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

Xie Yulan snatched the package back abruptly, her eyes full of displeasure, and glared at Su Duanxu.

But Su Duanxu seemed indifferent to this. He carefully tore the cake into small pieces and put them into Old Lady Sun's mouth bit by bit.

As the cake gradually disappeared, Grandma Sun's spirits gradually recovered. She stroked Su Duanxu's face with trembling hands, "Duanxu, you are really the apple of my eye..."

"A hundred times better than your careless mother..."

Su Duanxu lowered his head and remained silent.

Song Ping sniffed the aroma of the cakes and couldn't help swallowing her saliva. She then suggested, "Duanxu, it's very cold in this cave. Look, grandma is shivering with cold."

"Why don't you go find some firewood? You and Yaozu?"

Su Duanxu, who had just curled up in a ball because of his wet clothes, nodded without hesitation, put on his waterproof oil jacket, pulled Sun Sheng up and rushed out.

The cave suddenly became empty, with only a few women remaining.

Old Lady Sun burped and suddenly pointed at Su Guiying: "Guying, come, help me out to get some fresh air."

"Huh? Me?" Su Guiying was confused. Old Lady Sun smacked her lips impatiently: "Yes, it's you! What are you dawdling about?"

"Just like your mother, short-sighted!"

Although Su Guiying was unhappy about being blamed innocently, she had to obey her elders and helped Old Lady Sun walk out of the cave slowly.

Inside the cave, Song Ping looked at Xie Yulan, who was tightly holding the package, with a meaningful smile on her lips.

Her plump body moved closer to Xie Yulan: "Second niece-in-law, how many months have you been pregnant?"

As soon as she finished speaking, her face changed suddenly and she kicked Xie Yulan's bulging belly.

"Ah!" A shrill cry of pain suddenly rang out in the cave.

Su Guiying, who was outside the cave, was shocked and trembled all over, wanting to rush back into the cave.

Unexpectedly, an old but strong hand grabbed her like an eagle's claw: "Guiying!"

The originally frail Old Lady Sun now seemed possessed by a demon. Her face was hidden in the rain, and only her voice was icy cold: "Guiying, you have been an obedient child since childhood."

"Your second sister-in-law is pregnant and can't walk far. It's a long way from Jizhou to Huizhou. She will eventually give up."

Fear gradually crept onto Su Guiying's face, and her voice was as thin as a thread: "But, but she is also a life!"

"Guiying!" Old Lady Sun shouted, her voice like a hammer hitting Su Guiying's heart: "If we keep her, we're all doomed!"

"Your brother can barely take care of himself, how can he possibly take care of a woman who's six months pregnant?"

"When your brother comes back, you don't need to say anything. Just tell him you went out with me to look for wild vegetables. Remember that!"

Su Guiying was so frightened that she stood there in a daze, fear all over her face.

Old Lady Sun suddenly chuckled and patted Su Guiying's cheek with her skinny hand: "What are you afraid of? You are grandma's granddaughter."

"Don't worry, I'll only deal with her. As for you and Duan Xu, I will ensure that you leave here safely."

Upon hearing this, Su Guiying could no longer hold back her tears and they rolled down her cheeks.

About half an hour later, Su Duanxu and Sun Sheng came back.

The two were almost soaked, but fortunately they accidentally found a hunter's shed on the mountain, and the firewood underneath was still dry.

So they took the shed and firewood back with them and trotted back in the rain.

As soon as he reached the entrance of the cave, Su Duanxu smelled a pungent herbal scent.

His face changed slightly, he threw away the firewood in his hand, and rushed into the cave at the speed of wind.

As soon as I entered the cave, it was pitch black at first, and then I could slowly see the scene in front of me.

Old Madam Sun's voice was as heavy as iron. "Duanxu, it's Grandma's fault for being incompetent..."

"Your wife walked all day and got caught in the rain. She fell and the child is gone..."

"I wanted to save her, but... I was useless!"

As Old Lady Sun spoke, she slapped herself hard several times and burst into tears.

In the corner, Su Guiying's eyes widened and her body trembled slightly, which was not easy to notice.

As for Su Duanxu, he just stood there in a daze, like a puppet that was frozen in place.

He moved closer to Xie Yulan and saw that her bulging belly showed no signs of life, and there was a pool of blood that seemed to be devouring her.

Xie Yulan's eyes were wide open, filled with regret.

"what--"

Time seemed to stand still, and Su Duanxu's wails of collapse echoed in the cave.

Old Mrs. Sun wiped her tears, but her eyes were cold. She looked at Su Duanxu with a look of gloating.

Song Ping hugged the package tightly in her hand, Sun Sheng and Sun Zhuo came over, and everyone looked down at the crying Su Duanxu.

Su Guiying suddenly covered her ears and buried her head deeply between her knees.

It wasn't until Su Duanxu almost fainted from crying that Song Ping sobbed and said in a tearful voice, "Nephew, think positively."

"Your wife is so unfortunate. If she hadn't run into those white-turbaned bandits and encountered such bad weather, she wouldn't have had a miscarriage and lost the child..."

"Your mother is so cruel. She knew your wife was pregnant, but she still treated you so heartlessly. How can a mother be like this?"

"Your wife is so pitiful. She's thinking about you all the time, worried that you'll get wet and hungry when you come back. She's in so much pain that she can't even bear to eat a bite of bread..."

Song Ping handed the package back to Su Duanxu while crying. He looked at the bulging package and his crying became even more heartbreaking.

This time, the crying was mixed with deep resentment.

Suddenly, the crying stopped and Su Duanxu fainted completely.

Song Ping curled her lips, took back the package, opened it and shared the pancakes with everyone.

When it was Su Guiying's turn, Song Ping sneered as she looked like a deer covering its ears, not daring to raise its head.

Then she rudely pulled Su Guiying's hand away and stuffed the cake in.

The cave fell into deathly silence again.

……

Sun Wan suddenly felt a chill, and an inexplicable panic surged in her heart, as if there was an ominous sign.

She tried to calm herself down, but the feeling of insecurity grew stronger.

I simply rushed out of the cave, and the rain outside was even heavier than before.

The rain was pouring down, and the entire mountain was shrouded in fog. It was difficult to identify who was coming even at a close distance.

Sun Wan's expression became increasingly serious. She hurriedly put on her raincoat and climbed to the top of a nearby mountain.

As soon as she stood still, Sun Wan held her breath.

"Brother, did those people really enter this mountain?"

"Nonsense! Those guys thought they could fool me with their little tricks? I'll bet a hundred taels of silver that they're nearby!"

A familiar and fierce voice came from the grass under my feet.

It’s those people from the previous life!

Sun Wan would never forget this voice. It was this voice that had commanded the villains to beat the villagers all over their bodies.

If not, they would not have chosen shortcuts due to exhaustion, and were caught by the Western Zhao army and all of them were arrested.

At this moment, they realized that someone was going to rob them.

Filled with hatred, Sun Wan slowly squatted down, squinted her eyes and looked down carefully, only then she realized that the sound came from the mountain road below her feet.

That's how it is in the mountains. The paths seem to be intertwined and not far from each other, but if you really want to get closer, you have to go around the entire mountain.

This is simply God's help.
