To prevent any unnecessary trouble, Fang Yu quickly signaled Li Shi and Fang Xin to return to the carriage and informed them that it was time to depart.

"Mother, please take Xin'er and go ahead. I still have some things to take care of. I'll catch up with you later," Fang Yu said.

"Then you must come back soon!..." Li looked worried and was about to ask for more details when Fang Yu interrupted her.

"Don't worry, Mother, everything will be fine. I'll take care of some small things and catch up with you soon," Fang Yu reassured her.

Fang Xin, standing to the side, held Li Shi's hand tightly and echoed Fang Yu's words: "Yes, Mother, don't worry, my sister will come back to join us soon."

Hearing her two daughters say this, Li was slightly relieved and nodded.

As Xin Jiyan cracked his whip, the carriage slowly started moving and gradually disappeared into the distance.

Meanwhile, Li was still thinking that perhaps Xin Jiyan would stay and accompany Fang Yu on their return.

However, what she didn't know was that even Xin Jiyan wasn't kept by Fang Yu this time; Fang Yu stayed behind all by herself.

After the carriage had gone far away, Fang Yu nimbly moved through the dense forest they had just passed through.

She carefully observed her surroundings while searching for a suitable location.

They found a relatively secluded, flat, and open place.

She slightly raised her arm and waved it gently, and a wooden cart appeared out of thin air on the previously empty ground.

The cart looks a bit old, but it's still quite sturdy and solid overall.

Several large sacks were neatly arranged on the vehicle, each sack stuffed full and bulging.

These were all taro that Fang Yu bought in the neighboring village when she was in Qingshan City.

Although the restaurant has been serving the potatoes as snacks to customers, the quantity is too large, and there is still a lot of space available.

Even if we finish eating them all, we only need to plant some more in the space; we simply can't eat them all.

Fang Yu brought these out because there were no villages nearby, and the weather was so cold that if the refugees continued their long journey, even if they didn't die from disease or freezing, they would most likely starve to death.

Taro is easy to carry and store; it can be eaten simply by roasting it in a fire, making it suitable for them.

Fang Yu moved with lightning speed, hurrying back to the place where the refugees were temporarily resting.

The doctor, who was engrossed in studying the prescription, looked up unintentionally and immediately spotted her hurried figure approaching.

The doctor thought he was seeing things, so he quickly folded the prescription in his hand carefully, then carefully put it into his waistband before walking briskly toward Fang Yu.

Upon approaching, the doctor asked with a puzzled look, "Young lady, why have you returned again? Did you perhaps leave something important behind?"

As he spoke, his gaze unconsciously swept towards the direction where Fang Yu and the others had parked their carriage.

Apart from the two clearly visible and still-present tire tracks, there was nothing else on the ground.

Fang Yu shook her head and answered without hesitation, "That's not the case."

Immediately afterwards, she gave a serious and decisive order: "Have two people come with me."

It is worth noting that in just half a day, Fang Yu selflessly and fearlessly rescued many refugees, and this act of kindness had already deeply touched the hearts of everyone present.

The doctor had complete faith in Fang Yu's character and did not hesitate at all.

He immediately turned around, waved to the crowd behind him, and shouted, "You two, come over here for a second!"

Two men responded and quickly walked to the doctor's side.

Fang Yu then took the lead and strode ahead.

The doctor, accompanied by the two men, followed closely behind.

Only when they reached the wooden cart did Fang Yu slow down her hurried pace and say, "This is full of sweet potatoes. If you distribute them properly, it will be enough for you to eat for a long time on the road! This is all I can do to help you."

Along the way, they wandered from place to place, living an extremely difficult life, often going hungry.

The situation was even worse when they reached this part of the journey. Even though they had some silver on them, they couldn't buy any food to fill their stomachs.

The cartload of taro that appeared before them at this moment was as precious as a timely rain after a long drought for them, who were starving.

The doctor and the other two stared intently at the entire cartload of taro before them, their eyes gleaming with ecstatic joy, as if they could already see the taro transformed into delicious food to fill their bellies.

The group was overjoyed and thanked Fang Yu profusely.

In the brief moment when they were bowing deeply to Fang Yu to express their gratitude, they suddenly heard a voice from above that seemed to still have a lingering echo: "It's just some cheap food, nothing more than a small favor, no need to be so polite."

When they happily raised their heads, wanting to express their gratitude to Fang Yu again...

But then he discovered that not only had the words he had just heard vanished without a trace along with the gusts of cold wind that swept past, but they had also disappeared completely.

Even Fang Yu, who was standing not far in front of them just moments ago, vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Fang Yu had already nimbly flipped onto the horse's back and quickly caught up with the carriage, which had already traveled some distance, at an astonishing speed. In the blink of an eye, the carriage disappeared at the end of the road.

Suddenly, a rapid sound of horses' hooves echoed through the sky. Fang Xin, sitting inside the carriage, quickly lifted the curtain and stuck her head out of the window.

As they looked out, a magnificent horse was galloping towards them at breakneck speed.

Fang Xin turned around excitedly and called out to Li Shi beside her, "Mother, it's my sister who's back!"

Before she finished speaking, Fang Yu had already arrived at the carriage. She nimbly dismounted and climbed back into the carriage.

As soon as they got into the carriage, Madam Li asked anxiously, "Yu'er, you're finally back! Are you freezing?"

As she spoke, she quickly placed a warm hand warmer into Fang Yu's cold hands, hoping to bring some warmth to her daughter as soon as possible.

Fang Yu took the hand warmer and nodded gently to indicate that everything was fine.

As soon as she sat down, Fang Yu looked exhausted.

She squinted slightly, hugged the hand warmer in her hand tightly, and slowly leaned against Li's shoulder, soon falling into a deep sleep.
