In fact, during the previous journey, she had the opportunity to take advantage of the darkness to take a look at the cities she passed. However, considering that some of the guards might be harmful to her, she gave up the idea.

Before you have enough strength to protect yourself, acting rashly can easily cause trouble.

Fortunately, all the officers who escorted them have left without missing a single one, and they don't have to continue their journey. Now is the perfect time to go out and investigate the situation.

Nian told Tie Niu about his ideas, but Tie Niu did not agree with this move.

"A-Nian, there are so many people watching over us outside, and we are not familiar with the surrounding environment. It is too dangerous for you to go out alone like this..."

"Brother Tieniu, I will be careful."

Tieniu thought for a moment and suggested, "How about I go with you?"

Nian shook his head, "The goal for two people is too big, and we don't know the situation outside. So, if I can go out smoothly this time, I will ask Brother Tie Niu to go with me next time. This time, Tie Niu will go first.

Brother Niu, please help me cover up so that no one else finds me."

After her reminder, Tieniu just remembered that one of the two of them needed to stay behind to cover the person leaving.

He then waved his hand and said: "No, no, actually I don't really want to go out, but if you go out, you must remember to come back in time. I'm still waiting for A Nian to tell me about the situation outside.

"

"Okay! It's a deal!"

After the brother and sister communicated during the day, Nian sneaked into the room where the guards were on duty in the evening while everyone was eating.

She needs to find some topographic maps, or defense layout maps, or something like that, which would be more convenient for her actions. It's not her style to rush outside unprepared.

And when Uncle Song and others were queuing up for food and discovered that Nian was missing and asked where she was, Tieniu was a little embarrassed.

From the bottom of his heart, he didn't want to lie to friendly elders like Uncle Song, but when he thought about the New Year's reminder, if one more person knew about it, it would be more dangerous.

He calmed himself down, said without blushing or out of breath: "A-Nian went to the latrine. He seems to have some diarrhea."

The others were not suspicious of this, but Uncle Song glanced at him with a smile, then turned his head as if nothing had happened and continued to line up for food.

Did Uncle Song see something?

Tieniu was a little panicked, but after he calmed down, he subconsciously denied his guess. There should be nothing wrong with his performance just now, and Uncle Song probably wouldn't notice anything. He was just scaring himself.

Just at this time, Nian came from the direction of the hut.

When Uncle Song saw her approaching, he opened his mouth and said: "A Nian is back. Children should drink less cold water in the future. Drinking too much will cause diarrhea. I have warned you many times before. Look, you are in trouble this time.

Come on, zip it up again."

Nian was stunned by these words.

In fact, she rarely drank cold water. Most of the time, she used an earthen pot to heat hot water on the firewood. But as soon as she heard Uncle Song's words, he blinked rapidly at her a few times, and then

He nodded and said: "I know Uncle Song, I will drink it hot from now on."

"Oh! That's right!"

The queue for food was very long, and Tieniu and others hadn't queued up yet, and their seats were at the back. So when the new year came, I stood behind Tieniu.

Tieniu turned around and looked back at her, with a questioning look in his eyes.

Nian smiled at him and nodded slightly. Tieniu guessed that she should have seen some useful information, turned around calmly, and continued to line up.
