Not long after the old lady left, two children came and stood outside the gate of the house where Song Yao lived. They didn't say anything, just stood there watching.

When Huaying saw this, she said to Song Yao, "Miss, there are two children there."

Song Yao looked in the direction Huaying pointed, and saw a girl and a boy standing outside the courtyard gate. Judging from their ages, they were probably only six or seven years old.

They were each wearing a gray and indigo garment, but each of their clothes had several patches on them.

Their faces were dirty, and the girl's hair was a mess.

That would be fine, but they are probably cold. The blood in their noses has already reached their philtrum and the color is a little yellow. They must have caught a cold.

Song Yao walked towards the courtyard gate, and as soon as she came over, the two children ran away.

There was a big willow tree in front of them, so the two of them ran and hid behind the willow tree.

Song Yao walked over.

The two of them continued to hide.

It seems that he is very afraid of strangers.

Song Yao looked at Hua Ying who had followed and said, "Go get two cakes."

"Yes!" Huaying bowed and immediately went back to the house to get two pancakes.

Huaying walked to Song Yao and handed the fried dough stick in her hand to her.

She passed the fried dough cakes over to the two children hiding near the willow tree. "Don't be afraid of me. I'm not a bad person. Here, these fried dough cakes. You must be starving, right? Come, I'll give them to you. If it's not enough, I have more. I guarantee you'll have enough."

When the two children saw the fried dough sticks, their eyes immediately lit up.

The little girl couldn't bear it and was about to go to Song Yao directly, but before she took two steps, she was grabbed by the little boy.

He looked at the little girl and said, "Sister, don't go over there. She might be a bad person. Mom said we can't just ask for other people's things. They are strangers. If they give things to her, they must be bad people."

"Uh." Song Yao was speechless by the little boy's remarks. She said patiently, "First of all, we are not bad people. Secondly, even if we were bad people, there is nothing in your village that we can steal, right?"

The little boy was choked by Song Yao's words. He moved his little head and thought for a while before saying, "My mother said that strangers would steal children. Although there are no good things in our village, we are here. You must be here to steal from us, otherwise you wouldn't be so kind to give us food."

When Huaying heard this, she was so angry that she snorted, "Hey, you little brat, how can you talk like that? It's a joke. Stealing you? You're so dirty and so small, why would I steal you? Stealing you to eat?"

When the little boy heard that they were going to be eaten, he was terrified and pulled his sister and ran away.

The little girl was very hungry and didn't want to run. She wanted to eat the fried cake that Song Yao handed to her.

He grabbed the little boy and said, "Brother, I'm hungry. I want to eat some bread. Brother, can we not run away? That sister is not a bad person. She is a good person..."

The little boy said angrily, "What's good about that? She must have put medicine in the pancakes. If we eat them, she'll do us harm. Mom said we can't eat things given by strangers. Have you forgotten?"

"But I'm so hungry." The little girl cried aggrievedly.

Song Yao pinched her brows and looked at the little boy impatiently, "Go find your mother and ask her to come see me."

She is now in the late stage of pregnancy. Her belly is big and bloated, which makes her very uncomfortable. Moreover, her waist hurts. She really does not have the energy to argue with them anymore.

"Huaying, let's go." Song Yao glanced at Huaying and left.

Huaying followed closely and said, "Miss, I never thought these two brats were so cunning. They even said we were bad people. What a joke! If we were bad people, they would have been gone long ago."

Song Yao pursed her lips and smiled, "Their mother is quite a smart person. In today's world, people eat each other. If her children were not smart, they would have been captured and eaten long ago. So, these two children are quite smart and clever."

Huaying rolled her eyes. "What's so clever about that? They're just stubborn. Seriously, even after I told them we weren't bad people, they still didn't believe me."

"That's a child, not an adult." Song Yao walked into the room and sat down, reaching her hands behind her and rubbing her lower back.

Oh my God! She really felt her waist hurt so much. It was okay if she didn't stand or walk, but if she stood or walked, her waist really felt like it was going to be broken by someone.

Seeing that her waist was in pain, Huaying said, "Miss, I'll go find Song Dongdong's mother and the young mistress. They both know how to massage. I'll let them massage you, and then you won't feel any pain."

"No need. They must be cleaning the house. There's no need for them to come. I can do it myself." Song Yao really wanted to give birth to these two children as soon as possible. That way, she wouldn't have to work so hard. If anything happened in the camp, she could still handle it on her own.

But now, she can't do anything except eating and sleeping, like a waste.

Fortunately, there were many people accompanying her and she also had family, otherwise, she really didn’t know what to do.

"Okay then." Huaying said, "Miss, please sit down for a while. I'll go clean up."

"Go ahead." Song Yao didn't look at Huaying and continued to press on his lower back.

As the sky darkened, Huaying's voice rang out from the courtyard, "Miss, a woman has arrived, and she has brought the two children from the daytime."

Song Yao was lying in bed resting. When she heard Huaying's words, she tried to get up.

But my belly is too big and my waist hurts, so I really can’t get up.

Song Yao had no choice but to call Huaying for help.

After Huaying helped Song Yao up, she helped her out to the yard.

There is no moon tonight, and the yard is hazy. Also, the temperature has dropped again, so the temperature is even lower after dark.

Especially the bleak cold wind blowing on my body made me shiver with cold, and my face was soon frozen by the cold wind.

There were three people standing in the yard.

I saw the woman in coarse linen clothes standing not far away with her two children. It was cold, and the three of them were shivering.

Song Yao didn't move forward. She looked at the woman and said, "Sister, let's talk inside. It's very cold outside."

"Okay!" The woman nodded and took the child into the house.

There was a charcoal fire burning in the house. After the woman came in, she brought her two children over to warm herself by the fire.

Song Yao sat on the bench next to the table. She looked at the woman and said, "Sister, are you here to see me for something?"

The woman's name was Lu Yun. After hearing what Song Yao said, she looked at her and knelt on the ground. "Miss, the three of us, mother and children, are really suffering from hunger and cold. We haven't eaten for a long time. Miss, please give us something to eat."

It was her son who told her that Song Yao had food and asked her to go find Song Yao. So Lu Yun brought them to find Song Yao.

Song Yao asked Huaying to get a basket of cakes and hand it to Lu Yun.

"Ah, thank you, young lady, thank you, young lady!" Lu Yun said with tears of gratitude. After Song Yao asked her to stand up, she stood up.

Lu Yun took the fried pancake handed to her by Huaying, handed one to the child first, and then she took the fried pancake and started eating it.
