"So...were they attacked by a ghost?"

Ke Xiuming pointed at the four burly men on the ground and felt as if he were dreaming.

In broad daylight, could it be that we've seen a ghost?

Lin Shuyun straightened the slightly crooked wooden hairpin in her hair and began to spout nonsense with a straight face.

"A chivalrous hero just happened to pass by, saw injustice, drew his sword to help, and then... beat them all to a pulp."

Ke Xiuming: Do I look like an idiot to you?

"Believe it or not." Lin Shuyun took two steps, but her shoes were too heavy to walk in, so she simply tied them up with a straw rope.

At least he's not opening his mouth anymore.

Ke Xiuming stared blankly at him.

Does this work too?

Seeing Lin Shuyun about to leave, he hurriedly chased after her, "Madam Lin, where are you going?"

"Go home." Lin Shuyun said without turning her head.

After walking a few steps, he noticed Ke Xiuming following him and asked, puzzled, "Why are you following me?"

"Um... could you take me back with you?" Ke Xiu smiled at Lin Shuyun, his manner shy and hesitant, just like a timid young wife.

Lin Shuyun found it offensive and refused decisively, "No, don't you have a home? If you're not going home, what are you doing following me?"

She has a husband, so what's the point of bringing a grown man home, especially since this guy has ulterior motives towards her?

Ke Xiuming looked like he was about to cry. "Grandma, someone wants to kill me. I'm too scared to go back now. Please help me."

He was going out for fun today, but he didn't bring many people with him. Unexpectedly, he encountered so-called robbers shortly after he left.

He knew what was going on, and that he couldn't go back at this critical juncture.

He wanted to put on a show to make those people believe that he had disappeared or died.

Following Lin Shuyun is absolutely safe. She can take down four burly men in just a few breaths. It's incredibly reassuring.

He was truly blind and foolish before, daring to flirt with this young lady. If God gave him a second chance, he would definitely treat her with great respect and treat her like royalty.

Lin Shuyun looked Boss Ke up and down, "You, a young master, are in such a sorry state. Don't you know how to hire a few more bodyguards?"

Ke Xiuming remained silent. He usually had guards with him, but it was difficult to guard against a thief within his own ranks, so what could he say?

Lin Shuyun quickened her pace as she spoke, "I'm going home. If you're not going to the clinic, then come with me. Don't blame me if you can't keep up."

Ke Xiuming could barely keep up with him, and he was already panting after just a few steps.

The wound on my arm was soaked with sweat, making it sting even more.

"Grandma, why are we walking? My carriage is over there."

Ke Xiuming pointed to the carriage not far away; the horses were trained and hadn't run away.

"Why didn't you say so earlier!" Lin Shuyun said as she went to fetch the carriage.

Ke Xiuming was afraid that this young lady would leave him behind, so he quickly climbed up.

Once inside the carriage, I remembered something: "Do you know how to drive?"

Lin Shuyun rolled her eyes. She could pull a donkey cart, so she could probably pull a horse-drawn carriage too.

She was indeed exceptionally talented; she could drive a horse-drawn carriage.

As they approached the town, Ke Xiuming said weakly, "Grandma, I've cut my arm. Could you please buy some medicine?"

"Give me the money!" Lin Shuyun held out her hand.

She's willing to help if you give her money, otherwise she won't.

Ke Xiuming was embarrassed. "Um... could you lend me some first? I'll pay you back when I get back to the Ke family."

He never carries any money with him when he goes out. Ah Wang used to carry his money bag, but he let Ah Wang run away, so he is penniless right now.

Lin Shuyun's eyes widened: You, a big boss, are borrowing money? It's one thing to not have money for running errands, but you expect me to pay for the medicine?

Even someone as thick-skinned as Ke Xiuming couldn't stand being stared at like that.

He rummaged through his clothes and pulled out a translucent jade pendant, which he reluctantly handed over.

"This is my personal jade pendant. I'm leaving it with you as collateral. I'll redeem it later with the money, so please don't sell it to me."

This jade pendant not only represents his identity, but also has special significance for him, so he really doesn't want to take it out.

But this old lady wouldn't act without seeing the benefits; she might just abandon him and run away. So he gritted his teeth, took out the money, and planned to redeem it later.

Lin Shuyun was greedy for money...

Oh no, it should be "helpful," because he quickly put away the jade pendant, got off the carriage, and went to buy medicine.

The clinic only had ordinary medicines; there were no wound medicines.

After buying the medicine, Lin Shuyun looked at Ke Xiuming, who was in pain after getting his bandages done, and said, "There's no one in the clinic right now, only Doctor Yang is here. You could get out of the car and get your bandages done."

Ke Xiuming smiled through gritted teeth, "Why didn't you say so sooner?"

Even when they were furious, they didn't dare to vent their anger at all.

The woman in front of him was clearly beautiful, and she was also skilled in poisoning and ruthless. He was afraid that if he angered her, he wouldn't even know how he died.

"Oh, I forgot." Lin Shuyun's expression was as innocent as could be.

A horse-drawn carriage is faster than a donkey cart.

Upon arriving in the village, Lin Shuyun's carriage stopped behind the courtyard.

"You wait for me here. I'm going to find some coal briquettes. Once I find them, I'll head back to the county town. You can stay there then."

Ke Xiuming had no objections whatsoever, and didn't even know what a coal ball was. He sat obediently in the carriage, not daring to ask for a drink of water.

"Ball!"

Lin Shuyun called out, and sure enough, Meiqiu wasn't home.

Just as I was about to go into the mountains to look for it, a sudden inspiration struck me, and I ran to the kitchen and started a fire on the stove.

Coal briquettes always arrive right on time at mealtimes; it's because I've seen the smoke from the cooking fire.

Sure enough, less than half an hour later, Coal Ball's meowing sound rang out from the top of the wall.

Lin Shuyun said, "Coal Ball, my husband is going to study in the county town. I need to rent a house there for the time being. Will you come with me? If you do, come over and I'll carry you."

She knew that Coal Ball was smart and could understand human speech, so she asked if it was far and if she would go with her.

Coal Ball jumped into Lin Shuyun's arms: Of course I'll follow you, otherwise what if you get bullied by that cripple?

Lin Shuyun hugged the coal ball and gave it a kiss.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a yellow, furry thing peeking out from under my brow.

"tiger?"

Lin Shuyun almost doubted her own eyes.

As a result, the tiger's head appeared out completely, staring at her with two big eyes.

Lin Shuyun: ...

The shy coal ball turned around and bared its teeth at its foolish underling: Get lost, you idiot! Who told you to come down the mountain? Aren't you afraid someone will soak you in tiger bone wine?!

Tiger's little brother, the dog, sneered: I came with the king. King, I heard her call you something like "ball" just now. Isn't the king's name Batian?

Coal Ball: Get lost! You misheard, she said the kitchen needs more coal, I'm called Batian!

Seeing that Coal Ball was in a bad mood and kept meowing at the tiger, Lin Shuyun stroked Coal Ball's cat to soothe it and then spoke while stroking its chin.

"This tiger looks quite valuable? Tiger penis must be very nutritious, right?"

Tiger Brother: Suddenly I feel a chill on my balls.

With a howl, it turned and ran.
