Female Supreme: Population is in crisis, I have a fruit-bearing tree

Su Qinghe took Qin Anmin to find a big rock to sit down, and they chatted idly, and from time to time someone came to get close to them.

It was almost three quarters past noon when more people came up the mountain. They waited for a while and luckily everyone had arrived.

Su Qinghe took a rough look and found that there were many more people than those who came to the banquet she attended that day.

"Everyone!" At this time, Luo Pin was standing in front and shouting loudly.

Everyone stopped talking and waited quietly for her next words.

"Now that everyone is here and the sun is getting late, shall we set off now?"

"Hurry up, hurry up, pack your bags. If we walk quickly, we can rest in the pavilion ahead."

She seemed to be talking to everyone in a negotiating tone, but in fact she had already called the people she brought with her, took the food and went up the mountain, with no intention of waiting for everyone.

Those who had arrived a long time ago were fine, but some who had just arrived had to follow the main group even if they were reluctant to rest.

Since they all agreed, they would naturally not go down the mountain halfway. The food and drinks were all with Luo Pinzheng, so they naturally could not be left alone.

Although everyone was dissatisfied, they could do nothing about it. Su Qinghe and Qin Anmin looked at each other, and hurriedly packed up their things to catch up with the team.

Lingyan Mountain belongs to the Ziyunling Range. This road, built with government funds, is the only way to get up the mountain.

These officials and wealthy businessmen had only come to Lingyan Temple to burn incense before and had never walked up the mountain, so when they first started climbing, they were all curious.

Because there were so many people, we were able to chat and laugh along the way and felt quite comfortable.

However, this good state did not last long. The mountain road was rugged and after only an hour, sighs were heard among the team.

Gradually the overall speed slowed down and became sluggish. The originally large team was divided into several groups, which were sparsely hanging at the back.

Qin Anmin was still full of energy, but she did not rush to the front. Instead, she was pulled by Su Qinghe and mixed in the middle of the team, walking slowly all the way.

Luo Pinzheng was always at the front, occasionally stopping to wait for the people behind him.

She kept saying words of encouragement and comfort, but she still urged everyone to speed up and had no intention of stopping to rest.

She was not afraid that the people behind her would go down the mountain halfway, because there were also palace soldiers at the end.

After another half an hour, I finally saw a large square pavilion in front of me.

Luo Pinzheng shouted to the people behind him.

"Everyone, keep working hard. There is a resting pavilion not far ahead. If we arrive early, we can rest longer!"

As the team was sparse, her words could not be heard far away, so she asked the people in front to pass the message on to the back.

When the news spread among the crowd, everyone felt relieved and quickened their pace, wanting to rest early.

However, when they arrived at the pavilion, they found that there were already some people sitting inside, and there was even a stove in front of them.

"What's going on?" Looking at the steaming pot, someone couldn't help swallowing.

Luo Pinzheng explained with a smile: "Don't worry, everyone. I arranged this in advance. I thought it would be not far from the foot of the mountain, so I could cook some hot food for everyone."

"Because the mountain road is steep, we kept everything simple to save time, so everyone won't be able to eat hot food later."

"Everyone hurry up and finish your meal and have a good rest. We will set off again in half an hour."

After hearing this, everyone felt much better, and the resentment they had from climbing the mountain just now also dissipated a little.

"Lord Luo is so thoughtful! He thinks so much about us."

The group of people were very satisfied with Luo Pinzheng's arrangement and took the opportunity to flatter him.

Luo Pinzheng smiled and made a few polite remarks, then told the person who was cooking the broth to serve the soup to everyone.

Bowls were distributed one by one. Due to limited conditions, everyone held their bowls and sat down at random places around the pavilion.

Su Qinghe and Qin Anmin also found a corner to rest, waiting for the person carrying the soup pot to come over to them.

At this time, several soldiers came over with tea and snacks and distributed them to everyone one by one.

"That's pretty much it."

Looking at the food in their hands, the group of plump and frail women looked much better.

Luo Pinzheng was still a good person and the food and drinks he prepared for them were all the best.

After trying it lightly, a group of people started to drink the soup with immersion.

Most of them have lived a life of luxury and have never experienced such fatigue as today.

After climbing for a while, I was already starving, and now I was so tired that I didn't even want to say a word.

Eat the broth with snacks and dried meat.

Since the broth was cooked in advance, it had already been cooked and cooled for a while when they came up.

So now the temperature of the food in everyone’s bowl is just right, and everyone can drink it without any pressure.

Seeing that everyone was eating so happily, Qin Anmin looked forward to it. His eyes followed the person carrying the pot, hoping that she could come to them sooner.

"We should have rushed to the front earlier. If we were there, I would have finished a bowl of soup by now!"

Qin Anmin regretted it so much that he patted Su Qinghe's thigh and blamed her for hanging her in the middle.

She is full of energy, but gets hungry quickly, and she can't stand being hungry the most!

Su Qinghe shook her head in amusement and untied the bag on her back. "I have some pears here, do you want to eat them first?"

Qin Anmin turned his head when he heard it. "Yes, yes! I'm starving!"

She snatched the big pear from Su Qinghe's hand and just as she brought it to her mouth, she stopped immediately.

She looked at Su Qinghe hesitantly. "Sister-in-law, do you have any more? How about we each take half?"

Because Luo Pinzheng said he would bring food for them, she didn't bring much with her. The little food in her followers' bag had been eaten up by her halfway up the mountain. At this time, she relied entirely on Luo Pinzheng for food.

Seeing her wanting to eat but struggling, Su Qinghe smiled and took out another pear from her bag, "Eat it with confidence. I brought a lot."

Hearing this, Qin Anmin grinned instantly, said thank you, opened his mouth wide and started to eat.

After she had eaten the pear until only the core was left, she finally walked up to Su Qinghe and Qin Anmin with the pot.

"You two adults have been waiting for a long time."

The palace soldier obviously knew Qin Anmin's identity. He scooped the soup spoon to the bottom and scooped up a full spoonful of meat, followed by the second spoonful of soup.

Su Qinghe also benefited from this and got a big bowl full of meat.

"Hehe, if you follow me, you'll have meat to eat."

Qin Anmin smiled proudly, picked up the chopsticks and started showing off the meat in the bowl.

"Yes, yes, follow Sister Qin and you'll have meat to eat!"

Su Qinghe followed her words and praised her, then picked up a piece of meat and put it in her mouth.

But she realized something was wrong after just chewing it twice.

Poisoned...
