Shu He turned around and saw the people outside the door scattering like frightened birds, as if being chased by a demon. Only an elderly woman with a basket hanging from her waist stood there, her face filled with fear, as if she was about to speak but hesitated.

After a while, she mustered up the courage to say, "You, run for your life! You've killed someone, and the government will chop off your head!"

After hearing this, Shu He's cold expression softened slightly. But she ignored her and simply closed the wooden door in the backyard, isolating the woman from the world. Then, she carried Xiao Yi'er to the front yard.

She wanted to find some silver needles. Xiao Yier was too weak. If she wasn't treated in time, she might not live for more than an hour.

Having lived here for four years, she knew the farm like the back of her hand. Without much effort, she found the medicine box on the farm.

She opened Xiao Yi'er's clothes, her eyes frozen in time, then filled with heartache. Her tiny body was covered in bruises, her thin skin clinging tightly to bones that seemed vulnerable to breaking. The shapes of her bones were clearly visible...

"Xiao Yi'er!"

Shu He's heart was broken! It had been thirty years since she left the other world. The only thing that kept her going was this child she had never met. But she had never expected that when they met again after returning, this would be the scene...

Her little Yi'er was treated like this! !

She quickly gave the injection to save Xiao Yier's life as much as possible.

"Dad, uncles and aunts! She's in there! Our servant has gone crazy! She broke my mother's leg! Go and save her!"

Chen Xiaohe's panicked voice approached from afar, and the chaotic footsteps were enough to indicate that there were many people outside. However, even so, Shu He's acupuncture hand remained as steady as a rock, unaffected by anything.

"You, why are you here?!" Chen Xiaohe originally wanted to take Chen Sanhei and several uncles to the backyard to rescue Chen Pozi, but when passing by the front hall, she saw Shu He putting Xiao Yier on the table and didn't know what he was doing.

Chen Sanhei quickly followed Chen Xiaohe and saw that she was actually giving her own child an injection!

Is she really crazy? She can even kill her own child?

Shu He ignored Chen Xiaohe and concentrated on acupuncture. With just one more injection, she would be able to stabilize Xiao Yier's condition.

"Where's my mother?!" Chen Xiaohe was worried about Mrs. Chen and immediately ran to the backyard to check on her. But the scene she saw made her scream uncontrollably. "Ah!! Mom!!"

Chen Sanhei heard something was wrong and went to check the situation. Unexpectedly, he saw his wife lying in a pool of blood with the familiar pair of scissors stuck in her neck.

He was shocked, angry, and a little scared at the same time. Thinking of his past behavior, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat!

She actually dared to kill someone!!

He rushed to the front hall, intending to deal with Shu He, but found that the several strong men he brought with him had fallen in a pool of blood and were dead.

Those guys were the strongest men in Zhuangzi's body! How, how could they die so quietly?

Xiao Yier had already put on her clothes and wrapped herself in a quilt. Although it was early winter, the weather in Yuancheng was still too cold. If she hadn't come back at this time, Xiao Yier might not have survived this winter.

Shu He walked towards Chen Sanhei with a dagger in his hand and covered in blood.

"Little, miss..."

Shu He was covered in mud and blood, and her messy, dry hair was black and red, and it was hard to tell whether it was mud or blood. Her originally beautiful face was now covered in blood, and there was a strange smile on the corner of her mouth. Even the devil crawling out of hell was not one ten-thousandth as scary as her!

Chen Sanhei, who had toiled on the farm for half his life, had never seen such a scene before. He wanted to run away immediately.

……

Half an hour later, Yuancheng's guards arrived to investigate after receiving a report. Upon opening the door, they were met with a stench of blood. Suppressing their discomfort, they ventured inside to discover seven or eight bodies scattered across the farm. And the murderer had vanished without a trace.

Based on the local investigation, the government drew a portrait of the perpetrator and posted it in Yuancheng and its surrounding areas.

As Shu He walked to the city gate with Xiao Yi'er in her arms, she happened to see her own portrait. However, after seeing the portrait, she couldn't help but sneer. The painters in this small place were too poor!

Just as she entered the city as if no one was around, a black carriage passed by her. She turned her eyes and saw the curtain inside the carriage lifted, revealing a face that made her stop.

It was a face of breathtaking beauty. Delicate features, a calm expression, and a pair of lazy yet faintly sharp eyes that seemed to pierce through a person's heart. His dark robe accentuated his skin, white as jade, flawless and beautiful, as if he were not of this world.

Coincidentally, his gaze also passed over her face, but he lowered the curtain without causing any ripples.

His identity should not be revealed to the public for the time being.

However, the moment he lowered the curtain, a hint of doubt instantly rose in his dark and deep pupils. He opened the curtain again and looked outside, but the woman was no longer outside the car.

