They closed the mountain to tend the fields.

Taking advantage of the early hour, Yan Nanfei picked up his wood-chopping knife and went to chop wood.

The firewood at home is almost used up.

It will last for at most two or three more days.

Yan Nanfei walked and stopped intermittently, climbing to the halfway point of the mountain.

The trees at the foot of the mountain have been almost completely cut down, leaving large areas bare.

"Damn, I almost died from exhaustion!"

Yan Nanfei's mouth was dry, so he plopped down on a large rock beside him. Sweat streamed down his face and down his neck, soaking his clothes.

She raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, and was just about to take out a bottle of cola from her spatial storage when...

A weak cry for help came from behind her. Yan Nanfei got up in confusion and went to find the source of the sound.

In a secluded corner, they found a man with a pale face.

Yan Nanfei recognized him; he was Hua Tuo, a widow in the village.

His wife was seriously ill at the time.

He was married off to bring good luck.

Unfortunately, his wife died of illness shortly after the bridal sedan chair landed.

His wife's parents, who were also his in-laws, were so heartbroken that they passed away one day, following his wife in death.

What should have been a joyous occasion turned into a notorious funeral in the surrounding area.

Hua Tuo was also criticized behind his back, called a jinx, an unlucky person, and said to have brought death to his wife's family..."

Yan Nanfei recalled that this Hua Tuo seemed to be a medical student who usually made a living by collecting herbs in the mountains, drying them, and selling them.

In a matriarchal world, the fact that he was able to study medicine shows that his parents doted on him; otherwise, he would have been married off long ago to earn a dowry.

After all, Hua Tuo is quite good-looking.

"What's wrong with you?" Yan Nanfei walked over to him and squatted down, not daring to help him up rashly.

If he has broken a bone somewhere, it will only worsen his injury.

Hua Tuo was trembling with pain all over his body, his forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his eyes were unfocused.

He couldn't see who it was, but his strong will to survive made him say with difficulty, "I fell from up there, and I think I hurt my right leg..."

Yan Nanfei frowned, seeing the pain on his face, as if he were experiencing it himself, imagining how painful it would be if he were injured like that.

Yan Nanfei told him not to move and parted his lower body, which was hidden in the grass.

His right leg was a bloody mess, but fortunately, no bones were broken; his leg bones remained straight, not crooked.

He only injured his leg, but something seems off about him.

I felt dizzy and lightheaded, as if I had hit my head?

Thinking of this, Yan Nanfei carefully lifted his head.

His head did indeed hit the stone, and he bled profusely; her hands were stained with blood.

It's unrealistic to go find a doctor halfway up the mountain; we can only save ourselves.

Yan Nanfei saw that he was drowsy and was afraid that he would not wake up if he fell asleep.

They pinched the flesh on his inner thigh, and the pain made his eyes widen, seemingly waking him up a bit.

I wanted to pat his face, but his head was injured, and I didn't want to kill him.

"Hold on, don't fall asleep, I'll take you down the mountain!"

Hua Tuo mumbled a "hmm" in his sleep, his eyelids feeling as heavy as a ton of bricks.

Yan Nanfei gritted his teeth, struggled to lift his upper body, placed him on his shoulder, and slowly moved down the mountain step by step.

Hua Tuo's weight pressed down on her thin back, making it extremely difficult for her.

Although this is a matriarchal world, men are still taller than women.

Hua Tuo is estimated to be 1.85 meters tall, while she is only 1.65 meters tall, so it is indeed a bit of a stretch for her to carry him.

This mountain path is rugged and steep, unlike the flat terrain at the foot of the mountain. A slight misstep could lead to a fall.

Yan Nanfei gritted his teeth and continued to move forward.

One step, two steps…

Finally, she carried Huatuo down the mountain…

By this time, it was getting late.

Yan Nanfei's legs went weak, and he almost threw Hua Tuo off.

At this moment, two or three villagers passing by saw Yan Nanfei carrying Hua Tuo on his back and avoided him at all costs.

Yan Nanfei wanted them to lend a hand, but A Beng barked at the dog, and the more it barked, the further away it went…

Damn it, can't you be a little more open-minded and stop being so superstitious?!

Yan Nanfei cursed and swore, while pinching Hua Tuo's thigh as if afraid he would die.

Before I had taken two steps, I saw Fengshan running towards me.

"My lady, why are you carrying Hua Tuo on your back?" Feng Shan asked as he carried Hua Tuo on his back, looking at Yan Nanfei, who was covered in sweat and panting heavily, with heartache.

"Let's talk as we go!" Yan Nanfei didn't bother to explain on the spot, thinking he would catch the last donkey cart trip before dark to take Hua Tuo to town.

Unfortunately, the donkey cart had already left.

After listening to Yan Nanfei's words, Feng Shan finally understood what had happened.

"My lady, shall I go and borrow Aunt Daya's oxcart?" Feng Shan couldn't bear to see a life lost.

Yan Nanfei glanced at Hua Tuo's increasingly pale face, then steeled his resolve: "It's too late, come with me!"

Yan Nanfei remembered that once it got dark, there would be no one on any of the main roads or small paths.

Legend has it that over two hundred years ago, a villager encountered a tiger at night and was eaten…

But Yan Nanfei didn't believe it. If it were true, the county government would have already sent troops to hunt down the tiger.

"My lady, are we going to walk there?"

Feng Shan's eyebrows were furrowed; walking and riding in an oxcart were completely incomparable.

"The mountain is closed. No matter what you see later, don't be shocked, okay? Don't throw Huatuo to the ground!"

Yan Nanfei took it very seriously and solemnly instructed that the mountain be closed.

Feng Shan nodded emphatically and followed Yan Nanfei, walking slowly away along the road.

After moving several dozen meters away from the village entrance, Yan Nanfei turned back to make sure that the village entrance could not see them.

"Seal the mountain. I'm going to conjure up something big right here." Yan Nanfei thoughtfully reminded him a second before transforming, lest he be startled.

"Yes, my lady!" Feng Shan understood that the immortals must have sent something to Yan Nanfei again, and that's what Hua Tuo was all about!

No sooner had the words "close the mountain" been spoken than a black sedan appeared out of thin air!

Feng Shan's eyes widened. Before he could ask any questions, Yan Nanfei opened the car door and told him to put Hua Tuo in. Then he told Feng Shan to sit down and lay Hua Tuo flat on his lap, with his hands supporting Hua Tuo's head.

Yan Nanfei adjusted Hua Tuo's posture, immediately took the driver's seat, and started the car.

The moment the car started, Fengshan was caught off guard and startled.

How can this weird thing run so fast?

Yan Nanfei sped along, and just before reaching the city gate, he put the car back into his spatial storage.

The mountain was sealed off, and no further questions were asked. Right now, the most important thing was Huatuo's life.

They hurried as fast as they could and finally arrived at the clinic.

At this point, Huatuo was barely hanging on by a thread.

The doctor examined him and exclaimed that he was incredibly lucky to have survived.

Hua Tuo was taken inside for treatment by the doctor and his medical apprentice, and Yan Nanfei, who had been on edge, finally relaxed.

She breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Feng Shan, who was also drenched in sweat: "Feng Shan, thank goodness you're here, otherwise I definitely wouldn't have been able to get here so quickly on my own."

Feng Shan raised his hand and wiped the sweat from her forehead: "My wife, it's fortunate that you're here, otherwise Hua Tuo would surely be dead."
