My treasure bowl connects the past and present; I've won everything on my journey into exile.

After learning from Granny Yun what Xu Mengxian had just done, Xu Wuyan twitched the corner of his mouth.

How can you know the hardships of life without experiencing them?

If it weren't for Lin Mo, they wouldn't have been able to make any preparations in advance.

If they hadn't prepared in advance, they would probably be in no better shape than the others now.

Do you really think it's easy to find food in the mountains in the dead of winter?

To find food, they knocked on every bush with sticks, and it took several of them to catch the pheasant.

I was lucky to catch one tonight.

They hadn't come up with anything on several previous occasions.

It seems that having had plenty of food and drink these past few days has made her forget the hardships she faced when she had to find food on her own.

As Granny Qin served her chicken, Xu Wuyan spoke up:

"Granny Qin, just give her a bowl of soup."

Seeing Qin Mama staring at him in astonishment, Xu Wuyan lightly beckoned:

"Ignorant of human suffering, self-righteous."

Giving her soup and not letting her go to bed hungry was already quite kind. If I were any harsher, I should have given her nothing at all, letting her go to bed hungry, to teach her a lesson she wouldn't forget.

Xu Mengxian's eyes reddened, and she lowered her head:

"Granny Qin, my elder brother is right, I am willing to accept the punishment."

She must remember this lesson.

Granny Qin sighed and served her a bowl of soup.

Lin Mo remained silent, slowly eating the chicken in her bowl.

Xu Wuyan is a scheming man.

Did he think that this would allow him to forgive Xu Mengxian and pay attention to her?

Dreaming!

If someone wants to stage a self-inflicted injury, who will stop them?

Anyway, it's not me who's going hungry.

Chicken, delicious.

Lin Mo handed over the bowl, "Granny Qin, since there's one less person to eat, give me the extra meat."

Granny Qin was taken aback for a moment, then quickly nodded and served her the dish.

Xu Wuyan sighed.

My wife is too smart; she's difficult to deal with.

He glanced outside, his brows furrowed. Why hadn't Xu Pinggui and Uncle Peng returned yet?

After speaking with Lin Mo, Xu Wuyan got up and prepared to go out to look for someone.

But after taking only a few steps, they saw Xu Pinggui carrying Xu Dapeng in, and at the same time, a strong smell of blood wafted towards them.

Upon seeing Xu Wuyan, Xu Pinggui was excited:

"Young Master, Uncle Peng is injured."

Xu Wuyan quickly went to meet him, his expression serious as he reached out to help. "What happened?"

At the same time, he turned his head and shouted in another direction:

"Dr. Mu, come quickly and help."

"Uncle Peng tripped and fell down the ravine, his thigh was pierced by a tree branch," Xu Pinggui said, panting, as he briefly recounted what had happened.

Xu Wuyan glanced at the unconscious Xu Dapeng, said nothing more, and helped him down with a stern face.

Meanwhile, Xu Pingan had quickly cleared out a space.

When the unconscious Xu Dapeng was put down, everyone gasped when they saw the bloody hole in his thigh.

At this moment, Doctor Mu, who had rushed over to help after hearing the commotion, also arrived.

Seeing this wound, I was extremely anxious:

"That was reckless. Why didn't you wait until you brought the person back before pulling off the branches?"

If you pull it out again when you get back, there won't be as much bleeding.

Furthermore, keeping the wound bandaged prevents blood circulation, which could easily lead to necrosis of the leg.

As he spoke, he quickly untied the strips of cloth, "Prepare the wound medicine, hurry up!"

The moment the cloth strip was untied, blood gushed out.

"Quick, give me the wound medicine."

Doctor Mu quickly took the wound medicine handed over by Xu Wuyan, pulled out the stopper, and poured the medicine directly onto the wound.

But the wound medicine that had just been applied was immediately washed away by the blood.

"I had no choice. If I didn't pull them out, I wouldn't be able to bring Uncle Peng back. The branches were too long," Xu Pinggui lamented.

"Before pulling it out, I thought I would tie a strip of cloth around the top of the wound so that it wouldn't bleed so much. I... I didn't think that much about it."

He didn't realize that binding for too long could lead to limb necrosis; it's all his fault.

Xu Pinggui looked remorseful.

"You've done very well, don't blame yourself." Xu Wuyan's voice was a little hoarse.

"Dr. Mu, how is Uncle Peng?"

"The situation is not good." Dr. Mu shook his head, trying his best to think of a way to stop the bleeding.

"The wound is too deep and the bleeding can't be stopped. If it continues to bleed like this, he will be in danger. So the wound must be stitched up. Unfortunately, I don't have anything on my hands right now, so I can't stitch it up for him."

Dr. Mu sighed; he was about to watch another person die before his eyes.

Xu Wuyan and the others remained silent.

Suturing...

Time was of the essence, and they only thought of wound medicine, never considering preparing these other things. Now it's too late to regret it.

