After being wrongly married, I stabbed my husband to death and became famous throughout the world.

She does have the space to move the Li family out of the house, but the property deeds are useless once they're taken away.

Li Chutian was a respectable man, so all the contracts in his family were registered with the government. They didn't belong to anyone who took them. If Li Chutian died, there would still be a male heir, Li Chuiguang, who, even though he was young, could still take possession of everything in the Li family.

Now that she has a little advantage, Li Chuiguang's benefits are less, and he can be more temperamental.

That younger brother has never taken her seriously. If he were to see something in her hands one day, who knows how his little mind would twist into a twisted shape.

Seeing that Li Shu readily agreed, Li Chutian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He no longer cared whether Li Shu was an obedient daughter; suddenly, he lost his former fatherly authority.

Li Shu kept her word. In the following days, she did not cause trouble for Li Chutian, but focused on practicing her archery skills and preparing for the upcoming winter.

The cold air arrived very suddenly.

The number of animals in the forest has decreased significantly. Li Shu used to occasionally see wild rabbits and pheasants, but now they are almost nowhere to be seen. Moreover, the paths in the forest are becoming increasingly difficult to walk on, with a thin layer of ice covering almost all the rocks.

Although she didn't go to see Li Chutian, she could guess that he was definitely not having an easy time these days.

During this time, Li Shu also saw other woodcutters. Even the strong and able-bodied men were struggling to work in this weather. Their hands and faces were covered in frostbite, and the snow and frost falling from the trees while they were chopping wood were almost like being drenched in an icy rain.

Li Shu is no longer bound by Li Chutian's control, and can go down the mountain directly.

However, she didn't rush to leave. Instead, she chose a better day, carried a basket of things, and planned to take a walk towards the military camp.

A few days ago, she found a batch of old ginger in the mountains. It wasn't a lot, but it was probably planted by people who had been imprisoned before. This stuff can circulate qi and dispel cold, and Li Shu thought that the military camp would probably collect it.

Of course, she wasn't entirely sure either.

If she couldn't get in carrying this, then she would have to be a good person and deliver firewood to Li Chutian when he couldn't walk anymore.

The rear of the military camp was also heavily guarded.

But Li Shu specifically chose the day he was delivering firewood, so the chances of him sneaking in were higher.

Li Shu also saw Li Chutian. This man... had lost a lot of weight and exuded a cold aura. However, the clothes he wore were thicker than those of the other firewood cutters, so he must have spent a lot of money.

Upon seeing Li Shu, Li Chutian surprisingly did not show any dissatisfaction.

“Brother officer, I’d like to go in and deliver some ginger to Doctor Cheng. The soldiers in the army must need these things too. It’s not much, but it’ll be enough to make a few pots of ginger tea. Could you please show me the way?” Li Shu said, handing over a portion of the ginger he had prepared beforehand. “It’s cold, and you must be tired from your mission. You should drink some ginger tea to ward off the cold when you go in and out…”

She didn't use money to bribe them; in this mountain, having too much money isn't a good thing.

The other party did not refuse, searched her bamboo basket to make sure that there was nothing inappropriate hidden inside, and then let her go inside for a walk.

Upon entering the military camp, Li Shu sensed an unusual atmosphere.

The soldiers walking around didn't look too good. Although it was a cold winter and life was hard, she felt that these people looked rather pale.

The firewood cutters delivered the firewood to the supply camp, which was not far from the camp where the wounded soldiers were treated. After prior arrangement, Li Shu could inquire about and look for people in these tents, but unauthorized personnel were not allowed to approach the main military camp at the front.

Li Shu didn't seek death; she was simply looking for a doctor she knew.

They didn't find Cheng Mian, but they did see the little old man they had met in the mountains before.

Li Shu handed everything to the old man in one go, his face full of enthusiasm: "I asked around and everyone said that Doctor Cheng is busy and unavailable. I don't want to delay his important business, so I'm asking you to help me distribute these things to suitable people. It's my way of showing my appreciation."

The old man didn't have a good impression of Li Shu, after all, Li Shu's behavior when Zhou died didn't seem like that of a kind person.

But at this moment, she sincerely gave the gift without asking for anything in return.

She secretly rubbed her frostbitten hands together, revealing a hint of unease.

"It's ginger? You've brought the right thing! There's quite a lot in this basket, it must be heavy. It's impressive that you, with your small frame, carried so much." The other person's attitude was gentle. "There's some hot tea over there, have a cup before you go."

The journey there and back wasn't short, and if we let this little girl leave now, she'll probably catch a cold when she gets back.

Li Shu nodded and obediently sat down.

She watched the soldiers coming and going in the tents, observing them discreetly.

The tent reeked of blood, and a row of pale-faced people lay on the ground, all looking quite badly injured. Li Shu took out a piece of dry rations from his pocket and began to eat it while drinking tea. This commotion clearly attracted the attention of many people.

The old doctor glanced at her and immediately called her over: "They are all seriously wounded soldiers, some of whom are still on a fast and dry diet. You should put the bread away for now, so as not to upset them."

Li Shu immediately complied: "I'm sorry, I didn't know..."

"Uncle, why are there so many wounded? The weather is so cold now, shouldn't we be taking a break?" Li Shu asked seemingly casually, but with great concern. "My uncle is a military household member and is currently in the army. He's in the Divine Bow Battalion. Is it this dangerous for him too?"

"The war will only get more intense in winter. Those barbaric bandits outside are always thinking of entering the pass to plunder some benefits..." The old man sighed. "The Divine Bow Battalion is safer than the soldiers in other battalions, but fighting... is about risking your life to fight. Today may be fine, but who knows if things will be fine tomorrow?"

The other party's attitude was somewhat pessimistic.

“Everything will be alright! My uncle told me before that with a marshal guarding the army, as long as the rear supplies are sufficient, the enemy won’t be able to reach the interior!” Li Shu said, then added with some worry, “I caught a rabbit half a month ago and dried the meat. I couldn’t bring it this time, but I’ll bring it to my uncle next time. Uncle, could you please pass it on to me then?”

"A rabbit? That's better than this ginger, but one or two won't do. I think you should keep it for yourself. If you send it here, how will it be your uncle's turn?" The old man gave a wry smile.

Li Shu paused for a moment.

She left early today and arrived at the military camp around noon.

At this time, the military camp should be around mealtime.

She went to the supply camp first, but didn't see much joy on the soldiers' faces. The dishes simmering in the big pots didn't smell very appetizing, and seemed to lack oil.

This was Li Shu's first time in a military camp, and she was unfamiliar with the place. However, she felt that the atmosphere in the camp should not be so dejected, given that the garrison had won many victories.

But she didn't want to ask too many questions, lest it arouse suspicion.
