"I don't want my brother and mother to go hungry."
Lu Qiuling, who hadn't cried even when her heels and soles were rubbed raw, now started crying sadly, as if her buns had been taken away from her.
"Good girl, grandma and the others won't steal our things. Come and eat the buns. Only when you are full can you continue your journey." Zheng Jie stuffed the buns into her mouth.

"Hold him down, hold him down quickly."
The noisy and urgent sounds over there completely woke up Su Sijin's sleepiness.
Su Sijin jumped up, picked up her backpack, and ran towards the source of the sound.
