I had to rest three or four times on the way, and only just managed to get to the city. Do I really have to take them all back home?"
A glint of shrewdness flashed in the old lady's eyes as she leaned closer to Feng Qingxue and asked in a low voice, "You brought eggs and bacon?"
The three old ladies sunbathing with her also leaned over, pricking up their ears.
