If Gu Yuer hadn't mentioned Yulan, Rong Su would probably have really forgotten about this person.

She would not bring Yulan with her. She had never thought of bringing so many people with her on the journey.

But now, from the beginning with Shen Peiqing, the number has continued to increase.

In fact, she was very tired. Although she was not tired of leading people, she was on the road of revenge after all.

The journey is extremely difficult. The more people you bring, the harder it will be to avoid danger.

Rong Su saw that everyone was looking at her, as if waiting for her answer.

"I'm not going to take her with me."

With just one short sentence, everyone understood her attitude.

Only Gu Yuer seemed a little bit dissatisfied, but she just looked at Rong Su and didn't say much.

Shitou was driving the carriage, and then several men took turns driving.

Before setting off, Shen Peiqing introduced the stone to everyone.

The Gu brothers and sisters didn't seem to ask much about Shi Tou's background and seemed to welcome him.

Rong Su thought this was a good thing, at least she didn't have to explain the matter in too much detail.

The journey to Dongzhou will take at least one month.

After all, the distance from Lincheng to Dongzhou is a thousand miles.

It would take more than a month to get there even if you travel day and night. If you go slower, it might take two months.

So during the time in the carriage, Rong Su did not forget to read and study, and exchanged experiences with Gu Yun.

Then, it is time to remove the toxins from Shen Peiqing at a specific time.

All the herbs and things that needed to be brought were stuffed into the carriage, and it didn't make the carriage look crowded. The carriage did have enough space.

"Miss Rong, look at this." Gu Yun seemed to have discovered something, leaned over, and approached with a book.

Rong Su saw it and went over to take a look. She found that the book gave a detailed introduction to the appearance and unique effects of Snow Seven Grass, and even had a picture of it.

She couldn't help but reach out to take it in surprise, lowered her head to take a closer look, and then felt a little excited.

"I was originally worried about how to identify the seven snow herbs, but I didn't expect you to find a medical book that can identify the seven snow herbs first!"

Gu Yun had a gentle smile on his face. Seeing Rong Su's excited smile, his voice gradually became softer.

"Some rare herbs may be difficult to find in ordinary medical books, but if you look through some miscellaneous or rare books, you may find some."

After hearing what he said, Rong Su turned the book over and looked at its cover. It turned out to be a collection of wild illustrations, not a medical book.

As if inspired, Rong Su felt that what Gu Yun said was right. There are countless herbs in the world, and it is impossible to record them all in detail in medical books alone.

"Thank you, Gu Yun. I think I should buy some miscellaneous books when I rest in the next town, or I might discover something else."

Gu Yun gave her an appreciative and gentle smile: "Okay. If you need help, please let me know and I will help you."

Since he was willing to offer his help, Rong Su was naturally happy to do so. She nodded and said with a smile, "Then I'll leave it to you."

Shen Peiqing and Gu Yuer, who were sitting opposite, naturally noticed the interaction between Gu Yun and Rong Su.

Gu Yu'er rolled her eyes, then rested her hands on her cheeks, looked at Gu Yun and said with a smile, "Brother, you and Sister Rong have known each other for such a long time, why are you still calling her Miss Rong? Since you are already friends, shouldn't you call her by her courtesy name or given name? Don't you agree, Sister Rong?"

Gu Yun seemed a little embarrassed by what he said and scolded Gu Yuer in a low voice.

"Yu'er. Don't make things difficult for Miss Rong."

As he spoke, his eyes vaguely glanced at Rong Su, as if he was a little afraid that she didn't like it, but he didn't forget to apologize to her.

"Sorry, Miss Rong, Yu'er was just joking."

Seeing Gu Yun's embarrassment, Rong Su didn't care about calling names. It didn't matter what she called him. It didn't mean anything to her.

"Gu Yun, since I'm calling you by your name, just call me Rong Su."

After these words were spoken, Gu Yun seemed to be frightened. He raised his hands and waved them repeatedly, looking a little flustered, as if he was asked to do something embarrassing.

"Well, how can that be? How can I call you by your first name? That's not nice."

Seeing him like this, Rong Su felt a little helpless. She didn't want to waste time on things like calling names, so she made the decision directly.

"Gu Yun, just call me Asu. It's just a name."

Gu Yun was still a little embarrassed, and the tips of his ears were a little red. It was obvious that Rong Su was so determined, and it seemed inappropriate for a man like him to be shy, so he just nodded, looked at Rong Su's expression, and called out softly.

