"Qinglan!"
The others also noticed her and walked over.
Seeing that she was safe and sound, they could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
Before Dong Yao could reprimand her, Shen Qingju scolded, "Shen Qinglan, how old do you think you are? It's fine since you were silly before, but now that you've recovered, you're still so insensible. You didn't even tell your family before you went out, causing everyone in the village to look for you for half a day. Do you know that everyone was worried to death?"
Old Madam Shen and Madam Jiang advised, "Enough, it's good that she's back safely!"
When Shen Qingju heard this, she cried, "You all spoil her. If she didn't tell us before she went out today, she might just disappear tomorrow!"
The others looked at Shen Qinglan helplessly.
Shen Qinglan had lived for two lifetimes, but this was the first time she felt guilty.
In her previous life, she was an orphan. In addition, she did not have much of a sense of presence, so no one cared if she was missing or not, and no one would cry because they could not find her.
Looking at the large group of people in the courtyard who were helpless about her, she was touched.
After she had taken over the original host's body, at first, she just wanted to do the bare minimum to fulfill her duty, but at this moment, she really felt that she should face her identity.
After a moment of silence, Shen Qinglan whispered, "I'm sorry for making everyone worry. I won't do it again!"
Madam Jiang stepped forward to tidy up her messy hair and said, "Alright, good child, it's good that you're back safely!"
Shen Qingping wiped his tears and looked at Shen Qinglan as he said, "Third Sister, what are you holding in your hands?"
Shen Qinglan looked down at it and replied, "Rice."
"Rice?"
Everyone was stunned. Shen Qingzhu and Shen Qingfeng quickly went forward to take the bags of rice.
Shen Shan and Dong Yao also quickly took down the bamboo basket on her back.
Seeing this pile of things, fruits, rice, and meat, the group of people were stunned.
Dong Yao was puzzled and asked, "Qinglan, where did you get this?"
She remembered that she had only given Shen Qinglan two bucks yesterday. Two bucks was not even enough to buy a pear, let alone anything else.
Shen Qinglan called out to everyone in the courtyard and explained, "I went up the mountain to hunt today, then brought it to town to sell."
"Hunting?"
Shen Qinglan nodded.
Other than Shen Shan's family, everyone else was stunned.
"You went hunting alone?" Shen Qinghe asked in disbelief.
Shen Qinglan nodded.
Old Madam Shen patted her chest and said, "How can you be so reckless!?"
The others also looked at her disapprovingly.
Shen Qingping stopped crying and looked up at the others as he said, "My third sister is very capable and can use stones to hunt!"
"Hunt with stones?"
Shen He chuckled and flicked his forehead as he said, "Don't spout nonsense."
He assumed that these children had heard too many martial arts stories and thought that everyone was a martial arts expert.
Shen Qingzhu also said, "What he said is true. I just entered the mountain with Third Sister yesterday. The rabbit meat and bird meat that I sent to Grandfather and Grandmother yesterday, as well as the pheasant for Little Tao, were all hunted by Third Sister."
After he said this, everyone was shocked.
Shen He looked at Shen Shan and asked, "Is what Qingzhu said true?"
Shen Shan pointed at the water tank that had not been repaired in time and said, "The hole in the water tank was made by this girl with a stone. You'll know when you go and take a look."
When Shen He and Shen Tang heard this, they quickly ran over to take a look. When they saw that there was indeed a small hole above the water tank, they could not help but sigh.
