Hearing Nan Muran's words, Xiao He felt helpless, but still nodded silently: "That's about right.
Come with me, you must not be discovered by those people living on the second floor."
The two agreed without any hesitation: "Okay."
Xiao He was relieved by their tactfulness. She was still worried on the way that the people sent by the military security base were all talented people, and whether they would listen to her advice humbly.
Although Xiaohe is only twelve years old this year, he is innocent at this age, but he has seen the meanness of human nature since the end of the world. Even if he wants to rely on the official base to escape the dungeon, he will never have too much expectation of strangers.
Fortunately, these two seem to be doing well.
Xiaohe led the two of them along the cave wall, hiding in the shadows and moving forward. Fortunately, although there were people on the two stone walls, most of them were inside the house, and they mostly used the dim lights of the early years, so no one discovered the three people.
Until it reached a narrow entrance at the end of the street, Xiao He turned directly in and began to climb up the stone steps.
The stone steps here were low and narrow, and Si Ye and Nan Muran had to lower their heads to keep up. When they walked up about three floors, they saw two dark brown wooden doors, one meter wide on each side.
Xiaohe walked to the wooden door on the right and began knocking rhythmically, and then the door opened from the inside.
A middle-aged woman appeared at the door. After seeing the two people, she looked behind them warily, then stepped aside to let them out. Then she lowered her voice and said to Nan Muran and Si Ye, "Come in quickly."
Nan Muran and Si Ye followed the woman's instructions and quickly followed Xiao He into the house.
Before I could close the door, I heard a male voice coming from the other side: "Xiaohe, are you back?"
"Yes, Brother Tang, you go to sleep. I won't go out today." Xiao He responded quickly.
"Okay." The male voice responded and then fell silent.
Xiao He then closed the door. The room was lit by an old-fashioned light bulb. Because the surroundings were still surrounded by dark stone walls, the whole space became even darker and gloomier.
Xiao He introduced the woman's identity to Nan Muran and Si Ye: "This is my mother."
Nan Muran smiled and nodded at the other party: "Hello, my last name is Nan, and this is my husband's last name is Si."
Even though she was sure that the other party was a secret agent of the official base in Xishi, Nan Muran remained cautious and did not introduce herself and Si Ye in detail.
The woman was not surprised that Nan Muran was reserved towards her, she just smiled and nodded: “My last name is Li, you can just call me Sister Li from now on.
It's already late today, you should go to bed early, I will tell you the situation tomorrow morning."
"Okay." Si Ye agreed with a smile.
He had come into contact with these people who worked as covert agents before, so he was naturally used to their habits. The other party did not contact him immediately, which was indeed a little late, but on the one hand, it was because the other party did not fully trust him and Ranran. It would take time to judge.
Nan Muran frowned slightly, but did not speak. Then he subconsciously wanted to use his mental power to feel the woman and Xiaohe's thoughts, but he did not expect that his life power could accurately sense a mass of black substance in the woman's body.
Is this a tumor? Nan Muran frowned. If this woman's body is not treated in time, I'm afraid she won't be able to hold on for too long.
At this moment, Xiao He, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke up with a firm tone: "You guys should rest outside tonight. My mother is not feeling well and needs a bed in the bedroom."
They are not the kind of people who are pretentious, and the trouble was originally caused to them, mother and daughter. Naturally, Nan Muran and Si Ye would not have any objections, and would not be angry about this.
On the contrary, they both coincidentally liked Xiaohe's personality.
But before they could agree, Xiao He's mother stopped him: "Xiao He, you can't be so rude. Your uncle and aunt are guests."
"But..." Xiao He wanted to say something else, but when he saw that his mother was obviously trying to stop him, he stopped talking in the end.
The woman then looked at the two of them again, with a smile in her eyes: "You guys can stay inside, I have just changed the sheets."
Hearing this, Nan Muran shook her head directly: "No, you are not feeling well and need to rest, we can just stay in the living room."
"Really, there's no need. She's used to her bed and won't be able to sleep." Seeing that the woman was still trying to persuade him, Si Ye quickly refused.
Xiao He looked at the two people's reactions and breathed a sigh of relief. The living room had no windows, no ventilation, and no charcoal basin for heating. Mom would definitely not be able to sleep if she lived there. Fortunately, the two people did not plan to sleep in the bedroom.
Seeing their firm attitude, the woman could only nod and say, "Okay, thank you for your hard work and bear with me for one night."
Only after the woman and Xiao He entered the bedroom did Nan Muran begin to look around the place where the mother and daughter lived.
This should be a natural cave. The living room and bedroom together take up less than 30 square meters, and the entire living room is less than 15 square meters. It is dark, depressing, and very damp and cold.
On one side of the wall is a sofa made of wood and stone, large enough to seat three people at the same time. A thick cushion that has been washed and turned a little white is placed on the wooden board, which has a slight soapy smell. In front of the sofa is a small table, which looks like a coffee table, but also like a dining table.
There were a lot of books placed against the wall on the other side. Nan Muran walked closer and took a closer look. She found that they were junior high school textbooks and some science books. It seemed that they were specially used for Xiaohe.
The remaining two walls, one is the wooden door that we just came in, and the other is the bedroom. The bedroom door is against the wall, and there is a wooden shelf on the empty side with kitchen utensils on it. It should be the kitchen of the mother and daughter.
"Why don't you lean on me and rest for a while?" Si Ye looked at Nan Muran and was a little worried that she must be exhausted after walking all the way here.
Nan Muran thought for a moment and said, "How about we get a camp bed and make do with it for the night?"
Hearing her say this, Si Ye moved the middle table closer to the sofa, and then made room for a camp bed: "You sleep on the bed, and I'll sleep here."
Nan Muran touched the mat on the wooden board and silently took out a super thick sleeping bag for him. The mat on the wooden board looked thick, but it was made of cattail grass and was not warm at all.
Si Ye helped her spread out the camp bed and packed her sleeping bag: "Okay, go to bed early."
Because their sleeping bags had been modified before, they didn't feel cold at all even though there was no heating equipment in the living room.
Soon Nan Muran fell asleep in her warm sleeping bag. She knew the bed was real, but with Si Ye by her side and they were using familiar things, she had no trouble sleeping at all.
At the same time, Xiao Liu and Xiao Bai on her left wrist jumped out, one of them directly guarded the door, and the other one guarded the bedroom door.
Inside the bedroom, the woman sleeping on the bed hugged her daughter, her eyes full of tenderness: "Xiaohe, mom will send them over to gather tomorrow. You just stay at home obediently.
Just run away if...
