The third man's wrist was being squeezed painfully, and he cried out, "Jingxiangpao, hey, let go of me! How can you, a woman, be so strong? Xiaoqi, are you stupid? You're just watching and not helping me at all."
Xiao Qi was called by Xiao San, and his stunned expression finally came to a response. He immediately went over and tried to pry Zheng Quchi's hands off.
But before she even met Zheng Quchi, she had already let go and released the mistress.
Xiao San and Xiao Qi are twins. Xiao San is clever and lively, while Xiao Qi is much dull and rigid, and basically only knows how to follow orders.
These twins are quite interesting.
Turning her head, Zheng Quchi saw another iron gourd. She put down the wooden tube, picked up the iron gourd, and shook it, finding water sloshing inside.
"What is this?"
"Oh, don't worry about that, you don't need to... Ah—what are you doing?!"
As the mistress screamed in surprise, Zheng Quchi had already pulled out the stopper of the iron gourd, and she smelled the kerosene inside.
"Don't shake it! Please don't shake it! Hold it steady and don't move your hands!" The mistress was so anxious that she kept stamping her feet.
Upon hearing this, Zheng Quchi followed his instructions and carefully held the gourd without shaking it. She examined the pulled-out stopper and, connecting the dots, immediately understood: "This is a flint that starts a fire by friction... The iron gourd contains kerosene. If you shake the iron gourd vigorously and then pull out the stopper, it will ignite and spray fire, right?"

"This is nothing."
Zheng Quchi wanted to continue, but before she could look again, she was pulled away by Xiao San and Xiao Qi together.
Stop looking, stop looking, get back to work!
If we let her keep watching, wouldn't she see through all their secrets?
They led her to a natural pit filled with the remains of many wooden implements, all damaged or crushed by gravity, some even completely pulverized.
Seeing this familiar scene, she inexplicably recalled some past events.
Back in the camp, Yuwen Sheng set up a trap to lure out the enemy's spies. She was naive at the time and, unaware of anything, stepped forward to piece together all the equipment parts on the ground.
Little did she know that Yuwen Sheng had already begun to suspect her identity and had even disguised himself as a drowning person to test her.
