Chapter 107 The Sixth Girl is a Lucky Star
Jiang Goudan’s words left everyone silent.
In fact, they didn't like this group of refugees at the beginning, but later this group of people taught them many survival skills and accompanied them all the way here. Even the most heartless people would have some feelings for them.
When Jiang Goudan said goodbye, many people felt reluctant to let him go.
"Okay, then, Goudan, you two should go to the nearest Lanjiang County and ask how to get settled there. I have an acquaintance named Shu Yi at the Lanjiang County government office. Tell him my name, and maybe he can help you out."
Li Laosan patted Jiang Goudan on the shoulder and gave him some detailed instructions. Finally, he asked Jin Daya to give them a month's rations.
"Let's not say anything extra, just know it in our hearts. Also, after you settle down, see if you can send a letter to Linshuigou in Ebei City." Li Laosan said finally.
Linshuigou was where the imperial court housed exiles, fifty miles away from the city of Hubei.
Jiang Goudan's eyes were red, and he knelt down to Li Laosan, "Thank you, Third Master, thank you all."
When they escaped, they didn't bring any food with them. If they hadn't followed Li Laosan and the others along the way, they would have starved to death long ago.
Unexpectedly, before leaving, Li Laosan actually gave them a month's worth of food.
For a moment, many people's eyes were wet.
Shen Qingqian's eyes became sore as she watched this scene.
Jiang Goudan and his people were the most ordinary people of this era. They worked from sunrise to sunset every day and should have lived a peaceful life, but the rebellion of the vassal kings directly broke this peace.
Coupled with natural disasters, people's lives became even more difficult.
I just hope they can settle down quickly and survive until next spring.
Taking advantage of the break, Shen Qingqian found an opportunity to release the sacred spring water, disguised himself, and then asked everyone to fill it with water.
"We are really lucky. We can still find water even though the road is so dry."
"If you ask me, it's not just our good luck, it's clearly Miss Shen Liu's blessing."
"Yes, the team led by Miss Six also found the most things on the mountain before."
More and more people began to say that Shen Qingqian was blessed, and they would come to thank her after filling the water bottle, which made Shen Qingqian very uncomfortable.
Fortunately, no one suspected that she had any problems, otherwise she would not dare to seek benefits for them in the future.
Sheng Ze looked at Shen Qingqian meaningfully, then went to fill his water bag. After taking a sip, he raised his eyebrows slightly. The taste was a little different from the previous water.
Could it be that she discovered it by accident this time?
What he didn't know was that the sacred spring water would only have the desired effect if it came from Shen Qingqian's hands or was taken directly from the sacred spring. Once poured on the ground, it would turn into ordinary water and would no longer have any special effect.
Of course, Shen Qingqian herself didn't know about this. She could only say that her previous act of letting the people in the team off was an accident, because all the water went directly into the pot from her hands.
When they set off again, the exile team and Jiang Goudan and others parted ways. Li Laosan sighed and quickened his pace.
The further north they went, the colder Shen Qingqian and the others felt.
The scorching sun overhead showed no sign of weakening, there were almost no pedestrians on the road, the ground began to crack, the few water sources passed by had all dried up, and the water bags of most people in the team were beginning to run out.
Adults can still endure thirst, but children cannot. Three-year-old Shen Jin’s mouth is dry and cracked.
Xiao Lin gave her own water to Shen Jin, but did not allow her to drink more.
Shen Xiao couldn't bear to see his wife suffer from thirst, so he forcefully stuffed his water bag into her, "I can hold on, you can't fall down."
Xiao Lin didn't insist any longer. After taking a small sip, she closed the lid and said with a wry smile, "Sixth Sister used to help fill the water, but now it's like this, I'm afraid she won't be able to keep this job."
Shen Qingqian and Shen Zhe were walking behind her. After hearing this, they said, "Sister-in-law, I don't agree with what you said. Everyone says I'm a lucky star. I'll go look for it when we stop at night. Maybe I can find some water again."
