I have been farming since I crossed over.

Although Zhu Er was a little curious, he couldn't help but secretly glance at Yang Mingxi several times. The look in his eyes was like a hungry wolf seeing a little lamb, which made people feel a little uncomfortable.

Yang Mingxi seemed to notice Zhu Er's gaze. She frowned slightly and quickened her pace.

Seeing this, Zhu Er gave way somewhat embarrassedly.

Aunt Zhu quickly turned around and grabbed Yang Mingxi's hand, "Little doctor, please slow down. This road is not easy to walk on. It's dark now and I can't see the road clearly. Let me hold your hand and walk with you!"

As she spoke, Aunt Zhu deliberately glanced at her silly son, as if she was afraid that he would do something bad to Yang Mingxi.

Zhu Er followed his mother for a few steps and suddenly found that his mother kept looking back at him from time to time. He couldn't help but feel a little funny.

He took a few quick steps and walked to the front, muttering, "Mom, don't worry. The little doctor has been very kind to our family. How could I repay her with hatred? As long as... as long as she doesn't come to destroy our village, it'll be fine."

Zhu Er said the latter part of the sentence with some difficulty, as if he had something to hide.

After saying that, Zhu Er walked towards the village chief's house with a "thump thump" sound. His steps seemed a little hurried, as if he wanted to quickly escape from this embarrassing scene.

The strong men who came with Zhu Er looked at Zhu Er who had already walked away, then looked at Yang Mingxi who was protected by Aunt Zhu, hesitated for a moment, and finally followed Yang Mingxi and her group slowly and walked towards the village chief's house.

At the end of the path, the view gradually widens, and you can see rows of thatched houses neatly arranged into a square courtyard, like a quiet little village.

Right in front of the yard is a gate covered with thatched roof. At this moment, the gate is open, as if welcoming guests from afar.

Standing at the door were Zhu Er and a white-haired old man.

Zhu Er carefully supported the old man, and the two of them stared at the path extending from the front of the courtyard, as if waiting for someone to arrive.

After a while, Aunt Zhu appeared on the path.

She saw the village chief standing at the gate from afar, and a bright smile immediately broke out on her face. She shouted loudly, "Second Uncle, why are you out here?"

The village chief heard Aunt Zhu's call and responded, "Your second son said you brought a distinguished guest to my house, so naturally I had to come out to greet him."

Although his voice was old, it was still loud and carried far into the air.

Aunt Zhu walked quickly to the village chief and said, "Yes, he is my eldest son's lifesaver. If your eldest son had met this young doctor, maybe he wouldn't have..."

At this point, Aunt Zhu's voice was a little choked. As she spoke, she stretched out her sleeves and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Yang Mingxi and his group also came to the old man.

Yang Mingxi stepped forward and bowed slightly. "Hello, Village Chief. I'm truly sorry for disturbing the village today. We mean no harm. Brother Zhu, please help me contact the Lu family's personal guards. By the way, I came here specially to see you."

The village chief slowly raised his cloudy eyes, his gaze first falling on Yang Mingxi, looking her up and down.

He then shifted his gaze to Aunt Zhu and asked suspiciously, "Ms. Zhu, are you kidding me? This little girl looks so young, how capable can she be? And you actually call her a miracle doctor?"

When Aunt Zhu heard what the village chief said, she became anxious. She quickly explained, "Uncle, please don't say that! How could I joke about such a thing? It was her. Her master brought her here. But the one who saved my eldest son was indeed this little miracle doctor in front of us!"

The village chief was obviously skeptical about what Aunt Zhu said. His gaze returned to Yang Mingxi again, staring at her closely, as if trying to find some clues from her expression.

After a long while, the village chief finally asked, "Who is Yan Daozhi to you?"

When Yang Mingxi heard the name "Yan Daozhi", her body trembled violently and she felt a little dazed.

She was stunned for a moment before she came to her senses. "He is my master, but... I haven't seen him for a long time."

Yang Mingxi's voice became lower and lower, until it was almost inaudible.

As she spoke, a feeling of sadness slowly surged into her heart like a tide, gradually taking over her whole body.

The village chief looked at the little girl who was suddenly plunged into sadness, and a trace of pity welled up in his heart.

However, when he noticed Yang Mingxi's outfit, he felt something was wrong.

The way this little girl is dressed doesn't look like an unmarried girl, but more like a young wife.

The village chief hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell Yang Mingxi the truth. "He's fine. We've been friends for many years. We just met a few days ago."

Hearing this, Yang Mingxi's originally dim eyes instantly brightened up, "Master is here too? What about Uncle Master? Is he here too?"

The village chief slowly shook his head, seemingly helpless about Yang Mingxi's question. "I just met with Doctor Yan and had a brief chat, and then he left in a hurry."

Yang Mingxi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a smile of understanding, "Master is just like that. No matter what happens, in his heart, it is not as important as saving people."

"Come in and sit in the yard!" The old village chief had returned to the yard at some point and greeted Yang Mingxi warmly.

Yang Mingxi quickly responded, "Okay, Village Chief Grandpa."

After saying that, he walked into the yard and sat down on a wooden bench.

The cold wind was blowing, and Yang Mingxi pulled his cloak closer.

After Yang Mingxi sat down, the old village chief's tone became very friendly. "Child, is there something you want to talk to me about today?"

Yang Mingxi hesitated for a moment, "Grandpa Village Chief, I came to see you because Brother Zhu helped me with something, and he asked me to come and tell you something. There's also one more thing..."

Having said that, Yang Mingxi suddenly stopped talking and glanced at Zhu Dali who was standing not far away.

Zhu Dali saw this and immediately understood what he meant. He turned to the group of young men next to him and said, "Thank you for your hard work, warriors. Please take me to see your defenses!"

Zhu Er looked at the old village chief, as if waiting for his instructions.

The old village chief seemed very calm. He didn't even raise his eyelids and just casually ordered, "Go, take a good look, and solve any problems together."

After getting permission from the old village chief, Zhu Dali happily followed the group out of the yard.

Chunhua's face was also filled with smiles. She quickly stepped forward to support Aunt Zhu. "Auntie, it's so cold. Let's go to the village chief's kitchen to borrow a fire and boil some hot water to warm ourselves up!"

Her voice was soft yet encouraging, and Aunt Zhu felt dizzy.

Before Chunhua finished her words and Aunt Zhu had no time to respond, she was gently pulled away by her.

Looking at the two people's backs walking away, Yang Mingxi couldn't help but smile slightly.

She walked up to the village chief and introduced herself straight to the point: "Hello, Grandpa Village Chief! My name is Yang Mingxi, and I'm Lu Jintang's wife. I came here mainly to help him."

When the village chief heard the name "Lu Jintang", his cloudy eyes suddenly flashed with light, "Are you the Lu family's youngest grandson's wife?"

Yang Mingxi smiled and nodded, "Yes, it's me. But I'm also Master's disciple."

"Lu Zhenhua is so lucky to have you as his youngest grandson's wife. The Lu family will have successors! God is finally merciful." The old village chief laughed loudly towards the sky.
