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

As dusk fell and night descended.

Qin Shuangshuang wiped the fine sweat from her forehead. The colorful mushrooms filled three whole packages, and she nodded in satisfaction.

On the other hand, Zhou's face was full of worry. Although Qin Shuangshuang asked her to wait aside, her eyes kept glancing at Qin Shuangshuang, as if she was afraid that Qin Shuangshuang would be so hungry that she would take a bite when she wasn't paying attention and then foam at the mouth.

"Oh my god, this woman is terrifying! Run, run!"

Qin Shuangshuang looked in the direction of the sound, parted the grass and trees, and saw rows and rows of Bodhi seeds. Her eyes lit up instantly; this stuff was delicious.

"Hmph, no one can resist the poison in my body, I don't believe she would dare to eat me."

Before anyone could finish speaking, Qin Shuangshuang smiled and took off the bracelet, intending to put it in her bag. But as she brushed it against her wrist, a flash of cold light appeared, and a completely transparent and lustrous bracelet inexplicably appeared. The bracelet vanished instantly.

Qin Shuangshuang froze on the spot, shook her hand, and the bracelet had disappeared. If she hadn't seen the pit left where she pulled out the blue bracelet, she probably would have thought she was hallucinating from hunger.

"Shuangshuang, what's wrong?"

Seeing that she was not moving, Zhou thought something had happened and hurriedly asked her in a anxious tone.

"Mother," Qin Shuang's eyes darted around, and she subconsciously felt that this matter was not simple, so she kept it to herself, "When we came, we saw a water source over there, why don't you go and get some?"

I saw several small puddles along the way. Although they were mixed with mud, they were still drinkable after cleaning.

Suppressing her doubts, Zhou turned to look for a water source.

Qin Shuangshuang took a few more mushrooms and placed them on her wrist. Sure enough, the mushrooms disappeared in the next instant.

At the same time, Qin Shuangshuang felt her consciousness enter a new space. Looking around, she saw green mountains and clear waters, but it was unusually quiet. The vanished mushrooms were lying on the ground.

I don't know if it's just my imagination, but the mushrooms look much shinier and more plump and tempting than they appear.

She was overjoyed; God had been kind to her and had even given her a golden touch.

With her consciousness withdrawn from the space, Qin Shuangshuang was full of energy and stored a lot of food into the space.

I wonder how much this space can store. Oh well, I'll study it more carefully when I get back.

About half an hour later, Zhou returned and asked Qin Shuangshuang in confusion, "Mother packed some water, but it's all sand and soil inside. Is this water drinkable?"

Qin Shuangshuang smiled mysteriously, took Zhou's hand, and walked back to the refugee camp together. As she walked, she replied, "Don't worry, Mother, I have my own way."

Mrs. Zhou remained worried. Although she chose to trust her daughter, she couldn't help but wonder why, ever since Shuangshuang kowtowed, she had not only not become stupid, but had actually become much smarter. She didn't know whether this was a blessing or a curse.

Before we even got close, we could hear a commotion coming from ahead.

"It's been almost half a day and they still haven't come back. That mother and daughter have probably already run away. Only you two are still foolishly waiting." The eldest branch of the Qin family was sharp and mean. She had been looking down on Zhou Shi for a long time and was always thinking of ways to trip her up.

"This..." The families who trusted Qin Shuangshuang were apprehensive. It was almost midnight, and they hadn't seen any sign of Zhou and her daughter. In addition, the Qin family kept adding fuel to the fire, and their doubts began to grow.

Could it be that I really made the wrong choice?

Seeing this, Old Mrs. Qin quickly pressed her advantage, smugly slandering and spreading rumors, "My daughter-in-law is not honest at all. A few months ago, I found out she was having an affair. Such a promiscuous woman should be drowned in a pig cage."

“We didn’t pursue the matter because we cared about our son and were kind-hearted. Who would have thought that they would team up with the little idiot to target us now? Why is my life so miserable!”

"That kid's still here, I don't believe he won't come back."

Qin Hao huddled under the tree trunk. Qin Shuangshuang told him to keep an eye on the Qin family's movements to prevent them from taking his things, so he held onto his luggage tightly and refused to let go.

"You're talking nonsense! My mother isn't that kind of person!"

