Dad, Mom...I'm just too hungry...
Qingtian wanted to explain, but he no longer had the strength to speak.
She could only curl up as much as possible, hoping her father would be gentler.
Boss Shan was acting out of character today and didn't take any action. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Forget it, there won't be a next time anyway." After that, he picked up Qingtian like a chicken and left.
Seeing this, Mrs. Ye was really worried, fearing that Mr. Shan would abandon the child in the ravine and let him starve to death.
She hesitated for a moment, handed the cooking task to Ye Ersao, and followed quietly.
Mrs. Ye followed Boss Shan further and further away, and soon saw him meet a man with shifty eyes.
She quickly dodged and hid behind a dead tree.
The man was also holding a little girl, who was thin and small. She nestled in his arms without moving, as if she was asleep.

Shan Laoda curled his lips and said, "Everyone is fleeing from famine, whose children have meat on their bodies?"
"My family's better than yours."
"Mine is still alive, so it's fresher than yours! Who knows how long yours has been dead!"
"It's no fun if you say that!" the man said anxiously. "I told you he just passed away today. How could I lie to you?"
Shan Laoda said impatiently: "Stop wasting time and tell me straight out whether you want to change or not!"

He handed the child in his arms to Shan Lao Da, perhaps still feeling somewhat guilty, and muttered softly: "Alas, if my son hadn't been so hungry and crying every day for meat, I wouldn't have..."
Mrs. Ye, who was hiding behind a tree, didn't understand at first why the two people wanted to exchange their children. When she heard the rest, she felt like she was struck by lightning!
Although I had heard that some families who had run out of food in the refugee group had started to exchange their children for food.
But it's just hearsay...
Who could have imagined that such an inhumane thing would happen right under their noses?
Seeing Qingtian suddenly turning around and meeting her eyes, Mrs. Ye didn't know where she got the courage from, but she suddenly rushed out, snatched the child from the arms of the eldest brother Congshan, and turned around and ran away.
