Fleeing from famine? Not a chance; the divine healer's wife made her fortune.

Encountering danger in the mountains, but fortunately received help.

Su Yunlan and Xiao Yuhan returned to the group and found everyone anxiously waiting for them.

Su Yunlan didn't say much, but silently put the money away and prepared to leave.

Just then, a cold gaze was fixed on the silver coins they had just placed in the queue.

"This exile won't be too boring." A deep voice rang out from the darkness, tinged with a greedy smile.

Su Yunlan felt a chill run down her spine; she knew someone was eyeing the money they had earned.

She quickly tugged at Xiao Yuhan's hand and whispered, "Someone's eyeing our money. We need to think of something right away."

Xiao Yuhan nodded and said in a deep voice, "I know. Let's hide the money first, and then we'll take action."

The two tacitly divided the money into several portions and hid them in their clothes and bundles to ensure that nothing went wrong.

After doing all this, Su Yunlan looked up at Xiao Yuhan and said with a firm gaze, "We must find the medicinal herbs as soon as possible. These herbs are crucial to our future lives."

Xiao Yuhan nodded in agreement, and the two resolutely set off towards the mountains.

The people around them watched their retreating figures with a mixture of curiosity and confusion.

Su Yunlan and Xiao Yuhan ignored the stares, their hearts filled with only one belief: no matter what, they had to survive, and survive even better.

Not long after entering the mountains, Su Yunlan and Xiao Yuhan encountered their first challenge.

Suddenly, a ferocious wolf leaped out of the bushes, its eyes gleaming green, drool dripping from its mouth, and baring its teeth as it pounced on them.

Su Yunlan was startled and involuntarily took a step back.

Xiao Yuhan reacted quickly, shielding her behind him, his hands clenched into fists, his eyes as firm as iron.

"Lan'er, step back." Xiao Yuhan's deep voice was filled with unwavering determination.

He felt a chill in the wind behind him, and the surrounding trees swayed in the wind, as if they were also worried about their situation.

Su Yunlan bit her lower lip tightly. Although she was worried, she did not back down.

She quickly calmed down, took out a sharp short sword from her spatial storage, and whispered, "Let's deal with it together."

The howls of the wolves were deafening, and a tense atmosphere filled the air.

Instead of fighting the wolf directly, Xiao Yuhan picked up a stone from the ground and threw it in the opposite direction from the wolf.

The stone struck a tree trunk not far away, making a crisp sound. The wolf was attracted by the sound and turned to run towards the stone.

This move surprised Su Yunlan and temporarily confused the wolf.

An unexpected sense of ease spread between the two.

However, the wolf quickly realized it had been tricked, roared angrily, and turned to pounce again.

Xiao Yuhan seized the opportunity, drew the short knife from his waist, and stabbed it into the wolf's throat.

The wolf let out a mournful howl and collapsed dead.

Su Yunlan and Xiao Yuhan breathed a sigh of relief, having successfully overcome the first danger. This sense of accomplishment in defeating danger brought a sense of satisfaction to the readers.

Looking at Xiao Yuhan's heroic appearance, Su Yunlan's eyes were full of admiration, and she said softly, "Yuhan, you are really amazing."

Just then, they heard footsteps in the distance, as if someone was walking towards them.

Looking at Xiao Yuhan's heroic appearance, Su Yunlan's eyes were full of admiration. She whispered, "Yuhan, you are really amazing." Xiao Yuhan turned around and looked at her tenderly, gently patting her head. An ambiguous atmosphere flowed between the two of them.

The surrounding flowers and plants seemed to be witnessing their love, and the gentle breeze carried a faint floral fragrance, which was refreshing and delightful.

However, this tranquility did not last long.

They soon realized they were lost.

The surrounding scenery all looked the same: winding paths, dense trees, and layered mountains, making the two of them increasingly lost.

Anxiety began to creep into Su Yunlan's heart, and she unconsciously tightened her grip on the short sword in her hand.

"Yuhan, did we go the wrong way?" Su Yunlan asked in a low voice, her voice tinged with unease.

Xiao Yuhan frowned, looking around, trying to find some familiar signs.

However, a fog rolled in through the forest, blurring visibility to just a few meters.

The shadows of the trees appeared even more sinister in the mist, as if an ominous premonition permeated the air.

"Let's find a place to rest first and calmly analyze the situation," Xiao Yuhan said in a deep voice, his tone firm.

He took Su Yunlan's hand and walked towards a flat open space not far away.

After the two sat down, Su Yunlan took out some dry food and water from her spatial storage and handed them to Xiao Yuhan.

He took the water bottle, took a small sip, and then handed it to Su Yunlan.

The two ate their dry rations in silence, each plotting their next move.

Just then, they heard footsteps in the distance, as if someone was walking towards them.

The footsteps drew closer, carrying a firm and steady rhythm.

Su Yunlan and Xiao Yuhan stood up alertly. Xiao Yuhan held a short knife, while Su Yunlan gripped a short sword. The two stood back to back, vigilantly observing their surroundings.

A figure gradually appeared in the mist.

It was a tall man, holding a bow and arrow, with a hint of wariness in his eyes.

He stopped a few meters away, looking Su Yunlan and Xiao Yuhan up and down, his face showing a hint of doubt, but more so an air of boldness.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?" The man's voice was deep and resonant, with a touch of ruggedness from the mountains.

Su Yunlan and Xiao Yuhan exchanged a glance, secretly relieved.

However, they knew this was just the beginning.

Xiao Yuhan stepped forward, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "We are exiles who have come into the mountains to find some medicinal herbs."

The man raised an eyebrow, tightened his grip on the bow and arrow, and said with distrust, "Exiled people? Hmph, I think you've come to the mountains to gather information!" His voice was rough like sandpaper, carrying an unquestionable authority.

Upon seeing this, Su Yunlan's heart stirred.

Without making a sound, she took out a wheat-scented flatbread from her spatial storage, handed it to the man, and said with a smile, "Brother, we really are exiles. This is our own homemade rations. Please try it."

The man looked at the golden pancake in Su Yunlan's hand, took it, and smelled it. The rich aroma of wheat wafted up.

He tentatively took a small bite, and the crisp texture and subtle sweetness instantly won over his taste buds.

He finished the pancake in a few bites, his eyes filled with surprise.

"Where did you get this pancake?" His tone had softened considerably, but a hint of wariness remained.

Su Yunlan said with a smile, "We did it ourselves, we meant no harm."

Looking into Su Yunlan's clear eyes, and then at the taciturn Xiao Yuhan beside her, the man's wariness finally dissipated somewhat.

He put down his bow and arrows and said, "Judging from your appearance, you don't seem like bad people. My name is Xiong Da, and I'm a hunter from these mountains. What are you doing here?"

Su Yunlan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Brother Xiong, we went into the mountains to find some precious medicinal herbs, but we got lost."

Xiong Da nodded and said in a gruff voice, "These mountains are not simple. It's normal for you two outsiders to get lost. I can lead you for a while because of these pancakes, but be careful. There are not only wild animals in these mountains, but also other dangers." After saying that, he shouldered his bow and arrows, turned around and left. The rough footsteps tapped on the ground, which sounded particularly clear in the mist.

Su Yunlan and Xiao Yuhan exchanged a glance, knowing that this was their only hope at the moment, and followed closely behind.

The two followed Xiong Da and slowly walked into the depths of the fog.
