The refugees were still moving forward when they saw Wang Daming approaching with his saber.
They immediately dispersed.
When this news reached Cheng Hao and Su Miaomiao, they were not surprised.
"The weather is really too dry. I can't stand it without drinking water for a while."
Su Miaomiao was being monitored by Cheng Hao daily to eat fruits for balanced nutrition and had been drinking water consistently. Apart from feeling a bit uncomfortable, she didn't feel any other discomfort in her body. However, if people were dehydrated for a long time, it would certainly not be good, so it was no wonder the refugees were restless.
Cheng Hao nodded in agreement. Looking at the night view outside, there was hardly any wind. Although the temperature was cooler than at noon, it was still hot.
"We need to tell the people below to drink more water, and we'll find a way to solve the water problem. But their identities are not fake; dehydration is a big problem."
As soon as Cheng Hao finished speaking, he saw Laifu passing by and called out to him.
Laifu was running around, busy helping Uncle Ji manage things, his head covered in sweat, his temples soaked, and his face flushed.
"Laifu? Come here, don't run so fast. Save your strength. Tell Uncle Ji to notify everyone that they should still drink the water they need. Other places can be saved, but not this drinking water. Health is important."
Laifu quickly agreed after hearing this. He grinned and said, "Your subordinate understands! Our caravan has always put health first, and other supplies second! Last year, you and the young madam also gave the same instructions, telling us not to save on food. We didn't starve afterwards, and our bodies weren't harmed!"
Cheng Hao nodded, smiled, and told him to go back to work, urging him not to rush too much.
Laifu smiled and agreed, then turned and walked back towards the crowd.
They were still used to calling the young couple "young master" and "young madam" and had not changed their address.
Cheng Hao and Su Miaomiao also felt that it was just a title and did not matter, so they let everyone call them as they wished without being particular.
After instructing Laifu.
Cai Shi and Xi Shi also quickly brought dried rations and some warm herbal tea.
The two of them cautioned the young couple to drink carefully.
When they informed them of the previous incident, Cheng Hao and Su Miaomiao indicated that they understood and reassured them that everything was under control.
The people in the caravan were not useless; they had some martial arts skills.
Cai Shi and Xi Shi felt more at ease, and smiled as they withdrew.
Cheng Hao then turned down the brightness of the lamps in the carriage and prepared a box of cold noodles for Su Miaomiao. The dry rations would be difficult for the couple to swallow, so they were kept in the space to be eaten later when there was nothing else, or given to others.
After Su Miaomiao fed Cheng Hao a bite, she began to eat herself. The relaxed feeling was very pleasant and appetizing, making her feel alive again.
Cheng Hao, mindful that there wasn't much left, didn't dare to eat much. He casually ate a box of bento, finished it quickly, and put the things away.
At this hour, everyone was eating, and there were fewer people moving around.
They were not afraid of being discovered.
They would only finish after they had filled their stomachs, and the herbal tea would be left to cool before drinking.
After eating and drinking, they waited to rest.
The next morning, as soon as it was early, the night shift personnel went to the carriage to catch up on sleep, while those who had slept enough had to get up and take their shifts.
They would set off again as soon as it was still cool before dawn.
The refugees had not slept soundly. Hearing the movement of the Cheng family's caravan setting off, they became anxious, but they were still groggy and reacted a beat slower. By the time they fully came to their senses, the vehicles were already moving away one by one.
They were already quite scared of such behemoths, let alone the moving carriages. They hesitated to approach them, how could they dare to get close?
They had originally planned to find a way to pester these wealthy people the next day, but unexpectedly, they left directly, leaving them all a bit stunned.
