Chapter 258. The Best Candidate
Old man Hua nodded, feeling his son was thinking correctly. As he watched his increasingly mature son, he was genuinely gratified.
"You’re right. We can’t wait for the temperature to completely rise; by then, it will be too late to leave. The water is so deep now, and by the time it’s passable, another month might have gone by. We don’t have much time and can’t waste it like this."
Old man Hua clearly remembered that his granddaughter’s dream indicated only a few months of buffer time after the hardship of hunger and cold. It was called a buffer, but in reality, the disaster hadn’t ended. In many places, plague was rampant, and finding a piece of clean land was really difficult.
Before they could fully recover, there was a great drought followed by extreme heat. Many were killed by the heat alone, with corpses lying everywhere, either dead from plague or from the high temperatures.
But there’s no need to hurry. There’s still quite a temperature difference until minus twenty or thirty degrees, enough time for them to prepare.
Jin’er sat obediently next to her grandfather, occasionally popping nuts into her mouth, smiling as she watched the two most important people beside her discuss.
After the father and son made their decision, both felt a bit relieved, and Jin’er stuffed a milk candy into each of their mouths, not worrying about sticking Grandpa’s teeth together, making the old man laugh.
Lightly swirling the sweet milk taste in his mouth, he chatted aimlessly with his son and suddenly slapped his knee, startling Hua Chengtian and Jin’er to look at him.
"Chengtian, I almost forgot, the kids ran into Luo Song over a month ago."
"Really? Wasn’t the kid in the city? How did he get back?" Hua Chengtian was truly shocked.