"Asu, okay."

Shen Peiqing watched all of this silently, crossed his arms, lowered his eyelids slightly, and twitched the corners of his mouth.

He showed disdain on his face, but felt a little inexplicably uncomfortable in his heart.

As for why he felt uncomfortable, he didn't want to know, because even if he did, it would be meaningless.

It was almost afternoon when they were about to leave the hills outside Lincheng.

Suddenly, the carriage stopped and everyone sitting inside was shaken.

At this time, Shitou's voice came from outside: "There are bandits ahead, and they seem to be bullying a woman. I'll go take a look."

Hearing this, Rong Sumu frowned and wondered why another nosy person came.

But everyone still chose to get off the carriage and see what was going on.

As soon as I got off the carriage, I saw three or four middle-aged men in linen clothes in front of me. Each of them had a weapon in his hand and was surrounding a woman in a ferocious manner.

From a distance, the woman seemed familiar in figure.

After a while, Gu Yuer seemed to recognize the woman and called out in surprise, "Sister Yulan?"

What? Magnolia?

Rong Su looked carefully and found that Yulan seemed to have heard Gu Yuer's call. She turned around with a frightened look on her face. After seeing them, she seemed to see hope and was shouting for help.

"Doctor Rong, save me!"

The bandits also discovered them. Seeing Yulan calling for help, they reached out angrily, grabbed Yulan's hand, and then roared fiercely.

"Shut up! If you shout again, I won't be polite!"

Yulan struggled continuously, tears of fear welling up in her eyes: "Please, let me go, I don't have anything valuable on me."

The bandit was obviously not interested in anything on Yulan's body. Instead, he sneered and looked at her body with obscene eyes.

"Haha, I'm going to capture you and bring you back to be our wife! Behave yourself!"

The hateful bandit didn't seem to be afraid of Rong Su and the others, and even sneered at them provocatively.

"Don't bother meddling in other people's business. I'm telling you, this mountain is our territory. If you want to leave safely, just be quiet and leave on your own initiative. Otherwise, you'll lose your life here."

Rong Su felt uncomfortable when she heard such an arrogant tone. Although it was not for Yulan, she could not tolerate anyone being so arrogant in front of her.

Especially this kind of scumbag.

"Sister Rong, brother, shouldn't we go and save Sister Yulan?" Gu Yuer was a little afraid of those vicious bandits, but she still cared about Yulan and hoped that they would go and save her.

But no one here could fight. Shitou should know martial arts, but his injuries had only healed a little, let alone the others.

Seeing this, Rong Su looked at Shi Tou: "Didn't you say you were going to rescue people? Why don't you do it?"

Shitou originally planned to rescue people, but when he saw that the bandits were holding sharp weapons and he was unarmed, he decided not to confront them head-on.

Hearing Rong Su's question, he thought for a moment and said, "You know my injuries haven't fully healed yet, and I'm not sure I can save others without getting hurt. I have to stay alive to protect my master."

Shi Tou's words actually changed Rong Su's opinion of him. This guy was not completely meddling in other people's business.

"What are you going to do?" Rong Su asked calmly.

Shitou thought for a moment, then said to her, "Doctor Rong knows how to use poison, right?"

Unexpectedly, Shitou knew about this. She couldn't help but glance at Shen Peiqing, who happened to turn his gaze. Their eyes met, and then Shen Peiqing understood. He said softly with a blank expression, "Isn't this the truth? Can't I say it?"

Rong Su curled her lips at such righteous words, but she didn't care much. She didn't want to argue with Shen Peiqing now.

"Yes. So what are you going to do?"

Shi Tou saw that the bandits over there seemed to be planning to leave, so he carried the struggling and screaming Yulan in the other direction.

Seeing this, Shitou briefly explained his plan.

"Then please ask Doctor Rong to give me the poison or something. I will deal with those bandits myself, and then you can take the opportunity to rescue Miss Yulan."

After hearing this, Rong Su indeed agreed. At present, Shitou's fighting power is stronger than all of them.

Thinking of this, she handed a bottle of poison powder to Shi Tou.

Then he warned, "This bottle of poison powder will cause unbearable pain upon contact, and it will last for at least an hour. Be careful not to touch it yourself. I haven't made the antidote yet."

Shi Tou took it and nodded: "I understand."

After he finished speaking, he seemed to be using some light skills, and in two or three moves he caught up with the bandits who had already gone far away.

