Chapter 1351 Famine and Natural Disaster 510
After a conversation, both sides felt relieved.

At this time, Chunmei came over with tea and served a cup to each person; some snacks and fruits were also served, and two plates were placed on the small table next to the Ning family.

Mingyi accompanied the Ning family to eat some snacks. Seeing that they looked tired, she looked up and called Chunmei.

"Take Mr. Ning and his family to the house on the left to settle down. Old man, you can rest first. If you need anything, just tell Chunmei. Pingyangguan has it and will do its best to satisfy you."

"I would like to thank Madam Cheng in advance."

"You're being polite. It's my duty. You brought your family here to help. No one should suffer any loss, but you and your family will not."

I personally escorted the old man out, showing great courtesy.

When you invite a family to work, you should show the right attitude. In ancient times, people had clear distinctions between high and low, and there were still human feelings outside the law. If you treat them with extra courtesy, it will make them feel grateful and willing to work. Isn't it good?
"Master, you have been worried about the canal excavation problem before Mr. Ning and his family came. Now that Mr. Ning and his family are here, you can finally rest assured."

Chunmei followed beside him and spoke in a low voice.

"It's a little early to be relieved. Let's wait and see." It's impossible to be relieved when things are not decided yet. "I plan to go into the mountains with Grandpa Ning and the others."

Chunmei was horrified, "No! Master, not many people go into the deep mountains of Pingyang Pass, and there are many poisonous snakes and ferocious beasts in the mountains."

"I have made up my mind, no need to persuade me."

"Master, the mountains are too dangerous!"

Mingyi looked at Chunmei's worried face and said, "In troubled times, where is there no danger? There are many poisonous snakes and fierce beasts in the mountains. I will bring more detoxification powder and 100-poison powder. Can they be more poisonous than my 100-poison powder?"

Chunmei:.
What the master said is right.

She had seen the Hundred Poison Powder before, and it was really poisonous; even the poisonous insects and poisonous Gu of the Gu Masters of Ningguo could not survive the Hundred Poison Powder, which could be said to be the nemesis of the Gu Masters of Ningguo. The poisonous snakes and beasts in the mountains were nothing compared to the Hundred Poison Powder.

After figuring it out, Chunmei asked quietly, "Master, you didn't bring much Hundred Poison Powder and Detoxification Powder this time."

"Do more before we go into the mountains." He turned and walked towards the house, not forgetting to instruct Chunmei, "Send more medicinal herbs over."

"Here."

Chunmei turned around and looked for the young general who was in charge of the army's logistics, and brought back several portions of various medicinal herbs.

Mingyi soaked in the pile of medicinal materials and made many pills and powders. Among them, the most made were the Hundred Poison Powder and the Detoxification Powder; followed by the Ningxin Pills for clearing the mind and calming the spirit, and the Quxie Pills for preventing miasma.

The Ning family rested for three days, regained their energy, and took the initiative to look for Mingyi.

Only Mr. Ning and his eldest son Ning Qing came this time.

"Madam Cheng, I am old and weak. I have made you wait for three more days. I have really delayed your business."

Mingyi saw the shame and guilt on Mr. Ning's face and smiled, "Mr. Ning, your health is very important. You should take a rest. Don't worry about it."

"I'm so ashamed." Old Master Ning smiled apologetically.

It's really embarrassing to look at.

Mingyi said: "Take care of yourself, old man."

"Thank you for your concern. I have rested well and can set off at any time. I don't know when I can set off, but the sooner I can check the terrain, the sooner I can build the canal." Old Master Ning smiled kindly, "I am really sorry that you have delayed me for a few days."

"Did you really have a good rest?" Mingyi asked with concern.

Old Master Ning was very pleased with her respect. "Rest well, Madam Cheng, just give me your instructions."

"Well, how about setting off tomorrow?"

"Okay, tomorrow then." Mr. Ning's brows relaxed, and the heavy pressure in his heart was slightly relieved. "When do we leave tomorrow?"

Mingyi said: "We will set out at 11:00 a.m. and it will be almost dawn when we enter the mountain."

In spring, the days are short and the nights are long, and it usually takes until 2:30 pm for daybreak to arrive.

"Okay, see you tomorrow. I'll take my leave now." "Goodbye, old man. Goodbye, Mr. Ning."

After seeing off the two Nings, Mingyi turned to Chunmei and said, "Prepare some dry food. Prepare some dry food for Old Man Ning and the others as well."

"Okay, Master, I'll be ready."

Chunmei spent half the afternoon busy preparing a large bag of dry food and boiled water, and put the boiled water into water bags, a total of six water bags; each person took a water bag with them when they went into the mountains, and the guards who accompanied them were required to prepare their own food.

Vertical sun.

At the end of the Yin hour, dusk fell. Mingyi got up to practice martial arts, and then washed and changed clothes.

After everything was packed up and breakfast was over, the Ning family's grandfather and others came over, supporting the old man.

Wiping his mouth with a handkerchief, he said, "Chunmei, take care of the yard."

"Okay, master, please be careful when you travel." Chunmei reminded him worriedly.

Mingyi nodded, "I see. I left two guards for you. Ask them to do anything you need."

A girl left alone must be given a few more instructions.

"Yes, I will remember my master's words."

Chunmei saw them off to the carriage and placed the prepared dry food and water bags into the carriage. After watching the carriage go away, she returned to the yard with the two guards who stayed behind.

On the carriage.

Old Master Ning and Mingyi were in one carriage, while the two Ning brothers and the eldest grandson were in the second carriage; there were fifteen guards on horseback following the carriages.

All the way east.

When they reached the foot of the densely forested mountain, the group had to get off the carriage and walk.

Mingyi carried two water bags and gave the large bag of dry food to the guards to carry.

The remaining water bags were distributed, one to the old man, one to each of the two sons of the Ning family, and one to the eldest grandson of the Ning family.

The guards all carried water bags with them and filled them with water every day, so Chunmei did not prepare any for them.

"Up the mountain."

Ming Yi gave an order and the guards surrounded them and headed up the mountain.

When climbing halfway up the mountain, Mingyi saw that the vegetation ahead was extremely lush and there was no path to walk on. It was obvious that this forest had been deserted for a long time and there was no place to step.

"Madam Cheng, the grass is too lush. Please wait a moment. I will have someone cut it before you leave." Guard Yu stepped forward to stop Mingyi.

Madam Cheng is the apple of the Crown Prince's eye. When the Crown Prince is with her, he never lets her set foot in these places; he doesn't even let her do dangerous things. Even when he is on a campaign, he takes good care of her.

If he doesn't protect her well, the prince will kill him.

Cheng Mingyi stopped and pulled Mr. Ning beside him, "Then wait a minute, let's sit down and rest for a while, let the guards be busy first."

Looking up at the sky, it's almost noon.

In other words, it took them three hours to leave their home and reach the mountainside.

"It's getting late, let's get some dry food before we continue walking."

"Okay, that's just right, I can take a break for my old bones." The energy he had been holding up all the way suddenly dissipated a little, and he simply sat down on the ground; after all, it was just grass, and he wouldn't get dirty by sitting down.

Old Master Ning patted his legs gently to relieve the fatigue from walking.

The eldest brother Ning Qing and the second brother Ning Ru sat beside him, patting his shoulders and back.
