Chapter 707: Escape from Famine 12
Du Jincui stopped nagging about taking her children with her. She carried the chaff and rubbed her painful and swollen cheeks. She was afraid and chased after them, threatening them, "Mother, brother-in-law, since you insist on going home, I won't stop you, but you must take good care of Xiaowu and Xiaoyu. I only have these two children. If anything happens to them, I will not let you go."

"Let's go, what are you still standing there for?"

After Du Jincui gave the warning, she pulled Geng Dazhuang and said, "Do you still want to stay and go home with them?"

"There's nothing to eat at home. You'll just go back and wait to die." Geng Dazhuang's eyes fell on the half bag of bran in Yuanchun's hand.

Although the bran is difficult to swallow, eating it can save your life.

This half bag of bran would be enough for him to eat for half a month if he eats it sparingly, but... Geng Dazhuang's gaze turned to his son again.

He wouldn't care if his brother, niece, and nephew starved to death.

He didn't care if his mother and daughter starved to death.

But he didn't want his only son to starve to death.

If his son starves to death, who will he rely on for his old age?
He died, who smashed the pot for him?
Besides, my mother was too powerful, so he didn’t dare to take away all the bran.

So, the same quilt cannot cover two different people.

The couple actually wanted to go together.

But, he has the desire but not the courage to do it.

Geng Dazhuang gritted his teeth and said, "Mom, Dalin, take care of yourselves."

Then he said to his son, "Xiao Wu, you have to take good care of your grandma on behalf of Dad. If Dad finds food, Dad will definitely come back to pick you up. You must live well."

Then, turned and left.

Forget it, since Mother is going to take Xiao Wu and Xiao Yu home, then he can save food.

Not long after, everyone in Fengling Village left.

In the once bustling wilderness, only Yuanchun and eight others were left.

Three adults and five children.

"Mom, they're all gone, what should we do?" Geng Dalin was a little panicked, scanning the surroundings, fearing that a group of wolves would suddenly jump out.

"What are you afraid of, you coward? It's broad daylight, and the wolves won't dare to come down the mountain." Yuanchun said, standing up, taking out a kitchen knife from the cart, and directing Geng Dalin and his wife, "Second brother, you take the wooden barrel and follow me. Second brother's family, you empty one of the baskets, I need to put the things in it."

Then she looked at her grandchildren and said, "Follow grandma. I'll show you some good stuff."

Geng Xiaowu asked curiously, "Grandma, what is this good thing?"

Geng Xiaowen smacked his lips and asked, "Grandma, is this food?"

The three granddaughters also looked at her with anticipation and curiosity.

Yuanchun smiled, "It's something delicious and fun."

"I want to go see it with my grandma."

"I also need to go."

"And me, I'll go too."

"Let's go, let's all go."

"Mom, did you find something to eat?" Sun Chunfeng was surprised as he held an empty basket and looked back at the cart. "Mom, if we all leave, there will be no one to look after the cart. How about I stay and look after the cart?"

"Except for the people in our village, there is no one within a five-mile radius, so there is no need for guarding." Yuanchun, holding a kitchen knife and leading a few children, walked towards a bamboo tree as thick as a bowl.

Standing in front of the bamboo, Yuanchun said, "Second brother, come over with the wooden bucket and stand beside it, ready to get water at any time."

"Mom, where's the water?"

"Wait."

Yuanchun swung her sword at the bamboo.

There was a loud splash and water gushed out of the bamboo.

Geng Dalin subconsciously took the wooden bucket to catch the water. His heart was beating fast, and he said with surprise, "Mom, there is water in this bamboo. Does the bamboo in the back mountain of our village also have water?"

Several children shouted in surprise and excitement, "There is water, there is really water, Grandma, you are so great."

"Grandma, if we have water to drink, we won't die, right?"
