The female prisoners licked their chapped lips and swallowed hard, but it did not relieve their pain; instead, it made their throats ache.

"What should we do?"

The group discussed, "Should we go catch some pheasants?"

Some people said no, arguing that pheasants are difficult to catch, and everyone was exhausted.

Some people say they want to try, reasoning that it's a gamble, maybe they can actually catch it? But how do you know you can't catch it if you don't try?

The debate was heated, but in the end, the action faction prevailed over the reason faction, and the female prisoners unanimously agreed: arrest them.

"it is good."

Lu Jing nodded after hearing the women's final decision, then gave them some water to drink and a quick wash before they lined up and went back into the mountains.

The plan to have the female prisoners catch chickens while hunting monkeys, thus training their teamwork skills, had already taken shape in Lu Jing's mind.

He paid special attention to the terrain and the surrounding environment.

Based on his experience in wilderness survival from his previous life, Lu Jing determined the pheasant's activity range and now led the women there.

However, while catching chickens is one thing, safety must also be ensured.

If cannibalistic soldiers come to search the mountain, things will get very serious.

Therefore, Lu Jing found a high hill in advance and stood there, where he could observe the situation in the distance and also watch the progress of the female prisoners catching chickens, killing two birds with one stone.

"Okay, we've arrived."

Lu Jing stood at the front of the line with his arms crossed, facing the female prisoners: "Let's go catch some pheasants. Oh, right, there are so many of us, catching two or three won't be enough to fill our stomachs. Hmm, let's catch twenty."

Twenty?!

The female prisoners grinned.

Whether they can catch even one or two is still unknown, yet they want to catch twenty?!

"Lord Lu, could we...?"

They were about to discuss it with Lu Jing when he simply turned his back on them.

Watching Lu Jing leave, the women could only sigh helplessly.

There's no room for negotiation.

Once he was confirmed to have disappeared from the women's sight and could no longer see them, Lu Jing turned and ran up the hill, then climbed a pine tree, sat on a thick branch, and looked at the women.

woohoo-

He was panting heavily.

The body has recovered, but the problem of being physically weak remains unresolved.

While training the female prisoners, we must also seize the time to improve their physical fitness.

Lu Jing rubbed his chin, recalling the night of the "double-cross" incident and the wooden box he had obtained.

I wonder when the unconscious red-haired girl will wake up.

If she led a group to rob a tomb, she must have known the origins of the tomb's owner, and thus might have known how to open the wooden box.

But now she's stuck deep in the mountains, lacking medical care and medicine, and we don't know when she'll wake up.

Hmm...that's a bit troublesome.

Lu Jing pondered for a moment and decided that he still needed to return to Anping County.

Under the tree, in the distance.

The female prisoners were gathered together, not standing, but lying sprawled on the ground in all sorts of crooked positions.

After the exhaustion of running laps ended, they went back to the road to catch chickens. The girls' stamina had not recovered at all, so they took advantage of Lu Jing's absence to rest for a while.

"Ouch, that hurts!"

"My back might be broken."

"My poor thing, my feet are covered in blisters."

The women huddled together to complain, each one sighing and lamenting.

"oops!"

Just as everyone was feeling a sense of camaraderie, they suddenly heard a painful sigh, and everyone's bodies trembled.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" The female prisoners quickly searched for the source of the sound.

"I, I..."

In the crowd, a female prisoner clutched her stomach and raised her hand.

humming-

They used their arms to support themselves and crawled over little by little, asking her with concern, "What's wrong?"

"I, I..."

The female prisoner blushed and stammered for a long time, unable to utter a complete sentence.

Wen Lanxiang, who was standing next to her, guessed her embarrassment and leaned closer to her, asking, "Are you menstruating?"

"Yes, yes!" The female prisoner looked at Wen Lanxiang gratefully and nodded vigorously.

"This is not a good situation." Wen Lanxiang rubbed her hands together to warm them and placed them on the girl's stomach.

Suddenly, Ji Tangtang, the "energetic young lady" next to her, raised an eyelid and said excitedly:

"Sisters, can we tell Lord Lu that we're all on our menstrual cycle and can't catch chickens anymore!"

What are those girls whispering about all together? They're definitely up to no good.

Lu Jing, looking down from his vantage point, saw the girls huddled together chattering and adjusted his position accordingly.

He climbed up a tree halfway up the mountain to get a little closer to the girl.

With his exceptional hearing, Lu Jing could hear what they were saying.

On the grass in the distance.

The women lying down surrounded Ji Tangtang in the middle.

"Listen to me," Ji Tangtang said, raising his chin. "We'll tell Lord Lu that everyone is in the Guishui period, so we can't catch chickens, we need to rest, and we need to eat."

The other female prisoners all shook their heads, saying it was impossible.

"Daydreaming! Do you think Lord Lu is a fool?"

"Exactly, he'll question: It's impossible for the Gui water to come together."

Disapproving, Ji Tangtang shook his finger: "You're overthinking it. How would men know about menstrual blood? They're not going to come."

"It still won't work," Qin Liniang said dismissively. "Even if Lord Lu doesn't understand Gui Shui, he wouldn't believe that so many of us would come together for Gui Shui."

Some people agreed with Qin Liniang's statement and stopped Ji Tangtang, telling her not to act recklessly.

"Didn't you hear what Lord Lu said? We are comrades-in-arms, we are a unit. If you act recklessly, we will also be punished."

"That's right, that's right."

but.

Every problem has two sides.

For every person who opposes something, there is someone who supports it.

Several female prisoners, exhausted and weak from exhaustion, were intrigued by Ji Tangtang's idea.

"I say, Ji Tangtang has a point. Surely Lord Lu wouldn't be so heartless as to make us train here in Guishui?"

"you mean?"

"If we can't all come to Gui Shui, only a portion of the people can come."

"Ah, I understand what you mean. We don't need to go together. A few of us can talk to Lord Lu separately about the arrival of Gui Shui. Although there are many of us, it's better than going together to talk."

"Yes, that's exactly what I mean!"

The female prisoners were excitedly discussing, but little did they know that Lu Jing had overheard every word of their conversation.

Oh.

Lu Jing laughed in exasperation.

You lazy thieves really know how to do things.

Okay, you guys said it's coming with the Gui water element, so I'll play along.

Lu Jing nimbly climbed down the tree and walked calmly toward the female prisoners.

cough cough.

Approaching them from behind, Lu Jing pretended to cough.

Damn!

The female prisoners were startled and turned around. When they saw it was Lu Jing, they immediately jumped up like springs.

"Lord Lu, Lord Lu."

"Um."

Lu Jing nodded without speaking, waiting for the other party to make the first move.

"Um, Lord Lu."

The female prisoners who had previously conspired raised their hands.

"speak."

"us……"

They exchanged glances and said, "We've all had our menstrual cycle and are too weak to continue training."

"Oh?"

Lu Jing feigned sudden realization: "So it's the start of menstruation! No doubt about it, I need to rest!"

what?

The female prisoners were stunned, clearly not expecting Lu Jing to agree, and stammered, "Really? Really?"

"Of course it's true."

Lu Jing smiled and said, "And I also have a way to prevent you from having your period."

The women were taken aback: Not coming?!
