Crossing the famine, relying on a spiritual spring to support the entire village

Just before departure

The gates of Beilin City were wide open, and the crowd began to stir, rushing towards the gate.

Su Nian'an was surprised. Was the city gate open to receive refugees? His eyes were fixed on the slowly opening city gate.

But the ending disappointed them. The city gate opened and only a graceful old woman and two strong men came out.

The dead eyes of the refugees on the city wall were shining like stars when the city gate opened, but they dimmed again after seeing the three people.

Su Nian'an was puzzled. Who were these people?

"Come, as usual, register if you want to come, women under 30 can exchange for 16 wen of food, and those under can exchange for liang of food," said the woman in a charming and sexy voice.

"Husband, don't sell Jing'er, she is your biological daughter. Don't sell her. I will do anything for you." A young woman knelt in front of a man, holding a little girl tightly in her arms, raising a desperate and sad face, with tears all over her face, begging the man humbly.

"Dad, don't sell Jing'er, don't sell Jing'er, Jing'er doesn't want to eat, Jing'er doesn't need to eat." The little girl in the young woman's arms also pulled the man's calf pitifully.

"Let go. It's a waste of food to keep a worthless person around. There's food and drink over there. You're such a fool. If Jing'er goes, it'll be good for us too." The man looked cold and pulled his daughter's arm, but the woman held the girl tightly.

There were already several women standing behind the old woman, some were other people's wives, some were daughters, and there was even a two or three-year-old child, crying out at the top of her lungs.

The people around watched all this happen with expressionless faces. The woman who collected girls came once every seven days.

At first, no one wanted to sell. As the hunger lasted longer, they began to sell their wives and daughters.

"Are these people still human? They sell their wives and daughters to make a living." Wang felt a pain in her heart when she heard the girl's cry. She was so angry that her chest heaved.

Su Nian'an didn't respond. She clenched her hands tightly and bit her lower lip, trying not to step forward and curse those people who trafficked in human beings.

No trade, no harm. Close your eyes and take a deep breath.

"Let's go." She was unable to help these poor people, and she was also in trouble.

She had never thought that she would see others selling their wives and daughters with her own eyes. In her peaceful times, parents would be extremely worried if their children were missing for even a short while.

The people of Sujia Village set out on the road to escape famine again. Their mood when they came was completely different from their mood when they left.

They had only been fleeing famine for half a month when they found water and wild fruits on the road.

The people under the city wall seemed to have come from farther away. I don't know what they went through on their way to escape the famine.

They were all in a state of decadence and listlessness, without any vitality, and without even the motivation to find food. They were just waiting for the city gate to open again to save them.

Su Nian'an looked at these refugees who had no food to eat and looked lifeless, and she couldn't help feeling sour in her heart. She didn't know if she was in the same situation as them without space.

The water in her space is enough for everyone to drink, but unfortunately she can't take it out. Even if she is not burned as a monster, it will bring danger to herself and her family.

She is not a good person, she is just an ordinary person

Hold back your compassion and never look back

Su Shuitian got on the mule cart neatly and let his nephew and son lead the way. He was very comfortable and no longer in the embarrassment of fleeing famine. Although his clothes were covered with dust, they were much better than Su Nian'an's ragged clothes.

No one spoke for a whole day. The miserable situation of the refugees in Beilin City made them unable to recover for a long time.

Because they don't know how long they can hold out, whether they can make it to the relief area and survive until the disaster is over.

Everyone was hurrying along with their cracked lips. They started eating one apple per meal, but now they eat one apple per day.

The journey became longer, and their consumption became greater. If they did not find new food along the way, they would never see the land of rain again.

Now they walked along the official road instead of taking a detour. They found that the grass on the road had been stripped clean, not even the bark or leaves were left. No wonder the refugees in Beilin City no longer moved around.

There is still hope for Beilin City if we stay here, but going back is really a dead end, there is no water or food, and the weather is so hot.

Su Nian'an was in an even heavier mood. She had to plant the potato seedlings during the day, hoping that they would bear fruit before she ran out of ammunition and food.

Soon it was dark, and they found a deserted village near the official road. There was no one inside, and there was nothing in the house. The pots, pans, clothes, and bedding were all gone.

Su Nian'an was surprised to find that a farmer had left behind some farm tools, including a hoe and two sickles. He put them into the space with a thought.

She was worried about how to dig the potatoes that night, and was wondering if the axe could dig the ground. God was really kind to her.

The team found a random house to stay in. They hadn't slept in a bed for a long time. Although there was no mattress, the bedding was the most comfortable they had slept in for half a month.

Su Nian'an and the others slept in the farmer's house with farm tools. After Wang and Xiao Ni fell asleep, they slipped into the space

Su Nian'an looked at the green grass and was full of energy. He first cultivated a part of it and planted potatoes, sea buckthorn trees and apple trees. He would cultivate a little more every day and then find a way to get some seeds.

Su Nian'an hoes the ground, loosens the soil, digs holes, plants, and waters the plants in an orderly manner.

When she lived with her grandmother, she was self-sufficient and grew some fruits and vegetables. Su Nian'an learned from her and also knew how to grow vegetables.

Su Nian'an also planted some sweet potatoes, but those sweet potatoes were shriveled and I don't know if they can still bear fruit.

After everything was done, Su Nian'an was sweating profusely and her clothes were soaked again. Now she could take a shower.

Su Nian'an quickly took off her clothes and dove directly into the spiritual spring. She felt indescribably comfortable as soon as she entered the spiritual spring. Her fatigue disappeared a lot at once, and she felt refreshed.

After taking a shower, Su Nian'an washed her underwear, but she didn't wash her outer clothes, fearing that she would be discovered.

When Su Nian'an came out of the space, it was already dawn. He decided not to sleep and went out to see if there was anything he could take in the empty house.

Su Nian'an found a few more hoes and sickles, and this time he also found some empty barrels, empty pottery jars, and empty cans. There were also some miscellaneous wires, hemp ropes, and so on, which Su Nian'an put into his space in case they were useful.

When Su Nian'an came back, everyone woke up and started on their way again.

When they walked back to the place where they met the bandits, Su Ergou had run out of apples and was out of food. There were also several families who were out of food like Su Ergou.

Su Nian'an could transfer some water under the guidance of Zuoyouyou, but food was really hard to find. When he came here, he could still see grass on the roadside. Now, let alone grass, even the bark of the trees has been stripped clean.
