"Let's keep going." Huo Jianguo ate something, recovered some strength, and stood up with the help of a stick.

"Dad, let me support you." Huo Wenbo supported Huo Jianguo, and the three of them continued to move forward.

After walking for about half an hour, Su Miaomiao saw a dozen people on the ridge of the field.

Kneeling on the ground, as if looking for something.

"Dad, there's someone over there." Su Miaomiao shouted.

Huo Jianguo immediately stepped forward and looked over with squinted eyes.

"Hurry, go and ask if this is Pingba Village." Huo Jianguo said anxiously.

Su Miaomiao walked quickly forward and when she got closer she found that those people were not looking for something, but were kneeling on the dam and digging grass roots.

Everyone was skinny, with sunken eye sockets, and even their digging movements seemed weak.

Although it is early spring now, the temperature in the mountains is still very low, but each of them only wears one thin piece of clothing.

The exposed hands were red and swollen, looking like frostbite, and because they were not treated in time, the wounds looked extremely hideous.

Su Miaomiao stood not far away and didn't know how to start for a moment.

Huo Jianguo and Huo Wenbo caught up to see this scene and both gasped.

When they first came to Shimatou Village, the village was also desolate, but it was much better than the scene before them.

Su Miaomiao calmed down a little and took a few steps forward.

"Hello, comrade. Is this Pingba Village?" Su Miaomiao lowered her voice a lot.

But she waited for a long time without any response from others, wondering if the voice was too soft, and took two steps forward.

"Hello, is this Pingba Village?" This time, Su Miaomiao's voice was a little heavier than before.

Everyone who was digging the soil blindly suddenly stopped what they were doing and looked up at Su Miaomiao.

As soon as she met everyone's eyes, Su Miaomiao felt a breath of death coming towards her.

It is the dead air that comes from people who have been in a hopeless environment for a long time.

However, this deathly aura faded slightly after everyone was sure that the person in front of them was not an illusion.

"Who are you?" someone asked.

The sound is so faint that you might even miss it if you don't listen carefully.

"We are here in Pingba Village looking for someone. May I ask if a family with the surname Huo has been here before?" Su Miaomiao did not miss the other person's opening and closing lips.

The man's eyes were a little confused. After a long while, he seemed to react to what Su Miaomiao meant. He shook his head and continued to dig the grass roots.

When those who were paying attention to this side heard that they were not looking for them, they also lowered their heads.

Su Miaomiao looked at these people and felt an indescribable emotion in her heart.

Are they... still alive?

Su Miaomiao's eyes moved around them and finally returned to Huo Jianguo.

"Dad, let's go to the village and ask." Su Miaomiao said softly.

"...Okay." Huo Jianguo's voice trembled slightly.

Everyone here is so thin, and he wonders what's happening to his eldest brother's family.

The three of them hurried to the village not far away.

The village was very quiet, without even the noise of children.

There are still many houses that have collapsed and have not been repaired.
