The middle-aged man opened his mouth and glanced at the opposite side.

"Should we also send some people to look for water?"

"Okay, you make the arrangements. Oh, and have someone keep an eye on what's going on over there."

The man with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks understood immediately, "I'll arrange it."

"Be careful and don't get into trouble."

The middle-aged man glanced at the people in Xinghua Village. This group of people was not easy to mess with, especially when he saw that they were covered in blood and scars. These people had experienced things and were more ferocious than ordinary refugees.

When Su Yin turned around, she accidentally met the middle-aged village chief, and their eyes met.

The other party was stunned, as if he hadn't expected it, but soon smiled kindly at her.

Su Yin raised her eyebrows, nodded slightly at the other party, and turned her eyes away calmly.

The middle-aged man was looking away, holding his chin with one hand, as if thinking about something.

Wan Sanye came close to Su Yin and asked, "What are we having for dinner tonight?"

Suyin had already steamed the rice and put some dried meat and tiger meat on it.

"cooked rice."

When Wan Sanye heard it, he found it boring and lost interest immediately.

When it was completely dark, Su Baozhu came back with her uncles.

Su Yin noticed the scratches on Su's mother's body at a glance, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay. I just slipped on the mountain."

"Let me see."

Su Yin rolled up her sleeves, which were covered in bruises, and her elbows were broken and bleeding.

Seeing that she was worried, Su's mother held her hand and said, "Oh, I'm really fine."

"Did you hurt your foot?"

Su Yin was worried, so she took off her shoes and socks to check. Sure enough, her ankle was red and swollen, but she didn't say a word.

Su Baozhu immediately found some medicinal wine that was specially used to treat bruises and injuries from the mule cart.

"It will be a little painful when I rub it later, just bear with it. If you don't use too much force, it won't open and won't heal easily."

"Um."

Master Wan San was sitting not far away, glancing over from time to time. When he noticed Su Yin's technique, his gaze stopped.

After taking care of Su Baozhu's injuries, Master Wan San finally waited for dinner to be served.

He sat next to Su Yin and just took a mouthful of millet rice. The flavor of the dried meat seeped into the rice, making the rice seem less monotonous and tasted quite delicious.

Uncle Wan San was very satisfied with just a simple bowl of millet rice. Although it was not as good as delicacies from land and sea, it also had its own unique flavor.

"Girl, I see that you are very professional in treating wounds. Have you learned it?"

Su Yin shook her head. "How can that be possible? When I saw the doctor before, I just copied him."

"That's even more powerful."

"What's so great about it? It's all because of lack of money. If you had that much money, you wouldn't learn it. Don't you think so, Fatty?"

Master Wan San chuckled.

The men of Xinghua Village sat around the fire. Yang Lizheng spoke in a low, earnest voice, "What we encountered today will happen again in the future, and it may be worse than this."

"Those on guard tonight should be extra careful."

He glanced in the direction of the group of people from the mountain village ahead.

Everyone knows it.

"Those who are injured tonight do not need to stand guard, and should have a good rest. Those who are not injured or have only minor injuries will be assigned as before."

Qianshan Village Gathering Place

The man with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks came up to the head of the village and said, "Head, they didn't find a water source. Our people didn't find a water source either."

They were all mentally prepared for such an outcome.

If water sources were that easy to find, the villagers in this area would not leave.

"But..." The sharp-nosed and monkey-faced man lowered his voice and looked at the people opposite him with greedy eyes, "I saw that the few families with cars still have a lot of water."

He looked in the direction of Su Yin. "Among those families, this one has three women and one man. The man is fat and has big ears. It's obvious that he has a lot of money."

It is rare to see such fat and big-eared people in farmers' homes. If they can eat so much, their family must be wealthy.

The people in Qianshan Village were following his gaze, staring in the direction where Su Yin was.

Su Yin seemed to sense something and turned to look across.

The two people opposite seemed not to expect that she would look at them. Even though there was darkness, both sides could see each other.

The two of them immediately retracted their gazes and spoke with their heads down.

"Village head, do you think we should do it later in the night?" A hint of cruelty flashed across the eyes of the man with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks.

Qianshancun was stroking his chin, "We'll do it when we get a chance."

"good."

On the other side, Su Yin watched for a moment. The two people opposite were chatting to themselves, and there was nothing wrong at all.

"Yinyin, what are you looking at?" Su Baozhu followed her gaze. Apart from the people from Qianshan Village, there was nothing special.

"It's okay. I'll go find my third great-grandfather."

Yang Lizheng saw Su Yin coming over and greeted her with a smile, "Su girl, what's up?"

Yang Fu's wife took care of her and helped her sit down.

She sat down next to a big rock.

"Third grandpa, let's set off as early as possible tomorrow morning and put some distance between us and that group of people." Su Yin said.

Yang Lizheng's heart trembled. After walking all this way, he knew that Su Yin was not a person who would attack without purpose. His expression became serious, "Did you find anything?"

Su Yin shook her head. "So far, I haven't found anything wrong, but I have a bad feeling about this group of people. Especially the other party's headman."

The man seemed humble and polite, but he always felt weird.

Yang Lizheng nodded. "Even if they are fine, we still need to keep a distance from them. I'll notify them later. We'll set off immediately after collecting dew tomorrow morning."

Yang Fu took the order from his father and notified everyone one by one, but he did not explain the reason in detail or delve into it. They all nodded in agreement.

When Madam Xu saw Su Yin coming back, she asked casually, "Why are you here early tomorrow morning? I'm afraid we won't have much time to collect dew."

"My third grandfather thought that while the weather was not too hot, he could walk more and sweat less. Sweating less and drinking less water also saves water."

Madam Xu nodded as she listened, "That makes sense."

In fact, given the dryness here, there won't be too much dew, especially near the official road. There will only be some dew deep in the forest, but also very little.

Instead of wasting time here, it is better to leave in advance so that both adults and children can be more comfortable.

Of course, the most important thing is to distance ourselves from the people in Qianshan Village.

Su Yin found her uncle and said, "Uncle, wake me up when the shift changes. I plan to stay for the rest of the night."

"No, I'll let Yang Rong do it for you."

"Don't! Brother Yang Rong has to take care of his children and wife, and look for water. It's too hard. Keeping watch is easy. I can hold on."

Seeing that she insisted, Yang Dashan did not insist anymore.

Su's mother knew that she had to guard the second half of the night, which was the most difficult time and negligence often occurred during this time.

Su Yin was always worried because of the group of people on the other side.

"You should go to bed early."

Su's mother lit mugwort around her to drive away mosquitoes.
