Another two difficult days had passed. At this moment, there was no rush of laughter in the morning. Everyone was not as relaxed and indifferent as on the first day of work. After all, the hard work of the past few months had gone down the drain. Unwillingness and helplessness were engraved on everyone's faces. Now, even food had become the most direct problem. The food that had always been monotonous was now worth reminiscing and nostalgia. After all, it was the most basic need that a person had to face every day.

"There's no food to eat today. There's only boiling water in the kitchen.”Third Brother sighed and turned around to walk around the back of the house. Zhiyuan stuck his head out and looked into the kitchen. There was no food on the empty chopping board. There was only a pot of boiling water in the empty kitchen. There was a continuous stream of boiling steam above the stove.

Everyone swarmed into the kitchen and rummaged through it. Everything was just as Third Brother had said. There was nothing to eat. Everyone rushed into the kitchen like greedy rats and quickly walked out with disappointed expressions. Zhiyuan stood far away. He believed that there was nothing left to eat. Reality also proved that third brother was not a selfish person and never lied. Whether it was in the past or in times of danger, third brother always maintained his honesty to everyone. Zhiyuan was facing an even colder reality on this sunny and warm morning. The dark clouds in the youth's sky chased the direction of the footprints. The sun rose in the east, and the sky was golden under the sunlight. It was like Zhiyuan's life in the flower season when the sun rose. Confidence and strength wavered in the midst of disappointment.

Zhiyuan sat alone by the dried river in front of the house. The wheat field on the other side of the river was a green wheat field. The wheat that was about to head extended from the village to the barren foot of the mountain. The breeding before the harvest was full of expectations and the first harvest given by the earth. The peach trees and apple trees at the foot of the mountain were already luxuriant. The climate here was similar to that of his hometown. In the past season, Zhiyuan had already started fishing in the river in front of the village. The clear river water slowly flowed eastward, and the fish in the river were swimming in groups against the current or with the current, swimming in his childhood memories.

Everyone gradually quieted down as they sighed and complained. Perhaps it was because of hunger, everyone's expression was no longer passionate. The tone of their loud curses gradually disappeared in the dejected atmosphere. The surroundings were dead silent. Everyone should have gone back to their rooms to pack their luggage. Zhiyuan was also considering when to leave this nightmarish brothel. He should be more depressed than anyone else. His gloomy and aggrieved expression covered the weakness and helplessness of his tears. The chimney of the brick kiln behind the house was still panting heavily. The master of the kiln was still sticking to his sacred duty. The masters of the kiln all followed a rule,'Do not let the kiln fire that you have lit go out halfway.'He wanted to fill the last shovel of coal in his hand and fire the last brick in the furnace. Except for the irresistible will of heaven, they would not care about any external interference. He was like a faithful believer, carefully watching the burning furnace every day, regardless of the time and rain.

Zhiyuan was thinking that it was time for him to pack his luggage and leave. There was no longer any hope or reason for him to stay, and Yang Wu would not miraculously appear in front of everyone. The sun was about to rise to the top of his head, and his stomach was growling with hunger. Zhiyuan's fear of hunger was far less than his worry about the future and tomorrow. The future would come and tomorrow would pass quickly. He was imagining what kind of situation he would be in tomorrow. Would he still be as miserable as he was today?
