Chapter 3 I'm Hungry

   When Gu Yundong woke up again, it was on Yang's back, and the sound of her wheezing walking came from her ears.

  The Yang family is very thin, and Gu Yundong clearly felt that her shoulders were shaking, as if she would be crushed if she was not careful.

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

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

  Gu Yunshu also heard the sound, and hurriedly raised his head, "Eldest 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 little narrow, and there were no people on the road. It was getting dark now, and they had to find a place to spend the night.

   "Let's go back and spend the night in the village we went to last night. It's a bit 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 recognizes. The eldest sister needs to rest, and he is also very afraid.

   Only then did Gu Yundong realize that there were leech marks on his neck, and with his somewhat huge head, it was especially shocking.

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

"He stole the eldest sister's money and ran away." Gu Yunshu finally couldn't hold back his smile, he lowered his head and wiped a tear, "Yunshu is useless, he didn't protect the eldest sister, and he didn't keep the money, sorry."

  Gu Yundong wanted to tell him not to cry. She had long understood that tears were the most useless thing in the last year of the apocalypse. If the money is gone, it will be gone. What's the use of crying, if there is a chance to let him return it tenfold and one 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 doesn'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." With that, he hugged the potato bag in his arms and puffed out his small chest.

  Gu Yundong, "…"

  Fortunately, the village they settled in will soon arrive. The village is quiet and there are almost no people. Everyone is dying and 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 family that was a little far from the center of the village. The place was not big, and it was better in a remote and quiet place, with only two families next to it.

   When he got to the house, Mr. Yang carefully put Gu Yundong down.

  Gu Yundong's strength has slowly recovered, but his head was smashed before, and he was still a little dizzy.

  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 when he was talking to Gu Yundong, he tried his best to smile so as not to worry her.

   After he finished 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 he was worried that his head would break at any time.

   He came in after a while with two bundles of thin 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, cherished, strung them together on the firewood and turned them around. When it was almost done, he handed her one.

  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 his 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." Having said that, his eyes floated up to the potatoes uncontrollably, and then he immediately lowered his head.

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