Chapter 70 Those who slack off will be expelled



Once a plague breaks out, covering their mouths and noses and wearing epidemic prevention bags are far from enough. Starting today, the water they drink will mainly be pure spiritual spring water.

To be on the safe side, you should still be prepared.

Su Sijin's eyes kept moving around, hoping to find some herbs that would still retain their medicinal properties even if they were withered.

Finally, she saw a large patch of withered mugwort in a sunken place.

She was overwhelmed with surprise. Gong Changgong, who was standing beside her, looked at her lovingly like a child and asked, "Madam, what did you find that makes you so happy?"

Su Sijin picked up the fallen grass and said excitedly, "This is mugwort. Fumigating clothes with mugwort can prevent epidemic diseases."

Su Sijin met the puzzled looks of Lu Changji and Lu Changming, and without bothering to explain, she loudly ordered: "Everyone, why are you still standing there? Cut all the mugwort back, even if the roots can be pulled out."

What could the Lu family do? Naturally, they just bent down and started working.

Even Xiao Qiuling was not idle and started working seriously.

The noisy sounds here alarmed Tang Peng, Xu Yongsi, Jiang Hong and others.

Hearing that fumigating clothes with mugwort can prevent diseases, Tang Peng immediately asked everyone to cut mugwort.

In an instant, the valley was densely packed with people, and everyone was working hard to cut and pull out the weeds.

Of course, there were exceptions. At Old Lady Lu's side, except for Lu Mao who was cutting mugwort, everyone else was lying in the shade of the trees to avoid the sun.

"These idiots, can weeds prevent diseases? Besides, where are the diseases? They would rather listen to a village girl's nonsense." Chen Chunhua said disdainfully.

Everyone in the Lu family echoed their agreement. Su Sijin had no way of knowing their ignorance. Even if she knew, would she be so kind?

Everyone must be responsible for their own words and actions.

All the mugwort was harvested cleanly, and Su Sijin even cleaned up the broken mugwort on the ground.

They built a small fire, threw in mugwort, and fumigated all the clothes, especially the ones they were wearing today. The mugwort fumigation took the longest time because they passed the corpse area.

Germs are invisible and intangible, but even a tiny bit of contamination could be a deadly virus. Therefore, Su Sijin repeatedly instructed that the fumigation must be done for a sufficient amount of time.

"I tell you, if you don't go find mugwort, old lady, don't blame me for kicking you out of the team."

Tang Peng waved his whip and threatened Madam Lu and the others.

The old lady was horrified. She pointed to a bundle of mugwort on the ground and argued cunningly: "My second son cut it. He cut it. You can't drive us away."

Ever since she severed her relationship with Lu Changgong, the old lady referred to her children as the eldest, the second and the third, with Lu Zhe being the eldest.

Tang Peng sneered, "That's all? There are dozens of people in your family, is this enough?"

"If you keep quibbling, leave now. Natural disasters and man-made disasters along the way are common, so crew reductions are common."

After Tang Peng gave the warning, he didn't waste any more time and words. After all, he had already told them the bottom line and deadline.

If because of their laziness, he would get sick, or the fugitives he was escorting might be wiped out.

He had no choice but to sacrifice the rook to save the king and expel Madam Lu and others.

The old lady was so frightened that she dared not say anything. Lu Mao had just sat down when she drove him to find mugwort.

There was definitely no mugwort nearby, so Lu Mao had to go to a farther place to look for it.

Su Sijin listened to the farce here. As long as they didn't cause trouble for her, she would not add insult to injury.

It would be best if we could coexist peacefully.

Su Sijin and Lu Changgong searched nearby for something potentially useful.

The sun was too scorching, and in just half an hour, all the water in her body seemed to have disappeared. Su Sijin hid in the shadow of a big rock, unscrewed the water bag and drank from it in big gulps.

As soon as she drank the spiritual spring water, the feeling of heat disappeared without a trace, and she no longer felt weak and exhausted. She immediately felt refreshed.

It is no exaggeration to praise Lingquan Water as divine water.

Su Sijin was about to unscrew the bottle cap, but when she saw Lu Changgong's chapped lips, his Adam's apple sliding up and down, and his empty waist, she understood.

Su Sijin handed over the water bag and said, "You must carry the water bag with you. If you lose it, you will die without water."

He looks like a smart person, but he even forgot about the water bag?

Lu Changgong stared blankly at the water bag in front of him, followed the direction of the hand, and looked at the puzzled eyes of the owner who took it, "Don't worry, drink it, there is more."

Su Sijin stuffed it into his hand, and Lu Changgong slowly brought it to his mouth.

But he was obviously stunned for a moment, and under Su Sijin's close gaze, he gritted his teeth and drank a few sips.

Seeing him drink, Su Sijin turned her eyes away with satisfaction, but if she had looked more carefully, she would have noticed that the tips of Lu Changgong's ears were as red as blood drops.

"Lu Changgong, come quickly, I found something good."

Su Sijin's surprised voice interrupted Lu Changgong's wandering thoughts, and he jumped lightly to her.

Looking at the endless expanse of thorny green and red plants in front of him, he was very confused. "This is the Ox Tongue King Tree."

"The King Tree?" Su Sijin was also stunned. It turned out that the cactus was called the King Tree in Daiyue.

"My lady, what's the use of the Tyrannosaurus Rex tree having so many thorns?"

If it can’t be eaten, can it be used as medicine?

If it didn't work, Su Sijin wouldn't jump up for joy without caring about her image. She would only forget herself when she was extremely happy.

Su Sijin complained casually, "Didn't I tell you that outsiders can call me wife, but when we are alone, just call me by my name."

Lu Changgong pursed his lips and did not intend to correct it. "My wife, you haven't told me what the Overlord Tree is used for."

Speaking of the fruitful Bawang tree, Su Sijin became interested. "You see the red fruits above! They are ripe fruits of the Bawang tree, which can..."

Su Sijin was interrupted before she could finish her words by Lu Mao who suddenly appeared.

Lu Mao's face turned pale, his pupils shrank, and his lips trembled as he whispered:

"Sijin, Sijin, hurry up, hurry up, it's very dangerous here, there's... If you don't leave now, it will be too late, too late."

After Lu Mao finished speaking, he was about to go over and pull Su Sijin.

Lu Changgong was quick to protect her behind him.

Lu Mao was so anxious that he raised his voice unconsciously, "What are you doing? It's really dangerous here, get out of here quickly."

Lu Mao's incoherent words left Su Sijin confused. He only said there was danger but didn't say what the danger was.

Su Sijin came out from beside Lu Changgong and said, "Second Uncle Lu, thank you for your kindness. Where is the danger? Can you take me to see it?"

Lu Mao pointed in that direction in horror, as if he remembered something, turned around and ran away with a purple face.

Su Sijin and Lu Changgong looked at each other, and they tacitly went in the direction Lu Mao pointed.

The mountains were very quiet. If you listened carefully, you could hear the sound of swallowing, mixed with a faint sound.

Lu Changgong protected Su Sijin behind him, and he pushed aside the dense grass with a cold expression.

All I saw was a ragged 'man', his back arched up and down, and a dirty little foot was exposed from under him.

Su Sijin was shocked, and the sound of her footsteps startled the "monster" in front.
