During my escape from famine, I survived by eavesdropping on the whispers of food.

"Hmm." Qin Shuangshuang affirmed his words, then pulled him up. "The wild beast should be far away. Don't be too afraid. With your sister here, nothing will happen to you."

After Qin Hao stood up, Qin Shuangshuang patted him on the shoulder and put the fallen bamboo shoots back into the bamboo basket.

She slung the bamboo basket over her shoulder, gripped Qin Hao's hand tightly, and said, "Let's go back and tell them about the wild animals."

Before they could find their group, a wild boar charged in front of them.

When he actually saw something frightening, Qin Hao couldn't even lift his legs. He swallowed hard and whispered, "Sister, what do we do now?"

Will the wild boar eat them both?

Qin Shuangshuang gripped Qin Hao's hand tighter, looking at the enormous creature in front of her; she was clearly a little nervous.

If we want to subdue the wild boar, we need to call for reinforcements. Qin Shuangshuang said without blinking, "I'll go and distract the wild boar. You run back to the team and call Lu Jun."

Qin Hao dared not abandon Qin Shuangshuang. His sister had finally recovered from her mental lapse, and he couldn't let her get into trouble because of a wild boar.

In a moment of desperation, he made a decision: "A real man will stay here. Sister, go find reinforcements."

The sudden act of righteousness left Qin Shuangshuang helpless.

She has a spatial dimension; if the wild boar really charges at her, she can hide inside it and nothing will happen.

Glancing at the wild boar that had crashed through the trees, Qin Shuangshuang stopped discussing with Qin Hao and ran directly into the woods in the opposite direction.

As soon as Qin Shuangshuang ran, the wild boar followed.

Qin Hao gripped the bamboo basket anxiously, watching the wild boar relentlessly chasing his sister. Frustrated, he had no choice but to go back and get reinforcements.

"Where's your sister? Why did you come back by yourself?" Zhou Shi took the bamboo basket, wiped Qin Hao's sweat, and asked him where Qin Shuangshuang had gone.

Before he could speak to her, Qin Hao brushed aside Zhou's hand wiping away her sweat and ran toward Lu Jun, who was sleeping against a tree.

He gasped for breath, "Hurry, you have to go save my sister, she..."

Upon hearing that something was wrong with her daughter, Zhou threw down the bamboo basket and anxiously asked Qin Hao, who could barely speak clearly, "Tell me quickly, what happened to your sister?"

"She's been targeted by a wild boar." Qin Hao exclaimed several times before he could finish speaking.

"What?" She grabbed him tightly, her heart pounding with anxiety. "Lead the way, I'm going to save your sister."

Qin Hao hurriedly pulled Lu Jun away, glancing back at her, "Mother, Lu Jun and I will go, we will bring my sister back."

On the way, Lu Jun had no time to pay attention to anything else; he grabbed Qin Hao and quickly followed the path he pointed out.

"That's the intersection. That's where we encountered the wild boar. My sister ran to the left." Seeing the fork in the road, Qin Hao quickly pointed to the left, urging him to go there.

Before they even turned the corner, they heard a painful scream. Lu Jun frowned and grabbed Qin Hao as they rushed over.

Finally, they found Qin Shuangshuang and were so shocked by the sight of the wild boar lying in front of her that they were speechless.

Their expressions were more exaggerated than the last. Qin Shuangshuang patted them on the shoulder and said, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and carry this wild boar back. We can eat pork today."

Qin Hao suppressed his horror and pointed at the wild boar. "Sister, did you kill the wild boar? How did you kill it?"

Wasn't he supposed to go get reinforcements? How come the reinforcements were brought, but the wild boar is dead?

Qin Shuangshuang clenched her fist. "You believe I killed you with one punch?"

She was trying to fool him, but Qin Hao actually believed her. He immediately turned into a little fanboy, staring intently at Qin Shuangshuang's fists, "Sister, when did you become a strongwoman?"

Standing in front of the wild boar, Lu Jun almost believed that he had killed it under Qin Shuangshuang's fearless gaze, but when he saw the boar's hind legs, his lips twitched.

"Are you sure you killed the wild boar, or that it wasn't already injured?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Hao immediately withdrew his admiring gaze, and Qin Shuangshuang stopped teasing them and pointed at the wild boar, telling the truth.

"I hadn't even run two steps when the wild boar collapsed to the ground, looking like it was about to die. It seems to be badly injured."

Lu Jun lifted the wild boar by its hind legs, looked at it for a few moments, and then nodded. "The wounds on its body were inflicted by other wild animals. It's barely clinging to life. Qin Hao, come here, let's carry the wild boar back."

Why not take free food, especially since it's from a wild boar?

They carried the wild boar lying on the ground and headed towards where the group was.

"Shuangshuang's mother, your daughter is a lucky girl. Even if she really encounters a wild boar, she will be able to escape. Don't scare yourself anymore. Eat something to fill your stomach first."

In the line, an old woman comforted Zhou and gave her a piece of bread.

When Qin Shuangshuang returned, Zhou's tears kept welling up. She was eating the dry, hard biscuit numbly, which made Zhou's heart ache.

"Mom, stop eating. We caught a wild boar. We're having roast meat today."

When the others saw the wild boar behind them, they all rushed forward to see it, their faces beaming with joy.

Zhou, who was standing to the side, hugged Qin Shuangshuang and wept, saying, "From now on, no one will be with you. You can no longer go to the mountains alone to find food."

She was terrified today. Her daughter was no longer mentally challenged, and their lives would get better and better from now on. If her daughter had been killed in the mountains, she wouldn't have been able to go on living.

"Okay." If she didn't agree, Zhou would keep crying, so Qin Shuangshuang had no choice but to say, "From now on, I will tell my mother where I go and I will find someone to accompany me."

After the crying stopped, Qin Shuangshuang went to see the wild boar.

"I also picked a lot of bamboo shoots. I'll make stir-fried bamboo shoots with pork first, and then roast pork later."

Without further ado, Qin Shuangshuang pulled Qin Hao to start a fire, and they began cooking with a crackling sound.

Lu Jun stood with his arms crossed for a while, then disappeared into the darkness.

After finishing the stir-fried bamboo shoots with meat, Qin Shuangshuang piled up firewood to roast the meat. Just as the men put the wild boar on the grill, Lu Jun returned with a few fish.

Qin Shuangshuang took the fish, looked Lu Jun up and down, and asked, "There are no streams around here, where did you get this fish?"

Could it be that Lu Jun also has a spatial dimension? And the fish was taken from his spatial dimension?

If that's the case, could he also be a time traveler?

Lu Jun coldly interrupted her whimsical thoughts, "While you were cooking, I went out for a walk and found a river, so I just caught a few fish."

"Oh."

It turns out it wasn't transmitted from elsewhere, and there's no space for it either. That's quite disappointing.

Qin Shuangshuang found some clean tree branches, skewered the fish on them, and sat down by the fire to start grilling them.

Soon, the aroma of barbecue began to waft through the air, and those waiting to eat the meat wiped their mouths, their eyes fixed intently on the meat.

After the first fish was grilled, Qin Shuangshuang gave it to Lu Jun.

"Want to try some? It looks pretty good."
