During my escape from famine, I survived by eavesdropping on the whispers of food.

Qin Shuangshuang never expected that the eldest branch of the family would bully people like that. She never expected that in just a few days since she left, the eldest branch would push her people to the brink of death and even drive them out in this freezing weather.

They come to harass them again in the middle of the night; isn't that just making their lives worse than death?

Qin Shuangshuang remained calm and said to them, "Now that I'm back, I will lead everyone to live well."

Qin Shuangshuang looked around and realized that there wasn't even a place on the eaves that could provide shelter from the wind and rain.

Think about it, all the houses nearby are already occupied now, it seems they really are going to hide in the woods now.

At this moment, the soldiers behind her stepped forward and said to Qin Shuangshuang, "Miss Qin, when we came, our Master Jin specifically told us that if you don't have a suitable place to go, you can return to the military camp."

"Our master still needs your medical skills, so would you be willing to come back with us?"

Qin Shuangshuang felt a pang of guilt when she thought about how it would be such a waste to give the eldest son's wife such a good deal.

But considering that there really wasn't a suitable place to stay, Qin Shuangshuang was also thinking about where to choose a place to live that would be the best option.

After careful consideration, I found a tent in the military camp to stay in, which is not bad.

I wonder if the old, weak, women and children behind me will be afraid if they go to the military camp with me? They are frightened by the scenes of swords and shadows every day.

Seeing her concerns, Uncle Li said to her, "I understand your worries, but don't worry, it's not a big problem. We've all been through life and death together, so we're used to it."

Some things, once you take them lightly, you won't care about them anymore.

Qin Shuangshuang thought about it and realized that he had actually brought it up himself. Looking at the elderly, weak, women and children behind her, each of them had a determined look in their eyes, wanting to follow her.

Finally, Qin Shuangshuang agreed and said to the two officers, "Alright, then I'll trouble you."

Qin Shuangshuang then said to them, "Then please follow me. There probably aren't many people left in that carriage. Please follow me slowly for a while, and we'll get back to the military camp as soon as possible."

Everyone was thrilled at the thought of being able to live in the military camp with Qin Shuangshuang.

They were certainly at ease; this was much better than living in a temple without a complete roof.

When Qin Shuangshuang led everyone into the military camp, the nearby soldiers were all staring at them with predatory eyes.

Because they were worried that there was a possibility that a spy might have infiltrated.

Just then, Qin Shuangshuang spoke to them, "Please calm down, everyone. These are my family members. We brought them back because we had nowhere else to sit. Don't worry, we'll stay in the most remote place nearby."

It certainly won't bother you.

Only then did the officers and soldiers gradually lower their guard.

One of the soldiers spoke up, saying to Qin Shuangshuang, "I hope you won't take it to heart, Miss Qin. After all, there have always been a few spies who sneaked in trying to kill us."

That's why we had this idea.

Qin Shuangshuang nodded and said to him, "Don't worry, we are all good people and would never do such a thing."

Then, his two soldiers arranged for everyone to be placed in a tent.

Nowadays, there is already a shortage of tents. It is not easy to find a tent, even though the place is relatively remote. At least everyone has a place to live together.

As Zhou watched everyone set up the tents, she came over, took Qin Shuangshuang's hand, and said to her, "Child, you haven't even given yourself a place to play. Where will you sleep tonight? Be mindful of that."

Qin Shuangshuang said, "I have my own tent, but don't worry, Mother, I won't let you suffer any injustice."

You can live with me; we're family after all, it's fine."

Then Zhou quickly released her hand and said to her, "You are now a favorite of the officials, we can't disturb you."

"If it tarnishes our current reputation, then we'll just stay here."

Qin Shuangshuang quickly told her, "What reputation? It's just saving a life, it's nothing."

Later, I will come and pick you and your brother up to go to my tent to sit. Zhou thought for a moment and then reluctantly nodded, saying to Qin Shuangshuang, "Okay, then let's do as Shuangshuang says."

Qin Shuangshuang then went out of the tent. As soon as she went out, Jin Danian quickly pulled her to another tent and said to her, "I don't know why, but my master vomited blood for no reason today. We need to go and see him quickly. I don't know what happened. The thought of my master vomiting blood is unbearable."

Qin Shuangshuang quickened her pace, even faster than him, and hurried to the tent. As soon as she entered, she saw Lin Zheng leaning against the couch, constantly vomiting blood. Qin Shuangshuang did not expect that he would vomit blood at this time.

The freezing weather, coupled with her vomiting blood, made Qin Shuangshuang inevitably worried.

He then hurriedly approached him and asked, "Did the vomiting of blood start this morning?"

At this moment, Lin Zheng nodded and said to her, "Yes, this morning I suddenly felt a tightness in my chest, and then I vomited blood for the first time without realizing it. Now I can't even control myself."

Qin Shuangshuang noticed that the blood contained some brownish substances, which she guessed was because Doctor Li had added too much wood ash, causing some stagnant blood in his wound.

Then Qin Shuangshuang breathed a sigh of relief and said to him, "It's okay, I'll stew some Ganoderma lucidum soup for you later, and you'll feel better after drinking it."

Everyone was astonished.

"Lingzhi! You mean lingzhi?"

"Lingzhi? I just heard about Lingzhi soup. What kind of precious thing is that? Is it something that only royalty and nobles can afford to drink?"

Qin Shuangshuang asked curiously, "Isn't Ganoderma lucidum something that can be found everywhere? How come it's become something only royalty can drink?"

At this moment, one of the officers spoke up.

"Because many high-ranking officials in the court wanted to use that thing to save their lives, and someone spread the rumor that Ganoderma lucidum could bring people back to life, many high-ranking officials hoarded those things for their own use."

Therefore, even the lingzhi mushrooms in the mountains have long been harvested, so using them to make medicinal soups is now an extremely luxurious thing.

If the imperial court found out, it would probably have alarmed them.

Qin Shuangshuang couldn't help but chuckle sheepishly, "I never thought there was such a saying. Looks like I'm about to become a nouveau riche?"

Upon hearing this, Jin Danian exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be that you, young lady, truly possess many Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms?"

At this moment, Qin Shuangshuang realized that this involved her own interests, so she quickly shook her head and said, "No, no, of course not."

Qin Shuangshuang noticed that although the wound had healed quite well, it still needed Ganoderma lucidum. She wanted the soup to help restore the body's vital energy as soon as possible. Facing them, she said, "I'm going out to gather herbs. I'll be back soon."

Jin Danian glanced outside the door and said with concern, "The road outside is still slippery. I'll have someone take you there."

Qin Shuangshuang shook her head and said, "I know the path to the back mountain very well. Don't worry, it's fine."

Seeing this, Jin Danian finally had no choice but to agree to let Qin Shuangshuang go alone.

Qin Shuangshuang went up the mountain alone, carrying a basket on her back.

Now that Lu Jun is gone, he has to carry the basket himself, humming a little tune as he feels as if he can hear footsteps in his ear.

Qin Shuangshuang instantly became alert.
