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

In the faint moonlight, Liu Caixia ran from one side of the hillside to another mound on the side of the road and hid there. As expected, the men did not notice her and continued talking.

"I don't know how long it will take to get to Xiping County. The villages along the way are all empty. Sigh, fewer and fewer people have fled to escape famine. I don't know if I can get into the city to exchange for more food and water when I get to Xiping Town."

"Yes, Xiping County is where the capital of the Northwest Province is located. I hope it will be better. The local officials in those small counties really don't care about the lives of us ordinary people. Someone in the previous town said that the court allocated silver and food for disaster relief.

We didn't see a single grain of brown rice. There were about 100 or 200 people in our group, but now only about 30 people are left. There are also many villages near the county town where people have died one by one. It is very likely that the government did not do anything and the soldiers robbed and killed them. When they died, they dug a pit and buried them. No one would find out. It is normal for people to die in this famine year!"

"Yes, no one will investigate even if they bury the bodies. These officials are very smart. I heard from the village doctor before that burying the bodies is to prevent the plague! Otherwise, why would these people be so kind! These officials are afraid that if the famine and the plague are added, they will not benefit from it if the matter gets out of hand!"

"It's not good to say these things in a place with people around. Be careful not to cause yourself a fatal disaster. I don't know how long it will take to reach Zhongzhou. The disaster in Zhongzhou is much better. Some of the big rivers downstream have not dried up so quickly. It's best to go to Dongzhou or the southern continent. Dongzhou, especially Southeast Province, has abundant food and the people are relatively wealthy."

"Alas, it's a pity that we have to walk. How long will it take for us to get there? We have already run out of water, food and money before we even get there. We just want to survive."

Liu Caixia roughly understood some information, so she returned to the cave and analyzed it with others.

Maybe they really did travel back to ancient times.

Liu Caixia said, "I felt something was wrong before, and now that I heard them say that, it must be what Xiaolu said that we have all traveled through time. And it seems that they are not acting, and they don't have the filming equipment like on TV. Besides, in our world, the virus is spreading, and there are more and more monsters. Who can still film? Just now I heard them say that we are in the border of Xizhou, and now the northwest is dry and the drought is very serious. Basically, all the people in the villages in the northwest are either dead or fleeing from the famine."

Jiang Xiaolu: "Mom, I've read novels. The protagonists in the novels all escaped famine after traveling through time, and then became rich by farming. I don't know how good their lives were. Better than those protagonists in the apocalypse, at least there were no monsters or zombies."

"Yes, you are my mother's heroine. Things will definitely get better and better in the future." Liu Caixia would of course support her daughter.

Although others did not understand, it did not mean that they disagreed with what the two said.

Liu's mother didn't know about the things in the novel. She only heard that people were fleeing famine, so she felt that life was still not optimistic. They had experienced some famines at that time, and they always felt that fleeing famine was not a good thing: "Let's talk about the future later. Let's solve the current problem first. I haven't heard that everyone is fleeing famine!"

Jiang Xiaolu disagreed and said proudly, "We can live well after escaping from famine. I learned a lot of farming techniques and how to make a fortune in ancient times from novels!"

Liu Caixia found Jiang Xiaolu's expression funny. She had also read the novel, but her daughter was right about one thing: escaping from famine should be better than living in the apocalypse! But seeing Jiang Xiaolu's boastful look, she laughed and criticized her, "I didn't see you study so hard in school, and I didn't see you work so hard in Olympiad math class! You may not be able to learn other things well either. Besides, the novels are all exaggerated. You can just read some brainless and exciting articles. Farming is still needed for you. Isn't your grandfather better than you?"

"Hehe, I only read novels during holidays. I have finished my homework and didn't miss any cram school. I'm just saying, I really forget what I read, it's like I didn't learn anything!"

Jiang Xiaolu thought about it again. What was written in the novel was too abstract. She seemed to understand it after reading it, but when she thought about it carefully, it seemed that she knew nothing at all.

Oh, never mind, she's still just a child!

It's so hard for her!

Seeing that Jiang Xiaolu looked so devastated, Liu's mother felt a little sorry for her and tried to comfort her.

"Got it. From now on, you should use your intelligence and wisdom to lead us to a good life! Your grandparents are depending on you! Now let's discuss what to do next?"

Jiang Xiaolu laughed embarrassedly, "Hehe"!

Father Liu listened to them talking so much, it would be unrealistic to say that he was not shocked, but after experiencing the red rain and the monster, he felt that nothing was impossible, so he should think about what to do now. After thinking for a while, he spoke first.

"First, we have to solve the problem of clothing. We will definitely continue to head east tomorrow. Our clothes are too different at first. We will definitely meet other refugees on the road. It is not okay to wear clothes that are too weird!"

Liu's mother agreed, "Yes, we must adapt to the local customs. We should not only learn how to dress, but also learn how to have the same hairstyle and address others. It's best to make ourselves darker. After all, we all look pale and fat, and we don't look like refugees at all. Don't wear your hat tomorrow, and paint your face a little darker."

Everyone was brainstorming and using their imagination. Sister Zhang also said, "I see a lot of cattails and straw mats everywhere. I can use the straw to weave a few straw jackets to wear outside, wear a gray T-shirt inside, and tie the trouser legs with ropes at the ankles. But shoes are a bit troublesome."

Liu Caixia: "Tomorrow we will try to observe them, and then we will make our own clothes. After all, making clothes should not be difficult, and their styles are not very complicated, they are all made of coarse cloth and linen. As for our shoes, they are too different. We can only see if we can weave a layer of straw on the surface to cover the inside. Otherwise, we can only weave straw sandals. Mom and Dad, do you know how to weave straw sandals?"

Liu's mother said, "I know a little bit. I suffered a lot when I was a child, but I haven't knitted for a long time. I have to give it a try. I can also knit straw hats, but it takes time!"

Sister Zhang nodded and said, "I often watch those short videos when I have nothing to do. There are also some tutorials in them. It shouldn't be difficult as long as you explore it. So let's go find some things and bring them back soon!"

"Okay, it's important to adapt to local customs. It's best to completely integrate into their community."

"Yes, being low-key is the way to go!"
