The two children looked to be around eight or nine years old. Lin Zao suppressed the bitterness in her heart and said, "I'll prepare some food for the two children first."
Tang Jian nodded, "Thank you for your hard work, my wife."
It was indeed important to feed them first; he was worried that either of the two children would starve to death.
Lin Zao didn't do anything complicated. Using the fire she had just started, she prepared to cook a pot of porridge for the two children. They probably couldn't eat oily food right now and needed to eat something light to soothe their stomachs.
The aroma of the congee finally caught the attention of the two children, and they did make a little movement, but they only glanced at the pot and did not react any further.
Tang Jian sighed. It seemed that the two children were deeply hurt, and he wondered if they could ever regain their hope for humanity.
Once the porridge was cooked, Lin Zao ladled out two large bowls, carefully stirred them for a while, and placed them on the table that had been set up to the side when they became warm.
Lin Zao took out two spoons and put them in a bowl. "Let them come and eat."
Tian Bu'er quickly led them to the table, and Lin Zao placed the bowls in front of them.
"Sweethearts, these are all for you, eat up."
The two children stared blankly at the bowl, but didn't move.
Lin Zao sighed, then simply picked up the bowl and used a spoon to feed the boy next to her a bite.
This time, the child didn't refuse and obediently opened his mouth and swallowed.
As if sensing the taste of the porridge, his eyes finally lit up, and he stared at the bowl in front of him like a hungry wolf.
Seeing this, Lin Zao said gently, "If you want to eat them, these are all yours."
With a 'whoosh,' the bowl was snatched from Lin Zao's hand, and he wolfed it down, pouring it directly into his mouth.
"Eat slowly, there's more in the pot."
Seeing this, Tian Bu'er, who was standing nearby, also picked up a bowl and fed another child.
Fortunately, the child was the same; he must have been hungry for a long time, because he instinctively put the food in the bowl into his mouth.
Seeing that both children were eating on their own, Lin Zao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing that they had finished the porridge in their bowls and were even licking the bottom of the bowls, Lin Zao stood up and brought the porridge from the pot over.
"There's still some in the pot. Bring your bowls over, and I'll serve you some."
Perhaps it was this bowl of porridge that awakened their hunger, for this time they handed over the bowl with both hands without hesitation.
His eyes were fixed on the porridge in the pot.
Without hesitation, Lin Zao refilled their bowls.
The two children quickly poured the food into their mouths, not caring whether it was hot or not.
One person ate three large bowls, and the porridge in the pot was all gone.
The two kept staring at the pot, clearly wanting more food.
"You can't eat too much, or your stomachs will feel uncomfortable. How about we eat tomorrow?"
Lin Zao gently comforted them.
As if realizing there was no food left, the two children returned to their listless state.
Tang Jian frowned as he watched. Judging from the condition of the two children, they wouldn't recover anytime soon. They had to rush to Yaozhou. Should they take them with them?
His original plan was to have his guards take the two children to Ganzhou and find a family to adopt them, but if they continued in this situation, probably no one would be willing to adopt them.
Having not yet come up with a good solution, Tang Jian could only take the two children with him for the time being.
Lin Zao shared the same sentiment. They were hesitant to give the two children away, fearing that if they were to suffer another injury, their lives would be ruined.
