Lu Zhizhou's face darkened instantly. Is this atmosphere bad? Do we have to destroy it?

"Shengsheng..." Lu Zhizhou said helplessly.

Ruan Yunsheng coughed twice. She seemed to be a bit of a spoiler. "Let me check your injuries."

Ruan Yunsheng lifted up Lu Zhizhou's pants. He didn't expect that the effect would be so good after just one injection of the special medicine. "You have recovered very well. According to this calculation, you only need one more injection to recover from your injury. I didn't expect that you absorbed this special medicine so well."

This was indeed beyond her expectations. She thought she would need three or four injections, but she didn't expect that two injections would be enough. According to the schedule, she could get the second injection of the special medicine tomorrow.

"That's good. Shengsheng has worked hard today. Sleep on the cart. The ground is cold."

Ruan Yunsheng thought for a while and climbed onto the cart. The ground was indeed not as comfortable as the cart. Ruan Yunsheng leaned on Lu Zhizhou and soon fell asleep. Lu Zhizhou looked at Ruan Yunsheng's sleeping face and curled the corners of his mouth. It was a relief to let her sleep so peacefully.

"Shengsheng, I still owe you a perfect wedding night, wait for me to give it back to you." After saying that, Lu Zhizhou stretched out his hand through Ruan Yunsheng's waist, pulled her closer to his arms, and fell asleep holding her.

"Ahem, I told you guys we need to hurry on our way. Do you think you guys can get up now?"

Ruan Yunsheng opened her eyes sparsely. Pei Yan looked at them shyly with his body half turned sideways. Ruan Yunsheng suddenly remembered that she was still in Lu Zhizhou's arms and sat up with a "whoosh".

"Master Pei, why are you here? Isn't your leg almost recovered?"

Pei Yan: You still know that I am a government official? Who of us looks more like a government official now?

Pei Yan guaranteed that this was the umpteenth time that he doubted whether he was an official. Didn't Lu Zhizhou save Xiao Yi's life? Didn't Ruan Yunsheng save his life? Why did they act so humble?

"I'm here to inform you to get ready to go. The road ahead will be a bit difficult, so you need to be mentally prepared."

Lu Zhizhou seemed to have thought of something and suddenly became serious, "Are we going to Wangchuan Valley?"

"Yes, we must hurry today. If we can't get to the top of the cliff before dark, we will have to rest at the foot of the mountain for a night. However, there are bandits in the Forgotten Valley all year round. If we run into them, it will be troublesome."

"What happened to this Lethe Valley that scares you so much?"

Lu Zhizhou's eyebrows furrowed even more. He had heard of Wangchuan Valley. "Wangchuan Valley is called Wangchuan Valley because it is composed of two cliffs with a long ladder built in the middle. The ladder is the only way to cross Wangchuan Valley. The ladder is thousands of feet high, and below is a long and turbulent river. If you accidentally fall off the ladder and are swept into the river, there is no chance of survival. In addition, the mountain wind in the valley is unstable all year round, and people are often blown off the cliff by the mountain wind. Therefore, it is called 'Wangchuan Valley'. Not only that, if someone wants to cross Wangchuan Valley, they must cross it during the day, because there is a group of bandits at the foot of Wangchuan Valley. They only rob at night. Every bandit has martial arts skills, so local officials cannot catch them."

Ruan Yunsheng nodded, not quite understanding. She only understood one thing. If she wanted to go there, she had to go during the day. At night, she would encounter bandits. But if she passed the Wangchuan Valley, she might also encounter mountain winds that would blow her off the cliff. So, to sum it up in one word, '嘎'. No matter how she went or when she went, she might encounter嘎 at any time.

"Oh, it doesn't matter which way you go, so just go wherever you want."

Pei Yan almost lost his balance. "I am the official and you are the official. Hurry up and get off the bus."

Ruan Yunsheng jumped off the cart with one quick step, having almost forgotten about it. He had been so relaxed these past few days that he almost forgot that he was still a criminal.

Since Pei Yan didn't sit on the cart, Du Huaiming had no reason to continue pushing the cart. Seeing this, Chen Qingran took the initiative to come over to help.

"Yun Sheng, let me help you."

Before Ruan Yunsheng agreed to Chen Qingran, he pushed the cart away on his own. Lu Zhizhou, who was on the cart, had a dark face. If he had a choice, he really didn't want him to push the cart, but in order not to tire out Shengsheng, he had to endure it.

"I like Yunsheng, I believe you can tell." Chen Qingran glanced at Ruan Yunsheng who was walking in front and whispered to Lu Zhizhou. He didn't want Ruan Yunsheng to know that he liked her, as it would bring a burden to her. He didn't want to see Ruan Yunsheng unhappy.

"So what?" Lu Zhizhou raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect Chen Qingran to admit it so frankly. He couldn't help but look up to Chen Qingran.

"Nothing. So, my liking for her has nothing to do with her and I don't want her to know. I also don't have the right to tell you to be nicer to her. I just know that if you betray her one day, I will use my actions to tell you what I will do."

"You won't have that chance." Don't even think about kidnapping his wife.

"That would be better." Chen Qingran chuckled. He didn't want to take Ruan Yunsheng away one day. If that day really came, Ruan Yunsheng would definitely be very unhappy. He liked her to always be happy and carefree like before.

The scorching hot weather dealt a heavy blow to the people who had originally planned to reach the cliff before daytime. In such weather, even dogs gasped with their mouths wide open, let alone humans. The team was groaning, but they were afraid of the whips in the hands of the officers.

Chen Qingran's face began to turn pale due to the hot weather and long-term high energy consumption. Seeing this, Ruan Yunsheng walked over to help her push.

"No, I'm fine. Just walk carefully." Chen Qingran smiled gently at Ruan Yunsheng. Ruan Yunsheng felt even more guilty seeing this. This was originally the Lu family's business. Even though the Chen family was Madam Lu's maiden family, they had no obligation to help them all the time. It was tiring enough to travel quickly, not to mention pushing someone forward.

"Qingran, I'll help you." Ruan Yunsheng's firm tone made Chen Qingran stunned. This seemed to be the first time that Ruan Yunsheng took the initiative to call his name. Chen Qingran raised the corners of his mouth in contentment.

"Okay." With Ruan Yunsheng's help, Chen Qingran instantly felt relaxed, and his steps became faster. Lu Zhizhou listened to the direct conversation between the two with a dark face, feeling very unhappy, but when he thought about his current appearance, he had to endure it silently.

After walking for another hour, Ruan Yunsheng saw that the Lu family members were sweating profusely and their bodies began to become dazed. He frowned and his face was full of worry. Then he pushed the cart while using his mind to open his mobile phone to see if there was any medicine that could prevent heatstroke and restore their strength.

Ruan Yunsheng searched the entire Apple Mall but didn't see a single useful medicine. Discouraged, she flipped through the last page of special medicines. Unexpectedly, she saw a hydration pill that could quickly restore her strength. Isn't this what she needs now? Ruan Yunsheng was so happy that she wanted to exchange it, but when she saw the price, she was dumbfounded.
