Sui He woke up at daybreak, stared at the ceiling with his eyes open, and it took him a long time to come to his senses.

Her stomach growled at this time, but it was not time to eat yet. Even after several days, she still wasn't used to having two meals a day.

Think about the past, no matter how busy I was, I would eat three meals a day on time, and sometimes I would also have a midnight snack.

Ah, she wanted to eat soy milk and fried dough sticks, rice noodles, steamed dumplings, and barbecue... No, she couldn't think about it anymore, it would make her even hungrier.

What a sin

He swallowed his saliva to moisten his dry throat, sighed, and covered his eyes with his hands. Everything in front of him was dark, and his head was dizzy.

She narrowed her eyes and looked at the door. There was no movement, so she entered the space. She couldn't spend the night in the space. She was afraid that if she didn't pay attention and didn't come out in time, what would happen if the second grandmother and the others found that she was not in the room? She didn't want them to worry.

After washing up and eating something in the space, I came to the open space in the space.

I found that the things I planted yesterday have sprouted today. It seems that the flow rate in space is different from that in the outside world. Time in space passes faster.

Seeing how fast it grows, it won't be long before the sweet potatoes can be transplanted with sweet potato vines, and soon she will have delicious sweet potatoes to eat.

In the past, sweet potatoes and potatoes were not introduced to China until the Ming Dynasty. At that time, people basically ate yellow rice and high grain. Rice was available, but because of its low yield and limited planting technology, only wealthy families could afford to eat it.

The farmers grow rice and take it to the market to exchange for coarse grains. They don't even want to eat a bite themselves.

Fortunately, she now has high-yield crops in her hands. When these crops are ripe, they will not starve.

Sui He became happier the more she thought about it, as if she could already smell the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes. She turned around in the space and saw that all kinds of vegetables and fruits were growing well, which made her feel more at ease.

Sui He strolled around the space for a while, then left, opened the door, and found Second Grandma and the others busy tidying up things in the yard.

"Second Madam, what are you doing?" Sui He walked forward in confusion.

"Sui Sui, you're up now." Second Grandma put the cloth bag in her hand into the backpack, took out a palm-sized cake from the bag and handed it to Sui He.

"You must be hungry. Eat quickly. After you finish eating, clean up your room and take all your valuables with you. We are getting ready to leave this place."

"?? Second Grandma, where are we going?" How come the weather changed when she woke up? What happened?

"The well at the entrance of the village has stopped producing water this morning. This is not a solution. We will either starve to death or die of thirst. It was just your second grandfather and I before. We have lived enough anyway. It doesn't matter where we die." The second grandmother wiped the corners of her eyes.

"You were so badly injured at the beginning, I thought you would accompany us. Fortunately, God has eyes, you not only survived, but also survived. There will be good fortune after surviving a disaster. I discussed it with your second grandfather,

This is not a solution. As the old saying goes, if you don’t move a tree, it will die; if you move a person, he will live. We are leaving too, and we will take you away from here.”

In fact, there was another reason why Second Grandma and the others decided to leave. As long as it didn't rain, the drought would not end. We couldn't grow crops on the land, and it would be terrible for people to have no food to eat.

I heard that some people were so hungry that they ate their own people. There was no one left in the village. If bandits came, these two old people would not be able to protect Suihe.

They have to leave here and go to a place where there is no disaster. If they meet other refugees, they can go together and take care of each other.

"Okay, I'll go and pack it up right away." Sui He ran into her room, holding a small multi-grain biscuit in her mouth. She knew that a big part of the reason why Second Grandma and the others decided to flee from famine was because of her.

The original owner was abandoned by her parents and thought she would disappear, but she met such an old couple who not only raised her, but also never gave up on her even when they knew she was seriously injured and in danger. She also wanted to have such a relationship.

So now that she has become who she is, she will cherish this relationship.

She didn't have much stuff, not even a lot of clothes, so she put the things she wanted to take on the bed, tied them up at the four corners, and packed them up. Then she put them in her special small backpack, which was just the right size to hold her full.

She tore off the cloth strip on her head and tied her hair into a boy's bun. Suihe was very thin, her skin was dark yellow, and her clothes were altered from clothes that her family members no longer wore. With this outfit, it was hard to tell her gender.

As if remembering something, he fumbled under the hay on the bed and took out five copper coins. He didn't know where the copper coins came from, but he just hid them under the bed sheet.

"Old lady, I'm back. Have you packed your things?" Sui He was thinking about what else she needed to take away when she suddenly heard the sound of a door opening in the yard. Her heart tightened, she quickly put down the backpack in her hand, and ran out the door.

"The old man is back! How is the situation?" Second Grandma asked anxiously. She watched her old man walk into the yard, but there was no one behind him.

The second grandfather shook his head, his eyes revealing a trace of helplessness and sadness: "Everyone has his own destiny, and we can't force it. Hurry up and pack your things, we will leave here soon. Maybe after this departure, we don't know when we can return to this home again..."

When Second Grandma heard this, she felt a pang of sadness in her heart, but she still nodded, turned back into the house and continued to pack her luggage.

The second grandfather stood quietly in the yard, picked up the broom placed in the corner, and carefully swept the dead branches and leaves in the yard. He picked up the messy firewood and put them into the woodshed.

Although there were not many things to take away, they still managed to pack enough to fill two backpacks. Before daybreak, Second Grandma had already gotten up and started working.

She carefully mixed the various grain flours stored at home, and then skillfully spread them into small and exquisite pancakes.

Considering the long distance and inconvenient conditions, it may not be possible to make a fire and cook at any time, so it would be more convenient to eat and preserve the food if it was made into dry food.

In addition, "don't put all your eggs in one basket." To be on the safe side, she divided the limited food into three equal parts and carefully packed them into three backpacks.

In this way, even if one of the backpacks has an accident, there are still two others to use in an emergency so that everyone won't go hungry.

"Let's go." Seeing Sui He dressed like this, Second Grandpa didn't say anything, but looked at her in approval. When going out, it is better for men to dress conservatively.

She carried the largest basket on her back and walked out the door. She closed the room, walked to the gate, took out the only lock, and locked the gate tightly.

Although the hope of returning is slim, if the disaster ends one day, can they come back?

Sui He, the "Second Grandma", could see that she was not in a good mood, so he walked up to her and gently held her hand.

"Sui Sui, I'm fine, let's go." Second Grandma tightened Sui He's little hand, smiled comfortingly, and followed the second grandfather in front.
