Ning Yue handed the water bag and dry biscuits to Ning Bai. “Chief, take these. I don’t have much left at home. I brought them back after escaping death.”
Ning Bai took it and his expression changed.
This usually strong man was so touched that tears streamed down his face. He pulled his wife and wanted to kneel down to Ning Yue’s family again.
“Chief, no!” Ning Yue grabbed Ning Bai and stopped him.
“Yueyue, you’re a blessed child. We’re all here thanks to you. If you need me in the future, just let me know!” Ning Bai’s voice was trembling.
Ning Yue pretended to be troubled. “Chief, don’t be like this. If others see it and ask me for it, I won’t be able to give it to them!”
She knew very well that human nature could not stand the test. Once people thought that she was tied to her morals and saw she had something to help Ning Bai’s family, they would think she should also help someone else’s family. That would be the end.

Hearing Ning Yue’s words, Ning Bai immediately reacted.
He rose to dry his tears and put his things away. “Okay, let’s keep going!”
Ning Yue nodded and followed behind with Old Master Ning and the others.
Suddenly, Aunt Qu came to Ning Yue’s side and sighed. “Yueyue, it’s not that Aunt is stingy, but it’s a huge drain on us to give so much to the village chief and the others in one go.”
Madam Qu’s words made sense. If there was really a shortage of food, not to mention a bowl of water, they might not even be able to give a mouthful of water. Otherwise, the next to die of thirst and hunger might be their family.
However, Ning Yue did not lack food. The supplies that everyone yearned for were piled up in her space, so she could not watch any innocent person starve or die of thirst.
In her previous life, she had served the country and the people and firmly believed that good and evil would be repaid. In this life, she still had her original intention.
Perhaps God had asked her to bring a supply space over so that she could save everyone.
“Aunt, it’s fine. There’s always a way out. We’ll find food.” Ning Yue smiled and comforted Madam Qu.
Eldest Brother Ning also heard his wife’s words. As a man, he was the most loyal. He immediately walked over and pulled Madam Qu over to scold her. “Stop talking!”
Madam Qu also knew that her words sounded selfish, so she lowered her head and did not speak.
At this moment, Xiaobao and Xiaobei, who were in the arms of her two younger brothers, started crying. They were probably hungry. Ning Yue took one child and the other was carried by her mother, Madam He.
The two of them slowed down a little. Ning Yue took out the bottle in the tattered clothes. It was filled with milk. She fed half of it to Xiaobao and fed the other half to Xiaobei.
Madam He had seen this thing last night and had no questions.
After drinking the milk, Xiaobao and Xiaobei burped contentedly and smiled obediently at Ning Yue and Madam He. Their eyes were sparkling and beautiful.
Ning Yue felt that these two children didn’t look much like her. They seemed to be more beautiful and exquisite than her.
Their biological father was probably quite handsome but there was no memory of his biological father.

Ning Yue was carrying Xiaobao. The mother and daughter walked at the back of the group and chatted casually.
Suddenly, a strange stench entered Ning Yue’s nose. She immediately stopped in her tracks. “Wait!”
“What is it?” He sounded surprised.
Not far ahead were the villagers of the Ning Family Village. Ning Yue’s family was at the back of the entire group. Everyone was relatively scattered. Some were faster and walked in front, while others were slower and fell behind. There was a distance between them.
“It’s the stench of a corpse!” Ning Yue quickly covered the child’s mouth and nose with her hand.
The stench of corpses in the air was accompanied by waves of hot wind. Ning Yue was very familiar with this smell. In the cases she had been involved in in the past, there was no lack of rotting corpses.
Madam He stopped too, looking panicked. “What? The corpse stinks!”
“Yes, we have to inform everyone!” Ning Yue stuffed Xiaobao into Madam He’s hands and jogged to Ning Bai’s side. “Village Chief, immediately inform everyone to cover their mouths and noses with rags. There must be a lot of corpses ahead. A large number of corpses must be breeding a plague. Everyone must try not to come into contact with any corpses, eat any food or water in that area, and pass quickly!”
Ning Bai also smelled the stench. He looked ahead solemnly, then stopped the strong men. “Go and inform everyone. When you pass the corpses in front, cover your mouth and nose with fabric. Don’t touch the corpses. Don’t eat any food or water there! Go!”
A few strong men immediately jogged over to inform everyone.
