The soldiers suddenly realized and returned to the team to protect Xu Zhiyan.

Xu Zhiyan continued to follow the people in front of her, and soon saw a large field of wild vegetables. The villagers squatted down silently but skillfully and began to dig with their hands. The gaps between their fingernails were filled with soil. Every time they dug, it was a big surprise to people. , are all painful.

But they didn't dodge at all, they dug harder every time, and in the end the soil was covered with blood.

Xu Zhiyan watched helplessly as the bloodshot eyes increased but did not stop her.

[Vent, it’s better to vent than to be trapped in your heart. 】

But the time to vent silently did not last long. I don’t know when someone started sobbing. Gradually, it developed into howling. Some people cursed the world while crying, and some regretted not getting along well with their family members before their death. .

All in all, the regrets are different, but equally deafening.

Xu Zhiyan handed out a handkerchief to the person closest to her.

The man covered his face with a handkerchief, and his shoulders twitched more and more frequently.

This collapse lasted for nearly half an hour. Even if she stopped crying later, she was still confused. Fortunately, Xu Zhiyan had not planned to rely on their help to pick wild vegetables. After she and the soldiers had picked as many wild vegetables as possible, she took them with her. Follow this group of people down the mountain.

The shed has been set up at the foot of the mountain.

On the mountain, Xu Zhiyan washed the wild vegetables with mountain spring water. Then she put the wild vegetables directly into the big pot, added water and seasoning.

In order to increase satiety, she also mixed potato starch and poured it in to thicken the soup. Soon, a pot of wild vegetable soup came out of the oven, and almost everyone who survived came to line up to drink the soup.

Xu Zhiyan also took a bowl in one hand and sat side by side with Xu Yanqing on a broken beam. While feeding him, she snored and drank. Hua Xunyu was speechless when he saw this scene as he passed by.

"Yanqing, you only injured one hand, why can't you hold the bowl and drink by yourself? Hurry up and take the bowl, don't tire us girls."

Xu Yanqing refused and winked at Hua Xunyu.

"I have a sister who hurts me. Hey, uncle, are you jealous?"

Hua Xunyu raised his hand and gave him a blow.

"I think you are so brave that you dare to tease me."

The words were harsh, but the tone was not harsh at all. When she sat down next to him, she even wiped his mouth. This action disgusted him so much that he hid aside with a wrinkled face.

"Brother-in-law, what are you doing? How old am I?"

"How dare you say it? How old you are, you still eat food on your face."

Xu Yanqing pouted, raised his good hand, took his bowl from Xu Zhiyan's hand, and drank the remaining wild vegetable soup in one gulp.

"No more gossip, uncle, have you found anything?"

"We only found that various secret places around and inside the town had been sprinkled with kerosene and flammable things had been piled up."

It is easy to find other fire points. The heaviest color in the fire scene is basically the source of the fire.

Xu Zhiyan shook her legs.

"I guessed it. After all, it's not that easy to get out such a big fire, but it also proves that we were targeted before we set off. The other party planted people here, knew our marching route, and made preparations in advance. Prepared.”

She saw this as a breakthrough.

Just find the pieces in your team and everything else will be easier.

But Xu Yanqing didn't think so.

"During our rescue, we sacrificed some soldiers and caused such a big incident. It is very likely that the chess pieces deliberately died to cut off the clues." [Okay, I was thinking too little. 】

"Forget it, this is not something I thought clearly. I will be responsible for checking the injuries of the survivors and arranging their meals."

Xu Zhiyan jumped down, patted the dust off her body, and walked towards the crowd with an empty bowl in a swagger.

……

Because of the fire, the marching team was forced to stand still. In order not to affect the official business, Hua Xunyu immediately divided two-thirds of the people to continue marching along the new route. The leader was Xu Yanqing.

Xu Yanqing raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"My hands are like this, and I can't hold the reins firmly. How can I still lead the team? Don't be knocked down by the dissatisfied people. Why don't you lead the team, uncle? I'll stay here, not only to recover from my injuries, but also to accompany you. With your daughter in hand, you can achieve multiple things with one stone.”

Hua Xunyu looked at Xu Zhiyan, "Nanny, what do you think?"

Xu Zhiyan didn't notice what they were saying at all. She had a dream yesterday about Xu Yanqing's death. It was also in the mountains and forests. She didn't know whether it was affected by the memory of the day or something. She felt that the mountains and forests in the dream were very similar to the one now. .

The sudden panic and anxiety weighed on her heart, reducing the sensitivity of her five senses. Hua Xunyu called her many times before he successfully regained her attention.

Her eyelashes trembled, she lowered her eyes and pulled away the broken hair from her ears.

"I'm sorry, uncle. I was thinking about something and didn't hear what you said. Can you say it again?"

Hua Xunyu did not repeat it, but looked at her worriedly.

"Nanny, are you feeling uncomfortable? I've never seen you so distracted."

"It's okay, maybe I'm a little tired from the past two days."

"I'm tired. Then don't stay here. It just so happens that your brother refused the task of leading the soldiers to continue marching because he wanted to accompany you. If you follow, he will definitely not be able to refuse."

Xu Yanqing never expected that the direction would be like this, but before he could say anything, Xu Zhiyan agreed immediately, and she also strongly requested Hua Xunyu to follow her.

"My people will arrive today. They have brought enough supplies to last until the court orders the disaster relief officials to arrive, so none of us need to stay."

"Brother and uncle, believe me, I think there are still many dangers on our trip, and I can't let any of you leave my sight!"

At the end of her speech, her tone of voice rose unconsciously.

Xu Yanqing realized something was wrong with her and took a step forward to hug her with one hand.

"Okay, okay, don't be afraid, nanny, we are all here. How about we wait for your people to arrive before setting off?"

Xu Zhiyan could accept this proposal, and she agreed.

……

At noon, Xu Zhiyan's people arrived with a large amount of supplies. After handing over to the team leader, she urged her uncle and brother to leave. They had no choice but to speed up and set off. When they were about to leave the mountain, an accident happened.

The sudden collapse of the tree threw many people off the mountain road, and Xu Yanqing was one of them.

Xu Zhiyan subconsciously rushed towards the place where he disappeared, stretched her hands as hard as she could, and said in a sharp voice, "Brother——"

Fortunately, Hua Xunyu had quick eyesight and quick hands to catch him, otherwise he would have followed him down.

She struggled hard.

"Let me go, I want to save my little brother. It's all my fault. If I hadn't insisted on walking together and wasted some time, my little brother wouldn't have had this happen!" (End of Chapter)
