Free Web NovelChapter 952: Chapter 1012
No one dared to speak at that moment, afraid of being left behind or killed.
Jila led a few tribe members to escort them away. After they departed, the tribe would relocate to avoid being discovered.
As the group was leaving, Manman ran out, holding something, indicating that she wanted to give it to Qiao Qiqi.
At Jila’s gesture, Qiao Qiqi crouched down, and Manman hung the necklace adorned with animal bones around Qiao Qiqi’s neck.
Qiao Qiqi reached out to pat the little girl’s head, waved goodbye to her, and then got up to leave.
The shaman and Manman kept watching the group disappear into the depths of the jungle before returning.
Jila led the people to take them to a place far from the tribe, then returned.
Everyone left, and Rong Yun then helped the other five to untie their ropes; they quickly pulled down the sacks covering their heads.
"I’m so hungry, do you have something to eat? Give me some food!" Wang Ming, like a ravenous ghost reborn, immediately demanded food from Rong Yun and Qiao Qiqi.
"No, if you want to eat, find it yourself." Rong Yun wasn’t going to indulge his bad behavior. After being rescued by his sister, without a word of thanks, he still dared to ask for food?
Qiao Qiqi naturally wouldn’t pay attention to such a person.
Liu Yang and the others were also hungry, but they all thanked Qiao Qiqi first.
"Miss Qiao, let’s rest up ahead, and I’ll go find some food for us; we need to replenish, or we won’t be able to continue." Liu Yang suggested.
Qiao Qiqi had no objections. When she left, Jila had given her plenty of meat. She wasn’t hungry now, so she sat down with Rong Yun to rest.
Rong Yun took out an apple he had with him and handed it to her, saying, "Sis, have one. It was given by a monkey, very sweet."
Qiao Qiqi accepted it, took out a knife, and split the apple in half, each sibling having half.
The others reluctantly went to search for food too. Except for Liu Yang and Tong Yue, everyone thought since Qiao Qiqi had food, why not share some with them? Shouldn’t she?
However, now they dared not express their anger.
The men searched for a long time but didn’t find much. Liu Yang only managed to find some wild fruits.
They could only fill their stomachs with those.
After eating, Qiao Qiqi said they should continue on the road; after all, the more distance they could cover, the better.
One day wouldn’t be enough to get out, so that night, everyone could only set up camp and prepare to rest.
Liu Yang lit a campfire, but his energy wasn’t good now, as he hadn’t eaten fully for a long time.
"Everyone, try to look nearby to see if there’s food." Liu Yang frowned, eyeing the few who were slumped over.
"I really can’t move; I don’t think I can make it out of this rainforest alive!" Wang Ming said.
"I’m really hungry." Another man sat there clutching his stomach, looking pale.
"If you’re hungry, go find food yourself! Do you expect it to drop from the sky?" Tong Yue angrily said and got up to leave.
In the end, only three went to search for food; Qiao Qiqi and Rong Yun had food, and the other two wouldn’t move.
"Brother, tell them to find some mushrooms or something." Qiao Qiqi said to Rong Yun.
Rong Yun nodded and immediately went to handle it.
"If you two don’t want to die, go fetch water and boil it!" Qiao Qiqi couldn’t stand those two, but she couldn’t watch them die here either.
The two opened their mouths, hurriedly complied, and no one dared to say a word against it.
The water was fetched, and the two figured out a way to place it on the fire to start boiling.
