Chapter 20 Awkward
Just as Shen Qingqian was about to put the pancake into her mouth, the hairs on her body suddenly stood up, making her subconsciously look to the right.
The one called Cheng San was looking at her with a pair of deep eyes, oh no, to be more precise, he was looking at the pancake in her hand.
She felt like she was being caught, and she didn't know whether to eat or put the bread in her hand.
The two of them stared at each other for a moment, but Shen Qingqian couldn't help herself and tentatively handed the bread forward, asking in a low voice, "Do you want to eat?"
Sheng Ze shook his head subconsciously, and asked, "Does the Shen family make dry food separately?"
What Miss Shen Liu was holding in her hand was clearly not the dry food distributed by the escort. It looked like pasta, but he had never seen anything like it before.
Shen Qingqian almost stumbled at his question, but she managed to keep her composure and nodded calmly, "I made this at home and brought some out when I left."
I hope he won't be so nosy and ask other people in the Shen family.
Sheng Ze nodded. No wonder she wanted to hide here and eat alone. It turned out that she was afraid that the bailiff would see her and scold her.
It is natural that exiled prisoners cannot have any good food to eat, and the dry rations are of the worst kind. If anyone brings food with him, he can only eat it if the guards are willing to let him.
Sheng Ze automatically found the most reasonable explanation for Shen Qingqian.
"Hurry up and finish eating and go back. It's not safe at night."
After Sheng Ze gave the reminder, he turned around and walked a few steps to the side, turning his back, but he did not walk away.
Shen Qingqian's mouth twitched slightly. Okay, this Cheng San is quite enthusiastic. He is actually willing to protect her, a stranger.
But her stomach was growling now and the noodles were already in her hand, so it would be a waste not to eat them.
Shen Qingqian took the pancake and started to eat it. She almost cried as soon as she put it in her mouth.
Wow, what kind of magical instant noodles are these? They are so delicious even when eaten dry without any seasoning!
She no longer cared whether anyone was watching her or not, and ate up the 500-gram pancake bite after bite.
Shen Qingqian didn't say hello to Sheng Ze and went back to Shen Qingman after eating.
After she left, Shengze stayed for a while before going back.
Qishan was very peaceful tonight, and Shen Qingqian and the others did not encounter any trouble.
It was not until the sun rose that people began to wake up one after another.
Li Laosan directed people to boil water and distributed morning dry food to everyone.
Shen Qingqian stared at the whole grain pancake in her hand. She had just eaten instant noodles late last night and was not hungry yet. She really couldn't eat any more.
Seeing that Shen Zhe couldn't eat anymore and was grinding the food into his mouth bit by bit, Shen Xiao's son Shen Qin was also making a fuss and didn't want to eat.
Shen Qingqian's eyes turned, and she asked Shen Qin with a smile, "Brother Qin, let Sixth Aunt take you to pick mushrooms over there."
"There really are mushrooms, Aunt Liu, take me there quickly!" Shen Qin's eyes lit up and he clapped his hands.
Shen Qingqian held Shen Qin in one hand and Shen Zhe in the other, "Brother Zhe, come with us too."
In this situation, I can’t let others know about the instant noodles, but it’s okay to fill the stomachs of the two children.
After that, she said to Xiao Lin: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I will definitely let Qin Ge'er finish his food."
The Shen family thought that Shen Qingqian had found a way to make the two children eat the dry food, so no one asked any questions and just told her to be careful.
Still behind the same tree from last night, Shen Qingqian took out the bread like a magic trick, broke it in half, handed it to Shen Zhe and Shen Qin, and said, "Eat it, but don't tell anyone else."
"It smells so good! When did Sixth Aunt hide the delicious food?" Shen Qin was only five years old. He took the pancake, smelled it, and quickly stuffed it into his mouth, asking while eating.
Shen Zhe was not so easily fooled. He stared at the pancake and asked in confusion: "Where did you get this from, sister?"
Shen Qingqian was about to explain, but suddenly the hairs on her back stood up. She immediately turned around and felt embarrassed.
