Famine and exile: I brought the Spirit Spring to save the entire Marquis's mansion.

"This water isn't..."

Li Yuzhi wanted to stop it, but she couldn't bear to.

Jintang initially tried to push the earthenware jar away, but being young, she couldn't control herself once she got wet. The spiritual spring water was sweeter than ordinary water, and how could someone who was extremely thirsty resist such a temptation?

Jintang drank it in big gulps.

Li Yuzhi's eyes were red, and in that instant, a cool feeling seemed to surge into her heart, dispelling the confusion in her heart.

Watching her son drink water brings her more satisfaction than drinking it herself.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, there's enough water."

Sang Ning originally wanted to fill the water bag, but she was afraid that the constables would not be able to find water and would steal it, so she decided against it. She did not want to waste the spiritual water.

The two little girls woke up hungry and looked at Sang Ning with longing eyes.

"Everyone should have some drinks. At this time, your health is the most important thing."

Unfortunately, neither the old lady nor her sister-in-law were willing to drink it, and they only took two small sips.

After the three children had finished drinking, Sang Ning began to clean up the silkworm erosion.

She didn't shy away from it at all, and immediately rolled up Huo Chang'an's trouser leg, continuing to roll it upwards.

Huo Chang'an grabbed her wrist, his astonishment mixed with barely suppressed anger.

"...There are no bugs on it."

"How do you know if you have it or not if you don't feel it?"

"I just know it."

"Alright, listen to me. Even if there are no bugs, the wound still needs to be treated."

Sang Ning's coaxing tone, like that of someone coaxing a child, stunned Huo Chang'an.

At this moment, the eldest sister-in-law had already consciously stepped aside, and the old lady came over and said, "Fourth son, listen to me. This is not the capital, there are not so many taboos here."

The old lady lived in the northern frontier with the Marquis of Boyang for many years when she was young, so she didn't take these rules too seriously.

Besides, Sang Ning'er is his rightful wife.

Huo Chang'an pursed his lips and let go.

Her trouser legs were rolled up to her thighs, and the stench of rotting flesh was overwhelming, but she seemed oblivious to it, her eyes fixed intently on the scene.

Huo Chang'an felt ashamed. His legs, which had been numb, suddenly felt numb, itchy, and burning.

He simply closed his eyes, leaned against the earthen wall, and used his arms to support his unsteady body.

These two legs, once strong and powerful, with the outline of muscles still visible, have begun to soften due to poor blood circulation, and will atrophy if left untreated.

Sang Ning didn't know if the spiritual spring water could repair her meridians, but she decided to give it a try.

After all, this is a problem that even modern medicine cannot solve.

The brine slowly flowed towards the decaying flesh.

At some point, Huo Chang'an opened his eyes again.

The girl's eyes were clear, without a trace of disgust, only focus and composure. Behind her, the sky was filled with fiery red clouds, which gilded her with a layer of gold and red.

Brilliant as fire.

He was momentarily dazed.

Is she Sang Ning'er?

"Grandmother, I'm scared..."

Xiao Jinxiu and Jinxin buried their heads in the old lady's arms, crying.

The old lady's eyes widened in horror as she saw red worm heads suddenly emerging from the rotting flesh.

They seemed to be being chased by enemy troops, rushing forward in a frenzy that gave one goosebumps.

Sang Ning moved extremely quickly, using two thin twigs to pinch the insect heads and pull them out one by one.

Then place it on the ground.

The shortest is one centimeter, and the longest is two or three centimeters!

Round and plump, like a fat silkworm!

Even Huo Chang'an himself felt nauseous and wanted to vomit.

Sang Ning, however, remained calm and showed no fear of these disgusting insects!

Twenty-one in total!

Sang Ning neatly arranged them on the ground.

The silkworms, their bellies round from being eaten, writhed clumsily, struggling even to crawl.

Only after no more worms came out of the meat did Sang Ning begin to scrape away the rotten flesh.

Girls from ordinary families would never understand this.

However, Sang Ning's knife work was swift and skillful, showing no fear of bloodshed, which made the old lady even more suspicious.

