Consider going to bed after eating at night, as the rice soup is very watery.

Duan Mingchen held the bowl and sipped it in small sips, looking at the carriage from time to time.

It was so dark now that Duan Mingchen could only vaguely see a shadow, and there were many more that he couldn't understand.

Duan Mingchen hesitated for a long time, wanting to say this.

"Mother..." Duan Mingchen shouted in a low voice.

"What's wrong?" Qiao Lan looked towards Duan Mingchen. He saw that the child was struggling for a long time.

"Today, I met a little girl on the road..." Duan Mingchen told what happened today exactly.

"I think that little girl is a little pitiful. Let's give her a ride."

"Take her for a ride?" Qiao Lan thought.

"Mom, give her some of my food rations. When we encounter any town later, we will drop her off and find her a good family," Duan Mingchen thought.

It is impossible for the Duan family to take this girl all the way back to their hometown.

"Bring that girl over and show me!" Qiao Lan said.

"Okay, mother, I'll go right away." Duan Mingchen put down the bowl and immediately went to the little girl in the dark.

"Come with me! I'll go with you to meet my mother. If my mother agrees to take you, you can go with us." Duan Mingchen said softly.

"I'm not a bad person." Finally, he explained.

The little girl crouched in the grass and huddled in the dark. After listening to Duan Mingchen's words, she slowly stood up.

"Come on..." Duan Mingchen led the little girl step by step toward the fire.

Qiao Lan saw a dark figure slowly walking over from a distance. The dim firelight illuminated the little girl's face brightly and softly.

Qiao Lan looked at her for a few times and saw that this little girl was quite pretty.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for triggering the hidden mission!]

[The strength of the motherland cannot be separated from the strength of the collective! The host is asked to gather a team of fifty people within three days and work together to complete one thing! The task reward is fifty pounds of steamed buns! Fifty points for the task!]

…………

Qiao Lan was speechless for a long time due to this sudden task.

Fifty steamed buns...

"Are all rewards based on the number of people on the mission?"

[This is natural! One hero has three gangs, and three stooges are better than Zhuge Liang. Host, the cause of strengthening the motherland can never be completed by one person. You must work hard to unite your collective and lead them to strengthen the motherland together.

"hehe."

The phrase "haha" in modern young people's social life means that someone wants to end the conversation.

[Host, are you happy? The system is also very happy! You can quickly accumulate points by completing tasks quickly. Besides, it is very dangerous for your family to escape. It is better to bring more people and escape together! This way, the road will be safer. 】

Qiao Lan stopped paying attention to the system and left its nagging behind.

She must know that people are safer in large numbers! But people’s hearts are separated by their belly!

How do you know whether the passerby next to you is a human or a ghost?

It was not uncommon for people to abandon their wives, daughters, and the elderly at times like this. The little girl in front of me was abandoned by others.

It seems fine for a few days now, but in the future, when they are short of food and clothing, their family will become a big fat sheep in the eyes of others.

Even if they take ten thousand steps back, the people they meet along the way are all good people.

But are people willing to unite with her? And do something together.

Is this system task really meant to embarrass her?

The little girl's hair was messy, and her brocade clothes only showed her embarrassment. She stood there and couldn't stop pulling at the corners of her clothes.

Qiao Lan's eyes shifted to the little girl in front of her, and she tried her best to look kind and asked, "What's your name?"

But Qiao Lan didn't know that it was okay if she didn't smile. When she smiled, the wrinkles on her face suddenly appeared, making it even more eerie and terrifying under the firelight.

"My...my name is Feiyan," the little girl said hesitantly.

"Where are your parents? Where are the people at home?" Qiao Lan asked one after another.

"My... mother... is dead, and dad... dad is missing. Is there no one left in my family?" the little girl said, grabbing her sleeves.

Duan Mingjing's face was full of surprise, "Isn't it your mother who got off the car with you today?"

The little girl shook her head.

Also, if it were your own flesh and blood, how could you bear to push him off the bus?

But then again, "What's your relationship with that family?"

"It was my uncle who sent me there and asked me to follow them." The little girl explained the whole story as expected.

"Then your uncle is really a bad person!" Duan Mingjing sighed.

I thought I was giving my niece a way out, but who would have thought that the child would be lost on the road.

"Feiyan, come to me. Why are you following us?" Qiao Lan asked.

Feiyan looked at Qiao Lan, then at Duan Mingchen, "You... are good people!"

As he said this, the little girl knelt down and kowtowed.

"Grandma, please take...me in...I will be good...obedient, please." The little girl stammered.

This is what her uncle told the family when she sent her to their home.

Her uncle asked her to kowtow and told her that she would be obedient, but she remembered it all.

Qiao Lan was startled by the sudden kneeling, "Get up quickly!"

He knelt down every now and then. Although it was a salute, it was too scary.

When the Duan family woman on the side saw this, she immediately helped the little girl up.

"Little girl, get up quickly, you're quite energetic..." Ms. Liu said honestly.

The little girl knocked hard, and after just a few knocks, her forehead turned green.

Qiao Lan looked at the little girl with a look of helplessness on her face. Although this task was for her to unite others, taking in a child was no small matter.

This kid doesn't look like a bad person. Even if he has ulterior motives, a kid can't cause any trouble.

Now Qiao Lan is a little hesitant...

"I...I have money, please...take me, I, I will give you the money..." Feiyan seemed to notice Qiao Lan's hesitation and said nervously.

He hurriedly took something out of his arms.

She took out a beautifully carved white jade pendant, and then various pearl particles and silver notes appeared from her body.

The Duan family was deceived!

Duan Mingjing is a sharp-eyed person!

Even the Duan family in the past could not easily afford the jade pendant in this girl's hand. However, when fleeing, it is normal to give the little girl something valuable.

If it were him, he would have taken something valuable.

"Please...please...please, I...I want to...live..." With tears in her eyes, the little girl knelt down again.

No matter how hard-hearted Qiao Lan was, she had never been begged directly by such a little girl.

"Mom, let's take her for a ride. You see, she has money and can buy food when she gets there. How about we take her for a ride and charge her some travel expenses?" Duan Mingchen said kindly.

"I...I...give it all to...you..." The little girl handed the things over with trembling hands.
