Chapter 3
Under the moonlight, the group of four returned to the village.

"Chunhua, let's go back first. You should have a good rest when you go back!"

At the intersection, the middle-aged man glanced at the big fish held by Chen Xuan, then took it back and warned the middle-aged woman.

"Thank you, second brother. I'm in trouble this time. I'll ask Ergou to bring you some fish and meat later."

The middle-aged woman nodded and spoke gratefully to the middle-aged man.

"There is no need for fish meat. I don't know when Sanshan will come back. This fish can last a while. There is a big disaster this year. We can't help much."

The middle-aged man shook his head, sighed and spoke, and the figure led Chen Erzhuang towards another path.

"Let's go, Ergou, let's go back quickly. We have to deliver fish and meat to your second uncle's house later. It can't be too late."

The middle-aged woman spoke softly and then stepped forward.

"oh oh!"

Chen Xuan quickly agreed and trotted after him.

After about a quarter of an hour, the two finally arrived at their home.

Through the moonlight, Chen Xuan could clearly see the house that existed in his memory.

The piles of loess are topped with piles of withered thatch, giving you a sense of defeat at first glance.

When the two figures approached, a childish voice came from the room.

"Mother, is mother back?"

Then a child of two or three years old stumbled out.

Seeing the middle-aged woman and Chen Xuan, the child's eyes lit up and he rushed over.

The middle-aged woman quickly took over the child.

"Mother, I'm hungry!"

The child was hugged by his mother and seemed to feel at ease inexplicably, so he spoke softly.

"Be good, Shitou, we will have something to eat soon. My brother caught a big fish."

Hearing her youngest son's voice, the middle-aged woman felt a little distressed and spoke softly to comfort him.

"fish!"

"There are fish!"

"Guoguo, I caught a fish!"

"Stones want to eat fish, Guoguo, rocks want to eat fish!!"

Hearing his mother's words, the child's eyes lit up and he instantly looked at Chen Xuan behind him. When he saw the big fish on Chen Xuan's body, excitement appeared on his dark face.

Looking at this scene and looking at the almost bare home, Chen Xuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

But soon, he calmed down and hurried forward to touch his brother's little head.

"Eat fish, we eat fish!"

"Stone be good!"

Soft words spoke.

The little body is ready to handle it.

"Come on, mother, you will also send fish and meat to Erzhuang's family later!"

Zhang Chunhua felt a little distressed, but she took the big fish from the hands of her second son.

Chen Xuan hesitated slightly, but still did not struggle.

This fish weighs more than ten kilograms. Even if it is dead, it is not something he can handle. More importantly, his body is severely exhausted at the moment, and his body may not even have the strength to kill the fish due to long-term hunger.

Chen Xuan let go.

Zhang Chunhua took Da Yu into the kitchen.

The slaughter began.

After a moment.

She lifted out a piece of fish cut open with a straw rope. It weighed about four or five kilograms, not to mention half, but one-third.

"Ergou, do you still have the strength?"

Zhang Chunhua looked at her second son and spoke softly.

"Mother, there are more."

Although Chen Xuan struggled, he still nodded.

It was already very late now. If I had waited until after eating before sending it over, Chen Erzhuang's family would have already fallen asleep.

As for tomorrow, there is no preservation technology in this era, and there is no salt, so tomorrow will probably stink.

"Well, then go quickly and come back quickly."

"The food should be ready by then."

Zhang Chunhua nodded and handed the fish to Chen Xuan.

"Okay, mother!"

Chen Xuan nodded, took the straw rope, and then walked out of the room, heading towards Chen Erzhuang's home in his memory.

At this moment, the footsteps are getting heavier and heavier.

Fortunately, Chen Erzhuang's home was not far from his. In about a quarter of an hour, Chen Xuan arrived at Chen Erzhuang's home.

Compared with his family, Chen Erzhuang's family is not much better. It is still two somewhat dilapidated khaki thatched houses.

"Dong dong dong!" "Who is it!"

There was a knock on the door, and a middle-aged woman's voice came from the room.

"Second aunt, it's me!"

Chen Xuan spoke with difficulty.

"Two dogs?"

The middle-aged woman was a little surprised, but she quickly opened the door.

"Second aunt, this is the fish I caught today. My mother asked me to bring some to you, Second aunt."

Looking at the haggard woman who appeared, Chen Xuan spoke, and then handed over the fish in his hand.

"This!"

The middle-aged woman was a little dazed. She subconsciously reached out her hand, but stopped halfway.

"Er Gou, you are having a hard time now, so you should keep it to yourself!"

Although there was some reluctance in her eyes, she still spoke.

"It's okay, Second Uncle. I have enough at home. Thanks to Second Uncle for coming to me today, if I don't finish eating today, it will be spoiled tomorrow."

Chen Xuan smiled and spoke, then forced his right hand over.

"This this!"

The middle-aged woman took it subconsciously.

"Second aunt, my mother is still waiting for me to eat, so she will go back first."

When Chen Xuan saw the middle-aged woman taking the fish, he said something quickly and ran back the way he came.

"This child!"

Looking at Chen Xuan leaving, the middle-aged woman sighed.

Then he took the fish and closed the door.

"Who is it!"

At this moment, Chen Ershan walked out of the room.

"It's Ergou. Chunhua said they can't finish the fish and meat, so she'll give us some."

The middle-aged woman spoke softly.

"How do you pick this up? Send it back quickly!"

"They had nothing to eat in the first place!"

After listening to his wife's words, Chen Ershan's expression changed and he spoke quickly.

"The people have left. Don't we still have some corn? Let's send some to them tomorrow."

The middle-aged woman smiled bitterly and spoke softly.

"Fine!"

Chen Ershan hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

And the other side.

Chen Xuan has returned home in a hurry.

However, after running for a while, his chest almost exploded again. He had to stop and gasp for air just less than a few dozen meters away.

"Damn, this world!"

He couldn't help but cursed secretly. After a while, his breath gradually calmed down, and Chen Xuan returned home.

At this moment, there is already a fragrance filling the house.

Even without any condiments, the smell of fish still made him salivate instantly.

"I'm back. Eat quickly. You can sleep well after eating!"

Seeing her son come back, Zhang Chunhua steeled herself and smiled.

"Ok!"

Chen Xuan nodded lightly.

Then the family sat at the table.

Although Zhang Chunhua said that the fish meat would smell bad tomorrow, it was obvious that it was only a little over a pound.

The three of them shared the food, and Chen Xuan, a young man, was quickly wiped out.

Chen Xuan even felt that his stomach was still empty.

"Mother, the stone is not full yet!"

The younger brother, Xiao Shitou, spoke softly to Zhang Chunhua.

"Be good, Shitou. If you eat too much, you won't be able to sleep. How about I eat again when I get up tomorrow?"

Zhang Chunhua comforted her youngest son softly.

"Okay, Shitou listens to mother."

Xiao Shitou nodded heavily.

Looking at this scene, Chen Xuan couldn't help but want to cry. Such a child should have been carefree in his previous life, but in this damn world, he couldn't even eat enough.
