Eat the whole family? I emptied the storehouse of the Marquis' Mansion and married the crippled

There was an epidemic in Yuezhou. There were doctors in the city and enough medicine. Although some people died from the epidemic, the number was not too large.

However, the villages and towns around Yuezhou City had no choice but to rely on their bodies to treat the epidemic because there were not enough medicinal materials to treat it.

The disaster relief money and grain had been slow to arrive, and only a few people were able to make it through. In less than a month, nine out of ten villages were empty-handed.

Listening to Jiang Zhi talking about the epidemic, Ye Jintang could imagine what a tragic scene it was.

"Brother Jiang, have you distributed all the relief grain and silver?"

"Well, when I left Yuezhou City, Judge Zhang had already sent people to distribute disaster relief silver and grain. Those villagers who barely survived the epidemic should be able to survive until next summer's harvest with these silver and grain."

"That's good."

While the two were talking, they could vaguely see the outline of an abandoned post station in the darkness.

They stayed here temporarily and continued their journey early the next morning.

"Wanma Mountain is ahead. There are four bandit dens on the mountain. We cannot rest in between. We must pass through it in one breath. I'm afraid Brother Qinglin will suffer a lot during the day."

"Brother Jiang underestimates me too much."

Ye Jintang had gone through a lot of hardships. Wasn't it just riding a horse for a whole day? She was sitting on the horse's back, not running on her own two legs, so how could she be so tired?

"Brother Qinglin, just stop crying for a while."

After breakfast, everyone took enough water and dry food and continued on their journey.

They only stopped to rest for fifteen minutes at noon. They couldn't make a fire to cook, so they could only eat cold steamed buns and drink water.

Not long after leaving the abandoned post station, the surrounding woods became increasingly dense, the official road became increasingly narrow, and the rugged terrain became increasingly more numerous.

Occasionally, you can see a few tree trunks or large rocks on the side of the road.

These things are placed abruptly on the roadside, and you can guess what they are used for with just your toes.

It seems that there are really a lot of bandits in Wanma Mountain.

After entering the mountain, it was noticeably cooler. Ye Jintang was quite happy at first. The cool mountain breeze blew past, and the heat from his body instantly dissipated a lot.

Before she could be happy for long, the sun was gradually blocked by the mountain fog and the temperature dropped rapidly.

Ye Jintang, who was sitting on the horse, couldn't help shivering; her clothes were a little thin.

Just as Ye Jintang was hesitating whether to ask everyone to stop and add some clothes, her eyes suddenly went dark and a huge cloak fell on her.

Except for the head, the rest of the body is wrapped tightly.

"It seems that Brother Qinglin has never been outside before, and he is not prepared at all."

"Does Brother Jiang often go out to handle cases?"

"Fortunately, I spend most of the year running around outside."

Ye Jintang didn't expect that the life of a fourth-rank official would not be easy, and he often had to sleep in the open air.

From dawn on, the group rushed through the mountains and forests. At the beginning, Ye Jintang could still say a few words to Jiang Zhi.

An hour later, she was so sleepy from the shaking of the horse that she kept bumping into Jiang Zhi's arms.

"Brother Qinglin, you can't sleep. If you fall off your horse, you might break your arms and legs at best, or even lose your life."

"But my eyelids keep drooping and I can't open them at all."

Ye Jintang couldn't help but yawn. She never knew that she would feel sleepy after riding a horse for a long time.

Jiang Zhi's heartless laughter came from above his head.

"Brother Qinglin, how long will you stay in Xingnanzhou?"

"At least half a month. As long as Ye Song doesn't come to pick me up, I won't be in a hurry to go to the capital."

"Your cousin is too busy to finish in half a month."

Jiang Zhi's words were full of disdain.

Although he didn't have much contact with Ye Song, he could tell that he was not a kind person.

Jiang Zhi and Ye Jintang chatted idly. Although Ye Jintang was still sleepy, at least he didn't really fall asleep.

Two hours later, they stopped by a stream to rest.

When she was sitting on the horse's back, Ye Jintang didn't feel anything. But when her feet touched the ground, she staggered and almost fell to the ground.

"My legs hurt so much."

Moreover, the pain was in a very hidden location, causing Ye Jintang to suffer terribly.

"Brother Qinglin, have you never ridden a horse before?"

Jiang Zhi reached out and supported Ye Jintang, thus preventing her from having close contact with the ground.

"How can I, a woman from the inner house, ride a horse?"

"Many of the noble ladies in the capital also like to ride horses and play polo. You can practice more after you return to the capital."

The implication is that Ye Jintang is too delicate.

"I can see it."

Ye Jintang curled his lips, shook off Jiang Zhi's hand, and called Luzhu over.

It turned out that Luzhu was not much better off than her, and the two of them gathered together and whispered about their respective injuries.

"Girl, I think the skin is rubbed off. It hurts so much when it's touched."

Luzhu is younger than Ye Jintang. At this moment, her eyes are filled with tears and she looks like she is about to cry.

"I have some golden wound medicine that can stop bleeding and relieve pain. How about I sprinkle some on you and wrap it tightly with gauze later? Even if we continue on our journey, it shouldn't make the wound worse."

"Then I'll apply some golden wound medicine to the girl as well."

"Let's go find a deserted place."

Nanny Liu, who was standing by, heard the two people talking in a low voice and stepped forward to help them keep watch.

Jiang Zhi, who was sitting on a big rock drinking water, saw Ye Jintang and Luzhu going into the dense bushes nearby, and couldn't help but remind them, "Be careful of the snakes and insects in the bushes."

As he said this, he threw a small green bottle to Ye Jintang.

Ye Jintang stretched out his hand to take it, and saw the words "Golden Wound Medicine" written on it.

It is obvious what Jiang Zhi meant when he suddenly gave Ye Jintang medicine for his wound.

Ye Jintang only felt his cheeks suddenly burning, and even the tips of his ears felt a little hot.

Did he know that she had chafed the inside of her thighs?

Ye Jintang was so embarrassed that he really wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

"Thank you, Brother Jiang."

Ye Jintang took Luzhu's hand and hurried into the bushes, scolding Jiang Zhi as he walked.

He is really annoying. How can he predict everything?

In the space there was a first aid kit that Ye Jintang had prepared long ago. The wound medicine, gauze and other items in it were all purchased in Yuezhou City.

She swiftly took out the golden medicine, took a look at it, and finally chose the one given by Jiang Zhi.

His wound medicine is much more effective.

The wound on Luzhu's leg was much more serious than Ye Jintang had imagined. The entire inner thigh was red, and some places were even bleeding.

"You stupid girl, why didn't you tell me? If you had bandaged it earlier, you wouldn't have been injured like this."

"This injury is nothing. The most important thing is to hurry on our way. We can't let my little injury delay everyone."

"It won't take long to treat your wound."

Ye Jintang felt sorry for Luzhu and quickly helped her treat her wounds.
