She felt that since Chu San and the group of blacksmiths were able to create space, it would not be a big deal for them to forge guns, except that it would be more manpower-intensive.
After a while, the sky became darker and the rain became heavier. A curtain of water instantly formed at the entrance of the cave, rushing down. Coupled with thunder and lightning, it was very scary.
A puddle soon formed at the entrance of the cave. Chu's mother and sister-in-law Chu hurried over and led the frightened horse further inside.
"No, the wind is too strong, the rain is blowing in. The cave is not big enough, we have to pull up the oil paper cloth at the entrance of the cave." Father Chu and Mother Chu felt the raindrops as they walked to the entrance of the cave.
The two men retreated repeatedly. Fortunately, they were wearing straw sandals. If they were cotton shoes, they would have been soaked.
Upon hearing this, Guard Li waved his hand and said, "You guys, go over and help seal the entrance to the cave, leaving two openings in the middle and on the sides."
The opening is left for observing the outside world to avoid being blocked in the cave.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Jiaojiao waved towards Chu San and said, "Husband, go set up some traps around here. It's raining so hard, if someone really comes over, we won't hear any sound. We have to warn them."
"Okay." Chu San nodded and immediately took his things to leave. Zhou Jiaojiao thought of something and reached out to hold him back. "But don't stay under a tree when it's thundering. You're more likely to be struck by lightning. Wear a raincoat before going out."
Chu San is very obedient and does whatever Zhou Jiaojiao says.
Zhou Jiaojiao also released a thunderbolt in his space.
When Chu San came back after setting the trap, it was already dark. The prince saw Chu San's actions clearly and admired him very much. No wonder he was so confident, because Chu San was so cautious and was a talented person.
Chu San didn't know what the prince was thinking.
After he came back, Chu's mother pulled him to sit down and drink some ginger soup and the medicine made from the cold prevention medicine bag Zhou Jiaojiao made.
Everyone else in the team drank it and felt warm, no longer feeling cold all over. At night, everyone snuggled up in their quilts to sleep. It was only early spring and the weather hadn't warmed up yet, but it started raining and the temperature dropped, so everyone wrapped themselves in quilts.
Zhou Jiaojiao and Chu San hugged Baoer and wrapped him in the quilt.
The next morning, after a night had passed, the rain had not stopped at all, but was getting heavier.
Zhou Jiaojiao couldn't remember the specific disaster dates mentioned in the book, and most things were changing drastically these days. However, looking at the rain's trend, she had no doubts and said, "There should be a flood next."
At this moment, the system suddenly appeared.
"Congratulations to the host for saving tens of thousands of people in Yuzhou and gaining 300 points of merit."
As soon as she saw the points, Zhou Jiaojiao knew that a lot of people were rescued this time, otherwise there wouldn't be hundreds. Before, after she emptied the food from Wuzhou and sent it to the county town under Yuzhou, she arranged for the county magistrate there to distribute the food to the victims in Wuzhou. The merit points she received were only dozens.
Zhou Jiaojiao looked around, at the people and various objects in the cave.
It actually showed the check-in point.
The carriage showed the check-in point, and even several guards had check-in points. Next to it, there was a haystack at the innermost part of the cave where the soldiers were leaning against, which also showed the check-in point.
Seeing this, Zhou Jiaojiao wanted to verify something, so she walked over and signed in at every check-in point, especially the check-in point next to the haystack, which required five check-in points.
She had never seen five check-in points.
"Congratulations to the host for using two sign-in points to sign in the sick horse. You will be rewarded with ten horses and a book on horse treatment."
"Congratulations to the host for using three sign-in points to sign in as the Third Prince's spy and receive a copy of the Basic Spy Training Methodology."
"Congratulations to the host for using three sign-in points to sign in as the Sixth Prince's spy and receive a copy of the Basic Spy Cultivation Methodology."
"Congratulations to the host for using four sign-in points to sign in as the old emperor's spy and receive a copy of the Intermediate Spy Training Methodology."
When Zhou Jiaojiao heard that it was related to the old emperor, she narrowed her eyes. It seemed that the old emperor still had the energy to look for the space artifact, which showed that he really wanted to live forever. However, she would definitely not let him get his wish.
"Congratulations to the host for using five sign-in points to sign in to the resting place of an unknown cultivator and obtaining a copy of the elementary mental method, 'The Secret of Immortality'."
When Zhou Jiaojiao saw the word "cultivator", her pupils shrank. She had never thought that there were cultivators in this world. Even if there was space, according to the system, there were only two of them.
but.
This was also her habitual way of thinking. She thought that since the book did not mention cultivating immortals, this world would be a purely ancient world. But the fact is, since it appeared, it existed.
Zhou Jiaojiao immediately prepared to learn. Her fighting power was too low. In this chaotic world, it was difficult to survive even with the space in hand. If she was asked to give the space away in vain, she would not be willing to do that.
That's why she helps the prince and wants to hold on to his thigh. Since the other party has space in his hands, he will not be greedy for hers. As long as she can show her value, she can gain a foothold.
She didn't expect the system to give her such a big surprise.
You have to practice, you must practice, at least you have something to save your life.
Zhou Jiaojiao was not in a hurry to enter the system space.
She walked back, waved to Chu San, and whispered, "Husband, I made a pill. After people take it, they can identify who is the spy in the crowd."
Chu San's eyes widened in disbelief.
Zhou Jiaojiao smiled faintly and said, "Don't you think it's impossible?"
"What's the principle?" Chu San had been with Zhou Jiaojiao for a long time and was used to thinking about problems. Especially since Zhou Jiaojiao could always explain it clearly, he really admired her.
Zhou Jiaojiao smiled slyly, "Because this medicine actually works based on a person's emotions. To put it simply, if you're nervous, it will speed up your blood flow, which will trigger the medicinal properties and can be used to trick people. My husband, you should know more about how to determine if someone is lying or just nervous for some other reason, right?"
Chu San's eyes lit up and he immediately took the medicine and said, "Madam, I'll go now."
"Go ahead." Zhou Jiaojiao smiled. As soon as Chu San left, she felt like taking a nap. She closed her eyes and pretended to take a nap to see what the "Secret of Immortality" in the space was.
Chu San quickly walked over to the prince and Guard Li.
Since they were both together, he didn't have to make two trips. Chu San walked over, sat down, and said, "Mr. Zhou, Guard Li, I suspect there are spies in the team."
"Um?"
Guard Li looked up at him and said, "Brother Chu, you didn't bring this up for no reason, did you?"
"It's certainly not without reason. I set a trap in the deep forest before dark yesterday. I went out this morning and found that some of it had been tampered with. So, there must be people lying in ambush around, but their number is not large. You know, we changed our minds at the last minute and went up the mountain. No one knew at the time, and the heavy rain had almost destroyed all traces of our carriage..." Chu San was actually talking to the prince. "In short, they were able to catch up with us, which only means that someone in our team was sending a message to the other side."
