I became a concubine in the palace and cured my master's hidden disease.

Lin Yan sat in the car, secretly cursing Thirteen countless times in her heart: This disloyal guy actually had the nerve to say that we would meet at Baijing Villa in Hanyue Mansion, Yangzhou in a year. By then, I'm afraid he would sell me out again.

Whatever, now that things have come to this, let's just enjoy life first. As for the rest, we can talk about it later.

Green Tea was no longer as worried as she was in the past few days. Instead, she followed Lin Yan peacefully and protected her wholeheartedly.

Lin Yan's heart was as open as the sea. As the donkey cart went farther and farther away, she looked at the picturesque landscape along the way, and her fear of Zhao Yuan gradually faded away. The mountains were high and the rivers were long. Even if Zhao Yuan knew, what could he do?

While taking a break, Lin Yan saw a young couple resting on the roadside. Although they lived in poverty, they supported each other and were full of love and warmth. This scene reminded Lin Yan of a person - Zhao Yuan.

Zhao Yuan's figure unexpectedly appeared in her mind again. Lin Yan began to imagine how great it would be if she and Zhao Yuan could support each other and love each other like this couple!

However, this fantasy only lasted for a while, and Lin Yan couldn't help but laugh at herself. She thought to herself: "Why am I so useless? I have already decided to leave him, why do I still think about these unrealistic things? Since I have made a choice, I should move forward firmly and completely forget the past."

However, knowing is not difficult, but doing is difficult. How easy is it to completely forget the person who brought her endless torture when she first came into the world and said he loved her? Those beautiful pasts will always suddenly emerge at a certain moment, lingering in her heart, making it difficult to let go...

After several days of traveling, the donkey cart finally arrived at a place called Poison Bee Mountain, which was steep and full of peaks, looking very mysterious and dangerous.

At this moment, a group of buzzing wasps suddenly flew out. These wasps were huge, and their wings flashed with strange light, which made people shudder. The donkey was frightened by the wasps and raised its hooves and struggled desperately. No matter how the driver drove it, it refused to move forward even a step.

In a panic, the driver hastily chose a route, but with a loud "clang", the wheel of the rickshaw fell into the ditch on the side of the road. The body of the rickshaw tilted and half of it had sunk into the ditch on one side.

The driver got off the cart and checked the situation. He frowned and said, "My two guests, the wheel is stuck and the donkey's hoof is injured. It is difficult for me to pull the cart out by myself. I have to go forward for a while to find someone to help. But I am afraid it will take some time and I may not be able to come back for a while. It is getting dark and this place is not very safe. You should continue to go forward by yourselves. There is a village not far ahead where you can stay."

After the driver finished speaking, he pulled up the injured donkey, then left Lin Yan and the others behind without looking back and walked forward on his own.

Lin Yan and Lu Cha looked at the driver going away, feeling helpless and panicked. Although they had no experience in long-distance travel and could not handle any unexpected situation in the wilderness, they still had some common sense.

Green Tea scolded the irresponsible driver over and over again, but still could not change the current predicament. There seemed to be no better way than to keep moving forward.

So they had no choice but to grit their teeth and decide to follow the driver's instructions and spend the night in a village not far ahead.

But after walking for most of the day, I still couldn't see even the slightest outline of a village.

"Miss, I always feel that what the coachman said is a little unreliable?" Green Tea was so tired that her back and waist ached, and she couldn't help complaining.

"Who knows? Let's walk a little further. It's getting dark!" Lin Yan couldn't help but feel an ominous premonition in her heart.

The two of them were each carrying a bag, and at first they were able to maintain a relatively fast pace, but as time went by, their steps became heavier and heavier, and their speed gradually slowed down. The sun gradually set, and the moon was looming.

At this moment, a wolf howl suddenly echoed around. Lin Yan and Green Tea were terrified and hugged each other tightly. They both knew what kind of danger they might face next.

"Miss, what should we do?" Green Tea was so anxious that she almost cried.

"How should I know what to do?" Lin Yan realized the seriousness of the matter for the first time.

What bad luck! I only wanted to escape, but I was so stupid as to forget that transportation was backward in ancient times. It was normal for wolves to appear in the wilderness. Am I really going to die in the mouth of a wolf tonight?

Wild beasts are usually afraid of fire, but now there is not even a flint on me! Is it only possible to make fire by rubbing two sticks together? Shaking my head, it would take too much time to make fire by rubbing two sticks together, and the wolves would pounce on me in a blink of an eye, and it would be too late. What should I do? Should I just sit there and wait for death? I finally saved my life, and it would be hard to give up so easily.

There are only weeds, rocks and trees on both sides of the official road. Perhaps we can make good use of these resources.

"Tree!" Lin Yan's gaze finally stopped on a big tree.

"According to the records in the book, wolves cannot climb trees. Let's find a slightly taller tree to climb up, and then continue on our way after daybreak." Lin Yan said, looking at the big tree next to them.

However, when the two stood under the tree, they found that the problem was far more serious than they had imagined.

"Miss, I can't climb up!" Green Tea tried several times, but failed every time.

"I can't climb either, and I don't want to die." After saying that, Lin Yan thought quickly and chose the next best option, a smaller tree with more branches nearby.

The two men pushed and shoved each other, their arms and legs all scraped and the skin was peeled off, but they managed to climb up, estimated to be about two meters above the ground.

"Is that okay?" Green Tea was a little scared and didn't dare to climb up anymore.

Lin Yan was also a little worried. They couldn't climb a tall tree, and the tree they could climb was really small. They had already reached the bottom. If they continued to climb up and the wolf didn't come, or the branch broke first, then there would be no hope at all.

It was already dark, and one could not see one's hand in front of one's face. The sound of the wolf was getting closer and closer. Lin Yan hugged the slightly shaking tree trunk tightly, praying that the branch would not break.

Green Tea was at Lin Yan's lower right hand side, her feet hurting from stepping on the tree branch. She had been raised like a young lady as a maid for many years, and her legs and feet were weak. She began to tremble uncontrollably: "Young lady, this height is too low. What if the wolf jumps up like a dog?"

"Cold it!" Lin Yan said helplessly, feeling lost and at a loss. She could only pray silently. As long as she could survive tonight, she vowed to buy a sharp knife and a reliable flint to carry with her.

In the bushes, a pair of eyes flashing with strange green light loomed. Lin Yan was filled with fear, her palms were sweating from nervousness, and she even felt that she was about to lose her grip on the tree trunk behind her.

"Miss!" Green Tea on the side whispered.

"Don't make any noise!" Lin Yan stopped him hurriedly.
