Feng Qingxue suddenly fell silent.

She had seen fragmentary records like this in the materials, and some people even said that eating human flesh could cure edema, which is swelling of the whole body caused by hunger and malnutrition. That was why she helped the Caohu Brigade to get a batch of food a few years ago.

Once when she was walking in the Caohu Brigade, she happened to see someone looking at a child with a particularly terrifying look.

Feng Qingyun is well fed and warmly dressed, and now she is plump and plump. This kind of gaze has been cast on her more than once or twice.

This was also the reason why she could not take Feng Qingyun with her when she went out, so she entrusted her to the care of the elders in the clan. She also gave her many instructions before leaving. She was worried that when she was not at home, someone who was extremely hungry would capture Feng Qingyun and eat her.

"You guys are living here alone, aren't you being watched?"

It is better to have a father and a mother, but a child without a father, a mother and no one to rely on is simply a delicacy in the eyes of a group of hungry wolves.

"Yes! But what can we do? We are all children." A trace of sadness flashed in Zhang Erya's eyes, "Xiao Ni and Goudan disappeared in the winter! Some people said they froze to death on the road while begging, and some said they starved to death, but I know they might have been eaten. From then on, Guan Cheng asked us not to separate. When begging, we go out together and beg from different families, never beg from the same family together, and then come back together. We just need to have enough water and not starve to death."

Feng Qingxue didn't know what to say, but she knew that no matter what she said, it would seem so pale and powerless in front of the innocent child.

The practice of exchanging one's children for food has been recorded in history books.

In the past, I didn’t feel anything when seeing such records, but now I understand that the four words “eating one’s own children” are easy to write, but they are filled with the lives of countless innocent people!

Zhang Erya suddenly asked, "Sister, are you here to pick up Guancheng and Guanyu?"

"Yes, I want to take them home and raise them well." This is also the wish of Lu's father.

The Guan family only has these two children left, and considering the mother of the Tianjun brothers, the Lu family cannot ignore it no matter what.

"That's great!" Zhang Erya was envious, but there was no jealousy in her eyes. "For people like us who are wandering outside, we are just like lonely ghosts. It's a blessing that we have cultivated for several lifetimes to have a home."

A young man squatting in front of the dilapidated temple to bask in the sun suddenly turned to them and said, "Guan Cheng is back!"

When Feng Qingxue heard that Guan Cheng was coming, she looked straight towards the door.

A boy who was about the same age as Lu Tianjun but extremely thin limped in. His clothes were tattered and he looked no different from the other children present, except that his face was bruised and swollen, with blood stains on it.

When Guan Cheng came in, he saw Feng Qingxue holding his brother and shouted, "Who are you?"

After shouting loudly, he quickened his speed and ran to Feng Qingxue. When he reached out to take his brother back, he found that his brother's cotton-padded jacket and face looked much calmer. His outstretched hand stopped in mid-air, and he stared blankly at Feng Qingxue, who was well-dressed. There was confusion and vigilance in his wolf-like eyes.

Zhang Erya quickly stood up and took his hand, "Guan Cheng, don't worry, this sister is very nice, she gave us food as soon as she arrived. She said she is your relative, and she will come to take you home after finding out where you and Guan Yu are."

"Relatives? Impossible! Except for Guan Yu and me, everyone in my family has died a long time ago!"
