"You...... Sister Suzu!"

Considering that Zhu Ling had already left the Third Grid Realm, her identity might not be known to others, so Zhu Xiang changed her words after being surprised.

Zhu Ling is slightly older than her, and it is completely acceptable for her to be called so. ap.

Qi Xu was naturally surprised, she didn't expect Shen Huan to really get someone over, and looking at Zhu Ling's expression, she didn't seem to be upset, and the calmness on her face didn't seem to be fake.

What was even more surprising was the old man, who thought that Shen Huan's search for a lost friend was just an excuse, and they didn't hope that "the person who is more like Boss Jing than Zhu Xiang" would appear, but it turned out that Shen Huan was more carefully arranged than they imagined.

Seeing this, Qi Xu hurriedly followed Zhu Xiang's words and stepped forward.

"I've finally found you, so let's get ready to return!"

And Zhu Ling seemed to have been greeted in advance, patted the soil on her body and took her outstretched hand, and at the same time watched Zhu Xiang, who was eager to try but never move, also took the initiative to move towards her.

Seeing such a Zhu Ling, Zhu Xiang was stunned for a second, and then took her hand and made the action of turning back towards the thorn belt with the three of them.

"Wait!"

"Wait......

At this moment, three men and one woman hurried from the direction of the poplar forest, one of them looked slightly older, while the other two guys looked much younger.

The appearance of the four people looked very harmless, and in the case of being outnumbered, the four people brought by the old man were a little relaxed in their hearts, but only a little, after all, these three men and one woman came out from the opposite side of the poplar forest, and they were definitely not good.

"What's the matter?"

As the most familiar and oldest leader in Zhongsha District, Lao Geng must stand up to stop these people of suspicious origin.

"We're not bad people...... Seeing that several people were unanimously wary and repulsive towards them, the middle-aged woman among them said with a somewhat hurt expression but very helplessly, "I don't think you look local, but we weren't originally ...... We're stuck here for some reason, and we don't want to do anything to you, but can we ask you for a small favor?"

Qi Xu and Zhu Xiang and Zhu Ling unanimously showed unhappy expressions, and Shen Huan also frowned and didn't want to take care of it, just when Lao Geng was about to answer, he was preempted by Ah Jin.

"Then you can talk about it, but we are in a hurry to get back, and you had better not be too troublesome."

"No trouble, no trouble," the middle-aged woman in the middle of the ...... hurriedly waved her hand and congratulated, "We haven't been back to see our relatives for decades, and we just got the contact information of our relatives not long ago, but we don't have a contact tool to use...... But don't worry, I won't borrow your phone for too long, just to tell your relatives that you're safe......

"You've lived here for so many years, don't you know that the communication equipment you brought in from the outside world also has no signal? Find someone else, we're in a hurry......

"No," one of the young men quickly interjected, "as long as the new mobile phone has been released in the past two years, you can use it by entering a specific code!"

"It really only takes up a few minutes of your time," the middle-aged male added in an embarrassed whisper, "If we didn't have any income and no way to get a new phone, we wouldn't have begged you......

"Please, I know you're all good people......

Another young man, who hadn't spoken much, chimed in.

"Use mine."

Just when the rest of the people were thinking about how to refuse, Shen Huan suddenly spoke, took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket, flicked it a few times seemingly casually, and then handed it to the nearest middle-aged woman.

Obviously, his move was to make some confidentiality measures for the mobile phone in advance, so that the other party could not do anything other than dial and the so-called input code.

The woman immediately thanked and handed over the phone to one of the young people, and under Shen Huan's gaze, the young man seemed to really just enter a string of codes in the communication settings, and then entered it to dial under the woman's reminder

The number of –

It turned out to be the number of the southern country.

In fact, it is not surprising that the four of them may have heard a few people speaking Nanguo dialect before they appeared, and the four of them were also speaking standard Nanguo Chinese.

"Hey, is it Ming Xiaoxiao's phone?"

After the phone was connected, the middle-aged woman first asked tentatively, because it was turned on, so several people present could hear the voice of the other side clearly.

"I am, who are you?"

"I...... I am...... I'm Mingyi, that is, ...... Your aunt ......."

"Auntie? You made a mistake, I don't have an aunt......" The other party was saying when he was interrupted by a middle-aged male voice from far and near, "Wait Xiaoxiao, you said it was your aunt on the phone?"

"Oh, that's what she said......

"Give me the phone!"

So under the witness of everyone, the middle-aged woman and her husband told their relatives who had not seen each other for decades.

Although it was only less than seven minutes, although the conversation between the two parties sounded nothing abnormal, Shen Huan and the others who took the mobile phone did not let down their vigilance.

"Really...... Thank you so much for today!"

The middle-aged woman was very grateful, if it weren't for Ah Jin and her companions' quick eyes, she would probably have knelt down directly in front of a few people.

