"Sanniang, please don't be like this. Niuniu is too young. She won't survive... Rather than letting her starve to death, it's better to exchange it for the hope of our whole family's survival!"

Chen Sanniang was equally stubborn and refused to let go. She kept hitting her husband's arm:

"You beast! How can you say such inhumane words! This is our daughter!"

"Let her go, let my daughter go! If someone has to go, let me go! I can get more meat in return!"

The two children on the kang bed also heard their parents' conversation. They struggled to get up from the bed, came over crying and hugged their mother:

"No, I don't want my mother to go!"

"Sister, don't go either! We want to be together as a family!"

Listening to what his wife and sons said, tears finally fell from Ding Fengnian's eyes and his arms loosened.

He let his wife take their daughter back, and he was completely depressed:

"Forget it, if no one goes, our whole family will die together."

"Anyway, in this world, if we survive this year, we don't know what next year will be like. We might as well just die together."

Hearing this, Chen Sanniang looked up at her husband, whose face was filled with despair but calm, and snuggled up to him while hugging her daughter:

"Okay, the whole family will die together, and we will be in order in the underworld so that no one will miss anyone else."

The family returned to the kang bed again, huddled together to maintain the precious warmth, quietly waiting for death to come.

Not long after, the wooden door of the room was knocked, and Ding Fengnian slowly got out of bed and opened the door.

When he saw that the person who came was Zhou Dayuan, with whom he had agreed to trade, he pushed the person out directly:

"I'm sorry, I won't change it!"

Having said that, he was about to close the door.

Zhou Dayuan, on the other hand, had a very happy expression on his face:

"What do you want to change? I'm here to tell you good news! No need to change! The Grand Master will come to distribute food to us this afternoon, and we can all survive!"

"Grand Imperial Master? Distribute food?"

Ding Fengnian was a little confused.

"That's right. We have been told by our superiors to take our sacks and go to Yunlai to collect food this afternoon!"

Ding Fengnian's family didn't know who the Grand Imperial Master was. They only knew that food was about to be distributed, and they all cheered up from their despair.

“It’s time to distribute food!”

"We can survive!"

Happy smiles appeared on the frail faces of the family.

Although Dushibao was more than twenty miles away from Yunlaiso, it was difficult to travel due to the ice and snow, and they didn't even know how much food they could get.

But as long as we send some, it is the hope of survival.

Although life in this world is difficult, who wants to die as long as they can still be alive?

*

Yunlaiso was a troop of 1,000 households with a rated force of 1,120 men, but the actual number was about 800.

When Ding Fengnian and others braved the wind and snow and trudged all the way to the training ground of Yunlai Institute, many people had already gathered there.

Everyone was asking each other what the grain distribution was all about.

But the more I inquired, the more disheartened I became.

The superiors didn't say how much each household would receive, nor did they see any food being transported in. They just asked everyone to gather at this time.

"It's almost time, and no one has brought in the food. We're not going to make a wasted trip, are we?"

"No, definitely not!"

"Yes, no matter how evil those superiors are, they would never play tricks on us like this!"

"That's right. They can't afford to cause a mutiny!"

Everyone comforted each other.

Until the last moment, I am unwilling to give up this hard-earned hope.

Just when everyone was filled with anxiety and uncertainty, a dazzling white light appeared in the open space in front of the training ground.

Everyone's attention was drawn to it.

"Everyone look! What is that!"

The white light gradually disappeared, and a Taoist priest in a white Taoist robe appeared inside.

In the biting cold wind, he was only wearing an extremely thin robe with wide sleeves. The wide sleeves and hem fluttered in the wind. He had an awe-inspiring aura that made people involuntarily feel awe.

Is this a fairy?

Everyone couldn't help but think this way.

At this moment, a cold voice clearly rang in everyone's ears:

"I am the Venerable Du'e, and also the former Grand Master of the Great Wei. I am here to distribute disaster relief supplies to everyone."

It turns out that this is the Grand Imperial Master.

Ding Fengnian thought to himself.

But what does once mean?

But soon, he no longer had the heart to think about it.

Because this immortal-like Du'e Venerable announced:
