Lin Jiuyue followed in the middle of the team, but his consciousness was in space. He looked like a walking corpse.
Lin Qiye, who was standing beside him, supported Lin Jiuyue, and the other refugees didn't notice anything wrong. After all, there were many people like Lin Jiuyue who walked with expressionless faces in the group fleeing famine. Everyone was used to it.
Only Lin Qiye knew that his sister's consciousness was in the space again, and she might be communicating with Bubble.
When the fleeing team arrived at the border of Jingyang County, it was already dark.
The city gates were closed at this time, and the village chief asked the villagers to rest in the woods three miles outside the city, waiting to start their journey again at dawn the next day.
"Sister, how is it going? How much food did you harvest?"
Lin Qiye leaned close to Lin Jiuyue's ear, looked around vigilantly, and asked quietly.
"We've harvested a crop, not much, but we can harvest again tomorrow morning. Bubble said we don't have to worry about the shelling; it can shed its shell with its mind."
The space can harvest food twice a day, but the area is small. Apart from the stream and other things, there is only about 50 square meters of area for growing food. Even if you can harvest food twice a day, you won't get much.
But it’s enough for me and my brother to eat.
"That's great! I can finally eat white rice!"
Lin Qiye was so excited that tears were about to come out.
"Don't be too happy too soon. Although Bubble can husk rice with his mind, it's useless without a pot."
Lin Qiye: ...
No pot!
Everything is ready, only the east wind is missing! At the critical moment, this "east wind" is not there! We can only watch helplessly.
Lin Qiye's face instantly fell.
"Why is it so difficult for me? I just want to have a full meal. How come I don't even have a pot?"
Lin Jiuyue was also helpless.
The pot is very precious, and Lin Dongming's family would never give it to him.
When we eat yams before, we always roast them directly on the fire. But rice can’t be roasted directly like yams…
"Don't worry, let's go see if there are any bamboos nearby. If there are, we can cook them in bamboo tubes."
Lin Qiye looked up and looked around.
It was pitch black. If it weren't for the occasional fire burning nearby to cook, I wouldn't have been able to see my sister sitting in front of me.
"Sister, I'll go. It's so dark, you just wait for me here."
Lin Jiuyue rubbed Lin Qiye’s messy hair.
"We don't have anything to guard, let's go together."
Although Jingyang County also suffered from drought, it was much better than Qing'an County. At least it was not to the point of complete crop failure.
As the night deepened, a faint ray of moonlight appeared in the sky. It was not particularly bright, but it was much better than the pitch darkness before.
Seeing that no one around noticed them, the brother and sister quietly got up and walked deeper into the woods.
When they arrived at Jingyang County, it was already dark, and Lin Jiuyue didn't really notice any bamboo nearby.
"Sister, are we just going to search aimlessly like this?"
"You think I want to? Isn't this the only solution?"
The two men advanced in the dark, talking in low voices.
"Bang!"
The sound of something heavy hitting the ground reached their ears, and they stopped immediately.
"What, what's that sound? Could it be a ghost?"
Lin Qiye swallowed.
I didn’t believe in such ghost and god stories before, but since traveling here, Lin Qiye has become more respectful of these things.
Lin Jiuyue frowned.
"Where are ghosts in this world? Even if there are ghosts, can they be as scary as human hearts? Why are you getting more and more courageous?"
Having said that, Lin Jiuyue was still a little more cautious as he walked towards the place where the sound came from.
"Qi Ye, it seems to be a person?"
Hearing this, Lin Qiye breathed a sigh of relief. He took two steps at a time and moved closer to Lin Jiuyue, taking a closer look.
The man's face was dirty, and it was night, and the two men didn't bring torches, so they couldn't see his specific appearance at all, only his general outline.
However, the man's facial features look pretty good. If he washes himself clean, he probably won't look too bad.
"Sister, I think I know this person."
Lin Jiuyue looked at Lin Qiye in confusion.
"When did you meet him? How come I didn't know?"
"Hey, he was among the refugees when we went to exchange salt."
Lin Jiuyue: ...
This doesn't seem to have much to do with knowing each other, right? At most, we've seen each other.
"Why did this person fall here? I don't know if he was injured or what. Sister, should we take him back?"
Lin Jiuyue frowned.
"Qi Ye, since you've seen him, do you know where he comes from? How about we leave him here and call his family over?"
Lin Jiuyue didn't want to meddle in other people's affairs. It was already good enough that she could go out and call her family.
"Sister, this is really difficult. I heard that he is the only one left in his family."
Lin Jiuyue: ...
"Is he alone? He must have relatives or something, right?"
"He does have relatives, but they're no different from ours. They're all top-notch relatives, so it's almost the same whether he has them or not."
Lin Jiuyue was completely speechless.
I went out late at night and met a fellow wanderer.
"Sister, how about we send him back?"
"Water, water~"
The man murmured.
Lin Jiuyue hesitated for a while, but finally couldn't bear it, so she took out her bamboo tube and was about to give the man water.
The bamboo tube was handed to the man's mouth and suddenly taken back.
"Qiye, use your bamboo tube to feed him water."
Lin Qiye knew that his sister disliked others using her bamboo tube to drink water, so without saying a word, he took out his own bamboo tube and fed the man some water.
Ji Liangchuan drank the water as he wished and slowly opened his eyes.
What caught my eye was a brother and sister, and I knew them.
"Thank you."
Lin Jiuyue said expressionlessly when she saw the man wake up.
"Now that you're awake, let's go."
After saying that, I felt something was wrong.
"Can you find your way back?"
Ji Liangchuan nodded, his voice still a little weak.
"able."
Lin Jiuyue said "hmm".
"In that case, you should go back quickly. There might be wild animals in the mountains. It's dangerous."
The man didn't respond, but slowly stood up with his weak body.
"Where are you going? I'm going with you."
Lin Jiuyue: ...
No, this person couldn't be thinking that he was going back, right?
"We're going into the mountains. Are you sure you want to come with us? Your health..."
Lin Jiuyue calmly pointed to the depths of the woods and looked at Ji Liangchuan with some suspicion.
"Well, let's go together. I've got some game left in the mountains. It's a good time to go get it."