Could it be that the Sang family had been hiding their true abilities all along?

Because there was no medicine available, after scraping away the necrotic tissue, Sang Ning rinsed the wound with water.

Huo Chang'an frowned with heartache and couldn't help but whisper in a hoarse voice, "Don't waste water."

His legs aren't even worth as much as a can of water now.

"Don't worry, there's still water. I've hidden it. I'll go get some more tonight."

Sang Ning raised an eyebrow and whispered, her tone quite smug.

Under such dire circumstances, Huo Chang'an had long since grown accustomed to the numb and sorrowful expressions of his family.

Sang Ning's carefree and unconventional demeanor was full of vitality, as if what lay ahead was not an abyss or hell.

Once again, the question arose in my mind: What kind of person is she?

He also hated Sang Ning'er.

Simply because she is the daughter of my enemy.

But ever since she uttered those righteous and awe-inspiring words, for some reason, I've always wanted to study her and see through her.

Inquiry overshadowed hatred.

It wasn't like this before!

Before their marriage, he had witnessed her arguing with her cousin on the street. He didn't know who provoked her first, but he knew that Sang Ning'er pushed her cousin down in the end, which was very rude and ill-mannered.

His friends at the time expressed deep sympathy for him.

"Sang Ning'er, why did you push over the narcissus when you were in the capital?" he suddenly asked.

Sang Ning was taken aback.

After thinking for a moment, she said, "She accused me of using despicable means to seduce you, and of having a mother but no mother to raise me."

"If you're speaking up for her, then I'm sorry, I don't think I've done anything wrong."

It's just that the original owner wasn't smart; she got into a fight in the street, making herself a laughingstock.

If it were her, I'd kill her!

Huo Chang'an found his own thoughts laughable.

Who else could she be but Sang Ning'er? Could there be monsters in this world?

After finishing his business, Sang Ning took advantage of the moment when no one was looking, grabbed the Corrosive Thoughts from the ground, and threw them into his spatial storage.

Although this silkworm is disgusting, it is a good medicinal material. When dried and ground into powder, it has a remarkable effect on treating rheumatism.

Unbeknownst to her, Huo Jintang behind her was staring at her with wide, bulging eyes.

After hesitating for a long time, he cautiously stepped forward and whispered, "Fourth Aunt, where did you put the bugs?"

Although the little boy was covered in dirt, he was in much better spirits, his voice was clear, and his breathing was normal.

The effects of Lingquan water are indeed powerful.

He was the first person in the Huo family to acknowledge her identity. He was sensible and polite, and Sang Ning liked him very much.

At this moment, the little boy tried his best to maintain his composure, his two clear black and white eyes watching Sang Ning's hand warily.

I'm afraid a worm's head might suddenly pop out.

"You've eaten?" Sang Ning teased him.

Huo Jintang's eyes widened even more, and the scene froze for five seconds.

"Didn't you say it was poisonous?"

The tremor in her voice was uncontrollable despite her best efforts to remain calm.

"Oh, I see. If it gets into the skin and the toxins enter the bloodstream, that's indeed very dangerous. But it's different if it gets into your stomach. Our stomach acid has a strong decomposing effect and will quickly dissolve it, turning it into excrement."

The screen froze for another five seconds.

Then the little boy's eyes went from shock to terror and then to pity.

"Fourth Aunt, you must be starving. There's still some dry food left over from what Fourth Uncle gave me. You can have it all."

"Eating rotten flesh will harm your health."

Sang Ning was deeply moved when she saw the dark, fluffy cornbread handed to her by the little hand.

I almost couldn't resist giving him a couple of kisses.

In the end, afraid of scaring him, I just pinched his little face.

Even so, the little kid was still in a hurry to hide, his face flushed with embarrassment.

"Auntie isn't hungry, you can keep it for yourself."

After Sang Ning finished speaking, he reached into his pocket, took out a few peanuts from his spatial storage, and used his body to shield Jin Tang from view as he stuffed them into her hands.

"Hide it and eat it secretly so no one will find out."

Xiao Jintang gripped the reins tightly in a panic, glancing towards the constables, her hands trembling.