"this one?"

Lin Mo walked over with a small box, opened it, and handed it to Doctor Mu.

Inside lay a few suture needles and a small wad of suture thread.

"Yes, this is it." Doctor Mu was excited and snatched the small box from Lin Mo's hand, immediately getting busy.

Lin Mo wasn't angry. She left behind a few porcelain bottles and went back to her previous seat.

She emptied out the Imperial Medical Bureau in the palace, so how could this not be there?

Xu Wuyan looked at Lin Mo, "Madam, thank goodness you brought it."

You saved Uncle Peng's life, thank you.

Lin Mo waved her hand, "It's nothing."

……

Just as they were in chaos, a venomous gaze was fixed on them.

He's incredibly lucky; he only suffered a thigh injury.

Why didn't it go through the abdomen?

Hehehe!

……

After treating Xu Dapeng's wounds and giving him a few pills provided by Lin Mo, it was already late at night.

After letting everyone rest, Xu Wuyan called Xu Pinggui outside.

"what happened?"

Xu Wuyan's voice carried a hint of anger.

A normal trip wouldn't cause such a deep injury; something must be strange.

"Someone buried a rope on our way back. When we passed by, they pulled the rope. Uncle Peng couldn't dodge in time and tripped."

In addition, several sharp tree branches were stuck upside down in the ditch beside the road.

When Uncle Peng tripped and tumbled down, his thigh hit one of the tree branches.

Young master, I was in a hurry to save Uncle Peng and didn't chase after the people who were hiding in the shadows and attacking us.

But as he left, I caught a quick glimpse of him; he wasn't very big.

This person, if not a thin man, is a woman.

It was too dark at the time, so he couldn't see very clearly.

Xu Wuyan narrowed his eyes dangerously, it seemed he was coming for them.

"Young Master, I'm sorry. I failed to protect Uncle Peng and I didn't catch the murderer." Xu Pinggui said guiltily.

"This isn't your fault." Xu Wuyan shook his head, his face icy cold.

"They're after us. They'll slip up sooner or later, and we'll catch them eventually."

After letting Xu Pinggui go inside to rest, Xu Wuyan stared indifferently at the cold moon in the sky.

Who on earth would want to kill me?

They've already been exiled, yet they still won't let themselves off the hook.

He looked in the direction where the escort was staying.

Perhaps, he can find the answer for himself!

……

The next day.

When Xu Dapeng woke up, they had already set off.

Lin Mo glanced in the direction of the carriage but didn't go over to express any concern.

Instead, he kept his head down, lost in thought.

They will spend the night at the inn.

This was the first time in ten days that they had spent the night at the post station and were even able to have a full meal.

But this full meal...

A cold glint flashed in Lin Mo's eyes.

She looked at the other members of the group, wondering whether she should say something about it.

Just then, Xu Wuyan stepped down from the carriage.

"Uncle Peng has woken up. Apart from being a little weak, he is fine. He just needs to rest for a while."

"Hmm." Lin Mo nodded absentmindedly.

Xu Wuyan sighed, "Madam, Uncle Peng's injury was not accidental."

Someone is plotting against us, so you need to be careful until we find that person. Don't wander around alone; if you go anywhere, take someone with you.

Lin Mo nodded, "Okay!"

Seeing her nonchalant attitude, Xu Wuyan's expression turned serious:

"Madam, you can try to rely on me. Let's not even talk about how we're husband and wife; let's just say we're in the same boat now, and I don't want the boat to capsize, right?"

If anything happens to you, you can tell me directly. There's no need to keep it to yourself.

Lin Mo, “…”

This metaphor...

She grinned and rolled her eyes at him.

"I'm not sure if it will happen, how can I tell you?"

Because of the series of reactions brought about by her rebirth, many things have changed.

In her past life, she would have left this place long ago by this time.

The timing was wrong; she wasn't sure if the event would even happen.

If I tell him, but nothing happens in the end, wouldn't that be a misunderstanding?

"Prevention is better than cure, my lady. You should really learn more about this phrase." Xu Wuyan's lips curled slightly.

"If we're not prepared and it actually happens, won't we be left with nothing but tears?"

We took precautions, nothing happened, and there was no loss, right?

Lin Mo thought about it and realized that made sense.

Let Xu Wuyan make the decision; he'll take responsibility for whatever happens, good or bad.

Having successfully shifted the blame, Lin Mo instantly felt relieved.

He waved for Xu Wuyan to come closer, then whispered the story to him.

Finally, he shrugged and said, "I've already said it, you make the decision."

I'm not sure if this will happen.

"Alright, I'll handle this." Xu Wuyan's lips curled slightly, his voice carrying a seductive undertone.

"Please rest assured, Madam, I will handle things well."

Although I don't know how she knows these things, I trust her.

Furthermore, he might even have some unexpected gains.

A dark glint flashed quickly in Xu Wuyan's eyes.
