Cheng Ling smashed through the iron pot, then walked along the stream for about 50 meters.

The location was not bad. There was a relatively flat gravel ground by the stream, and the shrubs beside it were relatively low. It had a certain degree of concealment, but it would not hinder the view too much, not to mention, it was also convenient to move around.

Cheng Ling stopped at this position, and the others quickly followed.

Mu Sanniang glanced around and ordered Cheng Erni to pick up a few stones to build a stove. She also asked Cheng Dani to pick up some dead branches nearby to make firewood.

She unloaded a few baskets filled with wolf meat and prepared to wash them by the stream.

In short, they just had to make the best use of their time to work. As for resting and gasping for breath, this kind of good thing didn’t suit their current state.

Hong Guangyi also carried Shi Hong and followed them. He chose a relatively dry and refreshing place, took off his tattered outer garment, and placed Shi Hong on it.

Then, he helplessly watched Muu and the others while they worked.

The two children behind him were very obedient. They didn’t even need Hong Guangyi’s instructions and went to pick up the firewood on their own accord.

“Mother, bring some water to the shore to wash your hands. Don’t directly put your hands in the stream,” Cheng Ling said.

Mu immediately stopped what she was doing and asked, “Xiao Ling, what are you doing?”

“Mother, this is a mountain stream on the mountain, not the kind of river that people usually move around in our village,” Cheng Ling said. We’re not familiar with the situation in the water, so it’s better to be careful. ”

The logic behind these words was very common, but not everyone had such carefulness and cautiousness. Mu Sanniang was reminded and a smile appeared on her face. Obviously, she enjoyed Cheng Ling’s attentiveness.

“Don’t worry!” She replied quickly. “Mother knows.”

So she turned around and took out a clay pot from her bag. Then she returned to the stream, used the clay pot to scoop water, and began washing the wolf meat.

As the few of them busied themselves, Cheng Ling assessed the situation. After confirming that there was no imminent danger in the surroundings for the time being, she came to Shi Hong’s side.

Shi Hong’s wound still needed to be treated further. Cheng Ling squatted down and took out a small bottle of saline from her space under the cover of her satchel.

She held the small, soft-shelled saline bottle tightly in her hand. Cheng Ling pushed the cap open with one finger and said to Hong Guangyi, “Go start a fire and boil a can of water. I’ll take care of this.”

Hong Guangyi didn’t know what to do. Hearing Cheng Ling’s order, he heaved a sigh of relief and said gratefully, “Yes, thank you, benefactor!”

My benefactor…

Cheng Ling’s face revealed a strange expression that was hard to describe in words. Today, she was really happy to be called all kinds of names, such as warrior, hero, swordsman… Hey, even her benefactor came out.

She let out a breath and smiled. “My name is Cheng Ling. Big Brother Hong, you can just call me by my name.”

Hong Guangyi was overwhelmed by the ‘Big Brother Hong’ and even panicked. He quickly waved his hand and said, “I’m flattered, I’m flattered, I …”

He scratched his head, then cupped his hands and bowed to Cheng Ling.

With that said, she quickly ran to the place where Cheng Erni had built the stove.

Cheng Ling sent him away and turned to look at him again. Only then did she have the time to examine Shi Hong’s wound carefully.

The wound was very dirty, so it needed to be washed with saline first and then disinfected.

As for suturing, Cheng Ling knew how to perform basic sutures, but it wasn’t convenient for her to do it right now.

Most importantly, Cheng Ling’s resources were limited. She could lend a helping hand to someone she had just met, but she couldn’t do it without holding back.

There were too many unpredictable dangers on the road to escape, and if others used the resources in the space, they could not be regenerated.

Cheng Ling still had to think about Mu Sanniang and her two sisters. She had inherited the original owner’s body and feelings, so she had to bear the original owner’s responsibility. She had to distinguish between her family and her two sisters.

In the end, Cheng Ling used half a bottle of saline to clean Shi Hong’s body.

She had a total of five bottles of this type of saline in her first aid kit. She would not dare to squander it without proper restocking.

Then, Cheng Ling used iodophor to disinfect Shi Hong’s wound. After that, she lightly applied a layer of Yunnan Baiyao powder on it and then bandaged his wound with a bandage.

Cheng Ling had done her best to do this. As for whether Shi Hong would be able to survive in such simple and crude conditions, it would depend on his own ability to resist and the will of heaven.

In this era where human lives were as worthless as grass, he only hoped that everyone could be a little more tenacious.

Cheng Ling stood up and saw that Mu Sanniang was halfway done cleaning the wolf meat. Hong Guangyi had already helped Cheng Erni build a simple stone stove and piled up dead branches and firewood under the stove.

These things weren’t difficult to do, so Cheng Ling didn’t care much. Thus, she picked a foot-high rock and sat on it. Then, she turned to the crowd and took out the two maps she had obtained earlier under the cover of her bag.

One was a map of Zhangjiakou, and the other was a map of my Merchant House!

Cheng Ling was a little excited. She had high expectations for these two maps.

In the original owner’s memory, she only knew that the country she was in was called Da Qi and the place she grew up was called Meihua village. Meihua village was under Lou County, which was under the control of Yunchuan Prefecture.

As for what the surrounding counties were, how big the country was, and if there were any other countries or governments around it, the original owner had no idea.

A commoner, other than being able to see his own land, how wide could his vision be?

The innate information conditions determined this, so the original owner couldn’t be blamed.

She had never gone out, and no one had ever told her what the world was like.

In fact, the number of people who knew about this problem in the surrounding villages could be counted on one hand, let alone the host who did not know anything.

Third Aunt Mu didn’t know either. She had received some education, but her vision was limited.

Therefore, from the flood of the Golden River to the entire village’s escape, to the road’s wandering, and finally to the border of Ping County with the escape team… Mu Sanniang and the others had come, but they were in fact confused about how they had come.

Even after they escaped from Ping County, they were at a loss as to where they would go after crossing this mountain.

During the time they stayed outside Ping County’s city gate, they had heard that there was another County on the other side of the mountain called Lu County.

But what was Lu County like?

Would Lu County be willing to accept refugees?

What’s the situation in Lu County?

However, no one knew about this.

Cheng Ling didn’t want to be blind. She wanted to expand her knowledge now.
