Bai Junjun comforted her in return, “It’s okay, everything will be all right.”

“I just hope Xiao Shan can grow up safely, I ask for nothing else.”

Madam Liu glanced at her son by the river, who had a tiger-head-shaped face, a deep love and helplessness evident in her eyes.

At the moment, Bai Sasa and Bai Lingyu were practicing slingshooting by the creek, surrounded by several children who were enviously watching them play.

Normally, it was a common sight for the village kids to play with slingshots. The village chief even discussed with the villagers about saving up some money to send the kids to school, hoping they might become scholars and eventually escape the hunter’s status.

Madam Liu had also fantasized about the days when Xiao Shan would become a scholar.

But now, Madam Liu dared not think about it anymore.

She didn’t know when these troubled times would end, and she had given up on hopes of promotion, wealth, and living comfortably.

All she wanted was for her family to be safe and sound.

“I will protect him,” Bai Junjun, unable to bear seeing Madam Liu so hopeless, spoke up to comfort her.

With Bai Junjun’s promise, Madam Liu’s smile grew wider, and just as she was about to express her gratitude, Bai Junjun spoke again.

“However, I can never replace the position of a father or mother, so for Xiao Shan’s sake, you also need to protect yourselves.”

“Yes, yes,” Madam Liu nodded in agreement, and the two continued talking as they headed back to the camp.

At that time, the Qiu family father and son were earnestly cooking.

The Seven-Person Team always had breakfast before setting off, hence many refugees also took this time to prepare their meals.

Unlike the Seven-Person Team, which had fixed times for three meals a day, most people prepared the whole day’s food in one go, or at least the lunch, so they could sit down and eat directly at noon.

Saving the effort of cooking at noon allowed for more rest time, and Old Uncle Qiu naturally did the same.

He prepared both the breakfast and lunch at once, so they could replenish their energy anytime they were hungry without having to wait for lunch, especially since it was just mushrooms grabbed from a bamboo tube, very convenient to eat.

Bai Junjun saw the mushrooms were almost done and volunteered to call the kids back from the riverbank.

But before Bai Junjun had gone far, a voice called out to her from behind.

“Wait a minute.”

“?” Bai Junjun turned around suspiciously, only to see the young man she had encountered in the morning appearing again.

Bai Junjun didn’t quite understand why this young man kept appearing again and again.

Yet, the young man stared straight at her, even showing a hint of embarrassment on his face.

“Could you give me a pot of water?”

“…” After hearing this, Bai Junjun turned around and continued walking towards the creek, ignoring the young man.

She had clearly rejected him, but this person was still persistently haunting her – it was obvious he was not right in the head. To avoid any further conflict, she decided it was better to avoid confrontation.

Before Bai Junjun had taken two steps, Rabbit spoke out again.

“I can trade you some bird eggs for it.”

“???” Bai Junjun turned around suspiciously.

Seeing that this tactic worked, Rabbit showed a hint of joy and emphasized again, “If you’re willing to share a pot of water with me, I can give you some of the bird eggs I’ve found.”

Every morning, he had to climb trees to collect the morning dew, which allowed him to find quite a few bird eggs.

Among the Seven-Person Team, he was the only “wealthy household” of eggs.

“How many can you give?” Bai Junjun asked, raising an eyebrow.

Rabbit frowned and after a while, raised three fingers.

“Too few,” Bai Junjun said, uninterested, twisting her mouth and ready to leave.

Not eating those three bird eggs wouldn’t affect her much, and she was expected to trade Magical Wood Water for such a tiny amount? Wishful thinking.
