"You are almost four months pregnant now, right?" Li Mofu said, looking at Wang Ruiyan's belly.

Wang Ruiyan's belly is not particularly prominent, so it is hard to imagine that she is already four months pregnant. In addition, she has been traveling around these days and has no doctor to help her with diagnosis and treatment. To be honest, she is quite worried that something might go wrong.

"Maybe he didn't get enough nutrition, so he hasn't grown much." Wang Ruiyan touched her belly and smiled. "But Qiuxiang checked my pulse and said he's very strong. Now it all depends on fate."

"Qiuxiang can also take pulses?" Li Mofu asked in surprise.

Qiuxiang smiled bitterly and said, "I only know a few basics. I learned them secretly when I was working at the pharmacy."

Li Mofu gave up the idea of ​​asking her to help take his pulse. He suddenly felt like he was going to a big hospital and met a classmate who often skipped classes with him and was working as a doctor there.

"The weather will get hotter and hotter, and it will become harder and harder to walk. Alas." Wang Ruiyan sighed again.

Li Mofu was feeling hot now, but the nights in the mountains were cooler, so he could still sleep. He was just afraid of mosquitoes. He'd already gotten blisters from hiking up the mountain, and every time he popped one, he felt like he was in heaven. Although applying herbal remedies would cool him down, they would still flare up if he hiked up the mountain again.

It wasn't until recently that my feet stopped getting blisters after walking for a while, and now I'm about to get mosquito blisters.

"I hope Guozi will buy me a mosquito repellent kit." Li Mofu closed his eyes and prayed.

Wang Ruiyan gave him a funny look and said, "That thing needs to be replaced frequently to be useful."

"......" Li Mofu.

At this time, Qiuxiang suggested, "Actually, burning some mugwort before going to bed can also repel mosquitoes, but the smell will be stronger."

Wang Ruiyan nodded after hearing this and said, "Let's see what Guard Mo says when the time comes. If he's worried about the smell revealing his position, then forget it."

Li Mofu also found a place to sit down and rest while they were still here. "Marquis Wu'an and his men should have arrived by now. I wonder what's going on with the situation on the border."

"...They will all be fine, and so will we." Wang Ruiyan said subconsciously while touching her belly.

Li Mofu leaned against the stone, not minding the dirt, but soon fell silent. He was truly exhausted these past few days. He fell asleep as soon as he lay down, dreamless, and could sleep until dawn. But during his boring journey, he kept thinking about the night the inn burned down and they began their escape.

Thinking of the servants who wanted to protect Wang Ruiyan and were eventually captured or killed, thinking of Madam Liang who had collapsed in the next room and was already cold...

Sometimes, Li Mofu would even think of the days when he was still lazily relaxing in the yard. At that time, he always wanted to run and stay away from Lu Mingyun. Now he was indeed far away from Lu Mingyun, but he began to miss the days when he was around.

It's really unpredictable.

The more Li Mofu thought about it, the sadder he felt. He really didn't want to walk on the mountain road anymore. Sleeping in the open air was too uncomfortable and not comfortable at all.

"Mofu, to be honest, I haven't thanked you properly yet. I get up early and travel every day, and sleep immediately after rest, so I have forgotten about this matter. Thank you so much that time. If you hadn't risked coming in, we might have been sent back to the capital..." Wang Ruiyan suddenly sighed.

Qiuxiang also said, "Yes, thank you very much, Master Li."

Li Mofu touched his nose and said, "It's not bad. It's mainly because Mo Yi led most people away, and the Taoist priest gave this thing to me, so I'd rather not use it."

"I wonder what I'll have to face if I return to the capital..." Wang Ruiyan couldn't help but worry.

Qiuxiang comforted her, "Madam, although the Marquis is no longer in the capital, the master is still here. He will not ignore you."

Wang Ruiyan lowered her brows and smiled, then took a deep breath and said, "I don't want to think about it anymore. The more I think about it, the more anxious I feel."

"Hurry up and don't get sick. We will reach Jiangnan soon." Li Mofu said.

The few of them chatted on the mountain while waiting for Mo Yi, Guozi and Xiao Qi to come back. After waiting for about half an hour, they finally came back, each carrying a bag.
