Li Qingran wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said obediently:
"Yeah~ I'll listen to you!"
At this time, the two people hugging each other were making their own calculations in their minds.
…
Qi Yanxuan and the other person came to the side and moved everyone's food and supplies out of the space. After they packed up everything, they set off with the group.
When Xiao Haojin saw Qi Yanxuan and his group set off, he also followed with his men.

night.
Qi Yanxuan and a few others were sitting in the tent eating dinner when they heard Xiao Haojin's voice outside.
"Master! Qingran was rude today. We are here to apologize. We hope you will forgive us!"
The group paused while eating, and Qi Yanxuan said to the two people beside him, "You guys continue eating, I'll go out and take a look."
"I'll accompany you."
Shen Yanqing also put down his bowl and chopsticks and accompanied Qi Yanxuan out of the tent.
When Xiao Haojin saw the two people coming out outside the tent, he immediately signaled the follower behind him to hand the pheasant in his hand to Qi Yanxuan.
Qi Yanxuan didn't answer, but looked at Xiao Haojin instead.
"What does the Third Prince mean?"
Xiao Haojin bowed and said, "Qingran was reckless today and spoke against you, sir. Please forgive her for her concern for the people!"
Qi Yanxuan didn't want to get involved with the male and female protagonists and just wanted to get rid of them as soon as possible. He immediately refused and said, "No need. Food is scarce now. The Third Prince should keep it for himself!"
"Don't worry, sir. These pheasants were caught by Qingran. She has always had good luck and will never lack food."
Xiao Haojin looked at Li Qingran with eyes full of approval.
Li Qingran immediately put on a gentle and generous look, but even a blind person could see the smugness in her eyes.
Seeing that Qi Yanxuan didn't want to accept it and the two people opposite him were still entangled, Shen Yanqing's face immediately turned cold.
"We have no shortage of food. The best way to show your apology is to not disturb us. Please go back!"
Upon hearing this, Li Qingran took a step forward, his eyebrows slightly drooping, revealing a pitiful look.
"Sir, if you don't want to accept it, does that mean you still don't want to forgive Qingran?"
"Girl, leave this look to others! Ah Qing and I are not the kind of people who are gentle with women. Excuse me!"
Qi Yanxuan said this with a cold face and ignored the two of them. He and Shen Yanqing went back to continue eating.
Seeing that Qi Yanxuan and Shen Yanqing were so ungrateful, Xiao Haojin and the others felt dissatisfied and just flicked their sleeves and took their people back.
…
After dinner, Qi Yanxuan gave serious instructions to the Shen family father and son.
"Stay away from the man and woman from today and don't get too involved with them."
Those two are the male and female protagonists, while Shen Yanqing and the others are passers-by who are not mentioned in the book. If something happens to them, they may be dragged into the plot to protect the male and female protagonists.
Although the fact that they have special abilities is probably outside the scope of the plot, who knows if they will be implicated if they meet the male and female protagonists? It's better to be safe than sorry.
Upon hearing this, Shen Yanqing thought that there was something wrong with those two people, and said, "Is there something wrong with those two people?"
Seeing that the two were looking at him waiting for an answer, Qi Yanxuan decided to tell them what happened.
"I told you I came from another world. Before coming to this world, I read a storybook, and the scenes happening in this world are the same as those described in that picture book."
Shen Yanqing immediately understood what he said, "You mean this world is the world in the book?"
Qi Yanxuan nodded. "Well, in this vast universe, perhaps a stone or a flower could contain a world. The author of this book only built the framework of the world. The rest is derived from the world itself. The author can't control that much. But the hero and heroine are important characters in the author's work. Once you get close to them, you will inevitably become their stepping stones."
Shen Yanshan: "So you said not to get close to that man and woman because they are the male and female protagonists in the book?"
Qi Yanxuan: "Well! Although they look ordinary, it's better to be cautious."
"good!"
…
Three days later.
The road was littered with corpses and body parts. Whenever he encountered one, Shen Yanqing would burn it, because Qi Yanxuan had said that exposing a large number of corpses would cause disease. Although there were many corpses elsewhere that he couldn't take care of, at least the people on his side would have a lower chance of contracting the disease.
Everyone saw groups of disaster victims in front of them, each with sunken cheeks, dull eyes, and looked extremely tired.
There were also some victims whose food was buried in the devastation of the earthquake, and families without food had no choice but to sell their daughters.
Everywhere you look, you can see elders dragging girls around asking if they want to buy something.
Some sharp-eyed people saw that Qi Yanxuan's team had enough food, and immediately pulled their girls and walked over quickly.
Qi Yanxuan’s carriage was immediately surrounded, and those people stopped in front of the carriage, looking at Shen Yanshan and Shen Yanqing expectantly.
Also stopped was Xu Wenliang, who was also driving a carriage. Compared to Shen Yanshan and Shen Yanqing's unapproachable appearance, Xu Wenliang's gentle and jade-like scholar temperament was more popular, and more people gathered around him.
Those people tried their best to sell it to the few people: "Master, Master, take a look at our daughter! She is still a virgin, whether you buy her back to be a maid or to give birth to a child, she is the best!"
"And my family! Look at that big ass, it's obvious it can give birth to a big fat boy!"
"Look at mine! Such a beautiful figure! For just a bowl of brown rice, please be kind, sirs! Just buy her!"
…
Those people rushed to introduce their girls. For a moment, the area around the carriage was like a vegetable market. Those girls were taken out by their families like livestock for people to choose.
Xu Wenliang tried to persuade them kindly at first, saying that he already had a wife and children. However, he was a little annoyed when he saw that those people had no intention of giving way.
"Get out of the way! I've already told you that I'm married and have children, so stop pestering me!"
Seeing that Xu Wenliang really didn't mean that, those people didn't waste time on him and turned to ask other people.
Shen Yanshan looked at so many girls and thought to himself that Yan Qing and Xiao Xuan hadn't married yet, so now there was a ready-made one! Although these girls were a little dirty, their facial features were pretty good. They should be fine after washing with water.
So he turned to look at Shen Yanqing beside him and asked tentatively: "Yanqing, you and Xiaoxuan are not young anymore, why don't you see if there is anyone you like?"
Shen Yanqing said expressionlessly after hearing this: "No need, we are not getting married."
Seeing his son so stubborn, Shen Yanshan patted him on the back, looking as if he was disappointed with his son.
"You little brat, don't you know that life is so beautiful when you have a wife? If you're not happy, I'll ask Xiaoxuan."
When he heard that he was going to choose a wife for Qi Yanxuan, even though he knew that he would not accept it, he still felt uncomfortable. Shen Yanqing's face seemed to be as cold as ice slag, and his voice was a little cold.
"Ah Xuan doesn't want a wife either! Dad, if you want one, you can buy one for yourself!"
