The fire in the cave was relit, and apart from a few children who were sleeping like piglets, Yuan Yutang and Tian Xiue were also woken up.

Even Zhao Yunchen was awakened by Tian Xiue's exclamation.

No wonder Tian Xiu'e was astonished; this was simply too unbelievable.

She looked at the man lying on the makeshift straw mat and grabbed Zhao Yan's arm as if she had seen a ghost.

"Yan'er, is he...is he a human or a ghost? Didn't your Sanlang already...already...didn't he...how come he's lying here again?"

Although the black-clad man on the ground, who was unaware of what was happening to him, was unshaven and quite unsightly, Tian Xiu'e's husband, Chen An, was very familiar with Yang Sanlang and often invited him to their home for gatherings.

Compared to the original owner of the body who had only spent less than a month with Yang Sanlang, Tian Xiu'e was the most familiar with Yang Sanlang.

But Yang Sanlang and Chen An are already gone. Is the person lying on the ground a human being, or the ghost of Yang Sanlang?

Zhao Yan's eyes flickered slightly as she looked at the man, unsure how to react.

What the hell?

Is this man the original owner's cheap husband?!

He's not dead??

"...Sister Tian, ​​could it be...you've mistaken me for someone else?"

With so many people in the world, it's possible that they might look alike.

Tian Xiu'e looked at the man on the ground again and again, and finally said with certainty, "No, he is Yang Sanlang."

Then, she glanced at Zhao Yan with a strange look.

"Yan'er, you haven't forgotten Sanlang, have you?"

Ha ha.

She never imagined he would still be alive.

Zhao Yan touched her nose awkwardly.

"Sister Tian, ​​you know I wasn't thinking straight back then..."

This was the only reason she could come up with to get by.

What else could she say? That she didn't even remember what Yang Sanlang looked like?

Fortunately, Tian Xiu'e didn't press the matter further, and even felt a glimmer of hope.

If Yang Sanlang is still alive, does that mean that her Chen An is also alive?

However, it's too early to say anything now; we should get Yuan Yutang to treat the patient as soon as possible.

Tian Xiu'e made way for him, saying, "Master Yuan, please take a look at Yang Sanlang's injuries."

Yuan Yutang began to take the man's pulse.

The pulse diagnosis took quite a while, and Zhao Yan couldn't help but feel a chill.

Yuan Yutang frowned and told the truth: "It seems like he has been poisoned, but as for what kind of poison... I can't tell right now."

"It's alright, I have a universal antidote pill here, let him take it and see the effect."

Zhao Yan took a breath and nodded gently.

"Alright, let's do as Yuanbo says."

Yuan Yutang asked Yuan Gang to bring his wooden medicine box. After rummaging through it, he found a small brown round bottle, poured out two dark-colored pills, and handed them to Zhao Yan.

"Yan girl, find a way to feed him."

Zhao Yan held the pill in her hand for a moment, then squatted down, lifted the man's head, and raised his upper body.

She tried to put the pill in the man's mouth, but he pursed his lips and wouldn't cooperate.

Zhao Yan's eyes darkened slightly as she whispered in his ear, "Take the medicine, and the poison in your body will be neutralized. Open your mouth obediently, or don't blame me for forcing myself on you."

Perhaps her threat worked, because when she fed him the medicine again, the man actually opened his mouth.

Zhao Yan immediately fed him the pill, took the ceramic bowl from Tian Xiu'e, and fed him a few sips of water along the rim of the bowl.

She laid the man's upper body flat, pulled her arm away, and was about to get up when her wrist was suddenly gripped tightly by a large hand.

She was startled and looked down, only to see the man's eyes slightly open, looking at her face, his mouth opening and closing, struggling to utter a complete sentence.

"You... are not... her."

This sentence was only audible to Zhao Yan, who was standing very close to him.

After saying this, the man closed his eyes and fell asleep again.

The man's words echoed in Zhao Yan's mind, and her heart was already in turmoil.

He really was Yang Sanlang, her cheap husband.

Did he really discover something when he said that?

If he discovers that he is not the original owner of this body, will he beat her to death if he wakes up?

Zhao Yan gritted her teeth and muttered to herself, "Why not just finish him off on the spot?"

However, Zhao Yan quickly rejected this idea.

No, we can't do that.

She was a law-abiding and good person. If she were to kill, she would only kill those barbaric and bad people who harmed the people. Her husband, whom she had taken advantage of, had never done anything out of line to the original owner of this body.

Forget it, he's injured so badly, it's not even certain he'll make it through the night.

After handing Zhao Yan some water, Tian Xiu'e didn't move any closer.

Yang Sanlang was, after all, Zhao Yan's husband, and it was inappropriate for a married woman like her to get close to him.

Zhao Yunchen didn't need to be so reserved. He walked over and glanced at Yang Sanlang, then asked Zhao Yan, "Auntie, is he Uncle? Why is he here?"

"I am not sure as well."

Zhao Yan shook her head, clearing the jumbled thoughts from her mind.

"Yun Chen, can you check him for any knife wounds? I'll go get some clean clothes."

After saying that, she went out of the cave.

Under the cover of darkness, she pretended to overturn the carriage, but actually took out a dark robe from her storage cabinet.

These were clothes she had bought from a clothing store in Baima Town; they were all men's clothing, and they came in handy.

When I returned, Yuan Gang was also there.

Zhao Yunchen whispered to Zhao Yan, "Auntie, Uncle has a deep, long knife wound on his back. It looks like it was recently done. Grandpa Yuangang just stopped the bleeding."

"Ah."

Zhao Yan nodded and handed the clothes to Zhao Yunchen, "Change him into clean clothes, and burn the old clothes later."

No one knows how Yang Sanlang got chased by barbarians in the mountains.

Barbarians—

Zhao Yan turned around abruptly, leaving behind the words "This is yours to do," and hurriedly climbed up.

Finding the barbarian dead on the ground, she grabbed a stick and dug around for a while.

After digging the pit, she first searched the barbarians, thinking she wouldn't find anything, but unexpectedly found a heavy money bag on one of the tall barbarians.

Upon opening the bag and taking a look, he was astonished to find that it was full of loose silver coins, and even two gold leaves that shimmered with golden light.

She rummaged around for a while and found a bronze plaque that looked like an eagle inside the barbarian's chest.

Zhao Yan accepted them all and threw them into the storage cabinet.

The other barbarian didn't have much money; Zhao Yan only found one and a half taels of silver.

After searching, Zhao Yan dragged each person into the pit and buried them with soil.

Finally, they scattered dry branches and leaves on the spot to make it look like the ground had never been disturbed.

Back in the cave, Zhao Yunchen and Yuan Gang had already changed Yang Sanlang's clothes, and Yuan Gang threw the blood-stained old clothes into the fire to burn.

Zhao Yunchen had already gone back to sleep, and Yuan Gang told Zhao Yan to go to the cave to rest.

Zhao Yan was worried that the man might say something he shouldn't when he woke up, so she shook her head and refused.

“Uncle Yuan, Sanlang’s injuries are serious. I’m worried he’ll get a fever tonight, so I have to stay here and watch over him.”
