Farming Space: The Lucky and Lovely Lady Come to Farm

Chapter 270 Just pretend they are still alive

Gu Fei twitched the corner of his mouth, Qian couldn't even bear to light the lamp. He didn't know what he was doing sitting in the room with a dark lamp.

After a while, Gu Zhong lit a lamp and took it to the main room, where they all found a place to sit down.

 The old lady also came out of the room.

Xing'er hurriedly knocked on the door of the wing, "Sister, brother-in-law, and uncle are here to see you. Get up quickly."

Tao'er and Fugui finally arrived home after traveling thousands of miles. After eating and taking a bath, they felt relaxed and both of them fell asleep in the house.

Hearing Xing'er's shout, Tao'er quickly stood up, casually brushed her hair, and then helped Fugui out.

When Gu Zhang saw the two people coming, he pointed to the meat and eggs with brown sugar on the table, "This is something your second aunt found from home to help you and Fugui replenish their health."

Tao'er quickly said: "Thank you, uncle and aunt, for thinking about it."

While it was busy, my uncle came in from the door, followed closely by Mr. Zhang, who also came with a rice bowl. He just came back and heard that Tao'er was here, so he came to take a look.

Aunt Liu couldn't wait any longer and asked impatiently: "Tao'er, I'm asking you, when did you come out of the house? Did you look at my brother and my sister?"

Tao'er waved her hand, "I didn't watch it, but I heard about it."

Aunt Liu said eagerly: "What did you hear?"

Tao'er sighed, "I heard what others said, but I don't know if it's true."

"My brother said that he got some grain from somewhere. He went to the edge of the river and was beaten to death. The grain was also taken away, and no one went to collect the body."

Aunt Liu was stunned for a long time, and slowly shed tears. She just had such a brother, and he was gone.

The village chief patted the mother-in-law on the back, feeling very uncomfortable.

Aunt Liu cried for a while and then asked, "What about my nephews?"

Taohua shook her head, "I don't know, I haven't seen it."

At this time, Fugui weakly leaned on a chair and said, "Madam, don't ask, there's no point in asking. Just pretend that they are all still alive, just can't see them, and you'll feel better."

"Tao'er and I came out on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month with my mother and two children."

“Spring has begun and there is still not a drop of rain, and there is no way to grow food.”

“Besides, I can’t help but come out. There is really nothing to eat at home. Not only our family is like this, but every household has nothing to eat.”

“Every grass root around the village has been dug up.”

"Chen Dahu in our village had food at home, but a group of people from several nearby villages came and robbed his home. Chen Dahu's wife and son were also beaten to death. Chen Dahu and his daughter also followed us. We ran away together."

Fugui took a breath and said, "In short, there are no people in the nearby counties. Every household has come out to escape the famine."

“You’ll eat everything along the way, including snakes, insects, rats, and ants. You’re lucky if you can find one.”

“It’s considered good if half of the people in a family can survive.”

“On this road, the most common thing we see are dead people!”

He paused for a while, with a numb look on his face, "My mother, my two children are gone. If Tao'er and I weren't still young, we wouldn't be able to endure it."

“Originally, we couldn’t walk anymore when we arrived in Huainan County. At least there was no drought there, and we could still get a bite to eat.”

“Isn’t this because my parents-in-law told me about Safe City, so I struggled to get here.”

"Fortunately, my life should not be cut off. I just arrived here yesterday and I found my family today."

After Fugui finished speaking, Taoer cried softly beside him.
