Holding the hot black steamed bun in his palm, Wang Yi felt warm inside.
"I'll eat first, then we'll leave."
"Mom, then eat quickly, we'll wait for you outside."
The third and fourth brothers looked at the black steamed bun in Wang Yi's hand and swallowed their saliva.
They were still hungry. Although the eldest brother gave them two black buns each and asked them to ask their mother for one, they had been hungry for so long that two black buns were not enough to fill them up.
Especially the seventh and sixth brothers, who hadn't eaten yet. Four pairs of eyes were staring at Wang Yi, making Wang Yi feel that the black hard pancake in his hand was even hotter.
Jinbao and Yinbao ran out, and Wang Yi immediately and neatly cut the black hard pancake in his hand into two.
"Liugen, you and Qubing, each take half. Don't tell your brothers. Eat after you've finished."
After saying that, he gritted his teeth and quickly took a few bites of the pancake, put the remaining half into the only clean handkerchief he had, stuffed it into his lapel, and walked out swiftly.
She would rather starve than eat something that hurts her stomach. Anyway, she could buy food in the city.
The seventh and sixth brothers looked at the black steamed buns in their hands, a little overwhelmed.
It was not until Wang Yi walked out of the straw huts at home that she saw a filial piety value pop up on the system.
It belongs to the seventh brother. Even the sixth brother, that stubborn and insidious guy, can't win his filial piety value.
Forget it. I don’t expect to warm up a big block of ice in one day anyway. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future.
"Mom, there is a famine in the town now, it's too chaotic, my eldest brother asked us to go to Qingdong City to exchange things." The fourth child Yinbao put his hands on his chest, where the gold jewelry that Wang Yi had found from the mass grave the night before was wrapped in a tattered purse.
"Qingdong City? How long does it take to walk there?" There was no such thing as Qingdong City in Li Wangshi's memory. She had only heard of the name and had no way of telling how far it was.
I do know that the town is only an hour's drive from here by oxcart, and the child's father goes to Qingdong City to sell prey, so he won't be back until at least nightfall.
The family's ox cart had been sold to support the children after her husband's death and was long gone.
"Leave early, sell it there and come back. We'll be home by daybreak the day after tomorrow." Yin Bao's voice trembled slightly, his legs shaking at the thought of such a long journey. When he got married, his eldest brother had given him some silver and asked them to visit Qingdong City, but they hadn't been back since.
At this time, passing by Wu Laosan's tent, Yinbao glared at Wu Laosan with angry eyes, like a wild beast whose fur would stand on end at any time, full of vigilance, as if someone knew that he had gold jewelry hidden in his arms.
So far? Wang Yi was terrified. Although she had the habit of treadmill exercise for an hour every day, it was a treadmill. Listening to music and watching movies were her few moments of relaxation.
A whole day and night of walking on two legs? That's too far! Especially with my malnourished body.
For a moment, Wang Yi regretted going and even wanted to back off.
But when she thought about not going to the city, she wouldn't be able to secretly buy some supplies and hide them in the space. Even if she converted her filial piety points into cash, she wouldn't be able to buy anything, which made her even more anxious.
Only 25 points of filial piety can be converted into 25 taels of silver. If you go to the city and don't come back, it doesn't seem to take long. It's really too little.
If she ran away from home, without these children, her system would become useless and she would never be able to get filial piety points again. It made her depressed no matter how she thought about it.
When he lowered his head, he saw Yinbao rubbing his chest vigorously, his fingers turning white, for fear that others would not notice that there was something wrong with him.
"Don't be so nervous, Yinbao. Anyone can tell something's wrong with you."
Wang Yi looked at the two children with a bit of amusement and tears in her eyes. They were sneaking around furtively and stared at everyone they saw.
Anyone with two eyes knows that they are very strange!
"Mom, my eldest brother said that this set of jewelry is worth at least ten taels of gold, which can be exchanged for more than one hundred taels of silver! Why do I feel like it's too hot to wear on my body?"
Yinbao's throat was almost trembling, he was nervous.
This is gold jewelry, an important material that keeps the family fed. My eldest brother said that if he loses it, he won't be able to get it back.
"Forget it, give it to me."
The third brother, Jinbao, pretended to be calm, snatched the purse and put it in his arms. As soon as he put it in his lapel, his legs went weak and he almost fell down.
"What a loser."
Wang Yi rolled his eyes, snatched the purse back unhappily, stuffed it into his lapel, and actually put it in the space.
How great is this! Even if I lose something, I will never lose this gold jewelry!
Jinbao and Yinbao opened their mouths to say something, but finally shut up dejectedly.
Before leaving the village, my second brother had warned me to keep an eye on my mother and not give her any gold or silver. But before I even left the village, the gold and jewelry were already in my mother's pocket.
But when I think about it, it was my mother who brought back these gold jewelry, and didn’t she give them to my eldest brother?
As for the funerary objects, they no longer thought about them. They were almost starving and could only eat their own children, so why would they care about the dead?
The twins looked at each other, understood each other's feelings, and accepted their fate.
What can they do? How can they get it back? It’s too hot to handle! They don’t dare to take it.
The responsibility is too great and they dare not take it.
Even though the two seventeen-year-old boys were married, they still sighed resignedly to their fate.
Wang Yi wanted to laugh when he looked at them. He reached out and rubbed the two identical heads, then walked away carelessly.
The two were stunned by their mother's head pat.
Mom, did you touch our heads?
As soon as he walked out of the village of Yeqingpo, a long list of things suddenly popped up on Wang Yi's system.
"Quest Trigger: Exploring the third clump of reeds in the Man-Eating Swamp three miles away. Rewards: 6 wild duck eggs, 10 kilograms of lotus roots, Constitution +1, 10 ordinary quick-growing fertilizers (for gray-quality plants to mature instantly), 10 sugarcane seedlings."
