Chapter 51 There is also the risk of contracting disease
Su Nuan didn't plan to take the other two, as having one complete one was enough for her.
When it rains heavily and you have nothing to do, you can make the wild boar meat into delicious臊子 and eat it on the road.
After we had enough food, the heavy rain outside continued and lasted for nearly six days before it subsided.
During this period, Su Nuan once gave Cheng Feng some wild ginger and medicinal herbs. She felt that the rain was like a board hitting her body, causing her flesh to hurt.
In this situation, they definitely couldn't travel any further, so Su Nuan and the others just stayed in the cave to rest.
After the rain stopped, Su Nuan came out of the cave and was shocked to see that all the grass around him had disappeared, leaving only pitch-black soil.
"This is... eating all the grass?"
Xue also saw the surrounding scenery and said with disdain, "Serves them right. They were told not to store food. If they don't have food, won't they just eat grass?"
Su Nuan nodded and came into Cheng Feng's cave.
Cheng Feng's face was flushed as he was playing dice with his men.
When he saw Su Nuan, he immediately chased her away, "Go away, I don't want to play anymore, my sister is here."
Everyone left tactfully.
Because of the herbs given by Su Nuan, none of the soldiers got sick, so they were all very grateful to Su Nuan.
Cheng Feng laughed and said, "Sister, that wild boar has something to do with you, right?"
Su Nuan didn't deny it and said generously: "I learned wolf language before and asked the wolves around to help drive them away."
Cheng Feng frowned, "Then why didn't you use it last time when the wolf came?"
Su Nuan spread her hands and said, "I can only talk to normal wolves. Those wolves are driven by humans, and the animal drugs have made them crazy. Even if I turn into a wolf, I can't stop them."
Cheng Feng nodded, showing his understanding. "Girl, are you here to ask when we'll be leaving?"
Su Nuan smiled and said, "Brother, you've seen through me. When are we going to leave?"
Cheng Feng said, "Let's set off tomorrow. We'll reach the bridge at night. There are villages on both sides of the bridge. You can go to the villages and take a look around."
Su Nuan was startled for a moment, then shook her head. "Forget it. I have plenty of food and drink. If there's anything I need, ask Xiao Shitou to bring it to me. Don't break the rules."
Cheng Feng's eyes were stern, "I spoil my sister, who dares to say anything?"
However, it is difficult to manage so many prisoners, and if they make trouble together, it will be a big trouble.
Su Nuan smiled and said, "Goodbye. I don't ask for anything else, I just want to travel safely."
Cheng Feng knew that Su Nuan didn't want to cause trouble for him, so he sighed, "If only everyone was as sensible as you."
Su Nuan didn't say anything. There was no particular benefit in being sensible. Sometimes throwing a tantrum could solve the problem more quickly.
Cheng Feng asked again: "Do you have any meat left?"
Su Nuan nodded, "They're all made into sauerkraut, one by one. Just put a few handfuls in the soup."
Cheng Feng slapped his forehead and said, "Why didn't I think of this? I was afraid that the meat would go bad and let these brats finish it in one meal."
Su Nuan chuckled, "I'll get you fifty kilograms later, and some lard."
"Okay." Cheng Feng didn't refuse, not because he wanted to bully others, but because he felt that there was no need to be polite with Su Nuan. Being too polite would seem awkward.
Su Nuan also liked straightforward people, so she said, "How about this, let's have everyone come to check their pulse this afternoon. If there are no major problems, we can set off."
"Okay." Cheng Feng rubbed his hands. It was worth it to recognize this girl.
Su Nuan got up and went back to prepare the herbs. It was not because she was kind-hearted, but because she was worried about an epidemic during this period. If there was any disease, it would be better to seek treatment as soon as possible.
Before the afternoon, Su Nuan went to the cave to take a look. The robots had piled up the gems. She put away both the gems and the robots.
In the afternoon, Su Nuan started to see patients. Most of them were fine, but for the few who already had illnesses, there was no way to cure them with medicine. She could only tell them some precautions.
After a series of examinations, Su Nuan finally felt relieved. There was no epidemic disease, which was a blessing.
On the day of departure, Su Nuan noticed that Dong'er had lost weight. She asked in surprise, "Why have you lost weight? Did you not eat?"
Dong'er shook her head, "No, I feel sick from eating jerky every day."
Su Nuan chuckled, "Look at you, they're all chewing grass roots."
Dong'er smiled awkwardly, "Isn't this a disease of affluence? Don't worry, I'm not hungry. If I were really hungry, I'd even nibble on some hay, not to mention dried meat."
Seeing that Dong'er had just lost weight and was in good spirits, Su Nuan nodded in relief.
"Why didn't you leave? Didn't I tell you to go to the village ahead first?"
Dong'er shook her head. "I was going to leave, but I came back after I left. I don't know why, but I get so anxious when I'm away from you."
Su Nuan hugged her heartbrokenly, "Silly girl, I'm here, I will be fine."
Dong'er stuck out her tongue playfully, "Yeah, I'll be fine."
Ah Da sat on the shaft of the cart and said, "Girl, the team ahead is moving."
Su Nuan immediately got out of the carriage and said, "I'm going to the front, you guys just follow me slowly."
She led the carriage over. The old horse had been fed with cabbages that Su Nuan had smuggled out from the space, and had become fat and strong, not inferior to those young horses.
The carriage was covered with bear skin and then bedding, so Ling Cang felt more comfortable lying down.
The team moved forward again in a mighty manner. Fortunately, although the road was muddy, there was no problem as long as they were careful.
Occasionally, the carriage got stuck and the soldiers would ask people to help push it out, so the journey was smooth.
They finally arrived near the bridge before dark. Due to the rain, the river water was rushing and muddy, which looked scary.
After crossing the bridge, the team could see a large area of houses, not far from the river, but it would still take a quarter of an hour to walk there from the official road.
A soldier struck a gong and shouted, "Everyone, go to the threshing ground outside the village to rest. If you need anything, please give us money to buy it for you. Do not leave the team without permission, or you will be killed."
This warning of killing without mercy was so common that people had heard it so many times, but it was very effective. Most of the exiles obediently took out their money and asked the soldiers for help in buying food.
Li Shitou found Su Nuan and asked, "Sister Su, what do you want to bring? I can bring you a quilt or something. Is there anything special you need?"
Su Nuan thought for a long time but couldn't think of what she wanted, so she shook her head and said, "No, just buy a quilt if you have one."
She took out a silver note worth one hundred taels and stuffed it into Li Shitou's pocket.
Li Shitou immediately pushed it back and said, "The quilt is cheap, I don't need it."
Su Nuan shook her head. "Take it. I won't give it to you in the future. If I need anything, I'll tell you."
Li Shitou knew that Su Nuan would not feel at ease if he didn't take it, so he put the banknote away and planned to return it to his sister when he got there.
Someone called out, "Shitou, let's go. The young girls and wives in the village are waiting anxiously."
Li Shitou's expression changed and he cursed, "You pervert, I'm not going. You guys go."
Su Nuan was confused for a moment before she understood what they meant. They meant that there were people in the village who were involved in the sex trade, and all she had to do was pay them.
She pretended not to understand and said, "Go quickly. I want to go to the threshing floor to find a place to camp."
Li Shitou smiled and said, "Okay."
However, when Su Nuan arrived at the threshing ground, she found that it was impossible to sleep there, and there was a risk of contracting an illness.
