Traveling through time and space to meet a replacement bride? But I’m a man!

Got the situation.

Old Master Zhang hurriedly asked Xu Wenyan: "Yan'er, what can we do to save Cheng Jin now?"

"Take some medicine to replenish qi and blood, such as ginseng, red dates, codonopsis, atractylodes, mulberry, wolfberry, etc. The most important thing is to replenish nutrition."

Everyone in the Zhang family knew that this was an old illness coming back.

Zhang Chengjin had been in poor health when he was a child. His family was rich at that time, and they used a lot of precious medicinal herbs to restore his health.

I have only suffered for half a month, and now my body is being strained again.

"Manager Wu, do you have any tonic on you? We can buy them with money." Mrs. Duan looked at Manager Wu, her eyes filled with excitement.

"We don't have any, so there's no point in asking us."

Xu Wenyan stood up and prepared to leave, and Xu Qiaoer thanked Xu Wenyan solemnly.

At this time, Zhang Chengshuo grabbed Xu Wenyan's arm and said, "You must have medicine. We are all family. You have to save your cousin."

Xu Wenyan looked up at him and met Zhang Chengshuo's not-so-bright eyes: "Let go."

"We are all family, why are you so fierce?"

"Chengshuo." Xu grabbed Zhang Chengshuo's wrist and shook her head.

Xu Wenyan impatiently shook off Zhang Chengshuo's hand and left.

Looking at everyone who was shivering from the cold, Xu Wenyan sighed and sat back next to Xu Dashan.

It’s not that the weather is really cold now. The clothes Xu Wenyan is wearing can fully withstand the current wind and snow.

They were cold simply because their linen clothes had large gaps, so the wind was no different from blowing directly on their bodies.

Almost everyone's hands were frozen red.

The only place that gets hot is the soles of my feet.

"Are you worried about them?" Xu Dashan asked.

Xu Wenyan didn't answer him, but looked up at the snow which was getting heavier and heavier: "The snow is a bit too heavy this year."

"Yeah." Xu Dashan also looked up at the gray sky: "I heard that the climate in the past two years was very good, but there was war in the first year and reconstruction in the second year. I don't know how the county is now."

"Does elder sister know that you are following me?"

Xu Dashan shook his head: "If I didn't tell her, she would have known in advance and would have definitely come along."

An hour passed and the team continued to move forward.

The snow on the ground is now high enough to cover shoes. The snow is soft and people with poor sense of balance will sprain their feet after every two steps.

Fortunately, it had turned into light snow by then.

After walking for more than two hours, the team finally saw the city wall of Fenghuang County.

It wasn't too early at this time.

Xu Wenyan just felt that his legs were about to break.

No wonder Manager Wu’s salary is so high. He’s exhausted from making the trip once a year.

The exiles lived in an abandoned warehouse outside the city gate.

No county would allow these criminals in.

As soon as they arrived at the place, Madam Duan handed a silver hairpin to Manager Wu.

Manager Wu naturally understood what he meant. Lord Ning, who was previously in charge of solving the case, had some connections with the Zhang family. Otherwise, Manager Wu would not have been so lax in his management.

Manager Wu took three soldiers and left.

Xu Dashan reminded Xu Wenyan, "After passing Fenghuang County, we will reach Wuyi. It will take us about five or six days to walk in Wuyi alone.

Once you pass Wuyi Mountain, climate change will become more obvious.”

When they went to fight, it was spring and the weather was pleasant, unlike now, when they chose an awkward season to be exiled.

But this is still considered good. If the exile starts in November, by December and January, the northwest will have really heavy snow.

Today, that's not enough.

It was not until this time that Xu Wenyan began to seriously observe Xu Dashan's face.

When Xu Dashan saw Xu Wenyan staring at him, he scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Your wound is too long."

The scar on Xu Dashan's face almost took up the entire side of his face. Xu Wenyan touched it again and felt that it was somewhat different from the scars on his body.

Be softer.

