Suihe used a wooden stick to pull out the sweet potatoes and squeezed them carefully to make sure they were fully cooked.

"Second sister, what is this?" San Ya also came forward curiously and carefully picked up one, but was so hot that she quickly dropped it.

"Second sister, it's so hot." San Ya blew on her burned fingers.

"Are you stupid? This freshly cooked sweet potato must be hot. You have to wait until it cools down before you can eat it." Sui He picked up a piece and shook it gently on the ground to shake off some of the dust on the sweet potato. Then he carefully broke it apart.

The white sweet potato flesh was steaming hot. Sui He handed half a piece of roasted sweet potato to San Ya: "Here, eat slowly, be careful of the heat."

Hearing that it was ready to eat, Sanya took half a piece of sweet potato without caring about the heat, blew on it, and took a bite impatiently.

"Shh...ha...it smells so good, second sister, I have never eaten anything so delicious before"

"Eat slowly, it's not enough. There's more here. I promise you'll be full." Sui He couldn't help laughing when he saw San Ya grimacing because of the burnt sweet potatoes.

He reached out and pulled out a few sweet potatoes from the fire.

Sanya was probably burned too, so she stopped eating voraciously and took small bites of the edges that were not hot.

Maybe she was too hungry. San Ya ate several mouthfuls of sweet potato before she slowly stopped eating. After all, she was only able to survive on two bowls of porridge every day, but she was still working hard. If she saw something to eat, she would eat it like crazy.

Sui He patted the ashes on his hands, looked at San Ya who seemed to be choking, and poured a bowl of water and placed it next to San Ya.

"Eat slowly, be careful not to choke"

San Ya took the water and gulped it down, then put the bowl down and continued eating the sweet potato in her hand: "Second sister, can you please not go back?"

"What did you say?" Sui He didn't quite understand what San Ya meant: "Why don't you want me to go back?"

San Ya looked up at Sui He in confusion: "Because if you go back, you will disappear like my elder sister. I don't want you to disappear, otherwise I will never see you again."

"What do you mean the same as my elder sister? What nonsense are you talking about? People might disappear." Sui He laughed.

"But my elder sister disappeared. I searched for her for a long time but couldn't find her," San Ya replied to Sui He seriously, "Didn't you almost disappear when you went out with dad the other day? I saw you with a lot of blood on your head."

"?? San Ya, did you see me fall off the cliff because I went out with my father?" Sui He always felt that San Ya knew something, so he carefully asked

San Ya tilted her head and thought for a while: "I don't know, I just saw Dad taking you out that day, and then you disappeared. When Second Grandpa found you, you were already under the cliff, bleeding a lot."

Sui He's expression was a little subtle. She was a little puzzled when she first came here. How could a fool like the original owner climb such a high mountain and accidentally fall off the mountain? Sure enough, there was a hidden story behind this.

I think this is probably the ancient version of "Her Disappearance"

I didn't want to take this fool of the original owner with me, and I thought she was a burden, so I wanted to take her to the mountain and abandon her.

Thinking of this, Sui He still had something to understand. "Don't worry, I won't disappear casually." Sui He wanted to touch San Ya's head, but found that his hands were dirty because he had just touched the roasted sweet potatoes, so he put his hands down.

"What's the matter with the elder sister you mentioned?" Sui He saw San Ya finish the sweet potato in her hand and gave her another sweet potato.

San Ya swallowed the sweet potato in her hand in two bites, took the sweet potato from Sui He's hand, and peeled off the burnt skin: "Second sister, don't you remember? My eldest sister accidentally fell into the river while washing her clothes, and she never came up again."

"You and I have been looking for my elder sister for a long time but we can't find her. People in the village say that she is dead."

"Oh, that's how it is. I used to have a bad brain and I can't remember a lot of things." Sui He laughed dryly and stopped talking.

"Are you full? If you are, wash your face and hands, don't let anyone find out." Sui He saw that Erya had eaten two sweet potatoes and stopped eating. He took the bamboo tube beside him, poured some water on the towel and handed it to Sanya.

San Ya also knew that she couldn't let others find out that she was eating secretly. She took the handkerchief and carefully wiped the black dust on her mouth and hands, looking at the remaining roasted sweet potatoes on the ground.

"Second sister, what should we do with the rest?"

"I'll find some leaves to wrap them up and take them home to eat when I'm hungry." Sui He ripped off a few leaves from the tree next to him, carefully wrapped up the remaining roasted sweet potatoes, and put them in his pocket.

"Let's go, let's go back." After eating and drinking, the two people slowly walked down the mountain. Maybe because they were full, San Ya seemed a lot more relaxed when she carried the basket on her back.

At the foot of the mountain, Sui He separated from San Ya. It was still early, and Sui He didn't want to go back. What was there to do? Going back would be a mess again. Even if the Chen family wasn't tired, Sui He felt tired.

"Sister Chen" a soft call came from the side

Sui He looked in the direction of the sound and saw Zhao Da Zhuang and Zhao Er Zhuang standing in the corner, waving at her quietly, motioning her to come over.

"Da Zhuang, why are you here?" Sui He saw them and hurried over.

"Granny Chen was worried about you, so she asked us to come over to check on you and bring you something." Zhao Dazhuang took out two oil-paper bags from the basket next to him and said, "Here I am, take them. Don't worry, we were very careful when we came, and no one saw us."

Sui He took the oil paper bag and touched it. It was soft and although it was cold, Sui He could clearly feel that it was a few pancakes.

"Sister Chen, when are you going back? It's boring when you're not around. Everyone misses you." Zhao Erzhuang asked Sui He in a low voice: "If you don't go back, gold and silver won't recognize you anymore."

Seeing his younger brother asking this, Zhao Dazhuang looked at Sui He with shining eyes, waiting for Sui He's answer.

"It's almost time. I'll go back after I finish my work here. Please help me tell my grandma and the others that I'm doing fine and ask them not to worry about me." Sui He opened an oil paper bag and found four pancakes inside. His heart warmed. It feels so good to be cared for by others.

"It's getting late, you should go back quickly, and be careful not to get discovered."

"Okay, then we'll go first. Sister Chen, please be careful. Come back soon." After saying that, the two brothers carefully looked around, and after making sure there was no one around, they chose a small road with few people and walked away.

When Suihe saw them walking away, he opened another oil-paper bag. Inside the bag were two big chicken legs.

"Really? I told you I wouldn't be hungry, but you sent me something from far away." Sui He smiled, wrapped the things in his hand, and put them into the space.

Sui He returned to Chen's house in a good mood. As soon as he entered the yard, he saw Zhou Yue holding Xiao Bao sitting in the yard. San Ya was collecting firewood. Seeing Sui He coming back, she carefully winked at Sui He.

"Hmph." Zhou Yue curled her lips when she saw Sui He coming back, and ignored him.

Sui He ignored her and went back to his room.

"Bah, let's see how long you can starve. Just wait, there will be a day when you will beg me for mercy."
