Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

Gurgle～～.

The noise was so loud that everyone looked at him sideways. The embarrassed Ergou wished the ground would crack open so that he could hide in it immediately.

It's really embarrassing.

Er Gouzi wanted to run away, but his stomach ignored his wishes and kept growling more and more recklessly, just like an ignorant child who couldn't get his favorite toy and cried to adults in various ways.

Just when Er Gouzi was feeling embarrassed, a cold voice came, "Come and have a bowl."

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a bolt of thunder that struck the entire Lin family, knocking them to the ground. They almost suspected that there was something wrong with their hearing.

what's the situation?

Isn't San Ya the most hostile to outsiders? She also never bothers to help others and sets a good persona.

what is it today?

A sudden change of personality? ?

The size of the tube is too big, it's very weird and scary.

Even Ergou was shocked and at a loss, waving his hands repeatedly, "No, this is not allowed. The girl is so kind that you lent us this... water purification tool so that we can drink clean water. This is a great favor. I can't thank you enough. How can you take advantage of the girl? No, no, thank you for your kindness, but the world is in chaos now..."

"I asked you to come over, so I asked you something. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

Uh uh uh uh…

Lin Xiaoyue's uncharacteristic behavior and surprising strength left everyone stunned.

Although Miao didn't know her third daughter's intention, no matter how much she loved the food, she would not embarrass her daughter in front of outsiders.

After a short pause, seeing that her daughter had no intention of changing her mind, Miao stood up resignedly and mortared another bowl of rice from the pot. She handed it to Ergou, who was standing stiffly and very uncomfortable, as if he was being punished. She began to wonder in her heart, no wonder her daughter asked her to cook more, it turned out that she was waiting here.

Er Gouzi's body was faster than his mouth, and he took the rice bowl with shaking hands, but he didn't do anything else. He just stupidly held the solid rice, his heart was heavy, and he couldn't tell what it felt like.

"Eat quickly. I have something to ask you after you finish eating." Lin Xiaoyue didn't want to wait until he had finished feeling sad and digested his emotions before asking her. By that time, who knows how long it would take.

Ergou quickly rubbed his eyes with his wrist and asked her in a hoarse voice, "Girl, if you have any questions, just ask. I will tell you everything I know."

The Lin family had seen the miserable plight of the refugees, but they didn't know that Ergou had already run out of ammunition and food and had been starving for two days.

Under Lin Xiaoyue's special care, they were still able to have three meals a day and did not really experience the pain and despair of hunger.

At this moment, the Lin family saw Ergou holding the bowl of rice carefully, wanting to eat but not daring to, with mixed emotions on his face, and they couldn't help but be deeply moved.

Lin Xiaoyue stopped eating, turned around and looked at her straightly. There was a sharpness and scrutiny in her eyes that was inconsistent with her age. Ergouzi became even more nervous and his heart was in his throat.

"Tell me, what happened to the wound on your face? I remember when I met you at the riverbank at noon, you didn't have any wounds on your face." Lin Xiaoyue lightly touched Ergou's scratched face with chopsticks.

When everyone heard this, they all looked at Ergou and pricked up their ears, ready to listen to him talk about what was going on.

At this time, people who didn't understand the cause and effect of the matter couldn't help but have wild imaginations, all kinds of romantic gossips came to their mind, and they looked at Ergouzi with a strange look in their eyes.

Lin Xiaoyue: ...This melon is really not what everyone thinks it tastes like.

Ergou, who was misunderstood, became even more nervous. His thick lips trembled and he hesitated for a long time, but he couldn't even fart.

Well, another idiot, the kind that can’t even fart even with three sticks.

Lin Xiaoyue was not in a hurry, but she still knocked the edge of the bowl with her chopsticks, making a crisp sound, "Is it because of my family's things?"

Ergou didn't expect Lin Xiaoyue to be so sharp and guess the key at once. But due to his natural character, he couldn't do things like gossiping about others behind their backs.

Seeing Ergou scratching his head anxiously, at a loss, Lin Xiaoyue was more certain that it was for her own wooden barrel and charcoal. Nine out of ten times, some refugees were "motivated by the money" and wanted to take it for themselves, and Ergou was probably trying to stop them in order to abide by the agreement with her, which led to the conflict with the other party.

Judging from the wounds on his face, it was probably done by a woman or child. After all, these days only women would show their claws when arguing, while men would mostly slap or punch.

Just imagine, a grown man being surrounded by several women and scratching his face, that picture...tsk tsk tsk tsk.

But, having said that, this man was a bit cowardly, but it was not easy for him to make such a great "sacrifice" to keep his promise.

Such a character is probably inseparable from the teachings and actions of Ergou's mother.

Lin Xiaoyue wanted to win over the mother and son to join her, if for no other reason than their simple and honest nature, and their insistence on fulfilling their promises no matter the cost, which was worthy of her respect.

As for Ergou's honest character, is he not worthy of her trust? Lin Xiaoyue is not worried at all.

In terms of fighting ability, she believed in herself more. Besides, the opponents she had met so far were just ordinary people with mediocre strength, not martial arts masters who could fly over eaves and walls. If she could still fail in this situation, she could only blame herself for wasting the opportunity to travel through time.

Besides, if you want to recruit someone to join your gang, you definitely can’t abandon the other person’s widow.

It is said that a mother is strong. If something really happens, Ergou will be responsible for guarding, Ergou's mother will be responsible for bullying, and she has her own strength in terms of force, so it will be almost done.

"Miss, Miss..." Ergou saw Lin Xiaoyue lowering her eyes and not saying anything, and he was a little nervous. He was worried that he would make the little girl unhappy because he concealed the shameful attempt of those women in the village who loved to take advantage of petty gains, were stingy and greedy, and tried to occupy the wooden barrel and charcoal.

Then... next time can they borrow the little girl's tools to get clean water... ?

He was really tormented after drinking dirty, smelly water with an indescribable strange taste for more than ten days.

But you can't live without drinking water, no one can stand it.

I finally met a smart and kind girl who was willing to lend me the tool that could make sewage clean, but she happened to be one of the women from some troublesome families in the village...

Alas, in the final analysis, I have failed the girl's trust, so this bowl of rice...

Lin Xiaoyue: ...Am I kindhearted? Do you have any misunderstanding about me?

"Take the meal back and eat with your mother. When you get back on the road, ask your mother to come over. I have something to say to her." Lin Xiaoyue sent Ergou back decisively.

She felt that instead of explaining it to Ergou and wasting time arguing about it, it would be more useful to talk to his mother directly.
