Qu Jing didn't resist anymore.
With eggs and corn to eat, why resist? These things are much tastier than fruits and raw fish.
Qu Jing looked like she accepted it even if it was a last meal, puffing out her cheeks and devouring the corn.
The village head's wife found her expression amusing and exasperating, fearing she'd choke, handed her a glass of water and took the half-eaten corn cob from her hand.
Under Qu Jing's incredulous gaze, filled with the message of "you won't even let me finish my last meal," the village head's wife laughed and said, "Lower your head, let's wash your hair first. There are sweet potatoes in the kitchen, we can eat them after washing your hair."
Qu Jing obediently lowered her head.
Outside the house, the village chief listened with shock as the hunter recounted how he found Qu Jing: "You just picked up a girl in the mountains like that?"
"Someone would abandon a child that grown?"
