This thing is not expensive, but it is not very convenient to carry on the road. Ningxia only exchanged for about twenty of them. Judging from the appearance of the two little guys, she didn't have anything more nutritious on hand, so it was estimated that all of them would go into the stomachs of the brother and sister.

Lin Yi stood aside, feeling a little uneasy. He wanted to help, but he didn't know what to do. Sangsang, on the other hand, was unexpectedly cheerful, as if he had calmed down. He stepped forward and squatted by the stove, his eyes sparkling. "Xia Xia, Dan Dan."

Ningxia had a blank expression on her face. Kids these days are more cautious than ever. Just looking at Lin Yi, she knew it had been a long time since she had seen such a fearless child. "Why do you call me Xia Xia?"

The little girl smiled and said, "Because your name is Xia Xia," and then pointed at herself, "Sangsang," and then pointed at Lin Yi, "Brother!"

Ningxia gave him a perfunctory smile. Lin Yi, who was standing by, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Ningxia was not angry.

Ningxia looked at Sangsang's lively expression thoughtfully. A nine-year-old shouldn't be so... 'innocent'. Sangsang's behavior was more like that of a four or five-year-old. Ningxia lowered her eyes. Perhaps this was a good thing. In this world, being naive brings much more happiness...

She stood up, brought all the vines at the entrance back into the cave, neatly made a nest, and asked the two to sit down.

Lin Yi sat properly and moved his lips, "Thank you Xia Xia... Sister..."

Ningxia glanced at him without answering. Then she dug into her bag for some multi-grain steamed buns. She'd spent a fortune on supplies, having them made with more refined grains than coarse grains, just so they could provide a quick bite to eat on the road. Ningxia glanced at the two enormous bags, feeling a bit overwhelmed. If she was frugal with the food she'd exchanged, she wouldn't have to scrimp and save all the way to Qianzhou, and she could even make it through the scorching sun.

But now, with two more mouths to feed, it was a blessing to be able to reach Qianzhou without going hungry. It seemed that we had to make some new plans. Ningxia remained expressionless. He handed the steamed buns to each of them, and effortlessly heard the brother and sister swallow their saliva.

Sangsang took it happily and openly.

After Lin Yi took it, he pursed his lips and said solemnly, "Thank you, Sister Xia Xia, I will return it to you later!"

Ningxia took a bite of the steamed bun, not taking it to heart, and said nonchalantly, "If nothing unexpected happens, you will have to follow me all the way. At least two meals a day, and you have to say thank you for each meal? Just be obedient on the way. Now that I have collected the things, I will send you safely to the Blue Bird."
