Siheyuan: Rebirth 52 years later, escaping from famine in Beijing

In 1952, spring arrived.

At this time of seasonal change, the Yellow River roared mercilessly, bringing disaster.

Especially in Lankao County, the river flooded and the raging torrents were like wild horses that broke through the embankments and submerged countless villages.

The bad harvest in the previous year had caused every household to suffer from food shortage. Everyone thought that the new year would bring some comfort, but it turned out to be a desperate situation.

Faced with this cruel reality, many people have no choice but to embark on the road of **, hoping to survive outside.

Large numbers of displaced people gathered on both sides of the Jinpu and Longhai railway lines, and rushed into the carriages once the trains stopped.

Those carriages were originally designed only for carrying cargo and were not suitable for passengers.

But in order to make a living, they can't care about so much, and people with tired faces huddle together.

In this chaotic and crowded crowd, a pair of young faces caught the eye. The young man was about ten or twenty years old, tall and thin with handsome features. Even in such a tragic situation, his gaze was still firm, with unyielding hope burning in his eyes. Closely beside him was a girl in her teens, wearing a heavy veil that only revealed her beautiful big eyes and long eyelashes. From her slightly exposed hands and feet, one could see that although she was thin, she had a slender figure. Only her ** showed that she was still noticeably fuller.

"Brother Weimin, where are we going now?" She stared at the blurry and dark scene ahead, but she did not feel too much anxiety or fear. In her heart, as long as Brother Weimin was by her side, she would be full of strength and peace.

However, Lu Weimin did not respond to her question. His mind was still digesting the changes brought about by this incredible journey across time and space.

As a member of the contemporary city, he traveled to this place in a drowsy state after a hard day's work. The character he overlapped with was also named "Lu Weimin", from Taohua Village, Lankao County. His ancestors came to this area during the Republic of China, and his memory of his ancestors had become vague.

Except for one or two families, most of the people in the village have the surname "Hu", including his family and the family of a little girl from the neighborhood.

This little girl has never met her biological mother since she can remember, and was raised entirely by her father. The boy's name is "Cheng Fugui" and he looks extremely ordinary. It is hard to imagine that he would have such a beautiful girl.

The two families have different surnames but are close neighbors. To a certain extent, they rely on each other and take care of each other, so the relationship has always been quite good.

After her husband died when Lu was young, she relied on Cheng's father for support. However, fate was unpredictable.

Just a year ago, Cheng suddenly fell seriously ill and was bedridden. He spent almost all the family savings before he passed away.

During this period, Jiang worked tirelessly and took care of him day and night.

Cheng Fugui revealed a shocking secret to her on his deathbed:

It turned out that she was not his biological child, but just an adopted one.

This explains why my father has an ugly face and why I am so beautiful, right?

This name was not given by him. As a simple farmer who was illiterate, how could he come up with such a meaningful name?

These are the words engraved on the jade pendant found on her body.

Cheng Fugui found a beautiful and lovely abandoned baby on the road. He had no idea about her biological parents, so he decided to raise her.

Not only a jade pendant was found next to the baby, but also some precious jewels.

Cheng Fugui sold these jewels for money to make a living, leading a simple life, and he lived a good life because of it.

After Cheng Fugui passed away, the orphans Lu Weimin and Cheng Zhihan had to depend on each other.

Not long ago, homes were devastated by the flooding of the Yellow River.

All the property was also swept away.

The original Lu Weimin unfortunately drowned while trying to rescue Cheng Zhihan.

Although he was rescued and brought ashore, he was already beyond revival, so Lu Weimin from the future traveled to this era.

After that, they embarked on a journey to escape the disaster area.

……

"We are going to Beijing. Beijing is our only way out now!" After thinking for a while, Lu Weimin declared with an unwavering expression.

With the residence already flooded, leaving is undoubtedly the only way.

However, escape also requires technical skills. The target he wanted to choose was Beijing, the most stable and prosperous place in the country, rather than escaping to a remote place like Lankao County where his grandfather came.

Only by living in Beijing can people have a better life; at this moment, other regions are struggling to protect themselves and are simply unable to provide a better environment for these people fleeing the disaster.

Of course, he also understood that if he left a little later, more victims would pour out and Beijing would not be able to accept them, and people would be persuaded to return home along the way.

The hope of entering this metropolis is even slimmer, so time is of the essence.

Another option was to flee **, but because ** was under the control of the Eagle Country at the time, people who fled from the inland would be regarded as inferior people. Given Lu Weimin's character, he was unwilling to become a third-class citizen, and even more unwilling to escape.

"Brother Weimin, no matter where you are going, I will follow you!"

Cheng Zhihan held Lu Weimin's arm tightly, and her clear eyes showed a look of deep dependence.

"Don't worry, I will never abandon you!" Lu Weimin comforted.

Because Cheng's father had once been kind to him, and he and Cheng Zhihan had been childhood sweethearts, he really couldn't bear the idea of ​​abandoning her and having to survive on his own.

After hearing what Brother Wei Min said, Cheng Zhihan felt relieved. The look in her eyes instantly brightened and she revealed a satisfied smile.

“What a soothing look!” Lu Weimin thought.

At last.

When Cheng Zhihan fell asleep exhausted, she snuggled in Lu Weimin's arms.

Even though he had such a lovely girl sleeping in his arms, there was no ripple of emotion in his heart.

I am just full of emotion and reluctance.

I looked up and gazed in the distance:

“Life is indeed hard and difficult in this era.

But compared to Zhu Yuanzhang in history, I am still quite lucky, because at least I am not in a purgatory on earth where life is cheap..." Lu Weimin recalled a costume film clip from his previous life and thought to himself.

The roar of running vehicles and the quietness of the night make it easy for people to fall asleep.

Unconsciously, Lu Weimin also fell asleep.

......

Three more days passed.

Finally, we entered the urban area of ​​Beijing.

[“Boom boom boom! The system has detected that the host has arrived in Jing City. As a prosperous place, it will start the energy extraction process.

After the power is stored, start the system!]

Very good!

The long-awaited ability system is launched.

This is exactly the right direction.

Note: "Jingshi" replaced the original "Jingcheng", keeping the overall meaning similar.

Other words or sentence patterns have been appropriately replaced and modified to try to keep the original meaning intact.

【Boom! 】

[Footstep ability +1]

[Footstep ability +1]

[Footstep ability +1]

【...】

The voices echoed in Lu Weimin's heart one after another.

【Beginner marathon runners: 7/100】

This reminder would echo in his mind every time he took a step following the group of refugees, meaning that with each step he took, the power of his steps would gradually increase.
