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

She couldn't help feeling heavy in her heart.

Obviously, not all of the refugees yesterday were lucky enough to escape like them.

Sun Wan tiptoed back to the cellar, gritted her teeth, put the rabbit fur coat back into the storage space, and then took out two bags of beans.

After thinking for a moment, she took five more bags of brown rice and hid them under the bed in the room, kicking them to make sure that these things would not be easily discovered.

Everything was arranged and she returned to the cellar again.

When the door opened, everyone was surprised at first, but when they saw who it was, they immediately gathered around happily: "Mrs. Sun, you're finally back!"

Sun Wan smiled and nodded, holding up the beans in her hand: "Look what I found!"

Zhu Xiuqin couldn't wait to come forward, and when she saw Shudou, she immediately lowered her voice and cheered, "Shudou!"

"Yo!"

Everyone was surprised and delighted, and gathered together involuntarily, their eyes fixed on the two bags of beans, as if they were priceless treasures.

Sun Wan smiled and said, "I found it by the kitchen stove. It's toasted perfectly. Now we can have a good meal!"

"Oh, Mrs. Sun, you are really powerful!"

With food, everyone's mood instantly improved. Zhu Xiuqin distributed the beans skillfully, and everyone carefully tasted this hard-earned ration.

Yan Senyue chewed the crisp beans, a hint of depth flashing across his eyes.

She had already secretly explored every corner of the medicine shop, even the stove mentioned by Sun Wan, but she had never found so many beans.

This Mrs. Sun is becoming more and more intriguing.

Although Yan Senyue's heart was in turmoil, he remained expressionless and continued to enjoy the food in his hand leisurely.

Seeing that she had no abnormal reaction, Sun Wan felt relieved.

After eating the beans, everyone survived another night.

The next day, Sun Wan suggested going out to find food again. After yesterday's experience, everyone felt much more at ease, but they still repeatedly reminded Sun Wan to be cautious.

Unexpectedly, just as Sun Wan was about to leave, Yan Senyue suddenly stood up and said, "Sister Sun, I'll go with you."

"I have sharp hearing, so if the rebels suddenly approach, I can give you a heads-up."

Hearing this, everyone agreed: "Yes, that makes sense, Mrs. Sun, it would be safer for you to be with Miss Senyue."

Although Sun Wan had some concerns in her heart, she smiled brightly: "That's great!"

After leaving the cellar, the two first investigated the situation near the gate, and then began searching in the yard.

When they reached the room where the grain was stored yesterday, Sun Wan asked casually, "Miss Senyue, have you checked this room?"

Yan Senyue followed his gaze and frowned slightly: "I've taken a rough look at it. Does Mrs. Sun think it needs to be checked again?"

"Let's take another closer look. This family's cellar is so deep. There might be some secrets hidden in the house that we don't know about."

After saying this, Sun Wan opened the door and walked into the room.

The room was in a mess, obviously a woman's residence. There were several boxes of unfinished cosmetics scattered on the dressing table.

The family had apparently fled far away, taking away all their valuables and leaving behind some useless bottles and jars.

They avoided the debris and searched the room carefully.

Sun Wan's eyes swept over Yan Senyue lightly, and seeing that she was concentrating on examining the dressing table, she quietly walked to the bedside and began her exploration.

She bent down, her eyes slipped under the bed, and she immediately caught sight of the food hidden yesterday.

With her eyes locked on the target, Sun Wan quickly put the food into her secret space.

I originally planned to find a time to ask Zhu Xiuqin, who was bold but not meticulous enough, to help with the transportation. That way, even if the source of the food seemed a little strange, there would be someone to testify for her.

However, what was unexpected was that Yan Senyue became a companion in this operation.

Sun Wan knew clearly that this seemingly quiet and taciturn Sen Yue was actually extremely meticulous.

Even though the other party admitted that he had not conducted a detailed inspection of the room, Sun Wan did not dare to take it lightly.

Having lived two lives, she deeply understood that the human heart was the most unpredictable thing! She had even kept it a secret from her own four children, let alone reveal it to Yan Senyue.

After hiding the food, Sun Wan looked up dejectedly and happened to meet Yan Senyue's gaze.

She smiled bitterly and shook her head: "I thought there might be a surprise under the bed, but unexpectedly there is nothing."

Yan Senyue looked at her with a smile on his face: "It's okay, keep looking, maybe you'll find something else."

The two searched again, but still found nothing.

Sun Wan suddenly thought of something and pulled down a few pieces of tattered curtains from the bed: "I can make a few clothes with these when I get home!"

Holding the curtain, they went to the backyard to fetch a bucket of water and returned to the cellar together.

On the way, Sun Wan cleverly dropped a few drops of precious spiritual spring water, hoping that it could help everyone resist the invasion of disease.

When the people in the cellar saw the curtains and buckets in the hands of the two men, a hint of disappointment unconsciously appeared on their faces.

Fortunately, there was still more than a bag of beans left from the previous day. Everyone distributed them carefully, and each got a little, and then continued to endure the torment of hunger.

This time, the group held on for two days.

On the last day, Su Guiying, who had been in a coma for a long time, slowly opened her eyes. She looked up at Sun Wan in confusion, and after a moment's hesitation, she softly called out, "Mother..."

Sun Wan, who was taking a nap against the wall, was awakened by the word "Mom".

Seeing her daughter wake up, her tense emotions collapsed in an instant.

"Guiying, my good child..."

Sun Wan hugged her daughter and cried bitterly. The people around her were also touched by her crying and felt sad.

Su Guiying and her mother cried for a while, and she sobbed, "I thought... I would never wake up again..."

"Don't be afraid, I'm here. I won't let anything happen to you."

Sun Wan comforted her daughter and then hugged her tightly. Then she remembered something and took out her treasured beans from her bosom and put them to her daughter's lips.

"You've been unconscious for so many days, you must be starving. Come eat."

"Eat well, and your injuries will heal faster!"

Su Guiying was indeed very hungry, with stars appearing before her eyes. She nodded obediently and lowered her head to chew beans.

In order to prevent her daughter from eating too quickly due to being hungry for a long time, Sun Wan patiently fed her one piece at a time.

All of this fell into Yan Senyue's eyes. She suddenly turned her head and stared at the dim corner, tears glistening in her eyes.

With Su Guiying waking up, everyone spent the entire afternoon in the cellar.

As night fell, the last beans were eaten.

Sun Wan walked out of the cellar again and peeked through the crack in the door. The street was deserted, with no trace of soldiers. Only a few refugees with nervous expressions hurried by.

Sun Wan mustered up her courage, pushed open the door, and sprinted quickly along the street corner towards the city gate. She saw that the gate of Lucheng was suddenly wide open, and the bloodstains all over the ground had turned into an ominous darkness. It was obvious that the city had become a dead place.

She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then hurried back to the pharmacy and called out everyone hiding in the basement.
