Closing his eyes tightly, Yang Mingxi asked, "I wonder where you live. If it's far from Changshan Village, I'm afraid it would be inconvenient."

Lu Jintang smiled and said, "We live in Qianhuang Mountain and plan to build a house by the small river at the entrance of Changshan Village. It shouldn't be far away!"

Yang Mingxi looked up at him and said something like an idiot: "Qianhuang Mountain is owned by someone. You can't just build a house there. You should ask the village chief to choose a new place to build a house. Are you new here?"

Lu Jintang chuckled again and said, "It's okay. I know the owner of Qianhuang Mountain. It's no problem for me to build a house there. Do you know someone who can build a house? Can you introduce me to someone?"

Yang Mingxi glanced at Lu Jintang and said, "Let's go back first. It's not safe in the mountains right now. We can discuss the rest of the matter back in the village."

Lu Jintang smiled and said, "Okay, my name is Lu Jintang, what's yours?"

"Yang Mingxi!" Yang Mingxi looked at Zheng Huairen again and found that he had turned around and walked forward.

Yang Mingxi looked at Yang Mingyu and Yang Mingbo who were covering their abdomens with their hands. It was obvious that they were seriously injured and it would be difficult for them to get out by themselves.

Yang Mingxi said shamelessly, "Mr. Lu, please help me cut a stick. Also, please ask your people to go to the river to call my brother and others to come over and help the other two brothers."

Lu Jintang glanced at Yang Mingxi and said, "Don't bother. I'll carry you down. You can't put any pressure on your feet right now. Your two brothers will help you get down, and they'll come over later to help carry your prey over."

Yang Mingxi looked at her third brother and found that his eyes were red as he stared at Zheng Huairen's leaving figure. His hands were clenched into fists and his body was trembling, as if he was trying hard to endure something.

Looking at Yang Mingbo again, he had the same expression as Yang Mingyu. Yang Mingxi understood that everyone actually knew about her and Zheng Huairen, but they usually didn't say it out loud because of their reputations. Now that they saw Zheng Huairen's performance, they all felt sorry for him.

While Yang Mingxi was still thinking about what to do, her body suddenly lightened and she was carried straight up on Lu Jintang's back. He put his arms around her legs and strode forward.

This posture made Yang Mingxi uncomfortable, and the person carrying her also had a hard time.

Yang Mingxi thought for a moment and asked softly, "Mr. Lu, can I change positions?"

Lu Jintang stopped, half bent over and said, "Lie on me, you will feel more comfortable this way. Also, cry if you want to. After crying, things will be over. Some people are not worth your tears."

Yang Mingxi slowly lay on Lu Jintang's back, tears streaming down her face. She had always been a slow-moving person, not someone who would actively like others. She was usually passive in accepting things, but once she accepted someone, she would be determined to be with that person and wouldn't even glance at anyone else.

As for Zheng Huairen, she didn't feel she had to marry him. He just cared for her tenderly and she thought that since she was going to get married anyway, she might as well marry him. So she decided on him. Even when she met Lu Jintang again, he had a similar temperament and voice to her ex-husband, so she didn't waver. She didn't expect that he would be the first to give up.

Yang Mingxi cried for about half a cup of tea. She could vaguely see Changhu Mountain. She stopped crying, wiped her tears and said, "Thank you, Master Lu. I promise you."

Lu Jintang smiled in his heart, and just nodded lightly on his face, then carried Yang Mingxi on his back and walked towards the river.

When they arrived at the river, Zheng Huairen was gone. He just said hello to Yang Mingyang and left, leaving everyone confused.

Yang Mingyang watched as Yang Mingxi, who was being carried, stood up and ran towards her. He then saw Yang Mingyu and Yang Mingbo, who were being supported by others. He hurried forward and surrounded Yang Mingxi, asking, "Xier, what's wrong?" After asking Yang Mingxi, he turned to Yang Mingyu and asked, "Yu, Bo, what's wrong with you?"

Yang Mingyu was afraid that Yang Mingyang would mention Zheng Huairen again, so he quickly said, "Xier sprained her ankle, and Apo and I were thrown by the wild boar and both fell."

Lu Jintang carried Yang Mingxi to the campfire, squatted down and put her down, then helped her sit down. He then said to the people who had gathered around, "It's not a big deal. She just sprained her ankle. I'll straighten it for her later. She just needs to rest for a while."

He then pointed at Yang Mingyu and Yang Mingbo, who had been taken over by the Yang family, and said, "They both probably have minor internal injuries. Go back and take some medicine to treat them, and they'll be fine in three days."

Yang Mingxi looked at his third brother and Yang Mingbo, who were being helped to sit down beside him, nodded, and said to Yang Mingyang, "Second brother, we hunted five wild boars. They're still up in the mountains. You guys go up the mountain and carry them back!"

Yang Mingyang nodded, and Yang Mingyong, Yang Mingtao, and Yang Mingzhou headed up the mountain together. Lu Jintang gestured, and the five secret guards who followed him put down the sika deer they had brought back and followed.

Lu Jintang took a few fish from the fire and handed them to Yang Mingyu and Yang Mingbo, saying, "Eat something first. When my guards come back later, they will heal your wounds and help you recover faster."

Yang Mingyu and Yang Mingbo took the grilled fish and started eating.

Lu Jintang came to Yang Mingxi, half-knelt on the ground, and said to Yang Mingxi: "You have to straighten your foot quickly. It was inconvenient on the mountain just now. Now I will help you straighten it. Sorry." Before he finished speaking, Lu Jintang had already pulled up Yang Mingxi's foot, and with a click, straightened it back.

Just as Yang Mingxi was about to say she didn't need it and would go back and do it herself, she felt a sharp pain, and then the pain disappeared. A cool sensation came from her foot, and when she looked up, she saw Lu Jintang placing her injured foot on his lap, mixing some medicinal wine in his hands and rubbing her ankle.

Yang Mingxi watched Lu Jintang's movements and gradually calmed down. She focused her attention on her ankle, which was now fully restored, with only a slight pain from the strain.

After Lu Jintang finished rubbing, he gently placed Yang Mingxi's feet on the ground and said with a smile: "Okay, does it still hurt?"

Yang Mingxi shook her head and said, "Thank you, Mr. Lu."

Lu Jintang waved his hand and said in a relaxed tone: "Would you like some water? I'll go wash my hands first, and then get you something to eat." After that, he stood up and prepared to leave.

Yang Mingxi shook her head slightly, indicating that she didn't need water.

Lu Jintang smiled and nodded, then turned and walked towards the river to wash his hands.

Yang Mingxi looked at the departing figure, pursed her lips slightly, turned around and asked: "Ayu, Apo, are you really okay?"

Yang Mingyu and Yang Mingbo looked at Yang Mingxi with red eyes, then shook their heads heavily.

Lu Jintang came back after washing his hands, took out two fish and handed them to Yang Mingxi, saying, "Eat something first!"

Yang Mingxi took one and said, "Mr. Lu, don't be disgusted. Just eat something. We'll be back soon. There's still a while left."

Lu Jintang nodded, smiling broadly in his heart, thinking, "Finally, I can eat fish openly."
