When everyone looked forward, they saw that a large number of people in the group in front of them had fallen down.
The heat is unbearable now, and we have been walking in the scorching sun for more than an hour.
The water bags in the exile team were almost empty, and many people had dry lips and dizziness, relying on their willpower to move forward. More and more people fainted from heat stroke.
The Su family members were also in low spirits.
Su Bingsheng was whipped ten times before he left, and Su Chengzhi had eaten a drugged tiger whip this morning. Both of them were already very weak, and after suffering such torture, they fainted directly.
Aunt Shen shook her for a long time but failed to wake her up, so she quickly asked the nearby officials to come and check.
At the Xiao family's side, everyone drank the spiritual spring water given by Su Qingning, and their physical strength improved a lot.
Su Qingning even secretly activated her special powers to keep everyone surrounded by a cool breeze, and now they didn't feel tired at all.
Zhang Qinxue saw the miserable state of the Su family and finally couldn't bear it, so she whispered:
"Ningning, I still have some water here. Why don't you give it to your father and his family?"
After all, filial piety is greater than heaven in ancient times. Zhang Qinxue was actually considering Su Qingning.
If she did not help the Su family, she would be criticized.
Su Qingning is too lazy to pretend.
What does it matter if she is criticized? She likes to see those who can't stand her but can't kill her.
Straight to the point:
"Mother, a loving father makes a filial son. Su Bingsheng has been wishing I would die sooner since I was born. I don't have such a father."
Fourth brother Xiao Huaijin had long been fed up with the black-hearted people in the Su family, and said in a cold voice:
"Mom, please don't be so mean. We are relatives to Su Bingsheng after all. From this morning till now, have you seen him ask you a question?"
"Who knows, maybe your family really dislikes you! How could they possibly drink the water you drank?!"
Zhang Qinxue looked around and saw that the Xiao family members all had disapproving expressions on their faces.
I realized instantly that the evil roots of the Su family are not worthy of our kindness!
He quickly put the water bag back into his arms, and walked past the howling Su family with his head held high.
Seeing the miserable state of the Su family, Su Qingning was so happy that she accidentally turned up the wind speed.
Xiao Qingya, who was walking behind her, couldn't help but sneeze a few times.
"Achoo--Achoo--"
Everyone around them, who were so hot that they wanted to bang their heads against the trees, looked towards the Xiao family in surprise.
Zhang Qinxue hurriedly took out her handkerchief and took the opportunity to cover Xiao Qingya's mouth.
"Ouch - Ya'er caught a cold last night when she went into the water. How come she hasn't recovered yet?!"
Su Qingning turned around and met Xiao Huaishuo's inquiring gaze. He quickly turned his head away and secretly lowered the wind speed.
The Xiao family members also keenly felt the sudden decrease in the wind. They all looked at each other and continued walking forward in silence.
At the Su family's side, Su Chengzhi was lying on the ground with his body flushed red, like a plate of almost cooked roasted pig.
Aunt Shen knelt by the side with tears streaming down her face. When she saw the captain Zhao Jinhai coming over, she hurriedly stuffed a silver coin into her hand.
"Sir... Sir... Can you please let us rest for a while? My son has fainted."
Zhao Jinhai couldn't help but frown.
I wanted to take a rest, but there was neither water nor shade here, and staying here would only lead to more heat stroke.
The only thing to do now is to hurry up and have a good rest at the next resting place.
Then he swung a whip in the air and ordered:
"Wake these guys up and keep going! If you keep howling, be careful or my whip won't work!"
Several officers behind them walked up and pinched a few people on the ground skillfully. Soon Su Chengzhi and Su Bingsheng woke up and were forced to continue on their way.
However, it was almost noon, and the clouds in the sky were becoming more and more poisonous.
People walking on the road felt more and more uncomfortable, and some fainted and woke up again and continued to walk. There were even two people who were born weak and died and were thrown to the side of the road.
Su Qingning looked at this tragic scene without being moved.
It was enough for her to protect the Xiao family and ensure their safe arrival in Lingnan. How could she possibly expose her own cards for something irrelevant?
She is not the Holy Mother or a living Bodhisattva!
Su Bingsheng and Su Chengzhi fainted several times along the way, and their old wounds had not healed yet but they had more than a dozen new ones.
Aunt Shen, Su Qingyin and Su Jiaqi were also covered with wounds and cried as they walked.
Not far behind him was an official holding a whip. If he was a step slower, he would be whipped.
The exile team passed by several dry streams and still couldn't find a suitable resting place. Even Xiao Jiaji, who had been drinking spiritual spring water, was a little tired.
Grandmother Liu Qing began to breathe heavily due to overwork, and most of her body unconsciously rested on Zhang Qinxue who was supporting her.
Zhang Qinxue asked worriedly:
"Mother...are you feeling unwell?"
Liu Qing's brows were furrowed and his hands were covering his chest, as if he was enduring extremely intense pain.
"I...I'm fine. Let's keep going."
Su Qingning frowned. She had checked her grandmother's pulse before and knew that she had heart disease.
It is now clear that excessive exercise leads to myocardial ischemia, which in turn causes angina.
He immediately helped Liu Qing up, laid her on the ground, and instructed Xiao Jiaxiao beside him:
"Grandma has a heart attack and must receive treatment immediately. She can't go any further."
"Ningning, do you know medical skills?"
Zhang Qinxue was shocked. How come her daughter-in-law could do everything? She was just like the fairy in the book!
"Yes, I learned it from my mother when I was a child."
Su Qingning made up an excuse and quickly took out a heart and put it into Liu Qing's mouth.
He took out a silver needle and inserted it into several acupuncture points on Liu Qing's body with skillful technique.
Heart disease cannot be cured by medicine, so it seems that I will have to find a way to have surgery for my grandmother.
The Xiao family members around her saw her palms flying, and dozens of silver needles flew out and pierced into the grandmother's acupuncture points accurately. Her technique was so agile and beautiful that it looked like she was performing magic.
Without a doubt, they rushed over and protected Su Qingning and Liu Qing in the middle.
Zhang Da, a nearby official, saw that the Xiao family members suddenly stopped and immediately swung a whip in their direction.
"What are you doing there? Do you want me to whip you?!"
There was a wicked smile in his eyes and he deliberately increased the strength in his hands.
I have long disliked the Xiao family.
The road to exile should be extremely difficult, but these people act like they are on a picnic. They look more relaxed than the official. How can I not be angry?!
