Gu Xin and the few hundred of them did not have any food to eat at all. Lu Zheng and the rest only had a few days 'worth of rations, so everyone only had a little each to barely fill their stomachs.
Gu Xin looked at the sky. It was almost midnight. She decided to use up all the Jade beads she had today and boil water for everyone to drink so that they could last for a while.
Second white and the rest rode their camels to fetch water. After a few trips, they only managed to bring back a small bowl of water for everyone to drink.
The crowd didn't understand why Gu Xin wanted them to drink the water. Gu Xin didn't explain further and only said that they had to drink the hot water to warm their bodies. They had to at least hold on until the day after tomorrow. Otherwise, they would all starve to death.
Lu Zheng's heart ached when he saw Gu Xin taking care of everything on her own. However, under such circumstances, he could only silently help Gu Xin share her burden.
