After the separation, the family had a lot of fish and meat every day, and the best was furious

Lin Ting couldn't bear to see this, so she spoke up to remind him first. She walked forward, and only when she got closer did she realize what the young general looked like.

His eyes were like cold stars, his thin lips were tightly pursed under his high nose bridge, and his right hand was holding the hilt of the sword at his waist, as if to say that if Lin Ting dared to move, he could kill Lin at any time.

"Who are you? And why are you here so late at night?"

As the second prince of Dongxia Kingdom, he has been stationed in the border town for many years. He knows everything about the people in the border town. In contrast, Lin Ting and his group are obviously outsiders.

In addition, there is a war going on in the border town now. If it weren't for the fact that Lin Ting had people rescue these villagers and kill the Xiluo people, he would definitely arrest Lin Ting and interrogate him first.

"Bai Lu, go get my medicine box."

After Lin Ting had finished instructing Bai Lu, he stepped forward to answer Xiao Jingchuan.

"I'm a merchant from Dongxia Country. I came to the border town to do business. I stopped by here to rest, sit down and have something to eat before continuing on my journey."

Lin Ting did not fully reveal her identity. She did not know the person in front of her, so it was better to be careful.

Xiao Jingchuan turned his eyes and saw that Lin Ting and her group were carrying two large pots and had not had time to put them away.

There were probably three bowls of meat porridge left in the two pots. Seeing the meat porridge, he instinctively swallowed his saliva.

However, Lin Ting saw his reaction. During the war in the border town, it was good to have something to eat, and it was rare to see meat porridge.

"Merchants from Dongxia Country come to the border town to do business. But the border town is not a good place to do business now."

Xiao Jingchuan still doubted Lin Ting's identity. A businessman was actually surrounded by more than ten experts as guards. Such a caravan was too unusual.

"Ma'am, your medicine box."

Bai Lu took the medicine box from the carriage and gave it to Lin Ting. Lin Ting squatted down and used medicine to clean the uncle's wound first.

She then applied some hemostatic and tissue-growing powder that she had prepared herself, and finally bandaged the uncle's wound.

"Uncle, luckily no bones were injured. Remember to keep the wound away from water. I'll also give you this medicine powder. Change the medicine once a day."

The medicine Lin Ting used to clean the uncle was not irritating at all and was cool. After washing, it didn't hurt so much.

It's obvious that this is a good medicine. As farmers, they are afraid that they will never be able to use such a good medicine in their lifetime. He really met a good person today.

"Thank you, thank you, ma'am. You are such a kind person."

Lin Ting smiled and stood up, standing in front of Xiao Jingchuan, took out the pass from his waist and showed it to him to prove his identity.

"You are a garrison in the border town, so you should know this. I am not lying to you."

Xiao Jingchuan took the pass from Lin Ting's hand, which indeed stated that she was going to the border town to do business.

Moreover, this document is stamped with an official seal.

"Madam Weirui, there's a large Weirui Pavilion opened in Border Town. Is it yours?"

Lin Ting took the pass back from Xiao Jingchuan and pointed to his own carriages.

"Yes, I'm in the clothing business. My business is all over Dongxia. Those cars are filled with the latest styles of clothing and fabrics that I brought from the capital."

It seems that they are not enemies. Xiao Jingchuan asked his men to put away their weapons and kindly reminded Lin Ting.

"The border town today is no longer what it used to be. There is no profit to be made here. Go back to where you came from, or you will lose your lives."

Lin Ting came to complete the task, not to make money, so naturally he would not put profit first.

"Whether there will be any profit or not depends on the Border City Army. If the Border City Army defeats Xiluo, then the Border City will be in ruins and will have a lot of money to make."

Lin Ting laughed as he spoke, which perfectly reflected the profit-seeking nature of businessmen.

Xiao Jingchuan's eyes twitched slightly, and he felt disgusted with Lin Tingzhong in his heart. The businessman didn't know the suffering of the people and only thought about profit.

The woman in front of me even planned to make money from the national disaster. How hateful and despicable!

"lady......"

Bai Lu stood behind Lin Ting and looked at the villagers who had just been rescued. They were staring at the meat porridge left over from Lin Ting and the others.

These people seemed to have not eaten for a long time. Lin Ting saw it, she smiled at Xiao Jingchuan, turned around to get a few bowls, and distributed the remaining porridge in the pot to these villagers.

"Uncle, what's your name?"

Lin Ting brought the porridge to the uncle who was more seriously injured. The other four were still able to move and did not need any care.

"No need to bother with your surname, Shi!"

"Hello, Uncle Shi, why are you here? And why are you being hunted by the Xiluo people?"

What Lin Ting asked was also what Xiao Jingchuan wanted to ask. The border town was short of water. He heard from a villager that there were big trees on both sides of the mountain stream, and there was also a small mountain spring here.

Uncle Shi took the porridge from Lin Ting's hand and answered Lin Ting while eating.

"Madam, you don't know that there is no drinking water in the border town. The wells that do exist have been plundered before dawn.

The river has dried up, so we have no choice but to come here from a small village outside the border town to get drinking water.

The spring here used to be very big, but now it has become very small. It took us more than an hour to fill the buckets and water bags with water."

There was not much porridge in the bowl, and Uncle Shi finished it in a few bites. Although he was not full, his strength had obviously returned.

“Biancheng is now at war with Xiluo. Not far from Biancheng is the Xiluo people’s base. They may have heard about this water source, so they came here to get water.

But the water level was too low, and we didn’t know how long it would take to collect enough water, so they wanted to snatch the water we had collected. As a result, this scene that you see happened, ma’am.

We are from the same village. If we hadn't seen the light of the Madam cooking porridge, we would never have dared to come here. We are also betting that you are not from Xiluo."

As expected, due to the competition for water resources, the drought in the border town seems to be more serious than Lin Ting had imagined.

"It will take at least a day and a night to walk from the border town to here. You..."

Faced with the natural disaster, Xiao Jingchuan was powerless. Looking at the people in the border town who were living in such an environment, he felt helpless every day.

"The general is right, but in order to bring some water back to my family, I have to come here to find water even if it takes a day and a night to walk. There is water too close, and we can't grab it."

It’s so difficult, Lin Ting comforted the others.

"How about this, we are going to the border town as well. You guys can take our carriage later. It will be safer this way."

Uncle Shi and his companions immediately thanked Lin Ting.

"Thank you, ma'am. Thank you so much."

The soldier who had finished checking the bodies of the Xiluo people ran over and reported to Xiao Jingchuan.

"Coach, they are Saren's men."

Saren, the commander of Xiluo, has had many battles with Xiao Jingchuan and is a strong rival.

"Go get some water, and we'll go back once it's full."

Passing Lin Ting, Xiao Jingchuan sat on another big rock and asked his men to fetch water from the mountain stream. He pulled three big buckets.

Filling these three buckets with water, plus the water from the well in the military camp, is enough for the soldiers to drink for three days.
