Escape from famine: Daddy stands up, Dali girl lies down

Daqi Kingdom, the 30th year of Emperor Yuanqing’s reign, summer.

Linjia Village at the foot of Daqing Mountain.

Insects chirp in the summer night and the mountain breeze blows gently.

The snoring sounds from all over the village interweave with the chirping of insects in the fields to form a unique summer night song.

"Quack, quack, quack."

"Cricket~Cricket~"

"Hulu~Woo~"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Pah~pah~pah~"

With the moonlight pouring into the shabby house, Lin Shu stared at the stinky man in front of her who looked like a refugee.

She rubbed her numb palms and glanced at her current situation in the moonlight.

The small and cramped house was leaking air everywhere, and several rough snoring sounds of varying degrees could be heard one after another.

Lin Shu closed her eyes in disbelief. When she opened them again, nothing had changed. She looked as limp as a puffer fish.

In the darkness, a pair of dim eyes stared at the sloppy and smelly man.

If it weren't for him, she wouldn't be here.

It's all this stinky man's fault. He can't protect his wife and children, and he wants to drag her into hell.

Lin Shu showed her sharp little milk teeth, hatred boiling in her heart, and she wished she could bite this stinky man to death.

Lin Shu did it as she thought. She opened her mouth and bit the stinky man's arm hard.

Unfortunately, the desired result was not achieved, and two baby teeth were knocked out.

Lin Shu really wanted to cry but had no tears, so she opened her mouth and howled loudly.

"Wow~ bad guy~ bad guy~ wow..."

The cry was mournful and helpless, like a little animal abandoned in the wilderness by its tribe, unable to find its way home.

...

The man on the kang suddenly opened his scarlet eyes, and when he saw clearly in the moonlight who had hit him, he grabbed the person in his arms.

"Oh~Shu'er!

It's all Daddy's fault. Daddy is sorry for you!"

The rough man howled, and Lin Shu, whose palms were numb, trembled with fear.

I covered my mouth and struggled desperately, what the hell was this?

She just wanted to stay as far away from this foolish and filial man as possible.

Lin Shu knew even more clearly that with her current strength, she could not defeat this stinky man.

Starting your own business is even more impossible.

...

The little ball fell into a sour embrace, almost suffocating her.

Lin Shu felt dizzy, her eyes rolled back, her hands and feet kicked around, and she screamed in fear.

"Help! There are bad guys!"

The man hugged his lost and found daughter tightly, and he would never listen to what the little girl said.

He held his daughter in his arms, rocking her from side to side like a cradle, crying and laughing like a madman with his mouth wide open.

"Haha, Shu'er is still alive.

Daddy bought Shuer flowery clothes and helped Shuer fight the bad guys, so that bad guys would never bully Shuer again.

Shu'er, don't abandon your father..."

...

"嚓~"

The dim tung oil lamp lit up, bringing some light to the darkness.

Wu, who was awakened, held up a tung oil lamp and surrounded the father and daughter with her four sons.

"Dad, let my sister go. She's rolling her eyes." The eldest brother Lin Hongyi shouted anxiously when he saw something was wrong.

He hurriedly snatched his sister from his father's arms, rushed to the door and opened the broken wooden door.

A cool breeze blew, and Lin Shu, who was having difficulty breathing, finally opened her mouth to catch her breath.

"Brother, he is a bad guy, beat him up!" Lin Shu laid on the boy's shoulder, sobbing and accusing him.

Lin Shu learned from the original owner's memories and books that her parents and four brothers doted on her the most, especially her eldest brother.

But none of my mother and four brothers had a good ending while fleeing famine.

And all this is related to the stinky man's foolish filial piety. Even Lin Shu, an outsider, can't accept it, not to mention that now she has the original owner's memories.

...

Lin Erzhuang, who was in a dream, felt like he was struck by lightning when he heard his daughter's words.

Thinking of everything that happened in the dream, could it be that my daughter...

Thinking of this, Lin Erzhuang felt more guilty and sad.

The pools of blood of his loved ones almost drove him crazy, but he couldn't find a way to vent his anger.

It was Shu'er's blood that made him face the reality, but it was too late.

Lin Erzhuang moved over with his hands and feet together, squatted in front of his daughter and spoke carefully.

"Shu'er, Daddy will change.

I will never let you suffer any injustice again. Daddy will listen to you in everything.

Wuuuu… It’s all daddy’s fault. You’ve suffered so much.

If Daddy does something wrong, Shu'er can beat and scold him, but don't chase him away..."

The whole family was stunned and dared not move at all, because the father and daughter in front of them were so unfamiliar to them.

...

"Why are you howling in the middle of the night? You are a bunch of damned creatures. Go fetch water to water the fields..."

The sharp shouting and cursing from the front yard woke up Lin Erzhuang, who was crying with his head in his hands.

He curled the corners of his mouth, revealing a hint of sarcasm and indifference.

