I went to the temple after traveling through time, and he turned out to be a monk!

The old man also knows that this world is not something that anyone can change easily.

He did not urge the silent Bai Zhi. As a girl, it was already very difficult for her to survive.

The old man's cough worsened, and the two children shouted in panic, "Grandpa! Grandpa, are you okay?"

The old man coughed for a long time before it gradually subsided. He waved his hand and said, "Grandpa is fine. Bring the girl a glass of water. You have robbed the girl's things and you must pay them back..."

Bai Zhi only felt bitter in her mouth.

He is a kind old man, he has a conscience, so he is a weak person and he cannot survive.

The children listened to their grandfather's words and brought water to Bai Zhi. Their hands were trembling slightly.

Bai Zhi raised her eyes and looked into their eyes, with fear and a little anger.

What are they angry about?

Maybe they were angry about why they had to bring water to a stranger, or angry that their grandfather was so soft-hearted, or something else...

There is only one thing Bai Zhi is sure about. From the time they can remember, everything in this world is based on burning, killing and looting. They will not understand the remaining conscience and final softness in their grandfather's heart.

Bai Zhi sighed invisibly, raised her hand to take the glass of water, and said: "Drink this glass of water, and the matter of you robbing me will be wiped out..."

The two children were a little stunned and looked at each other and then at the old man.

The old man squinted his eyes as if smiling, and then the two children heaved a sigh of relief at the same time.

Bai Zhi wanted to leave, but the old man persuaded her to stay, "Girl, please leave after dinner..."

"Do you still have food?" Bai Zhi asked this question with some confusion, but she saw several children who were furious at the same time, staring at Bai Zhi as if Bai Zhi was a robber.

The old man nodded and said to the children, "Go and bring it out..."

Several children were angry and impatient. They stamped their feet very unhappily, vented their anger on the floor, and dragged the old man's clothes, unwilling to get the food out.

The old man was a little fierce to them, and then they ran angrily and brought them a bowl of food, which was something like tree roots, similar to yams.

There are six sticks in the bowl, five children and one old man, which is just right.

Bai Zhi stood there at an inappropriate time, she felt a little regretful, why didn't she turn around and leave when the old man kept her?

The old man distributed the roots to several children, took the last one himself, and stretched out his hand to hand it to Bai Zhi.

Bai Zhi smiled and shook her head, "Old man, eat! I'm not hungry!"

The old man did not take back his hand, but kept holding it up. Bai Zhi refused to reach out and take it regardless of anything.

The old man himself was ill, so it was very difficult to maintain this movement. Seeing that Bai Zhi still didn't move, he put down his hand when he couldn't hold on anymore.

He lowered his head and sighed, and then said to the five children, "You go out first, and grandpa will talk to the girl for a while..."

The children stared at Bai Zhi, walked out of the door warily, and lay at the door with their ears pricked up to eavesdrop.

The old man waved to Bai Zhi. Seeing that it was difficult for him to move, Bai Zhi had no choice but to sit over and sit on the small stool beside his bed.

"Don't be afraid, girl, it's just a piece of tree root, so feel free to eat it. I don't want to use this root to be kind to you, or blackmail you with kindness. I just hope that you will be full and escape from this tannin." City, flee far away..."

Bai Zhi felt sad. She really felt that a tree root in this famine was too heavy.

This is a life-threatening thing. If she eats it, others will not have to eat it. And when she took this bite, it meant that she had to shoulder a responsibility that was far more than just a mouthful of food.

The old man saw her hesitation. After a lifetime, the eyes cannot see clearly and the eyes become cloudy, but they become sharper.

He could tell a person's character at a glance, and he took a fancy to the girl in front of him.

He knew it was despicable, and his conscience was condemning him.

But there are some things he must do, and he must be despicable!

The old man began to tell Bai Zhi about the past, "I used to have a daughter about the same age as you. She was married and gave birth to two children. The family lived in harmony and happiness, but they encountered this world... She was robbed by bandits, and her husband's family was also killed by bandits..."

"My heart aches. I was complaining about this damn world, and I was so disheartened, but I met these children. How old are they? I was still at the age where I was crying in the arms of my parents, but my family was ruined..."

"Hey! I don't want the girl to die tragically at the hands of bandits like my daughter. The girl is just one of the children I helped, so she can eat, but I don't want her to repay any kindness. After eating, I leave Danning City, or Many people have run away! They may have lived a good life. Girl, you can run away too. Run away, find a solid family to marry, and live a safe and smooth life. This is my biggest wish..."

The old man's words seemed a little confused.

"I'm sick and I don't have long to live. What's the use of eating so much!"

"This tree root also came from a bad origin. The children killed someone and snatched it back... and it made them miserable!"

The old man was confused and spoke sincerely. As he talked, he stuffed the cold roots into Bai Zhi. Bai Zhi didn't eat it, so he continued talking. He kept telling Bai Zhi that he didn't ask for anything. He just wanted Bai Zhi to eat. I have a good idea of ​​​​escape.

Bai Zhi couldn't resist, so she split the tree root in two and gave the big one to the old man, "Old man, I can't eat it alone, let's eat together..."

The old man took a breath, and then he could no longer breathe. He almost used all his strength to say so many words to Bai Zhi.

He was already suffering from an old and sick body, he was just too tired! So hungry! It hurts so much!

The final result was one person and half. He was not satisfied with this result, but he had no choice but to do so.

He looked at Bai Zhi one by one, his conscience aching. She was just a little girl, what could she do!

It's not Bai Zhi. This half of the tree root is simply like the smoky sky, which makes people breathless.

But what can she do?

She was also sold into a brothel. She was helpless. She didn't even have a home and had to find her own children.

She wanted to go to Beiyuan to find Mili for help, but it was not close to Beiyuan. Besides, Beiyuan was also a place of turmoil. There were bandits all along the way, so it was difficult to think about it!

But she was indeed hungry, and she couldn't resist her instinct.

Gently tearing open the bark of the tree root, she stuffed the root into her mouth. It was not the taste of yam as she imagined. Although it was not bitter, it was astringent, with a lot of juice and a lot of stems, which was strange for her teeth.

She remembered that day at the brothel, Hua Yun invited her to pick up the guests together, and even said he would share half a chicken with her.

Now think about it, what a kind-hearted person she is! Give her half a chicken! You are the one who knows no good!

After eating, she was still a little angry with herself for being so greedy? Eat food from other people's sick and old people!

After being angry, there was nothing she could do, so she said goodbye to the old man and the child, and thanked them for giving her a mouthful of tree roots.

The old man didn’t keep me!

She walked into the ghost town-like streets again, hiding, not knowing what to do!

She wanted to go south of the Danning River, where the security should be better. She could always exchange a few travel expenses and buy some food to escape from the city.

But she got lost in the city and couldn't even find anyone to ask for directions.

Occasionally she would see groups of people. These people were talking and laughing. They were not afraid at all. They were clearly thieves!

She could only hide, and if she faced him, she would be raped first and then killed!

What a hell! What a hell! What a hell!

She hid in a nook and cranny somewhere, cursing secretly in her heart. I feel uncomfortable no matter what, and my mouth always feels astringent.

Could it be that the roots of the tree are poisonous? Paralyzed her tongue!

She also felt that there were still remnants of tree roots in the gaps between her teeth, and she couldn't pick them out without a toothpick, which was annoying! Anxious!

Such emotions filled Bai Zhi's brain, making it difficult for her to think calmly.

Just hiding like this, it’s getting dark!

The old man said that when it gets dark, people will die!
