I tried to feel the old lady's breathing with my finger, but I couldn't feel it at all.

I placed my hand on the old woman's chest, and her heart stopped beating.

I know that the old lady has passed away.

That night was also the first time I shed tears.

The old lady's passing shattered my entire world.

In the days that followed, it was just the old man and me left, relying on each other for survival.

Three months later, the old man also passed away along with the old woman, and I was alone again.

This little thatched hut holds my happiest memories.

I buried the bodies of my grandparents not far from the hut.

And I decided to embark on a new journey.

Before leaving, I personally set fire to this little thatched hut that I cherish so much, hoping that when I get to the underworld, my elderly grandparents will have a place to live.

I also hope they will still remember me.

With the knowledge that the old lady taught me, I finally understand the ways of the world today.

The country is now called Han. It is the second year since the new emperor seized power. The people are suffering from the chaos of war and are living a life of displacement.

The old lady and her family lived in a remote area and could barely make ends meet by growing some things. However, they never expected to be discovered by the remnants of the previous dynasty, which led to the scene where she committed the murder.

The first abandoned city I saw was a city that had been massacred by new recruits, and those people were the survivors.

When you're hungry for a long time, you stop caring what you eat.

Saving the world today is not something that can be accomplished by one person alone. Humans today can no longer be called human beings; they are merely walking beasts.

Following the direction the old lady had pointed out, I headed towards the capital. I'd heard that the ruler of this world lived there, and I wanted to go see him.

Along the way, I've met all sorts of people: good people, bad people, petty people, scoundrels, unscrupulous merchants, and prostitutes.

However, I'm not interested in any of that. I just want to see what kind of person can control this world.

Does he know that somewhere today, people still resort to cannibalism by exchanging children?

When I arrived in the capital, it was the first time I felt angry.

The people here wear fine silks and satins, ride in luxurious carriages, and eat delicacies from land and sea. High-ranking officials and nobles are even carried on the streets.

This is so unfair.

The best thing the old lady had ever eaten in her life was the kind of flatbread made in Fukang.

However, they carelessly dumped the delicacies on the ground and even threw a huge tantrum.

What's wrong with this world?

I tried my best to calm myself down and control myself from losing control.

I have something more important to do, which is to go and see the so-called royal palace.

However, they underestimated the palace guards. Unlike the fools at the city gates, the palace guards could keep an eye on every corner.

I wanted to cross the palace walls, but I found that I simply couldn't.

This is also the first time I've realized that there are many things in this world that are beyond human capability.
