"Xixi, wash up first. The food will be ready in a little while."
Qiao Xixi snapped back to reality, her eyes filled with melancholy.
Jin Ling quickly noticed something was wrong. "What is it? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"
Qiao Xixi shook her head. For a fleeting moment just now, she thought Langqi's retreating figure looked very familiar.
"How are things on Xijing's end? Has he not come back yet?"
Jin Ling said, "He came back the day before yesterday, and I took his place. I'll be going to rotate with him again in a bit."
Qiao Xixi frowned upon hearing this. "The poisoner still hasn't shown up?"
"No. But don't worry, it's only a matter of time. He'll definitely come back."
"Right. I've already given the order to use the water in the tribe for watering plants for now. I told them to fetch drinking water from the river."
"Mm."
At that moment, a group of people arrived outside the tribe's gate.
