Chapter 1
This is the 18th day of our escape.

In late autumn, the vegetation is sparse and the autumn wind is bleak.

The little fish was nestled in a pile of hay, staring longingly at the thin, fragrant, and steaming multigrain porridge in front of him, and pursed his lips.

"Yu'er, you're older. Don't go hungry. I'll save this porridge for my brother."

Xiao Yu'er swallowed: "Mom, then you and dad are older than me, why can you eat it too?"

Dad glanced at Xiao Yu'er and lowered his head.

Mother coughed lightly, "My brothers are young and cannot stand hunger. Your father and I are old and cannot stand hunger either."

Therefore, Xiao Yu'er, who was only six years old, could not stand the hunger. She lowered her eyebrows and eyes with interest, staring at the tip of the shoe with one toe exposed.

The little fish was cold and hungry in the hay, counting stars through the gaps.

The stars are very beautiful, one after another, big ones are bright, small ones are dim, flying around, clattering... I tossed and turned for a long time before I couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep.

In the second half of the night, Xiaoyuer was so hungry that he felt like a fire was burning in his belly, and finally he couldn't bear it anymore.

"Shh, take it easy."

"Ah-wu." I don't know if it was Dabao or Erbao, but his mouth was covered.

"Ayue, do we really not want fish anymore?"

Wang Yue lowered her voice: "Keep it down! Let's go find Third Uncle. Can Third Uncle be happy with bringing so many people? Besides, it's just a small amount of food. Anyway, she's not her biological child. Raising her for six years is already a great kindness. !”

"Hurry up!" Wang Yue urged, and Wang Youjin sighed.

It took a while for the little fish to crawl out of the haystack. His small body looked at the retreating figure in the night with red eyes.

Blinking his dry eyes, Xiao Yu'er didn't want to cry, but the tears flowed out unobediently...

Six years ago, Xiao Yu'er was a baby that was placed in a wooden basin and floated down the river. It was picked up by fishermen in Wangjia Village. Wang Youjin and his wife, who had been married for many years and had no children, kindly adopted the abandoned baby.

Four years later, Wang Yue, the adoptive mother, gave birth to twins. From then on, Xiao Yuer fell out of favor.

But before the famine years ago, they did not deprive Xiao Yu'er of food and drink, and even asked her to learn how to read with the most knowledgeable old scholar in the village. Now, in order to save her life, they had to abandon Xiao Yu'er.

Xiao Yu'er respects their choice and understands their helplessness. They have no relationship with Xiao Yu'er, but they have raised her for six years, and Xiao Yu'er does not blame them.

"I hope father, mother, and Dabao will be safe and smooth from now on, and can live a good life with plenty of meat!"

Xiaoyuer looked at the stars in the sky and prayed to God seriously.

When the first ray of sunlight came through, the little fish skillfully tied the hay into a bundle and used a rope twisted from hay to carry the pile of hay on his back. A cooked potato fell out of the haystack.

Xiao Yuer bent down to pick up the potatoes, knowing that they must have been secretly left to her by her adoptive father Wang Youjin.

She was so hungry that she ate half of it in one sitting.

The morning in late autumn was very cold, but there was a thin layer of frost, so she had to set out early and lick the green frost on the road until her tongue was stiff from the cold and she felt no longer thirsty. However, she was a six-year-old The little girl couldn't survive on her own.

So, Xiao Yuer walked around and asked, is there any kind-hearted person who wants a child?Everyone shook their heads. If they didn't have enough to eat, who would raise a child who was a freeloader?
The strong desire to survive made Xiao Yu'er unwilling to give up. She walked and asked questions all the way. After asking for five days, she had finished eating her potatoes.

In the north of Yun State, there was a severe drought for three years, followed by a locust plague, resulting in no harvest.

Xiao Yu'er heard the old scholar say that the imperial court sent people to provide disaster relief many times, but corrupt officials took over, and very little food fell into the hands of the people. The people who could not survive had to flee east, west, and south.

Wang Youjin was among the second group of people to flee the famine. People said that if it were later, they might not even be able to chew the bark of the trees.Xiao Yu'er was so hungry that her hands and feet were weak. She thought that she would soon be a dead body on the road to escape, and maybe she would be eaten as food by the people fleeing on the road.

At night, the little fish followed the refugees to the forest to rest. Someone started a fire to dispel the chill of late autumn. No one was afraid of wild beasts at this time, because no wild beast at the moment was as ferocious as these people whose eyes were so hungry that their eyes turned green!
When the last ray of sunset disappeared from the horizon, everyone began to prepare dinner. Xiaoyu'er's stomach growled with hunger. Looking at the wild vegetable porridge with only a few grains of rice, Xiaoyu couldn't help but raise his hand to wipe it. He was obviously very thirsty, but still... The tears flowed out. I endured it again and again, but I couldn't hold it anymore.

"Uncle and aunt, do you want a child? I am easy to raise."

"Uncle, aunt, I am very good and can work. Can you support me?"

"Grandpa, grandma, do you still have children at home?"

"..."

Everyone looked at this thin girl with only a handful of bones left, big eyes, and although her clothes were tattered, she was still fair, and shook their heads.

These days, Xiao Yu'er couldn't remember how many people she had asked, but no one wanted to raise her.

At night, Xiaoyuer was too hungry. She lay drowsily on her haystack, feeling her breath getting weaker and weaker. Looking at the shining stars, a drop of crystal clear tears fell from the corner of her eyes. Was she going to die?

It's a nice place here, surrounded by mountains and rivers. Although the water has dried up, it looks like a geomantic treasure, so let's die here!
"In the next life, I hope I can be a child who is loved by my parents and relatives and can have enough to eat..."

"Hey, kid! Kid, wake up!"

Xiao Yu'er felt water dripping into his mouth. He subconsciously opened his mouth and swallowed slowly. The juice turned out to be sweet!

With a little sourness, it is the fragrance of fruit!

The little fish subconsciously swallowed hard, drying up his life and strongly wanting to be revived...

"Kid, wake up." Someone was patting Xiao Yu'er's face.

After a while, Xiao Yu'er felt like he was alive and slowly opened his eyes.

The blurred vision gradually became clear, and what came into view was a young woman wearing a lake blue gown, who looked taciturn and dressed like a scholar.

Xiao Yu'er raised his eyes slightly. The woman's soul was as clean as the morning mist, white and shiny.

But above her head there is a purple official luck entwined with a trace of black energy.

"You..." Xiao Yu'er suddenly woke up!

She had some strange memories when she was very young, and she knew things that others, even the most knowledgeable old scholar in the village, didn't know.

In memory, she was a seven-colored fish raised by the Queen Mother in Yaochi. She was born with the ability to see everyone's soul and destiny.

When she was handed over to Wang Youjin by the villagers of Wangjia Village, she saw an almost invisible white luck on their heads.

This means that they have no offspring and no descendants, but they raised Xiao Yu'er and treated her very well. In just three years, her luck became like that of a normal person.

A few months later, the adoptive mother Wang Yue was happy.

There are usually five colors of luck: purple, green, red, pink, and white.

The luck of ordinary people is white, the luck of wealthy people is red, the luck of people with great fortune is green, the luck of pink represents love, and the luck of people with great talents is purple.

The luck on the woman's head in front of Xiao Yu'er was a rare purple color.

It's a pity that this luck is contaminated with the black energy that represents death.

She is destined to die soon!
