Three hundred kilometers east of the Holy Court, there is a medium-sized island.

More than 20 years ago, floods, droughts and locust plagues and rat plagues followed one after another. In addition, the Holy Church and the Church of Truth started a war, and ordinary farmers suffered a lot.

The famine on the sky is different from the famine on the earth.

There are even fewer resources here. The earth is famine and the area is large. The hungry refugees can at least escape the famine and go to other places. Even if they can't find food, they can satisfy their hunger even if they find some bark and wild fruits.

But on the empty island, there is no air boat, so you can only wait for death.

At first glance, the entire empty island was covered with cracked land. The seedlings had already withered, the weeds could not live, and the bark was even broken.

The originally flooded rat plague was eaten by hungry people, and even the locusts were starved to death, and the places where they were watching were naked.

Hadalee's second brother Raymond was curled up in a daze in his cabin, gasping weakly.

Four years ago, Hadali's parents gave birth to a pair of twins, one of which was Hadali.

Although there was no famine at that time, it was still common to not have enough food.

And at that time, there were already three children at home.

The two newborn girls did not bring any joy to the family.

In this world, the phenomenon of favoring boys over girls is particularly serious.

After hesitating for a long time, Hadalee's father decided to throw the two of them into a pit in the back mountain.

There is a place where most people in this village choose to abandon babies.

But when it came, Hadali's mother felt that abandoning her alive was too cruel.

I decided to put the twins in the room next door that was uninhabited and waited to swallow before abandoning them.

In this way, the twin baby girls were wrapped in quilts and placed in the cold utility room next door.

This island is inclined toward the cold zone, and the cold wind in winter is as harsh as a knife.

Hadalee's father never dared to open the door of the utility room again when he let them go.

On the third day, Hadali's father thought that the two babies should be out of breath, so he prepared to put them in sacks and throw them into the pit in the back mountain.

At this time, Raymond, who went out to receive relief from the Holy Court, came back and heard what his parents did and his eyes turned red.

He cried and carried the two babies back and put them in the warm room. After a while, he heard a baby girl humming. Raymond quickly fed her a bit of hot rice soup and then rescued her.

But another baby girl did not survive...

The one who survived was Hadari.

My mother died of swelling last month because of eating Guanyin soil.

Guanyin soil is also called kaolin, also known as puffy rock. Because it is rich in a variety of minerals, it is the best raw material for making pottery.

This kind of soil can satisfy hunger, but cannot be digested and absorbed by the human body. After eating it, it will bloat and make it difficult to defecate. Eating a small amount is not fatal. Although it will not go hungry, people will still die due to lack of nutrition.

During the famine, I was bloated like a drum when I ate Guanyin earth and could not defecate, and countless people were suffocating to death.

In order to support a few children, my father had no choice but to go to the next village to steal the mixed noodles.

It is a kind of inferior flour, made of more than a dozen leaves or rods such as sorghum, soybeans, sweet potatoes, etc., mixed with bran. The food made is black and used to feed livestock.

This kind of food is difficult to swallow, causing difficulty in defecation, and the stool that is pulled out can break the intestines, but at this time, it is life-saving food.

But because he was really weak, he was still caught by the villagers there.

The villagers vented all their anger on him, and when the village chief brought the people over, they were no longer angry.

"Second brother, second brother."

Hadali's second brother's ears faintly heard Hadali's voice full of surprise. Outside the dilapidated house, a thin purple-haired figure walked in carefully holding a clay pot.

The clay pot was steaming, and several blisters had been burned out of her palm, but even so, she was still careful.

"What you eat is coming, what you eat is coming."

She put the clay pot in front of her second brother.

The second brother supported his weak body and looked into the clay pot. The faint fragrance of mushroom soup came to his face, making people unable to help but feel salivation. In the clay pot, colorful mushrooms floated on the water.

"Where did you come from these things?" Raymond said weakly.

"It was given to me by Uncle Renn at the entrance of the village." Hadali said, "Brother, you eat it quickly, you will have the strength after eating."

