Plane Trading: A Peasant Girl Escapes from Famine and Becomes Rich Enough of a Nation

"Uncle, you are also a farmer and grew up in the mountains. How come you don't know the principle of living off the land?"

Su Qiuyi's words silenced the man whose anger was gradually rising.

Qin Kui was stunned for a moment, then turned around hesitantly and looked at his surroundings.

The people of Houshan Village were forced to run up the mountain by the bandits. Now they are on a flat ground halfway up the mountain, surrounded by trees and jungles.

However, during the past few days of hiding, few people left the team, for fear that the bandits would attack again.

People were so frightened that they lost their ability to think and completely ignored such a huge mountain.

After Su Qiuyi's reminder, everyone remembered that this place was far away from Xiangling County and had not been affected much by the drought, so there should be a lot of good things in the mountains.

"Yiyi is right. Let's go out and search together. We can set up camp in a place with water. With this mountain, we won't necessarily starve to death. As long as the higher-ups pay attention to the drought here and take disaster relief measures, we will be able to survive!"

Su Laosan said the second half of the sentence that his daughter didn't say.

Su Qiuyi looked at her father. At that moment, she felt that the father and daughter had an incredible understanding of each other.

Su Laosan had spoken, and those who felt dissatisfied did not dare to say anything. After all, they could only rely on Su Laosan for a chance of survival.

"Dad, let's organize some people to look for water! It's dangerous to stay here any longer!"

Su Qiuyi looked at the road leading to the foot of the mountain and saw the bloodstains from before. She knew that the bandits might come again at any time, so they had to take some precautions.

Su Laosan couldn't get up, so he could only sit there and make arrangements. He asked Yang Laosan to take five people to find a water source in one place, and asked the others to see who to form a team with and go to another direction to look for it.

There are only about twenty people with labor force now. It seems that there are only fifteen or sixteen households left in the whole village. According to the former village head, the rest have left.

The rest were seriously injured. Some of those who were not injured stayed because their family members were injured. Many families even left their injured family members behind, like the Yang family.

Su Qiu saw that the team of five or six people went in four directions. He couldn't sit still anymore and stood up, "Dad, I'll go take a look too."

"Yiyi, stay here and don't run around! It's dangerous!" Su Laosan didn't agree to let his daughter leave his sight.

Why is a girl running around?

Su Xiaofang also came over and held her back to stop her from doing anything wrong.

"Listen to auntie, the most important thing is that our family is together. Although your father is the head of the village now, he is only appointed in times of crisis. Whether he can bring these people back to the village safely depends on fate. Auntie just wants you all to be fine!"

Although Su Xiaofang said this, she also felt that she was very selfish. However, compared with the comfort of her family, she would rather be selfish.

Su Qiuyi knew that her aunt and father were people who truly cared about her, and they didn't allow her to go out because they were afraid that she might be in danger.

But she knew even more that she went out not only for the villagers, but also for her family. Now her cousin couldn't travel, so they had to stay here. If they stayed here, they had to try their best to eliminate danger and find a safe place.

But where is the water source so easy to find? She was afraid that if she couldn't find the water source, she wanted to sneak out to find a safer place and make an artificial water source.

"Auntie... don't worry about me, I'm fine. This place is not safe. Let's try to find a safe place as soon as possible, preferably a place that can be sheltered from the wind and rain and has water. So I want to go and look for it myself! Are you still worried about "me"? "

She pronounced my words very heavily, and Su Xiaofang immediately understood.

Looking at the place where her son was lying, she knew that this place was indeed not suitable. It might be the route that bandits must take, so they could not delay.

"I'll go with you!" She said without hesitation, then turned to look at Yang Dachun, "Dachun, take good care of the children! I'll go with Yiyi to find a place!"

Yang Dachun had just told his wife about his shock. When he learned about the magic of the medicine and that it was obtained by Su Qiuyi, he felt relieved, knowing that his son would be fine. The injury on his leg was also healing rapidly, so there was nothing to be afraid of now.

After nodding and promising that she could take good care of the children, Su Xiaofang followed Su Qiuyi and left.

At first, Su Qiuyi wanted to go up a little further and go deeper to take a look.

But he was stopped by his aunt, who was afraid that there might be wild beasts in the mountains, which would be even more dangerous.

They walked around the middle of the mountain. After walking for a long time, they didn't see any men from the village who came out to look for water. They were wondering when Su Qiuyi saw a cave deep in the bushes in front of them.

"Aunt, it's a cave!" She pointed at the bushes in surprise.

"Be careful, or you might run into any poisonous snakes!" Su Xiaofang pulled Su Qiuyi who was running forward.

Su Qiuyi also began to walk forward slowly and cautiously. The aunt and nephew cleared the bushes outside and found that the entrance to the cave was quite large. The ground at the entrance was made of stones, but it was pitch black inside.

Su Qiuyi took a fire starter and a torch from the space, lit the torch and moved inside step by step.

He first tried putting the torch into the cave. The fire did not go out, so Su Qiuyi felt relieved. There was oxygen in the cave, so it was suitable for human habitation. He just didn't know if there were any poisonous snakes or ferocious beasts in it.

Su Xiaofang was also afraid, but compared to her niece, she felt that as an adult, she should stand in front of her niece.

So she took the torch from her niece and entered the cave before her niece.

Under the illumination of the torches, the two men had a clear view of the entire cave.

The entrance to the cave is very small, only about 30 square meters, and there is only one entrance with no other exit. There are no snakes or insects in the cave. It is very cool. On this hot morning, the cave is as cool as if the air conditioner is on.

"Aunt... this place is perfect for us to live in..." Su Qiuyi was reluctant to leave once she came in. She touched the wall and the cool touch made her love it.

"Yes, if there was a water source here, we could hide here for a while..." Su Xiaofang also liked it.

As the two were talking, some noise was heard outside. They looked at each other and realized that it was a few men from the village who were looking for water.

"Let's go out and take a look! I wonder what they're arguing about!"

Having said that, he walked out.

Outside the cave entrance, Qin Kui was standing with five or six men. When the two men went out, they saw Qin Kui arguing with several men.

"There is no water here, but it is safe. I want this cave. I don't care what Su Lao San does. We have to rely on our own abilities!"

Some of the men who followed him disagreed. A thin man said, "Brother Kui, the head of the village said that we should find a water source!"

Qin Kui didn't take it seriously, and turned around and cursed, "Go find some water! He's a cripple and he wants to order me to work? Why? I won't serve you anymore! With this cave, I won't die even if bandits come again! If you don't want to follow me, get out of here! I'm not leaving!"
