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

Zhao Yan hadn't expected this from him, and felt ashamed as she said, "Sir, thank you for your kindness, I will."

She understands the principle of not flaunting one's wealth.

The world is in disarray now, and people's hearts are restless.

She will definitely become more careful and cautious in what she does.

……

the other side.

Zhao Yan suddenly shoved a tattered cloth bag into Tian Xiu'e's arms.

Zhao Yan moved too quickly; by the time she reached out to stop her, Zhao Yan had already strode away.

She touched the bag with her hand, feeling its warmth, and smelled the rich aroma of food.

Driven by curiosity, she couldn't resist opening a corner of the tattered bag.

"ah!"

Upon suddenly seeing what was inside, she exclaimed in surprise, hurriedly stuffed the tattered bag into her bosom, and pulled Yang Xiaomi along as they headed home.

"Xiaomi, come in with me."

Although Yang Xiaomi was reluctant, she obediently followed Tian Xiu'e into the house.

Tian Xiu'e pulled Yang Xiaomi back to the room on the west side of the main hall in silence.

This is the only bedroom in this thatched hut.

She made Yang Xiaomi sit on the edge of the bed, glanced down at the tattered cloth bag in her arms, and then looked up at Yang Xiaomi.

"Xiao Mi, tell Aunt Tian, ​​where did your mother get all this food?"

She could see clearly that there were five large white steamed buns with meat inside the tattered bag.

Just smelling the aroma of meat emanating from the bag, she subconsciously swallowed.

So delicious.

These days, having a piece of dark flour bun to eat is a blessing from heaven. Zhao Yan suddenly stuffed five large white flour meat buns into her mouth, which made her think a lot.

Yang Xiaomi blinked her big eyes and said confidently, "It's the fairy sister. The fairy sister is so good to me and my mother. She gave us lots of delicious food."

Fairy sister?

Could it be that the gods in heaven have appeared to help us?

Tian Xiu'e's mind went blank for a moment, and the next second, she was certain of her guess.

Correct.

It must be a divine intervention.

When Zhao Yan married Yang Sanlang, she was mentally challenged. If it weren't for divine intervention, she wouldn't have suddenly become mentally sound.

Since it's something bestowed by the gods, then... it should be edible, right?

At this moment, Chen Qingjiao finished cooking and came over to call for people.

"Mom, the wild vegetable porridge is ready."

Tian Xiue responded, looking at her daughter who was already twelve years old but had the body of a ten-year-old. She gritted her teeth, opened the tattered cloth bag, took out a large white meat bun, and forcefully stuffed it into her daughter's hand.

"Jiaojiao, don't ask anything, just eat."

Chen Qingjiao's eyes widened in surprise as she stared at the large meat bun in her hand.

She was about to ask where the bun came from, but then she remembered that her mother told her not to talk too much, so she quickly closed her open mouth again, holding the greasy, fragrant meat bun, not knowing where to start eating.

Tian Xiu'e took out a large meat bun from the tattered cloth bag and stuffed it into Yang Xiaomi's arms.

"Xiaomi, you eat some too."

Before Yang Xiaomi arrived, Zhao Yan had already fed her well and made her full.

Holding the large meat bun, she couldn't eat anymore.

"Aunt Tian, ​​I've already eaten at home, I'm not hungry. You and Sister Jiaojiao, please eat."

"Aren't you hungry?"

"Hmm, not hungry."

Tian Xiu'e took the steamed bun that Yang Xiaomi handed back, glanced at her daughter, and took a bite of the big meat bun.

Um--

These big meat buns smell amazing!

Zhao Yan, far away in Baima Town, suddenly heard two crisp mechanical sounds.

[Ding! One hundred more pork and soy sauce buns have been added!]

[Ding! One hundred more pork and soy sauce buns have been added!]

Looking at the two hundred more large meat buns that had appeared in her space, she felt increasingly relaxed.

that's nice!

