At the beginning, I saved a little mute

Wan Ruzhen was about to speak when her stomach suddenly growled.

She had never been so embarrassed.

Her tears were about to fall.

Song Zian shook his head and threw over an oil-paper bag.

"Eat a couple of bites first to fill your stomach."

Wan Ruzhen was in a bad mood, so she didn't eat anything after noon and went directly to Fufeng County. After seeing Jiang Zao, she was in a hurry to go to Jiang's house without eating.

I've been hungry for a long time.

It's just that I was in a state of high tension and didn't notice it.

Now that I've relaxed, I feel tired, hungry, sleepy and painful.

She had never experienced anything like this.

Now I smell the fragrance and hesitated before picking it up.

"what is this?"

Wan Ruzhen brushed off the dust.

"Pie."

The pancake was already cold, so Wan Ruzhen opened it and shared it with the spring roll, taking half each.

This cake is not only cold, but also hard.

Wan Ruzhen had never eaten it before, but she was extremely hungry, and she ate it all up without any soup or water.

There was still a little oil on my hands.

She wiped it carefully with her own handkerchief.

Tucked into the sleeve.

"Let's go." Song Zian said no more, turned around and walked out of the cave.

Wan Ruzhen hurriedly followed with Chunbing's help.

There was total silence outside the cave, which was a little eerie for a moment.

Wan Ruzhen and Chunbing followed Song Zian closely, not taking the path they rolled down, but another path.

This road was not easy to walk on. There were no torches or oil lamps, and one could only barely see the figures ahead by the moonlight.

Song Zian is a man of few words, and occasionally he would only say a word or two to be careful.

Wan Ruzhen was afraid and didn't dare to get close to him, so she could only snuggle with Chunbing.

I don’t know how long I walked, Wan Ruzhen even felt like her feet were no longer her own.

Song Zian suddenly stopped and asked, "Is the person in front looking for you?"

Wan Ruzhen stuck her head out, couldn't see clearly, but could see four tall figures.

She shrank back towards Chunbing in fear, "I don't know, I don't know him."

Song Zian squinted and looked at it.

Although the four men looked casual, he could tell that they were in a small formation.

And the clothes they wore were also the same.

so......

At this time, only one of the four people on the opposite side could be heard saying, "Sergeant, we haven't seen anyone yet, could it be that we are going in the wrong direction?"

"Impossible. Miss Wan and her maid are just two weak women. It is impossible for them to have gone far. Let's search carefully nearby."

Song Zian took a few steps back and walked behind Wan Ruzhen. "They are here to look for you. Go out now."

"How do you know? What if it's a bad guy?"

As they were at a distance, Wan Ruzhen didn't hear what they were saying.

Song Zian had good hearing, so he heard it clearly.

"No, I heard them talking about Miss Wan and the maid, they must be referring to you."

"I won't go. I'm afraid they are bad people."

Wan Ruzhen shrank back. Compared to the four strangers outside, at this moment, she trusted Song Zian more who gave her a big pancake to fill her stomach.

"I'm right here, watching you go. If they do anything bad to you, I'll come out to save you."

"I, I'm still scared. Can you follow me until I get back to a safe place?"

After he finished speaking, Song Zian didn't say anything, but Wan Ruzhen could sense his concern.

He immediately spoke up, "I, I mean, you saved me and my servant, and I want to repay you. As long as you follow me to Fufeng County, I will give you one hundred taels of silver as a reward."

Song Zian didn't care much about the first half of the sentence, but he was concerned about the second half.

One hundred taels...

To be honest, it is difficult for them to make so much money. If he had money, he could buy more things for the copycats.

It is very difficult for Dad to support the entire village.

He also hopes to do his part.

Besides, he was just following and had no intention of showing up.

"Okay, but I will only follow you secretly. I will ask you for money after it is safe."

"it is good."

Wan Ruzhen breathed a sigh of relief.

After tidying up her clothes, she walked out with Chunbing and said loudly, "Who is the warrior in front? I am Miss Wan."

"found it."

"over there."

......

Jiang Zao started to have a fever, and his forehead felt hot and cold.

Dongxue was also helpless.

"what happened?"

"Master, the young lady was extremely frightened and injured. The wound became inflamed and caused a fever. If the fever doesn't go away... the young lady will be in great danger."

Que Yunsheng looked solemn.

He held Jiang Zao's hand.

The hand was icy cold, then became hot, and the face was red, which looked abnormal at first glance.

"Go outside and find a doctor or a physician."

The clouds ascend to the Tao.

"Master, you also know that there are no doctors in Fufeng County, only two doctors. There are several pharmacies and doctors in the nearest Dingzhou City, but I am afraid that the young lady can't bear it if she keeps going back and forth."

How to do?

A complex array of emotions arose in Que Yunsheng's heart.

It was the first time he regretted that he had not learned medical skills well from his master and only knew the basics.

It would be nice if Master were here.

Suddenly, he stood up.

Even without a master, he still has his master's medicine.

When he fell off the cliff, the medicine bottle was firmly on his body and had never been used.

There's a pill in there.

According to the master, it can save your life at critical moments.

Thinking of this, Que Yunsheng could no longer sit still and ran to his room to get the small porcelain bottle.

Pour out a red pill the size of a mung bean.

He gritted his teeth and poured the liquid into Jiang Zao's mouth.

Then, following Dongxue's method, I rubbed her body from time to time to cool her down.

It was not until the next morning that Jiang Zao's fever finally went away.

Que Yunsheng lost strength and fell to the ground.

The faint light from outside the window shone on his pale face, making him look as if he had been seriously ill.

"Master..."

"Go check on Jiang Zao."

Dongxue hurried to take the patient's pulse.

After a long while, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Master, don't worry. Everything is fine now. The follow-up depends on the young lady's ability to recover. However, she should try to stay in bed and rest during this period, and eat less meat."

"Okay, you go down."

Dongxue hesitated for a moment.

Still, he said, "Master, Jinzhong and the other three have been kneeling outside all night. How do you punish them?"

"They failed to protect Jiang Zao, they all deserve to die." Que Yunsheng was so angry that he slammed the ground next to him.

He didn't feel any pain, but Jiang Zao, who was lying quietly on the bed, moved slightly.

Dongxue whispered, "Miss, you are feeling better now. Would it be bad to see blood?"

Que Yunsheng stood up and looked at Jiang Zao's body that was sleeping soundly.

Wave.

"Lock them up first and don't give them anything except water. Then punish them when Jiang Zao wakes up."
