Rebirth, end of the world, time travel, escape famine, make money!

It was a high mountain with a winding dirt road. On the hillside, three or four rows of cave dwellings were arranged like terraces, and there were almost six or seven rows of cave dwellings in one row.

Looking further ahead, there are more cave dwellings, and it feels like this village is not small.

As they got closer, they gradually felt the atmosphere of life where people used to live, even though the village was now deserted.

Occasionally, a breeze blew, blowing the dead trees and grass, making a sizzling sound, making this quiet village even more eerie.

Continuing forward, they found a small hill at the end of the village.

There is a path on the mountain leading to the top of the mountain.

"Mom and Dad, I'll go up first and check on the situation one by one. You guys walk slowly behind me. There's no rush. Don't get tired."

Liu Caixia ran up first and looked around. There was no one there. She also looked around the caves and chose a bigger and cleaner cave. She asked others to go up. The cave she chose was in the third row. This position allowed her to observe the situation below without being discovered by passersby.

"Mom and Dad, come over here! I looked around and there is indeed no one here. There is no usable furniture in these caves. There are only beds and stoves made of yellow earth bricks left here. There are only some wooden furniture left occasionally, but they are already covered with dust. It is estimated that no one has lived here for a long time."

Others also found it very strange. Where had they come to? You have to know that in modern society, no matter how poor and backward a place is, it would not be like this. These cave dwellings are too dilapidated.

"Everyone, let's take a break! I looked around but couldn't find any useful information."

"Yeah, this place is really desolate! So weird!"

The location chosen by Liu Caixia has a very good view. They can see what is happening below through the embankment in front of the cave entrance, but the people below cannot see what is happening in the cave.

The location is relatively safe.

The land around the cave was dry and cracked, and looked desolate. Fortunately, there were no monsters or corpses. In this weather, a corpse would have been too smelly, and would have easily rotted and grown maggots, making it easy for people to get infected and become sick.

The land around the cave is dry and cracked, which may be caused by a long-term lack of water and nutrients. The barrenness of the fields also suggests that the people here may have left the land for some reason.

As for those raised mounds, it is indeed possible that they were places where people buried their bodies, as you thought. However, we cannot easily draw conclusions without solid evidence.

After all, these mounds could also be caused by other natural or human factors. Under these weather conditions, if there really is a corpse, it is indeed easy to produce odor and decay, which may cause disease.

Overall, the scene feels bleak and unsettling.

We can also see the fragility and tenacity of life from it.

I hope this land can recover its vitality soon.

After a few people rested in the cave for a while, the sky gradually darkened, the sun set and the moon rose.

Liu Caixia arranged. "Everyone, prepare to rest here for one night. There is a straw shed outside the cave house, and there is an earthen stove under the shed. You can go and pick up some firewood and cook some porridge in the evening. Everyone, have a good rest and we'll make plans tomorrow."

"Xiao Lu, you and grandpa and grandma prepare the food and take it out of the space. Aunt Zhang will help cook to protect them, and I will go to a place farther away to check the situation."

"Okay, then you be careful!" Father Liu warned.

Jiang Xiaolu took out an outdoor camping pot from the space, hung up the two ears with wire, and built a rack so that she could directly make a fire and cook underneath.

Sister Zhang went to get a lot of dry grass and branches and waited for the firewood to come back and light the fire.

After the porridge was cooked, Liu's father and mother prepared two air mattresses and two double beds. Liu's father and mother slept together, and the other three squeezed together. Sister Zhang helped with the cooking. When she saw the bed arranged by Liu's father, she said, "Uncle and aunt, I will sleep outside tonight. Caixia and I can take turns to keep watch!"

Father Liu said, "I will join the night watch at night, so that everyone can sleep a little longer. We can take turns! I will take Xiaolu to rest!"

"That's fine. Let's wait until Caixia comes back. What I want is that you can drive during the day and we can take a rest!"

"I don't even know if I can drive on this road. It's too broken and full of potholes. I don't know where the highway is."

"Yeah, it's really too difficult to just walk!"

"If there is no other choice, we can only drive through the river. It's a bit shaky, but it's better than walking!"

After Liu Caixia came back, she also said, "Dad, the situation is similar everywhere around here. I walked along the river for a long distance and saw the same situation everywhere. But when I walked further to a fork in the road, I saw some people. They were dressed in rags and were very strange. I didn't dare to get too close. It was not easy to ask people about the situation in my current attire. Fortunately, it was dark, so I found a place to hide and eavesdrop quietly. I vaguely heard them say, when will their escape from famine end! Does the court really not care about the lives of ordinary people like them? And so on.

Also, those mounds of earth are where the bodies are buried. When someone among them dies, they just dig a hole in the dirt nearby and bury them! And they all speak with an accent, so I can only guess and barely understand a little bit.”

"Okay, as long as there are no monsters, escaping from famine is a relatively simple matter for us. We are escaping from famine anyway."

Everyone is indeed a little tired today, feeling exhausted both physically and mentally.

I just wanted to eat and rest early. After that, we all tacitly did not discuss these issues. Anyway, since we were here, there was no need to rush to spend the night. After eating and drinking, Liu's father said, "Let's talk about it tomorrow. Let's have a good rest today. We have experienced everything and we are not afraid."

There is definitely no water in this place. In an environment with limited resources, it is very important to save water and food. Especially in such hot weather, keeping the body hydrated and full of energy is the key to survival.

They choose to use wet wipes instead of washing with water to clean their bodies, which is a wise decision that not only saves water resources but also meets basic cleaning needs.

Great care is also shown in the distribution and use of food, which helps ensure that the food can sustain your survival for longer.

In this situation, it is also very important to maintain an optimistic and positive attitude, because what they need to face now may not only be the current difficulties, but also the uncertainties of the future.

Liu Caixia is now doing things more and more organized, which makes her father feel relieved and he basically listens to her now.
