Parents are busy farming

However, when she saw the benches that were missing a leg, a look of embarrassment appeared on her face. She felt very embarrassed and said timidly, "These benches are a little shaky. Please make do with them!" After that, she turned and went into the kitchen.

After a while, Ye Zifen came out of the kitchen with three bowls of hot porridge in her hands and placed them on the table. She also placed the plate of pickles in the middle of the table and said softly, "Please enjoy your meal." Then she went to get another two bowls of porridge.

After the three of them finished eating, Ye Zifen did not stay in the house, but went to clean up the kitchen. When she returned to the house, only the bottom of the bowl was left in the three people's bowls.

One of them said gently, "Girl, your side dishes taste really good, and they go well with rice without being too salty or bitter. Do you have any left? Would you mind selling some to us?"

Ye Zifen said apologetically, "It's dry now, and the fields have no produce. These pickles are what's left from last year. I just... just took them all out. You gave me too much money, so..."

The three of them felt a little embarrassed after hearing what Ye Zifen said. One of them said, "Thank you for your hospitality. The money is yours now. Don't be embarrassed. We'll leave after we finish eating."

After saying this, the three of them drank the porridge in their bowls without hesitation, then stood up and walked out quickly.

Ye Zifen hurriedly followed them and sent them out of the yard. After the three people walked away, she slowly closed the gate.

At this time, Ye Ziwei led a group of people out of the house.

She said with a smile: "Fortunately, we parked the carriage in a valley three miles away from the village. Otherwise, once we brought it into the village, it would definitely cause unnecessary trouble."

Ye Zifen agreed, "This place is not far from Fang Huzi's home. If I wasn't afraid of getting him into trouble, I would really like to go over and see how he is doing. But fortunately, these people are not coming for us, so we can leave with peace of mind tomorrow."

Ye Ziwei said worriedly, "I really don't know what's going on with Fang Huzi. He has been making a living by growing fruit trees. With such a severe drought now, I'm afraid his fruit trees will have a hard time surviving, right?"

Ye Zifen comforted him, "Don't worry too much about him. If he really can't make a living, he will seek help from the caravan and go to Zhou Dalin to seek refuge. Since there is no news at the moment, it means that he should be able to make ends meet."

At this point, Ye Zifen couldn't help but frown, as if she was thinking of something troubling.

Ye Zifen looked at Ye Ziwei solemnly and warned her seriously, "In the future, if no one asks you for help, don't help others casually. Do you understand?"

Although Ye Ziwei was a little confused, she still nodded seriously to show that she understood.

Then, she added, "I know now. I won't give things to others easily anymore."

Ye Zifen nodded in satisfaction, then turned to look at the others and said firmly, "Let's spend the night in this house. Everyone, eat some dry food and make do with it. It's more comfortable here than living in a tent outside. As usual, you just need to have a good rest."

After hearing Ye Zifen's arrangement, everyone took out dry food from their packages and started eating.

The pancake has a light salty taste and tastes pretty good.

After everyone finished eating, they each found a corner of the room, curled up and prepared to sleep.

Although the place is not big, it doesn't feel too cold when everyone is crowded together.

At this time, Mu Hongzhou called Ye Zifen outside the house and whispered to her, "I'll go check the situation nearby to see what these people are doing and who they are looking for. You stay at home and keep watch."

After saying that, he turned and left, leaving Ye Zifen standing there, deep in thought.

Ye Zifen shook her head vigorously. "No, we just need to make sure these people are not here to cause us trouble. Other things have nothing to do with us. This is not the underworld. We don't need to meddle in other people's business. With our current combat power, it's better to avoid causing trouble."

After hearing this, Mu Hongzhou nodded helplessly to show that he understood.

Ye Zifen continued, "Master, you should also go to bed early! I will go and guard our carriage to make sure nothing happens to those things."

Mu Hongzhou thought for a moment and said, "I'll go, and you stay here to prevent those people from causing trouble again. You can help me deal with them."

Ye Zifen nodded in agreement. "That's fine too. Master, remember to set up the tent. It's too cold at night. Although you are very good at martial arts, you are still in the frontier. You must keep warm and don't let your body suffer."

Mu Hongzhou frowned and replied, "Why are you suddenly so long-winded? I know what to do, don't worry."

Although he complained about Ye Zifen's nagging, he felt very warm in his heart.

After Mu Hongzhou left, Ye Zifen also entered the house, but this time she sat on the lame bench, her eyes slightly closed, but her ears were listening to the noise outside.

Fortunately, the night was peaceful. No one knew whether those people left overnight or stayed in someone else's house. When Ye Zifen and the others set out in the morning, they did not see any trace of those people.

Everything was quiet until Ye Zifen and the others met up with Mu Hongzhou and set off again.

While Ye Zifen breathed a sigh of relief, Ye Ziwei took the lead while Ye Zifen slept in the carriage for an hour.

It's not her fault. She had been highly concentrated from yesterday afternoon to this morning. Now that she was relaxing, she naturally felt tired.

At this time, the children behind were also very excited. They didn't expect to encounter such a situation the first time they came out.

To be honest, when those people came, they just followed Ye Ziwei's instructions.

But in retrospect, they realized what they had just experienced.

Then, the children began to chatter about what happened last night. One of the children asked Ye Ziwei: "Sister Ye, did we do the right thing last night?"

Another child chimed in: "Yeah, I didn't even react!"

Ye Ziwei smiled when she heard what the children said and said, "You did a good job. If you hadn't acted quickly, we might have been discovered."

The children became even more excited after being praised.

They began to imagine what would happen if they did not follow Ye Ziwei's instructions.

One child said: "Luckily Sister Ye taught us how to do it, otherwise we would have been arrested for sure."

Another child also said: "Yeah, what if we really get caught?"
