They were unsure of what to do next. The Chief was anxious, so he summoned the Junior Officer to discuss this matter. They had to think of a way for everyone to survive.
However, they could not decide on anything.
An Jiuyue thought for a mont and replied, “You can roast the wild boar at in the afternoon today. I’ll go back into the mountains later to see if I can hunt anything else. We can also ask everyone to gather more vegetables. There will be enough to eat.”
“You’re going into the mountains again?” Aunt Ju looked at her worriedly.
“I’ll look around again,” An Jiuyue said.
There were so many people here. They could not possibly survive on vegetable porridge alone.
“I’ll bring out the other piece of wild boar at from my kitchen if we are really out of food. We have to let the people eat. We can’t keep everyone starving.”
…
After everyone had so vegetable porridge in the afternoon, An Jiuyue carried the two sleeping babies upstairs so that Zheng’er and Rong’er could watch over them.
Picking up her bamboo basket, she entered the mountains again.
This ti, she was accompanied by soone. It made her feel a little uncomfortable.
“Why did you follow ?”
“It’s dangerous in the mountains,” the man calmly replied as he walked beside An Jiuyue.
He was right—it was dangerous in the mountains. It was even more dangerous now that many animals were fleeing due to the flood.
An Jiuyue was confused.
She wanted to ask if he could not tell that she lived on the mountain. How would she be afraid of danger if she lived here? Besides, she genuinely believed that it was more dangerous having him around.
However, she could not stop him from following her either. He was worried about her, so she could not take his goodwill for ill intent.
“Alright, you can follow if you want. I—”
“Qian Jiyun.”
“Hm?”
She was interrupted before she could finish her sentence. She stopped in her tracks and almost lost her balance, nearly toppling over.
She looked up at the man in a daze, her beautiful eyes visibly startled.
“What did you just say?”
“I’m Qian Jiyun,” the man repeated his na.
An Jiuyue couldn’t help but cough. “Ahem, ahem!”
For the first ti in her two lives, she choked on her saliva. She almost cursed the man to death silently.
“What did you say your na was? Qian Jiyun? Which… which Qian Jiyun?”
Which Qian Jiyun? Does this young lady know soone with the sa na as ?
“Do you know soone nad Qian Jiyun?” he asked.
“No, no,” An Jiuyue denied, shaking her head hurriedly, “I ant to ask you how your na is written.”
She ca up with a reason quickly to hide her shock.
Is this person the sa Qian Jiyun I’m thinking about?
No, no, no, that’s not possible! That scum is already dead. How can he still be alive?
“Master, what’s wrong? Is there a problem with this person?” Wei Na found it strange that its master seed so uneasy.
“Why are you feeling so guilty towards a stranger? Did you do sothing wrong?”
“As if!” An Jiuyue snapped angrily, “Don’t you know who Qian Jiyun is? He’s the Host’s short-lived husband! Why would I be feeling guilty?”
“Huh?!” Wei Na choked.
