After all, there is a severe drought now, and it will be a long time before the grain ripens. They don't know how long they can keep carrying water to irrigate the grain every day!

Now that locusts can make money, they are even thinking that they should just let the locusts run rampant!

This way, I can at least earn some income and won't have to sell my children!

Lin Ru could tell what they were thinking just by looking at their expressions!

She added, "There's a severe drought this year! Many places have suffered total crop failure. You should focus on growing your own crops, and I guarantee you! If the crops are successful, I'll buy them! I'll definitely give you a satisfactory price!"

"People are only interested in locusts for a short time!"

"Focusing on growing good crops is the right path; don't always think about crooked and unethical things!"

Kang Dachuan and the others quickly replied, "Goddess, rest assured, we will absolutely not abandon the grain in the fields!"

Lin Ru nodded in satisfaction. Just as she was about to say a few more words, a person suddenly burst in through the door. The person's clothes were disheveled and he had many injuries on his body!

Wu Juan ran over in surprise and helped the injured man up!

"Little Liangzi! How did you get hurt like this?"

"Didn't Miss send you over to escort Young Master Xu?"

Xiao Liangzi opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word before fainting!

Seeing this, Lin Ru quickly stood up and ordered someone to send Kang Dachuan and his men out!

Then he quickly walked to Xiao Liangzi's side and carefully examined his injuries!

Most of the injuries were superficial. The reason he fainted was probably because he was exhausted. He likely didn't drink water or eat anything along the way! Plus, the wounds were a bit infected!

She quickly ordered someone to carry Xiao Liangzi into the house, took out a small porcelain bottle from her sleeve, and handed it to Wu An, who was standing next to her, so that he could apply medicine to Wu Liangzi!

She also personally prepared some rice porridge for Xiao Liangzi. The rice was grown in her space and irrigated with spiritual spring water. She also set up a spirit-gathering array around the rice, so it could be considered spiritual rice!

And the water used to cook the rice is also from a sacred spring!

To ensure a balanced diet, three pheasants were caught from the space. After processing and cooking them, the chicken meat was removed, cut into shreds, and put into the pot!

I cooked three huge pots of chicken congee!

Wu Ling and Wu Juan wanted to help, but she chased them away!

"I can handle this myself! You guys go and get the brothers!"

"Line up for some porridge, a late-night treat!"

"It seems something has happened to Xu Yixuan. Once Xiao Liangzi wakes up, I'll ask him carefully where the accident happened. We need to go and rescue that young master Xu!"

Wu Juan smelled the sweet scent in the air and muttered jealously, "Miss, you're being too biased! Xiao Liangzi's injuries will heal in a few days. We've had several injuries that were more serious than his before!"

"You actually cooked for him yourself, and it was fine rice porridge! He'll be so happy when Xiao Liangzi wakes up!"

"And what about Xu Yixuan! Why are you so concerned about whether he lives or dies?"

"His health is failing, and you not only treated his illness but also gave him that miraculous medicine! You even sent Xiao Liangzi with him, and now you're going to save him!"

"Could it be that you've fallen for that pretty boy?"

Wu Ling, who was standing next to her, didn't think much of it at first, only worried that Lin Ru would get tired. But now, after hearing Wu Juan's words, he suddenly felt sad!

Xu Yixuan's sudden appearance made him feel uneasy, for some reason! Especially when he saw how attentive and special Lin Ru was to that boy, his anxiety reached its peak!

When he grabbed Xu Yixuan outside the carriage, he actually had murderous intent in his heart!

He hadn't felt this way in a long time, so desperately wanting to kill someone!

This feeling made him feel like he was back in his childhood, when everyone said he had gone mad from practicing martial arts!

At that time, all he wanted to do was kill, and he felt that the sword in his hand was the sword of slaughter!

However, he suppressed his inner demons and only when he met Lin Ru did he strengthen his resolve and realize that the sword he held was a sword of protection!

He thought he could protect Lin Ru for the rest of his life and stay with her forever!

But the appearance of this man made him feel threatened!

He lowered his head, trying to hide the murderous intent in his eyes. He nervously gripped his sleeves, afraid of hearing the confirmation he had received!

However, he couldn't control the force in his hands, and as soon as he squeezed, the sleeve tore apart!

He stared blankly at the sleeve for a moment before he came to his senses and quickly let go of it. He felt even more upset, because this dress was made for him by his young mistress at her own expense!

His heart was in turmoil, and he was extremely distressed!

Lin Ru was completely unaware. She calmly opened the pot and stirred the thick chicken porridge inside. Feeling it was almost ready, she thought it was safe to eat! She took a small amount of fine powder from the porcelain jar next to her and sprinkled it carefully into the three pots!

Mix well!

Then he personally scooped two small basins out of the pot and carried them to Wu Ling and Wu Juan's side!

"Stop talking nonsense! I only met that young master Xu once, so there's no question of liking or disliking him. Of course, I like you all the most!"

"Quick! Try it! Is it delicious?"

"I didn't just make this for Xiao Liangzi! You've all worked so hard these past few days! I just wanted to cook something for you myself to treat you."

"Little Liang, it's just something you did on the side, don't be jealous!"

Wu Juan was finally satisfied and took the bowl of fragrant chicken porridge from Lin Ru's hands!

She couldn't suppress the smile on her lips, but still said with a hint of arrogance, "I'm not jealous! The clan leader is everyone's clan leader! Little Liangzi is also your clansman!"

"Anyway, I like the group leader the most. Since it's such a coincidence that the clan leader likes me the most too, I'll just have to give it a try!"

Lin Ru found her proud and arrogant little face amusing and felt a desire to tease her!

She moved the bowl in her hand back slightly, "Since it's only barely enough, then I'll reluctantly find someone else to taste this porridge!"

Wu Juan stared intently at the pot of porridge, sobbing, "No, no! I was just saying that, and you took it seriously! I want to drink it, I really want to drink it so badly."

"Didn't you just say that I'm your favorite?"

"Then of course I should be the first to taste this porridge!"

Lin Ru was both amused and exasperated by her adaptable and flexible manner!

He quickly handed over the chicken porridge he was holding!

"Alright! Alright! Hurry up and take your porridge to find the other tribesmen! Tell them to come and line up for food!"
