After listening to what Mrs. Cai said, Old Liu went out from the backyard alley and went to the foot shop to buy a bag of drugs. The foot shop is a kind of grocery store that sells everything, both formal and informal. When asked why Old Liu didn't buy it in the formal Baohetang, it was because Old Liu was short of money and bought drugs that he didn't usually use. It was obvious what was going on. The foot shop was different. People from all walks of life were willing to go there to buy unclean drugs, and usually the transactions were done secretly. The waiters in the shop would not ask, after all, buying drugs for use was not a good thing, so everyone knew it tacitly.

When Old Liu's family returned to the backyard of Baohe Hall, they were reluctant to go to the place where the two children were staying. After all, they had never done anything against the will of heaven. After waiting for a while, they made a long mental preparation. Thinking about the old man and his son, what was wrong with them? There were also fairies. If they were immortals, why didn't they cast a spell to heal the old man? Thinking of this, Old Liu's family walked towards the front door with confidence. When they arrived at the front door, they looked back and forth, but they didn't see the two people. There was only a servant sleeping in the front, nodding his head, with a book in front of him, which he was flipping through.

Her heart skipped a beat. Could they have heard what she and Mrs. Cai had said? Did they know what they were planning? Impossible, impossible. They were only a few years old. Besides, she could feel them approaching her. This gave her enough excuse to knock on the table.

"Young man, may I ask where are the two kids just now? One boy and one girl, they are very pretty," Old Liu gestured with his hands.

"Oh, them, the little girl is clamoring to see the sugar-picking figures, and her brother took her to see it. You go look for them, it shouldn't be far away." The waiter waved his hand impatiently and continued to doze off.

Old Liu searched the town for a long time before he found the candy figurine maker. Seeing that there were no children at the candy figurine stall, he wanted to ask something.

"Uncle, were there any boys or girls who came to watch the candy figurine just now?" asked Mr. Liu anxiously. "It's 60 taels! Don't run away."

"Yes, a lot," said the old man picking up the candy.

"Then do you know where they went?"

"Everyone has gone home." The most common people the old man sees every day are children. When children leave, don't they go home? Where else can they go?

After hearing this, Old Liu's family breathed a sigh of relief. After thinking about it, they hurried home. Old Liu's family was delayed for a long time before returning from the town. Liu Wenwen and the other two were too tired to rest because they hurried home. As soon as Old Liu's family left the town, Liu Wenwen and the other two had already arrived. They wrapped their clothes in sheets, put the small stones in the pockets of their school uniforms, zipped them up, and selected a sickle and a small shovel from the farm tools. Liu Wenwen packed up the room and took away as much as he could, including a thin summer quilt and sheets. Then he went to the kitchen and saw a few steamed buns, which seemed to be tributes. No matter what, he took them and said, "Oh, there is also a flint, so that we can make a fire in the wild. Take some salt and put it in a small bowl. There is also a kettle to fill with water. He also packed some rice to take away. When he left, he saw a small pot on the ground next to the stove. Liu Wenwen took it away without hesitation and also packed some vegetables.

"Do you want to go in and get some money?" Liu Wenwen asked Shen Runze guiltily.

"Forget it, we were not harmed. Their family still needs medical treatment. Taking some daily necessities is also a compensation for us. Let's go and go around the road out of the village so as not to bump into them," Shen Runze said in a low voice.

Liu Wenwen and Shen Runze each carried a bag and carried several pots and pans in their hands. They walked along the path to the village entrance. After thinking about it, they decided to hide in the nearby woods until dark to avoid being discovered.

After waiting for about an hour, I finally saw Lao Liu's family. I hurried home in a hurry, and kept muttering to myself, "I should go home now and not be discovered. Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, don't blame me, I have no choice." I kept repeating things like this over and over again.

Liu Wenwen and the other person watched her pass by. The sky gradually darkened and there were fewer pedestrians on the road. They came out of the nearby woods, but did not dare to walk in the middle of the road. They walked in the shade of the trees, so they could not be seen unless they looked carefully.

