After Yao Shu yelled like this, Shen Nanshan shut up instantly. This had become his body's instinct.

"Oh my god, how come there is so much food down there? Old lady, we are in great luck!"

Shen Nanshan's voice of surprise came from the bottom of the cave. He never expected that there would be so much food, which was enough for their family to eat for more than half a month.

If you just want to make ends meet, you can eat it for more than a month.

You know, the Shen family's current food storage is only enough for six or seven days, which is like pie in the sky. No wonder Shen Nanshan is so excited.

"Okay, hurry up and bring the food, we have to rush back."

Yao Shu reminded with a smile on her lips.

It was already getting late, and even if Shen Nanshan was with her, it was still not safe.

She was watching on the ground and saw Shen Nanshan stuffing things into the bag. After a while, the bag was filled to the brim.

Seeing that the bag was swelling up and almost covering Shen Nanshan, she spoke out to persuade him.

"Old man, don't take it. We don't have the strength to take it back. We'll just call the boss and the others over tomorrow."

This place is remote, and I don't think anyone will find me in a day.

Even if they take too much stuff, they won't be able to take it back. Being greedy is unacceptable.

"It's okay, I can get it."

However, at this time, Shen Nanshan could not resist the temptation of food at all. He continued what he was doing and waited until there was no gap in the bag and it could no longer be filled, then he stopped.

I saw him dragging the bag to the edge of the cave wall, looking up at Yao Shu at the entrance of the cave, and couldn't help but feel troubled.

"Old lady, pull the food up first."

Shen Nanshan still refused to give up.

Seeing this, Yao Shu really didn't know what to say. She pulled the cane upwards with both hands. She used all her strength to pull the cane up, but she only pulled it up a little.

"what!"

She couldn't hold on to the heavy bag and almost fell down due to the force.

"Old man, I've already said it won't work, I can't pull it off, so stop pretending."

Yao Shumei said angrily.

She was exhausted from the day, and she still had the strength to handle such a heavy thing.

Seeing that Yao Shu really couldn't pull the food up, Shen Nanshan could only do as she said and take as much as he could.

When they were about to walk back, Shen Nanshan looked back from time to time, as if his feet had taken root, not to mention how reluctant he was to let go.

Seeing this, Yao Shu helplessly reached out and gave him a hand.

"Stop looking, we'll just come back tomorrow."

"Old lady, we must remember this road."

Shen Nanshan said uneasy.

People who have not had enough to eat for a long time and almost starved to death on the way to escape from famine have an obsession with food that others cannot understand. No matter who they are in Dahe Village, they will not be willing to throw away food.

"I know, let's go quickly, the sun is almost setting."

When she walked this way, she didn't feel it too deeply. When she walked back, Yao Shu realized how far she had gone.

Also, if not for this, she would not be able to unlock two new check-in locations.

The two of them walked back together, and when the sun completely set and there was only a little afterglow left, they returned to the cave where everyone stayed temporarily.

"Father, mother, you are finally back."

"If it's any later, we'll have to go out to look for you."

Shen Qiu and his brothers all came out to welcome him, and Shen Bei even took the initiative to take what Shen Nanshan was carrying on his shoulders.

He took the bag and immediately opened it and took a look.

"sky!"

What he saw in front of him made him scream in surprise, but he quickly realized and shut his mouth. Their food could not be stared at by others.

But it was already too late. Everyone had already noticed the return of Yao Shu and Shen Nanshan. Shen Bei exclaimed again, which was hard to ignore.

"Ms. Shen Qiu, you came back so late. Did you find something good outside?"

"What good things can be found on the mountain these days? It's just that the bark of the trees hasn't been stripped off."

Shen Nanshan replied vigilantly.

He couldn't let others take advantage of their food.

"Nothing, just some dry firewood. I wanted to find some herbs but I was delayed this time."

Yao Shu explained that as for whether others would believe it, she didn't care so much. There were several men in the Shen family, and she was not afraid of anyone daring to cause trouble.

This is also the reason why the Shen family was able to blackmail people everywhere in the past.

Finally returning to a safe place, Yao Shu sat down beside the fire tiredly, not caring about being dirty at all.

Her whole body felt like she had rolled through muddy water, and she couldn't get any worse.

"Mom, please change your clothes first."

Shen Ru brought over a set of clean clothes, which she dried in the afternoon. It had been raining for so long before, so the salute was inevitably stained with water.

"My daughter is still considerate."

Yao Shu praised that it would be great if she could change into clean clothes now, and it would be even better if she could take a hot bath.

But she knew that this was simply a daydream. In the current situation, there was no such condition.

"Mom, wipe your face with this."

The eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zhao, also came over and handed Yao Shu a piece of cotton cloth soaked in hot water.

The two of them were able to think so thoughtfully. Yao Shu was relieved but also had some doubts. In the memory of the original owner, their relationship had not been so harmonious before.

However, she did not continue to think deeply, and immediately went to the corner and asked Shen Ru and Zhao to hold the curtain so that she could change her clothes and wipe the dirt on her body.

After doing this, she finally felt much more comfortable.

Yao Shu sat next to the fire again and saw that everyone's eyes were fixed on her.

She felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by so many pairs of eyes, and then she realized that they were waiting for her to share the food.

"Cook the few grain dumplings you left behind."

This is the only food the family has. She has nothing to arrange, and it's just enough to fill her stomach.

"mother……"

Shen Ru called out loudly, and when Yao Shu looked over, she swallowed the words that were on her lips, which showed that Yao Shu had been building up her power for a long time.

"If you have anything to say, just say it."

Yao Shu couldn't guess what the other person was thinking.

Besides, she was still a little groggy now, and she didn't want to think about it.

"Mom, can you cook some rice porridge? Xiaohua and Xiaocao are both sick. Let them drink porridge to recover."

Shen Ru looked at Yao Shu pleadingly, pitiful parents in the world, the child's body and bones are already weak, how could he be able to bear it after being caught in the rain.

Without waiting for Yao Shu's response, Zhao knelt down in front of her.
