Chapter 3: I'm hungry

When Gu Yundong woke up again, it was on Yang's back, and the sound of her wheezing as she walked came to her ears.

  Mrs Yang was very thin, and Gu Yundong could clearly feel that her shoulders were trembling, as if they would crush if she was not careful.

   "Dongdong, Dongdong, are you awake ?" Probably feeling the movement, Mr. Yang turned her head slightly and said with joy.

   Only then did Gu Yundong realize that there was still a basket hanging in front of Mrs Yang's body, and that the little girl in the basket was still sleeping unconsciously, and she still hadn't woken up yet.

  Gu Yunshu also heard the sound, and hurriedly raised his head, "Elder sister, are you awake? Just hold on, we will be there soon."

   "Where are we going?" Gu Yundong asked hoarsely.

   The road they walked was a bit narrow, and there were no people on the road. It was getting dark now, so they had to find a place to spend the night.

   "We are going back and spending the night in the village we went to last night. It's closer." Gu Yunshu raised his head, wiped his face, and tried to smile. This decision was made by him, and he was actually very uneasy, and he didn't know if it was right or not.

   After all, compared to the unknown direction in front of him, he can only go back to the place that he knows. His eldest sister needed to rest, and he was also very afraid.

   It was only then did Gu Yundong realize that there were strangulation marks on his neck, and coupled with his somewhat huge head, it was particularly shocking.

   Her face darkened slightly, "Where's Gu Dahe?"

"He stole big sister's money and ran away." Gu Yunshu finally couldn't maintain his smile, he lowered his head and wiped away his tears, "Yunshu is useless, he didn't protect Big sister, and he didn't keep the money, I'm sorry."

  Gu Yundong wanted to tell him not to cry, because she had long understood that tears were the most useless thing in the last year of the apocalypse. If the money is gone, then it's gone. What's the use of crying, if there is a chance to let him return it an hundredfold, what's the big deal?

   But she quickly realized that this is not the end of the world, and Gu Yunshu is not a stranger, but her younger brother.

   But she can't comfort others, but fortunately, Yang's voice soon came to her ears, "Ashu don't cry, it's your second uncle who is wrong. We will ignore him in the future, ignore him, Mother loves you."

   Gu Yunshu was comforted, he sniffed hard, "I won't cry, I'm the only man here, I won't cry." As he said that, he hugged the potato bag in his arms and puffed out his small chest.

  Gu Yundong, "…"

  Fortunately, the village they settled soon arrived. The village was quiet and talmost deserted.

Everyone was dying or fleeing, all looking for a place to survive.

  Gu Yunshu originally wanted to go to the room they went to yesterday, but was stopped by Gu Yundong. In the end, they chose a house that was a little far from the center of the village. The place was not big, but it was remote and quiet, with only two families next to it.

   When they arrived at the house, Mrs Yang carefully put Gu Yundong down.

  Gu Yundong's strength had slowly recovered, but she was still a little dizzy after being hit on the head. his head.

  Gu Yunshu carefully placed the potatoes in front of her, raised his head and said, "Sister, you rest first, I'll find some firewood."

   He was very sensible, and tried his best to smile when telking to Gu Yundong, as not to worry her.

   After finishing speaking, he turned to look for the firewood room. Gu Yundong looked at his back with a big head and a small body, as if she was worried that his head would snap off at any time.

   After a while,he came in with two thin bundles of firewood, and called Mrs. Yang again, "Mother, help me close the window."

   "Okay." Mrs. Yang was feeding Gu Yunke water with the bamboo jar. The little girl swallowed unconsciously, and finally had some reaction.

   After the window and door were closed, Gu Yunshu started to bake potatoes.

  Gu Yundong watched him dig out from the cloth bag...two small potatoes, stringed them together with great care and put them on the pile of firewood. When they were almost done, he handed one to her .

  The other one, he carefully peeled off the skin and put it in Gu Yunke's mouth.

   Then, put out the fire.

  Gu Yundong looked at the little potato in her hand, and then at Gu Yunshu and Mrs Yang, who obviously didn't intend to eat it, "What about yours?"

   "Sister, you eat, I'm not hungry."

That is what he said, nut his eyes could not be controlled as they were floating over the potatoes, then he immediately lowered his head.

Mother Yang's performance was much more direct, she swallowed hard, "...I'm hungry."
