Chapter 62: Difficult Conditions
The path Shen Qingqian and the others are taking now has deviated from the direction Jiang Goudan knows, but not by much, so the general direction can still be determined.
Therefore, after confirming that they needed to set up camp, Jiang Goudan led everyone to turn in a diagonal direction.
"That place is a valley. My father and I went there once. Strangely enough, there were no flowers, plants or trees growing there. The ground was covered with black stones," said Jiang Goudan as he cleared the way with a hatchet.
Black stone coal?
It is indeed possible that coal mines may appear in such deep mountains and forests.
However, before seeing the thing, Shen Qingqian could only temporarily suppress the excitement in her heart.
A group of people were walking in the mountains and forests. Because the place was rarely visited before, someone had to lead the way with tools so that they could walk smoothly.
Fortunately, Jiang Goudan and his group were not afraid of hardship or fatigue, and they were fleeing from the disaster, bringing their family's farm tools with them. They led the way, and were more adept at it than Shen Qingqian and his group.
At this moment, Li Laosan was extremely grateful that he did not abandon Jiang Goudan and others. Good kindness really pays off.
"Sister Qian, I can't walk anymore." Liang slipped and fell to the ground, causing Shen Zhe to fall as well, but Shen Zhe fell on her.
Shen Qingqian was holding things in both hands and was unable to grab her immediately, and Wu, who was walking in front, had already turned back.
"Third sister-in-law, you are not feeling well," Mrs. Wu pulled her up and asked nervously.
At this time, Liang's face was pale and her lips were bloodless, but when she heard Wu's question, a hint of unnaturalness flashed across her face. She glanced at the people around her and whispered something in Wu's ear.
Mrs. Wu felt relieved and patted her on the back, saying, "Don't worry. I'll have a few maids look around to see if they can find some herbs that can help relieve the pain."
"Thank you, sister-in-law. It's all my fault that I'm not in good health and have caused you trouble." Liang hung her head in annoyance.
Mrs. Wu waved her hand, "We're one family, so don't talk nonsense."
After she finished speaking, she was about to take the things from Shen Qingqian's hand, "Sister Qian, we can't stop now. Just look after your mother and follow the team slowly."
Shen Qingqian had just vaguely heard Liang say the word "menstruation" and understood her situation. She said, "Aunt, I know herbs. Among the herbs I collected earlier, there are also motherwort and other herbs. However, I am still short of two herbs. You take my mother away first. I will look for them nearby so that I won't fall behind."
Liang had suffered from dysmenorrhea before. The conditions during the exile were harsh and the women's menstruation was irregular. Wu and the others hadn't had their periods, but Liang was in so much pain that she couldn't walk.
There are so many women in the family. Now that she has met him, Shen Qingqian must prepare some medicine to relieve dysmenorrhea.
The Shen family had fallen behind the team at this moment. Sheng Ze and Ling Yun were responsible for holding the line. Although he didn't know what happened to the Liang family, he immediately spoke up when he heard that Shen Qingqian was going to find medicine.
"Auntie Wu, you guys go ahead and I'll keep an eye on the Sixth Miss."
When Wu and others heard his words, they were relieved. After thanking him, Lin took Shen Zhe's hand, Wu supported Liang, and Shen Qingxiao and her sisters divided the things in Shen Qingqian's hands, and the family continued on their journey.
Shen Qingqian fell behind, looked around, and walked towards the bushes to the east.
Sheng Ze paused and said directly to Ling Yun, "I'll go clear the way for the Sixth Miss, you protect these people."
"But..." Ling Yun opened his mouth to say something, but Sheng Ze glanced at him and immediately shut up, "I know."
