Chapter 88 Why do people live?

After the startling glance, the curtain of the carriage was lowered, and the young man's face could no longer be seen, and the carriage gradually moved away.

The Gu family also set up their mule carts and set off.

There were more victims on the road than in the past few days, and the people in the convoy were all energetic and on their way.

At noon, Uncle Ma asked him to stop and have a rest and eat solid food.

 Gu Fei drank some water and ate the steamed bun. As he was eating, he saw Mr. Qian next to him taking a coarse grain steamed bun, breaking it into two halves, handing half to Lian'er and putting the other half in his arms.

Gu Fei frowned and couldn't help but say, "Auntie, just give Lian'er half a bun. Can she eat enough? Besides, she has to walk with Xiaobao on her back!"

Qian rolled her eyes and said, "It's none of your business. Lian'er is the girl I bought. Even if I don't feed her, you have nothing to do with her."

Chen Shi pulled Gu Fei, "Forget it, it's useless even if you tell her, you can't control it."

Just as he was talking, Bao'er came over with an egg in his mouth, knocked the nest in Lian'er's hand with a snap, and stuck out his tongue at Lian'er, "Damn girl, you crybaby, just a little bit -"

Lian'er cried a lot this morning, and Bao'er saw it.

Gu Fei was so angry that he picked up half of the steamed bun and handed it to Lian'er. He glared at Bao'er fiercely and said, "You kid, why are you so bad? Thunder God doesn't even hit anyone who eats. How dare you do such a thing again?" I'll let Saburo hit you!"

Baoer made a face and ran away.

Lian'er's face was blank. She took the half of the steamed bun and stuffed it into her mouth without dusting it off.

Gu Fei hurriedly grabbed it and patted it, then pulled Lian'er aside, handed her the steamed bun, and broke off half of the steamed bun to her.

Lian'er held the steamed bun in her hand and looked at Gu Fei blankly, "I know you are kind-hearted. You don't need to worry about me. It doesn't matter whether I eat or not. Anyway, I don't want to live anymore."

Gu Fei frowned, "What nonsense are you talking about? Look at these people, who is not struggling to survive!"

“Have you forgotten why your mother sold you?”

Lian'er lowered her head and remained silent.

Gu Fei continued: "Your mother sold you so that you could survive. Those people who beat your mother and brother to death for food also wanted to survive."

“How can you say such a thing when you still have something to eat?”

“Do you want your mother to die without feeling at ease?”

Lian'er raised her head and gave a smile that was uglier than crying: "What's the point of living for me? My parents and brothers are gone. I'm just a lonely ghost in this world."



“You can still burn paper money for them during the Hungry Ghost Festival if you are alive. If you die too, your family will not even have anyone to burn paper money in the underworld, and your whole family will still suffer from poverty. Think about it, is this true?”

Lian'er blinked slowly and suddenly said: "Yes, I have to burn paper money for them and burn a house for them to live in, so that their life in the underworld will be easier."

Gu Fei smiled, "That's right. Only when people are alive can they have hope. Eat quickly. Eat so you can go on your way."

Lian'er quickly stuffed the steamed bun in her hand into her mouth. Once a person has the motivation to live, he will find ways to live.

She knew that if Qian saw this white-flour bun, she would definitely take it away!

Qian had seen it a long time ago.

It's just that Gu Fei is over there, so it's hard for her to go and grab him.

She quickly made a calculation in her mind. Since this girl Gu Fei was willing to raise Lian'er for her, it was just right. She didn't have to give her half a nest.
