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

Time flew by, and before long, the two felt utterly exhausted.

After Lu Jun stitched up the adult's wounds, everyone's attention was now focused on Qin Shuangshuang's hands.

Their gazes were fixed on the two young people and the adult lying on the bed together.

After all, everyone is now hoping that the adult will wake up under the influence of the two young people.

However, in reality, nothing changed.

At this moment, Qin Shuangshuang wearily raised her head and said to Jin Danian opposite her, "This gentleman needs to rest for another night. I believe he will be able to wake up by tomorrow afternoon."

However, upon hearing this, Doctor Li couldn't help but smile and said to Jin Danian in front of him, "Lord Jin, you don't really expect this little girl to cure you adults, do you?"

Now she's completely cleaned the wounds of the miracle medicine I used. I doubt you adults will wake up anyway, so everyone should hurry and pack our things and leave.

But before you leave, don't forget, since the bet was initially settled, I've won now. Miss Qin, tell me, when will you marry me, or should I wait until I set a date and then bring you home as my bride?"

Lu Junli lowered his brows and said sarcastically, "You're really laughable. Don't forget, the betting is still going on."

Everyone present is a witness, and Qin Shuangshuang has already said that the master will wake up tomorrow afternoon; if he hasn't woken up by then, they'll discuss it further.

After hesitating for a moment, Jin Danian stepped forward and asked, "Miss Qin, are you absolutely certain that the master will wake up tomorrow afternoon?"

Qin Shuangshuang nodded and said to him, "It shouldn't be a big problem."

Doctor Li, skeptical, took advantage of the conversation to walk forward and look at the greenish mass on the adult's chest. He said to Qin Shuangshuang, "Don't tell me you think you can cure the adult's illness with just this little bit of stuff. Don't think you're something special just because you used some herbs on it. I don't think it will help."

Jin Danian already disliked the way Doctor Li spoke, and now, hearing him say this again, it was as if his superior was about to die at such a young age. He said to Doctor Li with a somewhat angry tone, "Please speak more respectfully, otherwise, I will have to deal with you according to military law."

When Dr. Li heard Jin Danian reprimanding him like this, he couldn't be so presumptuous anymore.

Jin Danian stood tall and said resolutely, "Miss Qin, since you've already made your decision, it means our master is very likely to wake up tomorrow afternoon. If he does wake up then, I will settle the score according to your previous bet."

But if you fail to heal our master, and the wound that was already bleeding only slightly is now reopened, and you negligently dismantle it, causing Doctor Li's previous efforts to be in vain,

We will settle all these scores with you properly, because the lives of adults are of paramount importance to us.

Upon hearing this, Qin Shuangshuang felt worried and somewhat anxious.

But she still agreed and said to him, "Now that I've said it, I'm not afraid of you. Since there's no other way, listen to me. I believe the master will wake up tomorrow afternoon."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and then Qin Shuangshuang said to Lu Jun, "Let's go out and find a place to rest, and come back tomorrow afternoon."

Seeing that the two had already left, Jin Danian casually instructed his men behind him, "Find a few people to keep an eye on them and make sure they don't run away."

He still had some concerns.

Although Qin Shuangshuang said they were sure, just in case, she still wanted to keep the people in front of her so that they could not leave like this.

Otherwise, what would he do to explain to his brothers if the adults didn't wake up?

After the brothers nodded in agreement, they left together.

Qin Shuangshuang and Lu Jun returned to their tents. They had already sensed that someone was following them. Qin Shuangshuang turned around and looked at Jin Danian and his brothers, who were now stationed near her camp.

She knew that if the adult didn't wake up this time, she probably wouldn't be able to save her life. At first, she was able to remain calm, but now that she saw that someone had locked her up, she felt like she was in jail for the first time. Being guarded like this, she couldn't help but feel worried.

Lu Jun patted her shoulder and said, "Don't worry, there's not much love involved. With me here, no one will dare to touch you."

Lu Jun glanced at the jade pendant he had hidden in his sleeve; he knew exactly what it was.

Even if Qin Shuangshuang really couldn't cure this adult, he still had a way to get her away.

It would be better if this adult could be cured.

After all, this adult was a very important key figure to the county and the nearby refugees.

Qin Shuangshuang said, "Don't worry, I estimate that the adult will be fine once he wakes up. Although this is the first time I've gone to such lengths to save someone, I still feel that he'll be fine once he wakes up."

Qin Shuangshuang was so exhausted that it was already noon when she woke up. After she tidied herself up and went outside, she saw that the soldiers nearby had all gone to the tent where she had treated the patient the day before.

She then knew that everyone had probably gone there to watch the excitement.

Qin Shuangshuang wanted to go over there too, but this time she heard several crows cawing incessantly around her.

"See that? This woman actually dared to show her kindness by saving that dying man. I look at that man; he probably won't wake up. We'd better hurry up and leave. No, we should hurry up and call our brothers over. Maybe his body will be dumped around here, and we can get a share of the spoils."

"Exactly! We crows are the best at sensing the presence of the dying. It seems this man is unlikely to survive. Since he's so weak, we need to find a way to claim this territory as soon as possible. Fresh meat isn't easy to find these days, and now that we've come across such a piece, I absolutely have to get my hands on it!"

Qin Shuangshuang instantly became angry, picked up a stone and threw it at the crows perched on the roof. She vented her anger at them, saying, "What nonsense are you talking about? I know my own skills, so don't spout nonsense!"

"Hurry up and go, don't spoil the scenery!"

Upon hearing Qin Shuangshuang's cursing, several crows flapped their wings and flew away, muttering, "What's there to be angry about? She's a pretty young girl, but she's a complete shrew!"

"Let's hurry up and get out of here, lest she throw pebbles at us!"

Just as Qin Shuangshuang was still angry, Jin Danian arrived with several of his close brothers.

Jin Danian waved his hand, signaling several of his men to go up and take Qin Shuangshuang under his control.

Qin Shuangshuang, puzzled, calmly asked him, "What does this mean, Lord Jin?"

Jin Danian then said to Qin Shuangshuang, "Since the lord has not yet woken up, we must prepare in advance. If he does not wake up at that time, Miss Qin, I will have no choice but to deal with you according to military law."
