Lin Hai looked at the sky. It was still early for noon, but he still packed up and turned away from one of the people wandering around. Not long after, he came back with two hot meat buns.
"Later, the villagers secretly gave me a little food, but they didn't have much to eat, so they couldn't give me much. I heard there was a group of people fleeing famine from other places, so I joined them. Along the way, people kept dying, and more people kept joining. I was lucky enough to make it here."
