So what if you flee from famine? Start all over again and live a good life every day

"Boss Chen, are you really determined not to take Erya with you? After all, she is your daughter."

In Chenjiawan, in front of a dilapidated thatched house, an old woman stopped a middle-aged man carrying a load.

The middle-aged man was dressed in coarse linen clothes, with a beard and traces of time on his face. He looked like a typical farmer.

The middle-aged man looked at the old woman who was stopping him, looking embarrassed. Then he looked at the old man who was sitting by the door repairing his backpack and ignoring him.

They had no choice but to put down the burden on their shoulders, which carried all their belongings.

Although it was all his property, it was not that much. There was only a small bag of millet and a few steamed buns with vegetables. In those days, no one was rich, and the natural disaster had also

"Aunt, it's not that I don't want to take Erya with me. You can see that it's hard to support yourself in this world. Erya is stupid, and she rolled down from such a high cliff. Sigh..."

After a pause, he carefully glanced at Master Chen who was sitting next to him. Seeing that Master Chen was still busy with his work and didn't say anything, he spoke again.

"We've been so tired from the journey that we can't even take care of ourselves, let alone her. If something happens along the way, it would be better to leave her here. After all, this is her home."

"But if you leave her here, isn't that killing her?"

"Hey, his second aunt, we can only blame her bad luck. We can't do anything about it. If we can still make ends meet, who would be willing to abandon their own child?"

At this time, the woman who had been following the man spoke up. She was also dressed in dust, with her hair tied up with a rag and holding a child in her arms.

There was a little girl next to him. She looked about eight or nine years old, with a pale face and skinny body, and she looked malnourished.

At this time, he was looking down at the toe of his shoe, without saying a word, holding tightly to the corner of his mother's clothes.

"Arya is not stupid, she is just..."

"Old woman, stop talking, let them go." Aunt Chen wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Master Chen who was working nearby.

The seemingly calm Chen Erye was pulling the bamboo stick in his hand hard, and the bamboo stick made a crackling sound.

"Hey, go...just go, don't regret it in the future." After hearing what the head of the family said, Aunt Chen looked at him silently, said nothing more, waved her hand, sent the couple away, and turned to walk into the house.

"Second aunt.....Hey"

Boss Chen wanted to say something, but he looked at the person who walked into the room, then looked at the second master who was busy at work at the door and ignored them, then he picked up the burden.

He glanced sideways at his wife, who was beside him, and the two children on his wife's back. He looked at the dirt under his feet, sighed, weighed the burden on his shoulders, turned to his wife, said something, and then they left.

They had to catch up with the other people in the village. After all, they were from the same village. If they walked together, they would have someone to look after them on the way.

"Second sister..." The little girl holding her mother's clothes whispered softly, turned her head to look at the thatched house, slowed down her pace, felt the pull of the clothes in her hand, came to her senses, retracted her gaze, and followed her parents.

The second aunt standing at the door listened to the footsteps going away, shook her head helplessly, walked into the inner room, and looked at the little girl lying on the bed.

"Erya, don't blame your parents for being cruel. They also have their own difficulties. This... Hey"

Looking at the pale little girl lying on the bed, I wanted to say something, but in the end, all I could say was a sigh.

He cleaned the wound on the little girl's forehead, straightened the quilt, and walked out.

She didn't see that when she turned her head, a tear slid down the corner of the little girl's eye and fell into the pillow under her.

The second aunt came out and took a small stool to sit next to the head of the family, helping to clean the bamboo strips at his feet.

"Don't worry, old lady. We still have some food stored at home. I'll go to the mountain in a few days to see if I can find anything. If not, I can find some in the cellar..."

Put down the work in your hands and look at the fields not far away

In the past, at this time, the fields on both sides of the river were already planted with various crops, and most of the young people in the village were busy in the fields, working hard to strive for a good harvest in the autumn. But now...

It hasn't rained for two years. The fields are now covered with huge cracks. They are so dry that they can't get any drier.

The riverbed had long been exposed, the wells in the village had long been dry, and the nearby hilltops were covered with dry trees.

Although he said he was going up the mountain, he knew that there was nothing to eat on the mountain. The food had already been taken away by the villagers. He could only try his luck in deeper places, but experienced hunters in those places did not dare to enter.

"But those are grain seeds. What will we do if we eat them?" When Aunt Chen heard that her boss was planning to take the grain seeds from the cellar, her face changed and she hurriedly tried to dissuade him.

Grain seeds are the last bottom line for farmers. Once they are moved, it means that the future is cut off. Besides, there are not many grain seeds.

"Let's save the people first, and as for the future... let's talk about the future later. There will be a way in the future. Those literati always say things like boats and bridges. Isn't it that there will be a way to solve the future when things come?

Don't worry too much, I'll take care of everything."

"How is Arya? Hasn't she woken up yet? She has committed a serious crime this time."

"Not yet. We can't even afford food these days, so where can we get medicine for her? We can only rely on ourselves. If we can get through it, we'll be fine. If not, we can only leave it to fate."

"This Boss Chen is so cruel. It would be fine if he thought we were a burden and didn't take us with him, but he just abandoned his own daughter. Where in the world are there parents like this? I should have never cared about them in the first place."

Master Chen took over her words: "Why are you digging up these trivial things now? You know that they have never taken care of Erya since she was born. Isn't it because of the help of neighbors that she has grown up so big?"

Master Chen put down the bamboo stick in his hand, thought for a moment, and spoke as if he had made up his mind.

"If Arya can survive this time, we will raise her as our own granddaughter. After all, we are related. We have never had a son or daughter in this life, so at least there will be someone to collect our bodies when we are old."

Hearing what her old man said, Second Aunt pursed her lips into a line and said nothing. What else was there to say? She sighed, quickly put away the bamboo sticks in her hand, stood up, and shook off the hair on her body.

He took the backpack from the second master and casually placed it at the door. He was not afraid of it being stolen. However, during this period of time, the capable people in the village had already left. In such a large village, there were not many people left.

It's not that they don't want to go, it's just that they have no children, who would be willing to take them along? They don't want to beg others for mercy.

Instead of looking at other people's faces, it is better to guard their own little world. After all, they have lived long enough.
