Watching Ye Moxun leave in a huff, Song Tantan covered her mouth and chuckled. Now that he's gone, he won't cling to her anymore, right?

However, she clearly underestimated Ye Moxun's resilience. He quickly forgot about it and continued to stick to Song Tantan's side as if nothing had happened.

Shui Sheng and Mu Sheng officially joined their team after Ye Moxun's guidance. After Song Tantan learned their names, she thought of a group name, "Shui Mu Nian Hua," which is similar to "Yi Sheng You Ni" (meaning "You'll Be With Me All My Life").

Then she naturally hummed the lyrics of the song, "...How many people have admired your youthful beauty, but who is willing to endure the ruthless changes of time."

"So many people have come and gone in your life, but know that I will only stay by your side for the rest of my life." Ye Moxun actually knew how to sing this song and even joined in the song relay.

What a long-lost melody! This song is actually one that Song Zhuiyan likes to listen to. At first, she listened to it on a cassette tape and listened to it on repeat. Then one day, Tantan was able to sing the whole song.

"Ye Moxun, why do you sing this song? What era are you from?" Song Tantan suspected that he was not eighteen years old when he died in his previous life, but twenty-eight or thirty-eight.

"What does the type of music you like have to do with your age? It just shows that you have different tastes," Ye Moxun chuckled, then paused before telling the truth, "My dad likes this song, he often plays it at home, so I've gotten used to it."

Unexpectedly, his situation was similar to hers, and Song Tantan couldn't help but chuckle. Then she looked at Song Zhuiyan, who returned a long-lost smile.

"What are you talking about? It sounds like something good has happened. Tell me, so I can have a laugh too." Zhong Qingyi had just returned from gathering firewood when she saw the three of them sitting together, chuckling to themselves.

"Uncle Zhong, I've given the brothers Shuisheng and Musheng a new name, 'Shui Mu Nian Hua'. Isn't it a nice name, and very poetic?" Song Tantan laughed heartily.

However, as a native of the Great Jin Dynasty, Zhong Qingyi completely failed to understand her point, thinking that she was just being mischievous and making a harmless joke, so she laughed along and didn't take it to heart.

However, he was even more amazed by the Song family's good family background. Tan Tan was so young, yet he knew so much. Not only was he good at martial arts, but he also had a composure and calmness beyond his years. He also spoke very eloquently. It was likely that he had been tutored since he was old enough to understand things. The achievements of the naturally intelligent Tan Tan in just a few years were more than what others had accomplished in their years of hard study.

Zhong Qingyi quickly accepted her own imagination because her son, A-Xun, was such a prodigy. He had been taught by a tutor since he was old enough to understand things, and within a few years, his knowledge surpassed that of his tutor.

However, Ah Xun wouldn't let him publicize it. Ah Xun, who was only five years old at the time, said to him, "Uncle, have you ever heard of the saying 'things reach their extreme and then reverse,' or 'the heavens are jealous of talent'? I have been weak and sickly since I was a child, and this is a sign. No one is perfect. My appearance and talent are far superior to others, so I have physical defects. This is because the heavens do not allow perfect people to exist, so I must keep a low profile."

Zhong Qingyi was stunned when he heard this. After thinking for a long time, he finally understood what his nephew meant. A-Xun was an extremely beautiful child, but he was born weak. If his amazing talent were exposed, the heavens would be jealous, and A-Xun might die young. Therefore, he could not let outsiders know about A-Xun's extraordinary talent. He had to protect A-Xun so that he could grow up safely.

It was precisely because he had such an outstanding nephew as Ye Moxun that he had a better impression of Song Tantan, and even often envied her for having such a healthy physique. He wished that one day A-Xun could be as strong as Tantan.

Noticing Zhong Qingyi's eager gaze, Song Tantan looked up suspiciously. Something was wrong; when Uncle Zhong looked at her, he had a maternal smile on his face.

She raised her little hand and touched her chubby face. It was smooth, tender, and bouncy, and felt great. Could it be that Uncle Zhong envied her good skin?

Yes, it seems that's indeed the case.

They had been traveling for half a month, and the journey had been relatively peaceful. No other refugees had come to steal their food or children. However, it would take at least another month to reach the Prince of Duan's territory. Their food was almost gone, and even if they ate sparingly, they could only last for two more days at most. Although the Zhang family still had some surplus food, they couldn't just eat all of the other family's food, as they had three people to feed themselves.

Uncle Zhao woke up the day after he fell into a coma and is now able to walk. However, he is still very weak and his injuries have only recovered by 40%. He needs nutrition, but it is impossible to eat nutritious food on the way to escape. We can only let him eat more rice.

To be honest, Uncle Zhao does have a big appetite; he can eat five large bowls in one meal. However, he also knows that it's unrealistic to eat as much as he wants right now, so he only eats two bowls of rice per meal. Even so, he still consumes a pound of rice a day.

Another day of worrying about how to deliver the grain. Song Tantan scratched her fluffy little head, her big eyes darting around, trying to find a suitable place to throw the grain without anyone noticing.

"Once we find a place to stay later, I'll go out with you to check it out." Ye Moxun pinched the small dimple on her hand to attract her attention.

Song Tantan calmly withdrew her hand. This guy would pinch her little hand every day when she wasn't paying attention. She had gone from resisting at the beginning to being numb to it now. "Just talk, don't pinch my hand. If you touch me again, believe me, I'll smash your dog head in."

Seeing her waving her chubby little fists and threatening people in her sweet, childlike voice, Ye Moxun's peach blossom eyes smiled, and the corners of his lips curled up. She was so cute. He wanted to pinch her, to pinch the ten little dimples on her hands, and to pinch her chubby, pink little face. But he only dared to think about it and didn't dare to actually do it.

Because Tantan's round little fists are very powerful, a single punch could really crack his fragile head. So she can only pinch it quietly when she's in a good mood and feeling sleepy.

"Hey, I think I hear fighting. Can you hear it? It's in that direction." Song Tantan pointed to a fork in the road, stood up from the carriage, and craned her neck to see what was going on ahead.

Ye Moxun said he hadn't heard anything, but Tan Tan's hearing seemed to be particularly sharp. Then he heard the system's voice, "Host, there is a conflict between two groups of people ahead. The scene is extremely chaotic. You'd better not take that side road. It's dangerous."

"Is that all you're capable of? Even Tantan is better than you." Ye Moxun's face was sour; this system was utterly useless.

*Sobbing* The system is crying loudly.

“Song Tantan is a chosen one, there’s no comparison. We’re not on the same wavelength, we can’t interfere with each other.”

"Is it because you're incapable of interfering with her? Is it so hard to admit you're useless?" Ye Moxun sneered.

"If only the host's physique were a little stronger..."

"If I were in better physical condition, I would have found a way to untie you and throw you out to be buried." Ye Moxun chuckled.

"I heard fighting sounds, right ahead," Song Tantang said loudly.

Ye Moxun immediately said to Zhong Qingyi, who was driving the carriage, "Leave here quickly and don't get involved. It's a conflict between two forces, and it's not something we can manage."
