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

After saying some curses, he turned around and saw the faces of Su Xiaofang and Su Qiuyi in front of him. Qin Kui was so scared that he staggered back a few steps.

"Xiao...Sister Xiaofang? Why are you here?"

The momentum that he had just displayed when he kept calling people "I" was completely suppressed.

He knew how powerful Su Xiaofang was since he was a child, and now he was caught in the act, how could he not be afraid?

The subconscious action also scared the people behind him. The thin man who had just reminded Qin Kui stepped forward immediately.

"Sister Xiaofang, I will definitely follow Third Brother's orders. I will go and look for water right now. Let's go now!"

After saying that, he turned around and ran, and two of the other four men who followed Qin Kui also ran.

The remaining two were Qin Kui's younger brothers. They looked around, not knowing what to do.

Su Xiaofang sneered, took two steps forward, clapped her hands, and pointed at the cave entrance. "Qin Kui, didn't you see that the cave entrance has been cleaned up? You are so shameless, you can occupy it if you want?"

Qin Kui was timid to begin with, and now he stepped back again, a little embarrassed, “Sister Xiaofang, so this cave was cleaned out by you? Well… well, well, I told you that this is the right place for our village to live, hehe… hehe… Qin Wei and Qin Hao, let’s look for other caves, let’s go!”

Before he could finish his words, he had already dragged his two younger brothers and ran westward. They were running so fast that it was hard to believe that they had not eaten for several days.

Su Xiaofang turned around and saw her niece looking thoughtful, so she asked what was wrong.

"Aunt, is it right for Dad to take over the position of village chief? Right now, it seems that Qin Kui is very dissatisfied!"

She was not afraid. No matter what, Qin Kui could not cause any big trouble. However, it was still inconvenient for them to bring so many people with them.

Su Xiaofang, however, saw through it all. "This is not our choice. We have to accept it. Now that we are back, we can no longer keep ourselves out of trouble. Moreover, we are related to each other for several generations. We have to lend a hand if we can! But Yiyi, it's best not to let anyone see any clues. We should rely on ourselves! Don't ask that person for help! I don't know how many chickens we owe!"

Su Qiuyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. At this time, her aunt was still worried about how many chickens she owed and was afraid that she could not pay it back.

It was also a bit funny, making her laugh and cry.

The two were just planning to go back and tell everyone else about what happened in the cave, but before they had taken two steps, Qin Kui and the other two came running back.

"Sister... Sister Fang, there are a few caves over there. They are... They are all quite big!"

Upon hearing this, the aunt and niece hurriedly followed Qin Kui and his two brothers to take a look. Sure enough, there were several caves of different sizes not far from the cave they found.

Naturally formed caves vary in size and shape, but the only thing they have in common is that they all have only one entrance and no other openings.

Su Xiaofang waved her hand and said, "No matter how far the water source is from here, let's stay here. Safety is guaranteed!"

If there are more bandits coming, they can just block the entrance of the cave and hide for a while.

These bushes blocked the entrance to the cave, and they had to dig through them before they found the entrance. If they weren't careful, they wouldn't be able to find it at all.

After listening to her aunt's words, Su Qiuyi had an idea in her mind. She saw her aunt asking Qin Kui and the other two to notify the villagers, and as soon as the three left, she took her aunt's hand.

"Aunt, let's go over there and see if there are other caves or water sources!"

The two walked to the east of the first cave they found and found two more caves on the east side, with the same entrance as the first cave they found.

Thinking that they had a lot of people, the two of them cleared the entrances to the two caves. Then, Su Qiuyi looked through the middle cave entrance. This cave was particularly long, and there was light at the innermost part of the dark entrance.

Her eyes lit up and she ran inside, but Su Xiaofang quickly caught her.

"Yiyi, be careful!" He said as he held the torch in front of him and walked in carefully.

When they approached the cave entrance, they found a different world inside. Su Qiuyi was so surprised that he jumped forward and ran forward.

"Aunt, there is a mountain spring here! Look, the water is so clear!"

The two came out of the cave. The sound of gurgling water attracted them. It was like dawn all of a sudden. The open air made them feel better.

After coming out of the cave, there is an open grassland, and then a pool of spring water. The spring is in the middle of the pool, and next to the pool there is a big tree that three people can hug.

The towering trees seem out of reach, lush and green, as if they have been standing here for who knows how many years.

It has long formed a natural beauty with the spring pool.

The big tree provides shade to the spring pool, and the spring pool nourishes the big tree.

Su Qiuyi couldn't help but walk forward, lying on the stone beside the spring pool, taking out a bowl from the space and scooping up a bowl of water to taste.

As soon as she drank the cool spring water, the coolness and refreshing feeling from the bottom of her heart made her close her eyes comfortably.

"Aunt, the spring water is so delicious, you should try it too!" She handed the bowl to Su Xiaofang who was standing beside her in a daze.

Su Xiaofang unconsciously picked up the bowl and drank all the water, then grabbed Su Qiuyi and pulled him out excitedly.

"Come on, Yiyi, let's go back and fetch your father and the others. We'll live in this cave! Since there's spring water, and we have food and pots and pans on the carriage, it won't be a problem for us to live here until next year!"

She not only bought steamed buns, but also a lot of rice and flour. So now that she has water, it will not be a problem for her to survive until the beginning of next spring.

"Aunt, after we live in this cave, it will be inconvenient for the villagers to come in and out to fetch water."

Su Qiuyi was dragged by her aunt and ran, but her mind was still clear.

The spring water is not the most important thing to her. She has no shortage of water. What is important is settling the villagers.

Su Xiaofang stopped immediately and felt that this was indeed the case.

"But we can't let anyone else live in this cave. Since the spring water belongs to everyone, let someone guard the cave. You can fetch water, but don't waste it!"

Su Qiuyi walked out while telling Su Xiaofang about his plan.

She was afraid that someone with bad intentions might live in the cave and cause trouble by not letting others fetch water.

"Yes! Let's go back quickly and pick up your father and the others. A carriage is faster than two legs. Let's go up and occupy the cave next to the spring first. Your father will be in charge of it then!"

The aunt and nephew ran to the middle of the mountain. Although this place was also halfway up the mountain, it was still some distance away from where they were now.

When the two ran back, Qin Kui and the other two had already arrived, and the villagers had almost finished packing their luggage.

Su Laosan, Yang Dachun and Su Mingyue had already loaded the luggage onto the carriage. When the aunt and nephew came back, the only thing left was to put Yang Ruchuan on the carriage.

Yang Dachun harnessed both horses, and when he saw the two men coming back, he hurriedly and carefully lifted Yang Ruchuan along with the quilt and put him on the carriage.

He couldn't sit on the chair in the carriage, so he could only let Su Laosan get in first and then put Yang Ruchuan and the quilt on the floor of the carriage.
