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

"Some plagues may appear harmless on the surface, but once they break out they can kill people so quickly that there's almost no cure."

"Some suffer from vomiting and diarrhea, and the mortality rate is also high, but if they take medicine in time, there is still a glimmer of hope."

"I think Chongsong's symptoms are a bit like the plague I encountered when I was young."

"If we can find the right medicine, maybe we can save him."

After listening to the village chief's analysis, Sun Wan felt a little more confident.

But now we can’t even get enough food to eat, where can we find those precious medicinal herbs?

Just as Sun Wan was frowning, the crying sounds from inside the rockery gradually died down, as if it realized that no one was paying attention and stopped on its own.

Su Chongsong came out pitifully, leaning against the rockery, and looked at Sun Wan with eyes full of grievance and accusation.

Sun Wan was too lazy to pay any attention to it. Seeing that there was nothing to eat in the house, she immediately told everyone to leave.

At this moment, Su Chongsong truly felt the change in his mother.

He stopped playing the victim and hurriedly followed the tail of the team.

When Sun Wan and her group were about to return by the same route, passing through Nanshi, Su Chongsong suddenly quickened his pace and rushed to the front of the group, stopping them with a look of fear on his face: "No, no, we can't go this way!"

When Su Chongsong rushed forward, everyone subconsciously covered their noses and mouths and took a big step back in unison.

Su Chongsong's heart suddenly twitched, and he almost burst into tears in pain: "Everyone, listen to me, Nanshi is in trouble!"

"That area is under the control of the Western Zhao Army. Anyone passing through it will be punished!"

As soon as the three words "Western Zhao Army" were uttered, the people of Darong Village panicked as if they had been stung by a hornet.

Zhu Xiuqin glanced around cautiously, but didn't see a single trace of the Xizhao army. She couldn't help but mutter, "It's hard to tell whether it's real or fake!"

"Didn't we just walk here fine? There's no such thing as the Western Zhao Army, Su Laosan, you're just talking nonsense!"

Su Chongsong was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan: "Really! Absolutely true!"

"You guys are lucky. The South City has long been occupied by the Western Zhao Army. If you want to pass through, you have to pay!"

"They only come out at night and take naps during the day, but there are so many spies around. If they get wind of it, they'll be there in a heartbeat!"

"Follow me quickly! Once the Xizhao army wakes up, we won't be able to escape!"

Su Chongsong was anxious and glanced towards Nanshi from time to time while speaking.

Everyone was skeptical: "No way, if there really are Western Zhao troops, why is this city still so peaceful?"

"Everyone knows that the Western Zhao army is a vicious and evil force. They rob, burn, and kill wherever they go, committing all sorts of evil!"

"How would I know? They call themselves the Western Zhao Army. I estimate there are over fifty of them. Their leader seems to be named Zhu Zhennan."

"They seem to be injured and are here to recuperate, but they are definitely not easy to deal with."

"We killed nearly a dozen people there yesterday!"

Following the direction of Su Chongsong's finger, everyone indeed saw a bloody land.

Now, everyone's trust level instantly rose to 70% to 80%.

Without saying a word, everyone turned around and followed Su Chongsong's footsteps to escape from this nest of trouble.

After walking two blocks, Su Chongsong finally stopped, panting: "Okay... okay."

"This is the West Market, where only poor people live. The Western Zhao Army looks down on it and rarely sets foot here."

Everyone finally recovered and leaned against the wall to catch their breath.

Suddenly, there was a creaking sound from behind, and a weathered old face appeared from the crack of the door and said, "Chongsong."

"Did you find anything to eat?"

As soon as the words fell, the crowd who had just taken a breath immediately exploded.

Everyone stared at Su Chongsong with wide eyes in disbelief.

"Su Lao San! Do you still have any conscience? You brought us to your father-in-law's house. What do you want to do? Do you want to drag us down with you?"

Zhu Xiuqin accused angrily, and the others also looked annoyed.

Su Chongsong had already lowered his head: "It's not like that, it's not..."

He gritted his teeth and fell to his knees in front of everyone with a plop. His forehead hit the ground with a thud and soon it was covered in blood.

"Please, everyone, save our family!"

Su Chongsong burst into tears: "It doesn't matter if I die, but my wife is still pregnant!"

"She just started coughing yesterday, and her cough is the mildest. Village chief, mother, please save her. I kowtow to you!"

After saying that, he knocked hard again.

This scene made everyone feel sick.

"Don't try that! We can't even make ends meet ourselves, how can we save her?"

Su Chongsong no longer argued, but just lowered his head and cried silently, looking like a coward.

When everyone saw this, they became even angrier.

Sun Wan even covered her chest, unable to breathe due to anger.

She pointed at Su Chongsong, her voice trembling: "Unfilial son! Unfilial son!"

Everyone in this village has seen you grow up, and yet you treat your family and friends like this for an outsider!

Sun Wan was filled with disappointment.

She had known that the third child was the most heartless among the children, with a heart as hard as stone, but she had never expected that he could be so cruel and inhumane!

As soon as this thought came to her mind, Sun Wan could no longer hold back. She strode forward, raised her hand and slapped Su Chongsong in the face with two loud slaps!

"Crack!" "Crack!"

Su Chongsong didn't even have time to scream in pain as he was slapped on the face and fell to the ground. His cheeks quickly swelled up like a pig's head, and blood slowly seeped from the corners of his mouth.

"What a crime!"

Sun Wan was still furious, and the intertwined memories of her two lives caused her to pull Su Chongsong up from the ground and slap him hard with her backhand.

Su Chongsong dared not resist and could only endure it in fear. After a while, his face was covered with blood and bruises.

It was not until Su Chongsong was almost fainting that Sun Wan pushed him away, breathing heavily.

Her chest rose and fell violently, standing out in the silence.

The villagers of Darong Village witnessed Madam Sun so furious for the first time!

Even the old man at the door was frightened and stood there like a wooden chicken. It took him a long time to react. He rushed towards Su Chongsong crying, "My son!"

"What kind of evil spirit have you brought back?"

The old man cried and wailed, turning to Sun Wan and the others and demanding, "Who the hell are you? You're beating people up in broad daylight. Are there any laws in place?"

"Ask this evil creature who I really am!"

Sun Wan retorted coldly. The old man was stunned for a moment, then looked down at Su Chongsong who had his head lowered tightly.

Su Chongsong managed to squeeze out a word: "Mother..."

The old man's hands trembled, and he almost threw Su Chongsong out: "Mother? Mother-in-law? It's mother-in-law!"

"Bah! Who is your mother-in-law? I don't have such a heartless son!"

Sun Wan was furious, and the old man suddenly realized.

He quickly helped his son-in-law sit down, then he respectfully walked up to Sun Wan and bowed, "Mother-in-law, I vaguely understood something. Is there something wrong with my daughter's illness?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a cool breeze blew by, and the old man suddenly burst into a deafening cough.

After this cough, the old man was like a piece of rotten wood, his body curled up like a pile of scattered weeds.

Everyone was so frightened that they backed away.
