~End of chapter 22

The last time Mu Qing ate was the day before at noon on the canoe with Li Mang. By now, her stomach was unbearably empty. She looked through the hut, but there was nothing she could eat, and now she even started to miss that piece of venison. Thê source of this content n/o/v/(el)bi((n))

Mu Qing sat back for a while. She was hungry to the point where her heart was beating frantically and her breath was short. In the end, she decided to quietly go outside and look, to see if there was anything to fill her stomach with.

The woman laughed again and pointed her finger at the hut she had came out of, she said a series of words. Mu Qing turned her head back to look, but nothing was amiss, when she turned her back again, she then somewhat understood, could it be that Li Mang, before leaving, had given instructions to that woman, which was the reason why she was able to fill her stomach at this time?? Or maybe, if she thought about it in a less nice manner, he might have also instructed the woman to keep watch on her.

She nodded her head towards that friendly woman, indicating that she understood.

Although Li Mang had brought her back openly this morning, Mu Qing was still a little worried that she would come across the chief. He was the one person she didn’t want to see now. Just now, she had come out because she was hungry, and now that she had solved her physiological needs, she did not want to stroll around in that place where it was unclear whether people were harboring good or hostile intentions towards her.

She touched the little girl’s face who was squatting in front of her, looking at her with some curiosity. Mu Qing smiled faintly at her, and then went back to that hut.

The little girl was very thin, her entire body was naked, but she had a pair of clear black eyes, the same clear and pure eyes as children in the world outside of here.

Mu Qing stayed in the hut, until the sun outside started inclining to the west.
