The strongman's wife who traveled through time and space and became a young general

"Mother, what happened?" Yang couldn't ignore the strong uneasiness in her heart and couldn't help asking.

After a half-minute rest, Lin Youniang's complexion had returned to normal. She looked at Yang, whose face was pale and whose voice was trembling, and she seemed to see herself from more than ten years ago.

Once upon a time, she witnessed Ah Lang's tragic death with her own eyes, and she was awakened by nightmares countless times in the following years. In her half-asleep trance, she could always see Ah Lang's tender smile. However, every time she stretched out her arms and ran towards him in surprise, she would open her eyes and everything would become nothing again.

It was precisely because of the pain she had experienced that Lin Youniang acquiesced to Lin Qiuer's decision to conceal Nan Cheng's disappearance.

"It's okay. Qiu'er rescued a teenager who was being chased by a man in black when she was collecting herbs in the Nalan Mountains. She also found a wooden sign on the man in black, the same one as the one that killed your father more than ten years ago." Lin Youniang decided to only tell Yang the first half of the truth. As for Nancheng's disappearance, she would tell her when there was a result.

When Yang heard this, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then suddenly realized that her reaction was too obvious.

A-niang and A-di had a deep relationship, so it was understandable that she reacted more strongly to the news of her husband's murderer, but she must have felt very uncomfortable inside. Qiu'er and Nanyue left in a hurry, probably to deal with this matter.

She felt ashamed of her previous congratulations.

"Mother, don't be sad. One day, we will make those bad guys pay for their crimes with blood." Yang comforted.

The continuous blows made Lin Youniang physically and mentally exhausted, but her dignity as a witch doctor allowed her to remain calm and not reveal her emotions easily.

"I'm fine, you go and do your work first." Lin Youniang said.

"Mother, you must take good care of yourself. Everyone in the village needs you." Yang said softly and looked at Lin Youniang worriedly.

Lin Youniang waved her hand casually, and Yang gently pulled Lin Baoer, who was squatting on the ground observing ants, away.

Lin Youniang watched them leave, sighed deeply, and immersed herself in thoughts again.

Lin Nanshan hurried back from the field and saw A Niang sitting there again, as if she had turned into a wooden figure. This state reminded him of the few years after his father passed away. Although A Niang could prepare medicinal materials and raise poisonous snakes and insects as usual, and could also treat and prescribe medicine for the unwell people in the village, when she was alone, she would fall into deep thought like now.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Lin Nanshan walked forward and squatted in front of Lin Youniang with an anxious look on his face.

Lin Youniang came back to her senses at Lin Nanshan's call. She looked at his face and told him in a calm tone, "Your eldest brother is missing."

Lin Nanshan trembled all over when he heard this, and held Lin Youniang's equally cold hand tightly with his shaking hands, "Mother."

"The person hasn't been found yet. Your little sister said that not finding the person is the best outcome." Lin Youniang immediately held Lin Nanshan's hand and said, "As long as the person hasn't been found, it means that the person may still be alive."

Lin Nanshan's eyes felt slightly hot, he held back his tears and tried to stay strong.

"The tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop. Your little sister is right. We should start to solve the safety problem of the village." Lin Youniang solemnly instructed Lin Nanshan, "You go and notify every household. Next, we need to organize people to open a road from the village to the Nalan Mountains. We also need to build a safe place in the Nalan Mountains for women, the elderly and children to hide."

Lin Nanshan was confused by this arrangement and asked, "Mother, there are poisonous snakes and insects outside, so outsiders can't get in."

"But what if others also know how to control poisonous snakes and insects? Then wouldn't it be easy for them to enter our village?" Lin Youniang said, feeling secretly scared.

Generations of people believed that as long as the road existed, the village would be safe, but they never thought that there were other people who were as skilled in snake and insect ways as the witch doctor. If Lin Qiuer hadn't discovered this problem, if someone surrounded them in the future, their lives might be in danger.

Lin Nanshan felt that the scene was too horrifying and he couldn't even imagine it. "Mother, I'll go tell everyone and follow your instructions."

"Okay, go ahead." Lin Youniang said, and slowly walked to the herbs to be processed and continued with her work. In order to deal with the dangers that might arise next, she had to hurry up and make more herbs. She instructed, "Tell your sister-in-law to come and help me process the herbs after you finish what you are doing."

"Okay, mother." Lin Nanshan responded and went to the kitchen to convey Lin Youniang's words to Yang, and then went out to notify every household.

-------------------------------------------------- -

Lin Qiuer and Lin Nanyue hurried down the mountain. When they arrived at the wooden house at the foot of the mountain, everyone was already ready and sitting waiting for their arrival.

This time, Gu Anqing was not tied to a stretcher, but was carried on Changqing's back with a rope tied around his back.

What surprised Lin Qiuer was that in such a short period of time, Lin Nanye and Song Ye had become so close that they almost became sworn brothers on the spot.

He is indeed a powerful person.

"Mr. Gu, how do you feel now?" Lin Qiuer first asked about Gu Anqing's physical condition with concern.

The smile on Gu Anqing's face made him look elegant and handsome. He nodded slightly to express his gratitude to Lin Qiuer, "Thanks to the medicine that Miss Lin brought, my fingers can feel better now."

Chang Qing could hardly conceal the joy on his face, and shouted, "Miss Lin, will my young master be able to move freely soon?"

Lin Qiu'er had a smile on her face, but she cursed her mother hundreds of times in her heart. What this person was asking for was not medicine, but the panacea from the gods in heaven!

"You can try to pray to the gods in your heart. Please pray for my young master to recover soon! As long as you pray devoutly more often, maybe your young master's condition will improve faster." Lin Qiu'er deliberately made a joke, and then she said seriously to the people present, "Let's set off for the county now. Brother Song Ye, please show us the way to the county. None of us have been to the county and are not familiar with the route."

Song Ye agreed generously, and he and Lin Nanye walked in front with their arms around each other's shoulders.

Walking behind them were Chang Qing, who was carrying Gu Anqing, as well as Lin Qiu'er and Lin Nanyue. Their steps were brisk and orderly, and the group walked like this for two or three hours.

After a while, everyone felt a little tired and hungry, so they decided to stop and take a rest and enjoy the dry food that Lin Qiuer brought.

After eating, they continued on their journey, this time with more energy, because they knew the county town was waiting for them.
