Gu Qinghuai returned to his original place.

Xiao Lingxin and Xiao Yueshi were both astonished when they saw the carriage. It was so big and so classy. How could such a high-end carriage exist in that small border town?

Qi Yuanshuo and Zhao Wang looked at each other, turned their eyes away, and then looked up at the sky.

Gu Qinghuai jumped off the carriage and laughed breathlessly, "I'm so lucky. I met a traveling merchant and bought this carriage at a high price. I heard that this carriage will be transported to the imperial capital and sold to a nobleman."

Xiao Lingxin looked guilty: "Xiao Huai, I'm really sorry to bother you. I've wasted your time and cost you money. This carriage is not cheap, right?"

"Aunt Xiao, don't thank me. It's fate that we met. I consider you and Yue Shi as my friends. Besides, my family also wants to buy a carriage," Gu Qinghuai said with a smile.

"Yes, we are good friends. We will take care of each other all our lives, even better than family members," Xiao Lingxin was very happy.

Xiao Yueshi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It's good for mom and her to be friends, but they should never be sisters regardless of age difference, otherwise there will be a generation gap between him and Xiao Huai.

The carriage was big enough for the five wounded to sit in. Xiao Lingxin sat on the left, Zhao Wang and Xiao Yueshi sat on the right, Nanny Dong and A Nai lay in the carriage, and Taxue pulled the carriage.

Qi Yuanshuo and Gu Qinghuai rode their horses side by side behind the carriage.

Xiao Yueshi looked through the rear window at the two people on horseback, talking and laughing, and their eyes frequently met, and his eyes couldn't help but darken.

His eyes flashed slightly, and with a slight bump in the carriage, his body suddenly tilted and fell to one side. He took this opportunity to press the wound with his fingers.

"Hmm," Xiao Yueshi groaned and leaned weakly against the wall of the carriage.

"Shi'er!" Xiao Ling was shocked and rushed to the other side to support Xiao Shiyue. "What happened to Shi'er?"

At the same time, Zhao Wang also supported Xiao Yueshi, and because he was caught off guard, his hand pressed on Xiao Lingxin's hand.

The delicate and smooth touch made Zhao Wang tremble as if he was struck by lightning. He quickly pulled his hand back, then moved his butt away, his face and neck flushed red.

Xiao Lingxin didn't notice this detail. When she supported Xiao Yue, she saw blood soaking through the gauze on his chest. She immediately shouted toward the rear window of the car, "Xiao Huai! Xiao Huai! Shi'er is bleeding!"

Taxue stopped immediately and the carriage stopped.

"I'll go and take a look!" Gu Qinghuai said to Qi Yuanshuo, then immediately dismounted and entered the carriage.

Qi Yuanshuo looked at her back, with a flash of disappointment in his eyes.

However, he knew that Sister Xiao Huai only regarded Xiao Yueshi as an ordinary friend, and it was Xiao Yueshi who was shameless and had to come between him and Sister Xiao Huai.

Zhao Wang immediately made room for Gu Qinghuai. Gu Qinghuai sat next to Xiao Yueshi and opened the curtains. The light in the carriage instantly brightened up.

Xiao Yueshi covered his chest with his hands, his brows furrowed in pain, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Yueshi, what's wrong?" Gu Qinghuai asked.

Seeing his son's distressed expression, Xiao Lingxin immediately helped explain, "The carriage jolted a bit just now, and Shi'er didn't sit firmly, so he swayed a bit, and he might have torn the wound."

"Let me see!" Gu Qinghuai prepared to remove the gauze and check the wound.

Qi Yuanshuo rode on Ghost and stood beside the carriage with a slightly gloomy look in his eyes.

Xiao Yueshi is such a sinister guy, he actually used the self-torture trick!

How could there be any problem with the wound that was bandaged by Sister Xiaohuai herself? Although the road was uneven and a bit bumpy, the car was very stable when walking on the snow, so the people in the car would not fall down.

