My whole family time-traveled! I became a god during my exile in a famine.

Chapter 55 Forceful Climbing

"Don't worry, although your injury has damaged your blood vessels and tendons, it can still be treated."

"But you have to cooperate with me."

"We'll cooperate, we'll definitely cooperate!" Zhao Xun said before her older brother could even speak.

"You can really cure it?" Fan Xing, the second-in-command who had been lazily and casually glancing at the scene, couldn't help but sit up straight.

Xin Nian glanced at him with disdain, "You look pale and thin, you look even more seriously injured than your older brother."

"Oh right, right, little sister, you figured it out." Zhao Xun grasped Xin Nian's other hand, looking at her with eyes full of admiration. "My second brother is just stubborn. He suffered a serious internal injury earlier, but he just pretended to be tough."

Zhao Hu nodded quickly, "Yes, stubbornly insist on it, and don't let anyone say anything."

Fan Xing didn't expect to be rebuffed as soon as he opened his mouth, and glared at the two siblings in annoyance.

"Ask your older brother." Why are you changing the subject?

"Yes, yes, little sister, how do you want to treat big brother?"

Xin Nian thought for a moment. He knew he couldn't just use his healing power on anyone else, but he could use acupuncture to assist with the application of medicine.

"We're out in the middle of nowhere, so there's definitely no way we can have a medicinal bath. But my acupuncture skills are actually pretty good, and I can give the boss acupuncture treatment, but first we need to clean the wound and remove the putrefaction."

“Yes, yes, yes.” Zhao Hu and his sister nodded repeatedly. “Miss, please just ask if you need anything.”

"I need herbs, can you go outside and pick them for me?" Xin Nian glanced at Zhao Hu, and her words silenced the burly man.

Zhao Xun chuckled, "Don't mind his little sister, we really don't have anything right now. But as long as you save our big brother, the lives of all fifty-two brothers in Dragon Tiger Stronghold will be entrusted to you."

"Yes, yes." Zhao Hu nodded his head with a simple, silly grin.

Xin Nian slapped Zhao Xun's hand away, "What use are your lives to me? They're just common medicinal herbs, I still have some here."

"I happen to have some time this afternoon, so I'll go back and prepare. I'll come over later to clean his wound and then give him the injection. If it rains heavily again tomorrow, maybe he can rest for another day."

Zhao Xun and the others looked extremely grateful and repeatedly bowed to her, saying, "Thank you for everything, Miss."

Zhao Jianghe looked at them with a somewhat complicated expression. These people, without even mentioning him as the person involved, had made a decision in just a few words!
He stared at Xin Nian, a hint of disbelief in his eyes. "Miss Xin, are you perhaps not afraid of us?"

"What do you have to be afraid of?"

Zhao Jianghe chuckled, "As you can see, in the eyes of others, we serious criminals are like monsters, and everyone avoids us like the plague."

"And they also said that my grandfather, my eldest brother, and my second eldest brother all defected to the enemy. Do you believe that?" Xin Nian scoffed. "I feel that among our group of exiles, there are probably more than just a few of us who have been wronged."

Fan Xing was taken aback, then sat up straight. "You think we've all been wronged?"

"Why not?"

“Look at that princess a few days ago, so arrogant and domineering. And that so-and-so from the Dali Temple, saying that the princess is missing, blah blah blah, he doesn’t investigate anything, he just wants to grab someone to finish the job.”

"This kind of damned court, which doesn't distinguish right from wrong and treats human life like dirt, will collapse sooner or later." Xin Nian waved her little hand dismissively.

Everyone was stunned.

"You really dare to say that..." Zhao Jianghe, Fan Xing, and the others were a little stunned.

“What’s there to be afraid to say?” Xin Nian couldn’t help but laugh. “They’ve already been exiled, what can’t they say? The corrupt system has been overthrown by the new generation, and decadent ideas have been replaced by advanced thinking. Isn’t that a normal thing?”

No, you're not normal, you're absolutely, positively abnormal!
Zhao Jianghe quickly said, "Little sister, you shouldn't say that to outsiders." "Okay, I'm leaving now." Xin Nian stood up with a smile.

Zhao Xun saw her off, looking very happy. "Don't worry, little sister. From now on, I'll take care of all the old, weak, women and children in your Xin family. We'll be like blood brothers and sisters from now on! Just let me know if you need anything."

Xin Nian was both amused and exasperated. Before the two of them even reached the entrance of the cave, a little old man with a bulbous nose suddenly jumped in front of her.

"Oh, little girl, come here, come here." The old man, with his messy hair, waved to her.

Zhao Xun stood in front of Xin Nian with a wary expression, asking, "Who are you?"

The old man was quite fast; before Zhao Xun could react, he stepped past her and grabbed Xin Nian's arm.

"Come quickly, Uncle has something good for you."

Zhao Xun's pupils contracted, and he felt an unprecedented tension.

How could this strange old man bypass me so effortlessly? His skill is quite impressive.

"It's alright, Sister Zhao," Xin Nian reassured her, then followed the old man to the side of the cave dwelling. "Is there anything you need, sir?"

"Come, come, come." The old man took the things his apprentice handed him and stuffed them into Xin Nian's hands.

"Uncle, I just went out to fetch water, and after some quick calculations, I found two wild rabbits by the roadside that had run headfirst into a tree and died! You're so lucky."

"Little girl, you must remember your uncle's kindness. Be sure to take your uncle with you when it matters~" The old man blinked his bright eyes, with a lewd little expression on his face.

Xin Nian couldn't help but chuckle, "Yes, I've heard you're a master."

"Oh, no, no, I don't deserve it." The old man waved his hands repeatedly, but his neck was tilted almost forty-five degrees to the sky.

"Then, could you tell me, will the rain stop tomorrow?"

"Hey, we can't stop, we can't stop for the next three days. You might as well take this time to rest. Little girl, you must be tired from walking."

Xin Nian paused for a moment, then smiled and nodded, picking up the two wild rabbits in her hand. "Thank you very much."

"Haha, from now on you can just call me Uncle Gu." The old man was very friendly and struck up a conversation with Xin Nian.

Xin Nian has no aversion to talented people who can tell fortunes and read celestial phenomena. This is the Director of the Imperial Observatory, and ordinary people don't even have the chance to befriend him.

Since the other party had taken the initiative to befriend her time and time again, she naturally accepted.

"Uncle Gu, I'll come over again this afternoon."

"Alright, alright." The old man smiled and watched her leave. His apprentice came over, his eyes full of questions, "Master, why do you always bring food to Miss Xin Liu?"

"What do you know?" The old man slapped his apprentice on the head. "This is called aggressively currying favor~ You'll understand my intentions later! Hmph. You'll have plenty to learn from this."

Xin Nian walked to the cave entrance, and when no one was looking, she quietly took away one of the wild rabbits, picked up the other one, and crawled under the umbrella. "Come on, Mianmian."

He had barely finished speaking when he suddenly paused, tapped the receiver in his ear, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"Sister?" Chang Mianmian gave her a questioning look.

"It's alright, we'll talk about it when we get back." Xin Nian pulled her back, and as they passed the cave dwelling of the Marquis of Enyi's mansion, the Third Master Chang stood there with a gloomy expression.

Judging from their posture, they had been waiting for quite a while.
