On the baking layer, we put it there to bake, just like we did in the past few days. After it was fragrant, we took it out, put it on a silver plate, and then served it. When I went out, there was no trace of Song Yingchun. Although I was worried, I thought that girl was much smarter than I thought, otherwise she wouldn't have fooled the three of us for so long. I guess she would be fine.

So I went upstairs and came to the next room. I could vaguely hear crying outside the door. After entering, I found Bailu hugging Yunwen and sobbing. Yunwen was patting her back, looking like she felt the same way. She hugged her and her eyes were wet. When she saw me come in, she looked at me with a pout, looking sad.

"Let's eat something first. Food can make you feel a little better," I said.

We roasted five in total, but Bailu had a small appetite and only ate half of one. I had a big appetite so I ate two. Yunwen ate one and a half, so there was only one left. Bailu said, "Why don't we give it to Yingchun? Don't let her go hungry."

Yunwen and I looked at each other. Although she was to blame, she was still my biological sister.

We have picked about seventy-four potatoes. We have eaten about four every day in the past three days. Including the five today, there are only fifty-seven potatoes in the basket. Including the six that have to be used for seedling cultivation, there are only fifty-one potatoes that can be eaten in the future. With more people, the daily consumption will also be greater. These fifty or so can probably only last for ten days at most. It is just the beginning of the year now, and winter wheat is generally harvested in the summer, so that day is still a long way off.

We can only live frugally.

I was just going downstairs when I saw Yingchun coming back from outside and said, "My sister isn't going to chase me away, is she? She wouldn't be so cruel."

I sighed and said, "Yes, not only did your sister not chase you away, she even asked me to give you a potato. You can take it and eat it. I don't understand why you could do such a thing to me when your sister was so kind to you. And you told me that it was all for your stupid plan. Do you really have any humanity?"

Her face became worse and worse, and she shouted at me, "This is a matter between me and my sister, why are you butting in? Did I prick you? Why are you meddling in other people's business? You are always making faces at me for no reason, and my sister didn't say anything. She even wanted to give me potatoes to eat, so what are you talking about? Besides, if I pricked you, I pricked you. Otherwise, she would prick me back. Why do you keep saying such nasty things?"

When I heard her screaming, I rushed down the stairs, covered her mouth tightly, and pulled her out of the door with all my strength. The wooden man wanted to come over when I saw this, but I pushed Yingchun away and pinned it to the ground with one grappling move. Its movements were much slower now, and it was no match for me at all. It was even more vulnerable in close combat. I knelt down on it, and it could only flutter its hands and feet. It was just a pile of wooden parts, and its soul was useless.

"If you want to argue, go outside. Do you know that your sister needs to rest now? Until she figures it out, just stay outside." I said.

Then I pushed her out of the door, and the wooden man was pushed out as well. I locked the door on the first floor of the castle. Her only way was to come up from the outside stairs, but with me guarding her, she probably had no other tricks.

"Hey! What are you doing? Are you really going to lock me out? It's very cold, how can you be so cruel!" Yingchun shouted.

"Let me tell you, Song Yingchun, the reason I kept you in this team was entirely for your sister's sake. She practices medicine and saves lives, and has put a lot of effort into it. She has made a great contribution to us in the team. I kept you, a lazy, trouble-making troublemaker, for her sake. If it weren't for your sister, I would have driven you away long ago. Who do you think you are? From now on, stay outside. If you dare to make any more noise, I will dismantle your wooden man and drive you out of the city gate." I said.

After he said this, the outside immediately became much quieter. I didn't care about it anymore. It would be a waste to leave the potatoes to her, so I kept them for myself for the time being.

Today, except for taking Sanfu outside to eat some grass, I basically stayed on the second floor of the house, helping to guide Bailu and busying myself with boiling medicine for her, fearing that something might go wrong with her. Since I stayed like this, I didn't pay much attention to Song Yingchun's movements. I just knew that girl would never let me down.

By the evening, Song Bailu had vented enough, and she was also tired, so she fell asleep after Yunwen's persuasion. It seemed that her condition had eased a little, and we finally felt relieved. At this moment, I heard a knock on the door, and I knew it was Song Yingchun.

I asked Yunwen to look after Bailu while I carried Jinque and walked back and forth, knocking on the door between the platform and the corridor. After I walked out of the room and went to the corridor to open the door, I saw that her face was red and her lips were white due to the cold.

"Brother Zhou Bo, please at least give me something to block the wind, otherwise I will really freeze to death. Don't be so cruel." Song Yingchun said.

"So what if I die? This is a deserted island. There's no need to leave behind a burden or trouble. If you die, it will be easier for the three of us. You can do whatever you want. Also, I warn you, if you dare to mess around, I will not be polite." I said.

After saying that, I was about to close the door, but she quickly pushed me back and said with tears in her eyes, "How could I make you hate me? It's fine if my sister is angry with me, but you are doing this to me too!"

"It's because your sister is angry that you can't please us. Go out. There is a guard room on the other side of the city gate. You won't freeze to death." I said, and then slammed the door shut.

Turning around, she saw Yunwen. She sighed, with a look of reluctance in her eyes, but she also knew that only in this way could Song Bailu's mental health be guaranteed as much as possible, allowing her to fully rest and not be dragged into Yingchun's troubles, ensuring that she could survive this dangerous period.

There were also cashmere quilts here, so I took them to the city wall on the third floor to dry. As for the quilt covers, pillowcases and the like, Yunwen washed them in the sink on the first floor. There were also some soapberries in the pile of herbs in the backpack, which could be used for the time being. I used up almost a tank of water to wash all those things to remove the odor and make them a little cleaner. Then I lit the fire in the fireplace, moved the table over, and put the items on it to dry.

After that, Yingchun and her wooden man never came again. I specifically saw a fire near the city gate, which meant she was already there, so I didn't pay much attention to it. This is the best arrangement now.

Bailu woke up twice at night, drank a few sips of water and went back to sleep. Yunwen and I took turns sleeping and taking care of her until daytime.

In the morning, Song Yingchun came again, but Song Bailu was awake and taking medicine. I hurried out and asked Yunwen to look after Bailu. After I went out, I saw Song Yingchun holding something in her hand, which was a big fish. She said, "Don't close the door yet. I won't go in. One thing for another. I'll give you something in exchange for this fish. Is that okay? Besides, my sister always eats potatoes, which is not good, right?"

"Change what?" I asked.

"A quilt and five potatoes," she said.

"Two," I said.

She bit her lip and stamped her feet in anger: "Are you a man? You are so stingy and you still argue with me! You..."

I raised my hand immediately, and she shut her mouth in fear. I said, "Listen carefully, you are the one begging me, not me. If you keep yelling, take your fish and get out of here."

"Okay, okay, two is two, go and get them." Song Yingchun could only show weakness to me.

So I went to get two potatoes, and went to another room to find a quilt and handed it to her. She hung it on the wooden man's back and let the wooden man hold the potatoes. I asked the ugly wooden man, "There is a fishy smell on the hands and a smell of water on the body. I guess it was caught by it. It really makes full use of everything."

She took the things and left trembling, and I also received the fish. I asked Yunwen to cook something delicious, while I watched Bailu and was on guard against Yingchun's return.

Actually, the ruins were piled there. Because I had used the Golden Que Sword at that time and was tired, I didn't look for it properly. Now I should think of a way to go back and look for it again, and get all the original things back. Besides, I can't give up the wheat field after all. Thinking of this, I made up my mind.
