Before Li Yan could speak, the woman continued, "As you can see, this lazy girl in my family is very timid! She is very scared if she has no one to accompany her. Now I have to take care of this and her husband in my family." My mother-in-law, I really don’t have the energy to accompany her.
The young man seems to have a kind heart. Could you please take her with you? It also helps our family not starve to death here. "
At first glance, this seems to be the case.
But it doesn’t stand up to closer scrutiny. Why does this statement smell like moral kidnapping, both inside and outside the words?
Li Yan was always simple and didn't think much about it. He felt that this family was really pitiful.
And bringing an extra little girl is no big deal.
Li Yan was about to open his mouth to agree, but Xue Xian sneered and refused, "Sorry, he always likes to be alone, so please find someone else."
Compared to Li Yan, Xue Xian, who often walks outside, is not so easy to fool.
Although he is usually easy to talk to and will help anyone who can help, but today this matter does not seem to be a good thing.
Taking the little girl to look for food is a trivial matter, but what about finding it?
If you only find a little bit, do you still have to give half to the other party?
At this time, there is not much food. If you divide it again, how much can be left?
Even if they don't separate, everyone can do it according to their own abilities, but looking at the calculating look on this woman's face, you know that she is not easy to get along with. When she comes back, they may still be arguing for a long time.
Taking a step back, even if no one found anything to eat, the other party might still think that Li Yan was useless and led the way randomly, which was why their people couldn't find food.
No matter which one it is, good people will not be rewarded anyway.
Therefore, it is better not to agree.
It's not that Xue Xian is just speculating, but that he has seen this kind of situation many times. When he first came out to travel around the world, he also kindly helped many people, but the endings were not very good.
Xue Xian felt that he could bear it, but Li Yan, a big fool like him, would probably be extremely uncomfortable by then.
"Why are you like this!" The woman saw Xue Xian's refusal and immediately said displeased, "I just asked you to help bring Qiao'er and keep an eye on her for me, why are you not willing to help with this little thing. "
The woman also saw that Xue Xian was not easy to fool, so she looked directly at Li Yan, "This young master, can you do us a little favor? Qiao'er has always been well-behaved and won't cause you too much trouble."
Li Yan looked at them with some embarrassment, and then at Xue Xian who was twitching his lips and about to speak again.
"Actually, there's no need to go to such trouble."
Shen Jun, who had been silent just now, suddenly smiled and said, "Auntie, I don't think it is necessary for your girl to go find food. I think it would be better for you to go there yourself."
"I……"
Shen Jun interrupted the woman, "After all, my aunt seems to be braver than her and has life experience. It's easy to go out to find something to eat. She, as a young person, has to worry about whether she can't tell whether the food is edible.
So I think it’s better for Auntie to go find food while she stays to take care of you. Isn’t this the best of both worlds? Auntie, do you think I'm right? "
The woman choked at Shen Jun's words.
Li Yan suddenly understood, nodded and said frankly, "Yes, Auntie, my eldest daughter is right."
After thinking about it this way, Li Yan stopped worrying and said to Xue Xian and Shen Jun, "Then I'll leave first."
Without any psychological burden, Li Yan left easily and walked around nearby to see if he could find any surviving forests. He might find a lot of good things.
Seeing Li Yan leaving without mercy, the woman glared at Shen Jun, but then looked at Xue Xian who was standing aside holding a sword, and finally did not dare to say anything.
He just squeezed Qiao'er secretly and said, "You're useless, I asked you to find something to eat, but you're just dragging your feet!"
The people next to them seemed to have good family backgrounds, and they probably had a lot of food on them.
If Qiaoer failed to find food while following the other party, and something unexpected happened, they could still find a way to extort something from these people.
The woman only thought that the two men, Li Yan and Xue Xian, looked young and strong and not easy to mess with. She had no idea that Shen Jun, who was about the same age as her daughter, sitting next to her, was the most difficult to figure out.
Looking at the smiling woman, a few words were able to make Li Yan make up his mind, resolve his embarrassment, and even tear her face apart. This is how a ruthless person keeps his face.
However, the woman took it lightly when she saw her gentle and amiable appearance. She really had poor eyesight.
…
Li Yan went out and wandered around. He didn't know where he got into, but he actually found a few small wild fruits.
"It's a coincidence. I just walked around there and found a half-dead tree."
Li Yan talked about his experience just now and said in a somewhat magical tone, "I thought this trip was in vain, but I didn't expect to find these three or four small fruits under the cover of the dead leaves on the tree. "
"It's probably because it's too small and it's just blocked, so no one noticed it. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't have been able to wait until I went over to pick it."
This really counts as good luck.
Although this place is in the wilderness, since the disaster years, people occasionally come here looking for food.
It is not easy to have these three or four small fruits left.
"Brother Xue, look at this fruit, it should be edible, right?"
To be on the safe side, Li Yan gave the fruit to Xue Xian for a look, fearing that the fruit was inedible and would cause physical discomfort after eating it.
Xue Xian took it and looked at it, "It doesn't look like there's any big problem."
He wiped it casually with his sleeve, then took a bite, his brows suddenly wrinkled, "It's really sour."
Seeing Li Yan also frowning, Xue Xian added, "But it may be that I'm afraid of eating sour food. Maybe you guys will be fine just eating it."
Xue Xian did not give the fruit to Shen Jun and the others, but said, "Why don't you eat it later and observe if anything happens to me first."
"Brother Xue..." Li Yan was a little moved.
Shen Jun said leisurely, "You are trying to imitate Shen Nong and taste the herbs! Don't worry, this stuff is edible."
This thing was still a relatively popular fruit in her world. Of course, because the world was different, Shen Jun couldn't guarantee whether this fruit would mutate in this era.
But the barrage gave her the answer.
This food tastes a little sweet and sour, but it is indeed edible and makes you feel full.
"Are you sure? You won't lose half your life after eating it, right?"
Xue Xian hesitated and said, he didn't expect Shen Jun to be so sure, but considering that Shen Jun could tell fortunes as good as half an immortal, it shouldn't be difficult to see if the fruit is edible?
"Well, eat it, you won't die."
With Shen Jun's assurance, they divided the fruit equally.
