"Mother...mother just cooked for us."

Sanni on the side also immediately said: "Yes, Dad, mother has been taking care of us all the way. Even if her hands are injured, she still cooks for us."

Of course Xiang Jiuling's injury was not caused while cooking, but the wound would be discovered sooner or later, so she lied to the children.

The little girl didn't know the actual situation, so she said in an innocent tone: "The wound on my mother's hand is so long, when will it heal? Can I just give her a blow and it will be fine?"

"I know, daddy, just go and get some ointment for your mother to rub on."

Wen Xi sighed silently and reached out to touch Sanni's little head.

After carefully thinking about what happened in the past two days, he didn't find that her hand was injured? When did this happen? Is there really a misunderstanding?

Wen Xi naturally did not think that Xiang Jiuling was as vicious as Mrs. Ji said. If she was really that cold-hearted, she would not care about the lives of the children.

There were countless people fleeing the famine, and there were even more people who sold their sons and daughters. Not only did she not have any thoughts, but she also bothered about their food and drink. I'm afraid he was overthinking it.

He didn't find it strange that Xiang Jiuling did such a thing in the past, but he always felt that she wouldn't do such a thing with her now.

Xiang Jiuling was cooking in the evening. The injury on her hand was simply bandaged and not treated carefully. From time to time, she felt a stinging pain.

But compared with those thrills, this is nothing?

When Wen Xi walked in, his eyes unconsciously paused on Xiang Jiuling's hand: "They were all hurt, why didn't you say anything?"

"You...how do you know?"

As soon as Xiang Jiuling finished speaking, he realized that the children must have told him this, otherwise how could he notice it?

"You are still cooking when you are injured. If I ask you to carry a stone now, you can carry it. If you refuse to tell the truth, it is as if it is costing your life."

Wen Xi saw the wound on her palm and knew at a glance that it was caused by a sharp blade. He made some sarcastic remarks but got up and went to find medicine for her.

To put it bluntly, he is soft-spoken and soft-hearted.

"Actually... I picked up those things."

Xiang Jiuling only said this, and it is also true.

She just didn't want him to know about the horse bandits. If he impulsively wanted to find them, those people were all vicious and ruthless, and it would not be a good thing to confront them.

And it would be easier to reveal her identity, because she killed one of them before leaving, and those horse bandits should still be looking for her at this moment.

…

The leader turned livid with anger: "She can't run far away with a woman and a child. Why can't she find anyone after searching for so long?"

"There is a cliff over there. Maybe the two of them have fallen off the cliff and died."

The leader's face was full of anger: "She died so easily, wouldn't it be an advantage to her!"

The thought of Lao Liu's tragic death made his finger bones crackle.

It seems that he underestimated that woman. She could kill people in such a short period of time and hide with her children. She was obviously not a simple person.

He slowly narrowed his eyes: "Okay, let's rest for a while and then continue to search. Don't ask me to search, or I will break her bones."

If Dabao saw his expression, he would definitely be frightened and cry again.

Xiang Jiuling wasn't worried about any horse bandits coming. After all, they took a detour, and they couldn't stay in this area for a long time. After all, the officers and soldiers were strictly checking.

No matter how hard they thought, they never imagined that she would be in this small village.

"Okay, let's apply the medicine first and then talk."

Wen Xi's voice pulled Xiang Jiuling back from her thoughts, and she happened to meet Dabao's worried eyes.

She knew what the child was thinking. He must be thinking, why didn't he tell the truth until now?

But she has her own considerations. If she speaks out, Mrs. Ji will have nothing to do.

Now the whole village misunderstood her as a thief. If Mrs. Ji knew about the horse bandit again, she would definitely say uglier words and even take the opportunity to ask the family to leave the army.

The old lady is very talkative. She can call a dead horse a living horse. She seems to have nothing serious to do, so she only knows how to make irresponsible remarks and sow discord.

She was too lazy to deal with this kind of person. It was better to do less than to do more.

Seeing the children looking at her, Xiang Jiuling could only smile at the little guy and said softly: "Just wait a moment, the meal will be ready later."

Wen Xi is still looking for medicine.

Looking at his serious back, Xiang Jiuling didn't say anything, but she felt extremely happy in her heart, and the corners of her mouth slowly raised.

"Mom, you finally smiled, it's so great!"

Sanni always spoke innocently and cutely, and when she saw Xiang Jiuling smiling, she also became happy.

The little girl didn't know much about stealing. She only knew that it was wrong to take other people's things. But in her mind, those things were picked up from the mountains and were not considered stolen at all.

But she was young and didn't know how to explain it, so she could only be anxious.

Although they were just children, they all knew that Xiang Jiuling was sad because Wen Xi suspected of a quarrel. Now that they saw the two reconciled, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Dabao's tense nerves also relaxed.

Thinking of what happened before, he was still a little afraid to know that his mother had been misunderstood by others and had been spread rumors by Mrs. Ji, which made him feel even more uncomfortable.

Erbao also followed suit, and his tone was extremely excited: "Mom and dad are finally reconciled, that's great!"

Listening to the children's cheers, Xiang Jiuling's face turned red, and her heart felt as if a pebble had been dropped, causing ripples in her heart.

"Okay, stop talking and get ready to eat."

In fact, Xiang Jiuling was also a little worried, worried that Wen Xi had really believed those rumors.

To be honest, those rumors are really ridiculous, and they are becoming more and more unseemly as they spread. What’s even more frightening is that some people still believe them.

Wen Xi had his own judgment. Although he suspected that the items were stolen, he did not think in other directions, nor did he expect that the matter would spread so widely.

Several children were still making noises there. There was a smile in Xiang Jiuling's eyes, and she couldn't help but pat Dabao on the head.

Dabao straightened his back at this moment, with an expression that seemed to say, don't worry, he will never tell the secret between them.

This serious look successfully made Xiang Jiuling laugh, and the family happily sat down to eat together.

As the number of days of survival increases, the number of times Xiang Jiuling's consciousness space can be used gradually increases, but she does not dare to blatantly take out too many things, and can only secretly take out some useful daily necessities, so the life of the family is considered

I lived a relatively fulfilling life.
