A clear male voice sounded: "The past cannot be changed. All we have to do is move forward."

Fu Bao looked at him aggrievedly: "Master! Where did you go? Why didn't you tell us in advance?"

Qingyang said sternly, "Some things cannot be interfered with. If we manage to avoid them once, there will be a bigger disaster..." Then he led the cow over and handed it to Li Shuangrong and Xiaoshui, "Let's go, take shelter in the forest ahead."

Fubao: "You went to buy a cow? It ran pretty fast." In fact, she already understood after Qingyang said that some things cannot be changed by human power. If he can help this time, then the next time will be more difficult to solve. In short, nothing can be missed.

Li Shuangrong took the rope silently, hitched the car, and several people followed him into the woods. They walked for nearly half an hour before they stopped.

Qingyang: "Okay, this place is far enough away that they won't be able to find us."

Xiao Shui: "When can we set off? I have other things to do."

Qingyang: "This road is full of refugees. If we go there by car, we will be skinned alive. We can either take a detour or wait for the court to come and deal with it before we go."

Xiao Shui decisively chose to take a detour. It would originally take half a month to get there, but now it would take more than 20 days to get there if he took the official road.

The family moved into the tent that night. A depressing atmosphere spread. There were too many variables along the way, and the series of events made them exhausted.

Fu Bao took the newly prepared medicine and changed his dressing. The man was in a coma and woke up when the dressing was changed: "Hiss——" His throat was hoarse and he could only make a breath: "Who are you?"

Fu Bao was surprised and said, "He's awake! Uncle Xiaoshui, come quickly." Then he said to him, "My uncle saved you."

The man opened his mouth to thank him, but Fubao stopped him: "Stop talking, I'll get you some water."

Xiao Shui had already strode over, squatted down, and asked, "What's going on?"

The man thanked her and said, "Thank you very much. I feel much better now."

Xiao Shui: "What's your name? Which army are you in? How did you get caught by them?"

The man drank the water Fubao handed over and said, "My name is Lin Sen, from Jiangzhou. Thank you for saving me, but I am inconvenienced by important military matters..."

Xiao Shui: "Okay, if you can't tell me, then don't tell me. You just need to take good care of your injuries and make plans when you get to Yuzhou."

When Zhou Qiaoping heard that the person had woken up, she brought over a bowl of light white porridge and said, "Eat something to fill your stomach."

Lin Sen thanked her: "Thank you, Auntie." He was covered in wounds and unable to move, so Zhou Qiaoping fed him a bowl of porridge.

Zhou Qiaoping looked at him and said, "My youngest son also joined the army and only comes back once every few years. You guys must take good care of yourselves and not make your parents worry too much."

Lin Sen said, "Yes, Auntie is right. Which military camp is your son in?"

Zhou Qiaoping shook her head and said, "Every time we met, he would just come back in a hurry and leave before we could say a few words. He never said anything about what happened in the military camp."

Li Sen understood and said, "He must have his own reasons. When the rebellion is quelled and the border is not disturbed, he will definitely come back."

Zhou Qiaoping smiled and nodded: "Okay, you should take a rest."

The noisy noise outside attracted Fubao's attention, and she hurriedly said, "Don't move. If anything happens, call someone to help you."

Before Lin Sen could answer, she had already strode out of the tent.

"Sister, you really can't go through. You should take a detour." Zhang Ercui's voice came clearly into her ears.

A shrill female voice sneered, "Every one of our servants is a skilled worker bought at a high price. Do you think they are like your makeshift team, old, weak, and disabled?"

Zhang Ercui: "There are a lot of them, they rob people whenever they see them, you guys..."

The fat man on the carriage poked his head out: "Why waste time arguing with them? They are a bunch of unruly people, go away!"

Zhang Ercui snatched the whip from the servant and said, "You really can't go!"

The woman's face changed. "Put it down! What is that?" Then she swept her eyes over the four servants. "Are you all dead? I spent so much money to hire you, and a woman stole your whip! You're useless!"

As he said this, he picked up the teapot at hand and smashed it on the man's head. Blood quickly flowed down his forehead, but he didn't dare to reach out to wipe it.

"Madam, please calm down." The man did not dare to delay. He snatched the whip from Zhang Ercui and pushed her hard, almost knocking her to the ground.

Li Darong hurried over to support them, angrily saying, "What a bullshit lady! Er Cui respects you as her elder sister, so she advised you a little more. You can go wherever you want now, and it's none of our business if you get skinned alive!"

When the three brothers Li Chongwang saw their mother being bullied, they stepped forward and said, "Aunt, mother meant well. It would be fine if you didn't appreciate it, but why did you hit her?"

The woman sneered, "Poor bastard, who is your aunt? Is she worthy of being my sister? My parents didn't even give her a name. I don't know who called her Er Cui. It's unlucky!"

Zhang Ercui looked pale, her lips trembling, "You guys go away, I am meddling in your business."

Fubao looked at her and couldn't help but run over to comfort her: "Aunt! And we..."

A chubby little boy with a face full of fat suddenly jumped out of the carriage. When Fubao met his gaze, he immediately felt that the child was too fat, with his facial features squeezed into a ball and a condescending expression.

He pointed at Fubao with his fat hand and said, "Dad, I want her to play with me! Buy her!"

Fubao was speechless for a moment, with veins throbbing on his forehead.

Before the adults could react, her brothers were all furious: "What did you say? Your family is the one that sells children! Get out!"

"My sister won't play with ugly people!" Yisheng's light words made the little fat boy in the carriage jump up in an instant.

Jia Yuanwai looked at his son being scolded and said, "Fifty taels! Sell her to me." Fifty taels of silver in those days was enough to buy a house in the town. Moreover, she was a worthless girl. They didn't know how grateful they should be, Jia Yuanwai thought while holding his big belly.

Li Shuangrong was furious: "I won't sell my daughter even if you give me a fortune! Get out of here!"

The little fat man shrank back in fear at his ferocious face, but then he looked at the servants around him: "Are you blind? Didn't you see him scolding me? Beat him up!"

The servants looked at each other and were about to take action when Xiao Shui drew his sword from behind and stepped forward quickly: "Just try if you dare."

Zhang Ercui held Fubao's hand and said to Xiaoshui, "Don't do it, let's go back."

Turning around and walking towards the tent, Jia Yuanwai didn't want to lose a man just after leaving the city, so he pretended to be tolerant and said, "You people are not worthy of my servants to fight. Get out of here, you ungrateful people."

The fat boy threw the greasy chicken drumstick in his hand out of the car window and hit Fubao: "You stinky girl, this is a reward from my master."

Fubao couldn't dodge in time and was hit in the face by the greasy bone: "Ah!"

Li Shuangrong felt distressed and quickly squatted down to look at her: "Where does it hurt? Daddy, take a look."

While everyone's attention was on the little girl, they drove away.