"It's fine."

Shen Huan waved his hand, and then threw a "ready to leave" look at the old man.

"It's time for us to go, so let's leave it if there's nothing to do!"

Lao Geng understood what he meant, and immediately led everyone to turn around and walk towards the thorns again.

"Wait a minute!"

The middle-aged woman shouted to everyone again, even though she was impatient from the faces of several people, she still mustered up the courage to say.

"You don't look like you're ordinary people...... I don't mean anything, it's just that it's still early, and you must be tired all the way over, and the place where we live is not far away, and it won't take you ten minutes to get there, so why don't you go to our place to rest and then set off?"

Lao Geng immediately replied with a somewhat warning tone.

"The poplar forest is the territory of the various camps in the Zhongsha District, we can understand that you have good intentions, but if you don't know, I'm afraid you will take revenge and deliberately lead us into the tiger's mouth!"

"No, no, no......" The middle-aged woman hurriedly waved her hand, "Our residence is still some distance away from those camps, how can we hurt our benefactor...... The main thing is that this girl doesn't seem to be in good shape, and I'm afraid it's a little embarrassing if she goes on the road so directly......

"I don't care."

Zhu Ling, who was pointed at by the middle-aged woman, let go of Qi Xu and Zhu Xiang's hands, raised their two arms and shook them without pressure.

"Or ...... Let's take a rest, you can't rest well in this wilderness, it's still early before the sun sets......

Seeing this, Qi Xu grabbed Zhu Ling's arm disapprovingly, and Zhu Xiang also made the same action.

"Yes, you can sit down and tell us what you have experienced during the time you haven't been there, Sister Ling, don't refuse......

"That...... Okay......

Facing Shen Huan's seemingly emotionless gaze, Zhu Ling knew that he was almost ready to start moving forward to the next step, so he nodded "reluctantly".

"Squeamish ......"

Although he knew that this was part of the plan that their group had originally set, but when he saw that Zhu Ling was clearly alive and well, he didn't insist much and accepted to go to the nearby four's residence to rest, Ah Jin still couldn't stop complaining, but he was immediately stopped by Lao Geng.

And such a scene also made the four of them even more convinced that Shen Huan and they were "fat sheep to be slaughtered".

As the middle-aged woman said, although their residence is located in Zhongsha District, it is more than ten minutes away from the nearest camp.

On the other side of the poplar forest, there are three forks leading to different camps, and along these three forks are dotted with mud houses and large and small pits that I don't know what to do

There are a few low trees standing here and there, but at first glance they look like wild trees that have not been tended to for a long time.

The middle-aged woman's residence is one of these mud houses, which from the outside looks like any other mud house, except that the furnishings inside look like the situation of ordinary people decades ago, a little shabby but at least neat.

On the other side of the traversal of the mud houses is a small courtyard surrounded by two mud houses and Xie Xue's fence, with the same rudimentary facilities, except for a stone building that looks like the mouth of a well, a stone mill and some daily farm tools.

"Let's sit down casually, and I'll get some drinks......

As she spoke, the middle-aged woman instructed the two young men to go to the neighbor's house to borrow some stools to sit on, while she and her husband went to the back room to boil water.

After about ten minutes, I saw her walking over with a kettle, several bowls and a small basket of sun-dried things that resembled weed rhizomes.

"This is a unique sweet leaf root in the Zhongsha area, if the explorer who has no water source in the desert is lucky enough to encounter the licophyll, as long as he refuses the stem, he can last for two more days, although there is not much water in it, but it has the effect of quenching thirst, and it is more thirst-quenching to soak in water and drink."

"Auntie knows a lot......

Several people have seen this plant for the first time, so they can't help but be curious to pick it up and observe, even the well-informed Zhu Xiang can't recognize its effect for a while, but it is certain that this grass root and this tea should not have been moved.

"Harm, it's just some experience that I have slowly explored to survive here, and I smiled......

The middle-aged woman was talking, and the middle-aged man who didn't want to come out of the house just waved at her, so she had to say "sorry" and go back to the house first.

"Well, can you drink this grassroots?"

Although several people were eager to try, after all, there was no guarantee, and no one dared to take risks, so they all set their eyes on Zhu Xiang, who seemed to be studying the medicinal properties of sweet leaves.

"Oh, wait a minute," Zhu Xiang took out the test strip he had with him to test the toxicity of ordinary ingested food, and said again after a few seconds, "It's okay to look at this grass root and water alone......

The kettle of the two younger men led by the elder had been exhausted, and when he heard this, he boldly threw the licoleaf grass into the bowl and drank it.

And Zhu Xiang and Shen Huan didn't move the things brought by the middle-aged woman for a long time, and Lao Geng and the other two also didn't move in confusion.
