Famine and exile: I brought the Spirit Spring to save the entire Marquis's mansion.

Huo Chang'an didn't utter another word.

After enduring the pain of being cut, a cool sensation follows.

Sang Ning washed away the bloodstains with the spiritual spring water.

Jintang's facial injuries have healed a lot today, which shows that the anti-corrosion and tissue-regenerating medicine is effective. She removed all of Huo Chang'an's bruises, and with the help of the spiritual spring water, the tissue-regenerating medicine will be even more effective.

After rinsing off, both of them were covered in sweat.

One was in pain, the other was nervous.

Sang Ning essentially subjected Huo Chang'an to torture once again.

A layer of skin and flesh was scraped off.

This guy is really good at enduring things.

He gritted his teeth so hard he could make a grinding sound but didn't even cry out.

After applying the medicine, Sang Ning still put on a piece of Sanbaicao (a type of herb).

The uncle and nephew are now the same.

Sang Ning laughed: "Once your face heals, you'll be surrounded by girls."

The boy's eyes were red from his earlier restraint. He lay on the edge of the bed, his gaze fixed on Sang Ning above him.

Even though he was below, he felt incredibly oppressed.

Sang Ning's smile gradually froze.

This little wolf cub is unpredictable, making it hard to guess what he's thinking, and sometimes it's quite frightening.

She's not as likable as Jintang.

She then wrapped a clean strip of cloth around his face to prevent dirt from getting into the wound and causing infection.

Then the water was changed again.

"Wash your hair, wash your hair."

……

Li Yuzhi returned after they had all finished washing up.

As soon as she entered, Sang Ning immediately locked the door again.

Everyone is digging a small patch of land at the base of the yard wall to water the area and plant some vegetables!

"How are you, sister-in-law? Are you alright?"

"She didn't look anything wrong, just looked extremely haggard. She wasn't home when I went there, and I waited at the door for ages before she came back."

Li Yuzhi spoke casually, spreading her hands to reveal two familiar little things.

"They also gave me two meatballs to give to the children."

Sanning: "..."

Huo Jingya exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't this the same meatballs that my sister-in-law bought on the street? They're delicious."

"Really? What a coincidence."

Isn't that a coincidence?

I never expected that woman to be my eldest cousin's wife.

That's not nothing, it's something really serious, they look like they don't want to live anymore!

"Sister-in-law, what kind of person is your eldest cousin? How is his relationship with your eldest cousin's wife?"

"Him? He's quite polite and doesn't talk much, but he dotes on your eldest cousin's wife. I remember receiving a letter from Cuiyu a year ago, saying that your cousin promised her that he would take her to the capital for a trip when the child is a little older."

You should know that my second uncle doesn't associate with their family at all.

The fact that her eldest cousin, who manages the family business, promised Cuiyu is enough to show how much he values ​​her.

“It’s not certain now. Maybe his family has suffered a disaster, his temperament has changed drastically, he’s upset and might beat or scold his wife!” Sang Ning said.

Li Yuzhi wasn't stupid; she immediately realized something was wrong.

"Sister-in-law, what do you know?"

"I don't know anything else, but I do know that she showed signs of wanting to commit suicide."

Sang Ning told her what she had seen.

Judging from Mo Yucui's actions, she seems to be a kind-hearted person. Since we're relatives, I'll help her if I can, and make sure she doesn't get killed.

If she were truly abused by a man, she could take care of that spineless man for her!

"That's impossible. My eldest cousin doesn't look... he doesn't look fierce at all."

Li Yuzhi muttered to herself, unable to believe it.

"Let's keep an eye on it."

Humans are such complex creatures; change can happen in the blink of an eye.

One moment they treat you like a treasure, the next they'll treat you like trash.

The most unreliable species is men!

*

The next day, a young official arrived and ordered them to follow him to find water.

There were several families in the group, one of whom was Huo Baohong!

He injured his leg with a pickaxe and couldn't clear the land, so he pleaded with the prefect to help him find a water source.

What were they thinking? Clearing land is tiring, but at least you don't have to walk so much. When you're looking for water, you have to go up and down hills, right?

"Isn't there any other work? At your age, you're going to make yourself sick by all this trouble," Sang Ning asked the officer.

Although the official was cold, he answered seriously: "Yes, you can watch the hay storage yard, do odd jobs in the military camp, or you can be exempted from military service."

"Exemption from military service? How can I be exempted from military service?"

Sang Ning didn't want to serve in the military forever; she wanted to make food to earn money!

The official's surname was Lin, and his name was Lin Qiusheng.

Hearing Sang Ning's question, he didn't speak.

It was one of the women in the group who spoke up.

Forget it, it's not your turn!

"Would it be your turn?" Sang Ning then asked in return.

The woman choked, turned her head away angrily, and ignored her.

Huo Baohong scolded Sang Ning: "Don't ask questions if there's nothing wrong with you. Why are you asking so many questions? Behave yourself!"

Oh ho! He's backstabbing me when I talk to him!

That old man!

Give him a good whack!

"Don't cause trouble for Si Lang!" Huo Baohong said irritably.

Huo Jingya raised her chin and shouted, "How did my fourth sister-in-law cause trouble for my fourth brother! Your legs are useless but your mouth is still sharp. Why did you interrupt when my fourth aunt was talking to the police!"

Huo Baohong: "..."

Sang Ning gave Huo Jingya a thumbs up.

It wasn't all for nothing.

Encouraged, Huo Jingya continued to disrespect her elders to the very end.

"Don't think you can lecture people just because you're old. My fourth sister-in-law has eaten more salt than you've eaten rice!"

Sanning: "..."

Huo Baohong: "You, you child! I'm your own uncle!"

"Sorry, I don't know you! Did you hold me when I was little? Did you give me a piece of candy? Did you call my name?"

If you don't have any of that, have some shame! Don't try to act like an elder now!

The only people who consider him family are his mother and sister-in-law. How could they possibly know who he is?

Huo Baohong's face immediately fell, and he looked very dejected.

Yes, so what kind of uncle is he?

The other two families watched them argue as if it were a joke.

Lin Qiusheng said coldly, "Let's go. If you can find a water source, it will be a great achievement, and your whole family will be exempt from military service."

"Really? If we really find them, who will be responsible for all these people? Will they all be exempt from payment?"

This time, Lin Qiusheng was really impatient.

"Find it first, then we'll talk!"

The woman sneered again in a low voice, "Who do you think you are? The prefect has sent several groups of people to look for you, but they couldn't even come up with a solution for the moon not being full. And you still want to make a name for yourself?"

“I’m your living ancestor!” Sang Ning cursed.

The moon is not yet full, but Hua Wuque is still here!

"you……"

"Call him ancestor!" Huo Jingya followed up angrily.

"Alright, alright! You women are so noisy! You're driving me crazy!" Lin Qiusheng actually covered his ears.

All you know is that you can't get anything done by leading a bunch of women!

She can't climb mountains, she can't go down into ditches, she twists her ankle all the time, and then she cries.

He figured he could just wander around.

Finding water requires the men.

"Well, Officer Lin, have you investigated where the water in Moon Spring comes from? Has the source dried up?" Sang Ning asked seriously.

Lin Qiusheng stared at her for a long time, seemingly not understanding what she meant.

"The water comes from the spring, so where else could it come from?"

"No, the spring is gushing out groundwater. When the groundwater flows, it encounters the interface between the permeable and impermeable layers, or underground faults, and then flows out to the surface along these channels."

Groundwater can be a few meters or even hundreds of meters deep. It flows underground and will not easily stop flowing unless the source dries up.

"You don't know the source?"
