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

The wound medicine that Jiang Zhi gave was quite effective, but it was extremely painful when applying the medicine.

Lin Jintang had seen Jiang Mo use it some time ago, and he, a grown man, turned pale with pain.

"Lvzhu, bear with it, it will be fine in a while."

Ye Jintang took out the medicine bottle and gently sprinkled the powder on Luzhu's wound.

She was even prepared to hold Luzhu down together with Madam Liu if she struggled.

But when the powder fell, Luzhu didn't react at all.

"Doesn't it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt, but it feels a little cool."

"Uh?"

Ye Jintang had a question mark in his mind. Could it be that Jiang Zhi's wound medicines were divided into several types? Some were painful and some were not?

Or was she worrying too much, and Jiang Zhi and Jiang Mo were not the same person?

So were all her previous discoveries just coincidences?

How can there be so many coincidences in the world?

Putting aside his doubts, Ye Jintang quickly bandaged his wound.

She even wrapped several more rounds of gauze around their legs to prevent their legs from being rubbed during the subsequent journey.

By the time the three men came out of the bushes, the others had almost rested, so Ye Jintang did not delay any longer and prepared to leave.

Just as she was about to get on the horse, she discovered that there was a coarse cloth blanket on the horse's back. When she looked again, she saw the same blanket on Luzhu's side, but with a different pattern.

"Where did Brother Jiang get the coarse cloth blanket?"

"It is very useful to carry a coarse blanket with you when you go out."

Ye Jintang was speechless. She was now just a newbie who had never been far away from home and knew nothing.

Ye Jintang was very grateful for Jiang Zhi's thoughtful little gesture.

It had been just over an hour's walk, but her legs were already rubbed like this. There was still a day left, so having a coarse cloth blanket was better than nothing.

Neither Ye Jintang nor Jiang Zhi mentioned the matter of the coarse cloth blanket. They both got on their horses and continued on their way.

But the speed is obviously slower than at the beginning.

There was still some pain in my legs, but not long after applying the medicine, the burning pain was relieved a lot.

The mountain road was still bumpy. Ye Jintang was drowsy and fell asleep in a daze without knowing when.

I don’t know how long it was before a gust of mountain wind blew and Ye Jintang suddenly woke up.

She just felt that her whole body was nestled in Jiang Zhi's arms, and the wide cloak turned into a protective bag, protecting her inside and preventing her from falling.

And Jiang Zhi's arm fell firmly on her waist.

If Jiang Zhi hadn't supported her, she would have fallen off the horse long ago.

"Brother Jiang, how long will it take us to get out of Wanma Mountain?"

Ye Jintang dodged Jiang Zhi's arm around her waist imperceptibly.

Men and women should not be too close to each other, and it is better for them not to have too much physical contact.

Besides, they were not familiar with each other, and she felt uncomfortable being so close.

"At our current pace, it will take at least two hours, but we will be out of this dense forest soon, and then we won't have to rush."

"After we get out of the dense forest, the outside is relatively open. We are not afraid even if bandits attack us."

Jiang Zhi naturally also noticed Ye Jintang's little actions and thoughts, but he saw them all, but didn't say much.

Where Ye Jintang couldn't see, Jiang Zhi couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips slightly.

Just as Jiang Zhi said, they soon passed through the dense forest and entered a plain area.

The surroundings suddenly became empty. If someone was lying in ambush, they could be seen from a long distance.

"Let's go a little further and find a clean place to rest and eat something."

After being reminded by Jiang Zhi, Ye Jintang felt a little hungry.

Looking at the sky, I'm afraid it's past lunch time.

The group finally chose a place to rest beside a stream.

As Jiang Zhi helped Ye Jintang get off the horse, he whispered, "Remember to apply some more medicine on the wound. We still have to travel for two hours in the afternoon to reach our destination. It will be very painful if we don't apply the medicine."

"Thank you, Brother Jiang, for the reminder."

Ye Jintang almost gritted his teeth when he said this. He really was talking about things that were not relevant.

"Brother Qinglin, you told me thank you so many times today."

Ye Jintang, who was already a little embarrassed, just wanted to knock Jiang Zhi out with a punch.

Lu Zhu, who ran over from the other side, saw that Ye Jintang looked bad, and asked cautiously, "Miss, is your injury getting worse?"

"It's okay. Let's go find a place to change the medicine."

"No need to be so troublesome, right? I don't feel any pain in my legs anymore."

"I have to ride for a long time in the afternoon, so I have to change the medicine."

Luzhu was puzzled. Why did she feel that her daughter was angry for no reason?

After running wildly in Wanma Mountain for a whole day, when they arrived at the inn, everyone, including Jiang Zhi, was exhausted.

As soon as they entered the inn, it started to drizzle outside.

"Luckily we ran fast, otherwise we would have been caught in the rain."

Luzhu sighed with lingering fear.

They already had injuries on their bodies, and if they were caught in the rain, they would probably get sick.

"An autumn rain brings a chill, and this summer is finally over."

Ye Jintang couldn't help but sigh.

Summer without air conditioning or electric fans is really hard to endure.

"Zhou Cong, go ask the shopkeeper to take the umbrella and go to the town to see if there is anyone selling horse-drawn carriages."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

"Don't go, Zhou Cong. Let Mu Chuan go. He is familiar with this place."

"this?"

Ye Jintang glanced at Jiang Zhi and Muchuan, and took out 50 taels of silver from his bag.

"Then I'll trouble Muchuan to help make the trip. You can use the money first. If it's not enough, I'll give you more."

Muchuan glanced at Jiang Zhi and seeing that he had no objection, he reached out to take the silver.

"I will go and buy a carriage for you right away."

Mu Chuan took the silver and went out. Not long after he left the inn, he was stopped by a tall man.

The man was wearing coarse cloth and a bamboo hat, and had an untidy beard, looking quite decadent.

"Muchuan, it's really you. Just now, when I saw you from a distance, I thought I had recognized the wrong person."

The man was in a good mood and walked up to greet Muchuan.

"General Shi, why are you here too?"

Mu Chuan looked at Shi Bin in surprise.

"I'm going to Xingnan Prefecture and I just happened to pass by here. Aren't you and the prince going to Yuezhou City to look for Young Master Zhou? Why are you here too?"

"I didn't find Young Master Zhou in Yuezhou City. The prince wanted to go to Xingnanzhou some time ago to see if he could find Young Master Zhou. But then he was delayed for a few days by some things."

"Then did you see Lin Ruoyu in Yuezhou City?"

Muchuan felt Shi Bin's hand on his shoulder tighten a little, and he shook his head helplessly.

"Where are they? I've gone to several places and found nothing."

The smile on Shi Bin's face disappeared instantly, and he looked a little gloomy.

More than a month has passed. If he can't find Lin Ruoyu, he can't imagine what will happen to this little girl.

"General Shi, do you want to go see the prince?"

"No, please help me get some help. I'm going to Xingnanzhou now."

"It's dark and raining, and the official road to Xingnan Prefecture is not easy to travel. General Shi can stay in the town for one night, and it won't be too late to set off tomorrow morning."

"It's okay, it's okay. We've been on the march and fought in worse environments than this before, but it didn't stop us from fighting the northern barbarians."

"I go first."

As he spoke, Shi Bin turned and walked towards a place not far away, where there were a few men dressed similarly to him.

Everyone wore a bamboo hat and a straw raincoat.

Shi Bin jumped on his horse, waved to Mu Chuan, and soon disappeared in the rain.
