"Sister-in-law, Uncle Xu and the others are being followed. The cave..."
A rare trace of panic appeared on Lu Changji's feminine face at this moment.
Su Sijin raised her hand and comforted him, "Don't worry, let's go down the mountain quickly. As long as our people are one step faster, there shouldn't be any problems."
Lu Changji looked at the two corpses that died with their eyes open. "They need to be dealt with, which will waste time. So, sister-in-law, go back and report the news first, and I will stay and deal with it."
"Third brother, wait a minute."
Su Sijin stopped Lu Changji's hand, took out a porcelain bottle under the cover of her wide sleeves, and dripped a few drops of medicine on the corpse.
“Sizzle…sizzle…”
With a sizzling sound, white smoke first came out of the corpse, and in an instant, the corpse turned into a pool of gray-brown corpse water.
In a moment, the corpse water was evaporated by the scorching sun at a speed visible to the naked eye.
She got this powerful corpse-dissolving water from the Imperial Hospital. She thought she would never use it in her lifetime, but unexpectedly it came in handy.
Lu Changji looked at the ground in shock. Who would have thought that there was a person lying here before.
"Why don't you just go away? What are you doing?"
Su Sijin walked a little distance away and found that Lu Changji had not caught up with her, so she turned back to urge him.
They returned to the camp a quarter of an hour later. Lu Changji went back to tell Zheng Jie to pack her bags, while Su Sijin went to find Tang Peng.
Suddenly a figure jumped out and Su Sijin almost bumped into him. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and dodged to the side, causing the other person to fall flat on his face.
Qin Qing, who was lying on the ground, raised her head and cursed angrily, "Ouch! Who is blind..."
Qin Qing was originally cursing, but when she saw Su Sijin, she immediately shut her mouth, lowered her head in fear, and lay on the ground pretending to be dead.
Ever since she was almost strangled to death by Su Sijin last time, she no longer dared to jump in front of her, nor did she dare to cause trouble in front of Zheng Jie just to get away with it.
Qin Qing knew that if it happened again, Su Sijin would definitely kill her.
Su Sijin looked at her coldly, then looked at the place where she appeared.
Isn't this the direction she left with the strange woman before?
However, at that time she was holding a little girl's hand, her daughter, Lu Qiuju, but this time she was the only one who returned.
Along the way, Lu Qiuju, who was only ten years old, took on all the work of the third room. Not only did she have to take care of Lu Changbao, but she also had to find food and water, and did things for Qin Qing that she should have done.
Qin Qing herself acted like a young lady, going from house to house and stirring up trouble.
Lu Qiuju's efforts were not appreciated by Qin Qing, who always scolded her for being a money-loser. Not only did she not give her anything to eat, she was also often beaten and scolded.
She has a small body and has to carry a fat boy who is heavier than her. If Lu Changbao gets bumped or hurt, Lu Qiuju will definitely be beaten.
Zheng Jie couldn't bear it, and secretly gave her some dried meat several times, but Qin Qing snatched it away and it ended up in Lu Changbao's mouth.
From then on, Zheng Jie learned her lesson and took her to a deserted place, watched her finish eating, and then let her go.
But this can only save the child temporarily. However, as Zheng Jie said, if you see what the child has done wrong, you should help if you can.
It is said that when she was in the palace, Lu Qiuju always secretly looked for Xiao Qiuling to play, and when she saw Zheng Jie, she always sweetly called her aunt.
But now only Qin Qing came back, and Su Sijin guessed that Lu Qiuju might have been sold out by Qin Qing.
Thinking of this, Su Sijin snorted coldly. A person who can even sell his own flesh and blood is worse than a beast.
Su Sijin's cold snort scared Qin Qing, who was still lying on the ground, so much that she trembled.
It was not until Su Sijin left that he got up cautiously and ran back to the camp as if escaping.
"Are you serious?" Tang Peng's excitement made his dark, rough face turn dark red.
Su Sijin nodded in agreement hurriedly.
"Of course it's true. Uncle Xu and Young Master Jiang were guarding there. However, when we were going down the mountain, we found some suspicious traces at the entrance of the cave.
"We might be being followed, so we need to get some water as soon as possible. Which cave is as cool as autumn? I suggest you move there to rest before heading south."
The confidence in Su Sijin's eyes made Tang Peng's fiery heart boil again. You know, water at this time is life. Only with water can they survive this extremely hot natural disaster.
There was nothing to hesitate about. Tang Peng loudly ordered everyone to move to the mountains.
Although the sudden order caught everyone off guard, everyone quickly formed a team and followed the team to move up the mountain.
In today's chaotic world, being alone is equivalent to death.
When everyone arrived at the cave, Tang Peng ordered everyone to wait outside the cave, and he went into the cave first.
Under the guidance of Xu Yongsi, we saw a clear spring.
He drank excitedly and then filled up several water bags around his waist.
Su Sijin suggested to Tang Peng that one person from each household should line up to enter the cave to fill it with water. "If everyone rushes in, there might be a stampede, and it's even more likely that the water will be ruined."
Jiang Hong nodded. "That's right, Miss Su is right. Filling water in an orderly manner can ensure that everyone can get enough water."
Tang Peng acted decisively and decided to start collecting water with the liberated people first, and then the older people in seniority, going into the mountains to collect water in an orderly manner from oldest to youngest.
After helping people fill their water bottles, they would maintain order. If anyone caused trouble, they would be whipped.
There was actually someone causing trouble in the queue, inciting everyone. After he was whipped, no one dared to cause trouble anymore. Even though they were worried that there would be no water when it was their turn, they could only wait obediently.
In the end, all the water bags were full, but there was still plenty of water in the cave, so Tang Peng ordered everyone to go into the cave and rest for a night.
Everyone cheered. After nearly two months of unbearable heat, this cool cave was like a fairyland, so comfortable that it gave people the illusion of being in Beijing.
