Divorce the bad husband, store grain fields, and marry the emperor's uncle for the second time

Yeniu Ridge is located in the back mountain of Jinqiao Township where Luojiazhuang is located. The ridge is high, the forest is dense and the terrain is steep.

However, there is a narrow mountain path, only as wide as a door, leading into the ridge.

But almost no one dared to enter through the small mountain path to hunt or collect herbs.

Because many people said that there were many bandits living behind that mountain road.

The county government once sent people to suppress the bandits, but no matter how many people went in, no one came out.

Fortunately, they did not harass the residents living at the foot of the mountain, so the county government ignored them.

The villagers were afraid of them and had to stay away from them.

Never dare to go near here.

Today, Xia Xiaorou came boldly, and Doctor Chen and Song Yanbai both advised with bitter faces, "Xiaorou, you'd better not go in." Song Yanbai glanced at Xiaoshandao with a worried look on his face.

The mountains before him were steeper and more desolate than he had imagined.

Doctor Chen was so frightened when he heard the crows cawing everywhere that his legs and stomach were shaking.

"Just follow me in and I'll keep your lives safe." Xia Xiaorou pushed the two of them.

But Song Yanbai and Doctor Chen still refused to go in. They looked at each other, standing there in confusion.

"Do you want me to protect you?" A kind voice suddenly came from behind them.

Doctor Chen and Song Yanbai both looked behind them.

They recognized the guards around Yan Heng and were overjoyed. "Good guard? Are you here to protect Madam Xia?"

As long as there is kindness, they will not be afraid.

Kindness is much more powerful than Xia Xiaorou.

No matter how much Xia Xiaorou guaranteed, she was just a weak woman. She had difficulty even killing a goat, so how could she protect them?

To protect people, you have to be a kind and big man.

Shanliang rode his horse closer, dismounted and saluted Xia Xiaorou, "Madam Xia, Shanliang was passing by and saw you here, so I came to greet you."

Doctor Chen and Song Yanbai were disappointed when they heard that Shanliang was just passing by. "Ah? You were just passing by? Madam Xia is your master's fiancée, you don't want to protect her? You want to leave?"

"I didn't say I was leaving. If Madam Xia has any instructions, I will definitely obey them." Shanliang glanced at the two of them and said.

Xia Xiaorou raised her eyebrows, "Alright, please be kind and follow me into Bison Ridge."

"Yes, Madam Xia." She bowed kindly.

Doctor Chen and Song Yanbai both breathed a sigh of relief.

The carriage could not go through the narrow mountain road, so Shanliang suggested untying the horse and letting Xia Xiaorou ride, while Doctor Chen and Song Yanbai walked.

They hid the carriage in the dense forest and followed Xia Xiaorou into the mountain path.

After walking about a mile, the view in front of me suddenly opened up.

Although it is also a mountain road, it is several times wider than the previous road.

After walking another mile or two, we saw a number of neatly arranged houses.

The houses are neat, clean and tall, mostly made of brick or wood, without a single mud house, which shows that the living conditions of the people here are not bad.

There were quite a few people moving around in front of and behind the house.

Next to the house is a flat open area where groups of horses are kept.

Song Yanbai pointed at the horse and asked Xia Xiaorou, "Xiaorou, so you want to borrow their horse?"

"But they are bandits, how could they lend it so easily?" Doctor Chen asked in surprise.

"They are not bandits, Doctor Chen. When we meet their people later, we will just get along with them like the villagers." Xia Xiaorou reminded.

Doctor Chen was still worried that the people ahead would kill and rob, so he quickly shut up and said, "Got it, Madam Xia."

The three followed Xia Xiaorou and walked towards the row of houses.

Song Yanbai and Doctor Chen walked very carefully, fearing that they would step on the grass and leaves and be caught and beheaded by the people here. Shanliang, on the other hand, looked around with curiosity.

Only Xia Xiaorou looked relaxed, as if she was walking in the village.

Soon, someone discovered these intruders.

"Who are you? How dare you break into our farm! Get out! If you dare to go any further, don't blame us for being rude!" Several men, holding farming tools, rushed towards them with fierce looks on their faces.

These people are all big and strong and look very difficult to deal with.

Doctor Chen and Song Yanbai were so frightened that they hurriedly hid behind Xia Xiaorou and Shanliang.

Shanliang rode forward, blocked Xia Xiaorou's way, drew his knife and pointed it at the five or six people rushing towards him, "Put down your things and talk properly!"

"You asked us to lay down our weapons? Why are you still holding a knife?" The big man in the lead waved his hoe and pointed at Shanliang with a sneer, "Get out of here! If you dare to move forward again, I won't be polite!"

"Shanliang, we are here to ask for help. Why did you draw your sword? Put it down!" Xia Xiaorou rode over and waved to Shanliang.

"Madam Xia, please be careful about what they have in their hands." Shanliang hurried to stop Xia Xiaorou.

"You step back, I'll talk to them." Xia Xiaorou ignored Shanxin and nodded to the big man in the lead, "Master Hu, when I was a kid, I accidentally broke into your manor. Thank you for taking care of me and not letting me get wet in the rain. Today I'm here to repay you."

Hu Kui opened his eyes wide and looked at Xia Xiaorou, "You came here when you were a child?"

"Yes, when I was eight years old." Xia Xiaorou smiled slightly, "How is your wife? That day, I ate the pancakes and rice soup she sent me. I have never forgotten the taste until now. They were the most delicious pancakes and rice soup I have ever eaten in my life."

Xia Xiaorou smiled and nodded at Hu Kui.

Hu Kui scratched his head. He really couldn't remember when he had rescued a little girl. However, they had saved many people in their village, so maybe he had really saved this girl some year.

He waved his hand, "It's just a small matter, not worth mentioning."

"It may be a small matter to you, but it is a big matter to me. If your village hadn't saved me, I would have frozen to death that day." Xia Xiaorou said, "I heard that Hu Manor Master's son Abao has been coughing and has been looking for a doctor. I happened to know a doctor with excellent medical skills, and I wanted to bring him to see Abao's illness."

When Hu Kui heard Xia Xiaorou mention his son's name again, he became more convinced that Xia Xiaorou had been here when she was a child.

He nodded to Xia Xiaorou, "Do you know a good doctor? That's great. By the way, who is the doctor?"

"This Doctor Chen is an amazing medical skill." Xia Xiaorou said, pointing at Doctor Chen.

Hu Kui's son had a persistent cough and had consulted many doctors, but none of them could cure him. Hu Kui was so anxious that he even wanted to ask gods for help.

When they heard that there was a doctor, they did not ask about his age or how many years he had been treating patients. They happily welcomed Dr. Chen in and said, "That's great. Come in."

He waved to the people around him, "Everyone, please leave. We are old acquaintances."

Although everyone disliked the kind-hearted rudeness, seeing that Xia Xiaorou was a weak woman and did not seem to be there to cause trouble, they all gave way.

Hu Kui brought Xia Xiaorou and others to his house.

A child in his early teens was sitting on a small stone bench in front of the house, coughing all the time.

When Doctor Chen saw the child, he took two quick steps forward and said, "But this child? He is coughing badly indeed."

"Alas, I have not been able to cure him, Doctor Chen. As long as you can treat him well, I will set a high price for the consultation." Hu Kui said generously.

Xia Xiaorou looked at the horses on the open space next to the house, "Master Hu, if Doctor Chen can cure your son's illness, can you lend me some horses?"
