Armed with a machete and a gun, armed with a system, they fled the famine.

With Yang Xiaomi in her left arm and a cleaver dragging in her right hand, Zhao Yan walked out of the Yang family's gate with a menacing expression.

The machete in her hand was the one she usually used to chop firewood in the mountains.

The blade was as long as an adult's arm, with a thick back and a sharp, gleaming edge honed by Yang Dalang. Under the sunlight, the blade emitted a dazzling light.

Zhao Yan dragged herself along the way, which really exhausted her.

When passersby saw her proud and arrogant appearance, they were so frightened that they quickly pulled their heads back and hurriedly closed their doors.

Liu Guifang, however, was not afraid.

From a distance, she shouted at Zhao Yan, "Sanlang's wife, you can just scare Yang Zhangshi with the knife, but don't do anything foolish! Think about your Xiao Mi!"

No matter what, Yang Zhangshi was Zhao Yan's mother-in-law and Yang Xiaomi's adoptive grandmother. Zhao Yan dared not actually kill her, as that would mean going to jail.

Zhao Yan was surprised that there were still people here siding with the original owner of this foolish body. She paused for a moment, then nodded to Liu Guifang and gave her a gentle smile.

"Ah! Murder! Murder! Everyone come quick! The daughter-in-law is trying to kill her mother-in-law!"

Yang Zhangshi's shrill voice still echoed in the village.

Remembering the purpose of her actions, Zhao Yan picked up her daughter and headed into the mountains.

As for the commotion caused by Yang Zhangshi, she had no time to argue with her.

After she and her daughter had completely disappeared at the foot of the mountain, Liu Guifang slapped her forehead and came to her senses.

What a hell.

She felt that Sanlang's wife had suddenly stopped being stupid.

……

Zhao Yan carried Yang Xiaomi and hurried along until they reached the depths of the forest. She then gently put Yang Xiaomi down and collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

Oh my god.

She was exhausted.

The original owner's physical fitness was far inferior to her modern body, so it seems she will need to add another physical training exercise in the future.

Yang Xiaomi blinked her big eyes and obediently patted her back from behind.

"Mom, let me pat you, patting you will make you feel less tired."

She is only four years old this year, but she has already been ordered around by Yang Zhangshi to do this and that.

After learning that her mother had found her on the mountain, she worked even harder, fearing that Yang Zhangshi might sell her if she became unhappy.

She remembered that when she was tired from work, her mother would hold her and gently pat her back, just like she does now.

Zhao Yan suddenly felt a wave of tenderness wash over her.

Xiaomi is such a sensible child; no wonder the original owner risked her life to protect the daughter she picked up.

She pulled Yang Xiaomi in front of her and gently pinched her little cheek.

"Xiao Mi is so good. Mom is fine. I just need to rest for a while."

She patted the spot next to her, "Come on, Xiaomi, sit down and rest for a while."

"Ah."

Yang Xiaomi happily sat down next to Zhao Yan.

That's great, she can be with her mother again.

After calming down, a wave of hunger surged through my body.

Zhao Yan glanced down at Yang Xiaomi, then suddenly extended her right hand towards her.

"mother?"

Yang Xiaomi looked up in surprise at the thing that had suddenly appeared in Zhao Yan's hand.

What is this?

It looks pretty good.

Zhao Yan calmly tore open the chocolate wrapper, and under Yang Xiaomi's utterly shocked gaze, she calmly took a bite of the chocolate.

Um--

That's it!

Silky smooth and sweet.

good to eat!

She broke off a piece of chocolate and fed it directly to Yang Xiaomi's mouth.

"Xiaomi, do you want to try some? It's delicious, very sweet."

According to the original owner's memories, Yang Xiaomi hadn't eaten much good food since she was taken in.

When she was first taken in, she was only two or three months old, thin and small, and her cries were as weak as a kitten's. Zhao Yan saved her own food and fed her little by little until she grew up.

All the food in the Yang family was locked in a cabinet in Yang Zhangshi's room. The cabinet was locked, so no one could steal any food.

When it was time to cook, Yang Zhangshi would take out the food from the cupboard and then lock the cupboard door.

This is also why Zhao Yan suddenly wanted to take Yang Xiaomi up the mountain.

Finding food at home and having to get the cabinet key from Yang Zhangshi is too much trouble.

Now that she has the perk of time travel, why bother with all that effort? Why not just find a secluded spot and start eating?

"Xiaomi, don't be afraid. This is a treasure I got from the fairy sister. Eat it and you can have whatever you want."

Yang Xiaomi blinked her eyes.

"Mother, really? I want to be with you forever."

Zhao Yan smiled gently and nodded firmly at Yang Xiaomi.

"Really, if I'm lying to you, I'm a dog."

“Mom isn’t a puppy, she’s Xiaomi’s mom.”

Yang Xiaomi suddenly threw herself into Zhao Yan's arms and hugged her affectionately.

Zhao Yan gently patted Yang Xiaomi's thin body, her tone softening considerably.

"Alright, alright, Xiaomi, eat the chocolate quickly, and then Mommy won't be a puppy anymore."

Yang Xiaomi stopped acting cute and looked at Zhao Yan with a surprised and delighted expression.

"Mother, are you not stupid anymore?"

Although she was only four years old, her mother had never spoken to her in this tone before, and her mother rarely spoke, only replying with a simple "hmm" or shaking her head.

My mother said a lot today; it was quite unusual.

Zhao Yan was surprised by Yang Xiaomi's keen insight. She paused for a moment, then said even more gently, "Yes, Mother is not stupid anymore."

"When Mom hit her head, she suddenly became normal again. Also, Mom had a dream about a powerful fairy sister who was kind-hearted and gave Mom lots of food. This chocolate was a gift from her."

"Xiao Mi, you must keep these two things a secret for your mother. Don't tell anyone."

Yang Xiaomi understood Zhao Yan's words and firmly believed that her mother had met a kind-hearted fairy sister.

"Mom, I'll eat it. Anything the fairy sister sent must be delicious."

"Come on, open your mouth."

Yang Xiaomi obediently opened her little mouth, and Zhao Yan took the opportunity to put the brown chocolate into her mouth.

Just then, a mechanical voice suddenly rang in her mind—

[Ding! One hundred more servings of Dejia Creamy Silky Chocolate have been added!]
