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

Lu Jun looked in the direction Qin Shuangshuang was pointing, but before he could turn around, Qin Shuangshuang had already left.

Lu Jun also glanced back. Now that Uncle Li and several other strong men were guarding inside, he was no longer worried. He then followed closely behind Qin Shuangshuang.

Qin Shuangshuang carried her already somewhat tattered basket on her back. She looked around and saw that the place was indeed barren, with not even a single fresh blade of grass to be found.

But she insisted on finding medicinal herbs inside.

After wandering around in the woods for a while, my ears were filled with a constant, noisy sound.

"I can't believe someone's actually wandering around this forest today. They must be starving. They might even eat these dry blades of grass!"

"This little girl doesn't look particularly bright. It looks like she'll be leaving empty-handed this time too!"

"That's why being a medicine maker is so great! Even if people are starving to death, they won't eat our stuff!"

"Luckily, we're all dried up now except for the seeds and these rotten leaves, so they won't swallow us. That's great! In my next life, I want to be an unknown herb again!"

Upon hearing the sound, Qin Shuangshuang's lips curled slightly. She lowered her head and pressed it close to the ground, where she saw that some herbs and some withered grass were indeed tightly intertwined. After she pulled the pile of grass aside, she saw that there were indeed several medicinal herbs there, withered and lying on the ground.

"This silly girl is staring at us. Could she really be starving and even want the medicine?"

"Shut up, or she'll find out we're here to treat colds and rash, and she might just pull us all out!"

"What are you thinking? How could she possibly know that we are? Most people wouldn't recognize our Banlangen, especially looking like beggars right now. Don't worry, we're not going to end up in someone else's mouth!"

After carefully examining the pile of weeds in front of her, Qin Shuangshuang pulled them all up from the ground, only to find that the herbs were starting to make a racket in her ears again.

Isatis root?

She examined the herbs in her hand closely, as if she had gripped their throats.

"Aaaaaah! How does a little girl like her know about us?! Is she really going to cook me into soup? Oh no, I'm doomed. I'm afraid I'll never even find a wife in this life before I get cooked up."

"I told you not to talk nonsense, and look what happened! They wiped us out completely, and our descendants will probably never have a chance to live like us again!"

Qin Shuangshuang held the withered Isatis root in her hand and carefully weighed it in her hand; it was very light.

However, if you collect a large amount, brew a pot of it and give it to someone to drink. They will probably feel refreshed immediately and won't have to worry about catching a cold this season.

Lu Jun caught up with Qin Shuangshuang and asked, "What are you holding in your hand?"

Qin Shuangshuang told him, "Of course, it's herbs."

Lu Junjiao asked curiously, "Are you sure? Is it safe for a person to drink this withered grass? Besides, even the doctor has caught a cold, so he can't test for poison for you. We only have this one doctor."

Qin Shuangshuang raised an eyebrow and said to him, "What are you thinking? How could we let him test the poison? This stuff is indeed a very good herb. After we get back, I'll brew a pot of it for everyone to drink. I think we'll be able to get over this cold this season."

Seeing her confidence, Lu Jun could only smile awkwardly and said to her, "You are quite clever, and you even know a little about pharmacology. That's really admirable."

"Alright, shall we find some more before going back?"

Qin Shuangshuang nodded and said, "With such a large population, let's bring back more just in case."

The two began collecting, and after filling a basket, Lu Jun took the basket from her and said to Qin Shuangshuang with a heavy heart, "You've had a hard journey, let's go."

Qin Shuangshuang watched as he enthusiastically carried her on his back. His back was already quite slender, making him look like an elegant and refined gentleman.

Qin Shuangshuang followed behind him, and the two went back. As soon as they reached the door, they heard a quarrel inside.

She and Lu Jun hurried inside, only to find the last person they wanted to see standing in the lobby, looking to compete with the people in their group.

Qin Shuangshuang hurriedly went over to them and said, "Why are you here? We are staying here now. Please leave. Don't upset me or I'll have you thrown out."

Seeing Qin Shuangshuang's attitude, Old Mrs. Qin was furious and said to her, "I'm your grandmother, this is your grandfather, this is your aunt, what are you doing? Let me tell you, hand over the grain right now!"

"Grandma, I haven't eaten anything for a long time. Since you have food, why don't you share it with us? Are you planning to keep it for yourself?"

The eldest son, seeing that Lu Jun had put down the things in his basket, hurriedly went up to snatch them, saying, "If you won't give them to me, then I'll take them myself!"

Lu Jun, with lightning speed, stretched out his leg and tripped her, causing her to fall to the ground.

Qin Shuangshuang couldn't help but cover her mouth and clap her hands in approval, "Well done!"

The eldest son looked up, his face ashamed, and said to the two people opposite him, "Qin Shuangshuang, how cruel you are! I am your elder!"

Qin Shuangshuang looked at her with rejection and rejection, and said, "I have already severed ties with your family. Please don't try to claim any kinship with me again, okay? I can't accept relatives like you."

Seeing Qin Shuangshuang's behavior towards the eldest son's family, Old Madam Qin said to Qin Shuangshuang without any politeness, "Qin Shuangshuang, your grandfather has caught a cold and can't even walk anymore."

You unfilial granddaughter! You don't even bother to feed him properly. You're a real ingrate! Now that someone's protecting you, you think you can do whatever you want. Let me tell you, Qin Shuangshuang, you're a member of our family, in life and in death. Hand over whatever you have right now, or else...

When I'm in court, I'll definitely give you a good sue!

Qin Shuangshuang couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of saliva. "If you don't get out of here now, don't blame me!"

Old Mrs. Qin rolled her eyes and said to her, "What are you going to do?"

Qin Shuangshuang then picked up a broom from the ground and started waving it at her without even glancing at Old Lady Qin. "Why is there so much filth here? Get out of here! Get out of here! Are you taking up space?"

The people in Qin Shuangshuang's group all burst into laughter at the farce.

Knowing she had lost face, Old Lady Qin was furious and said to Qin Shuangshuang, "You unfilial descendant! If you don't acknowledge me, fine. Then let's get this straight: this place belongs to the government. If you can live here, why can't we? We're going to stay here today!"

Seeing her give a signal to the people behind her, they all wanted to take over the place, and they arrogantly moved forward and refused to leave.

Seeing this scene, Qin Shuangshuang knew that people who acted shamelessly were the most annoying in her life. She then glanced at the burly men behind her, who were about to go over and help Qin Laotai out.

Old Lady Qin quickly said to the people in her group, "Hurry up and save this old servant!"

Seeing the people behind Old Lady Qin eager to step forward, Qin Shuangshuang immediately made a decision and told them, "Whoever doesn't go to save this old woman today, I'll provide all the food for them from now on. As long as you follow my instructions, you'll never go hungry!"

In an instant, no one thought of taking another step forward.
