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

Chapter 461 Nightmare

farm.

Zhao Yan suddenly opened her eyes in the darkness, her heart pounding wildly.

She had a dream in which Yang Sanlang was eaten by a ferocious wolf.

Recalling the bloody scene in her dream, Zhao Yan could no longer fall asleep. She quietly got out of bed, put on her clothes, and watched Zhao Xiaomi and the other two sleep from the edge of the bed.

She has a strong will and rarely has nightmares.

But the horrific scene in her dream felt so real, it would be a lie to say she wasn't scared.

Perhaps, Sanlang really did encounter some danger.

Only a dim candlelight remained in the room. Zhao Yan sat quietly on the edge of the bed, and the look in her eyes as she looked at Zhao Xiaomi and her two siblings subtly changed.

Although she had said she wouldn't interfere in some things anymore, at this point, she had no choice.

Zhao Yan thought about it all night by the bedside. After dawn, she brought Zhao Xiaomi and her two siblings to Yuan Yutang.

While eating breakfast, she told Yuan Yutang and Su Yanzhi about her intentions.

“Uncle Yuan, Master, I’m worried that Sanlang and the others might encounter some danger in the North, so I want to go there to check on them.”

"I'd like to entrust the care of Xiaomi and the other two to you for a while."

“Uncle Yuan, Master, to be honest, I had a nightmare last night and didn’t sleep at all. I couldn’t sleep because I was afraid that something might have really happened to Sanlang…”

Yuan Yutang and Su Yanzhi both expressed their understanding after hearing this.

Yuan Yutang pulled the three siblings, Xiao Fubao and Xiao Funiu, into his arms and said to Zhao Yan with a smile, "Go if you want to. Your master and I are not so old that we can't even keep an eye on a little kid. Besides, there are so many people in the family. We won't let anything happen to the three of them."

“Your Uncle Yuan is right.”

Su Yanzhi continued, "Not only are you having nightmares, but my eyelids have been twitching these past two days too. If you ask me, you stay here, and I'll go to the North to check on Sanlang and the others."

Zhao Yan's eyes flickered slightly, and she shook her head firmly, saying, "Master, I'll go. I don't trust any of you to go."

The North would be the perfect place for her.

She has an awesome system, so she'll never put herself in danger.

Yuan Yutang, realizing something, patted Su Yanzhi on the shoulder twice and advised, "Forget it, we're both old and can't run fast anymore. Let Yan'er go to the North. Don't try to be brave here."

He didn't say it aloud, but he had more or less guessed what was going on.

However, he couldn't say what secrets Zhao Yan held.

But he instinctively felt that Yan Yatou wouldn't be in any danger traveling alone.

Su Yanzhi originally wanted to persuade Zhao Yan again to let him go this time, but seeing that Yuan Yutang kept giving him meaningful glances, he remained silent and gave up the idea.

So he could only tell Zhao Yan, "Okay, go if you want to, but be careful on the way."

Zhao Yan nodded solemnly to them, "Yes, I understand."

Zhao Xiaomi and her two siblings had been teary-eyed ever since they heard that Zhao Yan was going to the North. Now that they saw that they had finally finished talking, the three siblings could no longer hold back and rushed into Zhao Yan's arms, crying "Waaah!"

Zhao Xiaomi hugged Zhao Yan's leg and cried her heart out.

"Mom, are you running away from home too? Waaah, I'm scared."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yan was both amused and exasperated.

“What do you mean by running away from home? Mother is just going to the north to find your father. Once we find him, we’ll come back.”

She affectionately patted the three little ones' heads and coaxed them, "You three are good. Listen to Grandpa Yuan and Grandpa Su at home, and also listen to Uncle Chen and Aunt Tian. Be good and wait for Dad and Mom to come back, okay?"

Little Fu Niu was crying so hard she could barely breathe.

"Mother...I...I don't want you to leave. If you have to go...take me with you..."

Little Fu Bao chimed in, "Let's go together, let's go together..."

Wuwuwu——

They don't want to be separated from their mother!

Zhao Yan patiently touched this one and comforted that one. After about fifteen minutes, she finally managed to calm the three of them down and stop them from crying.

Zhao Yan hugged the three siblings tightly and whispered to them, "Be good, and Mom will save you a bunch of delicious food, okay? As long as you promise Mom you won't cause trouble, you can eat delicious food every day. How about that? Isn't that good?"

Zhao Xiaomi, taking advantage of the situation, said, "While Mother is away from home, I won't go to the school across the street. If Mother agrees, I'll agree and won't make a fuss."

Yo ho.

They've even learned to haggle?

Zhao Yan narrowed her eyes, thought for a moment, and nodded in agreement, being very easy to talk to.

"Okay, sure, you don't have to go to the school across the street, but you have to study at home with your grandfather Yuan, is that alright?"

Zhao Xiaomi blinked and finally said, "Okay, I'll do as Mother says."

As for the remaining little Fu Niu and little Fu Bao, they were already completely captivated by the delicious food Zhao Yan promised, and they couldn't possibly remember to cry.

After comforting the three siblings, Zhao Yan got up and said goodbye to Yuan Yutang and Su Yan.

"Uncle Yuan, Master, I'm taking the three of them to Sister Tian's place first. I'll bring them back when I leave."

Yuan Yutang and Su Yanzhi hurriedly waved to her.

"go Go."

As soon as Zhao Yan led her three siblings out of Yuan Yutang's place, the three of them started clamoring for something delicious to eat.

Zhao Yan looked around and quietly gave everyone a piece of chocolate.

"Eat quickly, don't let anyone see."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiaomi and her two siblings quickly lowered their heads to eat, looking like three little hamsters stealing food.

After they finished eating the chocolate, Zhao Yan led them to Tian Xiu'e's house and told them, "I'll leave the things with your sister Jiaojiao. If you want to eat them again, just tell your sister Jiaojiao, okay?"

Zhao Xiaomi and her two siblings quickly nodded and said, "Yes, yes, we understand, Mom."

Zhao Yan then instructed, "After you finish eating, give the trash to your sister Jiaojiao first. Don't talk about it outside. If other people find out, you won't be able to eat anything good anymore. Keep your mouths shut."

Zhao Xiaomi and her two siblings nodded with bright, sparkling eyes.

"Mmm, I understand."

My mother said that these wonderful things were all given to us by the fairy sisters in heaven, and they certainly couldn't go out and talk about such good things.

In order to be able to eat such delicious food again in the future, Zhao Xiaomi secretly told herself that she would definitely keep an eye on Xiao Fu Niu and Xiao Fu Bao and make sure they didn't go out and talk nonsense.

Zhao Yan brought her three siblings to Tian Xiu'e's place and told them about her plan to go to the north to find Yang Sanlang.

Upon hearing this, Tian Xiu'e's heart tightened immediately.

“Yan’er, why don’t you let your brother Chen An go to the North with you? It would be good for the two of you to look after each other. I’m not at ease letting you go to such a far place by yourself.”

Before Chen An could speak, Zhao Yan quickly said to the couple, "No, Brother Chen An has to stay at the farm to take care of you and Gou Dan. Besides, there are still several acres of sweet potatoes on the back mountain. Brother Chen An will have to harvest the sweet potatoes then. He has a lot of things to do at home. He can't leave."
