Chapter 1: to be left behind

   Chapter 1 was abandoned

   "Take these things and get out."

   A small cloth bag smashed onto the ground in front of Gu Yundong, and the mouth of the bag opened, revealing a dozen or so shriveled small potatoes inside.

  Gu Yundong leaned on the big rock behind him, his face pale and weak. She raised her head and met a woman's mean face.

   She also finally figured out her current situation—she had traveled through, from the last days when zombies were rampant, to the Kingdom of Jin, and put it on a thirteen-year-old peasant girl with the same name and surname. A father, a mother, and a pair of younger siblings.

   In the 17th year of Hongqing, the Yongning Prefecture had no harvest due to drought, and the people were struggling to make a living. A large number of refugees began to migrate to the nearby state capitals to seek life. And their big family is now on the way to escape from the famine, and it has been more than half a month since they left Yongning Mansion.

The person in front of    who threw the potatoes at her with a charitable expression was Mrs. Zhao, the grandmother of the original owner. There were more than ten people from the second uncle and the third uncle standing next to them, all of them indifferently watching the team of four of their family who were driven out of the desert.

  Gu Yundong didn't have any strength on his body, this was because he had been hungry for a long time, his head was still in a dizzy state, and he couldn't even straighten his body a little. She looked away, ignoring the Zhao family, her eyes swept over the second uncle and third uncle's family who were standing on the sidelines, and finally fell on the old man Gu who was sitting on the stone.

  The milk is the step-grandmother, the grandfather, but the real grandfather.

The old man Gu was a little uncomfortable when she saw Lingling's clear eyes, he coughed lightly, and after a while he sighed softly, "Yun Dong, don't blame us, it's really difficult for everyone, our There is not much food. You don’t have strong labor in this room, and your mother is an idiot. She can’t help anything except sleep and eat. The world is too chaotic, and everyone can’t even take care of their own families. Come on, you guys, just ask yourselves to be blessed. This bag of potatoes is enough for your mothers to support you for two days. Then you can figure out your own way. Whether you can survive or not is also God's will."

   Gu Yundong secretly sneered, she has lived in the end times for two years, and she has long experienced the sinister nature of human nature. Old Man Gu is not afraid of being struck by thunder when he clearly does something evil and still finds excuses to pass it on to God. It's a pity that she doesn't have the strength now, otherwise where would he let him talk nonsense here?

   She was disdainful. But a small figure beside him stubbornly wiped his eyes and said with a choked voice, "We have strong labor, my father will disappear to lure away rogues, he will come back, you, you... "

  Gu Yundong knew that he was the original owner's younger brother, Gu Yunshu, who was only five years old this year, but he looked only three or four years old.

  The original owner's father is Gu Dajiang. Two days ago, they encountered a group of robbers. Gu Dajiang and second uncle Gu Dahe acted as bait to draw the rogue's attention and give them a chance to escape. Later, Gu Dahe came back, but Gu Dajiang disappeared. In the eyes of everyone, Gu Dajiang was most likely killed by the gang of rogues.

   Little Gu Yunshu refused to believe it, he felt that his father was still alive and would definitely come back.

Old Man Gu didn't want to say more, he just waved his hand and said, "Okay, that's it, take care of yourself." After a pause, he couldn't bear his grandson, and asked Gu Yunshu, "I can still bring you, Otherwise, you should come with us."

   was unhappy, "What to bring? Our own food is not enough, his share is gone. If we have to follow, we will find food and eat soil..."

   Before she could finish her sentence, Gu Yunshu had already grabbed Gu Yundong's hand, the corners of her mouth were clenched tightly, "I'm with my eldest sister."

  Gu Yundong subconsciously drew back her hand, she was not used to having physical contact with people. Especially in the last days, it has become almost instinct to guard against people approaching. But she doesn't have the strength now, the little boy was holding her fingers tightly as if he was afraid that he would be separated.

   Because of this, Gu Yundong could clearly feel his small, thin and trembling hands, she pursed her lips, and finally said nothing.

   Old Man Gu was stimulated by Gu Yunshu's evasive attitude, and stood up angrily, "As you wish."

After    finished speaking, he left with Zhao and others.

  Mother Yang, who had been standing beside her, was confused. She was still carrying a backpack with a three-year-old girl in it. She was sleeping drowsily. Such a big movement failed to wake her up.

Seeing that Old Man Gu and his group left, Yang shi also followed a few steps at a loss. When he looked back, he saw that Gu Yundong and Gu Yunshu were still there, and hurried back, crouched beside her and asked inexplicably, "Dongdong ?? Go, go..."

   Yang's brain is not very good, but she also recognizes people. She still hasn't figured out that her mother and daughter were abandoned by the Gu family, she just wondered why the Gu family didn't wait for them.

  Gu Yundong is still recovering her strength, she is struggling to speak now, and she has no patience to explain. On the contrary, Gu Yunshu comforted Yang in a low voice, "Mother, eldest sister is tired, let's go later." The eldest sister fainted before, and because of this, grandma finally had an excuse to leave their family.

   Gu Yunshu was worried, his father was away, the eldest sister was sick again, the mother was ignorant, and the younger sister was even weaker and had no strength. He is now the only male in the family. Although he is only five years old, he also has the responsibility of taking care of his family.

  Gu Yunshu worked hard to straighten his small body, and then looked at Gu Yundong who closed his eyes and rested.

   At this time, Gu Yundong was very happy. She had survived for a year in the last days, and she almost had the mentality that one day is one day if she could live. Although this place is also in a chaotic world, at least there are no zombies, no mutated animals and plants here. After the disaster, her life will slowly improve, and the future here is full of hope.

   As for the original owner's family... In the end, they gave her a chance to be reborn. As long as they don't cause her trouble, Gu Yundong will repay her and won't leave them behind.

   Just thinking about it, the sound of hurried footsteps suddenly came from my ears.

   She raised her head slightly, and saw her second uncle Gu Dahe, who had left and returned.
