The other party had good intentions, but Yao Shu always felt embarrassed. For this reason, she couldn't say no anymore, but it took her half an hour to go back and forth this time.

The excuse she just made was not good for delaying it for so long.

Seeing the stalemate, Yao Shu's mind was running rapidly, but she couldn't think of any ideas. She was already prepared to leave again later.

"Do not……"

"No need to bother Brother Lin. Let me accompany my aunt. I happen to be there too."

Wang Chengzhi suddenly appeared in their sight.

It was already very late, but she didn't expect that so many people were still awake. This was really a bad time.

Yao Shu had completely given up the idea of ​​taking action now. In this case, she had no choice but to comply with Wang Chengzhi's words.

"Then trouble you."

"Auntie, you're welcome."

Wang Chengzhi was as gentle and polite as ever, and he also said to Lin Laowu.

"Brother Lin, you should go and rest first. You are so tired during the day and you should take a good rest."

After such a small episode, they began to walk out. This time, no one showed up again. The two of them walked away smoothly. Yao Shu took a look at the slender man and couldn't help but sigh.

She didn't know if she could rest after all the hard work tonight, but she couldn't delay this matter any longer. If another day passed, they would only get further and further away from this place.

After a while, Wang Chengzhi stopped.

"Auntie, I'll wait for you here."

"it is good."

Yao Shu was about to walk to the sand dune in front and wait for a while before leaving. Before she could take a few steps, she heard Wang Chengzhi speak.

"You don't have to be in a hurry. It's okay to take your time. I'll be here waiting for you to go back together tonight."

Hearing this, Yao Shu's eyes widened slightly. It sounded like she had something else to say. She turned back and met Wang Chengzhi's eyes. When their eyes collided, she knew what she had guessed. correct.

Wang Chengzhi was indeed helping her cover up.

This really surprised her, and she didn't know how the other party saw it. He actually saw that she had something to do, and told her not to worry about the rush of time.

"Thank you."

Yao Shu thanked her more sincerely this time. After saying this, she left and had to finish the matter as soon as possible.

There were no other obstacles after that. She successfully put the bucket back into the system backpack without even taking up any extra space. The guessed idea was completely feasible, which made her very happy.

The fatigue from the night's toil was washed away.

By the time she returned, half an hour had passed, but Wang Chengzhi didn't say a word. The two of them walked back in silence, as if nothing had happened.

Yao Shu was very satisfied with the current situation and had to say that Wang Chengzhi was indeed a smart man.

After solving the problem hanging in her mind, she fell asleep peacefully and took the time to rest. She was afraid that she would not be able to wake up in the morning.

Because water sources were discovered in the desert, everyone saw hope. Since there is a water source, there will be a second one, as long as it is not a place of death. The only one who is still a little worried is Yao Shu.

She knew very well that the so-called water source was just her hands and feet. She would be relieved when she could find the real water source.

Yao Shu observed the surrounding environment as always, but found nothing.

Everyone continued to move forward, but when everyone was about to set off this day, they found that one person was missing. Yao Shu asked the other members of the Shen family with a sullen face.

"Where is the third child? Can such a big man be lost?"

"How would we know? The third child didn't even tell us. Maybe he just hid in a corner and ate it secretly."

Shen He shouted unconvinced, it was obviously Shen Bei's fault, there was no reason for them to be scolded here.

"What are you stealing?"

Yao Shu was even more concerned about other things. Their family didn't have much food at all now. There was no need to steal the food. Could it be that they also got other food?

In this vast desert, she didn't believe that Shen Bei had such ability.

Shen He felt annoyed because he said something he shouldn't have said as soon as his mouth was bald. He really didn't want to betray the third child, he just said it out of words.

In order not to make Shen Bei miserable, he quickly made up a few words.

"It's nothing. I'm just saying it smoothly. Why did the third child eat secretly in the past?"

"to be honest."

Yao Shu stared at Shen He with a serious face. Under the pressure of her momentum, the other party could not persist and told the truth in just a moment.

"Just, it's what everyone gave me. There are still some small bugs in the desert, which are still meat after all."

There were some dry grass stalks along the way, which were just used to roast the worms. Because the meat was too small, it was probably only enough for one person to taste it. Shen He glanced at Yao Shu guiltily.

He knew that his mother didn't like to see them taking things from the villagers, but it wasn't a valuable item, and it was just a small favor from everyone.

"You guys are really promising. You are not afraid of poisoning yourselves to death. Can you eat insects you have never seen before?"

Yao Shu was almost made angry by them, but she couldn't reach this point.

Although the food they ate recently was indeed unpalatable and tasteless, and she didn't have much of an appetite, she didn't eat bugs.

As everyone knows, for the poor people, as long as it is meat, it is a good thing. Even in normal years, rats and snakes are good things to eat, let alone this period of famine.

"Mom, don't worry, it's okay, the third child is still alive and kicking."

As soon as Shen Bei finished speaking, Yao Shu glared at him, and he quickly shut up and shrank into the corner.

"Go and get the third child back."

No matter how angry Yao Shu was, she couldn't ignore this cheap son. If he really left the team, Shen Bei would really die in the desert.

Seeing that the Shen family was so anxious and angry, everyone in Dahezhuang also helped to find the person. It was like a wild goose chase. Fortunately, their efforts were not in vain and they finally found the person.

Looking at Shen Bei who walked up to him, Yao Shu's face was already very ugly. The air-conditioning mixed with it made everyone afraid to express their anger, let alone Shen Bei himself who had made a mistake and faced Yao Shu's anger.

He secretly said that he was going to suffer, and apologized neatly.

"Mom, I was wrong. I asked everyone to worry about me. I did this just to find something to eat. Look, I brought back some wild vegetables."

Even wild vegetables are a rare thing in this damn place.

Yao Shu's eyes swept over the wild vegetables. Even though she was angry, she did not lose her due judgment.
