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

Su Duanxu seemed unaware of the gazes from around him. His throat was dry and smoking, and he said in a hoarse voice:

"This journey is all thanks to everyone's care."

"It's time I did something."

Sun Wan's lips curled up into a smile: "Okay, then let Lao Er accompany me!"

Sun Wan nodded, and naturally the others had nothing to say.

The mother and son set off on their journey, and the surroundings were so quiet that only the sound of the wind could be heard.

Sun Wan didn't think much about it. In days of water shortage, it was natural to speak as little as possible.

However, she had to find a way to get the second child out of the way.

So, after walking for a while, Sun Wan stopped and said softly, "Second brother, let's look for it separately."

"It's too slow for two of us to go together. You go west, I'll go east. We'll have to return to the meeting point in two sticks of incense, regardless of whether we find it or not."

"remember?"

Su Duanxu looked at Sun Wan steadily, and after a long silence, he nodded: "Yes."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and left, his thin body looking even thinner under his clothes.

Sun Wan felt something was wrong, but the situation was urgent, so she had to put it aside for the time being and planned to talk to the second brother in detail in the evening.

Walking along the mountain road, Sun Wan paid attention to the land under her feet. After going around a hill, she could faintly hear the sound of gurgling water in the distance.

Sun Wan's eyes lit up, and she quickly ran towards the source of the sound, and indeed found a small pool of water!

Above the accumulated water, there is a thin stream as thin as a silk thread. Following it upwards, it used to be a small stream, but due to the severe drought, it has become a trickle.

Sun Wan was overjoyed. Just as she was about to go forward to check the water level and take out the water from the space, she found that the function of the space had failed again!

Sun Wan's heart suddenly tightened, as if something had pulled it.

She turned around suddenly, only to meet Su Duanxu's pale and weak face!

The face was so close to her, as if it was pressed against her back.

Sun Wan shuddered with fear, and her hand involuntarily pushed Su Duanxu: "You're looking for excitement! When did you sneak up on me?"

"You want to scare your mother to death!"

Su Duanxu was pushed and swayed, and finally managed to steady himself: "Mom, you were so anxious to find water that you didn't notice me following you."

"You didn't even notice it when I was following you."

Sun Wan glared at him unhappily, but she felt anxious in her heart.

Su Duanxu's appearance almost disrupted her entire plan, which was really worrying.

With one more person here, how is she going to get the water out of the space?

This small puddle is not enough for everyone to drink.

Sun Wan's scalp went numb. Fortunately, she didn't reveal the truth just now, otherwise she really wouldn't know what to do.

On the surface, she remained calm, picked up the bucket she was carrying and directly handed it to Su Duanxu: "Stop talking nonsense and get some water!"

"Then tell the village chief and others to take away as much water as possible."

But Su Duanxu stood still.

Sun Wan only then noticed that his eyes were fixed on the puddle, his Adam's apple rolling non-stop: "No hurry, mother, let me drink my fill first!"

As he said this, he was about to lie down in the puddle.

"Second!"

Sun Wan was shocked and quickly grabbed Su Duanxu, slapping him on the back angrily, feeling mixed emotions: "You fool!"

"What did your mother teach you? You can't drink raw water!"

Su Duanxu's reaction was even more intense than Sun Wan's. He struggled desperately and pushed Sun Wan away. "Mom, there's only so much water. If you don't drink it soon, someone else will grab it all!"

He was about to lunge forward again.

Sun Wan was completely enraged by his selfish behavior. She pushed Su Duanxu to the ground with force and said, "Mother said no, and that's it!"

It seems that Su Duanxu's selfish character will never change in this lifetime. He is unwilling to wait even for a sip of water.

This urgency is so chilling.

"You stupid fool, why won't you obey?"

Su Duanxu fell to the ground in a mess and suddenly yelled, "Am I stupid or are you stupid?"

"You insist on hanging out with a bunch of outsiders and can't even take care of your own children!"

"Now even the third brother is missing, and you're so happy! Are you planning to abandon me too?"

Sun Wan was so angry that her face turned red and her neck became thick. She slapped him in the face, but her heart was filled with helplessness: "Shut up!"

"You heartless person! If we hadn't all helped each other along the way, would you have survived until now?!"

"Dream on!"

"I'm telling you, this water can't be drunk until everyone arrives and it boils!"

After uttering harsh words, the mother and son looked at each other with hatred, and there was no trace of affection in their eyes.

Su Duanxu suddenly sneered.

He laughed strangely and looked at Sun Wan as if she were an enemy: "You are always like this."

"In your eyes, we are not children at all. We are clearly your appendages. When you are in a good mood, you treat us well, but when you are not, you discard us like trash."

"I've had enough!"

"Anyway, you have the eldest and the youngest, so you don't like me and the third one anymore."

"I'm leaving now. You old fool, just wait for your retribution!"

Su Duanxu cursed, climbed up with hatred, and plunged into the depths of the mountain horse.

Sun Wan stood there in a daze, a mixture of emotions welling up in her heart. Although she had reversed the trajectory of her own fate in her new life, the nature of those people could never be easily changed.

Sun Wan was very clear-headed.

She never wanted to experience the sorrow of her previous life again.

Looking at Su Duanxu's receding back, Sun Wan was filled with helplessness and felt desolate, but she couldn't help but feel frightened, as if she had been struck by a bolt from the blue.

"Unfilial son, unfilial son..."

She murmured softly, but her heart was calm.

Sun Wan mechanically picked up the bucket, then bent down to fetch water from the puddle. When she lowered her head, a hideous and distorted face was reflected in the water.

"go to hell!"

At some point, Su Duanxu returned like a ghost, suddenly pounced on Sun Wan, and tried to push her head into the water!

Seeing that terrifying face, Sun Wan's heart almost stopped beating, and her body instinctively dodged. Su Duanxu couldn't stop and fell into the puddle.

Sun Wan knew that Su Duanxu was greedy for profit and would not let go easily.

At this moment, Sun Wan was speechless.

The moment he touched the water, Su Duanxu lost his mind and sucked desperately like a beast.

Looking at Su Duanxu's crazy look, Sun Wan couldn't believe it. If she had been a little slower, she would have died at his hands.

"You, want to kill your mother?"

Sun Wan questioned in shock, but Su Duanxu ignored her and just buried his head in the water and drank it.

Fear and sadness gradually turned into anger in Sun Wan's heart.

She breathed slightly heavily, grabbed the wooden barrel on the ground, raised it high, and smashed it hard on Su Duanxu's head.

"boom!"

After a muffled sound, Su Duanxu collapsed into the puddle and became motionless.

Sun Wan dragged him out expressionlessly and confirmed that he was still alive.

Evil son, all children are a debt!

Perhaps because of her experience in her previous life, Sun Wan quickly regained her composure when she saw the unconscious Su Duanxu.

She was high above him, dragging Su Duanxu's feet to the edge of the grass, and kicking him a few times to vent her hatred.

Sun Wan was extremely angry.

Then she filled the wooden bucket with water and poured the water in the space into the puddle.

This time, the space function was not lost.

After everything was done, Sun Wan returned to the camp with a cold face and announced the discovery of the water source.

"real!"

Numb and desperate looks flashed in everyone's eyes, and then a huge light of hope burst out.

Sun Wan said nothing and opened the lid of the barrel.