That guy must have done it on purpose!

Gu Qinghuai said: "It is true that the wound was torn. I will apply some medicine on him."

"Thank you, Xiao Huai," Xiao Yueshi glanced at Gu Qinghuai with a slight smile on his face.

After treating the wound, Gu Qinghuai was about to get off the carriage. Zhao Wang suddenly said, "Huai'er, it's too cold outside. You take the carriage and I'll ride the horse!"

On the one hand, Zhao Wang did this because he really felt sorry for his niece, but on the other hand, he felt that he could not stay in the same closed space with Xiao Lingxin. Smelling her breath and knowing that there was such a woman around him, Zhao Wang tensed up and dared not breathe.

The point is, he always seems to want to swallow.

It was so embarrassing and uncomfortable, and every minute was torture.

Gu Qinghuai asked with concern: "But uncle, you are injured."

"It's okay, I'll ride slower," Zhao Wang said as he jumped off the carriage.

Gu Qinghuai said to Chi Yan, "Carry my uncle on your back. Be careful not to drop him."

Chi Yan is very loyal to his master. Normally, no one is allowed to ride on it except Gu Qinghuai, unless Gu Qinghuai personally gives the order.

When Qi Yuanshuo saw Gu Qinghuai getting on the carriage, he harnessed the ghost into the carriage as well and then jumped into the carriage.

Xiao Lingxin and Gu Qinghuai sat on the left, Qi Yuanshuo and Xiao Yueshi sat on the right.

Even though Qi Yuanshuo and Xiao Yueshi did not make eye contact, there was an undercurrent between the two of them, and they were secretly competing with each other.

Xiao Lingxin looked at the way his son looked at Xiao Huai, and there was something he didn't understand.

Good, Shi’er’s dead heart came back to life.

When they arrived at Qinghe County, Nanny Dong and A Nai were both awake.

When they learned that it was Gu Qinghuai who saved them, they were both deeply moved.

Nanny Dong was very grateful that when her master sent her to Feitian Village to help Madam Gu, she did not look down on Madam Gu, nor did she put on airs, but instead did her best. Otherwise, Madam Gu would not have used the magic medicine to save her this time.

However, they did not expect that their masters would return to find them so soon. If their masters did not come back, they would not have survived.

In short, they followed a good master and met good people, so their life was worth it.

Xiao Lingxin asked the two what happened here after they escaped.

An Nai then recounted what happened next.

At that time, he was pierced by a sword and thought he was dead, so he told Xiao Yueshi and Xiao Lingxin to run quickly and not to bother with them.

After watching the three men ride away on horseback, he lost consciousness. Unexpectedly, he woke up at dawn.

He saw Nanny Dong lying on the side, so he went forward to check on her. Seeing that she was still breathing, he dragged her to hide in the mountains. Finally, the two of them found a low cave and hid inside.

Because of excessive bleeding and exhaustion, Anai fainted again. When he woke up again, he was in the carriage.

Gu Qinghuai said: "If the sword had moved half an inch to the left, An Nai would have died."

"God really has a good vision," Xiao Lingxin clasped his hands together and bowed.

Anai felt that it was because he was loyal to his master that God did not let him die.

It was midnight when the group finally returned home.

The whole family got up, greeted the guests warmly, introduced themselves to each other, then ate and bathed. Finally, they vacated two rooms for Xiao Lingxin and his three servants to live in.

Because a row of rooms was expanded to the west of the soap workshop, the four members of the An family and Shouwu and Danggui all lived there.

The next day, Xiao Lingxin and his three servants slept until noon before waking up.

The sun is shining outside the window, and laughter can be heard from time to time.

Nanny Dong and An Nai were still lying in bed recuperating from their injuries. Xiao Lingxin and Xiao Yueshi pushed the door open and saw Gu Qinghuai holding a delicate baby and sitting in the yard with a few old ladies basking in the sun and chatting.
