At this moment, Ye Qiu was in the Mengshi Cave, looking disgusted. The place was really too simple, with nothing but a few pieces of animal hide.
She looked at the light screen in front of her, which was visible only to her. There were so many good things inside, but unfortunately she didn't have any points to redeem them.
Ye Qiu was among the picking team the next day; she wanted to find some good items to exchange for points.
Xiao Li stood not far away, keeping a close eye on Ye Qiu. The female lead had great luck, so following her would allow her to pick up bargains.
"Huh~ what's this?" Ye Qiu tripped over a grass root and looked down to see a large grass with red berries at her feet.
It looks like ginseng! She was delighted and was about to reach out to pluck it when Xiao Li's hand was faster than hers.
"These red berries are so pretty! I want to take them back for my little brother to play with."
Xiao Li exclaimed in surprise, and Guo Ye came to help dig. Soon, a plump, white ginseng was dug out and carefully put away by Xiao Li.
Ye Qiu watched helplessly as the ginseng was gone. You had your eye on Hong Guoguo, so why did you dig up my ginseng?
She gritted her teeth and looked around. The land here was fertile and sparsely populated, so there should be a lot of valuable things here.
Sure enough, a little while later, she saw a purple Ganoderma lucidum the size of a washbasin. Just as she was about to pick it, Xiaoli snatched it away with lightning speed.
Ye Qiu: "..."
When it was time to go back, Ye Qiu still hadn't found anything, while Xiao Li had a huge leaf in her arms.
It was filled with many rare treasures, but I didn't think they were particularly valuable; they were just some pretty wild grasses.
Ye Qiu looked at Xiao Li. This little girl was really annoying. She kept taking her things and even made her fall.
She ran away crying, and when she was almost at the cave, she tripped over a blade of grass.
Enraged, she kicked it, and a palm-sized golden stone rolled a few times. She picked it up and saw that it was a gold nugget. She quickly grabbed it and ran back to the cave.
Ye Qiu exchanged the gold nugget for 100 points. She quickly redeemed a bunch of food for herself. The food here was terrible. She was finally alive again.
Looking at the remaining 80 points, she thought to herself that she couldn't go out with everyone; she would go find the treasure by herself.
Thinking that all those rare treasures had been taken by Xiao Li, she gritted her teeth again. Damn it, she would make Xiao Li pay the price.
"Qiu, are you there?"
There was a noise at the door. Ye Qiu recognized the man who had carried her back. She already knew that this man was her ex-fiancé.
Thinking of how attentive he was to her, she felt a surge of pride. So what if he had a daughter? Her man loved her.
She coughed and said, "Come in."
Lin held a large piece of meat in his hand and handed it to Ye Qiu.
"Qiu, the meat you made last time was really delicious, but unfortunately I don't know how to cook it. Could you help me make it? We can eat it together."
Lin was deeply attracted to Ye Qiu the moment he saw her; how could there be such a lovely girl in the world?
She is cute, small, and so delicate; she deserves everyone's care and protection.
Unfortunately, he already had a fiancée, so he could only watch from afar. But he was really unwilling to accept it. How could Meng compare to him? Why did Meng get to have such a lovely girl?
Ye Qiu became a little interested. Although she didn't like cooking, she was willing to show off in front of the man she admired, and it would also give Li a little something to talk about.
"Okay, let's do it together."
So the two of them got busy.
"Lin, start a fire and heat the stone slab."
"Lin, could you cut the meat a bit? My hand hurts a little."
"Lin, quickly get some leaves to stuff the meat in, it's going to burn."
Lin was running around frantically, but he had a sweet smile on his face. Qiu was really amazing; just smelling the aroma made his mouth water.
As the first warrior, Meng had to maintain order in the meat-sharing area, so he returned a little late. When he heard laughter coming from the entrance of the stone cave, the smile on his face froze. Why was Lin here?
Ye Qiu looked up and saw Meng come in. She skipped over and said, "Meng, you're back?"
These past few days, the two of them have been spending every day together, and not only are they physically in sync, but their relationship has also progressed rapidly.
He suddenly felt a surge of tenderness in his heart as he watched the little woman rush towards him. He hugged her, kissed her, and gently ruffled her soft hair before looking at Lin.
"Lin asked me to teach him how to stir-fry pork, so I let him stay here. The pork is already cooked, and we can eat soon."
He nodded vigorously, withdrawing his scrutinizing gaze.
Lin felt a pang of sadness, forcing a smile. Even the meat in his mouth didn't taste good anymore. He ate a little meat and then left the cave in a disheveled state.
Remembering what Qiu had said about Li stealing some ginseng from her, he turned back towards the stone cave.
"Li, come out here for a moment."
Xiao Li was using a thin stone knife to whittle chopsticks, and she made several wooden bowls from a very special tree on the mountain.
This tree is very fragile when it is first cut down, but the longer it is used, the harder the wood becomes. She calls it an iron tree.
Xiaoli is trying to make pots, pans, and ladles, otherwise it's too hot to eat stir-fried meat by hand.
She had been waiting for Lin to come to her for several days, and it was too slow for him to arrive now.
Seeing the hint of anger on Lin's face, Xiao Li understood. Just like before, she smiled and said, "Brother Lin, you've come."
Lin looked at Li's face, which had become several shades paler recently, and was slightly taken aback, thinking that Li had become more handsome.
Thinking of Qiu's aggrieved little face, he put away his softened expression.
"Li, you're so inconsiderate! Quickly take out Qiu's things and go apologize to her."
Xiao Li was surprised that the scumbag was so helpful, and she ran back to the stone cave crying.
Soon, Li and Lan came out. Without saying a word, Lan swung her fist at Lin's passable face.
Lin was waiting for Li to bring out the things, but instead he was met with his future brother-in-law's fist. He couldn't beat Meng, but he couldn't beat Lan, that good-for-nothing?
The two quickly got into a fight, while Li stood aside without saying a word. Soon, a group of tribesmen gathered around, all asking what had happened.
Xiao Li and Yun, who was holding Yu, also came out and explained to the enthusiastic tribespeople.
When Lin was lying on the ground unable to get up, everyone understood what had happened.
"What's wrong with Lin? He actually stood up for Meng, that new woman, and came to question Li, his fiancée."
"Yeah, yeah, is there something between them?"
"He deserves to be hit. This blue is too amazing. I've never seen him this good before."
Lin felt aggrieved. Lan was incredibly strong, and he was in excruciating pain. He hadn't even gotten justice for Qiu yet.
Xiao Li felt smug. Little brat, those few days of drinking the spiritual spring water weren't for nothing. Not to mention she even taught her brother a few acupoints—pain is exactly what it should be like.