Seeing Qin Hao's rebuttal, Old Madam Qin felt she had lost face. She rolled up her sleeves and was about to step forward to teach him a lesson, "You little brat, do you know that you have the blood of the Qin family flowing through your veins? How dare you talk to your mother like that? I'll tear you to pieces today."

However, the next moment, her wrist was grabbed. Qin Shuangshuang looked at her with a smile, slapped her back, and shook her aching hand, saying, "Grandma, Qin Hao is young and doesn't know any better. If you have any complaints, just tell me."

"It's pointless to say anything anyway."

"You dare hit me?!" Old Mrs. Qin was stunned for a moment, her eyes filled with disbelief, her facial features scrunched up, her eyes fierce and extremely terrifying.

Qin Shuangshuang completely ignored this and turned around to set up the iron pot with Zhou Shi and Qin Hao. Qin Hao's eyes were bright, and he clung to Qin Shuangshuang with great admiration.

The other three households were in the same situation, and they quickly stepped forward to help.

Qin Shuangshuang picked up a bamboo tube from the roadside, put the charcoal she had brought with her when she left home into it, and then put in a few stones and leaves to make a simple filter. She poured in muddy water, and when it came out again, the water had become clear and transparent, and the remaining impurities did not prevent it from being drunk.

Bring water to a boil, add sliced ​​Boletus luridus and other mushrooms, then add an appropriate amount of Pulsatilla chinensis to reduce toxins.

It simmered for two whole hours, and the aroma gradually wafted out, causing the surrounding refugees to watch with bated breath and swallow their saliva.

Qin Shuangshuang slowly ladled out the bowls and distributed them to the three households. Li Dasheng, a hunter, hesitated when the bowls were handed to him. He didn't care if he died, but what about his wife and two children behind him...

Seeing the hesitation and embarrassment, Qin Shuangshuang smiled brightly, picked up the bowl and gulped it down. After finishing, she smacked her lips, seemingly still wanting more.

"Uncle Li, I'll give you a sample; it's definitely not poisonous."

Seeing this, Zhou and Qin Hao exchanged a glance and drank it down themselves. The more they drank, the brighter their eyes became. They never expected to find such delicious food in the wild.

Qin Hao, being young, couldn't keep anything to himself and immediately shouted, "Mom, Mom, I want more! It's so delicious!"

Li Dasheng and the other two households no longer hesitated and drank the food. Before they could even speak, they started filling their bowls for the second time, afraid that someone would snatch it away. They didn't stop until they were full, their eyes still fixed on the food in the pot, lingering there.

Old Qin and his wife were unwilling to give up and quickly spoke up, "These are all poisonous things. If you drink them, you will definitely not live past tonight."

Upon hearing this, the refugees who were about to step forward hesitated again and retreated, not daring to risk their lives.

However, the next day, the group was standing perfectly fine, and after eating their fill, they even started jumping around and had the energy to work.

The refugees could no longer resist and rushed forward to fawn over them, saying, "Look, we didn't even lift a finger. It's all the Qin family's fault for instigating you to misunderstand. This stuff... could I have a taste?"

“My son hasn’t eaten for two days, please have pity on him.”

Before Qin Shuangshuang could reply, Old Mrs. Qin and Old Mr. Qin were so angry that they stepped forward to snatch the mushrooms from Qin Shuangshuang's hands.

Zhou and Qin Hao stepped forward to stop them, but were thrown aside by the group. Their eyes glowed green, and they headed straight for Qin Shuangshuang.

Qin Shuangshuang had never seen such shameless people in her two lives, and she started fighting with the two of them.

Her health has gradually recovered in the past two days, and she has become much stronger. Having studied traditional Chinese medicine in her previous life, she knows the weak points on the human body like the back of her hand, and she can target the painful but unmarked spots.

In a short while, the two were lying on the ground groaning in pain. Meanwhile, the battle between Zhou and the eldest branch of the Qin family was extremely intense. Both sides had disheveled hair and their clothes were almost torn to shreds.

Qin Shuangshuang endured the pain, broke open the bamboo tube, and stabbed it into the body of the eldest son of the Qin family. Blood flowed incessantly, and she screamed and ran away.

“Your family sucks my mother’s blood and tries to kill me to eat my flesh. You are so brazen because of your filial piety, but you disregard human ethics and are disrespectful to your elders. Today, I will sever ties with your Qin family and never see you again.”
