From Xia Wei's choked and staccato narration, Nuan Yang finally understood what was going on.

The original name of this small village is indeed "Huayu Village", which was originally the most beautiful place in Shinan Town, but it was ruined by the plague ten years ago.

The uncontrollable condition continued to take one life after another, and Huayu Village was completely blocked by the outside world, and no one could escape from it, so they could only wait desperately for death to come.

Xia Wei and her twin sister were only six years old at the time, and their two children were secretly sent to the mountains by their parents to escape, but their parents were imprisoned again in Huayu Village because they diverted the attention of their pursuers.

The two children spent a few days in the mountains, hungry and thirsty, and ate some wild fruits, but they did not dare to take a sip of the water from the mountains, as their parents had told them before leaving.

However, after not seeing their parents come back for five days, how could the two children not panic?

Xia Wei had been crying for five days, and her sister had no choice but to take her down the mountain and secretly return to Huayu Village at night.

It's just that the beautiful village that was once full of flowers has disappeared, and all that is left in front of them is a dry and crumbling land, a land that has been burned by fire.

The elaborate building had been destroyed, and the broken walls stood silently, the mottled walls that seemed to have marks different from those of fire, and the color was as dark as some kind of liquid.

Xia Wei was completely stunned, she was just meekly pulled by her sister to continue walking, but she couldn't react, and she even forgot to cry.

When her sister stopped, she realized that she didn't know when the two of them had returned to their house.

Luckily, her house didn't have anything left like the ones near the entrance of the village, except that the walls were burned and the wooden gate was burned down.

Xia Wei shook off her sister's hand and rushed into the yard, she couldn't wait to see her parents, the six-year-old child's heart was completely filled with horror at this time, she just wanted to throw herself into that warm and gentle embrace and cry loudly for comfort.

But the next scene she saw made her instantly collapse on the ground, calling out to her sister and crying loudly.

The courtyard was originally warm and full of pink roses, and the bees and butterflies were gone, the fragrance of flowers was gone, and all that remained was the burnt branches and leaves and the corpses of her parents

The parents who had once smiled so gently at themselves were now lying lifeless on the ground, their faces had turned blue, a large cut had been cut on their chests, and the dried blood stained their simple clothes into a bewitching black and red, and the blood left from them stained the earthy yellow ground.

Xia Wei broke down and cried, despair enveloped every nerve in her body, until she was tightly embraced by another small body, and the despair that spread out from her body subsided a little.

Her sister hugged her like a mother, gently patted her back, and sang the ballad that her mother taught to coax her, Xia Wei actually fell asleep slowly under her comfort.

When she woke up again, it was already dawn, remembering what she saw in the moonlight last night, Xia Wei's whole body trembled, she called her sister in fear, and the room alone made her unable to calm down.

When her sister heard her voice, she quickly went into the house, holding in her hand wild fruits wrapped in green leaves, and there were only three of them, but all of them were full and watery, and they were delicious at first sight.

Although Xia Wei was hungry, she was sad and couldn't eat, she asked her sister if they had become orphans, and her sister stuffed the fruit into her hands, touched her hair and said that as long as she was still there, she would never let her sister become an orphan.

Her sister will always be more mature and sensible than her, as her mother and father said when they were alive.

She doesn't think so, isn't it natural for her sister to take care of her sister? To this day, she still thinks that way. When she took the fruit, she saw the wounds on her sister's hands, she casually asked what was the matter, and her sister smiled and replied that it was nothing, and she continued to eat the fruit with peace of mind.

It wasn't until later that she learned that her sister had buried her parents alone in the middle of the night after she had fallen asleep, and at dawn she had gone back to the mountains to pick wild fruits for her for breakfast, and had not slept all night.

Xia Wei felt that she was still young, but she forgot that her seemingly mature sister was obviously a twin with her.

Huayu Village is no longer inhabitable, just looking for food is difficult for the two children, and in autumn there are wild fruits in the mountains to barely satisfy their stomachs, but what about winter?

Xia Wei didn't think about it so much, she just had to follow her sister.

Her sister finally took her out of Huayu Village, and the two children with the same appearance came to Shinan Town hand in hand, unlike Huayu Village, the town is still prosperous and beautiful.

The two stood in the middle of the street, and passers-by looked at them from time to time, with surprise and sympathy in their eyes, after all, the two of them had eaten wild fruits for so many days, and they had already become skinny and malnourished.

Because of this, no one notices them anymore, except for the occasional glance.

Her sister led her to the side of the street and walked along the various shops, the smell of food coming from the store made Xia Wei swallow her saliva, she did not hesitate to tell her sister that she was hungry, her sister looked at her gently, and then pulled her into a small alley to let her wait quietly, but her sister turned and left.

Xia Wei didn't stop her, she knew that her sister was looking for food for her.

After a long time, her sister came back, holding a steaming meat bun in her hand, with a happy smile on her face, she took the bun and devoured it, and her sister stood aside and watched her eat, as if she would be happy as long as she ate happily.

After hesitating for a long time, Xia Wei still pulled half of the bun and gave it to her sister, who was stunned for a moment, but then took it happily, Xia Wei knew that her sister was also hungry.

Later, a few days later, an older man took the initiative to talk to them, and when they talked about their backgrounds, her sister lied, saying that the two were from other places, and that there was a flood in the house, so they were separated from their families.

Xia Wei didn't understand why her sister lied, but she didn't ask, she only had her sister now, and she just followed her sister wherever she went.

Luckily, the old man was not a trafficker, but a housekeeper of a large family in the town, and when he saw that they were pitiful, he took them back and said that he would arrange a job for them, so that they would have a place to live.

Her sister kowtowed to this person, and she followed suit, and the old man became more and more kind to the two.

With the help of the old man, the two sisters did not die in the cold winter that followed, and grew up smoothly.
