Feng Qingxue fell silent right away.
She had seen such fragmented records in the reports, even rumors that one could cure swelling from malnutrition and starvation by consuming human flesh. Hence, she helped the Caohu team to gather a batch of food years ago.
Once she was passing through the Caohu team, she caught sight of someone looking at a child with a particularly horrifying gaze.
Feng Qingyun was warm and well-fed, plump and cute. This sort of gaze had been cast on him more than once.
That's why, when she couldn't take Feng Qingyun out with her, she entrusted him to a clan elder. Each time, she issued countless instructions before departing. She was anxious. She feared that in her absence, someone desperate with hunger would snatch away Feng Qingyun and eat him.
"A group of children living alone like you, haven't you attracted unwanted attention?"
