Emperor Qiankun

Gusu Rou led Li Qingyuan and others slowly into the tunnel.

The tunnel was pitch black, as if it was a bottomless black hole. Everywhere you looked was darkness, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you.

Li Qingyuan reacted quickly and took out a 'fire stone' from the space ring.

In an instant, soft light filled the entire tunnel.

The sudden light startled the women in the tunnel.

They stood up hurriedly, their eyes all staring towards the light, their eyes full of fear and anxiety.

In this depressing atmosphere, an older woman with a pale complexion and slightly messy hair stood up.

Her voice was trembling and uncertain, "Madam?"

Gusu Rou quickly responded after hearing the voice: "It's me, sister-in-law."

......

The woman called "Sister-in-law" quickly walked up to Gusu Rou, grabbed her hand and said, "I was really scared. Fortunately, you are safe."

It turned out that half a month ago, the food stored in the tunnel had been consumed.

For the past half month, everyone has been stuck in the quagmire of hunger, suffering the torture of an empty stomach.

Gusu Rou, the mistress of the Li family, saw this predicament and decided to go out to find food a few days ago without hesitation.

However, the freezing cold weather outside was undoubtedly a further blow to Gusu Rou, who was already in poor health.

She struggled for several days, but found no food and ran out of strength, fainting in the main hall.

......

"mother?"

Suddenly, Li Muqiu's voice sounded in the tunnel, with a hint of surprise.

The woman in front of him with a slightly haggard face was none other than Xu Shan, the wife of Li Sen, the eldest elder of the Li family.

"Qiu'er?"

Xu Shan also heard the familiar call, her voice trembling slightly.

"mother......"

Li Muqiu walked forward excitedly and opened his arms to hug his mother.

But when Xu Shan saw that she was covered in dust, she couldn't help but take a step back. "Why are you back?"

"Auntie."

Li Qingyuan spoke, breaking the slightly awkward atmosphere.

......

"Yuan'er? You're back?"

When Xu Shan heard Li Qingyuan's voice, she hurried towards him, tears welling up in her eyes. "Yuan'er, your uncle is gone. You have to avenge him!"

Xu Shan looked at Li Qingyuan. Although he was still young, he had a tall and straight figure, which made her feel inexplicably at ease.

Li Qingyuan nodded heavily and answered firmly: "Of course!"

At this time, the other women in the tunnel also gathered around, and the originally quiet tunnel suddenly became very lively.

They asked about the situation outside at once, their words filled with anxiety and uneasiness.

But each of their faces was sickly pale, with no blood at all.

These are the traces left by being trapped in this tunnel without sunlight for a long time and suffering from hunger.

......

Seeing the scene in front of her, Su Yaoyue took light steps and slowly walked forward.

She raised her jade hand lightly, and two space rings appeared between her slender white fingers.

As the light flashed, a large amount of supplies and resources appeared in front of everyone in an instant.

Among these supplies are nutritious foods with tempting aromas.

There were also some precious tonics, round and shiny pills, etc. The variety of items was so great that the women of the Li family were dazzled.

When Li Qingyuan saw this scene, he immediately understood.

Su Yaoyue took out all the items she bought on the way back to Heishan Town.

This made Li Qingyuan feel warm and grateful in his heart.

......

At this time, a cute little girl about six or seven years old was attracted by what Su Yaoyue took out.

She approached timidly with small steps, her eyes fixed on the food.

Su Yaoyue smiled at the little girl and said gently, "Come here, little sister. Let me give you a delicious deer leg, okay?"

As she spoke, she picked out a golden and crispy roasted deer leg from the many foods and handed it to the little girl.

But the little girl shook her head firmly and said, "No, sister. My mother and the others haven't eaten yet. I can't eat first!"

Her big, clear eyes sparkled with understanding and cleverness.

Seeing this, Su Yaoyue did not feel angry or disappointed because of the little girl's rejection.

On the contrary, her smile became more friendly and warm.

She patiently coaxed him, "It's okay, just eat it. I still have plenty here."

......

When the little girl heard Su Yaoyue's words, her pink lips unconsciously smacked twice.

There was a hint of anticipation in her sparkling eyes, and a trace of crystal saliva flashed at the corner of her mouth.

Then, with a bit of shyness and joy, she said in a baby voice, "Thank you, sister."

Then he stretched out his two little hands and carefully took the deer leg.

However, she did not eat it immediately. Instead, she turned around and walked to a young woman with small steps, raised the deer leg high and handed it to the woman.

The young woman had a pretty face and her eyes and eyebrows were somewhat similar to the little girl. I think she must be the little girl's mother.

She first smiled gently and shook her head, then gently reached out to take the deer leg. Her slender fingers skillfully tore off a small piece of tender deer leg meat and slowly fed it into the little girl's mouth.

The little girl's cheeks were bulging with food, and the corners of her mouth were stained with oil, making her look like a greedy little cat.

The young woman looked at the little girl with a wider smile on her face. She picked up the handkerchief lovingly and gently wiped the oil stains from the corners of the little girl's mouth.

This heartwarming scene was like a ray of warm light, dispelling the long-standing gloom and dullness in the tunnel.

......

At this time, Xu Shan noticed Su Yaoyue's kindness and asked, "Who is this girl?"

Hearing the question, Li Qingyuan quickly replied: "She is my friend."

"friend?"

Xu Shan raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Li Qingyuan meaningfully.

Then he walked quickly to Su Yaoyue with a friendly smile, and said with gratitude, "Miss, thank you."

Su Yaoyue was a little overwhelmed by Xu Shan's sudden thanks.

Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she replied shyly, "No...it's okay, aunt."

"Auntie?"

Xu Shan was stunned at first, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"Well, no, big..."

Su Yaoyue also realized that her address might be a bit abrupt, and she looked a little flustered and hurriedly wanted to change her words.
