Not long ago, Liangcheng was in a similar situation.
But fortunately, with divine protection, their lives got better and better.
How can she stand by and watch people from other countries come here to beg for alms?
However, before she could call for a count of the refugees, a heart-wrenching wail suddenly came from not far away:
"Grandpa, Grandpa, what's wrong? Don't scare Cuicui..."
Qin Yue Zhao looked in the direction of the sound.
On the surface of a large rock, there lay a gaunt old man.
The old man's eyes were closed, and a little girl in a floral cotton-padded jacket knelt beside him, calling out helplessly:
"Grandpa, please get up! Cui Cui is so scared..."
Her voice was childish and helpless, which made Qin Yuezhao's heart tighten.
Chen Wan'er quickly stepped forward, reached out to check the old man's breath, and then shook her head helplessly.
"Little girl, don't cry, your grandfather is dead."

Upon hearing this word, the little girl's eyes widened suddenly, and large tears streamed down her face.
Although she was young, she had seen many dead people along the way, so she understood what the word "death" meant.
Qin Yue Zhao glanced at Chen Wan'er with a hint of complaint, then squatted down in front of the little girl.
"Little sister, your name is Cuicui, right?"
Seeing the two strangers being so enthusiastic towards her, Cui Cui didn't show any happiness. Instead, she shrank back warily and kept hiding in her grandfather's arms.
"Grandpa, wake up! Someone's coming! Cui Cui is so scared!"
Her tiny face, no bigger than a palm, was red from crying, and her dirty little hands pushed against her grandfather, trying to wake him up.
The scene was so impactful that Qin Yue Zhao felt heartbroken.
She took out a silk handkerchief and carefully brought it to Cui Cui's face.
"Cui Cui, don't be afraid. We're not bad people. We just want to help you bury your grandfather. Please don't cry, okay?"
In this desolate wilderness, without someone to properly care for the little girl, she simply wouldn't survive.
Even if she lacked food and clothing, in chaotic times, human traffickers would quickly spot her and take her away.
At that time, it would be alright to be a maid in a wealthy family, but if she ended up in a brothel or was sold to those perverted child predators, she would definitely live a life worse than death.
Qin Yue Zhao did not want to see this outcome.
But Cui Cui was clearly too wary of the two of them and refused to let go of her grandfather's hand.
Seeing this, Chen Wan'er took out two pieces of candy from her bosom and handed them to her.
