Thanos's biological daughter in period fiction

These two are so fat they could be slaughtered. Every day, people try to steal their food from the table, even the simplest cornbread. And if they steal it, you can't take it back, or they'll start cursing and sometimes even hitting you.

After the first and second time, they never took anything home again. Whatever it was, they would find a place for their mother and sister to eat before they got home.

Liu Fangmei knew that her son was worried about her, so he would eat some each time, but only a little, and let the two children eat the rest.

Those two were also particularly good at smelling things. After eating something, they would always pick some bitter vegetables and chew them to savor the taste in their mouths. Otherwise, if those two smelled the food when they got back, it would be like the sky had fallen.

Liu Fangmei got tired of this constant commotion, so from then on she had her two sons find whatever they could find and eat it on the mountain. After chewing the wild vegetables, they would rinse their mouths, and if possible, they would gather some wild grass or find houttuynia cordata. The taste was so strong that they could keep chewing on it.

They will finally be free from this kind of life. From now on, they can bring home anything good they find on the mountain and share it with their mother and sister.

We no longer need to worry about what they ate, or if their aunt and brother smelled it and caused their mother to get scolded.

“Next time you see them, just call out to them, whether they answer or not doesn’t matter. As long as you call out, you’re in the right. You’re still young, your reputation can’t be tarnished, understand?” He had seen the suffering the two children had endured, and he wouldn’t let them suffer again.

"We understand, Dad. Mom, let's have dumplings today. I want the sauerkraut and pork filling," Xia Qingshu said first. His parents had never hidden their secret from them. They also knew that their parents had plenty of food and told them to eat as much as they wanted without worry.

But these days, it's dangerous to walk around outside, let alone for someone who's fair-skinned and chubby, standing out from the crowd. So they only eat a little something good occasionally.

They definitely didn't want to look like their older cousin; that would be too frightening, and their younger sister would surely disown them. Their sister had said since she was little that her older brother looked ugly. They only had one sister, and they didn't want to be disliked by her.

After finishing cooking, the father and his sons went outside and started walking around the yard, trying to see if there were any safety hazards they hadn't thought of.

Xia Qingshu looked at his family's wall and pointed at it, saying, "Dad, we need to put something on our wall, otherwise it'll be too easy for people to climb over." Because the wall was made of stone and was uneven, people could climb over it by stepping on the gaps between the stones.

"I was planning to do that, but I have to go to the scrap metal yard in town to see if there's any broken glass. Laying broken glass on the wall would be the best option." He had already thought of this, but he forgot to go to the scrap metal yard when he went to the county town.

"Dad, I fell down that cliff once, and there are a lot of glass bottles there. Why don't we go and collect them and fix them ourselves?" That way we won't have to go to the county or town's scrap yard to buy them.

"When did you fall to the bottom of the cliff? Are you hurt?" When did this little rascal fall? Why didn't I tell him?

He didn't make a sound. What if he had been injured back then?

"Last year, I caught a sparrow. I was going to roast it with Tu Dan and the others. But somehow my older brother saw it and chased me all the way. He stole our things, and I accidentally slipped down the slope. I only cut my palms and arms, nothing serious." Xia Qingshu realized he had let something slip after he said it. Now he couldn't cover it up anymore and had to confess honestly.

"Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I have to leave in two days after today. It's still early, only noon. Take me to see it. Tell me first what color the bottle is..." Xia Jixuan thought about it for a while but was still not quite sure about his guess, so he could only go to the site to see for himself.

"There were transparent ones like canned food jars, but they weren't canned food jars. The upper part and the mouth were narrow, like those soda bottles sold in county towns. Another kind was short, and not very wide at the bottom, just a little bigger than the mouth. Those came in white, black, and brown. There were quite a lot of them piled up over there, but they were buried in the ground. That day, when I slid down, my straw sandals accidentally knocked off a piece of soil, and that's how I saw them. I swept away all the traces I had left. Nobody knows I've been there..." His father, being a soldier, had taught them many wilderness survival skills, and cleaning up one's own traces was one of the most important skills.

No matter what, they must ensure their safety. If they cannot leave the scene immediately, they should try not to move. This is mainly because they are afraid of stepping on dry branches or leaves and making noise that will alert others.

Xia Jixuan grew increasingly alarmed as he listened. He thought the short bottles resembled Japanese liquor bottles. Transporting these items from there was inconvenient, so only high-ranking people among the Japanese soldiers could afford them.

Xia Jixuan couldn't imagine it. If there really were Japanese soldiers hiding right under their noses, then the lives of everyone in their village would be in grave danger...

"Stone, take your father there in a bit. Once you get there, leave first. Leave things over there to me. Remember, you must leave. Don't stay there to see what's going on..." Otherwise, this little guy will die here. After all, this little body can't take a beating.

“I understand, Father. Father, after you go down the slope, turn right. There’s a long, narrow path there. Something is covering it up outside. Help those things go in. There are several caves of different sizes inside. Also, there’s a big tree at the bottom of the slope. Someone hollowed out the tree and hid something inside.” These were all things he found when he went down to explore for the second time, but he couldn’t understand the writing, so he didn’t take them.

He had visited those caves before, and they were all empty, but there were signs of footsteps at the entrances. There were guards inside, so he didn't dare get too close. After all, he was completely helpless at that time, and if he got caught, he would be dead.

He was still shaken after returning home, but being a child, he was forgetful and quickly forgot his fear. However, he never went back there again.

I wonder if there's anyone still there? Is it dangerous for him to take his father there now?

Even now, recalling the situation still makes his heart race. He admits he was scared, and he even considered the possibility that there might be spies involved. But even if he knew, there was nothing he could do, after all, he was just a child not even nine years old at the time.
