Become a founding empress in ancient times with the system

The soldier took a few steps back in fear, standing there at a loss, stammering, "Sir."

Sheng Changan frowned. "This is a salt lake. If you go in like this, your hands and feet will rot."

Everyone wore cloth shoes, which could easily cause skin discomfort if they stepped into the lake. Medical care was underdeveloped in ancient times, so if something happened, it would be difficult to get treatment.

The soldier took a few steps back in fear. He was the only male in his family. It would be so shameful if he didn't die on the battlefield but died here.

Li Dashan hesitated a little: "Can salt still be in water?" Aren't they all salt mines?

"Of course, but this salt cannot be eaten directly and needs to be processed." After thinking about it, Sheng Changan decided to popularize some knowledge to them.

"I hope that next time you encounter a place you're not familiar with, you'll try to find a way to test it out first, instead of just jumping in."

"This lake is blue and not very deep. If it were green, people might not be able to get out if they fell in."

"Clear water is shallow, green water is deep, black water is abyssal, blue water is wide, yellow water is fast. I hope you remember this sentence." If nothing unexpected happens, they are likely to see the sea.

If they don't know the situation and walk in, it will be no small matter. We must make them more vigilant from now on.

The people present looked serious and nodded.

Du Zhong touched his beard. Could this girl really be a fairy? Impossible?

Sheng Changan looked at the endless salt lake and sighed again, this forest is really huge, there is such a big lake inside it.

Fortunately, the salt problem has been solved, and she can breathe a sigh of relief. The next step is to find a way to purify the salt. The extraction of lake salt is relatively simple, and it can be done by evaporation.

Sheng Changan thought of the soldier's excited look and said with certainty, "You are out of water."

"Yes." We have been in the mountains for several days. Although we prepared some water when we came, there is not much left now.

"In that case, let's take a rest nearby first." Sheng Changan looked around. "Dashan, bring some bamboo tubes with me."

Sheng Changan walked forward and looked at the tall, straight tree in front of him. "Find a sturdy wooden stick to tie the bamboo tube together, and then find a clean branch."

Du Zhong also followed curiously, thinking that maybe he would be able to use this in the future.

Sheng Changan directly instructed Li Dashan to use a dagger to make a hole in the tree, insert the small branch into it, and then tie the bamboo tube to the tree. "That's it. Come back later and there will be water."

Two soldiers excitedly said, "Sir, I'll guard here."

Sheng Changan raised his eyebrows and said, "Sure, anyone who is curious can take a look here."

As a result, everyone except Li Dashan, including Du Zhong, stayed there.

"Aren't you curious?" Sheng Changan didn't turn around.

"I can go check it out later. Your Excellency needs someone by his side." Li Dashan said seriously.

Sheng Changan didn't say anything else. She still cherished her life very much. Others could be reincarnated, but she would only have her soul torn apart.

And this forest may not be very safe, so you still have to be careful.

"You should know that there is a high probability that there is an ocean beyond this forest." Sheng Changan saw Li Dashan nod before continuing, "I want to go to the end of this forest and take a look."

"So, we'll try to take them through more training in the forest. It would be best if everyone can adapt to the forest environment and get food and water locally."

"They need to be able to basically survive in the forest. Aside from the miasma-infested areas, try to take them inside as much as possible."

Li Dashan nodded solemnly, "I understand."

Sheng Changan smiled gently again. "Don't be so nervous. How's your training been lately?"

"With weapons, everyone's strength has increased a lot." Li Dashan was a little distressed. He hadn't seen the adults for a while, and they looked a little scary.

Seeing that Li Dashan didn't answer his previous question, Sheng Changan tried to slow down his expression and asked, "How is your training going?"

After hearing this, Li Dashan became more serious. "Your Excellency, the weapon that Captain Shen had made is very suitable for me. I've practiced with it for the past two days and it feels pretty good."

Li Dashan's ability to say it was good indicated that this weapon was indeed to his liking. However, seeing Li Dashan's nervous expression, Sheng Changan decided to change the subject. "If there's anything missing from the barracks, just tell me."

"You're the one who became my subordinate from the very beginning. You can directly say anything that others are not convenient to mention."

Li Dashan slowly breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and showed his front teeth, scratched his head and said, "Thank you for your concern, sir."

Looking at Li Dashan's relaxed expression, Sheng Changan smiled with relief.

"There's water, there's really water." Then there was a sound of someone running towards this side, and Sheng Changan could even hear the rustling sound of grass being blown past.

"Sir, there is water, there is really water." A soldier ran over carrying a bamboo tube.

Li Dashan also took a closer look, and a look of joy appeared on his brows.

Sheng Changan curled his lips and smiled. Life like this was pretty good. It was a pity that the current situation was not optimistic, otherwise he could stay here for a while longer.

Li Dashan turned around with a shy smile on his face, "Sir, I want to go and see it too."

"Go!" Sheng Changan's eyes were gentle.

"You stay here." Li Dashan gave the order and started walking over there.

Looking at the soldier with a childish face, Sheng Changan asked, "How old are you?"

"Fifteen," he said, grinning, showing his teeth.

Fifteen! Sheng Changan was a little dazed, and asked unconsciously: "What's your name, and why did you join the army?"

"My Lord, my name is Wang Yue. I am the only one left in my family. I came here because I heard that I could kill the Xianbei."

Wang Yue's eyes were shining. He was not afraid of the upcoming war, but only full of fighting spirit and hatred.

Sheng Changan moved his lips but didn't say much. This situation easily made people think that something had happened to his family. He just consoled them, "Then do your best and kill more Xianbei people."

Wang Yue nodded vigorously, revealing the dimples on his cheeks.

Sheng Changan was stunned. With this dimple, he looked even smaller.

He obviously realized something and immediately restrained the impudent smile on his face: "Sir, I will go to light the fire."

Speaking of which, since she came here, she has only seen people who look older, but never those who look younger. Sheng Changan's eyes moved slightly. Is he really fifteen years old?

Soon her thoughts were distracted as Li Dashan and his group came over, holding bamboo tubes filled with water and hanging them on their belts.

Du Zhong was also a little excited. He didn't expect there was such a method.

The night in the forest was exceptionally quiet, with only the crackling sound of the fire on the ground and a small sound like something sliding.

Li Dashan looked grim and called everyone softly to leave quickly. He suspected it was a big guy.
