Become a founding empress in ancient times with the system

Sheng Chang'an curled up as usual and observed her surroundings with her peripheral vision. There were only three or four thatched houses with some wild vegetables planted around them. However, there were also five or six children wearing altered clothes. These children were hiding in the corner and secretly watching her.

Soon the noise here attracted the people in the house, all of them were women. It seemed that some people had not returned yet.

Everyone made surprised noises, and the big man could only explain again. A thin man with a worried look on his face said, "We can't even support ourselves." It's already a problem with our own children, not to mention the saying that a young boy will bankrupt me. There's some truth to the saying.

The big man was also a little distressed, but he couldn't just leave it alone. "Since I brought the person back, then my family will take care of him."

The thin woman was a little embarrassed. "That's not what I meant. It's mainly because I have two children at home and I really can't support them."

The big man nodded and said, "I know. I don't have any other intentions. Let's wait for everyone to come back and see what we have to say. If there is no problem, I will raise him at home. We can't just abandon him in the mountains."

After these words were spoken, no one had any objections. After all, the child was really pitiful, and it was hard to bear to abandon him in the mountains. Of course, it would be best if someone was willing to raise him.

The woman at the beginning sighed, took out a bowl of wild vegetable soup from their dinner and brought it to Sheng Changan. "Drink it."

Looking at the bowl of wild vegetable soup, which had almost no wild vegetables in it, Sheng Changan felt inexplicably guilty. He pursed his lips and drank it all, as if it had no taste at all. Sheng Changan continued to lower his head, put the bowl on the ground, and curled up into a ball.

As it was getting dark, other people finally showed up, holding some wild vegetables in their hands. They had killed all the animals nearby, and now they could only dig up some wild vegetables.

Although they were a little surprised to see Sheng Changan, they had no objections after the explanation. After all, the child was not raised by their own family.

"It's almost impossible to find prey now. We have to find a way to move to another place," a big man said slowly while staring at the fire.

"What if this is discovered?" The man was obviously hesitant.

"If you don't look for us, you will starve to death." Everyone fell silent after hearing this. The world is so big, but there is nowhere they can go.

Sheng Changan didn't move, but just huddled back and continued to observe, until a woman came over and took her hand and said, "Come in with me."

Sheng Changan looked up at her, then lowered his head and followed her in obediently. As soon as he entered the room, he saw a woman who had tidied up a corner and spread some straw. "You can live here first."

Sheng Changan sat down. There were two beds in the room and some hay was placed on the ground. The conditions were extremely difficult, and even without food, these people were willing to take her in.

She spent the night on the grass and was tortured by the snoring. In the morning, Sheng Changan opened her eyes in a daze, and she didn't expect that the whole family snored, even the little one was not surprised.

A little boy about four or five years old came over and said, "Brother, we have to go find wild vegetables nearby." His mother had specifically told him early in the morning to take care of his brother, but she didn't expect him to sleep so well. He had been waiting for a long time.

Sheng Changan sighed silently. She had slept a little in the morning, but now she didn't have much time to rest. Next, she would ask from the side, "Have you had breakfast?"

The child licked his finger and said, "No, you can only eat at night. Brother, you must be obedient."

It was obvious that the child had copied what the adults had said to him. However, it also showed that they were indeed not doing well now, and they seemed to be honest at the moment. Sheng Changan walked out slowly. The adults were gone, leaving only a few children, most of whom were about five or six years old. Judging from their appearance, they had only been here for five or six years at most.

Soon a woman came over with a bucket of water in a wooden bucket from somewhere and said, "Xiao Qi, you're awake."

Xiao Qi? Who is it? Seeing the woman looking at him, Sheng Changan was a little confused. Could this Xiao Qi refer to her?

The woman smiled and said, "You are the seventh child to appear here, so we call you Xiaoqi, but if you have a name, we will call you by your name."

Sheng Changan lowered his eyes. "Yes, there is a name. It's Changan, Sheng Changan."

The woman's face became serious, but she quickly concealed it. "Chang'an! This name is nice." How could an ordinary child have such a name? He must have been sent here to spy on them. Thinking of this, the woman became a little panicked, but she didn't dare to leave. With the child still here, she could only hope that someone would come back soon.

Sheng Changan seemed not to notice her nervous expression and just walked around.

The woman became even more panicked, her hands were shaking. This child didn't look like an ordinary child at all. She quickly waved her hand and asked them to stay away from Sheng Changan and not to wander around.

The children drowsily agreed, feeling the vigilant gaze behind them. Sheng Changan paid no attention. These were all animal bones, and they looked like they had been there for a while. It seemed these people were indeed good citizens. And the fact that nothing had happened to him after a night had further confirmed this.

Since that was the case, Sheng Changan didn't plan to delay any more. He waved his hand and Shen Huaizhi jumped down from a tree. "What happened?" He didn't dare to close his eyes that night, for fear that something might happen.

"It's almost time. Let's go talk to them and see if they are willing to go with us." Sheng Changan looked over.

The woman had collapsed to the ground, protecting several children behind her. When she saw a young man falling from the sky, she was dumbfounded and trembling all over.

"I have no ill intentions. You can go find other people and come back. The children and I will be waiting for you here."

The woman widened her eyes and shook her head. She didn't believe it.

Sheng Changan sighed, "Then we can only wait. A day has already passed, so it doesn't matter if we wait another day."

Shen Huaizhi looked at the still trembling woman. "She probably thought you were trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain and eat the child. Aren't you going to explain?"

Sheng Changan also guessed that this level would always have to be overcome. "Forget it, let's just wait until everyone arrives. Can you make a fire?" She was really not good at this.

Shen Huaizhi didn't say anything. He found some branches and lit them with flint. "What are you going to do?"

"I'm hungry," Sheng Changan said in a flat tone. He took out a few sweet potatoes from his arms. After taking out a few, he took out a few more.

This time, Shen Huaizhi's expression changed. What did he mean? Was he dazzled? He counted again. Fifteen sweet potatoes. How could it be possible? She couldn't possibly carry so many on her body.

"Do you want to ask something?" Sheng Changan asked with a smile.
