Xia Fugui's body stiffened. He raised his hand to touch the back of his head, looking at the blood on his hand with disbelief in his eyes...

Grandma Xia was so shocked by this scene that she opened her mouth wide, but couldn't make a sound.

Old Man Xia swung his sickle again, and Xia Fugui fell to the ground. His eyes were wide open, staring straight at the blinding sky, but he didn't even blink.

After killing the man, Old Man Xia came to his senses, released his strength, and sat down heavily on the ground. Looking at his second grandson, who was already dead, his old eyes were slightly moist. He never imagined that the first person he would kill in his life would be his own grandson.

Grandma Xia covered her mouth tightly, tears streaming down her face.

He's their own grandson, how could the old man...

How could this be!

Fu Gui!

half an hour.

"Let's pack our luggage again, take what we can carry, and leave the rest behind." The two of them have trouble walking, how could they possibly carry so much stuff?

The old man decisively decluttered.

The old woman was still in shock. Her beloved second grandson, whom she had cherished for over a decade, had been killed by his own grandfather! She simply couldn't accept it.

The shock was too great; she only managed to stay upright because she dared not faint. If she had, the old man would have abandoned her in this desolate mountain. She didn't even dare to wail and cry.

God, please let it rain!

People have been driven to the point of being unrecognizable!

Wiping away her tears, she helped Old Man Xia tidy up.

"Old man, can we find water?" If we can't, they'll all be dead.

"Yes, it must be possible!"

He even killed his grandson, he'll definitely survive! He has to survive!

After drinking some water and eating some grass roots to regain their strength, the two covered Xia Fugui with his own quilt and then left, supporting each other.

They're too weak to dig a hole, so let it be! In your next life, remember to find the right path and a family with money and food!

Don't blame him. Blame his own lack of filial piety and this cannibalistic world.

"Old man, look over there, the leaves over there are green!"

Old Xia's lips were cracked and bleeding from dryness; he had long since given up, and if his wife hadn't been supporting him, he would have collapsed long ago. His cloudy old eyes, barely open, were they green? Why couldn't he see? His wife was also failing; was she having hysteria?

"Old man, let's go over there, there must be water! Just hang in there!" Her voice was hoarse and soft. Her mouth was so dry that she couldn't even squeeze out a drop of saliva, and the skin around her lips was peeling and cracked. Her old eyes were fixed on the green spot she saw, their light gleaming.

She helped Old Man Xia along, step by step, towards that patch of green, her eyes filled with longing for water and food...

This time, they really found water!

"Old man, look, water, water! So much water!"

"Grandma Xia shouted excitedly!" Old Man Xia's eyes widened slightly. It really was water. It wasn't a hallucination, nor a dream; it was real water. Not just a small puddle, but a vast expanse of water, enough to keep him alive. His unsteady steps regained some strength. He shook off Grandma Xia, his legs trembling, and jogged towards the water source…

Water, oh water! Here I come!

This time, he's determined to drink to his heart's content, to drink to his heart's content, and to drink his fill...

Grandma Xia also struggled to walk towards the water source.

"Pfft!"

Old Man Xia collapsed to the ground, his eyes wide open, just like Xia Fugui's. However, while Xia Fugui's final expression was one of disbelief, Old Man Xia's was filled with joy and anticipation…

Old Mrs. Xia didn't notice the sound either; actually, she did hear it, but she didn't pay it any mind. Right now, nothing was more important than the water in front of her; she wanted to drink, she wanted to drink lots and lots of it…

After finally reaching the stream, I lay down and started drinking straight from my lips.

"Gulp, gulp..." He swallowed desperately.

It tastes so good! She felt like she hadn't drunk water so freely in a hundred years.

Hearing the commotion, Xia Fuxi, who was busy drying fish, quickly gathered everything he had just laid out into the cave and cautiously approached the stream. Who on earth had found this place?

Don't have too many people, otherwise they'll just get robbed or chased away.

Thinking about all the food in the cave that might be stolen, Xia Fuxi unconsciously tightened her grip on the stick. This was her and Lao Liu's home; no one could mess with it.

no one!

What about people?

"Old man!"

The old woman, having had her fill of water, finally realized that her husband, who had collapsed to the ground, was dead. Overwhelmed with grief, she cried out and fell to the ground.

We found water, why couldn't we wait a little longer? Just a little while and we'd have water to drink. That old man, his passing was so tragic and unbearable!

Good heavens, she'll be all alone from now on, how is she supposed to live?

Xia Fuxi was startled by the wail and almost dropped the stick in his hand.

I moved closer to the source of the sound and looked more closely; my jaw dropped.

It was her grandparents!

How did they get here? Is life in the village unbearable?

Hearing her grandmother's cries, it seemed her grandfather was gone, died of thirst, just as they arrived. She didn't know what to say; there was water right there, but she couldn't drink it.

Really...

Ugh!

The head of the household was also away, busy in the valley, and she didn't know whether she should show herself. Clearly, her grandmother wouldn't leave again and would stay here; the cave couldn't hide it from her, and it was only a matter of time before they ran into each other.

Xia Fuxi hesitated for a while, but finally decided to go out and meet people. No matter what, he had to bury his grandfather's body first.

"Milk!"

Who?

Old Mrs. Xia froze for a moment, then slowly raised her head and looked at the person in front of her. It was her eldest granddaughter, Xia Fuxi.

Staring at the girl in front of him, he hadn't seen her for a long time. She seemed to have grown taller and a little bit fatter. She looked like a young woman now.

"Fuxi, what are you doing here?"

The old woman, who thought she was all alone and would die in the mountains, felt much more at ease when she saw her eldest granddaughter. At least she had a relative who could take care of her.

Looking at the old man who had died, I was overcome with grief again. The old man was not blessed!

“I’ve always been here, Grandpa…”

“There was no water in the village, so we went into the mountains to find water. Your grandfather was almost here, but he still didn't make it, sob sob sob…”

Xia Fuxi didn't know how to comfort her grandmother. This death was indeed very unjust.

"Grandma, how about we bury Grandpa first?"

This isn't a good solution either, after all, this is a water source, which is extremely important to them. It's hot; they can't leave people here even for a day.

At this point in time, what's the point of worrying about the exact time or day? Just having a bad day is good enough.

Where to bury him?
