The Fierce Farm Girl Has A Secret Space

"Able." Shadow Three nodded. Although his face was pale, his spirit seemed relatively good. "With the ginseng from Sister-in-law, I won't die." Back then, Yang Ruxin had prepared a backpack for everyone, which contained various medicines, some non-perishable food, and a piece of hundred-year ginseng for each person.

This time, Big Brother led a small group deep into the Yuan Country Royal Court to rescue Peng Jing. Although the rescue was successful, on the way back they were ambushed and lost their way. If not for the supplies in their backpacks, they'd probably all be dead by now.

Gu Qingheng nodded and then determined the direction. "This way."

"Water... I need water..." Peng Jing, who was being carried on someone's back, suddenly cried out.

Shadow One, Gu Qiao, glanced at Gu Qingheng. They had nearly run out of water, with only a small portion left in their last water pouch.

Gu Qingheng handed over the water pouch.

The original intention was to let her take a sip, but the girl suddenly snatched the pouch and began gulping down the water furiously.

Gu Qiao frowned and swiftly took it back. This was the last bit of water they had, and with no idea when they'd find their way out, if she drank it all, they'd all be doomed.

"You unruly creature!" Peng Jing sat in the sand and screamed. "Are you looking to die? Do you believe I can have someone cut down this lowly scum like you? You..."

"If you keep shouting, I'll leave you here." Gu Qingheng abruptly shouted, his voice sharp. "If you die, no one would blame me anyway."

"You..." Peng Jing was momentarily speechless, but a sense of grievance crept in. "You're being harsh to me? My grandfather is a hero..."

"Don't disgrace General Peng's name." Gu Qingheng dismissed her coldly. To be honest, if it weren't out of respect for General Peng, he wouldn't bother with her life or death. For her sake, two of the guards they brought were killed, and even the skilled Shadow Guards were injured. Yet this woman dared to insult them as lowly scum. Truly... if it weren't unthinkable, he'd have the urge to strangle this woman.

The others ignored Peng Jing entirely and set off again.

Peng Jing was genuinely terrified. She had been abducted into the mountains along the way. Fortunately, the captors, planning to present her to the Yuan Country King, had not harmed her. Later, she was transported to the Royal Court, where, luckily, the king was said to be ill and hadn't touched her for the time being. Otherwise...

If she were abandoned now, it would be a certain death.

"Wait for me!" Peng Jing hurriedly caught up. There were some horses walking alongside them, and she desperately wanted to ride one, but the man stubbornly refused. She had no choice but to walk.

She didn't know how long they had been walking. The sun was already nearing the horizon.

Suddenly, Shadow Six, Gu Ning, who had been supporting Shadow Three, stumbled and fell to the ground.

"Old Six?" Shadow Three called out urgently.

Gu Qingheng quickly turned back and found Shadow Six's lips cracked, likely from severe dehydration.

Only then did everyone realize, from the moment they got lost, Shadow Six hadn't had a drink of water. He had even given away his share to others.

Gu Qiao hurriedly handed over the water pouch.

Gu Qingheng took it and gave him a bit to drink.

"Big Brother, don't worry about me, you guys..."

"Cut the nonsense." Gu Qingheng interrupted harshly, even swearing. "As long as there's breath in your body, I won't leave any one of you behind."

Gu Qiao also brought over the ginseng. "Take a bite."

"But..." Gu Ning hesitated.
