Xie Tianlin could not help but be shocked by Su Lun's skills again. He could not imagine that this young man had only practiced martial arts for more than a month, but he already had such amazing skills! Such an outstanding talent was really amazing! As the saying goes, "A blessing in disguise", although he lost a lot of his trusted elites this time, being able to meet a talent like Su Lun was also a kind of compensation. The scene of Su Lun risking his life to protect him was still vivid in his mind. Xie Tianlin hurriedly walked to Su Lun's side, carefully helped him up, and asked with concern: "Mr. Su, are you okay? Let me help you up."

"Thank you for your concern, sir. I'm fine, just a little exhausted." Su Lun's face looked quite pale at this time, and his lips were slightly pale.

"You seem to be injured. I will do some simple treatment for you first. After we arrive in Jinzhou, we will find a doctor to treat you. Please be patient." As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Tianlin gently helped Su Lun up and walked towards the carriage. Although Su Lun felt a little embarrassed and wanted to refuse, he could only thank him softly because he was weak.

"Mr. Su, you are so polite! You have saved me from crisis many times. If I have to say thank you, it should be me who thanks you." Xie Tianlin said with a smile and a very gentle tone.

Su Lun quickly took out the medicine, then tore open his sleeve to take a closer look, and found that the previous wound had indeed split open. The wound on the arm was easier to apply medicine, but the wound on the shoulder was a bit tricky. Seeing this, Xie Tianlin hurriedly took the medicine bottle, carefully applied the ointment to him, and said with concern: "Fortunately, you are thoughtful and prepared these precious medicinal materials in advance, otherwise we would be in real trouble now." Xie Tianlin expressed his appreciation for Su Lun from the bottom of his heart.

"Thank you for your praise, sir. These are just some trivial matters. My injuries are not serious, please rest assured. It is not advisable to stay here for long, let's move on as soon as possible." Su Lun responded softly.

"Indeed, you take a rest first, I'll go pack up the arrows, and then we'll set off immediately." As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Tianlin walked to the black-clothed man, pulled out the arrows stuck in his body one by one and wiped them clean, then returned to the carriage. Then, the two of them set out on their journey again, but this time, in order to prevent Su Lun's wound from rupturing again, Xie Tianlin insisted that Su Lun rest well in the car, while he drove forward himself.

Su Lun sat in the carriage and carefully unpacked several pieces of dried meat and several hard buns, soaking them in water from a pottery jar to make them slightly softer and more delicious. He made sure that the food and water sources were clean and sanitary, after all, it was important to maintain physical strength and replenish water during a long journey. After completing these preparations, he took a short nap to let his tired body recover a little.

Then, Su Lun walked out of the carriage, sat on the outside of the carriage, faced Xie Tianlin, and proposed to take over his driving job: "Mr. Xie, I feel much better now. How about I drive for you? You just went through a hard battle and must be very tired. You should have a good rest."

Although Xie Tianlin's face revealed obvious fatigue, when he noticed the wound on Su Lun's body that had not yet healed, he couldn't help but reveal his worry: "Your wounds..."

Su Lun quickly interrupted him and consoled him with a smile, "Don't worry, sir. My injuries are mainly on my left side and are not very serious. My right hand can still flexibly control the reins, so driving the carriage is not a problem."

After listening to Su Lun's words, Xie Tianlin pondered for a moment and nodded: "In that case, you will be in charge of the driving for the time being, and we will take turns to rest, rotating every half an hour. This will ensure driving safety and give us enough rest time."

Upon hearing this, Su Lun nodded in obedience and said, "Okay, sir, you can go in and rest. Leave the matters of the carriage to me." After saying this, he solemnly took the reins, and with his driving skills that he had gradually mastered over the past two days, he drove the carriage away at a gallop, without looking like a novice at all.

After running for more than an hour, the carriage gradually slowed down, for no other reason than that the horses needed to eat. At this time, there seemed to be a town not far ahead, like an oasis in the desert.

"Master Xie, the horse can't run any longer. There is a town ahead. Can we go there to rest for a while?"

Xie Tianlin got out of the carriage and sat outside. He looked around and saw a small town about half a mile away. "Let's go to the front and see if there are any restaurants or teahouses to rest for a while." After saying that, he patted the horse's neck gently.

In order to save time, the two chose a small restaurant near the roadside. It was the 9th hour, and the owner was the only one in the restaurant. "Hey, please take a seat, two guests, and have some tea first. The restaurant has just opened, so you may have to wait a while if you want to eat," the owner said enthusiastically.

"Boss, we are in a hurry. Do you have any ready-made food? Please bring some up. Also, our horses are hungry. Can you help feed them?" After saying this, Xie Tianlin took out five taels of silver and placed them on the table.

"Yes, yes, yes. Please sit for a moment. I'll bring it to you and then go feed your horses." The shop owner's eyes lit up. You know, it's hard for a small restaurant like his to earn even five taels of silver a month.

After the shop owner finished speaking, he quickly went into the kitchen and soon took out a tray. On it were two bowls of mung bean porridge, a plate of peanuts, a plate of pickles, and a plate of braised meat, like exquisite pieces of art.

"My two guests, I'm really sorry. These are the only things we have in our store right now. You two can eat them first. I'll get more if there's not enough. I'll go feed your horses first." The store owner said attentively.

"Mr. Su, eat quickly." Seeing Su Lun in a daze, Xie Tianlin reminded him.

"You eat first, I'll go see the horses." As soon as Su Lun said this, he wanted to get up.

Xie Tianlin quickly stopped him and said, "Mr. Su, please sit down and eat. Don't bother with the formalities at this time. You will have strength only if you are full. Besides, you are injured, so you must not be careless."

Su Lun had no choice but to sit down and eat the mung bean porridge in the bowl silently. After a while, the porridge was almost gone. Seeing this, Xie Tianlin took a new pair of chopsticks, picked up a large plate of braised meat and put it in Su Lun's bowl, "Mr. Su, don't be polite, eat more, the wound will heal faster."

"Thank you, young master!" A warm current surged through Su Lun's heart, like a spring breeze blowing through his heart.

After they finished eating, the shop owner came in. "Boss, please pack two more portions of this braised meat for us, and fill our kettles with water."

"Okay, no problem."

The two men rested for a while, and when the horses had finished eating the food and grass, they got up and set off, disappearing into the distant horizon like an arrow.
