Seeing Yuan Dutou's burning eyes, Shen Yitian's heart sank.

Good god, is he treating her as the hope of the entire exile team? What's with that slightly pleading look? She's just an exiled prisoner!

"Maybe, I can." She unconsciously pulled a strand of hair in her hand, slid it twice casually, and then put the hair back.

"If Madam Shen is willing, I think it is possible, right?" Yuan Dutou thought for a while and said.

Shen Yitian pursed her lips and didn't respond.

Yuan Dutou stared at it for a while and suddenly understood something.

"Don't worry, Madam Shen, I won't let you work in vain. As long as there is something to eat, you can buy it with money." He said anxiously.

We hadn't eaten much for two days, and the two rabbits and a pheasant we had yesterday were just enough to satisfy our hunger.

With such a large group of people not having eaten for two days, Yuan Dutou felt that these people could eat a pig.

There is no staple food to fill your stomach in this mountain, so you can only rely on eating meat.

Shen Yitian naturally knew this, and she sighed deeply.

"Then, after we go down the mountain, can I go shopping with you?" She thought about it and put forward her own conditions.

She was not a saint, but she really couldn't just watch these people starve to death while guarding the supplies in her own space.

Especially since most of these people are elderly and children.

Since I can't just watch so many people starve to death, I might as well try to gain some benefits for myself, which can be considered an equal exchange.

"Okay, that's no problem. Everything is fine as long as you don't run away." Yuan Dutou agreed immediately.

"Okay, then I'll think of a way to see if I can get something to eat for everyone." Shen Yitian thought about it and agreed to it.

There is actually a lot of food in her space. Not to mention these dozens of people, she would have food even if more people came.

It’s just that many things are inconvenient to take out.

She has no shortage of grains, oil, rice, flour, etc., but it seems strange to take them out here.

After much thought, she could only take some rabbits and fruits, and at most some potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc.

"Then, I'll have someone go with you to look for him? Don't worry, I'll keep my mouth shut and won't reveal the man's origins." Yuan Dutou was worried that Shen Yitian couldn't carry so many things by herself, so he said considerately.

Shen Yitian waved her hands repeatedly: "No, no, I can do it myself!"

Finally, he remembered something and said, "Don't worry, Captain Yuan. I sprained my ankle and can't walk far. I can't escape this mountain. Besides, I won't joke with the lives of my entire Shen family. I won't run away."

Are you kidding? She was going to take something out of the space later. It would be okay if someone followed her, but then the secret would be seen by someone.

Yuan Dutou looked at her meaningfully and paused.

"Your family loves you so much, and they've tried every possible way to help you and keep you well fed along the way. I don't think you'd disregard their lives. You know better than me what will happen to the Shen family if you escape during exile, especially for such a serious crime as yours."

Seeing that Shen Yitian's expression remained unchanged, he waved his hand and said, "Thank you for your hard work. I will ask the prisoners to collect some money for you. Your hard work will not be in vain."

Shen Yitian originally wanted to say no, but then she thought, why not?

They had nothing to eat, not no money, and she wasn't going to sell the food at exorbitant prices.

It’s neither too much nor too little. She is also an exiled prisoner. Why should she provide food and drink for these people for free?

Although she got benefits from Yuan Dutou, there is no reason for those prisoners to eat for free!

Thinking of this, she nodded: "Okay, Yuan Dutou will do whatever you want."

Yuan Dutou nodded, then turned around and asked Xiao Yu and the others to call the prisoners to gather.

After Yuan Dutou led a group of people to the cave where they stayed yesterday, Shen Yitian dragged her sprained leg and walked away. She planned to go to the cave they visited in the morning again.

She would wait until she was close to the crowd and before turning the corner to take the things out of the space. This would not only avoid being seen by others, but also save her the energy of carrying things a long distance. It was the best of both worlds.

However, it was really too difficult for her, a lame person, to walk such a long distance.

It was not dark yet, so it was not too dangerous for her to be alone here. So she walked for a while and took a break. She walked until dark and finally reached the other entrance of the cave.

Following the procedure during the day, she swiftly took out a flashlight to illuminate the area, but this time she took out not a pistol for self-defense, but a small dagger the length of her palm.

She had bought that dagger specifically for self-defense. It was originally intended for use in the apocalypse, so it was naturally very sharp and easy to use.

Moreover, this small dagger is quite compact, so it is no problem for her to hold the dagger with the hand that holds the flashlight, and her other hand can be free to use crutches.

Having walked through it once before, she was not as timid as she was in the morning, but she still felt a little nervous.

She was alone in such a dark and silent environment, it would be a lie to say she wasn't nervous.

Fortunately, nothing happened along the way. She kept walking along the road and soon saw that the cave corridor was getting wider and wider.

Just when she thought she could easily reach the remains of the fire from that morning, she suddenly saw a faint red light flashing in front of her.

Shen Yitian was shocked and quickly turned off the flashlight. As expected, the fire became more obvious after the flashlight was turned off.

She squeezed the dagger in her hand and silently estimated the distance from here to the other exit of the cave.

It's said that we have to turn several corners to get there, and the firelight over there shouldn't be able to reach us.

Unless they knew that there was no one in the cave and went deeper into it.

But compared to the inside, it is obviously more spacious outside. It doesn't make sense for them to leave the spacious place unused and instead squeeze everyone into a smaller space.

For a moment, she was in a dilemma.

Just as she was hesitating whether to leave, a voice suddenly came from far away.

"Who's there?" When she heard the first word, the voice was still far away, but when she heard the last word, the voice seemed to be right in front of her.

Shen Yitian pursed her lips, estimated where the sound came from, and suddenly turned on the flashlight.

At the same time, the other hand threw away the dead wood in its hand, pulled out the small dagger and held it horizontally in front of him.

The man was dazzled by her flashlight and subconsciously covered his eyes with his elbows.

Shen Yitian's eyes were fierce. She thought that if this man dared to come over, she would definitely stab him in the vitals with a dagger.

But the next second, her hand holding the dagger relaxed.

"It's you!" She exclaimed with a hint of excitement in her voice that she didn't even notice.

The man put down his hand after hearing this, but his face was still blank.

It's not his fault. He was suddenly blinded by Shen Yitian's extremely bright flashlight. It was normal that his eyes went dark and he couldn't see the person behind the flashlight.

"It's me. You saved me this morning and gave me pancakes. Remember?" Shen Yitian excitedly waved the dagger twice.

After waving the flashlight, I saw that the man was frowning and looked uncomfortable, so I quickly pointed the flashlight in another direction.

"You haven't come down the mountain yet. That's great. Can you tell me where the way down the mountain is?" Shen Yitian continued to ask excitedly.
