Song He snorted and said in disgust, "Look at what you're saying. How do those people in the countryside live? And the village we went to before was full of elderly people. They could survive with just one elderly person, so why can't you?"

Song He continued bluntly, "Even if my sister gave you money, you would definitely use it to buy food. If you spend all day buying food, this and that, even if I gave you a mountain of gold, it wouldn't be enough for you to spend."

Song He is a person who speaks bluntly, so she often offends many people. So after hearing what she said, everyone felt a little embarrassed.

But because she was Song Yao's sister, he didn't dare to say anything.

E Yu said, "A Yao will definitely give you some silver for self-defense, but this silver is not enough for you to survive completely, because the outside world is too chaotic now, with plague refugees everywhere. If I give you silver, what if it is stolen? Then you will have to rely on yourselves, right? If you don't know how to do anything, digging wild vegetables and gnawing on tree roots like Song Jiaqi and the others, then you won't know what kind of wild vegetables and tree roots are edible. So survival is the biggest problem now. This problem doesn't lie with A Yao, but with you."

Su Zhen said, "If we really get separated, no one knows how long it will take for us to meet again. So, giving you money is just to help you cope with the emergency. The most important thing is to know how to survive."

After hearing what E Yu and Su Zhen said, they finally understood Song Yao's good intentions.

That’s right, those who opposed Song Yao in their hearts now felt a little guilty.

Zhou Yunrong asked: "Then what should we do now?"

Su Zhen said, "Ask the maids, they will definitely know."

If they really got separated, Su Zhen felt that the maids would be able to survive because they were all children from poor families and knew how to survive.

E Yu said, "Start with the first step. Help clean up the leftovers, wash the dishes, and tidy up the tables and chairs. Then, tomorrow when Chef Zhao cooks, you all can follow and learn. When you've learned enough, A Yao will take you to identify the wild vegetables in the mountains."

Feng Yingying said, "If you guys learn how to cook, even if you cook wild vegetables, it will definitely taste better than what Song Jiaqi and the others do."

Chen He said, "I see that Song Jiaqi and the others have lost a lot of weight. They must have not been eating or sleeping well during this period. So if you don't want to become like them, listen to Song Yao in the future. She won't harm you."

Song Chuxue nodded, "I understand, I will do my best."

Then everyone started to help clean up the dishes.

When the maids came to clean up, Song Chuxue and Song Fangyi told them not to move and let them do it themselves.

To be honest, this made the maids a little flattered. After all, this was the work they had always done, and now that their master had to do it, it was really a bit too much for them to bear.

After everyone finished their work and cleaned up the camp, they felt a little tired and went back to their tents.

By the bonfire, the only ones left who were keeping watch were Song Zizhou, Song Qing, Song Mingxuan, Song Yao and E Yu.

Thinking of what happened before, Song Mingxuan looked at Song Yao and said, "Ayao, aren't you being too harsh on them by doing that?"

"Harsh?" Song Yao glanced at Song Mingxuan, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, "If I'm not harsh now, one day they will cry their hearts out. I'm doing this for their own good. Anyway, no matter what, in this situation, they still have to learn to survive first. Only by learning to survive will they not be afraid of all the harsh environments."

When Song Yao and her colleagues went to the mountains for an investigation, they encountered a heavy rainstorm. The rain was so heavy that it was really difficult to move, and they were in the mountains, so everyone got separated.

After the rain stopped, Song Yao realized that she was lost and there was no one around her. At that time, she only had a knife and a flint in her hand. She didn't have any other survival tools.

She relied on these two things to survive in the primeval forest for three days, and finally, she was able to find her lost companions.

Originally, Song Yao didn't want to treat them like this, but things are unpredictable, and she didn't want to see these companions who had been with her day and night meet with such a day, so she prepared for it in advance and taught them some knowledge first, so that even if they got separated, they would not have to worry about starving to death outside.

Song Qing said, "Ayao, how do you know all this? I mean, you used to be the daughter of the Song family, and you couldn't even carry a basin of water. How do you know all this now?"

Song Yao looked at Song Qing beside her and smiled faintly, "When people are forced into desperate situations, they will know everything, but not everyone can do it, so they need to be taught."

After saying that, Song Yao yawned and stood up. "You guys continue chatting. I'll go back and rest first."

Now that she is in her advanced stages of pregnancy, Song Yao feels particularly tired not only during the day but even when she is resting at night.

Especially after sitting in the carriage for a whole day, my stomach was very bloated, but fortunately there was nothing abnormal.

She is now eight months pregnant. In two months, the baby will be born. As long as the baby is born, Song Yao will not be afraid of anything.

However, just as Song Yao returned to the tent and had not had time to go to sleep, Song Qing hurried to her tent. Seeing his panic-stricken look, she knew that something must have happened.

"What happened?" Song Yao asked.

Song Qing said: "There is movement in the woods, I wonder what it is!"

Song Yao was slightly surprised. "Could it be that Ah He's words have come true? Don't panic, and don't wake everyone up. Just do as usual and light a pile of firewood around the camp."

"Row!"

Song Qing hurriedly left the tent and immediately went to make arrangements.

Jiang Yunxi put on his coat again, took a bow and arrow from the tent, and went out.

Song Zizhou and the others were no longer staying by the campfire. They had come and stood beside one of the carriages. Opposite the carriage was a forest.

Song Yao walked to Song Zizhou and the others, and when she looked into the woods, it was pitch black and she could not see anything.

However, Song Yao heard a low roar coming from the woods, and the sound of trees breaking in half.

Song Yao frowned and looked at Song Zizhou, "Brother, this should be a bear. I wonder if it is the one that got away last time."

They all showed surprised expressions and then looked at Song Yao.

Song Mingxuan was a little bit incredulous. "Impossible? We have been walking for so long. No matter how powerful it is, it can't catch up with us."

E Yu said, "It must be another bear, not the one from before."
