I don’t know how long I walked at the bottom of the cliff.

Shen Qingxu never found a way out.

The jacket she was wearing had holes in some places, through which the cold wind was blowing.

Shen Qingxu's hair was messy and her face was dirty.

Lin Shuyao was not much better than her.

The wound on her leg has not yet healed completely, but the good news is that Lin Shuyao no longer has a fever. The day after Shen Qingxu carried Lin Shuyao away, she used snow to cool Lin Shuyao down. After tossing and turning for most of the day, Lin Shuyao's fever subsided.

I would occasionally wake up these days and eat some rabbit meat to replenish my strength. Fortunately, I found a broken bowl and could boil some water to drink when I was thirsty.

But most of the time, Lin Shuyao was still in a bad mood and often fell asleep.

After walking in the snow for an unknown amount of time, Shen Qingxu saw a path ahead and the little man in his heart was so excited that he danced with joy.

A hint of joy of surviving the disaster appeared on her face!

It's the exit!

Shen Qingxu wiped the tears from her face that had fallen due to surprise. Her already tired body suddenly became energetic again when she saw the path!

Almost there, they are about to go out!

"Shuyao, I found the exit, we are saved!"

Perhaps after hearing what Shen Qingxu said, Lin Shuyao hummed weakly.

Although her voice was as soft as a mosquito's, Shen Qingxu heard it clearly.

This is the first sentence Lin Shuyao said to her in this period of time! ?

Shen Qingxu walked along the path with his heavy steps.

Her physical strength was almost exhausted, but she was still able to walk, all thanks to her willpower.

She tried to talk to Lin Shuyao along the way, but apart from the first word, Lin Shuyao didn't make any movement.

If her warm breath hadn't sprayed on Shen Qingxu's neck, she would have thought that Lin Shuyao had collapsed long ago.

Since there was hope for a way out, Shen Qingxu felt that his luck had improved.

The heavy snow that had been falling for several days stopped now. The long-lost sunshine shone on Shen Qingxu's body, bringing her bursts of warmth.

In a trance, she even seemed to see the city gate of Linjing County.

She blinked!

No, the one ahead is Linjing County!

Shen Qingxu could not hide her excitement. Once they arrived in Linjing County, Lin Shuyao would be saved!

The injury on her leg can no longer be delayed.

Although Shen Qingxu used snow water to clean the wound on Lin Shuyao's leg every day during this period, the wound was too serious and infection could not be avoided.

Shen Qingxu hunched over, and every step he took was very difficult.

But she still carried Lin Shuyao steadily on her back without letting her body shake.

"Brother, look over there, there are two beggars!"

"Eh? Two girls!"

"Brother, could the guy on that woman's back be dead? Why isn't he moving?"

"This woman is really strong. She was vomiting blood, but she still carried the 'corpse' steadily!"

Several beggars stood near the gate of Linjing County, squinting their eyes as they watched Shen Qingxu walk with difficulty.

They were wearing gray, rotten-to-strand jackets with reed fluff showing. They were leaning on a crooked wooden stick in one hand and holding a bowl with a broken edge in the other.

They wrapped their feet in rags and wore straw shoes as they stepped on the snow, as if they didn't feel the cold.

The beggar in the middle of them was holding a straight and smooth wooden stick. He was Ge Dadan, one of the most powerful beggars in this beggar circle.

"Xiao Liu, go up and ask them. They must have encountered some accident that caused them to become like this." Ge Dabing waved at a child next to him who looked only eight or nine years old.

Although Shen Qingxu and Lin Shuyao looked as miserable as beggars, the snow-white cotton exposed from their torn cotton coats indicated that they were of high status.

Moreover, the two people were wearing thick-soled leather half boots. You know, beggars wear straw sandals in winter, and ordinary people just wear thicker shoes. People like these two people usually come from wealthy families. They must have encountered some changes now, so they would help whenever they can while they are away from home.

Winter boots are too expensive for them, and summer sandals are useless. In fact, it is not as comfortable as going barefoot, but they dare not go barefoot outside for fear of losing their feet.

Upon hearing this, the child named Xiaoliu quickly ran to Shen Qingxu's side and showed his white teeth.

"Sister, are you having any trouble? My brother is right in front of you. Do you need our help?"

Shen Qingxu looked at the child who appeared in front of him. Although there was a hint of caution in his eyes, it was not much.

Her gaze fell on Xiaoliu's feet wearing straw sandals, and her eyes dimmed.

"My sister and I accidentally fell off a cliff, and her leg was injured by a hungry wolf. If possible, please lead the way for me and take me to a place to rest, and find a doctor to see my sister." Shen Qingxu knew that his physical strength had reached its limit.

She was unfamiliar with Linjing County and didn't know where to find a clinic.

But these beggars are different.

They should be very familiar with Linjing County. Since they have offered to help, Shen Qingxu certainly would not be shy about refusing.

Moreover, Shen Qingxu had been a beggar before, so he naturally knew how to distinguish good beggars from bad beggars.

Just from seeing the innocent look in the child's eyes, Shen Qingxu knew that he and the "big brother" he mentioned must be good people.

"Of course, my second brother knows the locations of all the pharmacies in Linjing County!" Xiaoliu said, with a hint of pride unconsciously revealed in his eyes.

"Thank you."

"It's okay, sister, come with me."
