For some reason, he always felt that Mo Qianshang's expression when she said those words was very confident, as if she could predict the weather.
Seeing that their master cared about them, the subordinates did not feel bad even though they had to give up the cave.
In their view, they possessed martial arts skills, making them physically stronger than ordinary people and allowing them to travel faster. They also felt sorry for the young masters who were injured.
Once the matter was settled, Qin Baiyi hurriedly parted ways with his subordinates and rushed back as quickly as possible.
At this time, the villagers also received the news, packed their things, and were all looking forward to Qin Baiyi bringing back good news.
Therefore, the moment he appeared, the sharp-eyed people in the village shouted excitedly.
"The man in white is back!"
Mo Qianshang has excellent eyesight and hearing. She put Qin Yuya down from her arms and hurriedly went to meet her.
"How is it? Have you found a place to stay?" She asked the children if they were cold. Although the children all shook their heads, she could tell that the children's complexions were not as good as before.
The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and a lot of rain was being blown into the shed, so even starting a fire wouldn't be very effective.
Seeing the eagerness in the other person's eyes, Qin Baiyi didn't keep them in suspense.
“There’s a cave not far away, big enough for the whole village to stay in.” After he finished speaking, he leaned a little closer to Mo Qianshang, his magnetic voice lowering even further.
"I'll take Heming and Zixuan over first, and you can take the other two children and come later."
"It's inconvenient for you to carry two at once," Mo Qianshang refused without hesitation. "How about we each carry one?"
"It's not good for you." Without saying another word, Qin Baiyi landed beside the two children, picked one up in each arm, took precautions against the rain, told Mo Qianshang the route, and then quickly left.
Without giving Mo Qianshang a chance, she had no choice but to stay behind and lead the others to the cave.
On the way, she slowly figured out why Qin Baiyi did this.
When others can't do something, we don't think it's because they're incompetent; instead, we think the person who did it wasn't good enough to them.
Take this incident for example. If Mo Qianshang had taken the children to that place first and then returned to guide the others in the village, even if she genuinely did it because the children were injured, the others would still feel resentful.
After fleeing famine for so long, everyone is suffering from poor food and sleep, and many people are sick. Why doesn't Mo Qianshang provide such treatment for everyone?
Moreover, the villagers would have to wait longer to get to the cave, which would inevitably lead to resentment.
Qin Baiyi was different; he wasn't from this village, so even if others were twisted and resentful, they couldn't do anything about him.
After all, he doesn't have to live in the village forever, and he doesn't know when he will leave the group of refugees.
The villagers' protests were completely ineffective.
Thinking of this, a warm feeling washed over Mo Qianshang, and her steps became more energetic.
After walking for more than half an hour in the rain, the group finally arrived at the cave.
With just one glance, Mo Qianshang could tell that the cave must have been inhabited not long ago. Even if it had been covered up, someone as experienced in the wild as her could find many traces of life there.
For example, there were several grayish-black marks on the ground, which clearly indicated that someone had lit a fire in the cave before. There were also some stone slabs, the shorter ones could be used as stools, and the taller ones could be used as tables...
Staring at these, Mo Qianshang couldn't help but turn her gaze to Qin Baiyi, her eyes now scrutinizing him more closely.
It seems that the people who used to live here must have had some connection with the person in white.
To avoid being discovered, Mo Qianshang didn't stare for too long. She quickly walked over to them with the other two little ones and secretly had the mall examine Qin Heming and Qin Zixuan's bodies.
After confirming that the two children's health had not been affected by the journey, she smiled and took out the pheasant she had hunted earlier from her bundle.
"It's cold today, so Mom will make you some chicken soup to warm you up. You two stay here and play with the uncle in white."
Despite having drunk Mo Qianshang's chicken soup many times, the little ones still loved it, nodding their heads enthusiastically.
I don't know how my mother made it, but the thin layer of golden oil on top of the soup was incredibly fragrant, yet not greasy at all. It made you want to have a second bowl after just one. It was so tempting!
Thinking that the children were tired, Qin Baiyi took the initiative to start a fire for Mo Qianshang.
Without the two adults watching, the little ones huddled together, and even the youngest, Qin Yuya, now knew that the man in white was their father.
"Big brother, I think Mom and Dad seem a little different than before. What do you think?"
"There has been progress, but..." Qin Heming pinched his brow like a little adult, speaking in a mature manner.
"He's quite different from other couples we've met before. Father hasn't even touched Mother's hand yet, and he doesn't pay much attention to her on a daily basis."
"That's right, our father is really too foolish, he's such a worry!" Qin Zixuan sighed softly, looking up. He noticed that his little sister seemed to want to say something but hesitated, so he quickly waved to her.
"Xiaoya, is there something you want to say? Just say it, your mother and the others can't hear you right now."
The news of this relocation came too suddenly, and the rest of the villagers hadn't eaten yet. Right now, there was a cacophony of pots and pans clattering and fire starting, but the little ones were deliberately trying to keep quiet.
Even with their excellent hearing, Qin Baiyi and Mo Qianshang could only tell that the little ones were chatting, but they couldn't quite make out the details.
Sure enough, Qin Yuya nodded with her brother's encouragement.
"Is the uncle in white really my father?"
Several older brothers nodded in unison, and Qin Yuya secretly glanced at Qin Baiyi, her little mouth pouting high.
"Father is so stupid! I've heard many older girls in the village say that they love flowers, but Father has never given Mother any flowers. Mother definitely doesn't want to talk to Father much."
The little girl's words were like a wake-up call. Qin Heming and the others were, after all, just young boys, and hadn't thought of sending flowers.
At this moment, they stared at Qin Yuya with surprise and delight, eagerly anticipating what their little sister would say next, but she remained silent.
They were sulking, like little pufferfish, so they had no choice but to continue their discussion.
"How about I pick some pretty wildflowers in the mountains tomorrow while I'm gathering herbs, and then ask Father to bring them to Mother?" Qin Qingyu also wanted her parents to be well, and she spoke thoughtfully.
But Qin Zixuan quickly dismissed this idea. He shook his round head and sighed heavily like an old man, looking quite amusing.
"You've probably never been beaten by your father before. How dare you scheme against him so blatantly? Do you really think your father's brain is as bad as ours?"
After his younger brother said that, Qin Qingyu also felt that his idea was inappropriate, and looked at his two older brothers with a bitter face.
"Then what do you suggest we do?"
Qin Heming first shook his head, then nodded, "We definitely need to send flowers, but we need to change the way we do it; we can't be so direct..."
