Xiao Zhixue did not relax because of the immediate results. She quickly found a piece of clean cloth, quietly used flames to sterilize it, and then wrapped the cloth around Fan Yanmu's wound with extremely careful techniques.

After everything was settled, she patted Fan Yanmu's shoulder gently, motioning him to get up and change his clothes.

With the help of Xiao Zhixue, Fan Yanmu calmly tidied his clothes. Although the pain from the wound had not completely disappeared, it no longer affected his movements.

He turned to Ying Yi and ordered in a deep voice: "Give her the remaining two hundred taels of silver."

Ying Yi obeyed the order and respectfully handed the banknote to Xiao Zhixue.

Xiao Zhixue took the banknote, her eyes sparkling with unconcealable joy, and put it carefully into her arms.

However, Xiao Zhixue had no intention of keeping this huge sum of money for herself.

She knew very well that her parents were by her side and as a child she should hand over all her earnings to them for safekeeping.

If they firmly refuse to accept the money, then the money will be regarded as a windfall given to her by fate to supplement her family expenses.

Taking advantage of the cover of clothes, Xiao Zhixue quietly took out some of the remaining herbs from the mysterious space and quietly handed them to Yingyi.

She said earnestly, "You must keep these herbs well. Take two herbs three times a day, crush them each time, and apply them to your master's wound. When all the herbs are used up, I think his wound should be completely healed."

Ying Yi tightly grasped the precious herb, his heart filled with gratitude. He bowed to Xiao Zhixue and said sincerely, "Thank you, young lady, for saving my master from the brink of life and death."

Xiao Zhixue smiled brightly when she heard this. She waved her hand gently and said, "For the sake of the two hundred taels of silver, let's not be polite."

When Yingyi heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, but he said nothing more.

At this moment, Fan Yanmu could clearly feel that the pain from the wound had been greatly reduced, the symptoms of dizziness were slowly subsiding, and the uncomfortable feeling of alternating hot and cold was almost gone.

He sat quietly on the ground, adjusting his breathing. Although his physical condition had improved, he was not in a hurry to get up and leave. He seemed to be waiting for something.

Seeing that the banknotes were successfully obtained, Xiao Zhixue's heart was filled with joy. She knew that this was enough to support the whole family to continue their journey of fleeing famine.

So, she happily instructed Xiao Tingxuan to start packing up the pots and utensils, and called on the whole family to get ready to embark on the journey again.

Just as Xiao Zhixue and her family were about to pack up and leave, Fan Yanmu suddenly spoke up, "I haven't had time to ask for your name yet. If we are lucky enough to meet again in the future, I will have a name for you."

Faced with Fan Yanmu's question, Xiao Zhixue didn't mind at all.

At this moment, she is just an ordinary farm girl, and it doesn't matter if her name is known to others.

She smiled calmly and replied, "My name is Xiao Zhixue, what's yours?"

Upon hearing the voice, Fan Yanmu stood up, and his deep gaze shot straight at Xiao Zhixue like a sharp sword. There was both scrutiny and appreciation in his eyes.

After a moment, he slowly responded: "My name is Fan Yanmu. If there is an opportunity, we will meet again in the future."

After he finished speaking, he and his shadow guard walked steadily, their backs gradually moving away, and finally disappeared at the end of this desolate land.

Xiao Zhixue gently pulled Xiao Wei's sleeve and asked in a low voice: "Dad, is there a wealthy family with the surname Fan in our Xiliang Kingdom?"

Xiao Wei tilted his head slightly, a trace of thought flashed in his eyes, and after a moment he shook his head gently: "This, father doesn't know either."

Xiao Zhixue thought to herself that her family had lived in this remote countryside for generations, so naturally they knew very little about the wealthy families in the prosperous capital.

However, from the man's luxurious clothing, the fact that he was always guarded by two loyal followers, and the fact that he remained calm after being injured, all these signs showed that he was not an ordinary citizen, but came from a distinguished family.

However, Xiao Zhixue changed her mind and thought that no matter where he came from or what his identity was, it had nothing to do with the fate of her family, and perhaps they would never meet again in this life.

So she raised her hand and waved gently, signaling her family to continue moving forward.

The family packed their bags and resolutely embarked on an unknown journey.

Xiao Zhixue's gaze fell on her father Xiao Wei, and saw that he was carrying a bulging cloth bag filled with heavy water bags on his thin shoulders.

These water bags were their life-saving source while fleeing the famine, but now they became a heavy burden on Xiao Wei.

He was breathing heavily, his steps were slightly unsteady, and his originally upright body seemed a little hunched due to the weight.

Xiao Zhixue saw this and felt pain in her heart. She quickly stepped forward and said, "Dad, I'm strong, let me carry these water bags."

As soon as she finished speaking, she skillfully took the cloth bag from her father's shoulder. Although the bag was heavy, she kept her back straight and walked steadily.

Seeing this, Xiao Wei originally wanted to fight for the cloth bag back. After all, even he found it difficult, let alone his daughter.

However, when he saw Xiao Zhixue's agile posture and brisk steps, moving forward like a gust of wind, he couldn't help but admire her in his heart, and finally gave up the idea of ​​taking back the cloth bag.

Zhou Shuqiong clung to Xiao Wei, staring at the completely different Xiao Zhixue in front of her. She gently pulled her husband's sleeve and sighed in a low voice: "Husband, look at our third girl. After this fall, she seems to have become a different person. Not only has her strength increased greatly, but she has also suddenly learned medical skills. Could it be that God has finally opened his eyes and let our third girl start to enjoy happiness?"

There is a common saying among the people that those who are blessed have many hardships to endure. Doesn’t Xiao Zhixue’s experience prove this saying true?

Xiao Wei's heart was filled with joy and pride for his daughter. He pondered for a long time and said, "Third girl, you really should enjoy your life."

However, Zhou Shuqiong's curiosity was not satisfied. She asked, "Sanya, where did you learn your medical skills? Why has mother never heard you talk about it?"

Xiao Wei and his brother also looked confused, and their eyes were all focused on Xiao Zhixue.

Facing her family's questions, Xiao Zhixue remained calm and unhurriedly wove a wonderful story: "Mom, Dad, and my two brothers, you may find it hard to believe. In fact, over the years, I have had the same dream every night. In my dream, a kind old man with a white beard gave me a medical book and patiently taught me to recognize the words on it. I learned medical skills bit by bit in my dream, but I have not been able to tell you because of my stupidity."

Listening to Xiao Zhixue's narration, the four of them were amazed at her extraordinary experience.

Is it really a blessing in disguise that Xiao Zhixue has been stupid for many years, but can learn medical skills in her dreams?

Recalling the scene where she calmly and skillfully treated Master Duan, an ordinary woman would probably have been frightened to death by the shocking wound.

At this moment, they firmly believed that Xiao Zhixue dreamed of studying medicine, and were even a little moved by the favor of fate on her.

Especially Xiao Tingxuan, he sincerely admired his sister's medical skills.
