"Sister, Xiang'er was wrong. Please forgive her for once!" Qu Xiang was in tears, looking pitiful.

"Sister, my grandmother kicked me out. I beg you to keep Xiang'er. Please forgive Xiang'er for the sake of our father and mother. Xiang'er knows she was wrong."

After Qu Xiang finished speaking, she started crying again. At the same time, she was also very confused. Her sister had changed a lot during this period of time, and her temper had changed a lot. It seemed that she was no longer the same person as before.

Qu Xinglan looked up at Qu Qiuning, and Qu Qiuning caught a glimpse of Qu Xinglan's pleading eyes out of the corner of his eye.

I smiled bitterly in my heart, this kid is really a kind-hearted person. He doesn't know that the person he pities at this moment is actually a snake, and may bite you back one day.

Qu Qiuning pretended not to notice Qu Xinglan's gaze and continued with his actions.

Qu Xinglan lowered his eyes. He didn’t understand why his elder sister refused to take his second sister in. However, his elder sister must have her reasons for making the decision!

In the evening, after Qu Qiuning and his group had eaten, they began to pack up and rest, but Qu Xiang still knelt there and refused to leave.

Finally, she fainted in the second half of the night. When she woke up, she found herself lying on a pile of hay, with Qu Xinglan and Qu Qiuning beside her.

"Sister, have you forgiven me?" Qu Xiang asked excitedly.

"For the sake of my father and mother, I will keep you for now, and don't mention the matter of forgiveness anymore.

I have conditions for keeping you.

First, you are sick, so don’t come near us, and stay two meters away from us at all times. Second, you can’t touch our things.

Third, you must not do anything that harms us.”

If you agree, you can stay. I can give you food to ensure that you don't starve to death. I also know some herbs and can treat you. As for whether you can recover, it's up to fate.

"Okay, I agree. Thank you, sister." Qu Xiang wiped the tears from her face and breathed a sigh of relief. Her life could be saved for the time being.

Qu Qiuning looked at Qu Xiang, who was lying on the ground with a pitiful look on her face, and turned away. She really didn't want to see this face.

If Qu Xinglan hadn't knelt down and begged her last night, she would not have kept Qu Xiang.

When Song Yanfeng saw Qu Qiuning stating her conditions and Qu Xiang's smile was cunning, he understood why the girl refused to take Qu Xiang in.

Gu Changfeng brought Qu Xiang a bowl of batter and a bowl of water. Qu Xiang took a sip of the batter. The aroma of wheat and the faint sweetness stimulated her taste buds, making her drink it in big gulps.

In this way, Qu Xiang followed Qu Qiuning and his group from a distance for three days. On the fourth day, early in the morning, miserable cries echoed throughout the camp.

"My child," a woman cried out, holding her lifeless child.

Qu Qiuning was also attracted by the miserable cry. When he saw the woman holding her long-dead child in her arms, Qu Qiuning's heart ached.

When Qu Qiuning learned from the villagers nearby that the child had starved to death, he clenched his fists, turned back to his tent, and angrily complained about the incompetence of this country that allowed its own people to starve to death while remaining indifferent.

In a situation like today, there must be many people starving to death in other places.

Soon, the village chief Gu Qingshu found Qu Qiuning. As soon as he came in, he had a bitter face.

"Girl, I am incompetent and the villagers have suffered. I have no choice but to come to you shamelessly. Can you help me think of a way to help the villagers get through this difficult time?

If this continues, many more people will starve to death. Uncle, please help me, okay?"

As Gu Qingshu spoke, he was about to kneel down to Qu Qiuning.

"Uncle Gu, don't be like this, let me think about it."

Qu Qiuning quickly supported Gu Qingshu's body as he was about to kneel down.

"How about this, let's stay here for two days and see if we can find some food in this jungle.

Send a few skilled fighters to look around to see if there are any signs of animals. We can catch them together. I will go see if there is anything edible in this place. Do you think this is feasible?"

Gu Qingshu finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as this girl was willing to help, there would still be hope.

After Gu Qingshu left, Qu Qiuning took out the bow and arrow left by his father from the backpack and said to everyone:

"I'm going to go out and take a look. No one of you is allowed to follow me. I won't show mercy to those who disobey me."

Qu Qiuning's tone was stiff, and a strong sense of oppression emerged from his eyes.

He originally wanted to follow Song Yanfeng, so he had to hold Qu Xinglan back in his arms. But he was still very worried. What if the girl's old illness relapsed?

"Should I go with you?" Song Yanfeng asked in a low voice.

Qu Qiuning glared at Song Yanfeng, then walked out of the tent with his bow and arrow.

Village Chief Gu had also organized a few people and was preparing to set off. Seeing Qu Qiuning holding a bow, he thought he wanted to follow them.

But Qu Qiuning said nothing, walked past them and headed straight for the woods.

As soon as Qu Qiuning entered the jungle, he quickened his pace and tried to distance himself from the man from the village who was entering the woods as quickly as possible.

Qu Qiuning quickly found a big tree, climbed up, looked at the camp in the distance, and laughed helplessly.

"Haha, she, Qu Qiuning, the super agent, has turned into Guanyin,"

After saying this, she leaned back against a tree branch and closed her eyes leisurely. She had been exhausted from the daily grind, so she wanted to take a break first.

The rest lasted until the afternoon. Qu Qiuning opened his eyes, stretched, looked at the environment around the tree, and suddenly his eyes lit up and he quickly slid down the trunk.

Qu Qiuning walked to the small earthen slope he had just seen and looked down. The slope was about five or six feet long, with a slope of about 40 degrees. It was not very difficult for people to climb up.

Qu Qiuning looked around and found nothing unusual, so he took out the bag of rice that he had gotten from the rich master's house in Qu Xiang last time from the space.

Three bags of rice weigh an estimated 300 kilograms. There are more than a hundred villagers, dozens of households, and each family doesn't get much.

Qu Qiuning looked at the remaining points in his space, which were less than fifteen hundred. Even if he exchanged them all for food, he wouldn't be able to last long.

Qu Qiuning kicked the rice bag down the hillside, then sprinkled some dirt on the bag to make it look like it had been there for a long time.

He dusted off his hands, turned around and ran back to the camp.

"Uncle Gu, Uncle Gu," Qu Qiuning shouted as he ran.

When the villagers heard such urgent shouting, they all came out to see if something big had happened.

When Gu Qingshu saw that it was Qu Qiuning, he quickly trotted over to meet her. Cheng Yi and Song Yanfeng also walked over quickly, nervously.

"Girl, what happened?"

Gu Qingshu wiped the sweat from his face and asked urgently.

"Uncle Gu, I found three bags of rice over there, but I can't carry them by myself, so I came back to ask Gu Dashu for help."

Qu Qiuning pretended to be out of breath, gasping for breath.

"rice?"

When everyone heard this, smiles immediately appeared on their faces.

"It's there, take me there quickly." Gu Qingshu was very excited. In this way, the villagers would be able to overcome the difficulties temporarily.