Liu Wenwen and Shen Runze hurried along without daring to rest all the way. Finally, they came to a place near the river and a flat grassland. They really couldn't walk anymore. They had only been in this alien world for two days. What they had experienced in these two days was more thrilling than what they had experienced in the past ten years. They were really tired. Fortunately, there was a moon and it didn't rain today, otherwise they would be even more miserable.

"Why don't we sleep by the river today? It's not cold in summer," Shen Runze asked Liu Wenwen for her opinion.

"Tomorrow morning, we will go to the mountains to look for herbs, take them to the pharmacy to buy them, and save some money to rent a house. We will have to work hard these two days." Shen Runze frowned and looked at Liu Wenwen. In the moonlight, Liu Wenwen's hair was messy, her little face was dirty, and her forehead was covered with sweat. Shen Runze smoothed Liu Wenwen's hair with a sad heart and wiped away the sweat.

Liu Wenwen nodded and looked at Shen Runze who was wiping the sweat off her face with complicated eyes. The child with a frown and chubby cheeks looked haggard because he had not eaten or slept well in the past two days. She felt a little distressed.

"It's okay, you still have me with you. If you came through by yourself, would you be scared to tears? Haha, coward," Liu Wenwen said with a laugh.

"No, you... forget it, you little brat, you don't understand anything," Shen Runze said hesitantly.

"That's right, that's right. Don't be afraid. I'll protect you. If I hadn't been clever and liked to listen to gossip today, we would have been sold out. From now on, you have to call me sister. Do you hear me?" Liu Wenwen patted Shen Runze's shoulder and turned to say. Shen Runze ignored her and let her talk to herself. Crying? Who cries more than her? Crybaby.

"However, it's not completely without benefits. Although the food and accommodation conditions are very poor, we can still see such beautiful scenery. In the past, such beautiful scenery would have required a fee. Unlike now, we can still live here. The sky is so beautiful. Look, look, the galaxy! There really is a galaxy! I have never seen it before." Liu Wenwen said as she pulled Shen Runze's sleeve and asked him to look up at the sky. Sure enough, a galaxy spanned across his head, with no end in sight. The stars were dotted and densely packed together like a long river of stars. On both sides of the wide galaxy was the dark sky dotted with a few scattered stars.

"Wow! So beautiful!" Liu Wenwen exclaimed. Seeing no one agreeing, she felt strange and turned to look at Shen Runze. He was putting all his bags aside and cutting some weeds nearby to make a bed. He was then cutting the weeds around the bed to keep out snakes, insects, rats and ants. This scared Liu Wenwen, who hurried over to help and piled the weeds aside.

Then he spread the bed sheet he had stolen from Aunt Liu's house on the clean pile of straw, smoothed out the wrinkles, and then took the two bundles and placed them as pillows.

They took out the flint from the bag, uh... neither of them knew how to use it, and they failed to make fire after several attempts. They thought, forget it, just use the steamed buns to fill their stomachs. After eating, Liu Wenwen ran to the river to take a bath, but was afraid because there were snakes in the water.

"I want to take a shower. I didn't take a shower yesterday. Today it's muddy and sweaty. It feels uncomfortable, but I'm afraid of snakes," Liu Wenwen said fearfully as he looked into the river again.

"Let me take a stick and hit the river surface. If there are snakes, they will hear it and run away." Shen Runze said as he went to the woods to find a long stick, hit the river surface with it, then looked into the river again, measured the water depth and said, "Go, I'll carry you on my back and lie on the straw bed." As he said that, he walked over to the straw bed and lay down.

Liu Wenwen quickly took off her clothes, rubbed her hair and face in the water, and after washing, she took off the long T-shirt she was wearing, rubbed it in her hands, and hung it on a tree, hoping that it would be dry the next day. While hanging her hair, she called Shen Runze to go wash it as well. Then she lay down, spread her hair flat, and went to sleep.
