Zhen Xiaomei let out a series of groundhog screams in her heart. Ahh But what if you want to go further?

She hesitated and didn't take her hand away immediately, to her surprise, Yun Zhao didn't take the initiative to retract the hand she was holding.

The two stood opposite each other, and after a moment of silence, Zhen Xiaomei was cheeky, pretending to be casual, and directly took Yun Zhao's hand.

The palms of the two faced each other, and the moment the ten fingers were crossed, Yun Zhao's whole person turned red from head to toe, although Zhen Xiaomei couldn't see his face clearly because the moonlight was not very bright, but the temperature on his hand was gradually rising, but Zhen Xiaomei keenly sensed it.

This made Zhen Xiaomei a little embarrassed, and her free hand unconsciously pressed on her chest, wanting her sudden faster heartbeat to slow down a little.

The nervousness, shyness, and a little sweetness lasted until Zhen Xiaomei let go of her hand and wrapped her hands around to move the stone blocking the cave.

She easily picked up the stone and moved it aside, while Yun Zhao stood behind her, quietly clenching the hand that was still warm that Zhen Xiaomei had held.

The two crept into the cave and sat together on a makeshift bed at the entrance of the cave.

Yun Zhao gestured to Zhen Xiaomei and motioned for her to rest for a while before dawn.

Zhen Xiaomei was not polite to him, and under the sneaky attention of Yun Zhao's eyes, she lay down on her back uncomfortably.

Perhaps her consistently good sleep quality played a role, Zhen Xiaomei did not toss and turn because of tonight's hand-holding incident.

Lying down for less than ten minutes, Zhen Xiaomei fell into a deep sleep.

When she opened her eyes again, the sky outside the cave was already the faint white of dawn.

Tang Shishi, who had slept all night, had already gotten up, and at this time she was busy boiling water, cooking porridge, and hot steamed buns back and forth like a hard-working little bee.

And Yun Zhao, he still maintained the same posture that Zhen Xiaomei had before she fell asleep, Zhen Xiaomei could feel that he was not actually practicing, but just maintaining this posture to close his eyes and recuperate.

Zhen Xiaomei sat up, then raised her hand and gently patted Yun Zhao's stiff back.

Yun Zhao's ears were slightly red, he forced his composure, and slowly opened his eyes, "Awake?" ”

Zhen Xiaomei nodded, turned over and got out of bed, "You can sleep a little longer, you didn't sleep much last night." ”

When Tang Shishi heard this, her ears swished and stood up.

Zhen Xiaomei didn't notice anything about this, she pressed Yun Zhao's shoulder and insisted on letting him take a nap.

Yun Zhao couldn't resist her, so he had to lie down obediently on the simple bed that still carried Zhen Xiaomei's body temperature.

Zhen Xiaomei was satisfied to help him cover the animal skin, and then walked out of the cave with a smile on her face and went to help Tang Shishi.

She smiled so happily that Tang Shishi keenly felt a little wrong, but even with a stomach full of curiosity and questions, she never dared to say or ask.

Zhen Xiaomei, who was in a good mood, took matters into her own hands and cooked a pot of lily millet porridge for Yun Zhao to nourish her stomach.

Waiting for Yun Zhao to smell the fragrance and get up to wash, Zhen Xiaomei took another big coat for Yun Zhao to wear, "Since we want to change our appearance, then we will change our clothes and identity together." ”

Yun Zhao has no opinion. He asked Zhen Xiaomei, "Who are you going to pretend to be?" ”

"Merchant." Zhen Xiaomei touched her chin and explained to Yun Zhao, "It is reasonable for businessmen to go south and north, and it is not uncommon for them to be rich, have enough to eat, and know how to do kung fu." ”

It is difficult for other characters to make up for these four characteristics at the same time, and if they play it, if something happens, they are afraid that they will not be able to show it.

Yun Zhao nodded, "Okay, then I'll put it on later." ”

He and Zhen Xiaomei plan to play the role of a low-level martial artist who has already trained his internal strength, such a role, wearing a thick hair is enough to keep out the cold.

Unlike Tang Shishi, who has not yet developed internal strength and is a real rookie, her body is wrapped in layer after layer, looking like a matryoshka doll and a large tumbler(* ̄) ̄*)

After the two of them finished changing their faces, they each wore a big hat, and Tang Shishi brought breakfast to the cave and shared it with Zhen Xiaomei and Yun Zhao.

After eating a simple hot meal, the three of them quickly washed the pots and bowls before continuing towards the first stop of their trip, Tonghe County next to Yunlai County.

Tonghe County is a slightly more prosperous county than Yunlai County, and the Liu family who controls Tonghe County is also slightly more shrewd than the Shen family, the original ruler of Yunlai County.

Although they don't treat ordinary people as human beings, they pay great attention to the proportions of bullying and oppression, and rarely kill people directly, so although there are many homeless homeless people here, the number of orphans is not as large as in Yunlai County before.

Zhen Xiaomei and the others first went to Tonghe County, and after arriving there, Zhen Xiaomei did not take out money or food for the first time, she walked around the homeless and orphans in a very low-key manner under the banner of recruitment.

There are no tangible benefits hanging ahead, and many vigilant homeless people don't believe that Zhen Xiaomei is really here to recruit workers.

Only those homeless people and orphans who were really desperate and felt that if they and their families didn't make changes, they would soon be dead in the wilderness and eaten by wild beasts, gritted their teeth and followed Zhen Xiaomei directly.

Zhen Xiaomei roughly counted it and found that the homeless people who were willing to follow her and those who were unwilling to follow her accounted for about half of the total number of homeless people.

And the orphans she came into contact with before were counted as one, and they all decided to follow her.

The eldest of these orphans is fifteen or sixteen years old, and the youngest is only about three years old, and they are not only skinny and skinny, but they are also bullied every day.

Zhen Xiaomei saw these skinny but wounded children, and she couldn't bear to give them some food when they met for the first time.

Children are one of the most vulnerable in any world.

In today's world, where strength is respected and etiquette is broken, they have been forced to get used to abuse, to fleeing, and to precariousness.

Even though they have forced themselves to be strong, bold, and able to face any changes and injuries, Zhen Xiaomei still subconsciously wants to shelter them and help them.

Maybe it was because the kindness she exuded was captured by these children, or maybe it was because these children were too eager to get out of the predicament in front of them, anyway, when Zhen Xiaomei arrived at the appointed meeting place two quarters of an hour earlier, these children had been waiting for them for a while.

They hid far away from the other displaced people about ten meters away, even if they were cold enough, they were afraid enough, but they still tried to stand calmly, instead of avoiding and retreating as fast as they could before.
