Chapter 6: Why Do I Want To Laugh When I Should Be Sad?

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Lady Mu was awake!

Cheng Dani and Cheng Erni shouted in surprise, “Mother!”

Mu Sanniang opened her eyes and looked around sluggishly. Finally, her gaze fell on Cheng Ling. “Little Ling, you just… what did you just feed me?”

Cheng Ling didn’t expect her to notice the pill she had just eaten in her dazed state.

That’s right. The pill had a bitter medicinal smell. Mu Sanniang was not a fool. How could she not notice the difference?

Fortunately, Cheng Ling had already thought of an excuse. “It’s the Hundred Treasure pill, Mother. I used a piece of information to exchange it with Master Jin.”

“Master Jin?” Mama Mu’s voice suddenly became louder, and she actually sat up by herself in a moment of panic.

Although she had been unconscious for half a day and didn’t know that Cheng Dani had wanted to exchange herself for food, she had heard of Master Jin.

As early as a few days ago, Master Jin would often go out of the city to pick some neat-looking girls and boys to buy back into the city. He was a famous figure in the refugee area outside the city!

Therefore, when Cheng Ling mentioned Master Jin, Mu Sanniang became anxious, afraid that the child at home would do something stupid.

“Mother, our Chief Guo wanted to bring people to the city gate, so I exchanged this information with Master Jin for a life-saving pill,” Cheng Ling quickly explained in a low voice.

She had the original owner’s memories, so she was very friendly to Mama Mu. At this time, she called out to her mother very smoothly, without any psychological barrier.

Mu Sanniang was stunned by the news and instinctively reached out to hold Cheng Ling’s hand. She stared at her and asked, “Little Ling, where did you get the news? Can you confirm it?”

“A guy called Liang Erzhu, who’s always by Chief Guo’s side, told me about it,” Cheng Ling said. “I’m the only male figure in our family, so if they want to gather the refugees, they must inform the men of each family.”

Mu Sanniang let out a breath. Leader Guo and Liang Erzhu’s names were out. Cheng Ling was telling the truth, so how could Mu Sanniang not believe her?

Her heart was in turmoil for a moment. She was already weak from her illness, but the pill also had a strong pain-killing effect in addition to her internal injuries.

After a while, the pain in Mother Mu’s body gradually subsided, and she pulled herself together. She quickly said, “No, we can’t stay in this place anymore. My dear children, we must leave this place as soon as possible. ”

Her expression was firm as she spoke. It was clear that she had already made up her mind.

“Xiao Ling, when Liang Erzhu came to look for you, what did you say?” She asked Cheng Ling.

Cheng Ling looked at Mu Sanniang. Although her face was pale and haggard, she had a determined expression.

This was an ordinary ancient woman who didn’t look any different from the ordinary toiling masses.

However, she had been widowed at a young age. She was able to raise three children and raise them independently. She was also able to raise her youngest daughter as her son and keep it a secret from everyone.

From this, one could imagine how unusual she was.

To Cheng Ling, this was great. The road ahead was difficult and dangerous. To have such a teammate was also a kind of luck, wasn’t it?

“Mother, don’t worry. We’ll leave when it’s dark,” she said in a low voice.

As she spoke, she made a gesture of taking something out of her arms, but in fact, she secretly communicated with the realm and took out a piece of compressed biscuit that had just been torn from the package.

When she opened her palm again, there was a slightly yellow compressed biscuit in Cheng Ling’s hand. It had the aroma of food.

“Gulp!” Cheng Erni swallowed her saliva.

She had just been listening to the conversation between her “brother” and her mother. She didn’t even react when she heard that someone was about to attack the city gate. However, the appearance of this compressed biscuit instantly broke her defense.

Fragrant, it was too fragrant!

In fact, the smell of the compressed biscuits was not very obvious, but for people in a state of extreme hunger, even the faintest smell of food would cause them to drool.

What was more was, compressed biscuits contained a lot of oil and sugar. Thus, after Cheng Ling opened her palm, the smell of food mixed with oil and sugar entered the nostrils of the people around her.

Not only did Cheng Erni swallow her saliva, but her eyes were also green with envy.

Mu Sanniang still had some rationality left in her. She asked reluctantly, “Little Ling, What’s this?”

“I picked up a small bag in the forest earlier,” Cheng Ling said. “There’s some dry food in it. Mother, let’s share it and accumulate some strength. We’ll leave when it’s dark.”

After saying that, she stretched out her hand and broke the small piece of compressed biscuit into four portions. She kept one for herself and gave the other three Mu and the two sisters.

The four of them ate a small piece each.

This wasn’t because Cheng Ling was stingy, but because the four of them were in a long-term state of hunger. In this case, it wasn’t appropriate to overeat right after breaking this obligatory fast.

Compressed biscuits were things that made them feel full and were not easy to digest. Eating a small piece at a time would be enough to provide some energy to their dried-up bodies.

Of course, Cheng Ling also had to consider the resources.

Although she had just obtained a Goldfinger small space, the resources inside were limited. There were only 15 pieces of compressed biscuits in total. Of course, Cheng Ling couldn’t waste them and had to use them according to plan.

Cheng Erni didn’t have any other thoughts. The only thought she had was to eat!

After she finished the water and biscuits, she looked at Cheng Dani and Mu Sanniang with eager eyes.

Cheng Ling’s eating speed was just as fast as her, and she had already finished the small piece of biscuit.

Only Cheng Dani and Mu Sanniang were eating rather slowly. They both had the same thought. They wanted to keep some of the precious food.

That’s right. If the taste of compressed biscuits was put in modern society, it might be criticized by many people.

However, in the mouths of refugees like Cheng Dani and Mu Sanniang, the taste was salty and sweet, mixed with the smell of oily nuts. With a bite, it felt like it was full of carbon water. It was simply a divine meal!

Not to mention the fact that even before they fled and their families were still stable, they had never eaten such food.

The mother and daughter tried their best to restrain themselves, but their hungry bodies were not under the control of their rationality. By the time they came back to their senses, Cheng Dani and Mu Sanniang realized that no matter how slowly they chewed, they had already finished the food in their hands.

Cheng Dani was speechless.

Her eyes were filled with tears.

“Dear sister?” Cheng Erni was also wiping her tears. “Why are you crying?” she asked.

Cheng Dani inexplicably hiccupped, then covered her face in shame. “I..”

She turned around and said solemnly, “I didn’t leave any rations behind, Wu…..I was wrong.”

Cheng Erni’s tears flowed even more freely. She cried as well. “Yes, I should also leave some behind. I won’t be able to eat such delicious food anymore. What should I do, wuwuwu!”

Cheng Ling was speechless.

What could she do? It was such a sad thing, so why did she suddenly feel like laughing?
