Fearing that Ye Moxun and his uncle would be harassed by other refugees, Song Zhuiyan and Song Tantan went back to their previous location to warn the refugees not to cause trouble for Ye Moxun.

"Auntie, I feel like Xunhua seems to look down on me. Did you see the look in his eyes just now?" Song Tantan asked Song Zhuiyan on the way.

The latter thought about it. Although the child was dressed in shabby clothes, had messy hair, and was very dirty, his eyes were clear and bright, and he had a calmness that was beyond his years. As for whether he looked down on Tantan, she really didn't notice.

"This is a chaotic world, plagued by natural disasters year after year. The people not only have to avoid being killed and plundered by the barbarians, but also have to face drought, hunger, and cold. Their lives are in danger at any time. Their expressions are numb. They shouldn't have such complicated thoughts. What's the point of looking down on you?"

After hearing her aunt's words, Song Tantan was speechless.

They hurried along, searching for any villages or towns nearby, but the area was clearly desolate, with no houses for miles around. They had no choice but to continue their search.

"I can't take it anymore, I'm so tired, I'm exhausted." Song Tantan saw a big rock in front of her, and immediately went over and collapsed on it.

After walking for so long, Song Zhuiyan was also tired, but unlike Song Tantan, she didn't shout it out. She silently found a place to sit down and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"Tantan, give me a bottle of mineral water," she said, then paused, as if suddenly remembering something, "I'll put it in my water bag so no one will find out."

Song Tantan nodded, looked around, and found that apart from some dry grass and low trees on the ground, there were only two living people left, her and her aunt. Only after confirming that it was safe did she enter the space.

She went into the supermarket and filled her water bag with bottled water. Yes, her space not only contained the supermarket, but also her old house and mountains. At the foot of the mountains was a stream, fields, her aunt's pig farm, chickens, ducks, geese, and two big wolfhounds.

She and her aunt brought all their family property with them, which was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

After drinking water and filling their stomachs with food, the two regained their strength and prepared to continue searching for a village nearby. Seeing that Song Tantan was thin and weak, Song Zhuiyan said, "Let your aunt carry you. It's too tiring for you to walk like this."

Song Tantan hesitated for a while, then blushed and whispered, "But I'm actually an adult, it's so embarrassing to have you carry me."

This meant she was willing to let Song Zhuiyan carry her. She had been stubborn earlier, saying she could walk by herself and refused to be carried. Song Zhuiyan chuckled and lifted her onto her back.

“I carried you on my back a lot when you were little, what’s there to be shy about?” Song Zhuiyan is ten years older than Song Tantan. When Song Zhuiyan was a little girl, Song Tantan was like a little tail always following behind her.

Song Tantan leaned on her shoulder, her nose tingling, and whispered, "When I was little, people always laughed at me for not having a father or mother. I didn't understand then, and I was resentful. I always got into fights, but I always got beaten up."

Later, her aunt took her to a martial arts school to learn martial arts with her. There was no other reason than to prevent her from being bullied and to have the ability to fight back if she was beaten.

When Song Tantan was young, her mother was deceived by a scumbag in terms of love and body. Later, she became pregnant, and the scumbag dumped her. When Song Tantan was born, her mother died in childbirth. She has no memory of her mother. To her, her aunt is like her mother.

When she was little, she lived with her maternal grandparents. When she was eight years old, her maternal grandparents passed away one after another. Her aunt raised her and supported her through school until she graduated from university.

After graduating, Song Tantan did not find a job related to her major. Instead, she worked as a stunt double for more than a year. Later, the scumbag who had lied to her mother back then came looking for her. The scumbag had a terminal illness and found out about her illegitimate daughter a month before he died.

As compensation, he simply gave her a large supermarket. Song Tantan was a pragmatic person and thought that she should take it if she wanted it. She felt that she deserved it, and since he dared to give it to her, she dared to accept it. So she inherited the supermarket.

Then, on the very first day after taking over, I tragically time-traveled.

She was furious just thinking about it. If she had known that she would be forced to travel through time because of the supermarket, she would never have accepted it. "...It's outrageous. It must be that scumbag's wife who did this. Auntie, you have no idea. There are so many unsold goods in the supermarket, thousands of kilograms of old rice and thousands of kilograms of old millet. Which supermarket would sell millet?"

And the bedding and clothing were all cheap, low-quality stuff from street vendors. Not only were the colors dull, but the sheets and blankets looked like garish floral prints – even we country folk don't buy such tacky patterns. At least they had some conscience. The other food was relatively fresh; they were probably afraid of feeding people something bad.

I just don't understand, who has a grudge against me that they would help me find my scumbag father and end up in this godforsaken place?

Song Zhuiyan felt a little guilty and coughed awkwardly, saying, "Actually, it was my aunt who asked him to acknowledge you. I wasn't feeling well that day, so I went to the city for a checkup, and that's when I met that man. I saw that he was so sick that he couldn't walk and was being pushed around in a wheelchair, so I knew he wouldn't live much longer."

Thinking that Song Tantan had never met her mother since she was a child, and now her father was about to die, even though he was a scumbag, he was still her biological father. Perhaps if they could meet one more time, Tantan would have fewer regrets.

So Song Zhuiyan went to the scumbag first and told him what happened. "Anyway, you're about to die, so I'm too lazy to curse you. If it weren't for Tantan, I wouldn't even want to look at you. You killed my sister, and I can't wait for you to get your retribution."

Perhaps people speak kindly when they are about to die. The scumbag did not get angry at Song Zhuiyan's insults, but instead said gently, "Let's meet. I didn't expect Song Yuyan to die in childbirth. I thought she had already married and had children."

"Pah! Do you think everyone is as heartless as you? My sister couldn't bear to abort the child and insisted on giving birth. She even lost her life for this child. It's all your fault, you dog!" Song Zhuiyan usually had a cold face and ignored everyone.

But those who know her know that she has a sharp tongue and can leave people speechless and even internally injured from anger.

Later, Song Tantan actually went to see the scumbag. It wasn't that she had any expectations of her father; she just wanted to see what the man who had harmed her mother so badly looked like, so she could avoid him in the future.

Then, the jerk gave her a supermarket, and that was it.

"Auntie, I don't blame you. It was an accident." Song Tantan quickly changed her words, afraid that her aunt would blame herself.

"I was just afraid you'd have a grudge. Your grandparents and I have always known who that scumbag is, but we didn't tell you. Now that we've talked things out... Actually, it's pretty unfair. The supermarket is yours, and it's in your own space, fine. But why are all the businesses from our hometown in your possession too?" It's really infuriating.

"Isn't that right? I don't know how to raise pigs, and I'm not good at farming those few acres of land. Now I have to go into the space every day to feed the pigs, chickens, ducks, geese, and two big wolfhounds for you. Several sows are about to give birth to piglets."

That female wolfhound is heavily pregnant too, and I have absolutely no idea how to deliver a baby for an animal, okay? Song Tantan became increasingly frustrated. "Hmm? Auntie, why aren't you leaving?"

Song Zhuiyan suddenly stopped, her voice tinged with barely perceptible excitement, "Tantan, look! There's a village ahead!"
