Lin Yu's life of traveling through time

Natural disasters often coincided with man-made disasters. Historical records of dynasties breaking apart or on the brink of collapse revealed numerous natural disasters, often explained away by superstitious people as divine punishment. In reality, these disasters were caused by the state's inability to allocate resources, corrupt officials, and a lack of assistance for the victims. Famine and war were inseparable during these times.

Unfortunately, Lin Yu happened to be born into a fragmented dynasty. There were more than a dozen countries, large and small, in this land. Not only were there endless wars year after year, but productivity was completely unable to recover. Therefore, these so-called heroes began to fight everywhere under the banner of unification to rob food and resources.

But which of these powerful rulers really cared about the common people when disaster struck?

Lin Yu remembered a record in history books of a general asking about an epidemic among his troops. His men replied, "Only four or five out of ten men remain." The general's response was, "This is fate, beyond human intervention. Fortunately, there are people everywhere, so there's no need to worry about a shortage of civilians serving as conscripts." However, the epidemic killed or wounded as many as half the soldiers, let alone the civilians, who lacked medical care and medicine. The historical records don't record the plight of the civilian population, but they offer only a glimpse of the situation.

Lin Yu was in a heavy mood. In the ancient society, there were restrictions everywhere. Now that the famine was so serious, where could he go?

Sure enough, as the sky was about to brighten, Lin Yu heard a terrified and shrill scream coming from one of the caves.

Lin Yu and the two children went to the cave entrance and looked out.

I saw a woman rushing out of the cave, with a man so thin that his skeleton was exposed, pulling her weakly from behind.

"Liu Niang...don't go."

The woman named Liu Niang grabbed the man's collar and punched him with her fists, "How could you..."

The mother, with red eyes and resentment, lost her cub and screamed miserably: "You beast! How could you... exchange my child with someone else... I will beat you to death..."

The man allowed the woman to beat him. His skinny body could barely stand. He held his head and said helplessly: "I... I have no choice..."

The man stared numbly at the piece of raw meat in his hand. He pulled the corner of his mouth, revealing his blackened gums, and said, "Oh, what a damn world! If you weren't starving, who would be willing to give it up? Who can really eat it... Stone, don't blame Dad, don't blame Dad..."

Lin Yu covered the mouths of the two children, his eyes full of horror. He had witnessed cannibalism with his own eyes.

At the entrance of the nearest cave, four or five people had bloodshot mouths. One of them was an old man, looking expressionlessly at the fight between Liu Niang and her husband, then lowered his head and continued to chew on the thing in his hand.

For the first time, Lin Yu felt that his good eyesight was a sin. He covered the children's eyes and pushed them into the cave. He himself turned away, suppressing the churning in his stomach. He hadn't mistakenly seen that the old man was chewing on a hand, a child's hand.

Lin Yu was horrified for a moment, and his hands holding the two children were shaking.

The old man seemed to see Lin Yu, grinned, stretched out his hand in front of Lin Yu and said: "Are you hungry, kid? Eat something, you can survive by eating raw food."

But his gaze fell on the two children intentionally or unintentionally.

Lin Yu hugged the two children tightly, holding the machete and said coldly: "No need."

He turned around and ran out of the cave with his two children. The sun was shining brightly, so why was it so freezing cold?

He urgently needs to calm down. Are these people hateful and pathetic? They are more helpless!

"father!"

"father!"

The two children were also terrified and grabbed Lin Yu's clothes and trembled constantly.

Lin Yu looked into their eyes and knew what the two children were thinking.

"Don't worry, Dad won't trade you... I won't trade you for food."

Lin Yu calmed down and thought that there was nowhere to go in this world, and he couldn't just stay out of it. He made a decision to be a saint. No one here knew his origins, so it was Lin Yu's decision.

Lin Yu took the two children back to the entrance of the Mantou Mountain Cave. As soon as they arrived there, the living people looked at Lin Yu and the two children.

What people need most at this time is the comfort of faith. Lin Yu simply used the space projection to show himself in front of everyone and stunned them directly.

Lin Yu did nothing but sit cross-legged with the two children standing on both sides. Buddha's light shone all over his body, and he radiated an irresistible holy light.

He chanted the "Nirvana Mantra" in his mouth, and the Sanskrit sound drifted along with the spring breeze and reached the ears of everyone in every cave.

The old man who had been biting his hand seemed to regain his vitality for a moment, holding the gray hand and crying loudly.

Groups of three or four people came out, supporting each other, and knelt on the ground.

"Young Master, please read some scriptures to us too. We have committed many sins in this life!"

"Young Master, I heard that if you do evil, you will go to hell. I ate three people, and I even exchanged my child, wife, and my own mother for them. I am so unfilial! Please chant some sutras for my wife, child, and mother to pray for their salvation. I hope they will never have to face famine again. I... I feel so sorry for them."

"Young Master, please help my mother and father chant some sutras. They didn't enjoy happiness when they were alive, and were even eaten by others after they died. I hope they won't meet someone as cruel as me in their next life..."

Lin Yu's eyes were sore, he knew that these people were not really unforgivable, at least they had a conscience, it was just that people in troubled times were not human.

Lin Yu stood up and asked, "Who among you hasn't eaten a human?"

The old man sighed and said, "My child, who among us who survived hasn't eaten human flesh? Who among us hasn't stripped clothes from the dead and put them on ourselves? We all fled here as a family, and now we are the only ones left with such heartless hearts..."

Lin Yu sighed and raised his head to stop the tears from flowing.

"Everyone listen to me from now on, and I'll give you food, okay?"

"What did you say? Aren't you also a refugee?"

"You can't say that. Look at this little brother just now. A miracle happened to him."

"Yes, yes, yes. I heard our village chief say that this was some kind of divine manifestation. He must be a divine incarnation saving us in this form."

"That's right, that's right. Little Master, is there really anything to eat? Don't lie to us!"

"Yes, I am a god from heaven who has descended to earth to experience tribulations. I arrived here yesterday and saw you struggling to survive. Although I have incurred immense sins, I could not bear the pain and have revealed my true form today to save you. You and I are all mortal now, and we deeply understand the hardships faced by the people."

Regardless of whether it was true or not, the starving refugees believed it. They wanted to eat, to live, and to find a spiritual support to relieve their guilt. Lin Yu only needed to make himself appealing and didn't do much else.

"Wow, wow... Thank you! Thank you!"

Lin Yu led his men to an open space and pulled out a dozen baskets of steamed buns. He said, "I can provide a little food now that we are in trouble, but from now on you will have to fend for yourself."

After hearing this, the hungry people pounced on the steamed buns like hungry wolves. Those who were too weak would crawl to get their buns. The chewing sounds were so rustling that it gnawed at Lin Yu's nerves. He even gave the hungry people some water, fearing that they would choke to death if they ate too fast. Seeing someone choking and unable to breathe, Lin Yu hurried over to help them.

Watching them eat, Lin Yu wondered why there was no movement in Daliang City. Someone should come to check on the situation. If this group of hungry people were left here, it would be a problem sooner or later. I wonder what happened in Daliang City.
