The concubine escaped and cried when she met the prince again

After analyzing the pros and cons, Ji Han said to Shen Ruolan, "It should be Baitie Village, because in Baitie Village, the head of the Bai family is not only good at forging iron, but also at refining iron. Therefore, the people in their village have weapons that ordinary bandits cannot possess."

When Shen Ruolan heard that there was actually iron smelting in Nanshan, her brows jumped. You know, in this era, there are many people who can forge iron, but people who can smelt iron are treasures. Thinking of this, Shen Ruolan suddenly changed her plan in her mind.

She had originally wanted to blow up the bandits' lair this time, but after listening to Ji Han's words, she temporarily changed her mind. She just took the refugees into the mountains. As long as the bandits' lair did not provoke her, she would not cause trouble for them. Otherwise, that would be another matter.

Seeing that his master was silent, Ji Han looked at her and asked in a low voice: "Master, what exactly are we going to do on this trip?"

Shen Ruolan said: "Go into the mountains."

When Ji Han heard that they were going into the mountains, he nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

At 3 p.m. the next day, Shen Ruolan dragged her exhausted body and finally arrived at the foot of Nanshan Mountain to join the first wave of refugees. She found a comfortable patch of grass to sit down, gently stroking her belly, and said to Ji Han, "Ji Han, there is rice and flour in the backpack. Find someone to help me make something to eat."

Ji Han was stunned to see his master touching her belly in public, but he didn't say anything. He just replied respectfully, "Yes, Master."

After saying this, he quickly found a capable woman among the refugees and asked her to help cook. As for the rest of them, they went to the river to fish.

It’s not that Shen Ruolan was stingy and didn’t bring rations for Ji Han and the others, but there were too many refugees and she really couldn’t bring any. Even the rations she brought were just brown rice and black noodles. If it weren’t for her special situation, she wouldn’t even bring her own rations. She would eat whatever everyone else ate.

The woman quickly cooked a bowl of porridge. She scooped it out and brought it to Shen Ruolan, saying, "Miss, the porridge is ready."

Shen Ruolan took the bowl and thanked her, "Thank you, Auntie."

After Shen Ruolan finished speaking, she lowered her head and started eating. Before she had taken two bites, she heard a baby crying in a hoarse voice.

Shen Ruolan stopped eating, looked around, and asked the old and weak woman present: "Whose child is crying? His voice is so hoarse, is he sick?"

A woman not far from Shen Ruolan heard what Shen Ruolan said. She looked at her with a bitter face and said, "Miss, my child is not sick, he is just very hungry."

Although everyone went fishing every day, there were too many people and the fish they caught were only enough for one meal. She had just given birth and had no other food, so the child had no milk to drink and could only cry with hunger.

Shen Ruolan heard that the child was starving. She looked at the black porridge in the bowl and felt like she couldn't eat anymore. But she thought that she had more important things to do later, so she gritted her teeth and finished the porridge in the bowl. Then she took out the brown rice she brought from her backpack and gave half to the woman. She said to her truthfully, "Sister-in-law, this is all I can give you now. I hope we can all get through this difficult time smoothly."

The woman took the food handed over by Shen Ruolan, looked at her with gratitude and said, "Thank you, young lady. With you, I believe we will get through this difficult time."

Shen Ruolan looked at her and said, "Well, let's work hard together."

"Well, come on." The woman imitated Shen Ruolan.

"Go and make some soup for the child." Shen Ruolan said to the woman.

The woman said to Shen Ruolan, "Yes, young lady."

After saying this, she handed the child to an elderly lady beside her and went to the river to fetch water to make soup.

Shen Ruolan returned to the place where she had just rested and said to an old lady beside her: "Grandma, I'm going to take a rest. Please call me when Ji Han and the others have finished their meal."

The old lady responded to Shen Ruolan: "Hey, young lady, you can rest assured. I will help you take care of it."

Although Shen Ruolan was a junior, the old lady was still very respectful to her, because in her opinion, in this famine year when people had to exchange their children for food, she was able to take in the old, weak, and disabled like them, and even fulfilled her promise to give them something to eat. With such a broad mind, it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was a living Bodhisattva in this world.

After hearing what the old lady said, Shen Ruolan lay down on the ground. She was very tired after traveling all night. It didn't take long for Shen Ruolan to fall asleep.

In Nanfeng Village, at Shen Ruolan's home, Li Heng woke up and saw that his master was not there. He hurriedly shouted to the secret guards hiding in the dark: "Come here, where is the master?"

A secret guard came out and said to Li Heng, "In reply to Guard Li, the master is still at Miss Shen Ruo's house. Miss Shen told him before she left that the master cannot move for the time being. We have to wait until he wakes up on his own."

Li Heng grasped a key point from the secret guard's words. Shen Ruolan had left. He suddenly grabbed the secret guard and asked, "Tell me, where did Shen Ruolan go? What happened to the master?"

His intuition told him that his master might have been tricked by Shen Ruolan again.

The secret guard said to Li Heng: "Miss Shen and her subordinates left Nanfeng Village overnight, and the master is still resting in her main hall."

"Confused," Li Heng said, and regardless of the injuries on his body, he quickly climbed down from the bed and walked towards Shen Ruolan's house.

"Master," Li Heng dragged his seriously injured body and crawled to Shen Ruolan's yard, shouting loudly with an anxious look on his face.

Mu Jinxuan, who was sleeping in the main hall, frowned when he heard the voice of his subordinate. At the moment when Li Heng opened the door forcefully, he was also awakened by the sound of the door opening. He looked at his embarrassed subordinate and asked him with a puzzled look, "Why are you so flustered? What happened?"

Li Heng was relieved to see that his master was fine. He staggered to his side and said, "Master, we have slept for a whole night and an afternoon. I was very worried about you, so I disturbed you."

Mu Jinxuan was stunned for a moment when he heard that he had slept for a whole night and an afternoon, but he quickly came back to his senses, looked at Shen Ruolan's room and sneered: "Woman, very good, you dare to kill me, it seems that he is too kind."

At this time, Aunt Liu came over with a bowl of medicine, bowed to Mu Jin and said, "Sir, my master has told you that you have woken up, so drink this bowl of detoxifying soup quickly."

"Detoxifying soup?" After Mu Jinxuan finished speaking, he snorted coldly, obviously not believing what Shen Ruolan said.

Aunt Liu said, "Sir, yes. My mistress said that she will be away for a few days. You should rest in the village during these few days. Don't get angry or anything. Otherwise, your wound will bleed profusely and that will be troublesome."
