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

He spoke very sincerely, hoping that everyone would understand the importance of the matter.

After hearing Su Shunde's words of encouragement, everyone quickened their pace.

Even so, there was no formal rest and meal time arranged at noon. Everyone just ate some of the dry food they brought with them to fill their stomachs, and then continued on their hurried journey.

After walking continuously for a whole day, the team finally arrived at a point slightly below the halfway point of the mountain just when the sky was beginning to darken.

This is enough to show how majestic and magnificent this mountain range is.

By the time the villagers reached this location, the amount of water in the clear stream in the valley had been greatly reduced. It was estimated that if they continued on their way, it would soon dry up completely.

Therefore, every villager cherishes every bit of water resources at hand and tries to use the streams along the way to replenish their needs, so as to avoid consuming their precious water resources too early.

And so we spent the night peacefully.

The morning sun shines through the curtains and onto everyone's face.

Everyone woke up from their sleep, rubbed their eyes, and began to prepare for the new day.

The next morning, everyone was tired and hopeful and took half a day to trek to the foot of the mountain.

It was a difficult journey, and they could clearly feel the harsh environment along the way: the rivers gradually dried up and the sound of water became sparse; the grass and trees withered and lost their former vibrant colors; even the bark was stripped off by animals or people, leaving it bare.

Zhang Kun led the guard team to explore the way ahead, and finally found a place suitable for camping and resting in a low and humid place.

So he sent a few people back to inform the rear team.

Soon, all the villagers gathered together to take a short rest. Everyone looked very tired, but there was still a glimmer of desire to survive in their eyes.

Su Shunde stood up and said to everyone, "Please remain quiet and sit down to eat something and drink some water. We need to conserve our energy. I will need to send someone to the official road to check on the situation later."

There was a hint of determination in his tone.

Afterwards, Zhang Kun led several warriors on the road to check the official road.

These men were carefully selected warriors, brave and loyal.

Soon, with their vigorous steps, the group arrived at their destination smoothly.

I was terrified when I looked up!

Both sides of the road in front of me were filled with skinny, pale people lying there. Their eyes were empty and hopeless, as if they had lost the last bit of life.

What is even more distressing is that in some places you can see babies curled up in the arms of their weak mothers, making tiny and helpless cries, as if even the sound of a cat's meow is not as weak as that.

Seeing these strange yet friendly faces approaching, the refugees were too frightened to get up and flee.

I could only watch these newcomers, hoping to get some help or comfort.

Zhang Kun and several other men continued to move forward cautiously, holding their weapons.

After walking through the crowd for a distance, they entered an uninhabited wilderness.

A dry and hot atmosphere filled the air, the air was mixed with the smell of sand and dust, and the ground was covered with a thick layer of dust.

When the strong wind blows, the sky is covered with gray fog, which obstructs the vision and makes it almost impossible to open the eyes.

This scene is terrifying, and it makes people think of the good times in the past and feel extremely heavy compared to the difficulties they are facing now.

Fortunately, we have a good housewife!

Su Mingxiang thought secretly, and became more convinced that her mother must be hiding many unknown secrets.

Since coming to this village, she has brought countless good luck and turning points, changing the fate of all the villagers.

If everything had continued as normal, perhaps we would have become one of these displaced people—burned by the scorching sun, or even died of hunger; or worse, coveted by others and facing life-threatening danger...

Thinking of this, not only Su Mingxiang, but also Zhang Kun and others had the same idea.

After years of interacting and getting to know each other, he knew that Sun Wan was no ordinary person and was a legend in the eyes of the villagers.

When the villagers talk about her, they are always filled with awe and curiosity, because she has so many unknown stories and incredible abilities.

She would feel uncomfortable if she didn't get even the slightest benefit, and she was especially harsh on the women in her family, not even treating her daughter and granddaughter well.

Sun Wan never showed any tenderness towards the women in her family, and her strictness was almost terrifying.

However, since she announced that she was going to escape the disaster, the woman seemed like a different person.

His originally cold and ruthless face became much gentler, and he became particularly planned and confident in doing things.

Every turning point seems to be related to her, and she can always find the best solution before every danger.

This made Lao Zhang think to himself, maybe she really has some special abilities?

He thought of the legends he had heard in the past about quacks and mysterious masters. Perhaps these were not completely unfounded.

Although there are many extraordinary people in the world, ordinary people rarely have the opportunity to see them.

In folklore, there are indeed people with special talents. They may be hidden among the masses, waiting for the right opportunity to show their extraordinary powers.

In short, this is a lucky thing for all the villagers, especially my family.

Being able to meet such a "noble person" is undoubtedly the greatest blessing for the entire village.

After standing in the midst of the flying yellow dust and thinking for a while, he finally made a decision: "Let's go back."

The situation before him made him feel that time was running out, and every minute and every second could affect the life and death of the entire village.

It would be more appropriate to quickly move all the villagers of Sujia Village here.

So, the group quickly crossed the wasteland. There was no one in front of them. The only sounds around them were the sound of wind blowing through dead branches and leaves, and the sound of sand and stones rubbing against each other under their feet.

They walked along an unfamiliar path until it was getting dark, and then they found a place to rest temporarily.

Although this place is not hidden or safe, it can at least temporarily avoid the sight of pursuers.

I can't hang out with those people anymore, because once I'm discovered, not only will I be in danger, but it will also bring disastrous consequences to other villagers.

So they hurried back to the location of Sujia Village.

Although everyone looked exhausted at this time, they still remained vigilant and quickly began a new round of preparations.

He told Su Shunde and others the situation in detail.

After hearing the news, everyone's face instantly became serious and heavy. After all, the road ahead is full of unknowns and numerous obstacles.

When everyone heard this, they felt that the problem was very tricky. They were anxious and worried, not knowing how to deal with all the challenges that might come next.
