Chapter 9: Dabao helped her cover
Ling Xin: "..." Suspecting whether her mother was really stupid or just pretending to be stupid!
She quickly inserted the straw into Yu Qiuxia's mouth and fed her smoothly.
The refugees were curious but could not figure out what was going on, so they continued to move forward like wandering souls.
"Dad..." Ling Xin quickly walked back to Ling Zhifeng's side and took out a small piece of cloth to wipe his sweat: "Let me wipe your sweat!"
The straw was smoothly placed in his mouth under the cover of the cloth.
Just after taking a few sips, a refugee looked over and said, "Is that a water bag in your hand?"
This sound attracted almost all the refugees in the surrounding area, including the people from Linjia Village.
All eyes were on Ling Xin.
Some people even rushed towards them.
Ling Xin immediately raised her hands, and her wide sleeves fell down, revealing only two thin arms: "I don't have a water bag, I just wipe my father's sweat!"
She shook her empty arms while speaking.
The water bottle directly received to her the space.
The facts were before their eyes. Those who ran closer saw that she really had nowhere to hide and could only walk away in disappointment.
Ling Zhifeng still had a mouthful of water in his mouth, but he dared not swallow it until no one was watching.
The family, who had replenished their water, was much more energetic.
Ling Xin finally picked up Qibao and pretended to put him in the backpack, but actually brought him into the space, fed him milk, and changed his diaper.
The little guy was not afraid of unfamiliar space at all and fell asleep quickly.
On the way, she kept feeding her family various kinds of food... bread, biscuits, and dried fruits.
It was not until the sky gradually darkened that the team stopped at the edge of a forest of withered yellow grass.
There were many refugees around, each with their own territory.
Linjia Village had a large population and occupies a relatively large area.
Ling Xin's family chose a location closer to the forest to settle down.
There happened to be a big rock next to it, blocking most of the view.
The weather was still very hot, and cooking over a fire could be fatal.
Besides, if she was discovered by other refugees while cooking, she might be robbed.
Ling Xin waited until it was completely dark before taking down the bamboo basket.
She took out a dozen white steamed buns, mixed vegetables, and pickled vegetables from it: "Let's all eat together tonight."
Two adults and six children: "..." White flour steamed buns were out of reach for them.
Not to mention the kids, even Ling Zhifeng and Yu Qiuxia had never eaten white flour steamed buns.
The two did the most work at home, but they ate the worst.
They could get a black steamed bun every day, which guaranteed that they would not starve to death.
Yu Qiuxia's saliva was already flowing: "Delicious!"
Ling Zhifeng hurriedly nodded, his eyes fixed on the steamed buns.
"Eat it!" Ling Xin said, and everyone's dirty hands reached out for the big steamed buns.
Ling Xin: "..." Next time before eating, I'll try to make them wash their hands first.
Finally, she couldn't help it, and wiped everyone's hands with disinfectant wipes before letting them eat.
They were very satisfied with this meal.
On the other hand, shouts and calls for help could be heard from the village from time to time.
They were all fearless, and they dared to make a fire to cook. Who else can we rob if not them?
The people of Linjia Village have not yet realized that they must unite as one to prevent the refugees from robbing at will.
Ling Xin had no intention of reminding them.
After their family fell into trouble, no one in this village offered them a helping hand.
Most of them chose to turn a blind eye, but a small number of them, such as Yuhua, bullied them.
After the original owner fainted from hunger, no one cared about her.
When the original owner was still somewhat conscious, Dabao and the others dragged her to bed together.
So... she only cared about the safety of her family.
After dinner, they simply washed up (of course, in a way that no one would notice).
Ling Xin spread a layer of oil paper on the ground and then laid a quilt on it.
Not long after lying down, they couldn't sleep at all because of the buzzing of mosquitoes.
And the weather was unbearably hot.
The little kids had a lot of bites all over their bodies.
Ling Xin took out some mosquito coils from the space, lit them, and placed them around where they slept.
With the mosquito coils, there were obviously fewer mosquitoes.
She looked around and saw that everyone was almost asleep, so she slipped into the space and took a quick shower.
Then she started to prepare food for tomorrow.
There are some baked meat buns in the refrigerator, brined some pork, and made soy milk with a soy milk maker.
Thinking of how often Qibao drinks milk, she also prepared a whole day's worth of milk in advance.
After she was done, she simply lay down on the comfortable bed and fell asleep.
After an unknown amount of time, Dabao yelled and startled her, and she instantly left the space.
When she looked closely, she saw Dabao staring at her and pointing behind her.
After seeing her suddenly appear, although Dabao was quite surprised, he did not shout or scream, and even reminded her.
Ling Xin turned around and saw two sneaky figures hiding behind a big tree nearby.
Maybe they were also frightened by Dabao's shouting, and they were just stared at them motionlessly.
"Xinxin..." Ling Zhifeng was relatively alert and woke up after Dabao shouted.
"It's okay, Dad, Dabao had a nightmare!"
"Oh!" Ling Zhifeng immediately snored again.
Seeing that everyone here had woken up, the two dark shadows quietly retreated and left.
Dabao breathed a sigh of relief.
Ling Xin patted Dabao's head: "I'll go take a look!"
She could never have imagined that Dabao would actually cover for her?
Dabao grabbed her and shook his head, full of fear.
"It's okay, I'll see who they are, otherwise we won't be able to sleep well tonight!"
"Then be careful!" The little one actually knew to worry about her?
Ling Xin nodded, and quietly followed the two figures.
"I wonder what you like about that family? The bedding is all black, and it looks like it hadn't been washed for a long time. There is only a backpack, what can it hold? Could it be that... you are attracted to that ugly young woman?" One of the shadows laughed.
"What do you know?" Another shadow glared at his companion: "Didn't you see the man lying on the cart, he is not an ordinary person at first glance? He might have something worth some silver on him."
"I didn't see it!"
"We have to think of a way to go and try again!" He still didn't give up.
Ling Xin heard the entire conversation between the two.
Who would have thought that there is someone with such a keen eye that could see that Lin Ziyuan is not an ordinary person?
"Are you afraid of that young lady among those weak and sick people? We can just go and rob her!"
"Rob?" He seemed tempted.
Ling Xin had quietly stood behind the two men, less than half a meter away from them, and a machete fell between them: "Rob me, do you want to try?"
Her momentum was instantly revealed.
Both of them were shocked.
They were very careful but didn't even notice her.
"You, when did you come here?" After saying that, he looked around and saw that they were already some distance away from the Linjia Village station.
He put away his unnecessary panic and laughed, "You came here by yourself. Could it be that your man is broken and you want to have some fun with us?"
