The setting sun was like blood, sprinkling on the ancient and dilapidated temple, adding an unusual warmth to this lonely place.

Su Jinru sat on the stone steps in front of the temple gate, moved quietly, took out some biscuits from the space, and ate them carefully.

I ate a little bit, not daring to eat more for fear that others would notice, and then cleaned up the cookie crumbs.

Now in this war-torn time, food is more important than human life. If others knew that a ten-year-old girl had food.

Then both she and her brother would be in danger. For her own sake and her brother's, she must be careful and cautious.

My eyes passed through the sparse trees and looked at the winding path in the distance, my heart filled with anticipation and anxiety.

This dilapidated temple is where she, her brother and a dozen other people from the same village rest now. After days of fleeing, they have almost run out of food, but the brother and sister have never given up hope.

Jinru knew that as long as her brother came back, they would be able to find a new way out, continue to move forward, and seek refuge in the legendary peaceful place - the Hidden Cloud Village.

In the memory of the person who made the wish, she only lived to the age of fifteen, and her brother died when she was thirteen. If her brother had not died, I think her life would not have been so difficult and she would not have died in the end.

They never reached the Hidden Cloud Village until their death, and no one knew whether this was true or false.

The Hidden Cloud Village is a paradise hidden in the mountains. It is said that there is no war or hunger there, and people live and work in peace and contentment, leading a peaceful life.

This is a story that Su Jinru and her friends heard from an old beggar. It was like a bright light, illuminating the darkness in the hearts of the brother and sister, and became the motivation for them to persevere.

Time passed minute by minute, night gradually fell, and the chirping of insects could be heard all around. My brother and my uncles and aunts who had gone out to look for food had not returned yet.

Jinru couldn't help feeling a little anxious, but when she thought about the fact that when the original owner was around, her brother, uncle, and aunt only came back at night, she felt relieved.

"007, do you think the Hidden Cloud Village really exists? Why couldn't the original owner and her brother find it after searching for several years?" Su Jinru asked.

"Of course it exists, but these two siblings went in the wrong direction." 007 replied.

"How long will it take, and in which direction?"

"Keep going north and I'll tell you." said 007.

Su Jinru thought, 007 is so powerful, he must know a lot about this dimension.

She felt relieved. She wanted to make sure her brother was safe, well-fed and warmly clothed. As long as they found the Hidden Cloud Village, everything would be fine.

Su Jinru was waiting, and Aunt Wang in the temple was also getting anxious. It was already dark, and the people who had gone out had not returned yet.

"Jinru, your brother and the others haven't come back yet? I hope nothing has happened to them at this late hour!" Aunt Wang said anxiously.

"Aunt Wang, don't worry. I will tell you when my brother and the others come back. You should have a good rest now. I believe they will come back safely." Su Jinru said.

Just when Jinru was about to give up hope and prepare to go into the temple to spend the night, a familiar figure finally appeared on the path in the distance.

It was her brother, carrying a small bag on his back. Although he walked with fatigue, his eyes gleamed with determination. Jinru immediately stood up and excitedly went to meet him.

"Brother, you're back! Where are my uncle and aunt?" There was a hint of sob in Jinru's voice, tears of joy and grievance.

Because she was an orphan before, and now has the original owner's memories, she really regards this brother as her own brother. She also has relatives.

Su Jincheng smiled and nodded, gently patting his sister's shoulder: "Jinru, don't worry, uncle and aunt are following behind. We have found a small road leading to Yunyin Village. Although the road is long and dangerous, as long as we work together, we will definitely get there."

The brother and sister sat down by the fire in the temple and waited for a while, and then their uncle and aunt returned to the temple.

Everyone is having fun together.

"Jincheng, when do you think we should leave?" Uncle Liu asked. The surroundings fell silent, waiting for Jincheng to speak.

"Uncle Liu, I plan to leave early tomorrow morning. The world is too chaotic now, so it's better to arrive early." Su Jincheng said.

"Okay, everyone have a good rest tonight and leave early tomorrow morning." Uncle Liu said to everyone.

Everyone sat separately and ate the dry food they brought back from outside.

Su Jincheng took out some dry food from his bag and shared it with the two of them. In the firelight, their faces looked particularly resolute and warm.

As Jinru listened to her brother talk about what he saw and heard on the road, her heart was filled with longing for the future.

"Brother, do you think the Hidden Cloud Village is really as beautiful as the legend says?" Jinru asked softly.

"I believe so, Jinru. As long as we have hope in our hearts and face all difficulties bravely, we will find our own peaceful place one day." Su Jincheng's words were full of power.

That night, the brother and sister slept in each other's arms in the dilapidated temple. In their dreams, they seemed to be in the beautiful scenery of the Hidden Cloud Village.

There are clear streams, lush trees, and kind and honest villagers...

The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the clouds and shone into the dilapidated temple, everyone had packed up and prepared to embark on a new journey.

They know that the road ahead is still long, but as long as there is light in their hearts, hope will never be extinguished.

"Let's go, Jinru, let's go to the Hidden Cloud Village together and start a new life." Su Jincheng took his sister's hand, and more than a dozen of them set out on the journey to the Hidden Cloud Village.

From afar, we saw a group of more than ten people, young and old, young and strong, some supporting each other or carrying their belongings, walking towards their ideal village.

The group set out in the morning and kept walking, but they couldn't get far because there were still wounded. It was autumn, but the midday sun was still very strong.

There are people who have left their homes everywhere. No one knows when the war will end. There is no smile on anyone's face, only compromise and hopelessness towards life.

"Everyone, take a break, look for a water source nearby, and fill some water in your kettle," said Su Jincheng.

"Jinru, drink some water." Su Jincheng took the kettle and gave it to his sister.

"Thank you, brother. I'll drink too."

"The old and the young should take a rest, and the young and strong should go to the mountain to see if there is anything to eat and drink." Uncle Wang said.

"Jinru, wait here. I'll go up the mountain with them to take a look."

"Brother, you have to be careful." Su Jinru said.

"007, how long will it take to get to the Hidden Cloud Village? I'm so tired. I've been walking all the time. In just half a day, I already have blisters on my feet. If I keep walking, my feet will be broken." Su Jinru complained.

"Host, we're almost there. At our current speed, we'll be there in fifteen days if we keep going north." 007 said. He knew the host was tired, after all, he looked like a ten-year-old child.

"Ah, there's still so much time left. If we take the wrong route, you must tell me." Su Jinru knew there was no other way and could only take it slowly.

"Ah, look what this is?" Suddenly a surprised voice was heard in the distance.

"What could it be? Judging from the sound, it should be a good thing." Su Jinru thought.

"What could it be? Oh, that kid is making so much noise."

"Yes, yes, but you don't explain it clearly."

Everyone was talking at once, all very curious.
