"Hua Shan just said that she was worried and went to meet the young lady. How come you didn't see the two of them?"

Butler Su felt something was wrong.

It wasn't a long way, and Hua Shan and Young Madam were two living people. It was impossible that Su San didn't meet either of them.

"Did someone stop him on the way to see a doctor?"

Song Jinhe glanced at Su Chengyi in a reproachful manner.

"Look, it's all your fault. It's raining so hard, many officials and prisoners got sick. Yan'er treated the officials. The prisoners saw it. Now everyone knows that Yan'er knows medical skills. Yan'er will be busy in the future."

Madam Su said in a deep voice,

"I can't be a good person. If the officials come to summon me, I have to go. But I can't let Yan Er see everyone."

Ye Ranqing snorted coldly, "Between life and death, face and morality are of no use. From now on, Yan'er won't let anyone look at him. Even the officials can't look at him casually."

Su Sinan chuckled, "My sister-in-law is really good at treating illnesses. If someone comes to see her, can we charge her for it? If not money, we can give her food."

Su Zhenbei glanced at him coldly, and Su Sinan immediately became timid.

"I was wrong. I said nothing."

"Su San, you said Yan'er came back earlier than you? Didn't you meet either her or Hua Shan?"

Song Jinhe was worried. The big cave where the official lived was not far from the small cave where they lived. Su San was walking behind the two of them, so it was reasonable that they should not have bumped into each other.

"Su San!"

Su Zhenbei didn't say anything else, but that look made Su San feel a chill on her back.

"Young Master, you asked me to follow the Young Madam. I followed all the way to the big cave. The Young Madam treated the officials. Some of them had a fever, some had fallen and were injured. One of them had a broken rib and was bleeding profusely.

To treat the officer who was bleeding heavily, the young lady said she was still short of a herb. On the way here, she found it under the big poplar tree with a bird's nest in the forest ahead. Captain Zhou asked me to take an officer with me to collect it. "

"Why did you go?"

Su Zhenbei's voice was cold, and his face was expressionless, but from that look, Su San, who had followed his master for so many years, naturally knew that this was a sign of his master's anger.

"Because the young lady mentioned that place several times, none of the officials remembered the big poplar tree with the bird's nest. Because the young lady walked with us, and the route she took was a little different from the officials'. The officials couldn't find the big poplar tree that the young lady mentioned. Only I could find it. Also, the young lady described the appearance of the herb several times, but the officials couldn't tell it apart. I happened to recognize it, so I--"

Steward Su looked at Su San with a serious expression.

"You didn't use your brain again and blurted out what you know. That's why Captain Zhou asked you to go, and you couldn't refuse. You knew that the mission assigned to you by the master was to protect the young lady, so how could you leave and leave the young lady there alone?"

Butler Su was really disappointed. He didn't understand how Su San had become the young master's top secret guard for so many years. Such a brainless guy.

"At that time, the young lady was treating the official with broken ribs. I thought that so many officials and hundreds of exiled prisoners were in the cave. With so many people, no one would do anything to the young lady. So I--"

Su San scratched his head. "When I came back, I saw that the young lady was not there. When I asked, Captain Zhou said that Mrs. Ji needed to make a lot of antidote pills, and he was too busy to handle it alone, so he asked an official to send the young lady to Mrs. Ji."

“Su San, you said Yan’er went to Ji Tai’s cave?”

Song Jinhe was a little anxious at this moment.

But the cave where Ji Tai and Lu Zan lived was some distance away from here.

"I listened to Captain Zhou's words and hurried to the cave where the imperial guards lived. When I got there, Bai Suzi said that Madam had helped him do some of the work, and there wasn't much left. He could finish it by himself, so he asked Madam to go back first."

Su San looked at Butler Su anxiously, "You said Hua Shan also went to see the young lady?"

He had a bad feeling in his heart.

He had never heard of Hua Shan being at Zhou Fuan's or Ji Tai's place.

"Su San, Steward Su, the three of us will search separately."

Su Zhenbei glanced at his family and said, "All of you stay here and don't go anywhere."

They were exiling prisoners and could not leave too far from here at will. At the same time, Su Zhenbei had a doubt in his mind. Logically, the officials should have arranged people to guard nearby. Yan'er and Huashan should not be in trouble.

But what if...

actually,

Half an hour ago,

In Zhou Fuan's cave, Su Chengliang walked over and smiled ingratiatingly, "Sir, my stomach hurts. I have diarrhea. I need to go out to relieve myself."

"Lazy people poop a lot. They get jealous when they see others pooping. Go away from the cave, and don't be upwind. It stinks."

Zhou Fuan was so worried. Bai Suzi and Gu Yueyan worked for more than half an hour, and the officer's injury was treated. However, the most troublesome thing next was that he had to take the exiled prisoners out of the forest and get to Yangcheng as soon as possible. If there was not enough food, it was easy to make do. At worst, he could hunt some prey in the mountains and let the exiled prisoners pick some wild vegetables and fruits, which could help them survive for a few more days.

But without salt, people would lose their strength after a few days. If the prisoners lost their strength, they would be less likely to escape. But if more than 30 officials lost their strength, how could they manage these more than 300 exiled prisoners?

Where did the people from Da Liuzhuang go? They didn't see them along the way. It would be good if they could find the people from Da Liuzhuang, because they should have brought salt with them.

Zhou Fuan was thinking about whether to send an official to look for the people of Da Liuzhuang to see if they had gone into the forest like them. After all, the official roads were cut off, and they had nowhere to go.

Just as he was thinking about it, Su Chengliang came running over and said he wanted to go out to poop, which made Zhou Fuan even more annoyed. Seeing Su Chengliang turning around and walking out of the cave, he raised his leg and kicked him in the butt, "Go quickly and come back soon."

Ouch, I was so angry that I accidentally sprained my foot, which made Zhou Fuan grimace in pain. He angrily said to the prisoners, "Go to sleep quickly. If anyone needs to poop or pee again, we will do it every half an hour, three people at a time."

It's so annoying. Since entering this cave, prisoners have been going out to poop and pee. Just now, a woman holding a child went out to poop, and Su Chengliang followed her to poop. It's so annoying.

"Mom, someone is following us."

Su Zihuai's face turned pale with nervousness.

Fang Juexia carried Su Zihuai out of the cave. Su Zihuai had diarrhea. He had a bowel movement not far from the cave right after he came out. Fang Juexia also felt uncomfortable in her stomach. She knew it was because of the rain. Both mother and daughter had diarrhea. As a woman, she naturally had to find a more secluded place.

So she held Su Zihuai and walked towards the deep bushes in the distance. As she was holding him, Su Zihuai whispered to her that someone was coming.

Fang Juexia couldn't get up for a while.

"Don't make any noise. Take a look secretly to see who it is."
