"I won't, now let me go." Qing Zhu wasn't stupid. The first mishap could be chalked up to an accident, a mistake, but what about the second time? Could that still be considered an accident?
Since she couldn't match his skills, why waste more effort? She was starving, exhausted, and out of strength. Whatever he wanted to do, she couldn't fight him off. She might as well concede defeat now.

In the darkness, Qing Zhu couldn't see the face of the man behind her, but his voice and build told her that it was a man.
"I mean it. Why did you stop me earlier? I was going to look for that child." Qing Zhu tried to stand, but her legs had cramped from squatting too long. As soon as she half-stood, she teetered and fell straight forward.
