Crossing the famine, relying on a spiritual spring to support the entire village

"Sister An, try to avoid the people in the village. The plague is so contagious now, you must be careful."

"An'er, don't worry, we are here!"

"Sister An, Brother Ping An and the others will be safe and sound."

"..."

Everyone was talking in front of the wooden house, and Su Nian'an's eyesight was gradually blurred by tears.

"Yes, thank you everyone, you must also take good protection." Su Nian'an choked up, went back to the house and took out the bamboo tube filled with spiritual spring water at night: "This is the spring water from the mountain. Drinking it will be good for everyone. Everyone must drink it, and everyone must be safe. We still have so much treasure that we haven't spent, and we still have a long way to go!"

Everyone's eyes were filled with tears. Yes, they still had so many treasures, they must not die here!

Everyone is not staying for long. Now they are racing against time. There are only so many people, but the number of infected people is increasing. There are still many things waiting for them to do.

Su Nian'an calmed down and rushed to the herb garden with Dabao and Erbao.

Chu Ruohuai had been in a coma for a day and a night and still hadn't woken up. When Su Nian'an left, she asked Doctor Liu to take care of Chu Ruohuai. Now that Chu Zhiang was gone, she had no time to take care of him.

Soon they arrived at the herb garden. Most of the herbs had been harvested and taken away by Chu Zhiang. The soldiers had suffered heavy losses yesterday and had no spare energy to come to the herb garden, so all she saw was a mess.

Su Nian'an wanted to curse! Is this a human thing?

If it weren’t for the medicinal herbs in her space, their entire village would have been wiped out!

Dabao and Xiaobao want to cry even more

Dabao sobbed and said, "Sister An, the herbs are gone. Is my father hopeless? Aunt Wang and Brother Ping'an, and little niece Aunt Li are hopeless too."

When Xiaobao heard that his father was beyond saving, he burst into tears. His mother was gone, and now his father was going to leave him too?

Su Nian'an quickly comforted them, "Dabao, Erbao, don't be afraid. We still have herbs! Mom and the others will all be fine. Now take the remaining herbs back and plant new ones. New herbs will grow soon."

The two little ones stopped crying and put the herbs into the bamboo basket while sobbing.

Su Nian'an thought about it and filled half of the basket with herbal seeds in the space. Plant them today and irrigate them with more spiritual springs. It should be able to shorten the growth cycle.

The three of them worked together, and except for eating and drinking, they did not stop for a moment, and finally planted all the herb seeds before the sun went down.

Su Nian'an simply let the two babies sleep in the wooden house, which is more convenient and safer.

Chu Ruohuai woke up in the afternoon and realized that Chu Zhiang had left and most likely went to Beilin City. He also knew about the sudden surge in the number of infections in the village.

Knowing that Chu Ruohuai had woken up, Su Nian'an poured a bowl of spiritual spring water and brought it to him.

When she came, Chu Ruohuai was leaning against the bed in a daze. He coughed lightly before coming back to his senses.

"Chu Ruohuai, are you feeling better? Come, have a drink of water." Su Nian'an put the bowl in front of him

Chu Ruohuai raised his hand and tremblingly took the bowl, looking at Su Nian'an

Su Nian'an looked at his pitiful eyes, and it seemed that his injured limbs were inconvenient. She felt sorry for him and said, "Let me feed you."

Chu Ruohuai nodded with satisfaction, a smile on his face.

Su Nian'an had never fed anyone before, so she held the bowl with both hands and stuffed it into his mouth, but ended up pouring water all over him.

"Hiss" Chu Ruohuai grimaced in pain, and the water just happened to flow onto the wound on his chest.

Su Nian'an hurriedly wiped his mouth with his sleeve and said, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"

The person on the bed endured the pain, tried to regain his composure and said, "It's okay."

But soon, Chu Ruohuai felt that the wound was no longer burning and painful, and there seemed to be a hint of coolness, as if a plaster had been applied.

Could it be that the herbs used in the compress were moisturized by the water and thus had the best therapeutic effect? ​​This was the only explanation he could think of.

Chu Ruohuai looked at Su Nian'an's anxious expression and felt warm in his heart. It might be good to have someone thinking about him.

Chu Ruohuai quietly looked at Su Nian'an who was standing in front of the bed. The latter felt embarrassed when he was looked at. He quickly interrupted the ambiguous atmosphere and asked, "Why did the people from the county government come to encircle and suppress Axe Mountain?"

Chu Ruohuai adjusted his expression upon hearing this and said, "On the surface, it's directed at me, but the actual reason is still unknown."

"Chu Ruohuai, do you think the recurrence of the plague is strange?" Su Nian'an asked, blinking his black and white eyes.

It was indeed very strange. We agreed to solve this small plague within a month, but just when it was almost cured, they came back again. At the same time, the number of plague patients in the village increased several times.

"Did you find anything?" Chu Ruohuai looked into her bright eyes and said

"This... is still uncertain." Su Nian'an was a little confused, but now the entire village could only discuss it with Chu Ruohuai.

It looks like a small plague, but in fact, I don’t know what kind of conspiracy is hidden

"Do you also suspect that someone deliberately brought the plague into the village?" Chu Ruohuai looked at the woman in front of the bed in surprise.

When did this woman become so knowledgeable?

"You doubt it too?" Su Nian'an seemed to have found a resonance and became excited. He trusted her.

"It's almost certain. Moreover, they have their backers inside the village." Chu Ruohuai said softly after making sure there were no suspicious people around.

"There's a traitor in the mountain village?" Su Nian'an couldn't believe it. How could the people in the mountain village be related to the county government?

Chu Ruohuai nodded. Everything was so coincidental. They came once when the plague was first discovered. After he drove them away, half a month later, the plague broke out again. They came again as if they had predicted it in advance. Knowing that he was here, they directly accused him of treason.

"Who is it?" Su Nian'an asked hurriedly

Chu Ruohuai shook his head. He was not sure if it was that person.

"Is it the missing Fourth Master?" Su Nian'an felt that he was the most suspicious. He was obviously unhappy with her, but he kept silent about it. He must be keeping a low profile for a bigger conspiracy.

"Why do you think so?" Chu Ruohuai said with a smile. It's impossible to suspect someone just because one person disappeared. "Why don't you suspect the other three bosses?"

Su Nian'an scratched his head and said, "It's unlikely that Chen Youqian would do that. He has been helping me since I first came to the village. He doesn't seem like the kind of person who seeks personal gain. He is a person who truly wants the best for the village. Chen Dali, on the other hand, has a simple mind and is not that cunning. Only Chen Shitou is extremely cunning and his thoughts are hard to guess. He also has evil intentions and is the most suspicious."

Chu Ruohuai pondered for a moment and said, "Your suspicion is not entirely unreasonable, but these three people disappeared at the same time, and they are all suspicious candidates. Axe Village may have other accomplices. Now you should not alert the snake, let's lure it out of its hole."
