"What happened?"
Hong Jiu arrived at this time. He heard the screams and ran quickly, drawing his long sword to block everyone.
"Little brother, you came at the right time. There is someone over there!"
Wang Yi was a little scared. It was already very unsafe in the wilderness, and who would have thought that someone would jump out from the low wall behind him.
"Don't be afraid, mother. We will protect you."
Yinbao stood beside Wang Yi, and the others walked towards the low wall and slowly gathered together.
With so many sons here, how could someone still come to steal things?
Roasted sweet potatoes were not valuable items in Wang Yi's mind, but it scared her so much, which was too much.
If the people behind the low wall were really hungry and were willing to ask for food, Wang Yi would not refuse to give them food. They were all refugees, and since she had plenty of food, she would not be stingy with even a little bit of it.
It's totally unreasonable to rob openly!
"come out!"
Li Shenggen ran over with a torch. The man was hiding in the corner of the broken wall and was already slurping his roasted sweet potatoes. In the blink of an eye, he had devoured the hot roasted sweet potatoes without even leaving the skin.
"I'm sorry, I was so hungry that I couldn't help but snatch your food. I, I'm hungry..."
When the person in the corner spoke, Wang Yi was stunned.
"Female?"
The voice was a little rough and thick, and the figure was quite strong. Wang Yi didn't expect that it was a woman.
“…”
Hong Jiu and Wang Yi's sons also relaxed a little, but they didn't put down their sticks and walked over to protect Wang Yi.
"You, look up. Don't be afraid, relax, I still have plenty to eat."
Because the figure was dressed in rags, dark and strong, no one noticed that it was a woman.
She is taller than Wang Yi's sons, probably at least 1.9 meters tall.
Although he is very skinny now, he looks stronger than an average person when he curls up.
Standing up from the corner, Wang Yi and others looked up at her. In this era, she could still grow to 1.9 meters. If she lived in modern times with adequate nutrition, wouldn't she be at least 2 meters tall?
"What's your name?" Wang Yi gestured for her to squat down and talk.
I am only 1.6 meters tall and can’t reach it.
Silly Sister half-knelt down, feeling aggrieved, and smacked her lips. She ate a roasted sweet potato like a candy bean, and it was gone without a trace. The sweet aroma of the roasted sweet potato still lingered in her mouth, but she couldn't eat it anymore, which was unpleasant.
"Everyone calls me Silly Sister. I don't have a name."
"Where are you from?"
"I don't know. My family all fled the famine. When I woke up one day, no one was waiting for me. They had all left."
...abandoned.
With such a tall stature, it looks like she eats a lot. Besides, even if she were a girl, she wouldn't fetch a good price because she's tall, strong, and doesn't look very smart.
Rich families would never buy a maid like this.
She couldn't help but think of Lan Miao's mother who was half dead. She would trade her life for hers to kill her bastard father, the obstacle to Lan Miao's future.
Wang Yi couldn't bear to watch. Why is it so difficult for women to survive in this world?
"You can stay next to our camp for now. When there's work to do, you can help me and I'll provide you with food."
Silly Sister was filled with joy: "Really, can you really provide me with food? I have a big appetite..."
"If you're willing to work, having enough food won't be a problem. Don't worry."
"Okay, okay! I'm willing to work! I'm very strong, even stronger than my father!" Silly Sister's eyes sparkled. Before her family abandoned her, she did all the work and carried all the luggage on her back.
But as her luggage became lighter and she ate more and more, people stopped liking her.
Even her own parents don't want her and think she is a disgrace.
Unexpectedly, the lady in front of her was willing to accept her.
Good person!
Wang Yi filled a large bowl of the remaining sweet potato rice in the pot and handed it to Silly Sister. Seeing her slurping the rice, he felt a little distressed.
Who says a woman is valuable only when she gets married, has a career and has children?
Silly Sister looks quite strong, but she is not so stupid that she cannot take care of herself. If she can do physical work as well as an adult man, she can get paid and have food to eat.
This era cannot accommodate her.
Hong Jiu didn't leave, his face was a little red, but he didn't say anything.
Gurgle.
His stomach growled.
Wang Yi finally understood, and with a smile on his face, he took out the last roasted sweet potato from the bottom of the pot, dusted it off, and handed it to Hong Jiu.
"Eat it while it's hot, little brother. It's delicious."
Hong Jiu finally smelled the scent he had been longing for in the camp, but he had never seen it before.
So he asked, “What is this?”
Just eat. Why so much talk?
Wang Yi deliberately ignored the question. Hong Jiu was the prince's personal guard, so if she said she took it from the prince, he would definitely know. So she avoided the subject and simply said, "You can eat it just by peeling it. If you're not hungry, leave it for me... Fine, you can eat it."
Sure enough, as soon as I told her to give it to Silly Sister, Hong Jiu immediately peeled the skin and started eating it regardless of the heat.
These seventeen or eighteen-year-old kids are quite easy to fool.
The first night in Xinyingzhuang finally arrived.
Wang Yi tossed and turned in the tent, unable to fall asleep, while Silly Sister outside the tent had already started snoring.
She could hear Silly Sister's breathing through the tent. How could this girl fall asleep so peacefully?
Aren’t you afraid of being bitten by insects and blown by the wind outside?
"Forget it, I won't sleep anymore."
Wang Yi began to plant crops in the fields in the space, planting and harvesting one crop after another, until he fell asleep at some point.
When I opened my eyes again, it was already bright outside.
"Sign in."
"Signed in for 3 consecutive days. Congratulations! You have obtained one of the professional skills of Traditional Chinese Medicine, 'Ask'."
No need to ask, tomorrow will definitely be "cut".
This sign-in reward doesn't give any surprises at all.
However, Wang Yi did not despise it. She had no medical skills at all, but now she could diagnose simple diseases through the first three items, and she was very satisfied.
Walking out of the tent, Wang Yi found that piles of clean bricks and tiles had been piled up in the open space not far from the camp.
Several sons were searching the ground for neatly arranged bricks and stones, and even the village chief's family was looking for them too.
Everyone agreed that a house should be built for Wang Yi's family first. Of course, speed and convenience were the top priorities, so the materials had to be arranged on site.
Smoke was already rising from the military camp opposite. Even though there were only a hundred soldiers there, they were still training seriously.
Suddenly, a figure came into view.
I saw her carrying a load on her shoulders. The bamboo baskets on both sides of the load were pressed down very low. They were filled with stones more than one person tall. She just lifted the load lightly and then quickly poured the stones together.
Silly sister?
This effort is really not in vain!
Wang Yi watched with wide eyes. After she had poured out all the stones, she quickly loaded the second load and moved them again without any laziness.
Why do you feel like you've found a treasure?
"Mom, you're awake. Wash your face and have dinner. I left some soup and noodles for you."
When Wang Juanhua saw Wang Yi, she hurriedly called her in front of the tent where the pot was set up.
Wang Yi walked over. She had already neatly sprinkled the soup noodles into the boiling water and stirred them with chopsticks. They were soon cooked.