"Cousin, what's wrong?"

A woman's clear and pleasant voice rang out from inside the car, with a hint of surprise. Why did the man, who had always been restrained, suddenly become emotional?

The man's eyes darkened slightly. He didn't respond to her, but asked Nan Qi beside her, "Who is the commander of the Yuancheng Defense Army now?"

"My Lord, it's Zhang Zhiyi. He's a descendant of the Zhang family branch in the capital. He's quite capable, but because he's not a direct descendant of the Zhang family, he can only be sent out to serve as an official and has no chance of returning to the capital."

The man nodded, thinking he was a good candidate. He then said, "Pack up, we'll return to Beisha City tomorrow."

Nanqi replied in a low voice: "Yes."

Shu He suppressed the inexplicable waves in his heart, with a bit of anger on his face, and couldn't help but curse inwardly, "Why are there so many enemies?!"

Thirty years had passed, and the man was still as stunningly beautiful as ever. Unfortunately, her feelings for him, tempered by time, had lost their former passion and impulse. Besides, he must now be disgusted with her, like a scourge. After all, she had used such means to get him...

Looking back at the past scenes now, they always reveal a touch of unusualness and strangeness, but she didn't have the mind to think about it at this moment. She had to save Xiao Yier's life first!

In the distance, a large pharmacy was bustling with people. The plaque read "Shou Ren Tang." This was the largest pharmacy in Yuancheng. I hoped I could buy the medicine to save Xiao Yi'er there.

"Doctor Xu! Doctor Xu, help me!"

Before Shu He could even step into the pharmacy, an anxious voice rang out. He turned around slightly and saw a young man dressed as a servant running into the front hall of the pharmacy carrying a young man in gorgeous clothes on his back.

The pharmacy clerk heard the voice and rushed over to greet him. When he saw the person, he looked a little panicked. "Is this Young Master Zhang having another attack?"

"Xiao Sanzi, hurry up and get Doctor Xu! Our young master is unconscious again!"

The servant's face was filled with anxiety, and the sweat on his forehead was not sure if it was from exhaustion or fear. If anything really happened to the young master, he would be buried with him!

The people who were getting medicine in the pharmacy consciously made way for the newcomer and stood quietly by. As soon as they saw his clothes, they knew he was not an ordinary person.

Someone recognized the young master and immediately exclaimed, "Isn't this the young master of General Zhang's mansion? He's sick again!"

"you know?"

"How could I possibly have the qualifications to know such a person?" The man chuckled, his tone tinged with bitterness and envy. "This is the younger brother of General Zhang of the Garrison Army. He's been extremely pampered in the mansion because he's suffered from poor health since childhood. I heard that the old lady of the general's mansion has sought the help of many famous doctors in the world to save this little grandson, but none of them have been able to cure him. She's been so worried about him every day that she's become ill."

"General Zhang of the Yuancheng Garrison? The Zhang Zhiyi who, at such a young age, rose to the rank of fourth-rank commander of the garrison thanks to his impressive military exploits?"

"That's right! He was a brave general who killed countless enemies on the frontier! Ever since General Zhang came to our Yuan City, the banditry outside the city has calmed down a lot!"

The whispers in the crowd almost revealed the young man's origins. The younger brother of the Yuancheng garrison commander—this background was truly extraordinary, and he must not be offended! If it affected the treatment, they would probably be implicated as well!

"Oh, what should we do? Our master has just been taken to the Liu Mansion by Butler Liu for a pulse diagnosis. There is no one in the hall who can give acupuncture to the young master!" The pharmacy clerk also knew the background of this young master. General Zhang is a great killer. If something happens to the young master in Shourentang, I am afraid that the entire Shourentang will suffer! "Or, should we send him to Yong'an Hall on the next street to find Doctor Liu?"

"It's too late!" The servant was so anxious that tears and snot were streaming down his face. "My young master has been unconscious for a while. If we go to Yong'an Hall again, I'm afraid, I'm afraid..." He will never wake up again! !

"Then, what should we do?" The pharmacy clerk was so anxious that he kept stamping his feet.

"Where is Cheng Qi? Isn't he Doctor Xu's disciple? Let him come and give acupuncture to my young master!" The servant suddenly remembered something and hurriedly grabbed the sleeve of the young master, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.

Cheng Qi was drawn to the noise from the front hall and walked out of the inner courtyard, just in time to hear the servant's words. He quickly refused, "No, no! Brother Xiaoduo, I haven't learned acupuncture yet, so I can't give you acupuncture casually!"

"Cheng Qi, what do you mean? Are you going to watch my young master die?"

Cheng Qi waved his hands quickly, his delicate and elegant face full of bitterness. How could he mean that?

Shu He saw that the young master's face was getting greener and greener, and he was afraid that if they continued to argue, this kid would really die!
