Chapter 67: Chapter 67 Reset to Zero Chapter 67: Chapter 67 Reset to Zero Bai Junjun smiled and patted her on the head.
“Thank you all.”
“Are you hungry? We should be stopping to set up camp soon, and then I will make you so mushroom soup.”
Old Uncle Qiu looked up at the sky.
In the countryside, most households only ate two als a day, and during the escape, it was even more uncertain.
However, the Seven-Person Team, no matter where they went, would always set up camp on ti for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, prioritizing alti.
Others could choose to stay or leave, but they would definitely stop to eat.
Because of this, the refugees had more ti to rest, and they would actively look for food around al tis.
Old Uncle Qiu had figured out the Seven-Person Team’s routine, and since they had food, their journey was less stressful.
Once Bai Junjun understood the Seven-Person Team’s schedule, she continued to lay on Qiu Da’s back to rest.
Seeing her resting with her eyes closed, everyone tacitly stopped talking to avoid disturbing her, but they quickened their pace a bit since being at the back of the group still felt slightly insecure.
Bai Junjun pretended to rest but was actually hastening her “Special Ability” within the Qi Sea.
The green bean-sized seedling that had sprouted was now dull and colorless, so faint that if one didn’t look carefully, they might think the seed didn’t exist.
Bai Junjun tried to push the energy from the surrounding grass and trees into her Qi Sea, but what was usually a light energy felt extrely heavy now. She felt dizzy and nearly fainted just after one cycle.
Bai Junjun also understood this was a consequence of depleting her essence blood, estimating it would take ten to fifteen days to recover, and she could only slowly nurture it back to health.
Although the price was steep, Bai Junjun felt it was worth it because she managed to save the Qiu family father and son.
The “Special Ability” could be picked up again later.
Bai Junjun continued patiently transporting the energy of grass and trees, but this ti, she only got halfway through the cycle when she felt Qiu stop.
She opened her eyes, puzzled.
She saw a large crowd of people who had all stopped and were no longer moving.
So were sitting in pairs or groups, others were scattering in all directions.
“?” Before Bai Junjun could ask, Uncle Qiu explained with a smile, “Looks like we’ll be camping here tonight.”
Qiu Er, Qiu San, and Madam Liu successively put down their children, and after Madam Liu arranged a clean spot, Qiu Da then carefully set Bai Junjun down.
Everyone had been this cautious with her these past days, even making sure to keep her by their side while she was unconscious during als.
Passersby, unaware of the relationship between Old Uncle Qiu and the Bai Family, thought all the children belonged to Old Uncle Qiu’s family and found it peculiar.
After all, in these tis, human life was cheap, and girls were often sold for grain; not like Old Uncle Qiu’s family, who had been protecting the frail little daughter the whole way, taking great care with her.
People had thought the little girl wouldn’t make it, as they hadn’t seen her awake in days, and she couldn’t eat anything, surviving only on a little water.
But unexpectedly, she had awakened.
Yet looking at her feeble appearance, without the nourishnt of items as precious as Giant Mountain Ginseng, how could she possibly recover?
Even if she awoke, she would be nothing but a burden that would add to the troubles of Old Uncle Qiu’s family.
However, as the involved parties said nothing, the others were even less likely to comnt.
Therefore, the onlookers rely glanced at her with curiosity before shifting their gaze elsewhere, going about their own business.
Old Uncle Qiu’s family didn’t care what others thought.
Now that Bai Junjun was awake, they were even more motivated to cook.
They were still frugal, with 2 bamboo tubes and 3 water bladders of Immortal Water left, and although Bai Junjun had awakened, they still decided to keep this good water for her to strengthen her body.
