Eavesdropping on Fu Bao's inner thoughts, emptying the stored grain and fleeing the famine

Since arriving in Dasheng, despite fleeing famine and encountering dangers along the way, Lian Rongrong has never faced a truly desperate situation.

For Lian Rongrong, having the spatial ring in hand is like watching everything happening around her from a god-like perspective.

No matter how great the danger or predicament, Lian Rongrong is always confident.

But now, the amber ring is gone, and Rongle Supermarket no longer exists. Faced with this situation of having neither water nor food, even Rongrong doesn't know how much longer she can hold on.

But at this moment, Lian Rongrong still held onto one belief: as long as the ring was still in Lian Xiuyan's hands, she would be able to get it back sooner or later.

Although she cannot disobey her grandmother for the sake of unity and safety, if it really comes to a last resort, she will force Lian Xiuyan to hand over the ring, even if it means using extreme measures.

Lian Rongrong had no idea that her one wrong judgment would cause so many people to lose their lives here!

The group entered the jungle, where the towering ancient trees were much taller than the trees in the Towering Formation.

The images of the assassins' gruesome deaths still lingered in everyone's minds, so much so that as they moved through the forest, everyone was on edge, fearing danger from every bush and tree.

Lian Yijun walked at the front, followed closely by Lian Rongrong and Lin Chuyue, with a few of the bolder guards bringing up the rear.

The group continued walking forward, but after two hours they still couldn't see the end of the jungle.

"Big brother, it seems like we've been here before?" Lian Rongrong said, frowning as she looked at a crooked tree beside her.

Lian Yijun looked around and vaguely felt that this place was very familiar. In such a complicated environment, the worst thing is to get lost.

Once you go the wrong way, it will be difficult to get out.

Despite his worries, Lian Yijun's years of military experience kept him calm.

Lian Rongrong drew her long sword from her waist, drew a mark on the tree next to her, and then said to the crowd:

"Let's make marks along the way."

Everyone nodded and continued walking with Lian Yijun.

Another hour passed, and everyone returned to the distant point. This time, they were certain that they were indeed lost.

It seems we can never escape this jungle, no matter how much we wander around.

"Are we trapped in a maze?" Chen Si asked nervously, sword in hand, looking around.

“I’ve heard of being trapped in a maze of ghosts back in my hometown. If we actually encounter that, it’ll be a real problem.” Another guard also started to get nervous upon hearing this.

The already oppressive atmosphere became even more unbearable under this unknown fear.

Lian Yijun was skilled in leading troops, and he certainly understood that the greatest danger was the disarray of the people's hearts. He frowned, walked to the center of the crowd, and shouted loudly:

"Listen to me, everyone, there is no such thing as being trapped in a maze! I often encounter this situation when I am on marches."

Just by looking at the trees here, one can tell that this forest is ancient and the terrain is complex. In addition, these ancient trees may have formed some kind of formation without us even realizing it.

But it doesn't matter. We've been walking for three hours and we're still safe and sound.

So it's only a matter of time before it gets out; there's no need to panic! The more we face situations like this, the calmer we need to remain!

Lian Yijun's words of comfort did have a certain calming effect, but the fear in people's hearts could not be completely eliminated.

Lian Rongrong thought to herself: If I can get the ring back, I can retrieve the compass from my spatial storage. Then I won't be in such a passive position anymore.

Lian Rongrong glanced at Lian Xiuyan, who was always by her grandmother's side, and felt a burning hatred in her teeth.

But in order to get the ring back, Lian Rongrong could only suppress her anger and slowly walk up to Lian Xiuyan.

"Aunt, please give me back the ring. It's useless to you, but with me, it can save everyone's lives!"

Lian Xiuyan was slightly taken aback. She had never seen Lian Rongrong like this before, or rather, she had never seen her like this since Lian Rongrong was dismissed and sent home.

However, it was precisely because of this that even Xiuyan became more certain that the amber ring was indeed unusual.

While plotting how to get the ring back from Wen Hui, Lian Xiuyan said sarcastically to Lian Rongrong:

"You're my own niece, that's why I'm willing to give you a good talking-to. I'm not trying to be mean, but how can you falsely accuse your elders without any evidence?"

Furthermore, even if that thing weren't with me, what do you mean it's useless to me and can only save everyone's lives if it's with you?

Are you implying that your aunt is far inferior to you? Young man, sometimes you shouldn't be so arrogant!

Lian Rongrong was already furious, and Lian Xiuyan's mockery only fueled her anger. Just as she was about to explode, the old lady spoke up:

"Alright, we can talk about the ring later. Let's think about how to get out of here first!"

Wen Hui had been keeping an eye on Lian Rongrong's movements. She had seen Lian Rongrong disappear into the ring and then reappear from it.

Therefore, Wen Hui believed Lian Rongrong's words, but the more she believed them, the less likely she was to return the ring to Lian Rongrong.

Because Wen Hui felt that she was no less capable than Lian Rongrong, and the reason why Lian Rongrong could be so arrogant and domineering was simply because of this magical ring.

Although she hasn't figured out how to use the ring yet, she has no way of returning it to Lian Rongrong.

Firstly, they had finally gotten the ring, and now that the idiot Lian Xiuyan was taking the blame, if it were exposed now, they might never have another chance.

Secondly, Wenhui arrogantly believed that given time, she would surely figure out how to use this thing for her own purposes with her intelligence.

Wen Hui touched the necklace pendant on her chest; ever since she got the ring, she had hidden it inside the pendant.

Speaking of which, this necklace was a gift from Lian Rongrong's mother to her during her wedding. Using Lian Rongrong's mother's things to hide Lian Rongrong's treasures was truly the most appropriate thing to do.

The matter of the ring was once again left unresolved. Unable to retrieve the compass, Lian Rongrong could only continue to try to find a solution with her elder brother and sister-in-law.

At that moment, Fu Bao, whose eyes had been darting around, suddenly spoke.

[Mother, go to the right!]

At that moment, Fu Bao's soft and cute voice was like heavenly music. Lian Rongrong and Lin Chuyue smiled at each other, and then they led everyone to the right with Lian Yijun.

[Mother, to the left front!]

[Mother, take ten steps to the right, then turn left!]

Fu Bao's voice came from time to time, and following the little guy's directions, the group finally stopped going around in circles.

"My good son, are you even more useful than a compass?"

After being praised by her mother, Fu Bao perked up even more. Although the little guy didn't know what a compass was, he figured it must be something very, very powerful!

After escaping the predicament, everyone relaxed.

However, as everyone knows, they had only just passed through the deepest part of the jungle.

Although the trees in front of us were not as thick as before, they still stretched as far as the eye could see.

As evening fell, everyone sat exhausted against the trees.

The incident happened suddenly, and no one had brought any food with them when they fled for their lives. They went without food and drink for almost a day, and everyone felt extremely hungry.

Little Fu Bao was so hungry that she was drowsy.

However, as if things weren't going to go wrong, a heavy rain started falling in the woods just as it was getting dark.