Ever since he could remember, he had been the owner of this voice, which had exploited him to the point of his family being broken up.

It was all because of the difficult labor when he was born. This false accusation cost the lives of an entire family.

Did you get his consent when you gave birth to him?

The reality of the dream made Lin Erzhuang extremely painful, and he wished he could chop those heartless things to pieces with a knife.

What blood relatives, they are a bunch of things worse than pigs and dogs.

They drank the blood of his family, ate their flesh, and even complained about the fishy taste. Who gave them the courage?

In the dream, Lin Erzhuang could only watch what happened.

But he was powerless until he was awakened by a slap from the little girl.

In the darkness, the cloudy eyes gradually became clear and firm.

"Gululu~"

"Gululu~"

……

Inside the broken thatched hut, several cries of hunger were heard simultaneously.

The bowl of wild vegetable porridge in the evening that was so big that you could see your reflection in it was already gone after two pees.

"Hungry~" Lin Shu said weakly.

She wanted to see how far this man could go for his family.

Thinking of his farm, his big almond-shaped eyes suddenly dimmed and the hunger in his stomach became even worse.

"Wait for it, Shu'er. Dad will get you something to eat.

Shu'er's mother, hurry up and pack up and go out and wait for me."

Lin Erzhuang wiped his face and gave instructions in a low voice.

When the family heard Lin Erzhuang's words, they couldn't help but look at the spacious front yard and then at their own low and dilapidated house.

Lin Hongyi placed Lin Shu in the backpack, carefully covered her with a tattered jacket, touched her dry and sparse hair, and whispered.

"Don't be afraid, little sister. If you feel sleepy, just take a nap. I'll catch a pheasant and roast it for you."

"Little sister, and second brother."

"Little sister, and third brother."

"And the fourth brother."

Lin Shu, sitting in the backpack, looked at the four skinny boys and nodded with sore eyes.

"Let's eat together!"

"Okay, let's eat together!"

The four brothers nodded happily after receiving the response.

The twins even jumped a few times to express their good mood.

[My little sister shared food with them, so happy! ]

...

The bright moonlight fell, and bursts of snoring, grinding of teeth, farting and creaking sounds came from the front yard.

A fresh night breeze blew by, bringing with it a smell of pig manure.

Lin Shu took one look at the two half-grown piglets in the pigsty and couldn't help swallowing.

She curled up in the backpack, staring at the piglets getting farther and farther away with green eyes, muttering.

"Brother, I want to eat meat!"

Lin Hongyi reached out and patted the backpack, whispering.

"Little sister, take a nap and you'll have meat to eat when you wake up."

Lin Shu nodded silently, her consciousness entered the space farm, and tears fell.

Lin Erzhuang, who had caught up, couldn't help but have tears in his eyes when he heard this.

His daughter, who was six years old, couldn't walk steadily, all because of hunger.

But as a father, he never thought of taking Shuer to see a doctor.

Lin Erzhuang turned his head and stared at the yard in front of him. Some accounts would be settled slowly.

...

Daqingshan.

Behind a large rock, a bonfire was burning, and the heat and smoke drove away the buzzing mosquitoes.

In the light of the fire, Lin Shu discovered that the whole family was wearing heavily patched coarse cloth clothes.

The original coarse cloth has lost its original color, and it is fully capable of serving as the Eight-Bag Elder of the Beggars' Sect.

His face was haggard, his body was emaciated, his hair was messy and dry like grass, and he didn't even have a complete pair of straw sandals on his feet.

Lin Shu stretched out her black chicken claws and knew what she looked like without even thinking about it.

Those who call themselves little beauties, burst into tears...

...

In the light of the fire, there were seven faces covered in sweat.

Seven pairs of eyes were fixed on the old hen dripping with oil on the fire, and their lips moved with the dripping oil.

The twins stuck out their long tongues as if to catch the dripping oil.

When Lin Shu got two chicken legs, she was so hungry that she didn't care about the hotness of her mouth or being polite.

"Ah~ Woo~" After taking a bite, his eyes were instantly filled with tears, but the pain was replaced by the aroma of meat.

She glanced at the Lin family members sitting around the fire, all gnawing on bones voraciously.

Lin Erzhuang and Wu each sucked a chicken claw, lowered their heads and let their tears fall, feeling deeply remorseful.

A chicken was shared by seven people, which just aroused their appetite. Even the bones were chewed and swallowed.

The whole family sucked their fingers and looked at Lin Erzhuang eagerly, and only the sound of swallowing saliva could be heard.

"Eldest brother and second brother, go find something to eat with daddy." Lin Erzhuang stood up and said while looking at the Daqing Mountain in the dark night.

For a hunter, it is not difficult to find food in Daqing Mountain.

The irony is that all the food went into other people's stomachs.

Lin Erzhuang pinched his thigh hard and led his two sons into the darkness.