Raymond coughed violently twice, took a deep look at the mushroom soup inside, and then kindly touched Little Hadari's head.

"Okay, good, second brother eat, second brother eat."

"These are all from my second brother." Little Hadali said happily.

Raymond smiled, tremblingly picked up a wooden spoon and scooped the mushroom soup and put it in his mouth. The mushrooms had a strong aroma. Even without salt MSG, it was a peerless delicacy for a person who had been hungry for several days.

Seeing Raymond eating deliciously, little Hadalie swallowed while touching the blisters on her hands.

Soon, the mushroom soup came to an end. Raymond lay comfortably on the bed, touched his stomach, and then smiled and touched Little Hadalie's head.

"Second brother has finished eating after hearing Hadali's words. Hadali will also listen to his second brother later, okay?"

Hadali nodded.

"Push open the window over there, then climb out, run away, and run to the people who come to the Holy Court to help. The further you run, the better, and never come back."

Although the young Hadali couldn't understand the meaning of this sentence, she could understand what was coming and never come back.

She seemed to understand something and cried...

"Brother doesn't want me anymore, brother doesn't want me anymore."

Raymond grabbed Hadalie's hand and murmured softly in a weak voice.

"Obe obedient...go...go...go quickly...go again... don't come back..."

Gradually, Raymond's voice gradually disappeared. When Hadalie's throat was hoarse, Raymond did not respond at all.

She knew that her second brother was asleep, and the eldest brother was the same a few days ago.

She stared at her second brother who was pale on the boat. Suddenly, she suddenly picked up the clay pot and came to Raymond, shaking his body.

"Brother, don't sleep. Get up and drink soup. If you drink the soup, you won't be hungry."

Raymond did not react at all, but Hadalie was still shaking him unremittingly.

"Quick, get up...Woooooooooooooooooooooo..."

A huge fear came, and the little girl, who was less than five years old, began to cry loudly.

I don't know how long it took, two adult men walked in from outside the room.

Seeing the corpse on the bed and Hadali, Ren frowned and said unhappily.

"Why did one die?"

"Don't worry about that much, the little one doesn't have much meat on his body."

Almost all the green things that can be eaten on the mountain are eaten, and people can only take the risk of eating what they cannot eat.

So in recent years, many people have been poisoned to death by eating wild grass and wild mushrooms, and the people in the Holy Court can't control them at all.

Those corpses can sometimes be used to feed some people...

The Holy Court sometimes can't control these things.

What these two people did was to disguise these two people as poisoned by the poisonous mushrooms they picked to escape the punishment of the Holy Court.

Raymond was too weak to escape with Hadalee, and he couldn't run farther.

He knew that the person who gave them mushroom soup must be watching them nearby.

They would not return empty-handed when they died. The remaining power of the Holy Court was there again. They might let Hadari go. This is Raymond's idea.

Moreover, compared to starving to death, Raymond hoped that he would be full before he died.

The man came over and picked up Raymond's body.

Hadalie seemed to realize something, so she rushed forward and cried and grabbed Renne's arm.

"Give me back my brother! Give me back my brother!"

"Get out!" Renn pushed Hadalee away directly, causing her to hit the bedside on one side.

But Hadali was still relentless and struggled to climb over and bit Renne's arm.

But how could Hadari, who couldn't even eat enough, have the strength to bite people? However, this annoyed Renn and looked at the man beside him.

"Although this kid is thin, he is pretty good-looking. Do you think that if you sell her to the people of the Truth Church, is it worth three gold?"

As the so-called nobles, the voice, sex, dogs and horses are naturally indispensable. Many nobles will raise some "slim horses".

"You are crazy! If you are discovered by the people in the Holy Court."

"The people in the Holy Court can't even control themselves, but we still care about us!"

Seeing that the man beside him was still hesitating, Renn gritted his teeth and grabbed the girl's face, pressed her and was about to knock her out and put her in a sack to take her away.

“Tick~”
