The rural doctor is busy with farming, and her abstinent husband can't bear it

According to custom, after paying the bill, Su Yu temporarily stored the purchased items in the shop, and then went to buy bedding and cooking utensils.

When all this was done, she found that there was very little money left in her wallet and couldn't help but sigh.

It was already past noon and Su Yu was feeling hungry. He hurriedly bought two steaming buns from a roadside stall and ate them while walking.

She knew very well that she had to find a carriage willing to go to Willow Village as soon as possible, as the journey was long and there was no time to lose.

However, she was rejected by several carriage companies because she was carrying too many items and the journey was too long.

Even though Su Yu promised to pay double the wages, no driver was willing to take the job.

Occasionally there are one or two who are willing to consider it, but the price they offer is so high that it makes people shudder, forcing them to reconsider their strategy.

Not to mention that Su Yu's wallet was almost empty at the moment and she was almost ashamed to see people. Even if she was wealthy, she could not tolerate herself falling into the schemes of others for no reason and letting the money flow into other people's pockets like water.

The scene before her clearly showed that the drivers were in collusion with each other and had joined forces tacitly. They had targeted her, a weak woman, who was isolated and helpless in this strange place, and were certain that she would eventually have no choice but to beg for their help at a high price.

Su Yu was filled with resentment, like an autumn leaf swaying in the cold wind.

She was considering whether she should put aside her so-called self-esteem and turn back to the Lin family for help.

After all, the wife of the high-ranking Young Master still urgently needed her medical skills to treat her chronic illness. With the power of the Lin family, it was no problem for her to lend a helping hand.

But when he thought about how he had politely rejected their kindness in the early morning, he would feel embarrassed if he turned back and asked for help immediately.

However, such a difficult situation could not stump the intelligent Su Yu, and he could not let those black-hearted people who wanted to take advantage of the situation and ask for exorbitant prices succeed easily.

Just when they were in a dilemma, a man driving a car took the initiative to approach, with a sincere and cheerful look on his face, breaking the deadlock: "Girl, if you don't mind, I am willing to help you transport your goods. Just as you said before, double the price, how about we make a deal?"

"Really? That's great!"

A look of surprise instantly appeared on Su Yu's face, like the first ray of sunshine in spring, warm and bright.

Firstly, this move saved her the embarrassment of having to return to the Lin Mansion immediately; secondly, although it would cost a higher fee, Su Yu felt it was worth it as long as it was within an affordable range and the problem could be solved in a timely manner.

She was immersed in the joy of having the problem solved, but she did not notice the subtle and complex changes in the expressions of the people around her who were hesitant to speak.

Then, Su Yu and the coachman who offered to help, after some trouble, finally loaded the heavy goods onto the carriage one by one, and they did not stop until the carriage was almost creaking under the weight.

Su Yu jumped lightly and sat gracefully on the carriage covered with soft cushions. Despite the tiring journey, the riding conditions were comfortable and pleasant.

The driver followed, cheered up, and waved his whip. The carriage started slowly and headed towards the destination.

Along the way, Su Yu silently observed the driver's skilled driving skills, secretly memorizing every subtle movement and trick in his mind, thinking that if he frequently traveled to Ning County in the future, he might be able to deal with emergencies by mastering these skills.

When the carriage drove out of the city gate and accelerated on the road in the suburbs, Su Yu couldn't help but feel excited.

During these days away from home, she was always worried about everything at home, especially the clever, cute, and mute little girl Xier.

Although she cannot speak, Xier always uses her clear and bright eyes and delicate and considerate actions to silently convey her cleverness and cleverness, which makes people involuntarily feel pity for her.

The memory drifted back to the time when they went up the mountain to collect herbs. As the night deepened, the two had not returned home yet. It was Jiang Ziling who came anxiously looking for them, and it was not until late at night that the two of them staggered back.

Xier, a small figure at home, sat alone by the stove, without making any noise or making any noise, patiently adding firewood and boiling water, preparing to give Su Yu a warm bath.

At that moment, the jumping firelight in the stove illuminated Xier's tender face and was deeply imprinted in Su Yu's heart.

From then on, she made a silent vow in her heart that she would take good care of this ill-fated child and let her feel all the warmth and love in the world.

Just as Su Yu's mind was filled with thoughts and she was recalling those warm yet sad memories of the past, an indescribable uneasiness began to quietly grow in her heart.

She found that as the carriage moved forward, there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road, and the originally wide road gradually turned into a remote and narrow path.

Looking back on the scene when I first set foot in Ning County, I remember that the coachmen always chose wide and flat roads.

At this moment, she couldn't help but wonder why the driver chose to give up the wide official road and choose this winding and difficult road? Was it really as he said, this was a shortcut that could greatly save time?

"Hey, brother, are we going the wrong way?"

Su Yu couldn't help but ask, with a hint of doubt and uneasiness in his tone.

Hearing this, the driver replied calmly, "You're not wrong. I'm taking a shortcut for you so you can get home faster. Your home is so far away, and I have to hurry back for dinner!"

His answer seemed reasonable. Su Yu was eager to return home, so it would be a good thing if he could arrive early.

However, as the path became quieter and quieter, with no one around and only the sound of horse hooves on the gravel road, Su Yu became filled with doubts.

She wondered to herself, if there really was such a convenient path, why was it so little known? Were the other coachmen fools who knew nothing of the world?

This unnatural tranquility filled the air with an ominous atmosphere, and Su Yu's heart was also tightly entangled.

Surrounded by doubts, she couldn't help but recall the scene when she first met this man. It was an ordinary day and he took the initiative to volunteer to take on this task that seemed to be unpopular.

Why did so many drivers avoid him, but he was the only one who readily agreed, even revealing a hint of barely perceptible enthusiasm? Thinking about it now, all of this seemed to have hidden secrets, which made her alarm bells ring. An ominous thought gradually circled in her mind - could it be that she had accidentally fallen into the trap of a robber who wanted to kill her?

Su Yu's eyes were as sharp as torches, fixed tightly on the driver's narrow back. On the surface, he remained calm, but in fact, every nerve in his body was on high alert, wary of his every subtle movement and change in expression.

She prayed silently in her heart, hoping that this stranger was truly kind-hearted and was leading her through a shortcut in the wilderness, rather than being an evil person with ulterior motives.
