When Tang Qiyue heard the voice, she turned around and walked back to the dilapidated temple. When she got closer, she saw Boss Hu with his eyes open and confused, and Lin San who was crying, and she curled the corners of her mouth.

Is this person a little too excited?

Seeing Tang Qiyue, Hu Laosan came back to his senses and struggled to sit up. Unexpectedly, he pulled his wound too hard, and the pain made him sweat coldly and his face turned pale instantly.

"Boss, don't move. Your injuries haven't healed yet." Lin San quickly supported the man.

Boss Hu looked at Tang Qiyue and asked, "Where are we now? How is the situation in Huaiyang Prefecture?"

Tang Qiyue didn't need to answer. Lin San next to her started chattering about what he knew. After listening, Boss Hu was silent for a long time.

Tang Qiyue knew what he was thinking about. It was nothing more than for the companions who had settled down in Huaiyang City. She didn't know how they were doing now. She said, "You still need to rest for a few days. You can recuperate in the dilapidated temple for a few days and then continue on your journey in a few days."

Boss Hu nodded, "I'll do as you say."

At the door, Boss Xu waited for them to finish yelling, then opened his eyes and said, "The children are hungry, cook the food. We can't let the children starve."

"No, we still have such a long way to go. What will we eat tomorrow and the day after tomorrow if we eat tonight?" Most people were unwilling to do so. They would rather starve than waste the little remaining food. The children licked their lips, knowing that they would have nothing to eat tonight, so they could only look on with red eyes and dare not say a word.

"It's okay for you to be hungry, but how can a little kid be hungry?" Boss Xu couldn't get over these people, so he could only get angry at himself. He could still handle eating less or not eating at all, but how could a kid handle it?

"Anyway, I have to save my food. If I eat it now, what will I do in the future?" The families without children said they disagreed no matter what, and those with children were also reluctant to do so.

Boss Xu gritted his teeth and said, "Since you are not willing, then just starve."

Tang Qiyue listened to the dispute outside. It seems that Boss Xu is not so respected by these people. In this case... her clear eyes flashed. Why not recruit this person into their team?

"Miss Tang." It was Boss Hu's voice calling from behind, and Tang Qiyue walked over.

After listening to Lin San's explanation of the whole story, Boss Hu admired Tang Qiyue even more. When he looked at her, his eyes were full of admiration. "Those people outside..."

Tang Qiyue curled her lips, "It seems that there is something unhappy between them."

The two looked at each other, the meaning in their eyes was obvious.

Boss Hu nodded, "No matter what you want to do, I agree! Miss Tang, you saved my life. From now on, you are my benefactor. If you tell me to go east, I will never go west."

Tang Qiyue's lips twitched slightly. It's unnecessary.

Adults can endure hunger and thirst, but children can't bear it at all, especially with the smell of food wafting from the dilapidated temple from time to time. The children, who couldn't bear it anymore, began to howl in a hoarse voice.

"Why are you crying? I'll just starve you to death. All you do is eat. I'll beat you to death." The hot-tempered woman started to teach the lesson without paying any attention to the people around her trying to stop her.

Curses and cries were heard one after another.

Boss Xu, who was resting with his eyes closed nearby, could no longer stand it, "The child is so hungry, what's wrong with giving him a bite to eat?"

"That's right. With so much noise, how can we rest and travel tomorrow?"

"If the children starve to death, why are we rushing on this journey so fast?" If it weren't for their children and future generations, they would rather starve to death or die of thirst in their own homes than leave their homes and flee from famine with their families.

The woman glared at the people who accused her, "You guys are talking without any pain in your waist, but you will be stuttered if you howl. Is the food I have enough for me to eat?" No matter what they said, she would not take out the food, because it was life-saving.

When the others saw this, they didn't know what to say. After all, everyone was so hungry that they felt dizzy and didn't care about anything else.

"Those people in there are not easy to deal with. If you don't care about them anymore and piss them off..." Boss Xu didn't elaborate on what he said next.

"What should I do?" Suddenly, I was panicked.

At this time, the woman who had scolded the child severely rubbed her hands and said, "Boss Xu, I don't want this to happen either. There is not enough food at home. If he is the only one eating for the whole family, what will the adults do?"

Boss Xu glanced at the group of people behind the woman and didn't respond.

"How about you give my child a couple of bites?" The woman's eyes sparkled.

"I have no food."

The woman stared at the backpack beside him. It was covered by weeds and couldn't see clearly, but everyone knew that there was a lot of food inside. "Why is there nothing? Let us see the backpack."

Seeing that Boss Xu ignored her, the woman simply raised her voice to attract everyone's attention, including Tang Qiyue in the dilapidated temple, "We all have families to support, Boss Xu, you are alone, you are taking up so much food, it won't be a problem to give some to the children to fill their stomachs."

In the past, every time they snatched food, they would distribute it by household, and there was not enough for those with a large population. So the woman had long been thinking about the old man Xu, and wanted to take the food from him, leaving him a bite to keep him from starving to death. However, she was so hungry that she forgot that old man Xu was not a good person.

Boss Xu looked at her coldly, "You want my food?"

"It's not that you want it, you should be kind enough to give the children a bite." The people around were silent, obviously agreeing with what the woman said.

"I've tried my best to protect you guys along the way. Now that you have nothing to eat, you can think about my food. If you don't have food, you will have to eat my flesh!" Boss Xu roared, making people's eardrums hurt.

The woman's eyes flashed. There were so many of them, they wouldn't lose in a fight, but now they asked you for protection and to share food. How uncomfortable!

The roar drove away the sleepiness of everyone in the dilapidated temple. Lin San was a person who liked to watch the fun and was the first to run out and tease, "Boss, you are being abandoned."

These words were like a slap in everyone's face, making them feel extremely embarrassed.

"It's none of your business. Get lost." The woman glared at Lin San. "This is our business. What are you standing there for?"

Lin San looked like he was right, which made the other person very angry. "It's none of my business. It's just that you guys are bothering us with your quarrel. If you can't sleep, you have to come out to watch the fun."

When Boss Hu heard this, he wanted to call the person back, but was stopped by Tang Qiyue. He didn't know what Tang Qiyue was thinking before, but now he vaguely understood, so he decisively shut up, fearing that his inability to speak would delay Tang Qiyue's business.

Lin San chewed the dried meat and stared at Boss Xu, "Look at you, you are protecting a group of ungrateful people."

The ungrateful people looked at each other in anger, "Can you speak?"
