Koi Fubao: Being loved by everyone on the road to escape from famine

His mind is as pure as a child's, and his actions are always one step faster than his thoughts. That innocence makes people like him.

"Xuan Yu Tang," he continued chewing, with oil stains on the corners of his mouth, his eyes flickering with curiosity about the unknown, "It is like a ghost lurking in the shadows, unknown to ordinary people. Members are scattered in every corner of Xiliang Country, and their spies are densely spread, quietly collecting the deepest secrets of the country. Our trip is to unveil the mysterious veil of Xuan Yu Tang and obtain a token that is crucial to our mission."

Xiao Zhixue was deeply attracted by the story of this mysterious organization, with curiosity gleaming in her eyes.

In her opinion, such plots seem to be found only in modern spy movies, which are full of excitement and unknowns.

Just as she was full of thoughts and wanted to further explore Fan Yanmu's true identity, she saw Fan Yanmu and Ying Yi gradually approaching.

She coughed quickly to hide her fluttering heart, and whispered to Ying Er softly, "Let's leave the topic here. I promise to keep it a secret."

After she finished speaking, she picked up a piece of meat that was stewed until it melted in her mouth with chopsticks and slowly put it into her mouth, enjoying the tenderness of the meat and the deliciousness of the juice, while also savoring Ying Er's words in her heart.

Ying Er felt Fan Yanmu approaching and immediately buried his head in eating, as if the food in front of him was his only focus, trying to cover up the conversation just now.

The conversation between the two was as quiet as a mosquito's buzz and was almost completely swallowed up by the laughter of the diners around them.

In the noisy environment, even Xiao Tingxuan, who was sitting not far away, could only vaguely hear some broken words, and the content was completely indistinguishable.

Fan Yanmu and Yingyi returned to their seats, took the bowls and chopsticks handed to them, and enjoyed their dinner on their own. The atmosphere seemed calm and natural.

After the meal, Xiao Zhixue went to check on Old Lady Lu again and saw that the old lady’s physical condition had improved significantly after drinking the spiritual spring water and taking homemade herbal medicine.

She carefully controlled the dosage of the spiritual spring water to ensure that the medicine could exert its maximum effect. Only after she saw with her own eyes that the old man's condition was stable did she leave with peace of mind and go to Liu's residence.

At this time, Liu was able to barely sit up from the wooden bed. Her face looked more rosy than before and she seemed more energetic.

After taking his pulse carefully, Xiao Zhixue confirmed that he would recover soon, so she decided not to use the tonic liquid anymore and only use spiritual spring water to help him restore his strength.

The Yu family was overwhelmed with gratitude towards Xiao Zhixue, especially when they saw her generously distributing fruits to the villagers. The village chief was so moved that he choked up several times and could not find the right words to express his deep gratitude.

When Zhou Shuqiong returned to her parents, she had already prepared a comfortable bed.

After Xiao Zhixue lay down, her mind dived into that magical space. The scene before her made her pleasantly surprised - the crops had already borne abundant fruits and were maturing faster than expected.

She was secretly delighted. She had originally estimated that she would have to wait for several days, but she didn't expect that the harvest would come so soon.

From then on, food self-sufficiency was no longer a dream, and the abundance in the space was enough to meet the family's living needs.

In the vast space, in addition to mature crops and lush herbs, there is also a large amount of land waiting to be cultivated, waiting for the arrival of life.

Those fruit cores that were previously planted inadvertently have broken through the soil with the nourishment of the spiritual spring water, and the new green shoots reveal a vibrant vitality.

After arranging the gold and silver beads, the whole space looks more open and bright.

Everything was arranged, and Xiao Zhixue exited the space contentedly.

Just as she was about to fall asleep, she heard chaotic footsteps outside and the sounds of villagers gathering gradually became clearer.

"Did the government send people to arrest us?" Worry and fear spread among the crowd.

"It shouldn't be that serious. We are all law-abiding citizens. How could anything go wrong?" Someone tried to calm everyone down.

"Mom, I'm scared..." The childish voice was full of fear of the unknown.

Xiao Zhixue slowly opened her clear eyes, and what came into her sight was a group of officials in official uniforms standing solemnly before her. The sunlight shone through the sparse leaves, casting mottled shadows on their bodies.

Fan Yanmu felt the tense atmosphere around him and stood up swiftly. His eyes were like a sword drawn from its sheath, sharp and cold, scanning the surroundings as if he could see through everyone's thoughts.

At this time, a tall official stood up straight with his chest held in, and spoke in a loud voice, like a morning bell or evening drum, piercing the silence around him: "Excuse me, who among you is the person in charge?"

Upon seeing this, the village chief hurriedly ran forward with a flattering smile on his face, but his eyes could not hide a trace of uneasiness. He lowered his voice and asked carefully: "The adults must have important business here. May I ask if you have any instructions?"

The official's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's. He looked the village chief up and down. His expression was solemn, like the deep water of a cold pond. His voice was cold and without any warmth: "Everyone, get up immediately and follow us. We should not stay here for long."

The village chief felt as if his heart was pricked by a needle, and an ominous premonition came to his mind: Is he going to repeat that dark dungeon life again?

Xiao Zhixue's fingers gently stroked the whip rope tied around her waist, and a look of determination flashed in her eyes. If these officials did anything wrong, she had already made up her mind not to show mercy.

The village chief's voice trembled slightly. He suppressed his inner panic and asked, "My lords, the people in our village have always been law-abiding and have never violated the law. Why are you taking us away?"

The officer seemed to be stunned by this question, with a look of astonishment on his face: "Arrest someone? When did I say I wanted to arrest someone?"

"Huh?" The village chief also looked confused and had no idea what had happened.

As the conversation deepened, the fear on the villagers' faces became more and more intense.

The officers noticed this, and their expressions softened in an instant. One of them forced a smile, and his tone became much softer.

"I'm afraid we didn't express ourselves properly and caused misunderstanding. In fact, our master learned that there were many refugees displaced from their homes in nearby towns, so he ordered us to come here and guide everyone to a temple in the town to stay temporarily. The weather has been unpredictable recently, and heavy rain is about to fall. If you sleep outdoors, you will inevitably be attacked by wind and rain, and it is easy to get sick."

As soon as these words were spoken, the villagers looked at each other in confusion and bewilderment, as if the scene before them was completely inconsistent with their imagination.

The village chief was eager to verify the facts and asked hurriedly, "May I ask, who is your master?"

Upon hearing this, another official smiled as warmly as the spring sunshine: "It is the mayor of our Sanma Town. He is kind-hearted and cannot bear to see the people suffer, so he did this kind act. Please rest assured, just follow us. There is an abandoned temple not far ahead, which is enough for everyone to take refuge."
