Jiayi: "Miss, I originally thought he was a little paranoid, but after learning that he was Chen Gang... I think he was not aimless! We should still make preparations early."

Su Chengnan nodded: "That's right, we should hide our identities and pretend to be refugees. We should follow the official roads along the way, but try to avoid people."

"Yes, I'll go discuss it with Village Chief Yu."

"It's just that considering everyone needs to eat, taking the small path, we can pick some wild vegetables and fruits while walking, which can save some time."

"Okay, but what about the injured?" Jia Yi hesitated to speak.

Su Chengnan glared at him and said sternly, "Although they may have some verbal disputes from time to time, they are a collective, just like you marching. Not abandoning or giving up is the basic principle."

“Never abandon…never give up.”

Jia Yi repeated it in a low voice, and suddenly his old face flushed, "Yes! I know I was wrong!"

He felt like he'd been stung by something, and couldn't calm down for a long time. "The lady is right! Treating your comrades means never abandoning them, never giving up!" He now admired Su Chengnan even more.

"It's okay, go help Mi Feng, I'll go over there and take a look."

"Okay, miss, don't go too far."

"Oh, I see."

It's past noon now.

Su Chengnan took into consideration that everyone had suffered severe physical and mental damage yesterday and had just eaten and drunk enough, so he was afraid that they would need a good rest today.

This location is not very good. It is freezing cold at night, so we need to move to a place that can shelter from the wind and rain.

"It's raining?"

“It’s really raining!”

Su Chengnan was stunned for a moment. How come the rain started falling just when she was thinking about finding a place to shelter from the wind and rain?

"Mr. Sun is really a genius! You said it would rain today and it really rained." Village Chief Yu said happily.

"The rain was late for half a day, but it finally came."

"Yeah, I hope it lasts longer so that the fire can be put out."

Hearing this, Su Chengnan remembered Sun Liangyuan's previous judgment. At that time, he said that the rain would last for several days and the rain would not be light.

Now that there's a wildfire, rain is certainly a good thing. But we still don't have a place to stay, so we can't stay here any longer. We need to leave quickly.

"Village Chief, sir."

"Let's not be so happy anymore, let's go! Before the rain gets any heavier, let's find a cave or something to take shelter. We might not be able to leave for two or three days."

"Yeah! That's right." Village Chief Yu patted his thigh, stood up, and immediately started to make arrangements with the help of his crutches.

"Come on, third brother! Divide these fish among you. Each of you should take two. The rest of you should put out the fires in front of you. Then help each other and walk."

"Okay, let's go."

The people of Tieniu Village have been living together for decades and know each other's personalities very well. The fish are big and small, and everyone doesn't wait for Liu Laosan to divide them, but takes them directly.

Liu Laosan stamped his feet and said, "What are you doing? The village chief told me to divide it."

"Why are you dividing things? You're the most cunning person in the village. You have bad relationships with this person and that person, so why don't you take the opportunity to mess around?"

"Am I that kind of person?! And don't you see what time it is now? How could I do such a thing?"

"Alright, Third Brother! We don't know you well enough, so stop talking and just go."

Liu Laosan was so angry that his face turned green. He picked up the twisted straw rope at his feet, passed it through the fish's gills, and walked forward with the fish in his hand. He would not go with these tactless people.

"Liuzi! Wait for me, I'll go with you."

"Okay, Third Brother."

The five brothers, Liuzi and his companions, each held a wooden stick and carried a large package on their backs. No one knew what was inside.

Liu Laosan: "Is it heavy? Do you want me to help you?"

Liuzi laughed and said, "These are all things that we carpenters do. They are very heavy. I won't bother you, Third Brother."

Liu Laosan sighed: "You guys are really good. You remembered to bring tools when you were escaping. It's true that youth means quick reactions."

Liuzi sighed, "My leg wasn't good to begin with. Well, I was a little slow in packing up, and it got burned. I don't know when it will heal."

Mi Feng, who was following Su Chengnan, heard this and turned around to say, "If we can find the Spoontail and Blue Spirit Flower, I can heal all of your burns in three days."

"Spoon Tail and Blue Spirit Flower?" Liu Zi muttered to himself, his expression a bit strange. "What are those? I've never heard of them."

Some of the medicine in Mi Feng's medicine box had been used up, and he began to feel anxious, so he started to think about finding some herbs to make temporary medicine.

He explained: "The spoon tail is white, with thread-like leaves. It looks very unique and has a faint sweet smell. But it cannot be eaten, it is poisonous."

"The blue spirit flower is very common, usually growing in areas with dense vegetation. It has small, pale blue flowers, very small, with about five or six flowers on the top of your fingernail."

Liu Laosan frowned and thought for a moment, "I've seen this flower before. There used to be a lot of it in the mountains. Who knows, maybe we'll see it again on the road."

"real?!"

"you sure?!"

Mi Feng stopped and suddenly turned around to ask him.

Liu Laosan nodded. "Why would I lie to you? We all call this thing a grass flower. It looks exactly like what you described."

Su Chengnan thought about it carefully, but she had never seen it before. So she kept her head down while walking along the way, hoping to try her luck.

Unfortunately, I wasn't so lucky and found nothing.

boom--

Thunder began to roar in the sky.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier.

"Miss, please use your cloak to keep out the rain." Jia Yi took off his cloak and supported it on Su Chengnan's head with his hands, with his whole body exposed.

Su Chengnan pushed it away and took off the one on his body. "I'm fine. Just block it yourself."

Jiayi insisted on shielding her from the rain. Su Chengnan was unwilling to persuade him, so she had to quicken her pace, muttering as she ran: "You can't get sick. If you catch a cold in this wilderness, you'll die without medicine."

Jia's eyelids twitched unconsciously, and his heart felt strangely hot. He shouldn't have let Gangzi go out to explore the way. He had been searching for so long and still hadn't come back. What a waste! All those fish were wasted.

Heavy rain fell on the mountain, colliding with the fire dragon. For a while, the situation remained stalemated, with no clear distinction between friend and foe. But the rain was so fierce that, finally, with the help of a strong wind, the fire gradually dwindled. Countless white smoke rose, and from a distance, the entire mountain range seemed enveloped in smoke...

"Miss, drink some hot water."

"Thank you, aunt."

"You're welcome. These clothes will be dry in a while. Please sit for a while. Are you cold? Do you want to come closer?"

"You all surrounded me in the innermost part, I'm not cold."

Su Chengnan held the tea cup surrounded by leaves in both hands and blew gently into it. The water was a little hot, so she could only carefully pinch the thick edge of the leaves with her fingertips.

"Miss, you are so beautiful, just like a fairy from heaven! No wonder the prince takes you with him wherever he goes."

"Don't be angry that the prince left you here alone. You are so beautiful. I believe he will never forget you and will always be thinking about you."

Su Chengnan: ???
