The girl said there was a shortcut and then fainted.

She didn't say a word about where the shortcut was or which way to go.

Shen Yitian supported her, speechless. How could she even say a word?

"Xiao Wei, is there any way to wake her up?" Shen Yitian looked up and asked Xiao Wei.

She had a flashlight in her hand, and even though the fog was thick in the mountains, Xiao Wei, who was standing right in front of her, could still clearly see that the girl had fainted.

Seeing that the girl's complexion was worse than before and her lips were getting paler, Xiao Wei couldn't help but worry about what kind of snake had bitten her.

"It looks like the snake venom is spreading in her body. We have to release the poison." Xiao Wei said.

Shen Yitian then reacted. Yes, the snake venom had to be released, otherwise the poison would enter the heart through the blood and it would be difficult to save the patient.

"Okay." She put the girl down with swift movements, then took out a small dagger and a tourniquet from her body.

That was also an emergency item she prepared, but she never thought that she would really need it one day.

He tied a tourniquet three inches above the wound and then cut the wound open with a small dagger.

Snake venom is no joke. She didn't dare suck it out with her mouth. She just squeezed the tourniquet from top to bottom, and black blood began to flow out of the wound instantly.

This can only clear out part of the poison, but piercing the calf can also slow down the circulation of poisonous blood.

When Shen Yitian finished all this and looked up, she found that Xiao Wei was looking at her with a very strange look.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Shen Yitian asked guiltily, feeling a little uncomfortable being stared at by him.

Xiao Wei clasped his fists and said, "I didn't realize you were so efficient. Now that most of the poisonous blood has been squeezed out, I'm sure she won't die for now."

The word "death" was really harsh, and Shen Yitian didn't want to let such a vibrant life wither away in front of her.

"How well do you know the roads around here? She just said there was a shortcut. Can you tell whether it's true or not?" She didn't dare to believe the unconscious girl's words.

However, time was running out, and even if she rode back to the exile group, she might not be able to make it in time...

"There are many villages and towns in this area, and the mountain roads are crisscrossed. It is not impossible that there is a shortcut. It's just that we have never been there, and it is easy to get lost again if we set out rashly." Xiao Wei replied.

Shen Yitian thought so too, but if someone showed the way, maybe it would work.

"I'll wake her up and ask her. If it's really close, we can just take a shortcut."

After saying that, he took out a silver needle from somewhere and stabbed it directly into the girl's philtrum.

The girl who had fainted suddenly opened her eyes and looked at her in surprise.

"You said there is a shortcut to Linyang? How do I get there? Which way should I go? If it is really close, I can take you to Linyang to see a doctor." Shen Yitian asked directly without wasting any time.

The girl was stunned for a moment, her expression a little dazed. Seeing her like this, Shen Yitian said, "If you don't know how to take the shortcut, then I'm sorry, I have to ride back to Linyang on horseback and can't take you with me."

As she said this, she was about to stand up. She didn't mean to scare the girl, but she was in a hurry to get on with her journey and didn't want to delay any longer.

"Miss, don't go. I know the way." The girl was afraid that she would really leave, so she quickly grabbed the corner of her clothes and said.

But her hesitation just now made Shen Yitian not sure whether to believe her.

"Do you really know? I'm taking you to Linyang. If you lie to me, it won't just be me who'll suffer, but your own life as well."

The girl nodded and said, "Don't worry, miss. I wouldn't dare lie. I grew up here and I know the way."

She spoke sincerely, so Shen Yitian didn't ask any more questions. She asked Xiao Wei to put the person on the horse and started on her way.

The girl seemed to know the way. The path she pointed to was narrow but not remote. After a while, they had climbed over the mountain. By dawn, following the direction the girl pointed, they had already seen Linyang City.

It seems that the girl did not lie to her.

Shen Yitian took out a silver ingot from her pocket and handed it to Xiao Wei, saying, "I have to go back to the post station first. You take this girl to see a doctor and pay the medical bills as a token of your gratitude for showing her the way. After you settle her down, you can return to the post station. I will tell Grandma Li what you need to do next."

After saying that, she rolled up her sleeves. At this time, the city gate had just opened, and she entered the city as soon as the gate opened.

The soldiers who opened the city gate thought she was just someone's servant and didn't ask any questions. Xiao Wei couldn't help scratching his head when he saw how rushed she was.

He always felt that the ladies nowadays were very different from before.

It seems that people still have to experience things. Experiencing more things can really change a person.

Shen Yitian hurried as fast as she could, but when she reached the post station, she heard Captain Yuan yelling for everyone to get up. The officers were bound to be in the lobby by then, so if she just walked in, wouldn't she be caught red-handed?

After thinking about it, she sneaked to the backyard of the inn. Fortunately, the window of her room was next to the backyard, and she could still climb up and jump into the room through the window.

She sighed in her heart, "God will not abandon me," and quickly climbed up with the help of the firewood piled next to her.

Unfortunately, she was a stay-at-home girl before she traveled through the book, and this body had never learned martial arts, so she was particularly clumsy when climbing up.

The voice of Yuan Dutou in front was becoming more and more impatient. She didn't know if all the exiled prisoners had already arrived in the lobby and were waiting for her alone.

Thinking of this, she felt a little panicked and climbed even slower.

Just as he was trying to steady himself, there was a sudden slight sound above his head.

When she looked up, Shengsheng, the little girl who had changed clothes with her yesterday, was looking down from above. She asked, "Who's there?"

Shen Yitian quickly replied in a whisper: "Me, pull me up quickly."

Shengsheng was delighted when he heard her voice: "Grandma, come on, the young lady is back."

Grandma Li also came over when she heard the sound. Seeing Shen Yitian lying on the firewood pile like a gecko and trying to climb up, she almost jumped up in fright.

"Hurry up and pull the lady up." Without thinking, she pulled off the bed sheet and threw one end down.

The pile of firewood was high enough that Shen Yitian couldn't climb up the suspended part. With the bed sheet as leverage, it was much easier for her to climb up.

But this is compared to her climbing with bare hands.

After a while of struggling, Shen Yitian finally climbed into the window. On a tree not far away, the young man from yesterday curled his lips, turned around, and jumped onto the roof of the opposite house.

In a moment, he disappeared, as if he had never appeared here.

In the room, Shen Yitian had already quickly changed clothes with Shengsheng. This little girl was just bought by Grandma Li after she came here, but she was very smart. She helped Shen Yitian with her hair while she was getting dressed.

By the time she was dressed, she had already prepared water and wrung out a towel for Shen Yitian to wipe her face.

Just as Shen Yitian took the towel, Yuan Dutou knocked on the door impatiently.

"Ms. Shen, hurry up, everyone is waiting for you."
