At the end of her words, the old woman could no longer hide her fervent desire in her eyes.
"Where did we get the sweet potatoes?"
Mrs. Han sighed and brought her a mouthful of soup that she had not yet finished drinking to show her.
"If there were sweet potatoes, why would you be reluctant to drink rice soup?"
The old woman didn't believe it. She suddenly stood up and knelt on the ground, crying:
"Sister-in-law, to tell you the truth, my little grandson has not had anything to eat these days and is so hungry that he is hanging on his breath! If there is no more food, I'm afraid he won't be able to make it through tonight!"
Lin Yueru sat on the edge and said nothing. She wanted to take the opportunity to see what the Han family would do.
The old woman cried sincerely.
"Please, just give a bite to my grandson, and I will let him spend the rest of his life working like a cow to repay you!"
Old Mrs. Han was startled, and she looked at Mr. Han, and the two of them stepped forward and pulled the old woman up forcefully.
"Sister, it's not that we're so cruel that we won't save you, it's really that there's nothing we can do!"
Boss Han also sighed and said sincerely: "Mom, we just smelled a fragrance, but it's not from our family! If we had food, the child wouldn't be so hungry and thin!"
As he spoke, he pointed at Xiao Si Bao, who had been weak since childhood.
An Jun and An Xing hid behind Liu Qiumei and closed her mouth tightly, fearing that the sweet potato flavor would escape from her mouth.
Seeing that everyone in the Han family didn't have any flaw in their words, and that they had nothing left after biting them to death, the old woman also had a little self-doubt.
Could it be that she really smelled it wrong just now?
Finding nothing, the old woman had no choice but to wipe her tears and walk out of the cave with a sigh.
Looking at her thin and frail figure, everyone felt uncomfortable.
But these days, self-preservation is still a difficult problem. Who has the energy to save the world?
If you want to blame, blame God!
After the old woman came out of the cave, Han Lao Er was more cautious and followed her out of the cave to take a look at the situation outside.
As soon as I poked my head in, I met countless pairs of eyes!
He was startled, and so were the many pairs of eyes outside!
Han Laoer reacted quickly, turned around, picked up the guy, and shouted.
"Brother, there's someone outside! I don't know him. Why don't you take the third child with you to see if he's looking for you?!"
These words leave room for outsiders to change things.
As expected, the other party didn't want to make a big fuss, so he immediately borrowed Po Xia's donkey.
"We were looking for the wrong brother, brother! Don't be nervous, it's dark and you can't see clearly. We were looking for our brothers, but we were looking for the wrong place!"
Boss Han pulled Han Yanqing out and said in a rough voice: "Second brother, what's wrong?"
"It's okay! Brother, we made the mistake. I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"
When the people outside saw that there were two strong men inside, they were even more discouraged and kept saying soft words.
Boss Han snorted coldly, his attitude was very arrogant.
"I thought it was those brothers from our family who caught up! If you find something wrong, leave quickly. Our elderly and children need to rest early!"
Lin Yueru curled up her lips in the cave.
The two Han brothers look simple and honest, but they are actually quite smart!
When the village was fleeing from famine, everyone was focused on their own affairs. There were no brothers. It was just a bluff!
But these half-truths and half-false words made the people outside even more unsure. After looking at each other, they all retreated.
The two of them stayed at the entrance of the cave for a while, and after confirming that nothing unusual happened, they pulled Han Yanqing into the cave.
Everyone looked at each other under the moonlight with complicated emotions.
If the old woman had revealed even the slightest flaw just now, those people guarding the entrance to the cave outside would have been able to rush up and rob them all!
At this time, talking about human nature is the most ridiculous.
After this incident, Lin Yueru didn't dare to sleep peacefully at night.
Han Lao Er and Han Lao Er were very tired from pushing the cart during the day, so it was obviously unrealistic to ask them to keep watch all night.
But Lin Yueru always felt uneasy in her heart, and even when she closed her eyes, she tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.
She simply stopped sleeping and paid attention to the movement around her while focusing on organizing things in the space.
Suddenly, something brushed against her nose, making Lin Yueru itchy so much that she wanted to sneeze!
She immediately withdrew her mind from the space.
When she opened her eyes, she saw that it was Han Yanqing who was not asleep. He was holding the tail of her hair, smiling and swiping at the tip of her nose!
She pulled her hair back and whispered: "Why aren't you asleep yet and you want to wake me up too?"
Under the moonlight, Han Yanqing's eyes were still very bright.
He exposed her in a low voice: "My wife is a liar! I've heard it all, you're not asleep!"
Lin Yueru was startled, "Can you hear this?"
Han Yanqing raised her chin proudly, "Of course! Listen, everyone is asleep except the Four Treasures!"
Lin Yueru doesn't have any martial arts foundation in her current body. If there were a fight, she might be able to win by relying on moves and inertia, but her hearing ability is really far behind.
She sat up and looked around, and sure enough, Si Bao was nestled in Zhao Shuangtao's arms, with a pair of big eyes rolling around.
Han Yanqing always refreshed her imagination of him again and again.
She suppressed her surprise and asked him in a low voice: "Then why aren't you sleeping yet?"
Han Yanqing curled his lips and muttered in a low voice: "I haven't eaten enough, so I can't sleep."
When Lin Yueru heard this, she almost laughed out loud.
When Han Yanqing saw her smile, his face turned red and he turned around angrily like a child.
"Daughter-in-law laughed at Yan Qing, I won't play with you anymore!"
Lin Yueru quickly held his shoulders and turned him back.
"Okay, okay, I'm not laughing at you, I just think... you are very cute, cuter than many people."
"real?"
"real."
Lin Yueru coaxed him while looking for something in the space.
After looking around, she didn't see anything convenient to take out, so she had to pick a peach from the tree.
Oddly enough, the space seems to have a constant temperature, and crops can grow here all year round!
After washing it with stream water, she pretended to take it out from her arms and said, "I picked this up today. You can eat it to cushion your stomach."
Han Yanqing's eyes lit up and saliva kept secreting in his mouth.
This peach is big and tender. Just by looking at it, you can imagine the sweetness of the flesh. If you bite into it, there will probably be juice flowing down the corner of your mouth!
Lin Yueru handed it forward, but Han Yanqing held back her saliva and pushed it back righteously.
"My wife hasn't had enough to eat either, so you eat!"
Lin Yueru shook her head, "I have a small appetite and I'm already full."
"Then give it to mother! Give it to the Three Treasures and Four Treasures!"
Han Yanqing couldn't help but glance at the peach, and simply covered her eyes.
Lin Yueru wanted to laugh but also felt touched.
This is truly a sincere and chivalrous person.
Lin Yueru pulled his hand down and handed the peach to his mouth.
He coaxed softly: "Eat, we will have a lot of delicious food in the future, do you believe me?"
Han Yanqing nodded without hesitation, "Believe it!"
He said wistfully, "But I don't want to eat alone."
Lin Yueru smiled and said: "You don't eat peaches for free. If you still can't sleep after eating peaches, just help me listen to see if there is any strange movement around, okay?"
"good!"
Han Yanqing excitedly took the peach and ate it carefully without wasting even a drop of juice.
After he finished eating and threw away the peach core, Lin Yueru lay back down again, closed her eyes and sorted out the things in the space.
In the second half of the night, the surroundings were still very quiet.
Lin Yueru was about to fall asleep when she was suddenly patted on the head gently by Han Yanqing.
