The whole family is reborn, and their five-year-old child becomes the darling of the entire capital.
Chapter 3 Cold Poison Enters the Body
Mu Yunnan rushed back to the thatched hut he had just left, frantically digging through the mountain of snow.
Finally, they dug out a little girl from below, her eyes tightly closed, her body frozen stiff, and she was almost lifeless.
The little girl looked no more than three years old, pitifully thin, and didn't match her sister's age at all, but she recognized her at a glance. This was Yu Xi, her sister! This was the bright moon in her heart!
Mu Yunnan clutched her paper-thin clothes, trembling with anger. He quickly removed his armor and outer garment, then held her tightly in his arms, warming her with his own body heat.
Mu Yunnan looked up and saw the stove in the room that she had smashed. For the first time, he hated his reckless behavior. He picked her up and quickly got up, found a house with a stove at random, threw in a gold ingot, and gave his sister basic medical care.
The county magistrate was almost paralyzed with fear. Although he had guessed that Miss Mu might not be having an easy time, he never expected that she would be half-dead as soon as they met.
If Miss Mu dies in his place, his official career will come to an end.
"Hurry up and find the chief physician!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" The county magistrate nodded obsequiously and ran off towards the county town, afraid that if he was too slow, something might really happen to his little darling.
"Yu Xi, don't scare your sister, okay?" Mu Yunnan, a person who is usually as strong as steel, couldn't help but have tears in his eyes as he carefully wiped her body with hot water.
Her small body was covered in bruises, all signs of being beaten, and there were clear handprints on her face, all telling the story of her life over the past few years.
Mu Yunnan took off her socks, only to find that they were almost stuck to her feet, with the torn parts still attached to her skin.
She had witnessed the harsh cold of the frontier. If supplies were insufficient, people would suffer from frostbite. If they were exposed to the cold for a long time, their skin would crack and they would find it difficult to take off their socks.
Mu Yunnan soaked her feet, socks and all, in hot water for a long time before carefully taking off her socks.
Mu Yunnan bought a new cotton-padded coat for a family and gave it to Xi to wear, then quietly stayed by her side.
But the little girl couldn't withstand the cold weather outside and developed a high fever.
Mu Yunnan's hands trembled as he kept changing her clothes to cool her down.
She had killed tens of thousands of people on the battlefield, and had never been so timid and fearful as she was now.
Finally, the county magistrate arrived with the county's most renowned doctors.
The head physician took her pulse and shook his head. "The cold has penetrated deep into her bones. She has been exposed to the cold for a long time and also suffers from stomach problems. I can only say that I will save her life, but we must be prepared for the worst."
"What kind of mental preparation?" Mu Yunnan gripped Yu Xi's small hand tightly, looking at him in disbelief.
"The girl will suffer from cold poisoning in winter and will have difficulty having children."
Mu Yunnan's eyes widened, his heart trembling with pain.
Was she late?
She's late?
“This cold poison didn’t develop overnight; it’s the result of years of accumulation. I’ll write a prescription first to keep the girl’s life hanging by a thread.”
Mu Yunnan felt a wave of dizziness and staggered, grabbing onto a wooden table for support.
She was reborn three days ago. After realizing the date of her rebirth, she frantically rode back from the border, staying up for three days and three nights without closing her eyes, wearing out more than a dozen horses, before finally arriving here before the Mu family could take back the fake heiress.
Even after being reborn, she still can't change Yu Xi's fate?
Is she ready to travel far now?
In the capital, there are so many famous doctors, and even the imperial physicians. I don't believe there isn't one who can cure her.
“A long journey? A carriage would be fine, but it would be too bumpy. General, please reconsider.”
The doctor didn't know the woman's identity, but he could tell from her hair ornaments and clothes that she was no ordinary commoner and must be of high status. If he could really save this little girl, he would definitely make a fortune.
If he were an ordinary person, he could have lied a bit to earn more money, but the more someone of this status he was, the less he dared to deceive them. He only dared to tell them everything he could confirm, in order to avoid being held accountable later.
“However,” the chief physician said resolutely, “if the fever subsides a little by tomorrow, the patient should be able to withstand the carriage ride.”
"You will stay here today. County Magistrate, prepare a carriage by tomorrow. It should be as comfortable and spacious as possible, and also windproof."
"Wei Chen obeys your orders."
Seeing the county magistrate's respectful attitude, the chief physician could roughly guess the patient's noble status.
We could only try our best to keep her alive with ginseng.
Mu Yunnan looked at her lying on the bed, almost silently, and felt a slight pain in his heart.
This place is remote; even traveling at full speed to the capital would take about ten days.
Moreover, they would have to travel by horse-drawn carriage.
It will be much slower.
Mu Yunnan asked the chief physician for a pen and paper, and simply drew a route map between this place and the capital.
She clearly remembered the road conditions and problems of every marching route in the Moon Kingdom, as well as some lesser trails unknown to ordinary people.
If we need to get there as quickly as possible...
Suddenly, a series of ghostly wails and howls came from outside.
Mu Yunnan immediately looked in Yu Xi's direction, and seeing that she was still asleep, he pursed his lips, picked up his knife, and walked out.
She wanted to see which one was reckless enough to risk their life.
When Mr. Hu saw her come out, he immediately collapsed to the ground, crying and shouting, "My Er Ya, how could such a thing happen! I raised you like a precious jewel, how can your father go on living if you're gone!"
Mu Yunnan swung his long sword, which landed precisely between his legs, embedding itself three feet into the ground.
"Shut up."
Father Hu cursed inwardly, but he couldn't stop sweating in the biting cold wind. Even though he was terrified, he still persevered, wiping away his tears. "You must be Er Ya's family, right? When her mother entrusted her to our family, we couldn't even afford rice. We were all skin and bones from hunger. Even so, we still went everywhere to find milk for Er Ya."
Mu Yunnan looked down at the man in front of him, who was crying and pleading for mercy, and he didn't believe a word of it.
None of the Hu family members are good; they're all ingrates.
In her previous life, how many treasures did they steal from the Mu family? And what was the result? Yu Xi was still sold out by them. If Yu Xi hadn't been smart and independent, she would have been tormented until old age.
Just thinking about it made her want to chop them all up one by one.
But no, killing them wouldn't be enough to vent my anger.
She wants them to suffer every punishment imaginable in the world.
She has plenty of time to play with them one by one, slowly and patiently.
"Is that so?" Mu Yunnan pulled his longsword from the ground, running his hand along the beautiful back of the blade. "Then tell me, what's the meaning of trying to fool this general with a fake?"
Mr. Hu's mind raced, and then he spoke obsequiously, "The Mu family..."
Mu Yunnan swung his sword again, getting even closer to the spot than before. "This general is a rough man and doesn't understand these roundabout ways. Explain it clearly and concisely. Otherwise, next time, this general won't know where to place his sword."
