It's night.

Mosquitoes, which come back to life with the change of seasons, are chattering in the countryside.

The evening breeze blew through the big trees in the yard, making a rustling sound.

There is no sound of vehicle horns in the noisy city, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

There are no street lights installed on rural roads.

At a glance, all I see is the darkness on the other side of the mountain...

The households located in the mountains and fields are all hundreds of meters apart.

When the night falls into silence, after a tiring day of farming, everyone returns home and falls asleep...

Corn seedlings with green heads are resting in the soil.

In this small village that not many people noticed and seemed to be isolated from the world, only one house still had the lights on.

Next to the dim electric light, a few moths kept hitting and making soft noises.

Because the house is a little damp, the wooden furniture in the house has a faint smell of decay...

Behind the bright red curtain.

A young girl was guarding a large, steaming iron pot.

His eyes kept turning and looking into the pot carefully...

Not long.

It seems that the things cooked in the pot are almost done.

She struggled to pick up a rough-made iron spoon placed next to her right hand, scooped up half a spoonful of soup from the pot, and carefully brought it to her mouth.

"Huh...ahhh!"

After two puffs of air conditioning, she took a sip of the soup.

"Well, not bad."

The girl's face was full of smiles. She quickly searched for available bowls in this room, rummaged through the cabinets and scooped up four bowls of soup. She took out each bowl with great attention.

Walked through the cloth curtain and finally placed it on the wooden table...

"Su, try it soon, it tastes good!"

The young man at the table rested his head on his hands and took a nap.

After hearing Chen Yaxuan's voice, he lazily opened his eyes and looked at the bowl that had been used for an unknown age and the soup inside.

The soup is very simple.

It's just a little white, with boiled white radish inside...

Su Zao took a taste and found that it tasted really good. He couldn't help but give Chen Yaxuan a thumbs up.

"My cooking skills have improved a bit, right? No cooking this time!"

Chen Yaxuan became even happier after receiving the compliment, and put the remaining bowls of carrot soup on the table.

but.

Just when she was about to eat, she looked toward the corner of the earth-walled house.

There.

There were two people who were tied up and had tape wrapped around their mouths...

One old and one young.

The old man looks to be in his seventies or eighties. His legs and feet are very inconvenient, and even some of his bones are obviously deformed. It must be that he did too much hard work when he was young, which caused his body to deteriorate too seriously in old age.

And the youngest one is only six or seven years old.

He squinted his big eyes, very curious about these two visitors who tied him and his grandfather at home...

If you look carefully.

It is not difficult to see that there are still tears under the corners of the little boy's eyes, clearly showing that he has cried.

Hesitate for a moment.

Chen Yaxuan still couldn't bear to turn her head to look at Su Zao and suggested: "How about we take off the tape on their mouths? It's late at night, and keeping them tied up like this is not an option. It's impossible to keep them there all the time. Why don’t you eat when you’re hungry?”

In fact, Su Zao really wanted to answer that he would starve to death.

Anyway, when he first led Chen Yaxuan to this destination, he immediately wanted to get rid of these two troubles.

If Chen Yaxuan hadn't begged for mercy, it would be impossible for the old and the young to be alive now...

only.

Maybe it’s because I still have some special feelings for Chen Yaxuan in my heart.

Even Su Zao, whose second personality occupies his body, still subconsciously chooses to listen to Chen Yaxuan...

So Su Zao impatiently stretched out his fingers, and after making some gestures out of thin air, the tape on the mouths of the grandfather and grandson was untied.

"grandfather!"

"Don't make any noise."

The child, who had regained the freedom to speak, originally wanted to say something to his grandfather, but was interrupted by his grandfather with a majestic look on his face, so he had to keep all his words and questions in his heart.

And what is different from ordinary people is.

This old man must have seen the world...

After realizing that something was wrong with the young man in front of him, he did not make a fuss or insult the intruder.

He just sat quietly on the ground, waiting silently for Chen Yaxuan to come to him with a bowl.

"Grandpa, I cooked something, come and eat some."

The old man is very obedient.

Chen Yaxuan fed him spoonfuls of soup, and he didn't seem to resent the two people who broke into his home and tied him and his grandson up...

Su Zao was drinking soup on the wooden table.

He didn't care about Chen Yaxuan feeding the grandfather and grandson.

Just looking up at the sky through the window alone...

After Chen Yaxuan finished feeding her grandfather and grandson, she also scooped out the soup and radishes from the big pot and swallowed them all.

She is so hungry...

Ever since Su Zao took her out of the rental house and arrived at this village after two days of journey, she had not eaten a bite at all.

She didn't know what "old friend" Su Zao was hiding from.

I just know that I only have two choices now.

Either believe Su Zao, or run home and tell your family what happened, and then call the police.

I feel ashamed that Su Zao killed someone just to save himself.

Chen Yaxuan couldn't bear to send Su Zao to prison, so she finally chose the seemingly absurd former...

Su Zao has many secrets.

She was also very curious on the way over.

But because Su Zao didn't want to say anything, she chose to believe Su Zao, so she didn't ask.

Chen Yaxuan thought naively...

No matter what happened to Su Zao.

This stupid kid who was originally stupid should not be able to hurt himself...

After experiencing despair.

At this time, I believed in Su Zao without any hesitation.

The light that appeared in the darkness was also the fundamental reason why she could forget her pain and fear so quickly.

This village is very small.

Also very poor.

The two people who came here could only find a few sticks of rob to cook in the grandson's home. There was no rice, and even the seasonings were only simple salt.

only.

This bitter meal was the most delicious meal Chen Yaxuan had ever eaten in her life...

When the pot was scooped dry, she was still licking her mouth.

"Little girl, if you are not full, there are a few small potatoes beside the firewood pile, which can be used to fill your stomach."

Seeing Chen Yaxuan's embarrassment.
