

The poor people whose families depend on these grains for their survival will soon be unable to survive.

After all, they had already owed the famine when there was a shortage of food, and were just waiting to repay it when the new grain was harvested!

What should he do when these poor people, plus poor people like him who have no money, are about to starve to death?

One way is to escape the famine.

Another way is to steal or rob.

But how could those families who have food allow their life-saving food to be stolen?

With the law of the jungle and the struggle for life and death, the whole county will be in chaos in just a few days.

In that situation, it would be difficult for someone like him who couldn't fight to escape safely.

The little beggar was thankful in his heart that he could make a living by begging in Shanzhi County.

He acted quickly. There weren't many people like him who escaped from their hometown to beg for food. Yamazhi County was rich in resources, and even the people in the village could have enough food to eat.

Therefore, the little beggar could get something almost every day, and the food he had was actually better than what he had in his hometown.

The little beggar was very grateful, so when an old man gave him a burnt cake, he told him his story.

He also talked about the disaster that happened in Yueyang County.

The old man's face changed when he heard this.

Not only did he snatch the cake back, he also picked up a stick and chased him for two miles!

He was still cursing, saying that he was the god of plague, and told him to stay away from the old man's village, and that he would break his legs if he dared to come again!

After learning this lesson, the little beggar never dared to say anything again.

However, he found that more and more people like him were coming from Yueyang County to Shanzhi County to beg for food. He felt a little uneasy and worried that if the locusts had finished eating Yueyang County, they might come to Shanzhi County.

So he begged for food along the way and came to Liudian County, east of Shanzhi County.

Before he entered Liudian County, Shanzhi County was indeed hit by a locust plague.

He was so scared that he ran to Liudian County in a hurry.

This time he was afraid of being beaten again, so when he begged for food, he kept his mouth shut and didn't dare to mention the locusts at all.

However, he did not have a peaceful few days begging for food in Liudian County. Within five days, a locust plague came!

Look, he is here in Caodian Town again.

Now he felt that the locusts were chasing him.

I’m afraid that Caodian Town won’t be peaceful for a few more days.

Therefore, although he got a few kinds of food, he only took a bite or two and hid the rest to be used as dry food for the future.

After all, if an entire province or several provinces were hit by a disaster, where could one go to beg for food?

Of course, you should save as much as you can.

Originally he was planning not to tell anyone, but then he met this old lady, who not only saved him but also gave him good tea and snacks, which he had never tasted since he was born.

He thought, the old lady seemed to be in a hurry, what if she was going to the three counties that had been hit by the disaster?

Of course he had to repay the favor and tell the old lady that those places were dangerous.
