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

His words were firm and cold, his eyes flashing with anger and determination.

Several people were so scared that they stood there, not daring to move, their eyes filled with fear.

Su Mingxiang noticed that although these men were thin, their eyes flashed with greedy red light - a sign of having eaten human flesh.

Thinking of this, I felt a chill on my back, worried that if I didn't wake up in time, Zhang Shulan might encounter an accident.

The fear and anxiety made him more determined to escape from this place as soon as possible.

So he dragged Zhang Shulan and quickly retreated to the place where the water was flowing fast.

The group was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening. They picked up their sticks and chased after him, shouting as they ran: "Good boy, you want to take this opportunity to escape with this woman? I was planning to keep you for a few days and then enjoy you slowly, but now it looks like I have to cook you first."

Their voices were filled with madness and despair.

At this time, Zhang Shulan also woke up and asked weakly: "Brother Mingxing, what happened?"

Her voice was weak and trembling, revealing extreme weakness and confusion.

"Shulan, hurry up and get up and run with me. There are a group of bad guys chasing us."

There was urgency and worry in Zhang Mingxiang's voice.

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Shulan immediately struggled to get up from the ground. Although her movements were a little staggering, she quickly took Su Mingxiang's hand. The two of them ran towards the turbulent river together, their steps firm and without hesitation.

When the two came to a large piece of driftwood, they immediately held on to this life-saving straw tightly, not daring to relax at all.

The water was flowing fast and they were floating down it like a helpless boat in the river.

Immediately afterwards, behind them, a thin woman caught up quickly like a cheetah, and then jumped into the rapid water as nimbly as a fish.

After swimming for a few times, she suddenly made a move and grabbed Su Shulan's hair with an extremely decisive and fierce action.

"You little bitch, you still want to escape? Humph, people who fall into my hands will never leave so easily. Don't think that just because you can swim you are a great talent. When I was playing in the water, you were not even born yet."

The thin woman's words were full of provocation and contempt, and there was a hint of pride in her eyes.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Su Mingxiang reacted quickly. With one hand, he held tightly onto the wood that supported the lives of both of them, and with the other hand, he gripped the knife tightly and swung it hard at the woman who attacked Shulan, hoping to save his companion.

Unfortunately, although this woman looks thin and seems vulnerable, she is actually surprisingly agile.

Every time the tip of the knife was about to approach her body, he always managed to dodge it in time; sometimes he even deliberately put Su Shulan in front of him, forcing Su Mingxiang to be unable to continue attacking. She could only watch as the other party held Shulan tightly, unable to do anything.

Just like that, amidst the surging waves, the three of them were entangled in a very strange and tense way, slowly drifting towards the shore with the current.

Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, a shadow suddenly emerged from the sea, and then a person with a red cloth tied on his head appeared in their sight. Holding a sharp harpoon, he mercilessly hit the thin woman who was holding Su Shulan tightly.

Sudden blow caused the woman to feel a sharp pain immediately, and then her consciousness gradually blurred and she fainted. The hand that had been tightly holding Su Shulan also loosened.

Su Mingxiang had no time to think about the meaning of everything happening before his eyes. He just subconsciously noticed the iconic decoration on the head of the mysterious rescuer - a striking red ribbon. After quickly determining that this was a friendly force rather than an enemy, he immediately seized the opportunity and rushed to the center of the flood again with the still frightened Su Shulan, trying to stay away from the shore where there might be more unknown threats.

Finally, after a lot of hard work, they finally escaped from danger and reached a temporarily safe place where they could take a break.

Because Su Shulan had unfortunately choked on some water while trying to escape, she was now coughing non-stop, which made Su Shuxiang very worried.

In order to calm her down and help relieve her discomfort, he gently patted the girl's back to help her breathe more smoothly.

Considering that the current situation is not suitable for soaking in water for a long time, we decided to quickly find a stable foundation as a temporary camping site, and to build a bonfire as soon as possible so that we can dry clothes and provide some warm food to replenish our energy.

He was really reluctant to eat the bread that Sun Wan gave him. Only when he was so hungry that he could hardly hold on any longer would he carefully break off a small piece and put it in his mouth.

When drinking water, you can only drink rainwater that falls from the sky, and never touch the muddy flood water.

After escaping from Sujia Village that day, they were swept down the mountain by the swift flood, their bodies constantly hitting rocks and debris brought by the water, leaving them covered in bruises.

Along the way, you can occasionally see the corpses of various animals floating on the water, such as wild boars, chickens, rabbits, etc., which is shocking.

As the flood flowed, when the two were finally washed to the foot of the mountain, they would pass by some villages that had not been completely submerged, and they would desperately call for help, hoping to attract the attention of the villagers on the shore.

However, the villagers on the shore were busy using sticks to scoop up the carcasses of various prey floating in the water, seemingly completely ignoring the danger the brother and sister were in.

Fortunately, in such a small village that was about to be flooded, there was an old dead tree stuck on the edge of the roof of a dilapidated tile house.

So Su Mingxiang seized the opportunity without hesitation and pulled this life-saving straw directly onto the roof.

The brother and sister sat on the roof that had not been affected by the flood and were able to take a break.

Looking around, it was obvious that this was a small mountain village with more than half of its area submerged by floods. Not far away, on the top of a high tree branch, three people were vaguely standing, waving their arms and shouting something to them.

But both Su Mingxiang and her sister Su Shulan had no time to pay attention to the words and actions of those strangers at this moment, and they had no energy to respond. After all, even their own safety was still uncertain.

Only then did Su Mingxiang have the time to open the bag that Sun Wan had given him.

Inside were two large pancakes that looked like thick steamed buns, a small sharp knife, ten taels of silver and two sets of clothes.

It is also worth mentioning that there is a small gadget in the bag that is said to be called a "lighter". Its usage is somewhat similar to that of a traditional fire starter and can be used to ignite things.

He carefully put these things back in their original places and found that the inside of the bag was still dry, without even a trace of moisture seeping in from being soaked in the flood.
