"Okay, forget about the snake. Let's get to the next town while it's still light."

Pei Yan wanted to stand up but fell back as soon as he stood. He was poisoned and the wound on his leg had not healed yet, so he could not walk. There was only one stretcher and he couldn't let Lu Zhizhou get down.

"Don't even think about it. My husband is still seriously injured and can't be moved at will."

Ruan Yunsheng saw through Pei Yan's little thoughts and interrupted him immediately. There were many people who carried Pei Yan, but not many who carried his husband. She would not be stupid enough to give the stretcher to Pei Yan.

"come here."

Pei Yan pointed at Du Huaiming. Ruan Yunsheng had saved his life after all, so he couldn't be ungrateful. It was not difficult for him to be unable to walk.

"Carry me on your back."

Du Huaiming instinctively wanted to refuse, but when he saw the whip in Pei Yan's hand, he held back his impulse. He could only resign himself to his fate, squat down, and carry Pei Yan on his back.

Du Huaiming looked at Ruan Yunsheng with resentment, but Ruan Yunsheng ignored him, rolled his eyes at him and went to find the Lu family.

"Sister-in-law Qi, you are so amazing! You even killed the king cobra."

At this moment, Lu Yunruo held Ruan Yunsheng's arm with an admiring look on her face. She decided that from now on, Sister-in-law Qi would be her heaven. If Sister-in-law Qi told her to go east, she would never go west. If Sister-in-law Qi told her to go up the mountain, she would never go to the sea. If Sister-in-law Qi told her to hunt rabbits, she would never hunt chickens.

"Don't be obsessed with me. I'm just a legend." Ruan Yunsheng raised an eyebrow at her and an evil smile appeared on the right corner of her mouth. This almost sent Lu Yunruo away. Lu Yunruo felt that if she were a man, she would definitely fall in love with Seventh Sister-in-law.

"Yun Sheng, luckily you're okay. Next time something like this happens, don't get involved. What if you get hurt?" Old Madam Lu looked worried, and she was relieved to see Ruan Yunsheng return safely.

"Mom, I'm sorry to have made you worry. Don't worry, I won't do anything I'm not sure of. Pei Yan is the leader of the police, after all. After saving him, our journey to Southern Xinjiang will be easier."

Old Madam Lu and the sisters-in-law of the Lu family looked at her with gratitude. They said that they had taken care of Ruan Yunsheng along the way, but in fact, it was Ruan Yunsheng who had been taking care of them in secret.

"Mom knows that you are a child with your own opinions, but now is different than before. You must pay attention to your own safety."

"Mom, I understand. Let's pack up and get ready to go."

Ruan Yunsheng felt very warmed by Mrs. Lu's concern. Although they didn't spend much time together, she remembered all the kindness the Lu family had shown her during these days.

The Lu family had finished packing, and the two brothers of the Chen family also came over, "Thank you for your hard work, uncles."

"We are all family. You were awesome just now. Your uncles are ashamed that we couldn't help you."

There was no blame for Chen's uncle Ruan Yunsheng. After all, they also had wives and daughters. Helping them was a favor, and not helping them was also a duty.

"My uncle's condition is serious. If it weren't for the uncles helping to lift Lu Zhizhou, we would be exhausted to death."

The two uncles of the Chen family nodded and lifted Lu Zhizhou from the ground.

Perhaps because Pei Yan was anxious to get to the town as soon as possible to get the medicine for detoxification, he did not rest once along the way and stopped at an inn not far from the town.

"A bed costs ten taels of silver per room, which can accommodate seven to ten people. A triple room costs five taels of silver, and a double room costs three taels of silver. The cowshed is free."

Except for the Lu family, the other families here are penniless and have no choice but to live in the cowshed.

"Brother officer, I need two triple rooms, one double room, and a bed-bed."

A triple room is definitely more comfortable than a kang. Two triple rooms are given to Madam Lu and the Lu sisters-in-law. As for the kang, it was bought for the Chen family. The reason why they were not given a triple room as well was because they were afraid of whet their appetites, which would be difficult to handle on the long journey ahead.

"Okay, you saved our leader, you can call me Xiao Yi from now on."

"Anyone else need a room?"

The other families looked very jealous. They also wanted a room if possible. This was much more comfortable than living in a cowshed.

Seeing that no one wanted the room, Xiao Yi opened a room for them according to Ruan Yunsheng's request. Ruan Yunsheng gave Xiao Yi twenty-three taels of silver, and Xiao Yi handed her the door number.

Ruan Yunsheng got the house number and gave the triple room to the old lady of the Lu family and the fourth sister-in-law, "Mom, you and the eldest sister-in-law Yunruo will live in this triple room, and this one will be given to the third, fourth and fifth sister-in-laws. Is that okay with you?"

"It's up to you to decide. But Yun Sheng, is it really okay for us to spend so much when we're just starting out?"

Old Madam Lu was beginning to feel nervous. It was still a long way to the southern border, and she was worried about what she would do if she spent all the money now.

"Don't worry, mother. I know what's going on. I have the money. You just need to take good care of yourself and make sure you can reach southern Xinjiang safely."

Mrs. Lu was about to say something when she was interrupted by Ruan Yunsheng, who gave her the house number of another room on the kang, "Mom, this room is for my uncle and his family. Just say thank you to them for helping us carry Lu Zhizhou."

Old Madam Lu took the doorplate. She actually knew that Ruan Yunsheng said this just to give them a reason to accept it. If she gave it to them directly and they didn't get any benefits in the future, it might affect the relationship between the two families. And now, telling them directly that this house was to repay them for their kindness in raising Lu Zhizhou.

"Thank you."

"Mom, what are you talking about? Lu Zhizhou is seriously injured now and I need to treat him alone, so I can't live with you."

Old Madam Lu nodded. She had already thought of the worst-case scenario during her exile, and now she was already very good and satisfied with this.

"Thank you for your hard work. You didn't get a good rest during the whole journey. It's a good opportunity to take a good rest tonight."

"I know, mother."

At this time, the two uncles of the Chen family had already carried Lu Zhizhou down the stairs. Old Madam Lu gave the doorplate to the uncles of the Chen family. The two were reluctant to accept it at first, as they knew how precious silver was on the road of exile. However, after Old Madam Lu quoted Ruan Yunsheng's words, saying that she was thanking them for carrying Lu Zhizhou, the uncles of the Chen family finally accepted it.

Accepting this house can be regarded as paying off this favor. "Thank you, sister. Let's go back and settle our parents first."

Except for the Lu and Chen families who moved into the house, the Ye, Du and Li families had to live in the cowshed. The cowshed was stuffy, hot and smelly, and the three families were vomited by the fumes before they even entered.

But they have no money and this cowshed is their only choice. If they don't live in the cowshed, they can only live outside. What if they encounter a king cobra again? Everyone can only silently endure the smell of the cowshed. It's better to have a smell than to lose their lives.

When Ruan Yunsheng returned to the room, Lu Zhizhou had already opened his eyes and was half-supporting his body with his arms. Seeing this, Ruan Yunsheng quickly closed the door to prevent others from seeing him.

"Are you okay?" Lu Zhizhou looked at Ruan Yunsheng nervously. He heard everything about Ruan Yunsheng's battle with the king cobra. How he wanted to get up and protect him at that time, but the fact was that he could only watch Ruan Yunsheng in danger. He panicked at that moment.
