Liu Biao looked around with a smile and continued, "So I'm going to make a bold guess. Everyone wants to hear what you plan to do next. After all, the bandits are still there. How should we go and what arrangements are safest?"

The words woke up a group of people. The refugees who were watching nodded in agreement, and their attention turned to Jiang Xiaohua.

Jiang Xiaohua knew very well that she could not sit back and relax after repelling the bandits tonight.

She pondered, "Although the mountain bandits are afraid to take action for the time being due to the threat of wolves, there is no guarantee that they will come back and come back."

"Especially since one of their leaders and four minions died, they are likely to take revenge."

The refugees looked at each other, looking a little nervous.

Although Jiang Xiaohua killed the leader alone, almost everyone present had a share in the other four dead men, as well as the injured bandits who escaped.

Liu Biao is the only handler in the village. He often goes to the city to get work, and he is quite knowledgeable.

He sighed and said, "The bandits didn't take us seriously this time. They underestimated the enemy, and that's why we had this narrow escape. If the bandits come again prepared, everyone will die!"

Jiang Xiaohua took over, "So the simplest and most effective way is to leave the mountain as soon as possible."

"According to my plan, if we don't waste time, we can reach the summit tomorrow evening."

"As the saying goes, it is easier to go up the mountain than to go down, but I heard that the north slope of this mountain is easier to walk than the south slope. There is a flat road halfway up the mountain. The walking should be much faster than when we went up the mountain."

"It takes up to three days to reach the border of the Central Plains."

These are all deduced by Jiang Xiaohua based on the information she learned from Uncle Liu Er, combined with what she learned in her previous life.

But everyone saw the hope of survival, and everyone smiled:

"It only takes three days to get out, so there will be no problem!"

"That's right, you'll be safe in three days!"

Jiang Xiaohua looked serious and reminded, "However, there are also factors such as climate and man-made factors during the journey."

"The time I mentioned may be just an estimate."

What she means is that ugly words come first and blind optimism is prohibited.

But after tonight's fight against bandits, this group of refugees has reached an unprecedented unity.

Everyone's fighting spirit was high and they rushed to express their opinions, "My family can keep up and will never be held back!"

"My old man is not afraid even if he can't walk. It's the same as walking on his back!"

"So many people are still alive today, which means God won't accept us! We can definitely help each other!"

Even those who joined midway in the first two days were infected and expressed their desire to unite and go on together.

Jiang Xiaohua clapped her hands, waited for everyone to calm down, and said with a smile, "Seeing how motivated everyone is, I feel inspired to boost my morale. Then it's settled."

"We will set off at first light tomorrow morning. Everyone, please go back and rest more to regain your energy!"

Four little cubs kept surrounding Li Yuanzhi to look at the stitches.

By the time everyone had dispersed, the moon had just climbed onto the treetops.

Liu Ming then asked, "Since it is such a good thing, why doesn't Mr. Li get more of it?"

"How can it be so easy?" Li Yuanzhi explained, "First of all, the sheep intestines need to be dismantled and sorted. Sometimes it takes hundreds of pieces to make one or two usable ones."

"Secondly," he said with a smile, "I am a scholar, and being a doctor is just my hobby. I didn't make money from this."

Jiang Xiaohua shook her head and sighed, "You have so many hobbies in your spare time, why don't you let others live?"

Li Yuanzhi turned to her and narrowed his eyes, "To each other."

Before dawn the next day, Jiang Xiaohua opened her eyes.

Li Yuanzhi was sitting next to the fire adding firewood. When he heard the movement, he turned around and said with a smile, "Why did you wake up on your own? I also said I would call you later."

Jiang Xiaohua stood up quickly and said, "I like to sleep in, but that's when I have free time."

When marching in a hurry or going on a mission, the biological clock in her body is more accurate than anything else.

Jiang Xiaohua handed several water bags to Li Yuanzhi, "Go and get some water."

At this time, every household also got up, fetching water, cooking, and going back and forth in a lively manner.

The partridges that were stewed last night were placed on the fire with the pot rack until boiling.

Jiang Xiaohua immediately woke up the four little Doudings, "You can eat after you finish washing up."

She put the soup and meat into the bowl, and the juicy partridge meat was just right for each person.

Jiang Xiaohua took the iron pot to the stream to wash it clean, and poured the water in the water bag into it to boil.

Then she extinguished the fire and poured some water into the fire in order not to leave a wildfire hazard.

After doing this, the temperature of the stewed partridge meat will be just right in your mouth.

Jiang Xiaohua was eating and said, "We have finished eating, and the water is almost dry. I will fill it with water, and you pack your things. We must leave at dawn."

Liu Yong witnessed the whole busy process of Jiang Xiaohua this morning and couldn't help but admire him from the bottom of his heart.

"Going back and forth so non-stop, arranging so many things at the same time, stacking them up one after another, but not messing up at all, how do you do it?"

Jiang Xiaohua said, "This is called a coordinated approach."

"For example, if you want to boil Chinese medicine, it includes three steps: soaking the medicinal materials, making a fire, and boiling the medicine."

"Because it takes time to soak the medicinal materials, you can soak them first, and then use the time to wait for them to soak, then add firewood and light a fire. When the fire is lit, the medicine will be soaked, and you can just put it on the fire to simmer."

"The same principle applies to things that are more complex and have more procedures."

Liu Yong said thoughtfully, "That means planning in advance, what to do first, and what to do later."

"Yes." Jiang Xiaohua nodded, waved her hand and said, "Eat quickly."

Liu Yong thought to himself, why didn't he realize that his stepmother knew so much in the past?

At dawn, everyone set out as scheduled, no one was dragging their feet.

Although he was in a hurry, Li Yuanzhi's primary school was still open.

He teaches poetry and songs to children, but there is no limit to the number of participants. Anyone, whether adults or children, wants to join.

This was the trick Jiang Xiaohua gave Li Yuanzhi before going to bed last night.

Facts have proved that such a morale-boosting effect is quite good.

With everyone talking, singing and chatting like this, it feels like time passes faster than walking around in silence.

In the evening, just in time for the last ray of sunset to disappear into the sky.

The refugees finally reached the highest point of the mountain.

Although they no longer have the energy to cheer, the smiles on most people's faces are enough to explain their mood at the moment.

Jiang Xiaohua said, "It's the coldest on the top of the mountain. Everyone sleeps next to the fire tonight. Everyone in the family huddles together to keep each other warm. Don't get frozen."

Xu and Zhang Dabao were slumped on the ground, breathing heavily.

The couple were both notoriously indolent, and they had quite a few objections to such a plan to hurry up.

After driving away quickly and slowly for a whole day, Xu had already accumulated a lot of evil fire.
