Fortunately, there were no elderly, women, or children among them. Otherwise, the cave would definitely be filled with cries. However, although there were no loud crying, there were endless strings of curses and complaints.
Some cursed An Jiuyue for being inhumane, while others hoped she would be struck by lightning!
“All of you…”
The Chief took a deep breath and was about to rebuke them when he was interrupted by the sound of footsteps outside.
“There’s noise outside?”
The others also reacted to the sound and looked towards the entrance of the cave nervously.
They could not tell if the footsteps belonged to wild beasts or humans. They were afraid, but they did not even have a single weapon to defend themselves.
If a wild beast really attacked, they could only use their fists to fight back. How could they not be afraid?
“Chief, are you there?”
Suddenly, they heard a familiar voice.
“Master, why are you calling out to them? This bunch of heartless things… You shouldn’t have brought them porridge. You should just let them starve to death.” Wei Na kept muttering in its master’s mind.
If I can come out, I will definitely punish these people for all the wicked things they said!
“Wouldn’t it be a waste of my effort rescuing everyone if they starve to death?” An Jiuyue snapped at it.
Speaking of which, she had also just discovered that she could also earn points from rescuing people. She had saved so many people and could be rewarded 10 points for every person had saved. She had no problem reclaiming two or three pieces of jade land now.
“This is all to earn points! Earn points!”
“Then you should leave them until they’re half-dead before rescuing them! It’s like reusing and recycling! You can earn double the points!” Wei Na reasoned.
An Jiuyue was silent.
I shouldn’t have started talking to this thing. Double the points? If you can be rewarded for something, you can definitely be punished for another!
What if I harm these people and the Points Mall deducts my points? I don’t want to take such a risk!
“You’d better shut up. I want some peace.”
“Oh, it’s Jiuyue.”
When the Chief heard her voice, he heaved a sigh of relief. It was fine as long as it was not a wild beast. They did not have any weapon to defend themselves now.
“Jiuyue, it’s us. We’re inside!” he shouted out.
Soon, An Jiuyue entered. She was carrying something on her back and held a flame stick in her hand to help her see in the dark.
“Chief, I brought some plain porridge. Here are some bamboo tubes that can be used to scoop the porridge. You can also use this firewood and dry your clothes first. If the firewood isn’t enough, you can go outside, gather some and put them over the fire to dry.”
She put the things down as she spoke.
“Jiuyue, thank—”
“If you have plain porridge, why did you not bring it over earlier? You b*tch, hurry up and serve us some!”
Aunt Kang interrupted the Chief with her rude words, even ordering An Jiuyue as if she was her slave.
The Chief’s face darkened instantly. Under the illumination of the flame stick, he looked straight at his wife’s vile face and slapped her.
He had long wanted to hit this foul-mouthed woman. He was nauseated by her behavior.
“Don’t you have hands and feet? Can’t you scoop it on your own? Weren’t you complaining about Jiuyue a moment ago? Then why should you have the porridge she brought? Move aside!”
