The child felt extremely guilty! But he had no grudge against the other party, and he hesitated to sprinkle the powder in his hand, which led to the burly man grabbing him and tying him to a pillar, mistaking him for a thief.

The old man heated up some thin porridge over the fire pit, fed his son and daughter-in-law a small bowl, and when there wasn't much left in the pot, he suppressed his rumbling stomach, ladled out the last half bowl, and said to the child, "Wang Fengyang, you must grow up well, don't be a bad person, and don't be a good person either, protect yourself. This little half bowl of porridge, Grandpa will eat it when he's hungry." After saying that, he drank it down in one gulp, and looked at his beloved grandson with a strange smile.

Wang Fengyang was a little puzzled. His grandfather was acting very strangely today. He assumed that his grandfather was upset and comforted him, "Grandpa, I'll go find some food. You wait for me at home. I know a place where the people are very kind. They will definitely give us food and might even help us."

"Go, child. If they're nice, go with them. Be good, be sensible, and someone will definitely like you. You're a good child." After saying that, she leaned against the pillar, looking at her beloved grandson with reluctance.

Not long after leaving the temple, Wang Fengyang became increasingly uneasy. His grandfather, who always endured hunger, had eaten the last bit of food tonight and was saying strange things. Especially his eyes—the more he thought about it, the more suspicious it seemed. A thought flashed through his mind, and he touched the packet of medicine that Shopkeeper Hua had given him at his waist—it was gone.

A sense of foreboding washed over him, and Wang Fengyang turned and ran back, pushing open the temple door. He saw three people with blood at the corners of their mouths, their breaths weak. Wang Fengyang was terrified, crying out, "Grandpa...Grandpa...Mom...Mom...Father..."

Grandpa was very weak. He lifted his heavy eyelids and asked with loving eyes, "Why did you come back? Go on, don't come back."

At that moment, Wang Fengyang had only one thought: to save the three people. In that critical instant, he thought of someone, wiped away his tears with his tattered sleeve, and said quickly, "Grandpa, none of you are allowed to die! I'm going to find someone to save you right now. Wait for me!" With that, he plunged into the rainy night, running as fast as he could, afraid that if he was even a minute late, there would be no chance left.
