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

When Qin Shuangshuang felt a burning sensation on her face, she reached out and touched it. Sure enough, there was warm blood on her face.

She was so frightened that she dropped the dagger in her hand, and finally couldn't help but swallow hard, pretending to be shocked.

Lu Jun slowly got up from the ground. "Qin Shuangshuang, you did a great job."

Lu Jun then took out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to her. Qin Shuangshuang noticed that there were even some small bamboo leaves on the handkerchief, and she thought that Lu Jun was a humorous person.

She then wiped her face with the handkerchief to calm herself down. For some reason, she smelled the scent of the handkerchief, which gave her a sense of peace.

She looked up and saw Lu Jun observing the wild boar. Not long after, she heard another noise.

Lu Jun gestured for Qin Shuangshuang to shut up. Qin Shuangshuang was curious about what he had heard. After a while, both of their eyes turned to the pile of weeds next to them.

The two of them then went over to the haystack and started to clear it away.

Qin Shuangshuang turned her head and met Lu Jun's face. Both of them unconsciously blushed slightly.

Qin Hao, who was lying on the dry tree stump behind him, suddenly opened his eyes slightly. Looking at the two young people opposite him in this ambiguous scene, he unconsciously closed his eyes again.

Qin Shuangshuang quickly turned her head and looked at the small wild boars in front of her. "I didn't expect there to be wild boars here."

Qin Shuangshuang was overjoyed and said to Lu Jun, "Look, there are five or six, no, seven or eight wild boars here! If we raise them to adulthood, won't we have meat to eat every day?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Jun nodded in agreement, "But you'd better think carefully about what to feed them when you take them back."

Qin Shuangshuang thought for a moment, if she put them in her own space to feed them, who knows, they might eat all the things she had grown.

However, she remembered that the feed would automatically distribute these small animals into the wooden enclosures, but Lu Jun absolutely could not see the scene of them being in their own space.

Qin Shuangshuang turned to look at her younger brother who was leaning against the wooden stake. She said to Lu Jun, "You take your brother down first. I'll see if there's anything to eat around here. Now that we're up here, I'll have to go and look for something."

Lu Jun refused, saying, "You're a young woman wandering around in these deep mountains and forests in the middle of the night. There are already many refugees here. What if you get hurt?"

"Your mother will definitely grab my hand and not let me leave. How am I supposed to explain this to her then?"

Qin Shuangshuang understood this principle, but she still had to find a way to get rid of him and her underlings.

Qin Shuangshuang looked around, then deliberately squatted down and started groping around for something, muttering to herself, "Here, there really are mushrooms here! Great, I didn't expect there to actually be mushrooms here!"

Lu Jun frowned and said, "How could there be mushrooms in such a harsh environment? And have you noticed that there isn't even a blade of grass growing here? How could there possibly be mushrooms?"

Taking advantage of his momentary lapse in attention, Qin Shuangshuang quickly pulled out a Bodhi seed from her spatial storage and said to Lu Jun, "Look what this is! What is this!"

Lu Jun was shocked; he hadn't expected there to actually be mushrooms there. He said to Qin Shuangshuang, "That's strange. Your ability to find food is really getting stronger and stronger. Have you thought this through?"

Are you really going to leave a young woman here alone in the middle of the night looking for food?

Lu Jun's words prompted Qin Shuangshuang to reply without hesitation, "Of course. Now that we're here, everyone is waiting for me to go back. We can't just come all this way, find something to eat, and then turn back. What's there to be afraid of in the middle of the night?"

The moon is gradually rising now, and I see that the surrounding area is overgrown with weeds; who knows what delicious food might be there? I'll go and let everyone try some fresh produce then.

There hasn't been enough food lately.

Seeing Qin Shuangshuang's dejected look, Lu Jun had no choice but to nod and agree, saying, "Then let's do as you say. But you'd better hurry up and catch up, we won't be walking too fast. Also, you can take those wild boars with you later."

"I'm already carrying your brother, which is heavy enough, but if you really can't carry him, just tell me and I'll come and get you. Or I can take him back first and then come back to get you."

At this moment, Qin Shuangshuang quickly nodded and said to him, "Don't worry, I'll catch up soon. I'll handle these small things myself. Don't worry, I guarantee I'll bring back every single one."

Lu Jun carried her little brother and left first. Watching the two of them leave together, Qin Shuangshuang breathed a sigh of relief. Then she went over and put the wild boars into her spatial storage.

She peeked out and explored her own space, noticing that there were now wild boars growing wild vegetables, and a little tiger running freely inside.

It's really heartwarming.

The current shortage is in grain production; grain is the only guarantee for survival.

Qin Shuangshuang poked her head out of the space again, and now, looking at the pitch-black night, she took advantage of the darkness to hurry down the mountain.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, they saw Lu Jun carrying a lantern not far away. As soon as Lu Jun heard the footsteps behind him, he turned around warily and saw that it was Qin Shuangshuang coming over.

He looked around and saw that he had nothing in his hands, not even a few wild boars.

Lu Jun asked him curiously, "Didn't you bring back any of those wild boar pups? Did something happen?"

Seeing Lu Jun's concerned expression, Qin Shuangshuang said to him, "I'm so sorry, I originally intended to bring them back when I came down, but suddenly I didn't expect..."

Several wild boars suddenly appeared in the woods, and I couldn't handle them alone, so I had to come down and discuss it with you."

Lu Jun frowned upon hearing this. "There are indeed quite a few wild animals in here. But that's fine. Once we've recovered some of our strength, we can bring people to hunt. Then everyone can have one meal a day."

But your brother has a high fever right now, we need to go back quickly.

Qin Shuangshuang nodded, and the two hurried on their way, one after the other.

But they had only taken a few steps when they heard the footsteps of other people in the woods. They found a place to hide and soon saw a group of people carrying torches coming this way.

Qin Shuangshuang saw the person she least wanted to see in the crowd.

All that could be heard was the two of them talking, "What a misfortune for the family! Their son married such a heartless wife and gave birth to such a bastard!"

"When I see that mother and her two children this time, I'm determined to bring that wretched girl over and stew her for everyone to eat! Then I'll sell my good-for-nothing daughter-in-law and get some food so my old man and I can enjoy a few days of comfort!"

Then someone joked, "So, are you planning to keep your grandson? You really are sexist!"

The eldest son's wife next to him said directly, "He's just a boy. I'll have a few more for my in-laws to play with. Who cares about that little thing!"

Old Mrs. Qin laughed heartily, "That's right! That's right! Speaking of which, Er Gouzi and his gang should have caught up with them by now, right? I told him and his vagrant brothers to teach my unfilial daughter-in-law and that brat a good lesson!"

The eldest son calculated the time and said, "Yes, they should be here by now. Mother, just you wait and see! Those brothers will definitely make my sister-in-law obedient, and that brat too!"

Hiding in the shadows, Qin Shuangshuang's heart skipped a beat: "Oh no!"
