C9 First-time Feeding

Mu Nanzhi thought for a while, then took off the cloth that was used to wrap the food, and covered the wild chicken with it, exposing only its small head. Then he let Mu Nanxi carry him, instructing her to go to the coal mine later on and find a place to hide.

Mu Nanxi nodded, indicating that she understood. Carefully hugging the pheasant, he followed closely behind Mu Nanzhi, murmuring under his breath, "Big Flower, Big Flower, don't scream ah. We'll raise you well when we get home."

Mu Nanzhi, who was listening to these childish words, smiled inwardly. This was what a child should look like. The appearance of a young adult yesterday had been really hard on her.

When they arrived at the coal mine, Mu Nanzhi realized that everyone was actually here to deliver food.

After all, it was a hard labor job, and the coal mines did not care about food. Thus, everyone either brought their own food or their families sent them food.

Only Mu Beiwang was eating. He was the only one with a small and dark face. He was squatting in the corner with his eyes closed, resting.

When Mu Nanzhi found him in the crowd, she felt a pang of sadness.

It was the first time the men on the coal mine saw Mu Nanzhi tidied up. In the past, when she was stupid, she was always dirty, so her appearance couldn't be seen clearly. But now, she was clean and clean.

They had heard the news that Mu Nanzhi had recovered this morning, so it wasn't strange for them to see her now.

It was just that she didn't expect Mu Nanzhi to deliver food to Mu Beiwang as soon as she was done.

However, with their current situation, they probably wouldn't have much to eat.

However, it was better than not eating at all. Almost everyone in the coal mine was from the same village. Logically speaking, Mu Beiwang was only 11 years old and shouldn't be here.

However, since he had come, he didn't really get admired. Because he knew that his stamina was limited, he had come two hours earlier and left two hours later. This way, he would have done all the work he needed to do, but he would have received less than half of the money. Everyone didn't care about his disobeying the rules and splitting their work.

As for the matter of eating, everyone had thought about it before, but Mu Beiwang had rejected them all. Every day, he would take a nap at noon to drink some cold water and nibble on a sweet potato.

As time passed, everyone let him go. They would only occasionally give him a fruit, but he wouldn't refuse.

"Sis, why are you here?" Mu Beiwang was very surprised to see his sister carrying a basket to look for him.

"I'll give you something to eat!"

Mu Nanzhi didn't look at Mu Beiwang as she made room for the others with a smile. He took out the toon, egg and sweet potato.

"Quickly, eat!" Mu Nanzhi kept her head down, not looking at Mu Beiwang. To be honest, she felt bad looking at Mu Beiwang's skinny body.

Nanxi had told her just now that Mu Beiwang was sent to school when his parents were still alive, and his knowledge was no worse than Auntie Yun's son next door. If his parents were still here, he could prepare to take the exam now.

But now, he had to come to the mine because he had to shoulder the burden of this family, and in order to pay for the treatment of the original owner's illness.

Mu Nanzhi knew how dangerous the coal mines were. Even in modern times, with such complete security facilities, people would often die, not to mention this ancient era.

Mu Nanzhi secretly made up her mind that she must think of a way to make money by tomorrow at the latest. She wanted Mu Beiwang to stop doing such a dangerous thing.

"Yo, it's different when your Big Sis wakes up." He already had eggs! "Eh, what is this? Smelling that strange fragrance."
