Close the ranch gate.

Shen Shuli tidied up the vegetable garden carefully.

Plant various vegetables and fruits, and irrigate them once with diluted spiritual spring water.

As the water level in the space dwindled, Shen Shuli grew anxious.

The ranch has nearly fifty livestock in total.

Thirteen top-quality warhorses, ten oxen, fifteen donkeys, and eight mules.

So many livestock require 1,000 to 1,500 catties of water every day.

In addition to the water used for growing vegetables and grass, as well as the water consumed by chickens, ducks, and geese, at least one ton of water is used every day.

She has already used more than half of the five tons of water she originally stored.

If she can't find a water source within two days, she'll have to consider killing the livestock.

I thought five tons of water would last a long time.

She underestimated the amount of water these livestock used.

Hey.

She couldn't bear it!

The livestock that the Lin family acquired were all of the highest quality; once they were killed, it would be very difficult to find them again.

Exit the space.

Shen Shuli tossed and turned on her makeshift bed on the floor, unable to fall asleep.

Shen Yuehua, a light sleeper, was awakened by Shen Shuli's noise.

Seeing her daughter staring blankly at the sky, she asked in a hoarse voice, "Daughter, why aren't you asleep yet?"

"It's okay, Mom, I'll go to sleep soon, you should go to sleep too." Shen Shuli said and immediately closed her eyes.

Seeing this, Shen Yuehua closed her eyes and quickly fell asleep.

The next day.

Shen Shuli was pleasantly surprised to find that several of the wounded soldiers were healing very well.

They've already gotten up and started walking.

The atmosphere in the entire camp became much more relaxed.

Shen Huai'an walked towards Shen Shuli with a happy expression.

"Ah Li, Ah Li," Shen Huai'an couldn't help but call out.

Seeing that her grandfather was in a good mood, Shen Shuli immediately went over to ask, "Grandpa, what's wrong?"

"The medicine made from the ginseng you dug up yesterday is very effective; your uncles and cousins ​​have recovered more than half of their injuries!"

"I've never heard of ginseng having such good therapeutic effects before. I estimate that we'll be able to continue our journey in another day."

"However, your second uncle's injuries are more serious, and since he hasn't fully recovered, he might have to stay in bed for a few more days. We'll take him with us then, so it won't delay our journey."

Shen Shuli felt much more relaxed upon hearing this.

"That's wonderful! I didn't expect the ginseng to be so effective. It must be because it grew in a good location and absorbed the essence of heaven and earth." Shen Shuli took this opportunity to find an excuse for the ginseng's miraculous effects.

This is not solely due to ginseng.

It's more likely that the medicinal herbs planted in the space were the ones that had the effect.

Perhaps because these herbs are not as precious as ginseng, their medicinal value has been overlooked.

The injuries of Li Rui, Li Dazhu, and the others have also improved significantly.

The wound is almost healed.

There was still half a ginseng root left, so Shen Shuli decided to brew another dose of medicine for everyone, adding some spiritual spring water to help them recover quickly.

"Xiu~!"

The wounded soldier had just finished taking his medicine.

Shen Shuli then saw a red signal flare spreading out in the distant sky.

Her heart skipped a beat.

Most people heard the sound, but didn't know where it came from.

When they looked up, the signal flare had already dissipated.

Su Yunhai happened to see the signal flare.

He immediately returned to the camp to find Shen Shuli.

"Daughter, what happened?" he asked anxiously.

Shen Shuli pulled her father up the mountain to escape the crowd.

While explaining, he quickly took out a drone from the space and began to control it.

"I placed a signal flare on the only road ahead, and I guess someone triggered it."

"I'll use a drone to scout out and see what's going on."

Su Yunhai immediately understood, frowning as he watched the screen move.

"They're bandits!"

On the screen, it was clearly visible that nearly two hundred bandits carrying knives were moving rapidly through the mountains.

Fortunately, they had set up obstacles along the way, which hindered the bandits' operation.

Otherwise, given the bandits' speed, they would catch up in less than an hour.

"Damn it, they've caught up with us again! This is really bad timing!" Su Yunhai's face was grim.

If it were before, he certainly wouldn't have been afraid.

But most of the villagers had left, and the main attack team members were still injured!

The remaining men were no match for these bandits.

"Get everyone out of here quickly. Don't take anything you don't need to. We'll figure something out once we're out of the mountains!" Su Yunhai made the decision immediately.

"Dad, go and inform everyone that I'm going to plant some bombs along the way. Every minute we can buy them time!"

Shen Shuli acted immediately.

The reason for not setting up bombs beforehand was to avoid accidentally injuring other passersby.

But now I can't worry about that anymore.

"Quick! The bandits are coming! Don't take anything! Run!"

"Make room for a few carts to haul the wounded up, and carry those you can on your backs and run!"

Hearing Su Yunhai's urgent shout.

The villagers, who had been leisurely, immediately erupted in uproar.

They didn't question Su Yunhai's words at all and took action without saying a word.

If there are wounded people at home, immediately dump all the belongings from the truck onto the ground, put soft things like blankets underneath, and run away with the injured person!

If there are too many things on the car to unload, immediately carry them on your back and run.

After several crises, the villagers have learned their lesson and dare not bring anything with them at all.

Fortunately, they were aware of the danger and carried their silver and other valuables with them.

Food and other necessities can be replenished if they run out.

It would be truly the end if we lost our lives for those external things!

The man carried the wounded soldier on his back as he ran.

A woman runs while carrying her child on her back.

The older children run around on their own.

Even though the elderly person can't run anymore, they still try their best to run.

Only the Shen family members ran the slowest.

Both families had able-bodied men who were injured, but their lives were at stake, so they could only grit their teeth and endure the pain to keep running.

Su Ping'an's arm has mostly healed, but it still needs to rest for two more days, otherwise it will really be crippled.

He was worried about his wife's pregnancy, so he carried Zhang Lanhua on his back and ran away.

As for Su Chang'an and Su Ding'an, although they were not injured, they couldn't even lift fifty pounds.

They are simply unable to share the burden with others.

Looking at his two sons, Su Yunhai wished he could throw them against the wall.

Even if he carried Shen Yuebai, he could run faster than these two weaklings.

What a waste!

They need to be given a good beating from now on!

"waste!"

"Serves you right for being lazy all the time!"

"Your wife can run faster than you even carrying your son! What use are you as a man?!"

Su Yunhai grew angrier the more he thought about it, and only felt better after he returned and kicked each of his two sons.

Su Chang'an and Su Ding'an were panting heavily from running, and were even kicked to the ground by their father.

They immediately fell to the very back of the line.

"Ah, Father! Are you hoping your son dies? What kind of father are you!" Su Chang'an tried to get up several times but couldn't, and he was so anxious that he almost cried.

Su Ding'an helped him up after he got up.

Fortunately, the obstacles on the road had been cleared in advance, so the run went relatively smoothly.

Shen Shuli scattered more than 30 bombs and landmines within a two-kilometer radius.

She wouldn't have time to arrange anything more.

Return to camp.

Everybody ran away.

All that remained were supplies and carts scattered across the ground.

Shen Shuli put them all into her storage space.

Once these people are dealt with, we'll return them to their original location and let the villagers take them away.

In order to restrain the mountain bandits.

She left some empty boxes and a small amount of food and dried meat as bait at the camp, and scattered some bombs around the area before leaving.
