He took out an ax from the box and stamped the dead wood into several pieces. After leaving enough wood for cooking, he put the rest on the cart.

At noon, the group simply ate steamed buns, rested for a while, and then started on their way again.

Walk until sunset.

As they got closer and closer to the depths of the forest, the air around them became colder and colder.

When it blows on people, they can't help but shiver.

But there was flat ground all around, and there was no cover at all.

Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, Su Nanxing only found a higher ground before asking everyone to stop and reorganize on the spot.

Everyone was very conscious and went to find work independently without Su Nanxing's advice.

Three soldiers teamed up to find more dead branches nearby.

The weather was so cold at night, and if the fire could not be kept burning all night, Mrs. Wei and the other women would be frozen in the morning.

What's more, Mrs. Wei's heart is not good.

The remaining two soldiers and other servants were clearing the snow on the spot. After making a large enough space, everyone helped spread sleeping mats.

The mat forms a circle around it, leaving a space in the middle.

Su Nanxing moved the dead wood on the cart to the free space in the middle, then took out a folding bag and lit it.

Siyue and Rufeng held swords in their hands and moved around the resting place to prevent refugees from approaching.

And this approach does work.

Those people are eyeing this side.

But because of the sword, no one dared to come up.

Some of the refugees were shivering because they had endured the freezing night.

Some people have some skills, and they also go to pick up some dead wood nearby and drill it to make fire.

But none of these evacuated refugees is cause for concern.

Su Nanxing discovered that many of the refugees stayed together in groups.

Only individuals who don't have any supplies on them are left alone.

She can only ask everyone to be more vigilant.

The refugees at this time are even more crazy. They will do anything to eat and survive.

Fortunately, apart from Bai Wen, Hua Yongxing and the three maids, everyone else had swords on them.

Even Wei Haidong, who didn't know how to box or kick, was given Xiu Jian by Su Nanxing so that he could save his life at critical moments.

The servant Su Nanxing gave me a machete that was light and easy to use.

The people brought by Ming Xibao seemed to be all from the Lian family, and everyone carried a long sword.

It was only Su Nanxing's first day out of the city, and he felt that there was really a crisis outside.

If almost all of them hadn't been equipped with swords, they would have been robbed long ago.

The new magistrate was also lucky and had someone to escort him, so he arrived at Ningfan City safely.

This person is an extremely important spy for the emperor and Concubine Ming.

Naturally, there must be heavy troops to guard it.

After those heavy soldiers arrived at Ningfan City, Wei Haidong didn't even let those people in through the city gate, but forcefully sent them out of the city gate.

The reason is that the plague in the city is serious and may affect everyone.

After the fire is lit.

Xiao Yu helped Bai Wen sit over, "Madam, you are afraid of the cold. It's so cold outside, Madam, you have to sit closer to warm yourself."

Bai Wen nodded without saying a word, and was silently helped by Xiao Yu to sit on the cushion next to the fire.

After Xiaoyu saw it, she felt very uncomfortable.

Her hands hidden in her sleeves were clenched into fists.

Madam used to treat them like sisters. They also grew up together and their relationship was extremely close.

Even if Mr. Wei resigned some time ago.

He also kept all three of them.

But at the beginning, she was just worried that Mr. Wei, a normal young man, would be seduced by other vixens instead of the frail lady. A kind heart, but in exchange for a lot of blame.

He had to kneel outside the courtyard and kowtow to admit his mistake. He knelt for three whole days before his wife and the master relented and were willing to keep him.

No matter how unwilling she was, she didn't show it on her face.

Instead, he smiled and said: "Madam is waiting here, and I will go get some food for Madam."

She rummaged through her luggage on the trolley and took out a few steamed buns. She saw that Ming Xibao actually had biltong. She reached over, secretly grabbed a small piece and hid it on her body.

When she turned around, she was startled when she saw Su Nanxing standing behind her.

"Are you a ghost? You can't even make a sound when you walk. It's really scary."

Su Nanxing looked at the other party with a half-smile, "Why, have you done something bad to make people look like ghosts?"

Xiaoyu was speechless for a moment, then angrily picked up the water bag and walked away, bumping Su Nanxing's shoulder hard as he walked, "I think you look like that ghost!"

Bai Wen saw Xiao Yu coming back with an angry face, and finally asked, "Xiao Yu, what happened?"

"It's okay, ma'am."

Xiaoyu slowed down her expression.

She silently buried the water bag in the soil next to the fire, and placed the hard buns in her hands on a clean stone to bake.

Bai Wen pursed his lips.

Turning her head away, she realized that this maid seemed to be separated from her.

the other side.

Su Nanxing took out another pot and three vegetables from the box.

In fact, these are all taken from space.

Mother Su packed a lot of things for her, so she packed them in a large wooden box, put it on the cart, and locked it.

But in the eyes of others, Su Nanxing just took it out of the box.

She also got some salt and a small jar of oil.

On such a cold day, it is natural to drink some hot soup to feel comfortable.

She called Hua Yongxing over, "Can you cook?"

Hua Yongxing nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, master, what do you want to eat?"

"Cook some hot soup for everyone to drink and warm themselves up."

Su Nanxing handed all the materials in his hand to the other party. Hua Yongxing took them and went to build a simple wooden shelf next to the fire and put the pot on it.

Fortunately, these cauliflowers look very clean and have not been washed.

Su Nanxing took out two large water bags from the box and poured all the water into the pot.

After Xiaoyu saw it, she muttered in a low voice, "This water is precious, and you're just going to pour it out just because you just say it?"

Su Nanxing's ears were very good, so she naturally heard it. She turned to look at him, "Then don't drink."

Xiao Yu stood up and said, "Who cares about your things?"

She picked up the freshly heated buns and handed them to Bai Wen.

Bai Wen did not take it immediately, but scolded Xiao Yu with a frown, "Xiao Yu, why did you talk to Mr. Su? Go and apologize!"

Xiaoyu opened her mouth to defend herself.

Bai Wen had spoken again, and she insisted, "Apologise!"

This place is so big, many people in the team suddenly stopped and looked here.

Xiaoyu's face turned red with embarrassment after being stared at by so many people. She reluctantly walked up to Su Nanxing and said, "I'm sorry."

Her voice was low, almost at the bottom of her throat.

Su Nanxing raised an eyebrow and looked at her, "The voice is too soft, I can't hear it."

Xiaoyu clutched the hem of her skirt tightly with both hands and said in a slightly louder voice, "I'm sorry! That's enough now!"

Su Nanxing shrugged, "What if I don't say enough?"

"Don't be too pushy!"
