Chapter 439 Burning Poppies
Several people quickened their pace and walked towards the cave.

Outside the cave were overgrown with thorns and weeds, if it weren't for the full moon in the sky, it would be difficult for them to see the entrance of the cave.

The four lit a torch, held the torch, and walked carefully into the cave.

The entrance of the cave is very narrow, and only one person can pass through at a time, and four people can go in at a time.The inside is very open, and it looks like it can accommodate more than a dozen people at the same time. There are straws on the ground, and a few animal skins for heating. It can be seen that this is a place for the hunters to rest temporarily.

"Wow! The place is not bad, much better than I imagined." Xiaoqing was easy to be satisfied, and first sat down and rested her feet.

"Sisters, sit down here, it's soft and nice!" She really wanted to roll here and celebrate that she had found her sister.

But suddenly I remembered what my mother said, she is 14 years old now, she is a big girl, she can't jump around like a bunny all day, she will be laughed at by others.

Xiaoshu saw her younger sister's embarrassment, smiled and sat beside her. "Don't think too much, just be happy, no one here will laugh at you, it's all your sister."

"Well, Xiaoqing is so happy. I have finally found my sister, and I am lucky to have met so many sisters." Xiaoqing smiled with a smile on her face.

"Everyone is tired, let's go to rest quickly, but we don't need someone to watch tonight, you go to bed first, I will watch, and when I can't stand the sleepiness, I will call you to take over." Fu Ling suggested.

"Okay, let's go to sleep, everyone, we have to continue our journey tomorrow morning." Jingxin nodded and told the two sisters to go to bed quickly.

In the dead of night, only the chirping of autumn insects reminded the four girls that they are now in the wild and should be more careful.

Maybe it was because they were too tired, they stuck to the "bed" and fell asleep.

Looking at Jingxin's tired face, Fu Ling couldn't help shaking her head. It turns out that the general's wife is not easy to be. It's okay for the general to charge into the battle. The general's wife has not stopped her mission even though she is pregnant. It is indeed throwing their heads and blood, which has made countless people admire.

Fu Ling had been on duty all night, and she didn't dare to close her eyelids. She couldn't bear to wake up any of the sisters, because they all slept so soundly, so she could only insist on herself and let them have a good night's sleep.

Just after midnight, Jingxin woke up in a daze, "Qingfeng, go to sleep, I'll be on duty at night, you are already tired enough."

"Forget it, you, you are a special group of people, I am really embarrassed to trouble you, go to sleep, you will have to work hard all day tomorrow." Fu Ling declined with a smile, she is more energetic than Jing Xin, how can she be embarrassed Let a pregnant woman come to watch the night. Others don't know her situation, but Fu Ling knows it. She can't ignore this fact.

"Okay, then I must be on duty tomorrow, and I can't just tire you alone." Jingxin was a little embarrassed, said a few polite words, then turned over and fell asleep quietly again.

The long night finally came to an end, the sky broke and the morning birds sang.

"Sisters, it's time to wake up. We have to divide the work first, and then come back to gather." Jingxin woke up the two sisters.

"Xiaoshu and Xiaoqing, go and see if there is any fresh water nearby, and bring some. Fuling and I will go and get some food." Jingxin ordered.

"Okay, let's go right away and gather here later." Xiaoqing answered happily.

Soon the four of them set off, and Jingxin and Fuling were responsible for finding food. It was in the mountains, so it was not difficult to find some food. They didn't go far, and they saw all kinds of fungi in the mountain forest. Both Fuling and Jingxin were Experts, naturally won't worry about picking poisonous mushrooms.

"What do you think is that?" Jingxin looked at the sea of ​​beautiful and charming flowers and said.

Poria looked in the direction Jingxin pointed, the sea of ​​flowers was very gorgeous, and at this time it still attracted the nearby bees to gather honey.

"My God, that, those are poppies. I, I heard from my master that these things are harmful to people. If the government didn't allow it, no one would dare to plant such a large field of poppies here." When Fuling saw clearly When I was there, I was also surprised.

"What should we do? If we destroy this large area, we have to leave this mountain immediately, or we will die miserably!" Jingxin was a little hesitant.

But let them see it and ignore it, that's even more impossible.

"Mingyue, let's go back and cook first, and then deal with these harmful things after breakfast." Fu Ling thought over and over again, feeling that she must fill her stomach before she can have the energy to deal with other things.

Jingxin also felt that what Fuling said was reasonable, so she followed Fuling back to the cave, had a simple breakfast, and then turned back, looking at the poppies in full swing all over the mountains and plains, Jingxin was indeed a little worried.

"I didn't expect that they planted these evil things here. I only know that there is a royal garden not far from the imperial city, which is also full of such coquettish poppies. Everyone hates it when they look at it. But since it’s hard to do it, I can only let them bloom there wantonly.” Xiaoshu suddenly remembered that she had seen this kind of flowers in a suburban garden.

Hearing this, Jingxin's face was startled, and she said lightly: "I don't believe that they plant these things only for curing diseases and saving lives, there must be some secrets!"

"Yes, the guards there are extremely strict. It seems that these things are a lot of wealth. Those high-ranking officials regard poppies as treasures. We must destroy them, or they may endanger the entire continent!" Xiao Shu nodded. , Agree with Jingxin's opinion.

"Let's burn them, that's the only way we can get rid of them, but we don't know the way in this mountain, and it will be very difficult to escape!" Xiaoqing looked embarrassed.

"That's true. As soon as this fire ignites, our target will be exposed, and it is very likely that we will be caught directly by others. After all, we are not familiar with the terrain here, and it is even more difficult to distinguish between east, west, and north in a hurry. Dangerous." Jingxin was also in a dilemma for a while.

"We can't take care of that much anymore. You go find some dry grass and dry branches, and then I will be in charge of lighting the fire. You first retreat to the intersection over there and wait for me. Let's flee north together. There is a river over there, so we can save ourselves. Fu Ling thought about it, and finally decided to take the risk.

The other three nodded their heads, agreeing with Fu Ling's suggestion.They quickly picked up dry firewood and hay, and then all retreated to the intersection 100 meters away. Only Poria was 50 meters away. She took out a self-made crossbow, lit a small torch, and shot directly at the pile of dry firewood. .

"Whoosh! Boom!" Dry firewood meets a raging fire, and it ignites at the touch of a touch.

"Okay, retreat quickly, it will be too late!" Jingxin directed several people to retreat.
