The family of three was talking as if no one was around, but they didn't know that two small figures were hiding not far away and could hear their conversation clearly.

This was the second time they heard the Su family's plans for them.

The first time I heard it was three days ago.

Only three days had passed and they were ready to take action.

"Brother, what should we do? Grandpa and grandma, they are planning to exchange us for others to eat." Su Xinguang was very scared.

Su Xinyang looked gloomy and said in a cold voice, "They are not our grandparents."

Su Xinguang was frightened by his brother's appearance, but his little hands still held his arms tightly, as if he would be eaten if he let go.

Su Xinyang stared at the Su family members not far away with cold eyes. He had not found a chance to leave yet. He thought there was still time for him to plan carefully. Otherwise, if he left with his brother empty-handed, they would die soon.

They either starved to death on the road, or were captured by the cannibals on the road and used as food.

But now…if they don’t leave, they will be exchanged for food rations by the Su family.

No, I have to go.

If you don't leave, you will end up dead.

Su Xinyang had a plan in mind, and he said to his brother, "Xiaoguang, you go back with these firewood first."

"Brother, what about you?" Su Xinguang was very scared and held his hand tightly, fearing that he would abandon him.

Su Xinyang saw through his brother's worries at a glance. He held his brother's hand tightly, patted it gently, and comforted him softly: "When you return to the camp, tell the others that I am still in the woods looking for firewood. After you put the firewood in place, tell them that you came to help me and you can pick up more. Do you understand?"

Su Xinguang nodded repeatedly to indicate that he had taken note.

"Brother, what about you? You won't... abandon me, will you?"

Su Xinguang's clear eyes were filled with deep fear and worry.

If his brother abandoned him, he would become a lonely man without any relatives to rely on.

"Absolutely not! I just want to find something." Facing his brother who was still holding his hand tightly, Su Xinyang frowned and asked unhappily, "Don't you even trust me?"

As long as they can successfully find that thing, they might be able to greatly increase their chances of surviving the escape.

Seeing his brother getting angry, Su Xinguang had no choice but to let go and said goodbye reluctantly: "Brother, then...then I will go back first."

Afterwards, Su Xinguang picked up a large pile of firewood and slowly walked towards the Su family's temporary resting place. Looking at his brother's back getting farther and farther away, Su Xinyang resolutely turned around and stepped into the dense forest.

He must find that thing before the sun sets.

If they can't find it, they can only escape from the Su family empty-handed.

Leaving empty-handed is almost the same as suicide.

Su Xinyang didn't dare to waste a minute or a second, and lowered his head to search in the mountains and forests.

He had heard from his sister before, where does that thing like to grow?

He tried to recall, racking his brains.

"elder brother."

Suddenly, Su Xinguang's voice came from behind him, and he ran back in a hurry with sweat on his forehead.

After seeing that my brother really didn't abandon me alone, my heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.

"Brother, what are you looking for?" Su Xinguang asked curiously.

"Do you remember? My sister once told us that there is a plant growing in the mountains. It is poisonous. If people or animals eat it, they will become confused and dazed, just like chicken plague."

As he described, Su Xinguang's memory was awakened little by little, and he kept nodding his head, "I remember. It's called Tuosang grass, and my sister told us not to pick it for the chickens at home."

"Yes, yes, that's what we are looking for now."

"good."

The brothers buried their heads in searching, but in the woods near the official road, anything edible had already been eaten, and any plant that looked edible had been eaten by people who were starving.

The Su Xinyang brothers could only search deeper into the forest. As the sun was about to set, they still couldn't find the Tuosang grass.

Su Xinyang was very anxious. If they couldn't find it, they would have to return.

Just then, my brother's voice came from the side.

"Brother, I found it."

Upon hearing this, Su Xinyang hurried to his side, squatted down and checked the plants in front of him.

"Brother, is this it?"

Su Xinyang looked at it again and again, and nodded happily at his brother, "Yes, this is it."

Su Xinguang pointed behind the bushes and said, "Brother, there are still a lot more there."

The two of them pulled out all the surrounding Tushan grass as quickly as possible.

"Brother, do you want to cook this and feed it to those people?" Su Xinguang asked.

Su Xinyang nodded.

“Will they eat it?”

Su Xinyang whispered in his brother's ear for a while, and Su Xinguang nodded continuously to indicate that he remembered it.

"Just do what I say and they'll eat it."

Those greedy and selfish guys will definitely be fooled.

The two brothers went back with some firewood in their arms. Before they even reached the Su family's campsite, they heard the Su family's eldest daughter-in-law, Lu, fanning the flames.

"Dad, Mom, those two little bastards haven't come back yet? Could it be that they are hiding in the woods and being lazy and don't want to come out?"

Old Man Su and Old Lady Su looked at the sky and saw that the two children had not returned, so they frowned.

Old Man Su said to Madam Lu, "Go to the forest and bring back those two boys."
