After everyone received the detoxification pills and animal repellent powder, Li Mengyue continued to lead people forward.
An hour and a half later, they arrived at a relatively open area. Li Mengyue looked at the sky and said, "Let's stop and rest here for a while. Have some water and something to eat."
After hearing what Li Mengyue said, the thirty or so people stopped moving forward, sat down in groups of three or four, took out the food they had prepared at home and started to eat.
Since we couldn't make a fire in the mountains, we could only drink the boiled water we brought with us. Everyone was very hungry, so we quickly ate two steamed buns and drank some water, and that was it.
What Li Mengyue ate was an egg pancake that Li had specially fried for her. The weather was not cold at the moment. After eating the egg pancake and drinking some spiritual spring water, all the fatigue in her body disappeared.
After resting for about a quarter of an hour, Li Mengyue stood up first and started on her way.
Based on the distance she had traveled on her last trip to the mysterious wonderland, she estimated that at her current speed, it would be difficult to reach her destination before dark. Therefore, if she was traveling this afternoon, she would have to speed up appropriately.
Since she decided to rest at the destination at night, Li Mengyue's pace was obviously much faster than before when she set off again.
Even though the road was covered with weeds, Li Mengyue walked as if it were flat ground. Even though she was pregnant, she could walk for half an hour without getting red in the face or out of breath, which was much better than many grown men.
Li Mengyue's tough attitude has changed everyone's perception of her.
You have to know that they are all children of farmers. As soon as they can walk, they help their families with work within their ability. When they grow up, they will become the strong labor force of the family.
Working in the fields every day, Li Mengyue has a strong body. She has lived in an official family since she was a child and has led a life of wealth and glory. Even though she has been back for more than three months, she does not look like a peasant girl at all. Instead, she has become more and more beautiful.
"Li Mengyue, you're really exhausted. You've been going on for so long, don't you feel tired at all?"
Hearing this, Li Mengyue looked at the speaker, who was Li Shan, who had argued with Li Erniu before, and said casually: "I'm not tired. What's the matter? It's just such a short distance, and you can't stand it!"
Li Shan was afraid of being looked down upon by Li Mengyue, so he straightened his bent back and said, "Who said I can't bear it? I'm not tired. I have plenty of strength. I can walk for another day and night without any problem."
Seeing that Li Shanqi was exhausted but unwilling to admit defeat and wanted to hold on, Li Mengyue understood that young people have pride in their hearts and don't want to be looked down upon.
However, she saw that not only Li Shan was too tired to move, but the others were in a similar state as well, and they were all exhausted and out of breath.
Since she didn't tell them to stop and rest, they were still struggling to hold on, even Li De and Li Zhuang, who often went up the mountain.
Li Mengyue understood clearly that while it was important to hurry, she also couldn't let herself get exhausted. So she said calmly, "Let's take a break for a cup of tea first."
As soon as she finished saying this, twenty or thirty people ignored their image and sat down on the ground, which made Li Mengyue further aware of the prestige of the village chief.
She knew in her heart that at least most of the people here were dissatisfied with her, or did not believe that she could lead them to find a water source.
However, before setting off, the village chief told everyone that no matter what happened, they had to obey her unconditionally. This was the reason why everyone was willing to follow her and persevere even though they were exhausted.
But no matter what, since they were willing to follow her, she didn't mind letting everyone pass a little within her ability.
"Uncle De, come here for a moment."
Li De was sitting on the ground to rest like everyone else. When he heard Li Mengyue calling him, he immediately responded, stood up and walked towards Li Mengyue.
"What's wrong, niece?"
"Uncle De, I made some potions to restore your strength. You can give them to everyone. But don't drink too much at once. Just one sip per person. You can drink it when you feel exhausted."
