The sun finally fell into the horizon, but the scorching heat still remained on the earth. Mrs. An looked at the village where she had lived for decades with nostalgia, and reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes. She couldn't bear to part with it.
."Aunt An, it's time to go!"
In the crowd, Mrs. Li shouted to Mrs. An, "If you don't go, the road up the mountain will be difficult after dark. Let's go, don't look."
"Okay, here we come!"
Mrs. An moved her lips that were bursting and bleeding due to lack of water, and when she turned around, she changed into a relaxed and happy look, "I'm here."
After she came over, Mrs. Li patted her shoulder and sighed, "Don't look at it. It makes you sad. For those of us who have been abandoned and cannot be used, the mountains are our final destination. Let's go."
Mrs. An raised a sad smile, "Well, let's go."
"Aunt Li, our kilns are next to each other. We have been talking these days. If whoever leaves first, the person who leaves later will help the person who leaves first to block the entrance of the kiln. How about that? I don't want to
When they die, they become food for rats.”
Mrs. Li sneered, "Your body looks stronger than mine. Don't worry, I will definitely die before you."
"That's not certain," Mrs. An sighed. "At our age, it would be better if we died, so as not to drag our children down, we just hope that they can be safe."
Mrs. Li shook her head, "We have agreed that we will never worry about our children again. Look at you, what are you thinking about? Don't think about it anymore. If you ask me, if you think about them, you might as well pray for heavy rain in the next few days. Maybe we can get back together again."
How many years to live.”
Mrs. An looked at the gorgeous sunset on the horizon, with a wry smile on her face, "It's impossible to rain, the sun will still be bright tomorrow."
Everyone was silent, sadness was flowing in the air, and the last bit of hope was shattered by this beautiful sunset. "Aunt An!"
A clear and loud shout sounded from behind everyone. Mrs. An turned around and looked at the woman slowly walking towards her under the sunset, her eyes were a little dazed, "Aren't you already gone?"
When Lin Jiuniang walked towards her, she shook her head and said, "I'm not leaving."
"Why don't you leave?"
Mrs. An murmured, suddenly becoming excited, and immediately started to chase her away, "Jiuniang, before the water in your house is exhausted, take your children and leave here quickly. Go quickly, don't stay here any longer."
To die of thirst is to die of hunger, so leave quickly."
Lin Jiuniang didn't say anything, she just took out the silver bracelet, put it on her again, and sighed, "Go home, there is no end to the road."
Mrs. An stopped her and wanted to take off the bracelet and return it to Lin Jiuniang, but she was held down by Lin Jiuniang. Then she gave up and watched with a wry smile as Lin Jiuniang opened her mouth full of blood scabs, "Jiuniang,
God has blocked the road."
"There's nothing to eat or drink at home. Now I just want to see if I die. Now I don't have to ask anyone to collect my body when I go up the mountain. It's good."
"That's right, Jiuniang, we are all old bones. We can't escape. If we die, we will die. It doesn't matter. But you are still young and still have the strength. Take your children and leave here quickly. Maybe
You can still save a life."
Mrs. Li's words were echoed by everyone, and they all urged her to leave quickly. Lin Jiuniang shook her head, "If we leave now, we may not be able to get out. The affected area is very large. If we walk on our legs, we may not be able to get out in half a month.
If you can't get out, you will die, so it's better to stay here and think of a solution."
Then he sighed and said, "Come back with me. I asked Shiro to make dinner for you. Ants can still survive, let alone humans. Why should you give up if you can live?"
Everyone still refused, it was not easy for anyone, and they did not want to implicate Lin Jiuniang. But in the end, Lin Jiuniang persuaded them and took them home. There were fourteen people in total. They were either abandoned by their families, or they were at home.
It was too late to open the pot. Although Lin Jiuniang told them to eat freely without worrying about not having enough food, everyone only put two or three mouthfuls of food into their own bowls. As long as they had one mouthful to eat, they could survive, let alone two or three mouthfuls now.
, that’s enough. Lin Jiuniang couldn’t stand it anymore, so she walked over and grabbed the spoon, and poured a full spoonful of konjac, tofu and wild vegetables into Mrs. Li’s bowl. “Jiuniang, it’s too... too much, you don’t need so much,”
Mrs. Li was panicked. "Eat," Lin Jiuniang said in one simple word, so crisply that she couldn't say it clearly. The next person followed with a big spoon... After everyone dispersed, and only Mrs. An was left, Mrs. An sighed.
After taking a breath, "Jiuniang, you don't have to worry about us."
Thinking of the only tank of water left in Lin Jiuniang's house, Mrs. An felt a little guilty. "So, I have to watch you go to the 'send to death kiln' to wait for death?"
Lin Jiuniang shook her head, reached out and patted her shoulder, "Don't think so much. Since I asked you to come back, I will find a way to help you get through this difficulty."
She hates the 'Kiln of Death', she hates sitting around and waiting to die. This bad habit should not exist. Why do you have to go to the 'Kiln of Death' to wait for death when you are old and useless? Why don't you think about it when you encounter a natural disaster?
Instead of saving herself, she has to wait for death in the "Kiln for Death"? And why are the abandoned people all old? Why in the eyes of these people, the "Kiln for Death" is the final destination? She refuses to accept it! She wants Anle Village
Everyone looked at it, even if it is a natural disaster, as long as you want to live, you will not necessarily die, and the 'death kiln' should not exist. After seeing off Mrs. An, she turned around and saw Liu Sanni and Liu Silang staring at each other.
Himself. But she ignored it and started to pack things. Liu Silang put down the book in his hand and ran over to help. With a touch of sadness on his face, he said, "Mom, there is only one tank of water at home, do we really not leave?"
Lin Jiuniang raised her eyebrows, "Why, are you worried about starving to death here? Or are you worried about dying of thirst here? Don't worry, as long as I'm here, I guarantee that you will all live well."
"Mother, I'm not worried about this," Liu Silang shook his head, "What I'm worried about is, mother, if you keep taking care of them eating and drinking, the food can last for a while, but the water is not enough. Judging from today's consumption. This tank
The water needs to be kept in check for two days at most."
"Who told you that I have to keep them forever?"
Lin Jiuniang sneered, "Am I such a stupid person?"
Haha, it is impossible to take care of them to eat and drink all the time. How is it possible now that there is a drought? Moreover, if she really wants to keep them alive, she will raise a bunch of white-eyed wolves. She
But she's not that stupid. It's better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish. She can teach them how to live, but she will never be stupid enough to feed them. Why? Liu Silang's eyes lit up, "Mom, did you think of it?
How to survive?"
He said that his mother was the smartest. "There is no other way, how dare I take you to stay?"
Lin Jiuniang's eyes narrowed dangerously, and she reached out and hit him on the head without mercy, "Why, do you suspect that I want to starve you to death?"
"without!"
Liu Silang shook his head quickly and ran away to pack his things, "Mom, you rest, I'll clean it up."
Lin Jiuniang shook her head. When she was about to clean up the kitchen, she inadvertently saw two figures passing by outside the door. She raised her eyebrows. Why are they here?
