Just as he was about to continue trying, he heard footsteps outside the yard, and it sounded like there were two people.
"Just put the food here." said a boy's voice.
"I wonder how long Brother God will stay in there. He hasn't come out for more than ten days." A soft and tender girl asked timidly.
"Shh! Ling'er, keep your voice down. Sister Ying said that the immortal brother is in seclusion and we can't disturb him. Let's leave quickly after putting the things away." The boy continued.
When Shen Luo heard this, his eyebrows twitched, and he jumped out of the pool, while making a gesture with his hands.
All the water in his clothes flew away from his body and became dry in an instant. The scattered water droplets merged into one in front of him, turned into a water rope, shot out, and opened the courtyard door.
Two children, one tall and one short, were standing outside the door. One of them was a little boy wearing a tattered blue cloth shirt. He was holding a bamboo basket in his hand, which contained the little fish that he had seen before.
The other one was a little girl with pigtails and red patched clothes. She looked a year or two younger than Xiaoyu, with a pair of big watery eyes on her rosy face.
Seeing the door suddenly open, they were both startled. The little girl Ling'er subconsciously hid behind the little boy, leaving only her two big eyes looking out.
"Brother God, we are here to bring you food. We don't mean to disturb you. We will leave immediately." Xiaoyu reacted quickly. She put the basket in her hand on the ground, bowed to Shen Luo, and was about to leave while holding Ling'er's hand.
"Wait a moment." Shen Luo called out to the two of them, and in a flash he arrived at the gate of the courtyard.
He opened the lid of the basket, and inside were two light yellow cakes and a small pot filled with some white soup, which seemed to be broth, and it was still steaming.
He frowned slightly. Although he had not seen the meals of other villagers, these noodles and meat soup were definitely much better than those of most people in the village.
"Xiao Yu, please tell Ying Luo that you don't have to send food every day. Just send an ordinary meal every ten days. Leave the food for other people in need." Shen Luo said to Xiao Yu.
He has now entered the initial stage of fasting and has even less demand for grains. In fact, he cannot use such good and large amounts of food.
"Okay, I'll tell Sister Ying." Xiaoyu nodded, and Ling'er blinked her big black and white eyes a few times, as if she didn't quite understand what Shen Luo meant.
"Here are the foods for you." Shen Luo smiled and placed the basket in front of the two of them.
When the two children saw the bread and broth in the basket, their throats rolled and the little girl's stomach even growled twice.
"Brother God, these are your rations. You and Sister Ying fought fiercely with the monsters for the village. How can we eat your food?" Xiaoyu also swallowed his saliva, resisted the urge to look at the food, and still shook his head.
Shen Luo looked at Xiaoyu deeply, and his heart moved slightly.
When he first saw Xiaoyu that day, he felt that this boy was not only responsible, but also spoke in an orderly manner when facing him. He was an intelligent child with a strong character.
"Although I'm not an immortal who doesn't eat or drink, I don't have to eat every day like you do. One meal every ten days or so is enough. If you eat too much, your stomach will hurt. Ouch~" He frowned and put his hand on his lower abdomen, pretending to have a stomachache.
