On the thirty-seventh day of the severe drought, the wells in the village were dry, the fields were dead, and everyone was waiting to starve to death.
When Su Man woke up, she was in such a mess - her father was gone, her mother was gone, her three acres of thin farmland had no harvest, the rent reminder was pressed against her chest, and her seven-year-old brother was so hungry that he licked the water stains on the edge of the well.
If the rent cannot be paid within three days, the land will be taken away and the debt will be paid.
Everyone in the village said that the Su family siblings would not survive this summer.
Su Man glanced at the old forest to the east where no one dared to enter——
There is water, there is medicine, there is a way to survive.
Others are afraid of mountain ghosts, but she is afraid of starving her brother to death.
Armed with a hatchet and a red rope, she stepped into the dark forest.
Xixi, Panax notoginseng, hazel mushroom, astragalus... The treasures in the old forest, others dare not take them, but she dares to take them.
Are drug stores in town lowering prices? She knows more than the shopkeeper.
Village gossip? She didn't bother to answer.
Someone has an idea for her family? Let's see who can't bear it first.
From the three acres of Susukino fields to the mountains and forests, from half a piece of wild vegetable pancake to the guests at the medicine shop.
Su Man only wants to do one thing——
Take your brother with you and live like a human being.
