    No wonder the girls were overjoyed when they met the person they most wanted to see when they were most hesitant and helpless.  They gathered around him spontaneously, but were careful not to make a sound.  Although the refugee camp is far away, there is no guarantee that no one will happen to pass by nearby.  Everything is based on caution.  But even Quan Hao could see the dependence in their eyes.  He knew that he had been regarded as the only backbone by the girls.

    These six little girls are his final team to fight against Xian Lin.  Quan Hao looked at them with emotion.  He once gave them codenames, A, B, C, Ding and W. The little girl is all here.  Although they look like they would fall over if the wind blows, they are still capable of serving as eyes and ears.  The most important thing at this stage is to organize them and knead them into a whole under Quan Hao's command.

    The steamed buns in Quanhao's bag were prepared for them, and he immediately distributed them one by one.  The six girls had not been hungry for more than ten days. Suddenly, when they woke up early in the morning, they seemed to be back to the refugee life of hungry people.  This shock, which was like waking up from a sweet dream, made them regress in their thoughts and behaviors.  I couldn't stop drooling when I saw the big steamed buns as white as snow.  There was a rat-like chewing sound all around.  They ate so voraciously that they didn¡¯t look like girls at all.  In less than seven minutes, the fastest one had finished eating, and even the youngest girl had most of the buns in her hands destroyed.  The steamed buns Quan Hao bought were quite generous, and half of them were supposed to be enough to fill their stomachs.  But no one had any intention of saving some of it to eat later when they were hungry.  They have experienced many hardships and understand very well that food cannot be saved when they are surrounded by greedy and malicious people.

    Seeing that the girls had almost finished eating, Quan Hao asked in Aboriginal language: "Is it delicious?"

    All six little girls nodded vigorously.  There was no machine processing method in this era, so steamed buns that were so white and big had to be steamed through complicated sieving in a basket.  Even the landlord's family may not be able to eat every meal.  Children from poor families like them have never even seen food, let alone food.

    Quanhao changed his tone of voice.  "Eat tomorrow?"

    The girls¡¯ eyes lit up.  After all, they have seen rice more often and are not as rare as steamed buns.  In terms of weight, the steamed buns are much larger.  This means that not only has the food eaten every day not been reduced, but it has also been upgraded to a higher level.  Naturally, I am absolutely sure.

    But this time Quan Hao¡¯s steamed buns are not free.  The lesson of treating a good person as an enemy last time gave him a deep understanding of the principle of promoting rice and grudges.  He and the girls agreed that they would exchange a beautiful conch for his steamed buns.  Conch prefers to live in environments such as coral reefs and rocks.  If you want to find a lot of them on the island, you have to at least go close to the Boundary Mountain.  Such a round trip is not close, so his steamed buns can be regarded as the girls' labor in exchange.  Moreover, conch is a very common marine life. Unlike coral, which is a protected animal, Quan Hao, who is beautiful enough, can be sold on the earth.  This was an idea that came to him when he was worried about making ends meet.  By the way, it also solved his problem of distributing food in name, killing two birds with one stone.

    The girls are also very satisfied.  It's just a walk. When you were a refugee, why didn't you walk thirty or fifty kilometers?  Conch is even worthless.  This kind of food is readily available on the beach. Except for the hungry and anxious people, no one will pay attention to it.  Even if it is deliberately beautiful, it is far inferior to steamed buns.

    As time goes by, the sun rises higher and higher, and the sea fog becomes lighter and lighter.  It was inconvenient for Quan Hao to stay for a long time, so he told the girls to come here an hour early tomorrow to wait for him.  He also specifically warned them not to mention this matter to anyone.  Except for six of my own people, the secret must be strictly kept from everyone else.  If anyone dared to tell the truth, Quan Hao took off the spear gun on his back and made a fierce expression.  "die!"

    No one hesitated.  The girls have deep grievances against other refugees, and even without Quan Hao's threat, they would not have become the informant.

    Through the experience of working together for more than ten days, plus being ostracized at the same time, and having to form a group because they felt the ill will of too many people, the six girls who originally did not know each other have become a group.  But Quan Hao believes that the collective is not close enough and he needs to speed up the process.  For now, nothing can enhance members' attachment to the group more than jointly keeping a secret that benefits everyone in the group.

    In the reluctant eyes of the girls, Quan Hao drove the boat straight to the Southern Peninsula.  Because he wanted to hide his whereabouts, he didn't even return to Granite Palace.  After parking the boat behind Jie Shan, Quan Hao climbed about 20 meters along the coast and sat under a fir tree to rest and pass the time.  At this moment, he saw the bad side of the time and space gate being frozen in time other than the world he was in. He had to stay in the island world until tomorrow morning.  However, he had a strong desire to look good to Xian Lin and the refugees who betrayed him, so he didn't feel uncomfortable.

    It was almost dark before he went back to the Granite Palace to rest, continuing to endure the wet and hard ground.  What's strange is that he didn't find a bonfire in the direction of the refugee camp all night.  Quan Hao didn't know what Xian Lin was up to. He was worried.Coupled with the poor environment, he tossed and turned all night and had difficulty falling asleep.

    Quan Hao rushed back to the boat early the next morning.  Although he was eager to understand the situation in the refugee camp, he did not forget to move all the items on the ship except the ballast and gear to the shore.  The ship was also washed with sea water.  At the appointed time, he showed up exactly where he was yesterday, and six girls who had been waiting for a long time ran towards him.

    Quan Hao then learned that Xian Lin had abandoned his original camp in order to eliminate his influence among the refugees.  We moved to the southern peninsula with everyone.  The old man's decisiveness can be seen by cutting supplies first and then moving them within one day.  However, he also argued that the original camp was too far away from the water source, and it was very inconvenient to spend a lot of effort to move it every day.  It is better to move directly to the water source area, which will make it much more convenient to draw water.  His decision was of course unanimously welcomed by the men.  When Quanhao was in charge, the task of transporting drinking water had always been on their heads.  Carrying two buckets of water weighing 40 kilograms and walking five to six kilometers every day was hard work, but now I feel relaxed.  From what the girls said, Quan Hao was roughly sure that the new camp Xian Lin chose was by the waterhole where he often took people to get water.  In this way, the risk of him being discovered in the Northern Peninsula is greatly reduced.

    But at the same time, he was a little worried about the girls being restricted from moving.  Later I realized that his worries were unnecessary.  The girls are almost in a state of abandonment.  Maybe Xianlin thinks that six little girls can't become something big.  Let them go and let them suffer more. After a while, they will naturally cry and beg him to go back.  Moreover, Quan Hao figured out the old man's heart and felt that he might not have any intention of taking advantage of the girls.  With these six role models around, the rest of them will behave obediently, otherwise they will have to consider whether they will suffer the same fate as the girls.
