I travel back and forth between ancient and modern times, hoarding goods to raise my grandchildren a

He finally said happily, "It's okay if I get rejected. My mother told me to find someone else to take me in after I'm rejected."

She also put something on me that if someone rejects me and tries to grab me, his hand will rot and he will die as soon as he touches me.

That way, no one can touch me, and no one can bully me.

"It's so troublesome. Sometimes when I'm itchy, I can't even scratch myself. My mother said that if I accidentally touch the medicine powder on my body, my hands will rot."

Yu Wanwan: "..."

Xiao Bao is unfortunate, but he is also lucky.

His mother was truly the person who loved him most in the world.

It can only be said that they were born at the wrong time, and fate played a cruel trick on them.

The fourth brother and Xu Huai'an suddenly jumped away from Xiao Bao.

"Why didn't you say so sooner? I almost fell for it."

He remembered that he had just woken Xiao Bao up, and he almost wanted to pull him up with Xu Huai'an.

Fortunately, he only thought about it in his mind and did not take any action.

Otherwise, he feared that his hands were no longer his hands.

No, it's very possible that his life is no longer his own.

This is too terrible.

"I'll get you some water. Go wash yourself clean first, and then change into new clothes before leaving with us."

Yu Wanwan didn't want herself or her grandchildren to accidentally bump into him and then lose their lives.

After Xiaobao finished his bath and changed into clean clothes.

They didn't linger.

They've already wasted enough time here; they need to get down to business.

The eldest brother led the second brother and the others to Heping's car.

Xiao Bao was kept behind by the fourth brother to sit with them.

When Yu Wanwan started the car, she glanced at it through the rearview mirror.

I noticed that Xiao Bao's eyes were red as he looked out the window.

The car window was open, and he suddenly shouted out the window, "Father, Mother, I will definitely live well, you don't need to worry about me."

Yu Wanwan sighed.

In the pit filled with bones, the woman breathed a sigh of relief and said to her husband, "Did you hear that? Xiao Bao said he will live well."

They did not harm Xiaobao.

They must have food on them; Xiao Bao can survive if he goes with them.”

"He won't starve to death like Da Bao, Er Bao, San Bao, and Si Bao."

The man nodded.

Inside the car, to prevent yellow dust from blowing in later, Lao Si closed the car window.

The car sped forward.

Xiao Bao, who was sharing snacks with Lao Si and the others, once again had an innocent smile on his face.

Once outside the village, the roadsides were desolate again.

However, there are some unique landscapes amidst the desolation.

Every so often you'd see a piece of clothing lying on the ground, with pieces of bone protruding from it.

The further away from the capital, the denser these bones and clothes become.

Yu Wanwan's face turned a little pale.

Those were undoubtedly individuals who starved to death during the drought.

There are already countless corpses.

There were truly countless people starving to death.

What kind of hell on earth is it outside of the capital?

"Grandmother, were all the corpses outside starved to death?"

"So many people starved to death, are my second brother's maternal grandparents still alive?"

The fourth brother was also staring out the window, his tone unconsciously becoming worried.

"If they really starve to death, then it's good that we've traveled all this way to collect their bodies. It's better than people dying and having no one to collect their bodies."

I once heard from the servants of the general's mansion that if they really starved to death, their biggest regret would be not having had a son or daughter, so that no one would be there to collect their bodies.

If they had a child, they could die in peace.

Now that we've come this far, the fourth son, being such a filial child, certainly wouldn't leave out mentioning Yu Wanwan.

Just as Yu Wanwan was thinking this, Lao Si said the next thing.

"Grandmother, don't worry, you have six grandsons like us. When you die, we will definitely come to collect your body."

That way, even if you die in the future, you won't have any regrets.

Yu Wanwan: "...Thank you so much."

"However, you don't need to think of me again if the topic comes up again next time."

Seriously, if you just don't think of me at times like these, you'll be my most dutiful grandson.

She is still young and alive and well.

But she couldn't stand the constant stream of people wanting to take care of her in her old age and even wanting to collect her body.

She was afraid that if she mentioned it too much, her fourth son's wish might actually come true one day.

"And you shouldn't say that in front of your second brother. We'll find out the details when we get there. There's no need to make wild guesses and add unnecessary trouble for yourself."

"Yes, I will listen to my grandmother."

"But Grandmother, why is it that if a child collects one's own body, there are no regrets in life? Does that mean that if a child collects one's own body, the person can come back to life after death?"

And why do you have to have a child before someone will collect your body? If you don't have a child, and you die on the street, won't people think you're blocking their way if they don't collect your body?

"If no one minds me lying in the road blocking the way, then I think if I die, I'm fine with anyone collecting my body."

Yu Wanwan: "..."

Listening to a five-year-old child talk about whether or not someone collects a corpse is a truly indescribable feeling.

She was somewhat speechless.

The issues he was considering were indeed far ahead of their time.

As they were talking, the car moved forward a little further.

They could already see the city gate of Tongzhou in the distance.

Unlike the city gates of the capital, the city gates of Tongzhou were practically useless.

The city gates were wide open, and there was no one guarding the city walls.

People came in and out of the city gate in twos and threes.

These people were all very thin, so thin that they were hunched over.

The clothes draped over their bodies hung loosely.

They were each holding a piece of cloth in their hands; if you looked closely, you would see that it was actually someone else's clothing.

These people are dragging another person along with their hands.

To be precise, he was someone who had already lost his life.

"Grandmother, do they want to do the same thing as Xiaobao's parents...?"

The fourth brother, his eyes wide, was halfway through speaking when he remembered that Xiao Bao was still beside him, and quickly shut his mouth.

After the car entered the city gate.

Yu Wanwan saw someone in the corner of the alley unable to resist and bending down to bite...

Her throat felt acidic.

It was so disgusting that I felt like throwing up.

Many people looked over curiously as their car entered the city gate.

The sudden appearance of such a colossal creature, which they had never seen before, would normally cause everyone to gather around and discuss it.

However, they were all numb with hunger.

I was so numb that I thought I was hallucinating.

They simply couldn't believe that what they were seeing was what they were actually witnessing.

They glanced up briefly, then looked down again to continue with their own tasks.

"Grandma, can I give them some food?"

The fourth brother felt sorry for her and asked Yu Wanwan what she thought.
