In a chaotic world of infrastructure development, a woman's path to survival after being reborn

What was initially uncertain as to whether they were friend or foe is now definitively clear: these people's motives are definitely not as simple as they seem.

"I never expected this man to be so lucky. He survived even in such dire straits. I have to admire him," a general remarked.

Upon hearing this, the others immediately retorted irritably, "What's so admirable about this person? He's just lucky. God is so unfair; why does someone like him have such good luck?"

Having seen the man's entire appearance clearly, Zhao Zexuan said meaningfully upon hearing this, "It's still fair, otherwise how would we have run into them?"

"What were those refugees called, and what did they do before?" Zhao Zexuan asked.

Upon hearing this, Wang Zong immediately replied, "General, this man is named Wu Jun. I've heard people mention him. He used to be the sixth leader of this group of refugees in Tongcheng. However, he is cunning and never takes charge of fighting on the battlefield. He is mainly responsible for managing the granary, which is why he was able to get advance notice and escape successfully that time."

Zhao Zexuan had good eyesight and could see what the group of people were doing on the boat from afar. He didn't expect that even at this time, those people could still live such a carefree life.

One of the generals, who understood the situation, whispered, "General, judging from the depth of those ships underwater, I guess they must have a lot of grain on board!"

The generals present were all skilled warriors. Upon hearing this, they all observed carefully, and then their faces revealed meaningful expressions.

The generals exchanged glances and then said, "Indeed, it's fair."

The purpose of this group is unclear, so we need to be more careful. After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Zexuan ordered, "Find some soldiers who are good swimmers to ambush underwater. I want to see what these people are up to."

Upon hearing this, the generals became excited, wishing that these people were targeting them so that they could rightfully receive the grain.

There might be a fierce battle later, so Zhao Zexuan ordered the soldiers to close all the windows on all floors and let the people hide and try not to make any noise.

At this moment, Su Li was leading her people to prepare dry rations. Listening to the soldier's detailed instructions, she nodded silently to indicate that she understood.

The women working nearby also heard the news. They stopped what they were doing and surrounded Su Li with worried expressions, saying, "Will nothing bad happen?"

Su Li shook her head and said, "Probably not. Those people are on a boat in the water, so their movements are restricted. Even if they wanted to do something, it would be difficult. Besides, with soldiers around, they can't be too arrogant."

Hearing Su Li's explanation, the women felt much relieved, but they still couldn't help but worry, fearing that something unexpected might happen.

"Since you've told us to stop what we're doing and keep quiet, then we'll follow your instructions. All of you ladies, if you have elderly people or children at home, please go back and let them know so they won't panic and can try not to disturb the soldiers."

Hearing Su Li say this, the women present seemed to have a direction and immediately nodded and said, "Okay, we'll go back right away and calm the children at home, and we'll definitely not let them make a fuss."

Su Li nodded, and then saw that the aunties who had been chatting and laughing just now were now rushing home with tense expressions, probably because they were scared.

After the work of making dry rations stopped, Su Li felt relieved. Since everyone had gone back, Su Li turned around and returned to her temporary lodging to rest.

Actually, the last rush did have some impact on Su Li. That night, she had a slight pain in her lower abdomen, but fortunately, she drank some spiritual spring water in time, which stabilized her condition.

Sitting on the bed, Su Li carefully touched her not-so-protruding belly and sighed. There were still more than eight months from pregnancy to delivery, and she didn't know what would happen in those eight months.

During this time, Su Li led the women in the village to make dry rations. She knew better than anyone else about the food supplies in the team, and it was precisely because of this knowledge that she felt worried.

Given the current number of people in the team and the daily losses, it's a pipe dream to think that this amount of food can successfully reach Lingnan. We have no idea what the situation will be like next.

"Sigh." Su Li couldn't help but sigh. In the end, she couldn't come up with a suitable solution, so she could only close her eyes and rest, while her consciousness entered the space.

There was still plenty of food stored in the space. Although Su Li had consumed some, it was still quite full, which was reassuring to see.

Looking at the supplies piled up in the space, Su Li felt a little relieved. She skillfully picked up some spiritual spring water and drank a few mouthfuls. Then she sat down to the side and said regretfully, "This space is very good. The only drawback is that it can't be used for planting. If it could be used to grow crops, that would be great."

"Sigh." After a moment of regret, Su Li returned to normal. She felt that people shouldn't be too greedy. They should be content with having enough space and shouldn't ask for too much!

Thinking about the remaining food supplies outside, Su Li decided to take stock of her own supplies to find out the exact amount. As she was taking stock, she unexpectedly discovered a large potted plant.

Looking at the large potted plant that occupied a small space in front of her, Su Li thought back carefully and then realized why she had taken it in. It was not only because the large potted plant was valuable, but also because of the "green onion" on the plant.

Having worked as a maid in the Zhang household for several months, Su Li could say with certainty that the people there didn't know the uses of scallions. Otherwise, why would they be left idle in a corner of the kitchen, almost being thrown out along with the pot of scallions?

It was strange that the Zhang family would grow scallions on potted plants and even planned to throw them away as garbage, but that didn't stop Su Li from storing the scallions and potted plants into her spatial storage.

It had been a while since the potted plant was stored in the space, and Su Li had almost forgotten about it. Now, looking at the thriving "scallions," a guess suddenly popped into her mind: could it be that if the soil was put into a container and placed in the space, the crop could still survive?

Suddenly realizing this possibility, Su Li couldn't help but touch her heart, which was beating merrily, her excitement beyond words.

Without waiting a moment longer, Su Li quickly plucked the "scallions" from the potted plant, processed them to prepare for use as seeds, and then carefully selected the crop she most wanted to plant from the seed bag next to her and planted it.

Thinking about the effects of the spiritual spring water, Su Li had a vague idea. She carefully moved the potted plant to the mouth of the spiritual spring, then scooped some spiritual spring water and poured it around the newly planted seeds. Then she saw a magical scene: the sweet potatoes that were originally planted needed two months to be sealed in the pot, but now this stage was skipped and they could be processed directly.

Seeing this, Su Li was stunned. If that were the case, wouldn't she be able to get ripe sweet potatoes after watering them twice more?