"This was my third time on the battlefield, and also my first time confronting the Hu people head-on. I was killed by the crescent-shaped knife." Xu Dashan pulled his collar.

"The barbarian's knife was very sharp, and it cut all the way to the collarbone without any hindrance."

Now think about it, even Wang Zeren and Wei Ren who did not go to the battlefield had old injuries, not to mention them.

Look, he even got stabbed in the waist.

Even now, when Xu Wenyan thinks back to that time, the wound on his waist still hurts a little.

For slightly larger wounds, it’s fine as long as they don’t become inflamed.

Once it gets inflamed, it's more painful than death.

"You must be hungry. I'm going to the county to buy something."

After Xu Dashan left, Zhang Chao yelled at Xu Wenyan: "Brother Xu, come quickly, we have almost finished cleaning up."

Zhang Chao still chose a corner of the warehouse. He and his wife simply cleaned the ground with hay.

"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Zhang. We still have to light the fire. It's snowing today, and the temperature will be much lower at night."

Zhang Chao's wife Ma was left behind to take care of Qianqian.

A soldier followed them out, this was Xu Dashan's instruction.

Manager Wu is not afraid that they will run away.

"Hey, brother, where are you from?" Zhang Chao asked with a smile.

This person always looked cheerful, and Xu Wenyan felt quite friendly towards him: "I am from Feng County."

"We are a little far away. I am from Zhangjia Village, which belongs to An County."

The two chatted as they walked into the woods. Zhang Chao found a palm tree and went forward to tear off a lot of leaves and palm fibers.

Watching him clumsily tearing the palm tree leaves with his bare hands, Xu Wenyan shook his head.

"Brother Luo, can I use your knife?" Xu Wenyan said to the young soldier who followed him.

Luo Feng was stunned: "Do you know me?"

"Xu Dashan mentioned it to me."

"Oh." Luo Feng nodded and handed the saber to Xu Wenyan.

Zhang Chao saw Xu Wenyan holding the saber and thought he had stolen it: "Oh, brother, you are risking your life, give the saber back to him."

Xu Wenyan smiled and said, "I borrowed it, and I will return it soon."

After chopping down the palm tree, Xu Wenyan looked at Zhang Chao: "Brother Zhang Chao, can you peel the palm tree?"

"Yes!" Zhang Chao came over happily.

Xu Wenyan handed him the saber, but he was a little hesitant to take it. He turned his head to look at Luo Feng, and when he saw that he didn't move, he carefully took it and began to peel it off skillfully.

As if he was afraid of being blamed by Luo Feng, Zhang Chao peeled off the palm fibers in less than a moment.

"Let's go, let's transport these back first."

Xu Wenyan took the knife without any hurry and started scraping the palm tree again: "Brother Zhang Chao, don't you know that this palm tree is edible?"

"Ah? This tree is edible? The ones we ate were bitter and astringent and inedible."

Xu Wenyan smiled and said, "It's the wrong season. It's a bit bitter to eat now, but it's still acceptable."

"This thing is really edible." Zhang Chao watched Xu Wenyan busying himself with half belief and half doubt.

Soon, a palm tree core as thick as an arm appeared in Xu Wenyan's hand. The upper part of the palm tree core was thin and white, and was the tenderer part.

The color below is milky white with a hint of yellow.

Xu Wenyan took a bite of the tree core, which was crispy and sweet at first, but had a bitter aftertaste.

"Try it?" Xu Wenyan returned the saber to Luo Feng and handed him a piece of tender core.

Luo Feng looks quite young, probably about the same size as Xiaohu.

"Oh, thank you." Xu Dashan had instructed to take good care of this person. Luo Feng also tasted this strange thing and found it tasted pretty good.

After all, he is a child from a poor family and his appetite is not that picky.

Xu Wenyan cut off all the tender shoots and gave half to Zhang Chao: "Give it to Qianqian."

"This... this is not good."

Xu Wenyan handed the palm tree core to him: "Don't waste time, it's just a piece of tree core."

After that, they found some firewood and went back.
