Rebirth of an Old Farmer: Escape from Famine with Children and Grandchildren

Perhaps it is precisely because of this hidden secret that their family is able to survive better than other villagers.

This is not the time to ask questions. The most important thing is to keep your family safe.

The most obvious change is that she has become more caring towards her family members, especially her younger sister Yueyue and two sisters-in-law.

However, he was extremely strict with himself and his brothers, and they would be punished if they made mistakes.

He understood his mother's feelings. After all, in this turbulent era, every resource was extremely precious.

What is even more strange is that there is an endless supply of food at home.

Even though the little rations given by Jin Fudong's family should have been used up long ago, there is still some left.

Moreover, these whole grains have an excellent taste, are free of impurities and are delicious.

All this made him confused but curious.

However, now is not the best time to find out the truth, so he can only suppress his doubts temporarily.

Suppressing the doubts in her heart, Su Mingxiang held her sister's hand tightly and followed the team.

His eyes were always focused on the front, fearing that any mistake might lead to danger.

Before leaving, Bai Xiuqin arranged for Su Yaozong to drive the strong mule forward, and laid a thick blanket on it for her mother-in-law Zhang Xiuping to sit firmly.

Zhang Xiuping sat on a soft blanket, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar faces around her with gentle eyes.

At the same time, he ordered Tonghua to lead the strong black donkey to keep up.

Tonghua was a sensible child. After hearing the instructions, she immediately adjusted her position. Her daughter, who had recovered somewhat from the good nutrition she had received in recent days, followed the team and decided whether to ride or not.

"Everyone, hurry up, keep up, and watch the children. The faster you run, the safer you are."

Bai Xiuqin's words were like a warm spring breeze, blowing away the last trace of hesitation and fear in people's hearts.

Xue Bao, who was walking in front, was carrying two large packages on his back, which were filled with various daily necessities and precious food reserves, but he did not slow down at all and his pace was still very fast.

As the vanguard of the team, he must find a safe path for everyone behind him.

Xue Bao was looking for a ridge on a hillside. The road had a moderate slope and was flanked by trees and bushes, making it relatively easier to walk on.

Although the road is bumpy, this environment is not unfamiliar to them who have lived in the mountains for a long time.

More importantly, you can find temporary shelters along the way.

Following closely behind was Zhang Deshui's family, followed by Bai Xiuqin and Xue Lao Hu who was the last one to come.

As one of the most experienced hunters in the village, he said he would stay at the end of the team and help anyone who fell behind.

"Just charge forward without worry, I'm right behind you!"

Xue Lao Hu's firm words brought great comfort to many nervous hearts.

At this time, the rumbling sound became louder and louder.

Xue Bao, who was running in front, saw the mountain torrent from afar. It was like an unstoppable beast, rushing out of the valley.

The rolling mud and water mixed with branches and gravel rushed forward, leaving no grass behind wherever it went.

Xue Bao turned around and shouted, "A flash flood is coming! Run!"

His voice pierced through the wind and the noisy crowd, resonating in the air.

After hearing this, the people behind immediately sped up and ran.

The children felt the unprecedented tense atmosphere among the adults. Even if they accidentally fell, they were quickly helped up. They did not dare to cry out loud, but just continued to move forward and desperately tried to catch up with the team.

Behind every step and every drop of sweat is the desire for life and the vision of an infinitely beautiful future.

By the time Bai Xiuqin and the others saw the mountain torrent, the water flow had become even larger and more violent.

The turbid muddy water was mixed with various debris, such as tree roots, stones, etc., which destroyed all obstacles along the way.

Fortunately, the hillside they were on was relatively high and safe.

The children were stunned by the shocking yet terrifying scene before them, and they all clung to their adults, fearing that they would be swept into the surging torrent if they were not careful.

The people who came from Sujia Village had made sufficient preparations in advance. They followed Bai Xiuqin and others with their valuables at home.

In stark contrast, the villagers who remained in the cave did not seem so prepared to deal with this emergency.

They had not fully realized the horror of the impending disaster.

The deafening sound was getting closer and closer, and an indescribable sense of panic filled the air.

The villagers then realized that the situation had become extremely critical, and they had to pack their bags in a hurry. Even the elderly and young children who had difficulty moving around were hastily accommodated and followed the large group to quickly catch up with the retreating crowd in front.

At first, the village chief was reluctant to take such a decisive approach to evacuating the village.

These days he lived a comfortable and leisurely life in the cave, and felt that it was much better than before.

At this moment, he even secretly complained in his heart that Bai Xiuqin was too nervous, as if she was making a big deal out of nothing.

In his heart, Zhu Yousheng actually really wanted to follow everyone to a higher place to take shelter.

What has happened recently has made him full of deep respect and trust for Bai Xiuqin.

But unfortunately, his father was unwilling to leave here.

Out of desperation, he had to secretly arrange for other family members to quickly pack up the necessary supplies without telling his father, and be ready to move to the mountains at any time.

As the saying goes, “Preparedness is forewarned.” It was this careful preparation in advance that became the key to successfully escaping from danger.

Seeing that the situation was urgent, the village chief, who had always insisted on his own opinion, could not help but feel extremely anxious. He stumbled into the crowd and shouted loudly: "Quick! Go up the mountain quickly!"

After hearing the order, Zhu Yousheng immediately ordered all family members to share the luggage and ran towards the top of the mountain with all their might, carrying the luggage on their shoulders and in their hands.

Ultimately, they were the first of the inhabitants to arrive on this high land.

From this moment on, all the Su family members who originally lived in the cave joined this life-and-death competition without exception - that is, to see who can find a safer and more secure place before the flood arrives.

But people soon discovered a disturbing fact: the ridge they had just passed was swallowed up by huge waves in the blink of an eye.

Everyone realized that this would be a real battle between life and death, and only those who reacted quickly enough and acted quickly enough would have a chance to save their lives.

When they finally reached the top of the mountain, Bai Xiuqin and her group were almost exhausted.

This difficult journey exhausted everyone's physical strength, and both adults and children felt exhausted and gasping for breath.

However, faced with this sudden and huge natural disaster, everyone is wondering what exactly caused it?
