Mo Huiling had gotten naturally hungry a long time ago. Lin Che even ate some noodles in the middle of it all while Mo Huiling didn’t get to eat anything.

Her stomach growled as she went over. She saw Lin Che pick up a steamed cornbread along with some unknown food in her bowl and began to eat ravenously.

However, Mo Huiling could not bring herself to eat.

She looked at the food angrily. “What is all this nonsense? It’s so filthy and hideous. How am I supposed to eat this?”

Lin Che glanced at her and said, “Don’t eat it then. Nobody is forcing you to eat. If you don’t eat, you’ll be hungry and you won’t survive.”

Mo Huiling scoffed.

But her stomach growled again.

She had no other choice. She picked up a piece of black steamed cornbread, went to one side, and took a bite. It was really hard to swallow and it even had a funny taste. She had no idea how she managed to swallow it.

That woman looked at both of them and asked, “Did you two come from the city?”

Lin Che replied, “We came from B City.”

“B City… Oh my, it must be especially huge there. No wonder you don’t like it here. Our village is the most backward place around here.”

Lin Che looked at the woman and asked, “Why don’t you guys go out?”

“There are some who do and they never returned after that. The rest of us here are old, weak, ill, or handicapped. We would be a burden as we have no skills. We wouldn’t know how to live. I heard that it’s a dog-eat-dog world in big cities and only rich people like you can survive there. We can’t. If we go there, we won’t be able to eat or we will be eaten first. At least here, we have a home.”

Someone must have told them this or ingrained this idea in their heads long ago. Lin Che didn’t say anything else. She just smiled and said, “You can always try if you have the chance to. This place is your home anyway. If you can’t make it, you can always come back here. Your home will be here.”

“Look at what you’re wearing and how nice you look. Won’t we get eaten once we go there? We wouldn’t even have the face to show ourselves on your streets. Are the streets there all filled with good-looking people like you?”

“Sis, you think too highly of us. You make it sound so nice. You’re not going to starve in B City.”

She laughed heartily, revealing her teeth. Her smile was dazzling.

At the other side, the few men were discussing what to do with the two women.

They looked at Lin Che. “How did you end up in the forest?”

Lin Che said, “We were kidnapped. They wanted ransom from our families. I took the chance when they weren’t looking and escaped with… her.” Lin Che really couldn’t be bothered to take Mo Huiling with her. She glanced at Mo Huiling who was still sitting there in contempt. Mo Huiling was extremely upset that her clothes were dirty.