The bandits seemed to have noticed Shi Tou's approach, and they all took up their weapons, with ferocious expressions in their eyes, and started fighting Shi Tou.

Shitou had several stones in his hands at some point, and when no one was looking, he knocked down the weapons of the bandits with a few whooshes.

This completely angered the bandit, and his expression became more ferocious, and he even roared loudly.

"Give me your life!"

A bandit attacked from behind Stone at some unknown moment.

Seeing Shitou fighting two bandits and being attacked from behind, Gu Yuer was terrified and asked Shen Peiqing nervously: "Brother Shen, won't you go help Brother Shitou?"

Shen Peiqing seemed indifferent, but he also seemed to believe in Shi Tou extremely, with a cold and firm expression.

"He can do it. Don't worry."

This expression of trust made Rong Su feel that their friendship might be even deeper than she had imagined.

Shitou was attacked from both sides, but he was not panicked at all. When the bandit behind him was about to chop him with a knife, he turned sideways and threw a stone, hitting the bandit directly in the throat.

The bandit screamed, then fell to the ground, holding his throat and rolling around, screaming continuously.

This stimulated the other two bandits. They looked at each other and then attacked the stone from both sides at the same time.

Rong Su took advantage of this opportunity and said to Shen Peiqing and Gu Yun, "There's only one bandit watching Yulan over there. It's time to go over and rescue her."

After hearing Rong Su's words, Shen Peiqing and Gu Yun looked at each other, and there was actually a strange tacit understanding between them.

Together they avoided the bandits' sight and ran straight over. Shen Peiqing diverted the bandits' attention, and then Gu Yun took the opportunity to grab Yulan and walk to the back.

When Shen Peiqing saw the bandit slashing at him with a knife, he gritted his teeth, took two steps at a time, and attacked the bandit directly in front of him. The bandit showed a frightened expression. He didn't expect that Shen Peiqing would not avoid the attack and attack directly.

The bandit had never expected that Shen Peiqing would snatch the knife from his hand when he was not paying attention. When he came to his senses, Shen Peiqing had already slashed his shoulder. He then covered the wound and kept backing away, wailing.

The two bandits that Shi Tou was dealing with had been poisoned and fell to the ground. Seeing this, the bandit who was stabbed was so scared that he abandoned his companions and fled in a hurry.

They successfully rescued Yulan, who seemed to be frightened and had fainted.

"It's not advisable to stay here for long. Let's leave quickly." Rong Su looked around and then at the bandits who were lying on the ground and screaming.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuer and Gu Yun supported Yulan together and everyone withdrew from the carriage.

Shitou drove the carriage again and left the hill as fast as possible.

We traveled like this for about two hours, and it was already dark.

At this time, Yulan also woke up.

"Sister Yulan, are you awake?" Gu Yuer smiled in surprise.

Yulan looked confused. When she saw that it was them, she showed surprise and sadness on her face, and even started crying.

"Woo woo, thank you, thank you. If it weren't for you, I might have been killed by the bandits."

As she said this, Yulan was about to get off the bed and kowtow to them to express her gratitude.

Seeing this, Gu Yuer was frightened and reached out to support Yulan.

Rong Su looked at him and said calmly, "You are emotionally unstable now, you should get some rest."

"Yes, Sister Yulan, you should take a rest. How did you end up on a mountain so far away from Lincheng?" Gu Yuer echoed and asked worriedly.

When Yulan heard this question, a trace of embarrassment appeared on her face. She lowered her head and said softly, "I came there so that I could identify some herbs. I heard that the environment there is very suitable for growing herbs, so I went there."

This means that she has harmed others, right? Rong Su felt a little strange after hearing this.

Feeling Gu Yu'er looking at her, she coughed lightly and said to Yulan, "You don't have to go so far to find herbs. It's not safe for a woman to go to such a remote place. Don't you know?"

Maybe it was because of herself that Yulan was in danger, so she was not a hard-hearted person after all and still felt a little guilty.

When Yulan heard Rong Su's rebuke, she lowered her head very low, like an obedient student.

"I'm sorry. I know I was wrong."

Seeing her like this, Rong Su didn't know what to say, so he could only say softly, "Rest well first. When we get to the next town, I'll buy you a carriage and find a trustworthy driver to take you back to Lincheng."

Upon hearing this, Yulan's face showed an anxious expression: "Doctor Rong, I don't want to go back to Lincheng. Can you stay?"
