"Everyone find a place to stay."

There are no caves nearby, so people have to spend the night outdoors.

People sat down on the ground, trapped in the mountains for several days, lacking clothes and food, and many people were dizzy and dizzy from hunger. They picked some wild grass along the way and stuffed it into their mouths. After half a day of digestion, people became even hungrier.

"Let's set up a tent, get some dry firewood, and cook some hot porridge."

Gu Yueyan picked herbs along the way and first found a large flat rock. She asked the Su family to hurry over.

The sun was out for half of the afternoon, and this place was sandy and rocky, so there was no water accumulation. It was just that the ground was very wet.

[I got two outdoor tents and set them up for everyone to sleep in.]

Sumibao couldn't wait to set up camp for everyone.

Su Zhenbei looked at Su Mibao in his mother's arms and shook his head.

Song Jinhe said seriously, "We have discussed it and decided that we will not use your things if we can handle our daily needs ourselves."

Madam Su also said, "This is what your mother, your eldest brother and I discussed. In this world, the most difficult thing to guard against is the human heart."

Su Mibao felt really aggrieved. She had so many good things but couldn't use them. In the original world, she could feed the whole family if she was full. If there was any problem, she would just beat him up. If it couldn't be solved, she would beat him up twice.

Gu Yueyan was the best at reading people's expressions. This afternoon, when she was picking herbs, she ran into those female prisoners. Seeing them dodging but with inquiring eyes, she couldn't help but become alert.

[We can’t have a mountain of gold and still be hungry! ]

This doesn't make any sense, Sumibao thought.

It seems that

She would have to be more thoughtful when she took out the next thing.

Sometimes you can't just take care of your own family and eat alone. If you do that for a long time, it will cause a big mess.

"Once these two big pots of wild vegetable soup are cooked, there will be no food tomorrow morning."

Huotou shook out the last black flour bag.

"You can't not eat it. Let's eat first and talk about it later."

Zhou Fuan was getting more and more upset. He had walked in the forest all afternoon today and had originally wanted to hunt some prey to eat together to last for a few days. But in the end, he didn't even catch a pheasant.

Obviously, due to the earth dragon turning over, many parts of this mountain forest collapsed, but the animals here migrated ahead of time. No wonder the old people said that in the face of natural disasters, animals have a stronger sense than humans. It seems that all the animals with legs escaped from here a few days ago.

"Zhou Fuan, walk two miles further into this open area and after passing the bushes, you will find a large rift valley."

Lu Zan and Ji Tai came over and sat down on the stone in front of Zhou Fuan.

"What?"

Zhou Fuan's expression suddenly changed.

"You said the road ahead is blocked?"

There were several hundred people in their group. They had been wandering in the mountains for so many days since they left Da Liuzhuang, but they found that there was a dead end in front of them.

“Is there any other way?”

When Zhou Fuan asked this question, he had a bad feeling in his heart.

"No, I have already sent people to explore. Apart from the road we came from, there is a river to the east, a rift valley to the north, and only mountains and forests to the west."

Zhou Fuan shouted at the top of his voice, "Zhao Xiaoqi, Liu Laoer."

Zhao Xiaoqi supported Liu Laoer and walked over. Liu Laoer's snake venom had been cleared, but he was still a little weak. Zhao Xiaoqi and he had been walking together for the past half day.

"Aren't you Lao Ma? Didn't you say that if you go up the mountain from Da Liuzhuang and keep walking north, you can turn to the Yangcheng official road after walking down the mountain for five or six days? Where did the rift valley come from? You——"

Zhou Fuan wanted to curse. None of the three old officers assigned to lead the team were useful. One ran away on the way, one was poisoned by a snake, and the other was a short bean sprout. It really made him angry.

"Rift Valley? There is no rift valley."

Zhao Xiaoqi and Liu Laoer felt that they were more wronged than Dou E. Especially Liu Laoer, who cursed Zhou Fuan and Ji Tai countless times behind their backs.

The prince's party was simply unlucky, and what were those more than a hundred prisoners? The three brothers had been on this road for so many years, and had never encountered so many problems like this time, and even lost Wang Lao Ba.

"There isn't any here in the first place. If you don't believe me, look at the map. On the map, there is only a large mountain range. At most, it is just a series of mountains."

After hearing what Zhao Xiaoqi said, Zhou Fuan quickly took out a map wrapped in oil paper from his arms and said, "Look, we have to follow the route on it."

Ji Tai pointed to a spot on the map and said, "Damn it, I sent someone to check it out. The rift is right here. What a rubbish map. There's no mark on such a huge rift."

"Commander Ji, is there any vegetation on that rift? Is it newly cracked or--"

"You must have been kicked in the head by a donkey. How can this valley have a new crack? What can cause a big crack all of a sudden? That--"

Ji Tai was silent. Several people looked at each other, and a chill came over their hearts.

A few days ago, the earthquake turned the entire Daliu Village into a swamp. All official roads were broken, and the mountains and forests collapsed everywhere. Unexpectedly, a large rift valley was created.

How many places in the whole Da Qi would be affected by such a huge earth dragon? As the epicenter of the earthquake, could anyone still survive? Everyone looked as pale as death.

If the capital city was destroyed by the earthquake, how far could these officers and soldiers go with more than 300 exiles and more than 100 prisoners without any supplies?

Soon, the three groups of officials including Ji Tai, Lu Zan and Zhou Fuan joined together.

Several leaders gathered in a tent that they had built together to discuss countermeasures.

None of the prisoners cared about what the officers were doing. After a short break, they all got busy.

They each looked for a place to build a shelter to spend the night.

I also searched the nearby woods to see if I could find something to eat.

The place chosen by the Su family to set up their tent was a flat sandy ground with three big trees next to it and a muddy river not far away.

Su Chengyi led a group of men to cut branches, preparing to build a shack like other prisoners.

Su Zhenbei sat on a big rock, looking at the river not far away. Gu Yueyan and a few women were washing wild vegetables by the river, and the children were picking up small fish and small stones by the river bank. Su Sinan was naughty and used a branch to pick up the broken things floating in the river.

The painted fan was picked up with a branch, and a piece of torn clothing floated over the river.

Su Zhenbei said to Old Madam Su, who was sitting next to him and holding Su Mibao,

"If you walk in this forest and encounter a wild animal, you can't do it without salt or strength."

Madam Su frowned, "We have salt to eat, but if we are the only ones eating it, we will be discovered soon. We can't take this risk. Let's just eat less salt and oil like everyone else."

"Little sister, take out some salt."

Su Zhenbei's eyes suddenly lit up, "I have a way to make sure everyone can eat salt."
