Su Nanxi glanced over there again, then quickly looked away.

That's their family matter; let them handle it themselves.

There are plenty of poor families; she can't possibly pick up every single one she sees!

move on.

Mind your own business and stop worrying about things that don't concern you!

Everyone quickly forgot about it, but one person didn't forget: Mrs. He.

She could see very clearly that although Ah Lian was unwilling, she obediently followed him out in no time!

It's incredible!

If there wasn't something going on, she wouldn't believe it even if you beat her to death!

She suspected that Su Nanxi had used some underhanded tactics, but she had no evidence!

She was right there watching, but she couldn't figure out what was going on!

But she was certain there was something fishy going on!

At this moment, Madam He had no intention of standing up for Ah Lian; all she could think about was what to do for herself!

She had offended Su Nanxi before, and she was worried that Su Nanxi would take action against her!

If we can deal with A-Lian without making a sound, then we can deal with her just as easily!

Su Nanxi hasn't made a move against her yet, probably out of respect for the Zhou family. If the Zhou family also abandons her, then her situation will be completely over!

The more I thought about it, the more scared I became, and my mind kept racing with thoughts of what to do.

I was so anxious I was practically pacing around in circles, sweat pouring down my face.

They've finally learned to be afraid.

Su Nanxi didn't even notice He Shi; she couldn't be bothered to care.

Since He is so capable, then let's follow her. Anyway, she told the village chief that we won't starve, but we shouldn't expect to eat well either!

How can you know how fortunate you are without experiencing some hardship?

He looks like someone who hasn't been toughened up by society!

They'll behave after a few beatings.

Everyone else had doubts about A-Lian's situation, but they quickly moved on and didn't pay much attention. However, Mo Qinghe did.

"Honey, why did that woman suddenly agree to come out with you? Is there some secret? Teach me!"

Mo Qinghe leaned close to Su Nanxi and whispered, "Tsk, she's even acting cute!"

Su Nanxi glanced at his handsome face. Sigh, it was covered in dirt. She wondered if he was doing it on purpose, deliberately hiding his good looks.

He looked away, coughed lightly, and answered seriously, "There aren't that many tricks to it! I didn't say much, I just told her to leave, and she followed me out on her own! I guess she figured it out and couldn't bear to see her own mother heartbroken!"

Anyway, nobody knows the truth, as long as the matter is resolved perfectly, the process doesn't matter!

Besides, can she talk about what happened?

Of course I can't tell!

Didn't you see a bunch of people behind you craning their necks and tilting their ears curiously?

Others might have ears on the walls, but now they have ears everywhere!

Even if there is something, it can't be brought up in public!

Anyway, she didn't do anything!

Mo Qinghe was incredibly perceptive; he sensed the restless activity behind him, yet he still chose to trust.

Whatever my wife says goes. What bad intentions could she possibly have?

Since no one heard what they wanted to hear, they had no choice but to give up.

After walking for most of the day, everyone had drunk a lot of water and asked the village chief if there was a river or something ahead so they could replenish their water.

The village chief inwardly groaned; how could he know so much? Was he a god?

The situation is changing so fast, who can predict what will happen?

Even if I've been here before, that's all in the past!

I thought he didn't want to know? He'd be dreaming about it!

well!

Asking him about this is unreliable; in the end, you should ask the mute woman!

Her intuition is much more accurate than his; if you're sure, ask her—she's the most reliable person to know!

At least among so many people, they can only trust her!

Well, the mute girl is lucky; she always seems to encounter good things. Who else would you believe if not her?

"I don't know either. Judging from the terrain, there probably aren't any major rivers!"

Su Nanxi remained silent for a while before giving the village chief an answer.

How could she know so much!

She just made up the terrain and stuff; she didn't understand it at all. She wasn't a tomb raider, so she didn't know anything about geography.

Besides, how can one see the distant world from a narrow path!

Without a drone, I probably wouldn't be able to figure it out!

When asked, she just guessed; her intuition told her there wasn't one. It's best to answer honestly.

If it exists, that would be a pleasant surprise, better than disappointment!

The village chief's heart sank. It was all over. Even the mute woman had a feeling there was no water, so there was probably none left!

Everyone had to be as frugal as possible, saving the water for emergencies, and not drink too much!

As it got dark, we still hadn't found any water source, and we didn't see a river at all.

But they faced the choice of where to spend the night.

They arrived at a village, but everyone had left, presumably fleeing elsewhere; the village was desolate and bleak.

Every household closed their doors and bolts.

The village chief decided to find a place in the village to spend the night. After searching around, he finally found an open space that looked a bit like the old tree in Changna Village.

It looks alright, spacious enough; it's probably a place where people gather on weekdays.

They'll just have to make do. They don't have any other choice. It's not appropriate to go into someone else's house. Even though they're not home anymore, it's still their home!

Don't touch other people's things without permission. There are many of them, and no one can accommodate them all.

The open space outside is perfect. We can light a fire, gather around it, and if any emergencies occur, we can resolve them quickly.

One downside is that the place to gather firewood is a bit far, but fortunately there are many of them, and they all do farm work on a regular basis. They also brought their own machetes, so it wasn't a big problem.

Firewood is easy to find, but food is hard to find. The weather is too dry, and wild vegetables are nowhere to be found. It's probably been all dug up by the locals.

They went to the village wells to look for water, but after searching several wells, they couldn't get any water. In desperation, they had no choice but to look for water in the mountain stream.

But all their efforts were in vain.

In the end, it was Su Nanxi who had to step in.

She picked up a wooden bucket and ran towards the mountainside, already knowing the answer in her heart.

If other villagers can't find it, how can she be sure she can?

But she couldn't not go, so she had to go. Regardless of whether there was any fish or not by the mountain, she could only take some back with her.

Mo Qinghe and Xiao Wu went along, both worried about Su Nanxi and unwilling to let her go alone.

Su Nanxi let them be, figuring she could get rid of them eventually anyway.

The mountains here aren't high, and the trees aren't very lush, so they don't look like they can hold much water. Sigh, I guess there's no water left.

As we walked along, there were no streams or ditches, not a drop of water at all!

Tsk, I guessed right!

Upon reaching the foot of the mountain, they still found nothing.

But he had to find an excuse to get water. Su Nanxi poked around at the stream at the foot of the mountain for a while. The soil under the grass was a little damp. Hmm, he had an idea!

She simply pressed the wooden bucket down there, saying without batting an eye that water would seep out.

"Let's go check over there, we'll have to wait a while for the water anyway!"

"Pheasants and rabbits! Come over here quickly! Over there! Have you caught them yet?"
