It's good to exchange marriages. My sister eats coarse food while I wear gold and silver.

The flickering warm yellow candlelight dispelled the coldness on my body.

Meng Yingxue broke the pancake into pieces and put them into the wild vegetable soup. She also handed the hot rice paste to Yuan Buwei and said, "Mianmian is so well behaved. She slept when she was full and didn't cry or make a fuss. She just kept her eyes open and looked at us."

"Although children cannot speak, in fact, the younger the child, the more spiritual she is. She can feel that we are fleeing, so she has always been very sensible." Yuan Buwei started fleeing before she was even finished her confinement. In addition, she had to sleep in the open air, which resulted in insufficient milk, so she could only force her daughter to drink rice porridge.

Meng Yingxue added some more firewood to the fire and stirred the wild vegetable pancakes in the pot, whirring: "The closer we get to the border, the colder the weather will be. Adults can still bear it, but Mianmian is so young, I wonder if she can handle it?"

"When we get to the next town, let's buy some more cotton and sew it into our clothes to keep out the cold." Yuan Buwei looked at Meng Yingxue, "Thanks to your needlework skills. If you hadn't helped me take care of Mianmian along the way, I would have been caught before I even left Shan's."

"Sister, please don't say that. If you hadn't been calm and composed along the way, I wouldn't know what to do." Meng Yingxue held Yuan Buwei's hand. "Although we are both on the run and don't have many opportunities to communicate, these days have surpassed everything I learned at home. I am also fortunate to have a sister like you who can teach me."

Yuan Buwei saw that the pot was already boiling and immediately laughed: "Since we are sisters, there is no need for us to brag to each other like this. Let's eat first. You take Mianmian back to the carriage to sleep. I'll go see if there are any herbs nearby. We can exchange them for some silver when we get to town."

"Why don't we go together? I won't feel at ease if we go separately."

Yuan Buwei thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, let's eat first."

The taste of wild vegetables and pancakes is not that good.

But the two people, who were already starving, ate very happily and took a short rest.

Holding torches, they walked into the woods.

It was the quietest time of the day, and the forest was dark, and nothing could be seen clearly.

There was a thick layer of dead leaves under my feet, and they felt very soft when I stepped on them.

Suddenly.

Yuan Buwei noticed with her sharp eyes that there was a flickering fire in front of her.

She made a "hush" gesture to Meng Yingxue, squatted down, and held her breath.

"Why are there other people in this forest?" Meng Yingxue's eyes were full of fear. "What if they are bandits? If we fall into their hands, will we be dead?"

"I don't know, let's wait and see." Yuan Buwei replied in a low voice, holding her breath and watching it carefully.

"Master Qin, it's bad. Madam's water broke and she's about to give birth."

Suddenly a little girl came out of the small tent, and her words made everyone, who had been very quiet, immediately go crazy.

"what?"

The man called Master Qin jumped up and said, "It's so dark here. How can I find a midwife for her? Aren't you a woman? You can deliver the baby for her."

"I am a maid, not a midwife." The little maid stamped her feet anxiously, "Master Qin, please think of a solution quickly. If you keep dragging it on like this, both the Madam and the child will be lost."

"Then what can I do? I can't conjure up a midwife for her, can I?" Master Qin scratched his head and looked at the brothers squatting on the ground, "You guys hurry into the city and see if you can catch a midwife."

"Boss, the nearest town is more than 50 kilometers away, and we don't have horses. The round trip..."

"Go to hell." Master Qin kicked his subordinate on the buttocks, "Stop talking nonsense, just go if you are told to go."

"Ouch!"

The subordinate covered his buttocks and nodded, "Boss, don't be angry, I'll go now, right now."

After saying this, his back quickly disappeared into the night.

After thinking for a moment, Yuan Buwei turned her head and whispered something into Meng Yingxue's ear.

Meng Yingxue's eyes widened after hearing this: "Sister, we haven't figured out who is our friend or foe. If we go out rashly, what if they..."

"Who is there?!"

Qin Ye, who had sharp ears, heard someone talking in the darkness ahead. He shouted angrily, "Come out."

Meng Yingxue didn't expect the other party's hearing to be so good. She covered her mouth and looked at Yuan Buwei timidly.

"I'll count to three. If you don't come out, I'll shoot you with the arrow." Master Qin had already drawn the bow and aimed it at the place where he had heard the sound.

See if the other party is serious.

Yuan Buwei took a deep breath, raised the torch in her hand, and walked forward first.

When Meng Yingxue saw Yuan Buwei stand up and walk forward, she hesitated for three seconds and immediately followed.

"woman?"

When Master Qin saw clearly whether the other party was a human or a ghost, his eyes were full of doubts: "How could two women appear in the wilderness?"

At this moment, a woman's scream was heard from the tent.

The girl who had just gone in ran out again, but unlike the nervousness just now, this time she was panicking: "Master Qin, it's not good, Madam's fetus is in an abnormal position, I'm afraid it will be a difficult birth, you have to think of a solution quickly, otherwise, Madam will really..."

"I am Yuan Buwei, the closed disciple of the master of Medicine King Valley. I am proficient in medicine and poisons. Perhaps I can help your wife deliver the baby." Yuan Buwei took the opportunity to speak.

"Yaowang Valley?"

Master Qin frowned, with a look of vigilance in his eyes: "What evidence do you have to prove that you are from Medicine King Valley?"

"Master Qin, my sister and I escaped. This is my daughter, Mianmian, who was born less than two months ago. The lives of my wife and the child are the most important right now. If you want to know, you can ask me after I deliver the baby for my wife."

"Yes, my sister and I are fleeing. I can be a hostage to ensure that we are definitely not bad people." Meng Yingxue did not back down, but instead spoke up for Yuan Buwei.

Master Qin had seen many women, but this was the first time he had met such a courageous woman. He thought for a moment and thought that since there were only two women, they wouldn't be able to cause any trouble, so he threw the bow and arrow into his arms and said, "Okay, I'll trust you this time, but if anything happens to my sister and the child, this day next year will be your death anniversary."

"With these words from Master Qin, your sister and child will surely be able to escape danger!"

After Yuan Buwei finished speaking, she entered the tent under the guidance of the maid.

When Meng Yingxue saw Yuan Buwei come in, she looked around and after thinking about it, she decided to walk towards Mr. Qin.

In the light of the candle, Mr. Qin saw the appearance of the woman in front of him clearly. She had two big eyes on her palm-sized face. Maybe because she was really a fugitive, she was a little dusty, but like a pearl covered with dust.

But he was a little surprised that the woman didn't seem to be afraid of him.
