The older boy, who was about to pull his brother away, stopped in his tracks. He stared at Nan Muran with his dark eyes and said with certainty, "The patrol team in the inner city is trying to catch you?"
"Yes." Nan Muran nodded without hesitation.
The older boy was obviously a little surprised by her frankness, and frowned slightly: "So, you should run quickly instead of entering the inner city at this time."
"We have friends in the inner city, so we have to go." Si Ye, who had been watching the two boys, explained to him.
The older boy looked at them and hesitated for a while: "I want five packs... No, I want three packs of instant noodles." Seeing Nan Muran's puzzled eyes, the older boy silently retracted two of the five fingers he had stretched out.
"I'll give you five packs of instant noodles as a reward." Nan Muran looked at him and smiled.
The eyes of the older boy and his younger brother lit up at the same time. Five packs of instant noodles were enough for them to eat with grass roots for half a month. This thought softened Nan Muran, who had been feeling their thoughts.
"Okay, I'll take you there, but my brother is hungry now. We have to eat first so that we have the strength to take you so far." The older boy looked at Nan Muran with a firm tone.
Nan Muran knew that he didn't trust her and wanted her to pay directly.
After thinking about it, Nan Muran took out two large meat buns from the space and handed them to the big boy: "This is more convenient, you can eat while leading the way."
The boy was stunned for a moment when he saw the bun in Nan Muran's hand. He often went into the inner city to look for food. There were many delicious foods in the most prosperous hotel in the underground city, and buns were occasionally available, but he and his brother had never had a whole bun. This was the first time.
Nan Muran sighed slightly: "As long as you lead the way well, the buns will be full."
The older boy and his younger brother looked at Nan Muran and nodded, then each took a big bun and started eating it. The bun was not small, but the two of them still finished it in just a few bites.
Nan Muran took out two more and gave them to them: "Don't worry, I have plenty of buns, you can eat slowly, be careful not to get upset in your stomach if you are too impatient."
The boy who took the bun did not eat it immediately but was silent for a while before he said thank you a little embarrassedly: "Thank you, Auntie."
"Don't be so polite. Just lead the way for us. I'll give you food to fill your stomach. It's my duty." Nan Muran didn't care. After all, the two of them helped her solve a big problem.
Just when Si Ye and Nan Muran caught up with the two brothers, Xiao Liu and Xiao Bai came back. Not only was there an ambush of psychics in the gap above the passage, but their psychic levels were also not low.
Nan Muran and Si Ye followed the two boys for a long time, and they even went out of the mountain once in the middle.
After entering the mountain again and walking down for a while, Nan Muran suddenly realized that they were walking on a dry underground riverbed. However, this road not only went deep underground, but also almost went around the outside of the mountain, so the distance was much farther than that of the underground city.
"What are your two names?" Nan Muran spoke as she looked at the two figures in front of her because she was really bored of walking.
Perhaps because the two brothers ate the buns she gave them, they were grateful and obviously less wary.
"My name is Chen Xiaoyang, my brother's name is Chen Xiaoyu, and his nickname is Baozi." The older boy walking in front said directly.
Nan Muran smiled and nodded: "Do you know how far it is from the Lin family's Chinese medicine shop in the inner city after exiting this secret passage?"
Since the Lin family's traditional Chinese medicine shop has been exposed to the outside world, there is no need to keep it secret anymore. This is a good opportunity to ask about the situation.
"The Lin family's traditional Chinese medicine shop is in the southwest corner of the inner city. We went out and it was right near the Fuli Hotel, which is quite some distance away." Chen Xiaoyang has a good memory, so he can remember any place in the inner city clearly.
Nan Muran saw that they didn't ask for more food after finishing the second bun, so she gave each of them another bun and a bottle of water: "You're welcome. You have to eat your fill after walking such a long way."
Chen Xiaoyang looked at the buns in his hand, silently took out his messenger bag, carefully wrapped the buns in a plastic bag and put them away: "I'm full."
Nan Muran looked at his actions and said nothing. On the other side, Chen Xiaoyu, who was planning to continue eating the third bun, also obediently handed his bun to Chen Xiaoyang: "Brother, hide it and eat it next time."
Two big meat buns were already a very filling and satisfying meal for them.
"Baozi wants to grow taller, so eat another one. It's okay." Chen Xiaoyang looked at his sensible brother and said gently.
"I don't want to eat anymore." Chen Xiaoyu's young face showed persistence.
Chen Xiaoyang couldn't persuade him and could only take the buns from his hand.
Nan Muran and Si Ye felt a little sad when they saw their actions, but they didn't say much. After all, they could only help them for a while, and they would have to rely on themselves in the future.
After the four of them had walked for about an hour and a half, Nan Muran suddenly sensed the aura from the left side of the stone wall. Outside, there was a lot of noise and traffic, and it seemed very prosperous.
But to her surprise, there were rickshaws, horses and trams in the underground city. It really felt like returning to the Republic of China. She glanced at her watch in surprise. It was now 12:30 in the evening. The inner city of this underground city really had some shadows of the pre-apocalyptic era.
Chen Xiaoyang and Chen Xiaoyu stopped at the entrance of a narrow passage: "From here forward, we can see the well in the underground city."
"The exit is in the well?" Nan Muran looked at the two brothers in surprise.
"Well, the exit is not far from the well. And because the well is small and the water is turbid, few people in the underground city come here to fetch water.
We have made some concealment at the exit, so we won't be discovered." Chen Xiaoyang nodded.
Nan Muran could naturally feel the situation at the wellhead clearly, and couldn't help but feel fortunate that there were enough people in the inner city at this time, making it convenient for her and Si Ye to walk.
"Thank you, this is the reward we agreed on before." Nan Muran looked at the two brothers and took out a whole pack of Mouhuang's tomato beef noodles and handed it to them.
Chen Xiaoyang looked at the whole bag of noodles in surprise, his heart pounding: "Thank you, auntie, thank you, uncle."
"Go back and be careful." Because the situation outside was too complicated, Nan Muran said to the two brothers.
"Okay, let's go back now." Chen Xiaoyang pulled Chen Xiaoyu and prepared to go back.
Suddenly Si Ye said, "Xiaoyang, when you take Xiaoyu back, don't live near the garbage dump. Find a place where no one knows you."
Chen Xiaoyang didn't understand what Si Ye said, but Nan Muran did. It seemed that Lin Wei would dig the entire underground city to the depths in order to find them.
