puff--

Su Chengyi spat out a burst of black blood mist, and his entire face turned blue, black, and then bloody red.

Su Chengyi was made into a puppet and lost consciousness. Su Mibao could not hear his thoughts, and naturally could not communicate with him through his thoughts.

His brief recovery of consciousness was entirely due to the stimulation of the mother-son affection between him and Old Madam Su.

Therefore, he could only use his broken consciousness to try to catch his mother's voice and respond instinctively.

"Yier, Yier——"

Mrs. Su almost fainted when she saw her son's miserable appearance. She tried hard to control her trembling.

"Yier, where is the Lingcao Cave? Where are the four of them? Are they still alive? Are they also puppets?"

"This is the Lingcao Cave. There are three caves. They—"

Su Chengyi was speechless, his eyes were as red as gemstones, and almost burst out of his sockets. His whole face was shaking and twisting, and the blood vessels under his skin were bulging, as if something was wriggling in his blood vessels.

[Seventh Aunt, quickly make Eighth Uncle faint. ]

Su Mibao called out to Ye Ranqing. All the men in the Su family had been taken away, and among the remaining women and children, only Eighth Aunt Ye Ranqing knew Kung Fu.

"Mom, get up."

Ye Ranqing had been having a stomachache. She covered her stomach with one hand and quickly pressed several major acupoints on Su Chengyi's body with the other hand.

Su Chengyi fell limply to the ground, his whole body convulsing.

"Son, son——"

Old Madam Su sat on the ground, hugging Su Chengyi, tears streaming down her face, but she dared not make a sound and could only cry silently.

The Su family had never seen Old Madam Su lose her composure like this. Even when she heard that Yancheng was defeated and almost all of the nine generals of the Su family died on the battlefield, Old Madam Su had never lost her composure like this.

Su Mibao: Grandma loves Uncle Eight the most, that’s proven.

Um--

The acupuncture just now had affected the remaining internal strength of Ye Ranqing. Ye Ranqing groaned and sat on the ground, holding his stomach.

Hua Shan, who was sharp-eyed and careful, noticed the bloodstains on Ye Ranqing's skirt.

"Young Madam, look."

Hua Shan pulled Gu Yueyan's sleeve, motioning her to look at Ye Ranqing.

Ye Ranqing's stomach hurt from time to time these two days, and there were signs of premature birth. As the only female doctor in the family, Gu Yueyan has been taking good care of her.

When he saw the blood on Ye Yanqing's skirt, his heart tightened and he immediately reached out to feel her pulse.

"I'm fine, but I have weak qi and blood."

Du Liniang stepped forward and lifted up Ye Ranqing's skirt. After taking a look, she said solemnly, "It's already two fingers dilated. There's not much oxygen and water left. If you don't give birth now, you won't be able to keep the baby."

Su Ma and Song Jinhe were both experienced people. When they saw Ye Ranqing's condition, they knew that she might not be able to hold on. Fortunately, there was a Du Liniang among them who could deliver babies. Otherwise, in Ye Ranqing's condition, it was likely that she would die in a difficult labor.

"I'm about to give birth, but here——"

Song Jinhe frowned.

This cave looks very strange. This is in Mujiabao. There are dangers everywhere and poisons at every step. Can you give birth here? Also, these people were taken away by Lao Ba. When Mu Xiang comes back and finds that they are missing, he will definitely think that they have escaped. He will send people to search.

Can they hide in this cave?

[Mother, Aunt Seven is about to give birth. It's premature and she may have a difficult birth. She can't move anymore. And Uncle Eight, I don't know when he will wake up. Even if he wakes up, I don't know if he will be conscious or crazy.]

Su Mibao looked at the group of people. There were more than a dozen women and children. It would be difficult for her to escape, and she couldn't take her Seventh Aunt and Eighth Uncle with her. Besides, the two of them couldn't move now.

"Rabbit, use your spiritual power to look ahead. I see there is a fork in the road ahead. Go and take a look to see if there is a place that is more hidden. What is in the depths of this cave? Is there any poison?"

Sumibao summons the rabbit.

"There is a fork in the road about ten meters ahead. To the left is a small cave. It's not big. There is a pool of water inside. There are some supplies piled up next to it. Oh, and there are two skeletons. The right side is deeper. It's dark ahead. After walking about five or six hundred meters, it suddenly becomes larger. There is water, light, people, and grass inside."

"Someone? Who? Dead? Alive?"

Su Mibao was surprised.

Didn’t Uncle Ba just say that this is the Spiritual Herb Cave, which is only guarded by two people, and someone will come to deliver a batch of fertilizer or collect spiritual herbs every three days?

Why is there someone else inside?

"Alive, but dying."

Su Mibao breathed a sigh of relief. He was dying, which meant he was not from Mujiabao. He must have been captured, otherwise he would not be left in this cave to die. Could he be a prisoner in this cave?

"Dying? Can you see if there is any danger? How many people are there?"

"They have no attack power. How many people are there? A lot, too many to count at once, probably around 200 to 300."

Two or three hundred people? Are they all going to die? Su Mibao frowned. It seemed that Uncle Ba had taken them to the wrong cave. This was not a spiritual grass cave. This should be the cave where Mujiabao used to detain prisoners.

[Mother, hold me and let everyone follow me.]

Song Jinhe believed Su Mibao's words without a doubt and immediately said to everyone,

"Mibaobao asked everyone to follow and move forward."

"I'll carry Master Ba."

Although Nanny Su is nearly sixty years old, she is of strong build. When she was young, she worked in the fields all year round and is stronger than the average woman.

She squatted down and carried Su Chengyi on her back, with Old Madam Su supporting her.

Huashan and Gu Yueyan supported Ye Ranqing, Du Liniang led the children, and everyone followed Song Jinhe.

[Third brother, take this and stay with mother to light up.]

Sumibao took out a flashlight from the space.

The teacher taught Su Sinan to turn on the switch. The flashlight's light was snow-white, illuminating the road ahead. The uneasiness in everyone's hearts was alleviated a lot because of the light.

The cave is a little narrow when it turns left, and only two people can pass through side by side. The road is still very flat, but a little wet.

After walking a dozen meters forward and turning a corner, I suddenly saw a small cave about 50 to 60 meters in length. On one side was a small pool of water, about the size of a large bed, not big, but deep, with water coming out of it and emitting white smoke.

"dead!"

The few pounds of fat that Su Sinan had left were trembling. He pointed to the other side of the cave, where there were several sacks of supplies and two skeletons lying next to them.

"The dead are safer than the living, so why be afraid of them?"

Little Wang Su Ruoyuan laughed at Su Sinan for being too timid.

Having seen so many things along the way, none of the women in the Su family showed any fear towards the two skeletons. They were more interested in the pool of water.

"The water is hot. It's hot spring water."

Gu Yueyan stepped forward and checked it out. "The water is not poisonous. It is real hot spring water."

After hearing what Gu Yueyan said, they were thirsty all the way. The men in the tea stall drank the water, but the women and children didn't get any.

Although they had Sumibao to replenish water along the way, the Su family was not as short of water as everyone else. But after all, they were together with everyone else, and no one had water to drink. If only the Su family had rosy lips, it would be a disaster if others noticed it.

Therefore, the Su family couldn't drink too much water along the way.

Now, when they heard that the water was not poisonous, several children immediately ran over and wanted to squat down and drink the water with their hands.

[Don't move, let me test if there is anything else in the water. ]
