Tong Xiaoye nodded without thinking too much. She was only eleven years old and could not hear the attachment and lingering in these words. Furthermore, one was a young lady and the other was a slave. She would never think of this loud sound.
The affection behind Brother Zhu.
After finally heating up the food, Tong Xiaoye's eyes were reddened by the smoke from the firewood, and she shed tears. There was also a slight dustiness on her face, and a few strands of hair hung down on both sides of her cheeks.
"Sister-in-law Jinyan, let's just eat some." Tong Xiaoye looked at the vegetables without any starch and the dry corn pancakes, and said hesitantly, "It may not be very delicious, but it is better than being hungry."
It was indeed difficult to swallow. Xuan Jinyan bit into it. The corn tortilla was bright and beautiful in color, but the taste was really average. It was dry and hard. It stuck in the throat and neither went down nor up. It made her face turn red from holding it in.
.
In desperation, Tong Xiaoye scooped out a spoonful of cold water from the nearby water tank and handed it to Xuan Jinyan. With this mouthful of cold water, Xuan Jinyan managed to swallow the corn cake that was stuck in her throat.
"I won't eat it, it's too unpalatable." Xuan Jinyan handed the corn pancake to Tong Xiaoye and frowned.
"But, you are not in good health, and being hungry is not the solution. Eat slowly, and you may feel better." Tong Xiaoye persuaded worriedly, and ate in small bites, "Outside is not as good as at home, and auntie also
I told you, she is avoiding it, and her life will definitely be much harder."
"She can choose a better place and prepare more silver." Xuan Jinyan said softly. She was indeed hungry, but those corn pancakes were indeed too hard to swallow.
Tong Xiaoye smiled and said: "There are naturally many people in a good place, and the chance of her being discovered by her enemies is also high. For example, if we are left in a good place, we may be able to escape easily, and there are many people."
, there are many people who have seen us, and some clues will reach the ears of my brother and your brother. But now, this place is called Tiantian, and the earth is not working. My brother and your brother are more crowded than any other place.
It will be much slower to find us.”
"But, she can spend money to buy some delicious food and put it at home." Xuan Jinyan sighed softly, "How does she survive if she only eats these?"
"If you want to avoid it, naturally you can't appear in front of others easily. If you want to buy things, you must go to the market. If you are discovered by the enemy, you will lose your life. So, you see, the aunt has chickens and ducks at home.
, and cattle plowing the land, and growing food by herself, she must have tried her best to avoid her enemies." Tong Xiaoye said with a smile, "She is not even interested in the gold and silver jewelry on our bodies. In other words, money is not interested in her.
It's no use."
"How do you know this?" Xuan Jinyan asked curiously.
"My parents told me that no matter how good the world is, there are still some bad people causing trouble, so they have been teaching me some things, telling me how to save myself in case of an accident and how to survive." Tong Xiaoye said with a smile,
"My parents said this is just in case."
Xuan Jinyan smiled and said: "Uncle and aunt are really interesting, they actually teach you this."
Tong Xiaoye smiled and said: "So, you must eat something. We have to live before my brother comes to save us. In fact, I think we are lucky enough not to fall into the hands of bad people. Although it is poorer here, aunt
But the people are very good.”
Xuan Jinyan reluctantly took the corn pancake again and ate it bit by bit with a grimace.
