"Maybe." Lu Ke'er glanced at the person on the ground and made a decision: "Take him with us."

"Miss..." Qiu Shui grabbed Lu Ke'er's hand.

"Don't be afraid." Lu Ke'er took a deep breath and said, "Now that we have met him, we can't just stand by and watch him die. This is also a fate between him and us."

Together, the two of them lifted the man onto the carriage.

"Xiaomei, run." Following Lu Ke'er's urging, Xiaomei raised her hooves and galloped away.

Just as the carriage disappeared at the end of the mountain road, several men with weapons ran out from the woods.

"What about people?"

One of them walked to the middle of the road, squatted down, and reached out to pick up the dust on the road.

"There are traces of blood. There are traces of lying."

"There are still wheel tracks there," cried another.

"Damn it, he must have been rescued."

"Chase!"

Several people followed the wheel tracks for several miles. At a fork in the road, the wheel tracks disappeared.

"Damn it, the traces have been erased."

………………

A few miles away, Xiao Pa let go of the branch in his mouth, shook off his hair, and jumped onto the running carriage.

"Meow..."

It took credit from Lu Ke'er.

"Well done! I'll make you some braised pork elbow when I get home." Lu Ke'er patted it.

"Meow——" Xiaopa proudly scratched Lu Ke'er's calf with his front paws.

"Got it, put less salt."

Qiu Shui was amazed: "Miss, Xiaopa is really smart. You asked it to hold a branch in its mouth and sweep away the traces behind the carriage, and it actually understood and did it."

"This guy can't stand praise." Lu Ke'er glared at the little Pa whose tail was about to rise to the sky, and said with a smile.

"Miss, where are we going now?"

"Send him to Xuanhu Pavilion. They are all our people there."

........................

Lu Ke'er's arrival surprised and delighted Gao Yutang.

"Master, you finally remembered that you still have a disciple like me."

"Keep your voice down. Come, help me carry the person in."

Only then did Gao Yutang notice that there was an unconscious stranger lying in the carriage.

"This is?"

"He was rescued on the way. Don't make it known, someone is chasing him." Lu Ke'er leaned close to Gao Yutang's ear and whispered.

Gao Yutang was shocked and immediately asked someone to carry the man inside quickly.

"I've already given him acupuncture on the way. From now on, you will treat him." Lu Ke'er instructed, "This is a good time to try out the treatment method I taught you last time."

"Okay, Master." Gao Yutang was eager to try.

He first checked the man's pulse for a while before slowly speaking: "This man is not dead, he is really lucky."

Lu Ke'er glanced at the man with his eyes closed on the bed and sighed, "He has a strong desire to survive. I guess he has some unfulfilled wish."

Qiu Shui was full of sympathy: "I wonder where this man is from? If his family knew about his current situation, they would definitely be very worried."

Gao Yutang sighed, "I wonder if he has any family. He is dressed in rags, looks pale and skinny, like a refugee."

He does not mean that.

Lu Ke'er's heart trembled.

Just at this time, Chen Xiaoyong came to Xuanhu Pavilion to get medicine, and also came to pay his respects to Gao Yutang.

Seeing that he was an acquaintance, the doorman did not stop him and let him in.

"Master Gao, my boss asked me to come and pay my respects to you. I would also like to kowtow to you and thank you. Thanks to your miraculous healing skills, otherwise I would have had diarrhea and died."

As soon as he entered the room, Chen Xiaoyong kowtowed to Gao Yutang to express his gratitude.

"Okay, get up soon." Seeing Chen Xiaoyong, Gao Yutang couldn't help but sympathize with him. "You are unlucky. The murderer gave you a laxative to get you out of the way so that he could poison you more easily. Fortunately, you were treated in time and you are fine now."

"Thank you, sir." Chen Xiaoyong looked up at Lu Ke'er and bowed respectfully, "I greet Miss Lu."

Lu Ke'er was impressed by him.

"Any news about your brother?" she asked with concern.

The smile on Chen Xiaoyong's face disappeared, and his expression became gloomy. He shook his head and said, "I have been looking for it everywhere when I have time, but there is still no clue."

Lu Ke'er thought about the atrocities committed by the Jia family in kidnapping and torturing refugees, and hesitated whether to tell Chen Xiaoyong.

At this moment, Chen Xiaoyong caught sight of the man on the bed and asked, "Is this the new patient?"

Gao Yutang nodded: "My master rescued him on the way. Keep your mouth shut and don't tell anyone once you leave this room."

Chen Xiaoyong nodded quickly: "Don't worry, Mr. Gao, I will keep it a secret."

Then he asked curiously, "Excuse me, Miss Lu, who is he?"

"I don't know." Lu Ke'er replied, "But someone is chasing him, so he must not be an ordinary person."

Hearing this, Chen Xiaoyong became more curious about this "uncommon person". He focused and glanced at the person on the bed again.

This sight stunned him.

Seeing that he looked different, Lu Keer asked, "What's wrong?"

Chen Xiaoyong became excited, he rushed over to the bed, his eyes wandering around the person on the bed. In an instant, his eyes were filled with tears.

"Xiaoyong, what's wrong with you?" Gao Yutang also asked.

"Mr. Gao, Miss Lu." Chen Xiaoyong smiled through his tears, "He is my elder brother, Chen Dayong."

…………

When we returned to the Lu family, it was already night.

Dinner has been served, but Ye Feng and Zuo Yi have not returned yet.

"Why didn't Xiaoxiao come back so late today?" Ji was worried and kept nagging, "This child is usually very punctual."

"Mom, our home is not his home. He can come back or not if he wants! Besides, does he have to report to you when he comes back?" For some reason, Lu Ke'er felt an inexplicable blockage in her chest.

This Xiao Xiao has been missing all day and didn't even leave a message.

"Girl, why are you so aggressive today?" Ji glared at her. "These past few days, Xiao Xiao has been busy with you and never complained. But you don't care whether she comes back or not."

"Why should I care about him?" Lu Ke'er was unhappy. "He will leave our house sooner or later. What's the point of caring about him?"

Ji suddenly fell silent.

She looked at Lu Ke'er and sighed: "Let's leave some food for him. What if he comes back?"

Just as Lu Ke'er was about to speak, she heard the "cooing" sounds of Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai coming from the windowsill.

She walked over, and when she came back, there was a note in her hand.

"Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai brought a letter?" Ji asked, "Whose letter is it?"

Lu Ke'er glanced at the note quickly, her face darkening: "Who else? It's Xiao Xiao we just talked about. He said that he and Zuo Yi have something important to do tonight and won't be back."

"Ah? What's so important? You don't even go home." Ji asked puzzledly.

"Mom, I've already told you that our home is not his home." Lu Ke'er felt annoyed. "He didn't say anything. How can I answer you?"
