After another day of walking, the road surface had basically returned to normal, and even if there was mud, it had been dried by the sun.

There was still water in the low-lying land beside the road, and there was hardly a single crop in the field. This year's wheat harvest was very poor, and if there was no harvest in the fall, I dare not imagine how difficult this winter would be.

When encountering mountains, most people choose to take the mountain road, at least there is food there.

When they come across lakes or rivers, people would gather there to catch fish. They wouldn't necessarily catch anything every time, nor would they necessarily have several meals a day. Some would be lucky and catch more river fish and eat more, while those who didn't catch anything could only drink more water.

As for those who catch river fish, they eat as much as they catch, since there is no way to store it in the hot weather.

Whenever everyone took a break and went out to find food, Ye Shian would follow them out. No matter what, she would always bring back some food, but never much each time.

But in fact, the real food is in the gourd. The most exaggerated time was that it was filled with eight-treasure porridge. Yu Xiuying didn't dare to chew it after drinking it, for fear that others would find out the flaw.

Today they encountered a river. When they saw the water, everyone rushed to the river, one to cool off, and the other to catch some river food.

Ye Shian and Yu Xiuying followed the crowd and ran to the river. There had just been a flood and the river was very turbulent, so people could only try their luck by the river.

Yu Xiuying held Ziyuan and sat on the gravel to rest, while Ye Shian used the excuse of looking for food to go to a less crowded place.

Old Lady Ye's eyes almost never left Ye Shian. Seeing her walking away alone again, she immediately followed her.

How fast Ye Shian walked, how fast Old Lady Ye followed, and in the end they were almost jogging.

But even so, Old Lady Ye still lost him. She stared with her eyes wide open, trying to find Ye Shian's exact location.

Sure enough, she found some movement behind a big rock not far away. She was delighted and walked forward quietly. When she was about to get closer, she stopped, adjusted her breathing, held her breath, and approached carefully. She believed that she could catch Ye Shian stealing food this time.

Behind the big rock, Ye Shian's eyes flashed with cunning, and in his hand was a big, snow-white, soft steamed bun.

In the past two days, she almost choked to death on the steamed buns in order to make fun of Old Lady Ye, but every time she saw Old Lady Ye going crazy, she felt that it was all worth it.

Old Lady Ye climbed up the rock carefully, looked at Ye Shian who was chewing a steamed bun on the back of the rock, and pounced on him. Her dry hands tightly grasped Ye Shian's hands holding the steamed bun.

"I caught you, I caught you, let's see what you say this time."

Old Lady Ye was going crazy these days. She always saw Ye Shian chewing a steamed bun, but when she walked over, there was nothing there.

She told her son and daughter-in-law about it, but they didn't believe her because they had already gone through their things that day.

But she really saw it.

Now that she has finally been caught red-handed, everyone should believe that what she said is true this time.

Ye Shian blinked his big black and white eyes and looked at Old Lady Ye with an innocent face: "Grandma Ye, what are you talking about? I don't understand a word you say."

"What did I say? I said you..." Her eyes stopped abruptly when she saw the hand she was holding.

"Where's the bun?"

"Mantou, where are the mantou?"

"Where's the steamed bun? Where's the steamed bun in your hand? I clearly saw you eating it. You were clearly eating it..."

"What steamed buns? Grandma Ye, are you crazy? Where are the steamed buns? Where can I get steamed buns to eat?"

Looking at Old Lady Ye who was on the verge of collapse, Ye Shian blinked his eyes innocently: "Grandma Ye, are you too hungry?"

"Where's your steamed bun? Where's your steamed bun? Where did you hide it? Take it out for me. Take it out for me quickly..."

Old Lady Ye kept searching Ye Shian's body, but it was difficult to hide a bun or even a piece of paper in his thin clothes.

"You threw it into the river, didn't you? You threw it into the river..."

"Yes, you must have seen me coming, so you threw the buns into the river."

Seeing Old Lady Ye deceiving herself, Ye Shian still pretended to be stupid.

Old Lady Ye was convinced of her guess, and she pulled Ye Shian back.

"Come on, come back with me, tell them that you ate the buns, but you threw them into the river. Come on, come with me!"

Ye Shian was pulled towards the Ye family!

"Second brother, second brother, I told you that this girl had food, but you didn't believe me. This time I caught her red-handed."

Ye Zhankui was very lucky today as he caught a snake as soon as he arrived at the river. If he had encountered it in the past, he would definitely let it go. But now, it was almost about to eat people, so was he still afraid of eating snakes?

Retribution will come in the future!

Tian was boiling water, and Xiaoshan started chirping beside him!

"Oh, that's great, we'll have meat to eat soon!"

"Eat meat, eat meat, eat meat, eat meat!"

Ye Hai glared at his brother unhappily: "Shut up!"

Can't this idiot see that others are eyeing him covetously?

What if someone has bad intentions and steals it?

"I won't, I won't, oh, I won't..."

Xiaoshan looked like he deserved a beating, and Ye Hai clenched his fists so hard that they made a crackling sound.

Ye Lian'er came back holding a branch: "Don't pay attention to him, I'll let Dad beat him up later, and see if he still acts naughty!"

Xiaoshan was afraid of Ye Zhankui. Even though he was a nice guy most of the time, when Ye Zhankui had a stern face, he dared not even breathe!

When Old Lady Ye was pulling Ye Shian over here, she kept muttering to herself, attracting the attention of people nearby.

Yu Xiuying rushed over with the child in her arms at the first opportunity.

"What are you doing? Let Shi'an go."

Old Lady Ye directly pulled Ye Shian to her family and said, "This damn girl just stole a white flour bun and threw it into the water when she saw me. You, tell your second uncle that you threw the bun away. Tell me!"

Ye Shian staggered after being pushed. She pouted unhappily: "Grandma Ye, are you crazy because of hunger? Where can I get steamed buns to eat? Throwing them into the water? If I really have steamed buns, do you think I would be willing to throw them away? Even if you throw me into the water, I will not throw the steamed buns into the water."

Ye Zhankui was a little unhappy. His mother kept saying that she saw Ye Shian eating steamed buns these past two days. How was this possible? Not to mention now, even at home they hadn't eaten white flour steamed buns for a long time.

"Mom, what she eats is none of our business."

"I am her grandmother, and you are her second uncle. How can she eat alone without telling us?"

Yu Xiuying was furious: "What on earth do you want to do? We have already severed our relationship. What we eat and drink has nothing to do with you. Why don't you let my daughter go?"

"Humph, if you want me to let her go, I will let her go as long as she admits that she secretly ate white flour buns."

Ye Shian looked distressed: "Grandma Ye, this is really difficult for me..."

"Don't pretend and don't think you can fool everyone."
