They were in charge of being beautiful, and she was in charge of taking the hits.

After diagnosing the condition, Han Yuxiu frowned and searched through his medicine chest. He sent someone back, but they couldn't find the herb. He asked all the doctors around him, but they couldn't find it either. Finally, an old man mentioned that the herb might grow on the cliffs of the mountain.

Without saying a word, Han Yuxiu, a doctor with the heart of a parent, and besides, the person lying in front of him was a child, didn't think much of it, so he led the horse over and rode it towards the mountain. However, all of this was seen by someone with a keen eye, who secretly reported it to the man in black.

"Good, just find a chance for them to scatter, then eliminate them one by one. It will be easier that way. Give the order and make sure it's done cleanly."

"Yes!"

Then others rode horses and followed Han Yuxiu.

By afternoon, Han Yuxiu was nowhere to be found, so Wu Ziyan asked the people, "Have you seen Doctor Han?"

One of the villagers replied, "Doctor Han said this morning that he was going to the mountain to collect herbs, and he should be back by now."

Upon hearing this, Wu Ziyan knew something was wrong and turned to Chu Qiu, saying, "They're probably trying to distract us! I'll go out and look!"

After saying that, he rode off. Chu Qiu wanted to follow, but Wu Ziyan said, "We need to leave our own people here. If you leave too, Ziliang and Boyou might not be able to handle it. If I haven't returned by dark, bring people to look for us. And make sure everyone makes a big commotion!"

Seeing the trust in Wu Ziyan's eyes, Chu Qiu was momentarily stunned. He nodded, and Wu Ziyan rode off quickly, thinking to himself, "I hope nothing bad happens to Han Yuxiu."

The mountain fog was thick. Han Yuxiu was carefully digging up a medicinal herb with a small hoe. He breathed a sigh of relief as soon as he dug it up, because the roots of this herb were the most important part. If they were damaged, the medicinal effect would be reduced by half. He put it in his basket and then dug up the next one.

Just then, several masked men ran out of the woods, chuckling maliciously: "Hey, there's a handsome young man here!"

Han Yuxiu looked up in surprise, not expecting to find bandits here. But having experienced what happened last time, he remained calm and asked, "Who are you people?"

"Who do you think we are? Hahaha! Sisters, who do you think we are?" Their laughter grew even more unrestrained.

"We're mountain bandits, hahaha!"

These people were indeed real mountain bandits who had been wandering around and had only recently arrived here. They found the place barren and had not had enough to eat for several days.

They carried gleaming broadswords, and to be honest, it was a bit difficult for them. The group walked towards Han Yuxiu, who was no longer the same person he used to be. After being out there for so long, he coldly stared at the female thieves.

"Don't come any closer! My men are right behind us. If they arrest you, you'll be in deep trouble!" Han Yuxiu's eyes were firm, making the bandits feel a little guilty.

One person said, "Sister, what if what this kid is saying is true?"

“We don’t even have food to eat, what are we afraid of? Judging from his tone, he must be someone with food at home. It would be good to tie him up and ask for some food! We can’t let our family go hungry.”

Listening to their conversation, Han Yuxiu felt that they weren't entirely bad people; they were being forced into it. Just then, sure enough, the sound of horses' hooves came from behind. Han Yuxiu thought to himself, "What a coincidence! But I didn't bring anyone with me when I went out!"

"Big sister, let's run! People are coming!" Hearing the sound of horses' hooves, they felt a little guilty.

"Arrest this kid first."

Han Yuxiu picked up the basket and ran quickly towards the sound of hooves. Little did he know that going forward was like entering a tiger's den, and retreating was like entering a wolf's lair. Without thinking too much, Han Yuxiu shouted, "Bandits!"

This shout confirmed his location for the pursuers, and several men in black said, "He's over there."

The bandits behind him were also determined to pursue him. The two groups clashed and faced each other. Han Yuxiu looked at the man in black and roughly understood that this group was not theirs either. The man in black said coldly, "Just small fry. Remember, leave no one alive!"

The bandit looked at Han Yuxiu and said, "This isn't one of yours!"

Han Yuxiu was also confused, but then realized that it might be aimed at Wu Ziyan's people and said, "You are not such bad people. You should run for your lives. They are probably after me."

"Even if we wanted to run, there's nowhere to escape!" one person said with a mournful face.

Swords clashed and clanged, and Han Yuxiu, who was not skilled in martial arts, could only dodge and weave, then turn back and run into the woods, at least providing some cover.

Seeing that things were not going well, the bandits turned back, but the men in black were numerous and powerful, and they were in hot pursuit, soon forcing them into the depths of the forest.

Wu Ziyan spurred her horse on, and seeing the fresh hoofprints on the road, she knew that she was not far away. After a while, she found the place where they had briefly stopped and continued on her way.

Hearing a sound coming from the mountain in the distance, Wu Ziyan listened carefully and heard the bandits shouting: "Damn it, I'm not afraid of anything, we've got a grudge against you, why are you trying to kill us the moment we meet!"

“You saw what you shouldn’t have seen, so of course you have to die!” The men in black didn’t waste any words.

Han Yuxiu hid behind a tree, trembling with fear. His heart was pounding. He slowly calmed his breathing, afraid of being discovered. Just then, there was a "plop" sound. He recognized the sound; it was the sound of a knife piercing flesh.

"Stop hiding. If you come out, I'll consider letting these petty thieves go."

After a while, screams could be heard one after another, but the knife was not used to kill him. It was used to slowly torture him, gradually breaking down Han Yuxiu's psychological defenses.

At this moment, a bandit shouted, "Give me a quick death! I have no connection with that kid, torturing me won't make him come out!"

Han Yuxiu was a healer by nature, and was kind-hearted. Upon hearing such a voice, he stood up and slowly emerged from behind the tree: "You said you would let them go, right?"

"Kid, are you stupid?! Go, grab him! Throw the rest off the cliff!"

One group of people lifted the bandits and threw them off the cliff, while the others went to capture Han Yuxiu. Seeing this, Han Yuxiu also ran towards the cliff.

As evening approached, the fog reduced visibility by half. Han Yuxiu ran, chased after him, and Wu Ziyan drew ever closer.

"It looks like someone's coming!" one of the men in black said to the other.

"who!"

"It looks like Wu Ziyan!"

Upon hearing that Wu Ziyan had arrived, Han Yuxiu felt a sense of relief, thinking that he was probably not destined to die. However, behind him was a cliff, and in front of him were villains. Several men in black were closing in step by step. Han Yuxiu slipped, fell backward, and fell down.

A chill ran through him. It seemed he was going to die here. If he died, who would take care of his mother in her old age? At that moment, images of his time with Wu Ziyan flashed through his mind. He complained, "If I don't die, then Wu Ziyan owes me this!"

The man in black, seeing that the mission was accomplished, said, "Don't expose yourself. Our target today isn't Wu Ziyan!"

He hurriedly rode away, and Wu Ziyan arrived later. He was alone, and the sky in the forest was dark. He had no choice but to shout at the top of his lungs, "Han Yuxiu! Han Yuxiu!"