It's not just Xiaomi who gained a hundredfold increase after eating the food in her space; others can achieve the same effect!

She waited until she and Xiaomi escaped from the evil Yang Zhangshi family.

With food and drink available, what is she afraid of!

……

After bidding farewell to Yuan Yutang, Zhao Yan continued to walk through the wide streets with her basket on her back.

After making sure no one was following her, she spotted a blacksmith shop at the end of the street and quickly ran towards it.

"Hey bro, do you sell knives here?"

The man, who was busy working by the stove, turned his head in surprise when he heard the woman's voice.

With a face full of fleshy muscles and bulging eyes, he looked exceptionally frightening.

"You want to buy a knife? What kind of knife do you want?"

No wonder he was surprised.

Usually, it's men who come to him to buy knives; this is the first time he's encountered a woman buying knives.

Zhao Yan was not afraid at all, nor was she annoyed by the man's contempt.

She gestured with her hand and explained to the man, "I want to buy a knife that's like a dagger, not too long or too short, about this long."

She originally wanted a man to forge a Kurkha knife for her, as it was the most mechanics-compliant and extremely powerful weapon.

But then she realized that the knife was too big and she would have to wait, so she simply asked the shop if they had a knife that met her requirements.

The man stopped what he was doing, thought for a moment, and pulled out a dusty, broken knife from the corner behind him.

"Here, this is all that's left. See if it meets your requirements?"

Zhao Yan examined the knife, which was slightly longer than her palm, from side to side.

The length is suitable.

The blade is fairly sharp.

That's it.

"Hey bro, how much is this?"

She bought the knife for no other purpose than self-defense.

After thinking for a moment, the man said, "I won't ask you for more. Just give me the money for the materials. This knife is worth five taels of silver."

hiss--

He asked her for five taels of silver with a broken knife.

Were iron artifacts from ancient times so expensive?

Zhao Yan felt a pang of heartache, but seeing that the man didn't seem to be lying to her, she decisively took out her silver to pay.

Whether you buy it early or late, you'll have to buy it eventually.

She wasn't going to waste her emotions and time on this.

"Come to me if you need anything, I can customize knives."

Clutching the genuine five taels of silver, the man's face revealed a rare gentle smile.

A face full of fat, paired with a constant smile...

what--

Zhao Yan felt a chill run down her spine and hurriedly left with the knife in her hand.

forget it.

Once she has money, she'll go check out the system's in-game store.

She kept the money for emergencies.

After leaving the blacksmith shop, Zhao Yan saw a grain and goods store.

Thinking of Tian Xiu'e and her daughter, who had taken good care of her and Xiaomi, she stepped inside.

After wandering around the grain store, Zhao Yan discovered that most people nowadays ate millet, sorghum, soybeans, and rice, as well as a small amount of wheat and various other grains ground into dark flour.

Because of their low yield per acre, rice and wheat are much more expensive than other crops, and ordinary people generally cannot afford to buy them.

The most frequently purchased items are millet, soybeans, and relatively inexpensive black flour.

After a moment's thought, Zhao Yan bought thirty catties of black flour in one go.

She's not in a hurry to buy millet, wheat, and rice.

Anyway, she has plenty of space, she can take it out when she gets home.

Before leaving, she bought two more pounds of brown sugar and five pounds of salt.

One pound of dark flour costs six coins, one pound of brown sugar costs twenty coins, and one pound of salt costs twelve coins.

The three items together cost a total of 280 coins.

Zhao Yan paid the money, put all the things into the basket on her back, covered them with some things, and then carried them away.

As soon as she left the grain shop, she murmured something, and the contents of her basket vanished without a trace.

They're all piled up in that one cubic meter space.

With a light basket on her back, Zhao Yan walked out of Baima Town in a cheerful mood.

Half an hour later, she returned to the entrance of Chenjiagou Village, where Tian Xiue ran towards her anxiously.

"Yan'er, hurry, hurry and chase after Yang Erlang! He... he kidnapped Xiao Mi!"
