Chapter 43 Free Labor
"It was... Liuzi who did it!"
A gangster stood up, his head lowered, his hands tightly clutching the corners of his clothes, not daring to look at his companions at all.
"Sixth son?" Shen Jinan narrowed his eyes slightly.
She had an impression of this person. It seemed that he was just a dog under Liu Datou, and he was the one who always took the initiative in everything.
After asking clearly, Shen Jinan learned that the culprit was Shen Xitang, and she was silent for a moment.
"She's your sister. If you're having trouble, don't get involved. Let me handle it."
Gu Yanqing's eyes dimmed slightly, and her figure was reflected in his dark eyes.
“You…” Shen Jinan was a little moved.
He was actually able to consider his own thoughts at this time and didn't want to embarrass himself.
Shen Jinan took a step forward, hugged Gu Yanqing tightly, and said softly: "I have long regarded Suisui and Huanhuan as my own children, and I will not be soft-hearted."
Not to mention that she didn't treat Chen Xitang as a sister, even the original owner was never considered a family member by them. What was so difficult about this decision?
"I was just thinking about how to deal with these people and was a little distracted. As for Shen Xitang's account, I will get it back from her." Shen Jinan let go of him without any hesitation.
The fragrance around her lingered at the tip of his nose, and the determination in her eyes moved Gu Yanqing, but he felt more distressed.
"We will always be your family." Gu Yanqing held Shen Jinan's hand, looked at her deeply, and made his attitude clear.
"I know they never considered me a family member. I have nothing to do with their family anymore." Shen Jinan held his fingers tightly, his tone cold.
She was not joking, and this reiteration was also to reassure Gu Yanqing.
Gu Yanqing has already made his attitude clear, and I can't let him down.
She will never let go of anyone who has hurt Suisui and Huanhuan many times.
As he spoke, Shen Jinan couldn't help but soften his tone, patted his hand and said, "Now in my heart, the child and your illness are the most important. You must not think too much."
Gu Yanqing's ears turned slightly red, and his fingers couldn't help but move, holding her hand and not wanting to let go.
Unexpectedly, Shen Jinan let him go the next second, took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve, poured out some medicine, and fed each of the gangsters a bowl of pills.
"This is a poison I developed myself. You must come to me once a month to take the antidote. Otherwise, your intestines will rupture and you will die from the pain."
As Shen Jinan spoke, he saw that Liu Datou's dark complexion was a little strange, and he curled his lips slightly, saying in a light tone: "Of course, if you don't believe it, you can also wait and see what the end will be."
Instead of dealing with these thugs, it would be better to recruit them for her own use. She has no physical power and cannot stay with the children to protect them all the time.
Judging from what happened today, Commander Lin is sometimes unreliable.
These desperadoes were easier to control than someone as cautious as him.
Shen Jinan couldn't make Commander Lin work for him wholeheartedly, but it was different after these people took his medicine.
"We understand..." The gangsters lowered their heads one by one, not knowing what they were planning, but they still agreed.
However, even if these people were used for his own purposes, Shen Jinan had no intention of letting them go.
Although Suisui and Huanhuan were fine, Officer Xu actually took the blame for them.
We can't just let it go like this.
Shen Jinan waved his hand, his slender white fingers pointing to a row of baskets on the ground. "You guys have nothing to do anyway, so why don't you stay up tonight? Sort all these herbs into categories, and then grind them into powder according to the recipe I wrote."
It looked like a backpack half a person's height, and it was full of medicinal herbs.
Liu Datou and others resisted in their hearts and were unwilling to do so.
"Anyone who dares to be lazy will forget about getting the antidote next month." Shen Jinan swept over with a sharp gaze.
They immediately rushed forward, and very consciously each took a backpack and went to sort the things.
So obedient!
Shen Jinan smiled happily, took out a pen and ink, wrote down the detailed recipe for the preparation of the medicinal powder, and handed it to Liu Datou.
"Since you're their eldest brother, you'll be in charge of oversight." She pointed to the remaining baskets and said, "If you can't finish it, then you might as well skip your meal tomorrow. It would be a waste."
If it were before, Liu Datou would definitely say that she was dreaming.
Now they all believe it.
This female devil is capable of anything.
Today's incident was a big deal, and Sui Sui and Huan Huan were both a little scared.
Shen Jinan didn't continue to care about these people, and turned around to comfort the two children.
The child was frightened and spoke to her for a long time in panic.
It was not until the second half of the night that I was tired and fell asleep holding her tightly.
After carefully wiping away the tears from the corners of their eyes, Shen Jinan was finally able to fall asleep after a busy day.
The next day, the sun was shining brightly.
"Mom, get up!"
A sweet baby voice sounded in his ears, Shen Jinan slowly woke up, and saw Huanhuan's smiling face.
"Good morning, baby!" Shen Jinan kissed their two little faces and couldn't wait to wash up.
She was looking forward to seeing how they would complete the tasks she had assigned to them yesterday.
As soon as I walked out of the tent, I saw Liu Datou standing there holding a backpack.
There were dark circles under his eyes, and he yawned from time to time, but he didn't dare to go back.
"Female..." Liu Datou glanced at Shen Jinan and quickly changed the address, "Female, everything is ready, please take a look."
"It's quite efficient!" Shen Jinan was a little surprised. The backpack was full of medicine powder wrapped in paper.
She casually took out a few and opened them to look at them, then put them in front of her nose and sniffed them again, then nodded: "Well done, go send them to Commander Lin."
After the powder was distributed to each officer, there was still a lot left.
As Shen Jinan put the sachet of medicinal powder on Sui Sui Huan Huan, Commander Lin sent someone to urge them: "Doctor Shen, we have to continue on our journey."
Shen Jinan nodded, indicating that she understood, and soon caught up with the team. Liu Datou and others naturally followed them.
Different from their arrogance a few days ago, they were all very cautious, afraid of saying something wrong and making Shen Jinan unhappy.
After walking for a while, I found that the trees here were not so dense, but these trees were indeed quite old, and there was a light mist in the air.
"The road is getting harder and harder." Gu Yanqing looked at the road ahead, his brows full of worry.
Visibility in this forest is already low, and with the fog all around, it's hard to see the people around you, let alone any emergencies.
Shen Jinan also frowned. She had encountered this situation before in her previous life.
What worried her most were the hidden dangers in the forest.
