Sir Song, do you want to pledge yourself to me?

In the Jinfeng Stronghold of Wangyun Mountain, there are more than 400 bandits, and all of them are strong young men who can chop people with a knife. Their fighting power should not be underestimated.

She was a young, frail woman, yet she actually broke into the village alone and planned to rescue them all. To everyone present, this was simply like a fairy tale.

"We're all injured. Some of us have even developed high fevers. We're completely exhausted." A guard, worried she didn't understand the severity of the situation, analyzed her predicament. "How can you possibly leave this place safely with so many wounded on your own?"

However, Ji Nuan said without question, "I have a plan. You just need to follow my instructions, and I will ensure your safe departure." She then took out a medicine bottle and handed it to Master Chen, "Treat your wounds first."

Before they could react, Ji Nuan had already squatted next to Chen Yu and reached out to feel his pulse. Her brows furrowed as she turned to ask Master Chen, "Uncle Chen, why is he so badly injured and still running a high fever?"

Master Chen sighed and slowly said, "When the bandits were robbing, Yu'er shot the leader's left eye with a hidden crossbow. After being captured on the mountain, the leader was furious and wanted to kill him. Fortunately, he was stopped by a man who looked like a scholar, and he was able to save his life."

Ji Nuan felt a pang of guilt upon hearing this. She had given Chen Yu the crossbow for self-defense, but she had never expected it would cause him such great suffering.

She gently opened Chen Yu's mouth and stuffed a pill into it.

Master Chen watched her feeding her son and couldn't help but feel nervous. "What did you feed him?"

"These are fever-reducing pills." Ji Nuan explained, "Is anyone else running a fever? I have some medicine here."

"Girl, I also need a fever-reducing medicine. Lao Hu also has a high fever." A young man who was applying medicine to the guard next to him said anxiously.

Upon hearing this, Ji Nuan handed the small packet of antipyretic medicine in her hand to Master Chen without hesitation, "Uncle Chen, take this medicine. If you find anyone with a fever, let them take one."

Before, they were in dire straits, with no one to help them, and even medicine was a luxury. He could only watch his son being dragged back, covered in wounds, with no way to help him, and he had to rely on himself to bear it. Now, regardless of how capable Ji Nuan was, at least there was hope, wasn't it?

"Okay, thank you very much, Nuannuan." Master Chen took the medicine and hurriedly got up to check on the injured guards.

Ji Nuan opened the small medicine bottle and carefully sprinkled medicine powder on Chen Yu's wound.

Looking at the unconscious person in front of her, she felt that this was not going to work. If Chen Yu remained unconscious, it would be difficult to leave.

So, Ji Nuan stood up and said to Mr. Chen, "Uncle Chen, I'll go find something to eat." After that, she turned and left the cave.

The guards were relieved that she could leave temporarily. After all, with her around, it was inconvenient for them to apply medicine in some places.

Ji Nuan quickly reached the kitchen and without hesitation picked up the bamboo basket full of steamed buns from the stove. At the same time, she also took away a small wooden barrel with a ladle and carefully added half a bucket of diluted vital water into it.

When she returned with a bucket of water in one hand and a basket of steamed buns in the other, Mr. Chen immediately stood up and went forward to greet her.

Time was running out; the guards outside would soon wake up. Ji Nuan hurriedly instructed, "I'll go check the surroundings. After you finish eating, remember to put the buckets and bamboo baskets in a hidden place. I'll come and take you away when it gets dark."

"Okay, you should be careful too." Master Chen advised with concern.

Ji Nuan nodded, then turned and left, restoring the lock on the wooden fence to its original state.

Back mountain.

The bandits guarding the mountain had just completed their shift change, and the few people who took over took a stroll around the area before returning to their original place.

The leading bandit, known as "Dog Brother", showed off the good stuff he brought in a mysterious manner.

"Hey, brothers, it's finally our turn to guard the back mountain! Guess what treasure I brought today?" Dog Brother covered his clothes with his hands, smiling proudly.

A young man with a simple and honest look and a look of anticipation came forward and asked eagerly, "Brother Gou, you're not sneaking into the kitchen again and stealing the roast chicken to share with us, are you?"

Hearing this, Gou Ge feigned anger and hit him on the back of the head, scolding him with a smile, "You kid only cares about eating! Didn't you just eat three big steamed buns before handing over your shift? Why are you hungry again?"

He smiled innocently and scratched his head. "Brother Gou, I used to be afraid of being hungry. So even though I have no worries about food and drink every day in the mountains, I still worry about going hungry."

"You're a pitiful kid, but luckily you met me, your brother." Dog Brother patted his shoulder and said with a generous smile, "Follow me and work hard. I guarantee you'll have enough to eat every meal and you won't have to worry about going hungry anymore."

"Hehe, thank you, Brother Gou." The honest young man nodded gratefully, his face filled with a satisfied and happy smile.

"Okay, come here everyone." Dog Brother waved to the bandits, signaling them to gather around, "Let's play some leaf cards and see what's so special about the toys of the nobles in this city." As he said that, he took out a cloth bag from his arms, opened it carefully, and revealed a deck of cards.

Several people gathered around the stone pillar with great interest, eager to try. Only the honest young man was still standing there, looking a little embarrassed.

"Shi Qi, what are you doing standing there? Come over here and play with us!" A bandit greeted him enthusiastically.

Shi Qi laughed and said innocently, "Brother Qiangzi, you guys go have fun, I'll guard the mountain."

"Well, you should also walk around here and pay attention to what's going on." After Qiangzi said that, he ignored him and concentrated on studying the cards in his hand.

It was quite cool in the mountains in June, and the chirping of birds could be heard from time to time, adding a bit of joy to the forest.

Shi Qi's ears twitched slightly, and he shouted to the people who were having fun, "Brother Gou, I'm going to check out the situation nearby."

"Oh, you can go by yourself. No need to say hello to me. I'm busy!" Dog brother waved his hand impatiently and sent him away.

Shi Qi said no more and turned to walk towards the woods.
