Transmigrated into a seven-year-old child, my fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens.

"But I'm hungry and can't sleep!" Liu Yao said, looking aggrieved.

Jiang Si pulled Liu Yao into her arms, patting her back affectionately, and said softly, "Be good, listen to me! Let's close our eyes and go to sleep. You can dream about anything!"

She was hungry too, but there was nothing to eat right now, so she could only comfort Liu Yao in this way, and at the same time, she was also comforting herself.

Probably exhausted, Liu Yao closed her eyes and went to sleep.

"Ah~"

Zhao Lian immediately felt extremely uncomfortable and couldn't sit still any longer. She couldn't just sit there and wait to die; she had to go out and take another walk to see if she could find something to eat.

After telling Yan Guihua and the others, Zhao Lian went out.

……

Two miles away, a man was helping a pregnant woman walk. The woman did not look well. This was Chen Min and Li Gang, the young couple.

Since parting ways with Zhao Lian and the others, the young couple had been following closely behind them. Because there were so many people fleeing famine, and they were also busy getting on their way, Zhao Lian didn't notice them.

Li Gang was getting anxious: "Min'er, can we go faster? We've fallen far behind, and we don't even know where the Liu family is."

Chen Min was panting heavily, feeling that every step she took had exhausted all her strength.

Apart from the snake porridge I ate a few days ago and the wild vegetable porridge I ate later, I've been surviving on the little water that Li Gang brought back these past few days.

"Li Gang, I'm so tired, I can't walk anymore. Can we rest for a while?" Chen Min frowned and held her stomach, looking extremely uncomfortable.

"Min'er, let's hold on a little longer and walk a bit further." Li Gang didn't notice Chen Min's discomfort and kept urging her on.

"no!"

Chen Min shook her head, panting, "I really can't go on. I have no strength, and my stomach hurts a bit."

Chen Min didn't want to say it unless she was truly unable to continue. These past few days of traveling had pushed her body to its limit, and she felt like she was just barely holding on every day.

Especially in the last two days, Chen Min felt unwell all over her body, and even after resting, she still felt the same way.

Not only that, she also felt that the baby in her belly was moving less and less frequently.

Because it was her first pregnancy, she didn't know if this was normal or not, and she didn't tell Chen Gang for fear of worrying him.

Chen Gang, being a rather careless man, didn't notice anything amiss with Chen Min unless she pointed it out.

"Ah? Are you okay?"

Chen Gang looked at the sky and then around. The sky was gradually getting dark, and there were fewer people on the road. Many people had found a place to stay before dark.

Along the way, Chen Gang was so focused on catching up with the Liu family that he didn't know where they were at the moment.

It was getting dark, but the place was too open and there was no shelter, so it wasn't suitable for staying overnight.

Chen Gang hesitated for a moment, then looked at Chen Min with a worried expression: "Why don't we walk a little further? Look at that tree not far away, why don't we go there and rest?"

Chen Min looked in the direction Li Gang pointed. The tree was probably 200 meters away. If she walked there, she didn't know how long it would take.

However, Chen Min forced herself to nod despite her discomfort: "Okay!"

After walking about several dozen meters, Chen Min felt sweating all over, her heart was racing and her hands were trembling. What was even more frightening was that she felt a dragging sensation in her abdomen and experienced waves of pain.

"No! My stomach hurts so much." Chen Min swayed as she tried to fall. At the same time, she felt a bloating and warmth in her lower abdomen, like the feeling of menstruation.

Could it be that she's starting to bleed?

Chen Min's face turned deathly pale. The baby in her belly was less than seven months along, and if she started bleeding, the baby might not survive.

Li Gang was shocked. He finally realized that something was wrong with Chen Min and quickly helped her sit down. "Min'er, what's wrong? Don't scare me!"

"Li Gang, my stomach hurts!"

Seeing Chen Min's pained expression, Li Gang immediately regretted his carelessness: "Min'er, why didn't you say you weren't feeling well sooner! Sigh~ It's my fault, I was only focused on getting on the road and forgot that you were unwell."

Chen Min reached into her pants, touched her fingers, and took them out to look. She saw blood on her hand and was so frightened that she almost fainted.

Chen Min's breathing was rapid, her chest heaving. She gripped Chen Gang's shirt with one hand and frowned. "Li Gang, I can't grow old with you in this life. I can't even have a child with you. I'm so useless!"

"what!!!"

Li Gang was now terrified, tears welling in his eyes. He shook Chen Min's shoulders, saying, "Min'er, how are you? Don't scare me. You promised to marry me, and I haven't married you yet! Also, our child hasn't been born yet. You absolutely cannot die."

"Haha~"

Chen Min smiled weakly: "I'm really useless. I'm afraid I'll have to break my promise." With that, she closed her eyes and fainted.

"Min'er, Min'er~"

Li Gang shook Chen Min's shoulders and called out loudly, but Chen Min's eyes remained tightly closed.

Just then, more pedestrians walked by, and everyone glanced at them before continuing on their way.

We've witnessed too many partings and deaths along the way. Nobody knows if they'll be next. These days, it's good enough to be able to protect yourself; nobody can take care of anyone else.

As another family passed by, Li Gang put Chen Min down and rushed over, bowing deeply: "Brother, please have mercy, is there any water? Please save my wife."

"No, no!" The man shook his head indifferently and quickly walked forward with his wife and children.

He stopped several pedestrians in a row, but everyone was afraid they couldn't get away in time, and Chen Gang was in despair.

Seeing that Chen Min was still unconscious, he could only hold her and wail: "Waaaah~ Min'er, wake up! You promised me that you would marry me and grow old together, how could you leave me like this?"

Zhao Lian was wandering around the mountain when she unexpectedly discovered a few more Nephrolepis cordifolia. Just as she dug up the fern eggs and put them in her pocket, she noticed that the ground in the valley not far away was damp, and her hand was wet when she touched it.

Zhao Lian had an idea and quickly grabbed a knife to dig. After digging less than 50 centimeters, she was pleasantly surprised to find water. The water slowly seeped into the soil and began to accumulate.

Overjoyed, Zhao Lian immediately intensified her digging efforts. Just then, she suddenly heard a man's mournful cry, which immediately caught her attention.

Zhao Lian stood up and looked down. The sky was gradually darkening, and she couldn't see very clearly, but she could still see two figures not far from the foot of the mountain.

"Min'er?"

Zhao Lian, with her sharp ears, heard the man calling Min'er's name, and her heart skipped a beat.

Could the Min'er they're talking about be Chen Min? Chen Min is pregnant, and if anything happens to her, it could mean the death of both mother and child.

This child hasn't even had a chance to see the world yet. She herself was a mother in her past life, and she can't bear to see this.

If the other party really is Chen Min, and she knows about it, she can't just stand by and watch someone die.

Thinking of this, Zhao Lian didn't bother digging anymore. She wiped her hands with some wild grass and then ran down the mountain.
