Seeing that she couldn't drink, Ye Shian quickly replaced the bottle with milk: "This is beer, mother, drink this, this is milk."

"What is beer?"

"Beer is beer. Its alcohol content is much lower than that of liquor. You have to drink a lot to get drunk."

"Then this beer tastes terrible."

Ye Shian couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh: "Ah, Mom, do you want to try a cocktail?"

"What, cocktails can be made into wine?"

Ye Shian laughed even louder: "It's not a cocktail, it's a cocktail, which is actually fruit wine."

After saying that, she stood up and ran to get the wine, and came back after a while. What she got was a can, and knowing that Yu Xiuying didn't know how to open it, she kindly helped her open it.

"Mom, try it, maybe you'll like it."

"No, no, Mom, don't drink it."

"Oh, mom, just try it." Ye Shian acted coquettishly unconsciously.

Ye Shian had never done this before, but Yu Xiuying was reluctant to refuse: "Okay, then I'll give it a try."

After taking a sip, Yu Xiuying smacked her lips and glanced at the can: "This wine has a floral scent."

Ye Shian's eyebrows curved: "How about it, this tastes good, right?"

Yu Xiuying nodded: "This tastes good."

Ye Shian raised his glass, and Yu Xiuying followed Ye Shian's example and raised her glass.

"Cheers, I hope we can all turn danger into safety in the future."

"Yes, we can all turn danger into safety in the future."

The cocktail tasted sweet and the alcohol content was not high, but it still had a strong aftertaste. Yu Xiuying, who had never drunk alcohol before, drank two cans at once. When the two came out, she was already a little tipsy.

Looking at his mother with red cheeks, Ye Shian carefully helped her to sit aside.

Yu Xiuying didn't wake up until the sun rose.

"Mom, you're awake." Ye Shian was waiting while holding Zi Yuan.

Yu Xiuying still felt a little dizzy: "Didn't you say that the cocktail didn't have much alcohol? How come I'm still drunk?"

"Mom, wine can make people drunk."

Ye Shian handed over the gourd: "Mom, drink some water, you will feel better."

Yu Xiuying didn't feel that uncomfortable. She drank some water to relax and finally regained her spirits.

"It's almost noon, Shian, let's hurry up."

Ye Shian nodded, and the two of them were packing up and about to leave when a man came up to them, rubbing his hands embarrassedly.

"You are also fleeing."

Ye Shian looked at the man in front of him warily. The man looked to be about thirty or forty years old. Just now when Ye Shian was guarding Yu Xiuying, the man was not far away.

"What do you want to do?"

"Do you want to change?" The man lowered his head and spoke so softly that you couldn't hear what he said.

Ye Shian frowned: "What did you say?"

The man stammered and repeated it again.

Although they had been on a bumpy road for the past half month, Ye Shian would put her in the space to rest whenever he had time, always trying his best to make Zi Yuan feel comfortable.

Ziyuan finally lived up to their careful care. She had become a lot fatter than before, and her little baby fat was showing signs of eating up. Her little appearance was particularly adorable.

Especially compared with the people fleeing on the road, she looks even fairer and more delicate.

"Change?" Ye Shian, who lived in a peaceful era, didn't understand what the man meant and looked at him puzzled.

The man finally raised his head at this time: "Well, look at my little daughter, she is five years old this year, she is a little thin, but she still has some meat."

Still some meat...

"You, do you want to eat your own children?" Ye Shian's narrowed eyes suddenly widened.

The man lowered his head in embarrassment: "Hey, this is the only solution I have. It's better for her to die alone than for our whole family to die."

Ye Shian’s head exploded with a bang.

Yu Xiuying was the first to react. She rushed in front of Ye Shian and blocked her two daughters behind her.

At the same time, he pulled out the fruit knife from his waist and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? You dare to have ideas about my daughter? Don't blame me for being rude to you."

The man didn't expect Yu Xiuying to have such a big reaction. Looking at the sharp knife, he quickly stepped back: "No, then no, there's no need to use the knife, big sister."

Ye Shian stuffed Ziyuan in his arms to Yu Xiuying: "Mom, you hold Ziyuan first."

The man secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Yu Xiuying put away the knife, but before he could completely relax, she punched him hard in the face.

"You still want to eat my sister? I'll beat you to death..."

"You bastard, you beast, you are not a human being, but you want to eat people. You would rather let your woman become food in order to survive. I will beat you to death..."

The man hadn't eaten for several days and had walked here only by drinking water. How could he withstand Ye Shian's beating? He curled up on the ground, holding his head and begging for mercy.

"Stop fighting, stop fighting, help, someone is killing someone..."

Women and children not far away saw their family members being beaten and they all ran over here.

"Don't fight, don't fight."

"Don't hit my dad, don't hit my dad..."

Even the 5-year-old girl cried and begged Ye Shian for mercy: "Please don't hit my dad, don't hit him, wuwuwu..."

Ye Shian was really angry, she really treated Zi Yan as her own sister. How could she let someone go when someone said he wanted to eat Zi Yuan in front of her?

In fact, they did smell the aroma of meat along the way. Yu Xiuying would deliberately pull Ye Shian away, and Ye Shian never thought about eating people.

Seeing the little girl begging for mercy for her beastly father, Ye Shian became even angrier.

"He was about to sell you off to someone else to eat, and you still begged for mercy on his behalf."

The little girl sobbed, “It was me who asked her to sell me, wuwuwu… Sister, don’t blame Dad. Our whole family is almost starving to death, wuwuwu…”

Ye Shian stopped beating until he was tired. The man on the ground did not get up. He curled up and held his head, crying like a child.

"I don't want to either. She is my own daughter, but I have no choice. There is no way to survive. My parents have already starved to death. I can't let my wife and children starve to death..."

Yu Xiuying patiently coaxed the crying Ziyuan in her arms while coldly scolding the man: "Then you have the heart to let your daughter die. Let your daughter become food in other people's mouths..."

The man held his head in his hands without saying a word and cried even louder.

A woman was crying while holding her three children.

"We don't want to let our daughter die, but we really have no other choice. I want to sell myself to get some food for my family, but no one wants me."

Only then did Ye Shian notice that the woman had a black birthmark on her forehead.

The family was so hungry that they were skin and bones. Their clothes swayed in the wind.

"We haven't eaten for a few days. If we don't have food today, I'm afraid our family will end up here."

Thinking of what she had experienced along the way, the woman couldn't help but burst into tears.

Yu Xiuying looked at the crying woman and felt pity for her.

She pulled Ye Shian aside and said with some embarrassment: "Shian..."

Ye Shian naturally knew what Yu Xiuying meant. He turned around and walked to his backpack, pretending to take out two pancakes from it.

It’s not that she has no food, but she doesn’t dare to reveal too much. If someone sees her, there’s no guarantee that someone won’t have bad intentions.

Ye Shian came up to the woman with a pancake in his hand and said, "I lost control and hit your man just now. This is my apology."

The woman couldn't believe her eyes and looked at Ye Shian with gratitude.

"This this……"

The man who was crying on the ground stopped crying. He raised his head and looked at Ye Shian blankly. His eyes were swollen from being hit by Ye Shian. He looked particularly funny.

Ye Shian added: "This is my compensation for beating him."
