“The vegetables must have been left out for too long and have gone bad.” Gu Ying said calmly. His serious look made MO Ruyue burst into laughter.

“It’s not summer now, and the temperature is still very low. How could it have gone bad in just one day?”

She was asking the obvious, and she didn’t even try to hide the smile in her eyes.

“I’ll go scout the way. I’ll be back for dinner later.”

The tips of Gu Yings ears turned slightly red. He suddenly turned around and twisted his waist. He was already more than ten meters away like a soaring bird.

Although his posture was particularly elegant, it looked like he was running away.

This time, MO Ruyue burst out laughing without restraint. Her bell-like laughter spread far and wide, as if she could catch up with Gu Ying. It also doubled his speed.

Deng Feng had also been around since long. How could he not understand the interaction between this young couple?

MO Ruyue was indeed overly cautious with him. It was no wonder that Gu Ying was a little jealous.

No matter how much he trusted her other half, it was impossible for him not to be jealous when she showed concern for another member of the opposite sex.

How could he not be jealous if he really placed her on the top of his heart?

It was also because MO Ruyue had only shown her delicate little girl side in front of Gu Ying that Deng Feng realized that she was not just cold and unapproachable.

The estrangement that Deng Feng had been unable to let go of for a long time had strangely disappeared in this little teasing.

After that, his interaction with MO Ruyue became very natural, and she was keenly aware of it.

Although MO Ruyue did not know why he had let go of his worries, she was very happy to see the current situation.

In less than an hour, Gu Ying returned.

He saw MO Ruyue and Deng Feng sitting around the stove. White steam was coming out of the pot, and the aroma of the food was spreading in the air.

‘Gu Ying, you’re back. Just in time. Come and eat.”

Even though Gu Ying had appeared silently, MO Ruyue had already noticed him.

She looked over and smiled brightly as she waved at him.

Gu Ying’s heart relaxed, and he felt as if he had suddenly seen the light. He could not help but smile as well.

In the past, he and Bing ‘Er only had each other in their world. He was used to being all the characters that she needed, so he had a faint hostility towards Deng Feng that he did not admit.

However, there were many people in her world now, and she had experienced many emotions that she had never experienced before. Deng Feng was also someone that he and Bing ‘Er recognized.

So what was there to be conflicted about?

There was only one position that he would never let go of. The others… There was nothing wrong with having more people to make Bing ‘Er happier.

After shaking off the burden of his thoughts, Gu Ying’s footsteps became lighter and firmer.

MO Ruyue saw the silent change in the two men. She secretly nodded in her heart.

Very good, it was finally harmonious.

“Ying, what’s the situation up ahead?”

MO Ruyue beckoned Gu Ying to sit down beside her and handed him a bowl of food.

“There’s still a more difficult road ahead. It’s about a dozen miles. You need to be careful and slow down. After that, it can be said to be a smooth road.

“There’s a small village on this road, and the disaster isn’t very serious. If we’re not in a hurry, we can stay there for the night.”

Gu Ying told her the news he had heard before he started to eat.

To him, that bowl of rice was just a matter of two or three mouthfuls. He swallowed it without chewing much.

“We can go over and ask for some water to drink and replenish some food at the same time. Anyway, what we don’t lack the most is money.”

MO Ruyue’s words could not be more convincing, but she was telling the truth.

Whether it was the annual gifts from the Bai Clan, the Xiao Clan, or the Ouyang Clan, or the money that MO Ruyue and Gu Ying had earned themselves, it was enough for a small city with a population of a few thousand to live comfortably for a few lifetimes.

When Gu Ying reunited with MO Ruyue, he had given her the tourmaline ring. That ring was the key to opening the private money cabinet of the capital’s money house. The things inside were all the wealth that Gu Ying had earned with his life.

“That’s good. Let’s replenish our supplies and continue on our way. The integrity of the towns behind will be higher. If we want to rest, there will be many opportunities.”

Gu Ying agreed with MO Ruyue’s suggestion, and Deng Feng would not object to it.

However, what he did not expect was that MO Ruyue would make such a suggestion. It was completely to provide her with new ingredients as a distraction.

After a short rest, the three of them resumed their journey north.

Just as Gu Ying had said, although the small village not far away was very small, it was almost unaffected by the natural disaster. Just like the lucky small town before, it was preserved quite well.

When the villagers heard that these three passersby were not here to beg for food, but to buy some food, chickens, ducks, and other livestock, they immediately agreed.

After learning that these three people had a huge demand, almost every household did not want to miss this opportunity. They all took out food, chickens, ducks, and rabbits from their homes. Some even gritted their teeth and contributed a milk goat.

MO Ruyue was also very generous. Food was the hard currency now, so she naturally wouldn’t let the villagers suffer too much. She offered a price that the other party would find hard to refuse.

After loitering in the village for two hours, MO Ruyue set off with a cart full of supplies.

The chickens, ducks, and rabbits were all placed in bamboo cages on the backs of Big Black and Little Black.

The milk goat was tied to the side of the carriage, but this slowed down the speed of the carriage, so it could only move forward slowly.

“Ruyue, you’re really capable. You managed to get so many resources in such a short time. There’s food and meat. I really don’t have to worry about filling my stomach with you.”

Deng Feng was full of admiration for MO Ruyue.

Although the process of getting food this time was very simple, as long as she threw money, it was not an easy thing for a penniless person. “Big Brother Deng, don’t praise me. I might get carried away easily.”

MO Ruyue said with a smile.

With these chickens, ducks, and rabbits, the source of meat would be perfectly solved. The milk goat could also guarantee that it would provide fresh goat milk every day, which was also a pleasant surprise.

However, the legs of the milk goat were too short to keep up with the speed of the carriage. She could not always accommodate the speed of the milk goat, so she had to find materials to build a small trailer later. When the time came, she could increase the speed by carrying the milk goat.

“By the way, Ruyue, I remember that you have five babies at home. May I know where they are now?

Deng Feng already knew that MO Ruyue and Gu Ying had specially come back to save them. The babies must have been entrusted to someone they could trust and were in a safe place.

“I entrusted the babies to an old couple in the village. They are neighbors to my family and are also very close friends and relatives. They continued to go north.”

MO Ruyue was also thinking about when she should bring the babies out of the space, or wait until they arrived in the capital.

Although she had already decided to add Deng Feng to her family, she did not want him to know about the existence of the space so soon. This matter had to be taken slowly.

“To be able to make you trust them so much, Ruyue, that old couple must be quite good people.”

Deng Feng said with certainty..
