Although Shu Miao was also frightened, fortunately Zi Li was there to act as a shield. She reacted quickly and supported the figure that was falling towards her.

Just at the moment she held it, she felt the weight in her hand suddenly lighten.

Before he could come to his senses, he saw Zili being picked up like a chick.

At first glance, Zili looked like a chicken with its neck stuck, with all sounds stuck in its throat.

Seeing this, Shu Miao's heart was alarmed. Without caring about anything else, he stepped forward and tried to pull Zi Li's backpack to pull the person down.

Lin Yan was not paying attention for a moment, and his hand was actually pushed down by this force.

When his feet landed on the ground again, Shu Zili finally recovered from the shock he had just experienced. He struggled to break free from the other party's restraints, howling in horror.

"Oh my god! Pai Hanako! Hurry up!"

Before he could finish his howl, Shu Miao covered his mouth with his hand.

"It's Lin Zhiqing." She explained quickly while straightening his head so that he could look at Lin Zhiqing's face.

After hearing this, Zili refocused his gaze on the person's face.

After taking a closer look, he breathed a sigh of relief, then asked with a sad face, trembling, "Lin, Lin Zhiqing, what are you doing?"

Lin Yan was stunned by the deafening howl, and it took him a while to react to what the child said.

Thinking about my sudden action just now, and knowing that I had scared people, I felt guilty and didn't know what to say for a moment.

So he quietly distanced himself from the two of them, his slightly wandering gaze landing on the girl who had remained remarkably calm throughout. "I heard you were looking for me?"

Being ignored, Zili suddenly felt unhappy. He stepped forward and blocked the man behind him, glaring at him angrily.

"You're an intellectual, aren't you? How come you didn't even apologize for scaring me?"

Lin Yan now realized that he might have misunderstood what the two little guys meant, so he no longer wanted to waste time.

He glanced at the indignant boy in front of him, and said calmly,

"Sorry!" He turned and left.

Shu Miao pondered for a moment and realized the other party's purpose for coming over. Seeing that he was about to leave, he opened his mouth to call him, but was worried that Zi Li would become suspicious.

Just when she was feeling conflicted, she suddenly realized that her palms were a little wet, and an idea suddenly came to her mind.

He immediately put his hand in front of Zili's eyes, his face full of anxiety: "Zili, look quickly, is the tofu spilled?"

Zili, who was originally full of indignation, felt his heart tighten when he heard this. He pointed at Lin Zhiqing's back and shouted loudly,

"Quick, stop the man——"

If the tofu is inedible, he must compensate!

Shu Miao nodded solemnly and ran after the man.

Lin Yan naturally heard Shu Zili's high-pitched voice.

He believed that he was not the kind of person who would dare to do something but not take responsibility for it. Although he didn't know why, he still stopped and turned back.

Seeing the girl catching up with him, his eyebrows raised slightly.

"Lin Zhiqing, wait a moment..." Before Shu Miao could finish her words, she heard Zili's anxious voice.

"Come back quickly, it's okay!"

Shu Miao turned around and waved at him, indicating that he understood.

Lin Yan watched the interaction between the two and couldn't help but think of his equally noisy little sister, and unconsciously curled the corners of his mouth.

He just crossed his arms and glanced at the girl who obviously had something to say to him.

Shu Miao didn't waste any time and went straight to the point, "I have pheasant eggs, do you want some?"

Upon hearing that there really were eggs, Lin Yan changed his previous lazy look, suddenly stood up straight, and his eyes were faintly shining.

"I'll take them all, no matter how many there are!"

Shu Miao was stunned by his domineering tone and subconsciously asked back, "Do you think I look like someone who has no shortage of eggs?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yan noticed that apart from the girl's washed-out coarse cloth clothes, her dark and thin face and slender body looked like they could be blown down by a gust of wind.

This extremely malnourished look is indeed completely inconsistent with someone who has no shortage of eggs to eat.

But at the same time, he did not forget that the girl had just said "pheasant eggs".

So he quickly suppressed his outward emotions, glanced at her calmly, and repeated the same sentence, "I want as much as you can get."

Shu Miao just said that just now. After he realized it, he didn't say anything else. After all, the two of them were not familiar with each other.

"There are only three. Do you want any?"

"Three?" Lin Yan frowned, but then he thought that he hadn't eaten eggs for several days. Three is three, at least it can satisfy his craving.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of the rules that the captain had specially made under the banner of doing good for him -

Not allowing any member to "exchange" with him made him even more depressed.

He knew that the old man sent him here and didn't want him to have an easy life!

Isn’t it just buying some more eggs and eating a few more meals of meat?

The members are happy, and he is happy too. It is abominable that such a good thing of mutual benefit is being blown out of proportion!

Otherwise, why would he care about the little kid's little thing?

When he first thought of exchanging with the child, he felt it was too embarrassing and didn't dare to do it.

After eating without any oil or water for a month, he no longer cared about his image.

After doing it many times, you will naturally get used to it.

But when he thought about that damn rule again, he didn't dare to despise the only three pheasant eggs anymore.

He immediately took out the money from his pocket, fearing that if he was a step late, the girl would change her mind and not sell it to him.

When he lowered his eyes in deep thought, Shu Miao had no intention of urging him and just waited silently.

Unexpectedly, the other party started to search his pockets as soon as he disagreed with me, and I was stunned for a moment.

After realizing what the other party was about to do, she quickly interrupted him and said, "I'm not exchanging money, I'm only exchanging salt."

Lin Yan paused in taking out the money and looked at the girl in surprise. This was the first time he had encountered such a strange request.

You don’t need a ticket to buy salt, nor do you have to go to the supply and marketing cooperative in the commune to buy it. Why is that?

Thinking this way, he asked.

Shu Miao stared at him, still unmoved.

The person in charge of the agency store is a member of Yueerwan. Who knows if another person who is familiar with the aunt will show up? How should she explain it then?

In addition, she had to be on guard against the children who were everywhere. Don't underestimate children's curiosity and attentiveness. If she wasn't careful, the news that she took the money to buy salt from the agency might reach Zili's ears, which would only cause more trouble.

Of course, although her transaction with Lin Zhiqing also has the risk of being discovered, the other party also needs to consider this issue. As long as the subsequent multiple processes can be reduced on the other party, her risk of exposure will naturally be reduced.

I just don't know if the other party is willing to go through so much trouble.

Although Lin Yan didn't know why the other party's request was so strange, he really found it troublesome. After thinking for a while, he spoke again.

"Aside from eggs, is there anything else?"
