Bai Qingqing sighed. âThereâs no helping it. Bad things might not be any good, and good things might not necessarily be safe. This is how things are over there.â
There was really no helping it. Modern businessmen were only interested in interests. For the sake of money, they could do anything.
They could even scoop up floating oil from the sewers, process them, then sell them in the market. Eggs could be artificial, and even a large amount of rice was genetically modified.
These were just the raw materials. Processed food was even more terrifying. There could be mercury in intestines, one could get intestinal perforation from eating crayfish, there could be newspapers wrapped up in meat bunsâ¦

News of food poisoning was even more common than Chinese cabbage. Bai Qingqing was speechless just at the thought of it. Were these things a human would do?
Curtis hugged her tightly, sharply catching her âover there.â He asked, âIs it that the soil isnât good? Why not go somewhere further away?â
âSomething like that. I didnât have the capability of leaving. I grew up there, and even if I were given the chance to leave, I couldnât bear to.â Bai Qingqing smiled. It was all over, so why was she saying these things to Curtis? Itâd just reflect negativity.
Curtis turned his head and planted a kiss on her forehead, saying, âIâll take good care of you. Iâll definitely not let you live that kind of life again.â
Bai Qingqing instantly felt sweet inside, nodding. To her surprise, she noticed that she had regained her strength. She moved, saying happily, âI can move now.â
âIâll help you down to move around.â Curtis carried her and slid out of the tree hole.
Parker had already buried the fruit and was collecting firewood when she saw Bai Qingqing. He immediately called out, âQingqing, you can move now?â
âMm.â
Parker jumped off from a tree, carrying along a few branches. He asked, âWhat do you want to eat? I can stew them together with the chestnuts.â
Bai Qingqing immediately thought of braised chestnut chicken. She said, âBird.â
âOkay.â
Parker received the order and left. Thankfully, he excelled in climbing trees, and catching birds wasnât difficult for him. It didnât take long for him to catch a big bird with bright colors. He even managed to get a few eggs.
The bird had beautiful feathers that could compete with that of a peacockâs. Bai Qingqing wanted to pick a few for collection.
She walked a few rounds under Curtisâs help. Her body had recovered completely. She let go of Curtisâs hand and chased after Parker to the waterhole.
Bluepool immediately came out to the water surface, looking at Bai Qingqing in an aggrieved manner. âIf you still didnât come, then Iâd go looking for you.â
Bai Qingqing sat by the shore and suggestively looked at him. Then, she looked at the tribal headâs house, asking, âNo females came to accompany you?â
Bluepool appeared impatient at the mention of females. âDonât bring up females in front of me. Iâm now put off by them.â
Bai Qingqing covered her mouth, her black pupils darting around.
Aiyah, they couldnât have bent Bluepool into a gay, could they?
âYouâre an exception,â Bluepool then added.
Parker tore open the birdâs stomach, tearing a few pieces of meat to the leopard cubs that had followed behind him. He stared coldly at Bluepool and said, âAre you asking for a fight?â
âAlright. Where should we do it?â Bluepool questioned without any fear. Parker would win on land, and he would win in the water. Even if Parker were to choose the land, it wouldnât be an honorable victory. If Parker were to choose the water, itâd be good if he could give him a beating.
Parker smiled slyly and threw a glance in the tree holeâs direction. âIâll call Curtis.â

Bluepool immediately sank into the water, not saying anything.
Mollyâs attention was constantly on the waterhole. She came running over when she saw that Bluepool had come out.
âBai Qingqing,â said Molly, smiling, but her gaze kept darting toward the water.
Bluepool let out a helpless sigh and sank into the bottom of the water.
âHey! Why did he go down again?â Molly was disappointed.
Bai Qingqingâs heart suddenly ached for Bluepool. His life here was no different than being in jail.
