Su Lingwei's face turned deathly pale instantly, and she looked at Su Lingyu in disbelief: "Su Lingyu!"
The refugees' eyes lit up, and they turned and walked towards Su Lingwei. In their view, the more beautiful women there were, the more capital they had to curry favor with their leader.
"No! Don't come any closer!" Su Lingwei was so frightened that she kept backing away, tears streaming down her face, but the refugee grabbed her arm and she couldn't break free at all.
As Su Lingyu watched her sister being dragged away, a strange sense of relief welled up inside her.
But she didn't notice the contempt in the eyes of the refugees.
A woman who would even sell her own sister—no matter how beautiful she is, no one will truly care for her.
Shen Qingtang watched this scene and a cold smile appeared on her lips, revealing Su Lingyu's selfish and self-serving nature.
Awakened by Su Lingyu's words, the refugees scanned the crowd and pulled out any women of even slightly attractive appearance. Qin Wanqing was no exception; her refined and beautiful features had already caught the refugees' attention.
At that moment, his arm was grabbed by a rough hand, his face turned deathly pale, and his body trembled uncontrollably.
"Wanqing!" Qin Xian was furious when he saw this. His eyes turned red with anger. He struggled to rush over, but was kicked hard in the chest by the refugees. He fell to the ground and could not get up. He could only watch helplessly as his daughter was dragged away.
Her voice was filled with despair, "Let go of my daughter! Come at me!"
Shen Minglan and Shen Mingzhao also became anxious and roared at the refugees, "Let them go! In broad daylight, aren't you afraid of the law?"
"The law?" The refugees scoffed, only becoming more brazen.
"On this mountain, I am the law! If you dare to say another word, I'll cut your tongues out!"
Lu Jiaojiao sat in the corner, watching this chaotic and desperate scene.
He burst into smug laughter: "Karma! It's all karma! Shen Qingtang, even if you want to escape, no one will help you! You deserve it!"
She felt she had finally won, and seeing Shen Qingtang "helpless," she was filled with twisted pride.
Just then, Shen Qingtang suddenly got up from the ground, a fawning smile plastered on her face.
Gu Yong scurried up to the refugees, his tone obsequious: "Heroes...heroes, you've captured so many beauties, you must need someone to cook for you, right? I...I can cook! My cooking is delicious, I can stew meat, roast rabbit, and steam taro for you!"
As she spoke, she deliberately twisted her face even more, and the drool dripped even more from the corner of her mouth.
In the eyes of the refugees, his once handsome face was now twisted into an even uglier shape, and even his fawning smile seemed particularly disgusting.
What's going on? They feel this woman is getting uglier and uglier.
The leader of the refugees frowned, wanting to drive her away immediately.
But then I thought about how many people they had arrested.
We definitely need a cook to tend the fire and prepare the meals; we can't expect the beautiful woman to do it all.
Moreover, this idiot looked rather stupid and probably couldn't pull any tricks, so he waved his hand impatiently: "Fine! Then you can come with me to the kitchen! If you dare to try anything funny, I'll be the first to kill you!"
"No! No!" Shen Qingtang nodded hurriedly, looking flattered. "I will definitely cook well and I would never dare to play any tricks!"
"She's just playing tricks!" Lu Jiaojiao screamed immediately upon seeing this. "She can't cook at all! She's just trying to sneak into the kitchen to find tools and escape! Don't believe her!"
But the refugees were already annoyed by her previous "boy who cried wolf" cries, and seeing Shen Qingtang's foolish appearance, they didn't take her words to heart at all.
Instead, he kicked Lu Jiaojiao in the leg: "You little brat, shut up! If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll drag you to the kitchen to wash the dishes too!"
Lu Jiaojiao was in pain from the kick, and afraid of being forced to work, she could only bite her lip tightly.
I dared not speak again.
But he still glared fiercely at Shen Qingtang.
She didn't believe Shen Qingtang really just wanted to cook; there must be some other scheme behind it!
Shen Qingtang was led by the refugees to a makeshift kitchen, where there were piles of wild vegetables, grains, and wild boar and rabbit meat left over from the refugees' previous hunting.
