Xiao Shan saw the person coming and quickly ran up to hug his father’s thigh.
“Dad, you finally caught up with us!”
“Yes,” Qiu Da laughed as he picked up Xiao Shan, who giggled and dove into his embrace.
Children quickly forget; seeing his dad return made him instantly forget being scolded by his mom only moments ago, and he kept asking why he ran so slow, making him wait for a long time and so on.
Listening to his young son’s continuous questions, Qiu Da answered softly with a face full of happiness.
The bond between father and son seemed very strong.
Seeing her husband return, Madam Liu also smiled warmly, “Dinner will be ready soon, come over quickly.”
Qiu Da nodded then noticed the still groggy Bai Junjun: “Is the young girl awake?”
Earlier that morning when Qiu Da left, Bai Junjun was still unconscious.
Speaking of just earlier, the food-obsessed Bai Junjun had heard footsteps approaching from afar. Alert, she had turned around and soon saw Xiao Shan rushing over and not until Qiu Da picked up Xiao Shan did she relax her guard—it was Uncle Qiu’s eldest son who had come back.
Hearing him ask about her condition, Bai Junjun nodded, “Thanks for your concern.”
Compared to Bai Junjun’s reservedness, Qiu Da was much more enthusiastic.
“Eat a bit more meat later, you’ll regain your strength in no time!”
Qiu Da clearly was the only one besides Uncle Qiu to hold speaking authority, and his tone strikingly echoed that of Uncle Qiu, causing everyone to laugh.
“Did you cover the tracks well?” Uncle Qiu looked at his eldest son with satisfaction.
“Yes,” Qiu Da nodded earnestly.
They had a cart, and naturally, a cart would leave tracks. Worrying that the wheel prints might reveal their flaws, the older brother had been handling the tracks at the back all this time.
Fortunately, their journey had been smooth, without any mishaps.
Even if the government official looked back to search, they would definitely not be able to tell that someone had returned to the village and then left.
“Further ahead, there’s a Green Pool. We estimate that we’ll arrive there by nightfall. Tonight, we’ll rest at Green Pool, as it will be harder to find water sources if we go any further,” said Uncle Qiu.
During the wait for dinner, Uncle Qiu took the opportunity to make the next set of plans.
The members of the Qiu family naturally looked to Uncle Qiu as the leader, and Bai Junjun, unfamiliar with life here, had no objections.
Everyone unanimously agreed to Uncle Qiu’s suggestion.
Before long, lunch was finally ready.

As the coarse grain porridge bubbled in the pot, Madam Liu tossed in freshly picked wild vegetables and mushrooms, soon filling the air with a heartening aroma of food.
Madam Liu waited until the porridge was thoroughly boiling before serving it out one by one.
The mountain folk’s cooking utensils and tableware were mostly made from materials found in the mountains. Even with three more people in the group, it was only a matter of chopping a few thick branches to make enough bowls, a task that the Qiu brothers found very easy.
The Bai siblings held their new bowls and chopsticks with some excitement.
Especially Bai Junjun: nevermind The Apocalypse, since arriving here, she, Bai Sasa, and Bai Lingyu had only been using any stick as chopsticks or picking a leaf to use as a makeshift bowl.
Holding her own bowl and chopsticks so formally was a novel experience.
Strictly speaking, this was her first real staple meal in her life!
I wonder, was it rice, wheat, or millet?
Gazing at the pale yellow coarse grains in her bowl, Bai Junjun was momentarily dazzled by the luxury.
In The Apocalypse, this bowl of porridge would be worth ten barrels of gasoline, or even more!
The porridge was filled with soft and glutinous grains mixed with milky white mushrooms and vibrant green vegetables, sending a sweet aroma straight to her nose as her stomach continued to growl in protest.
“Go ahead and eat, careful, it’s hot.”
