As soon as Gu Linchuan opened his eyes, he was transformed from the wasteland of the apocalypse into an ancient farmer who was too poor to open the pot.
There were five stepdaughters in the house, the oldest was only twelve years old, and the youngest was still coughing up blood. They were all sallow and thin, and looked timid when meeting people. The original owner was an alcoholic gambler who owed a lot of debt and died in an unknown manner, leaving a mess in the house.
Outside the house is a drafty adobe house, and inside the house even the stove ashes have been cold for three days. The rice vat was bottomed out, the firewood was damp, and even the wild vegetables were dug up until only their roots were left. To make matters worse, creditors came to the door every now and then, staring at the five girls with chilling eyes.
As soon as Gu Linchuan woke up, he ran into a debt collector's door.
He had no way out.
He picked up the broken hatchet beside the door and forced the person back. When he turned around, he saw five pairs of frightened and desperate eyes - they were not relying on him, but were waiting for a new disaster to come.
From that day on, he did not dare to die again.
During the day, he would go hunting in the mountains and often return empty-handed; at night, he would guard the sick and weak children, not even daring to cut off the fire. The house collapsed during the rainy season, food was cut off in the cold winter, and the youngest stepdaughter had a high fever for three days. He knelt down to beg for medicine but was kicked out.
He survived a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, but almost lost a ration of food and a penny.
This family is not only poor, but is also driving people to a dead end step by step.
But he insisted on finding a way out of this dead end.
