Upon hearing this, Xiaohu immediately stopped crying and wiped his tears with his hand.

But his face and hands were covered with black mud and dirt, and when he wiped them, he immediately looked like a harlequin cat.

Xie Jing held his stomach and laughed, "Xiao Hu! You really deserve to be called Xiao Hu! Look at what you look like now, you look like a tiger with a harlequin face!"

Jiang Wan and the others looked over.

There were black and white spots on Xiaohu's face of varying sizes, and there were still tears hanging from the corners of his eyes. His face looked confused and innocent, and he looked a bit funny.

Jiang Wan and Xie Xueling both laughed, Xiao Liu burst into laughter, and even Xie Lan raised his lips.

After Xie Jing's interruption, Xiaohu and Xiaoliu felt a lot more relaxed and the atmosphere became more lively.

Jiang Wan asked them to eat quickly and go home before dark.

She saw the pile of food and sundries on the table, and thought that with two more people returning to the village, she would have to rent two ox carts.

She told Xie Lan her intention to leave, and just as she was about to leave, Xie Lan stopped her.

"It is enough to rent an ox-cart. I have already bought a horse-drawn carriage."

"carriage?"

Jiang Wan was stunned.

When did Xie Lan buy the carriage?

Xie Jing explained for his elder brother, "When we came back, there was a man selling a horse carriage on the roadside. He said he was the manager of the escort agency and handled idle and sick horses for the escort agency. He was selling a sick horse. Because it was a sick horse, the price was very low. A normal horse would cost at least more than twenty taels, but he only sold it for twelve taels, and gave away a carriage and a saddle."

Jiang Wan raised an eyebrow, "So you bought the sick horse?"

"Yes!" Xie Lan nodded and said, "My elder brother said that Hunter Wang had treated sheep before, so he might be able to treat horses as well. So I wanted to buy it cheaply and bring it back to Hunter Wang for a checkup."

Jiang Wan was puzzled, "But if it's a sick horse, how can it pull so many things?"

Xie Jing scratched his head and looked at Xie Lan. He was also curious about this question.

Xie Lan said, "The escort manager gave the horse some medicine, but it only treats the symptoms, not the root cause. Let's go back and ask Brother Wang to take a closer look. You can rent a bullock cart to store the food, and you can take a horse carriage back."

Jiang Wan understood, stood up and said, "Then I'll go rent a bullock cart."

Xie Lan nodded and watched her leave the teahouse.

Jiang Wan went to the carriage and horse shop to rent an ox cart. When she returned to the teahouse, Xie Lan and others had already packed up and were waiting for her.

Xie Lan and Xie Jingqi loaded grain, pork, seasonings, pots, pans, and other sundries onto the ox cart, while Jiang Wan carried the expensive writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstone.

Xie Lan climbed onto the carriage and arranged for Xie Jing and Xiaohu to follow the ox cart to watch over the food. Jiang Wan, Xie Xueling and Xiaoliu sat in the carriage.

So an ox cart and a horse carriage slowly drove towards Lushui Village.

The journey was uneventful.

When we returned to Lushui Village, the setting sun had dyed half the sky red.

Jiang Weiran is now in good health and can walk around.

He stood at the gate of the yard, looking into the distance.

Finally, he saw a familiar figure.

"uncle!"

Xie Jing shouted loudly, and before the ox cart stopped, he turned over and jumped off the cart and ran towards Jiang Weiran.

"Xiao Jing."

Jiang Weiran's face was filled with joy. "You are finally back. Where are Wan'er and your elder brother?"

"They are behind us! Uncle, let me tell you, a lot of things happened when we went to town today..."

Xie Jing looked excited and was about to speak.

Jiang Weiran only then noticed the scars on his face and interrupted, "Xiao Jing, what's wrong with your face and clothes?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Jing covered his face with his hands and blushed with embarrassment.

Jiang Weiran wanted to ask more questions when Xie Lan arrived at the door in a carriage.

"uncle."

Xie Lan shouted, turned around, opened the car curtain, and said to the inside: "We're home."

The ride was bumpy and Jiang Wan felt dizzy, had a stuffy chest and was drowsy.

She suddenly realized that she was not sick of ox carts, but seemed to be sick of horse carts!

How is this going?

A horse-drawn carriage is one level higher than an ox-drawn carriage. Is she not lucky enough to enjoy the carriage?

Xie Lan stared at Jiang Wan and saw at a glance that she was feeling unwell. He frowned and asked, "What's wrong? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"

Jiang Wan shook his head, put his hand on the car door, and said, "It's okay, I just feel a little dizzy..."

Before Jiang Wan could finish her words, she felt dizzy and a vast expanse of white light flashed before her eyes.

She suddenly felt dizzy and lost her vision in an instant. She could not tell the direction and could only fall forward.

"Sister-in-law!"

"Wan'er!"

Xie Xueling and Jiang Weiran exclaimed at the same time.

Fortunately, Xie Lan was very close to Jiang Wan. He stretched out his hand to hold Jiang Wan's waist, and Jiang Wan fell firmly into his arms.

"Jiang Wan, Jiang Wan."

Xie Lan called her a few times. Jiang Wan frowned uncomfortably and stammered, "I feel dizzy and want to vomit..."

"What……"

Xie Lan didn't hear what she said clearly, so he turned his head and moved closer to her temples.

"What did you say……"

Before he could finish his words, Jiang Wan supported his chest with one hand, pushed him away, then lowered his head and started vomiting.

Suddenly, a sour smell filled the air.

Xie Lan: “…”

Xie Xueling behind Jiang Wan said, "Sister-in-law is vomiting! Brother, don't move! Wait until sister-in-law finishes vomiting before you move!"

Xie Lan: “…”

Jiang Wan vomited very happily.

She held it in all the way, but unexpectedly vomited at the doorstep of her home.

Although she pushed Xie Lan away a little, the vomit still splashed onto Xie Lan's clothes.

Jiang Wan realized it later. After vomiting everything out, she slowly raised her head and vaguely seemed to see Xie Lan's face which had darkened twice.

She pulled the corners of her lips awkwardly and said dryly, "I'm sorry, I asked Xie Jing to wash my dirty clothes. He said he would wash my clothes."

Xie Lan looked at her slightly pale face, and the gloom between his brows disappeared, leaving only helplessness.

He whispered, "Can you walk?"

Jiang Wan nodded, "Yes."

Jiang Wan stretched her legs and was about to get off the carriage. Xie Lan blocked her with his long arms and said, "Let me do it."

He sighed, his voice very soft.

Jiang Wantu was completely exhausted and his head was still dizzy, so he could only let Xie Lan do what he wanted.

Xie Lan asked her to hold the door, then jumped off the carriage. He turned around and hooked his arm around Jiang Wan's slender waist. With a little force, he brought her down steadily from the carriage.

Jiang Weiran and Xie Jing hurried forward.

"What happened to Wan'er?"

Xie Lan comforted her, "She's fine, she just got carsick. Uncle, Xiao Jing, help her back to the room and let her have a good rest."

Jiang Weiran nodded, and he and Xie Jing, one on each side, helped Jiang Wan to the yard.

Jiang Wan was not clear about what happened afterwards. Her last memory was the scene of Xie Lan helping her get off the carriage.

When she woke up, it was already the next day.

Jiang Wan touched her head and sat up from the kang. Xie Xueling and Xiao Liu were guarding the kang. When they saw her wake up, the two children came over.

"Sister-in-law, are you awake? Are you still dizzy? Are you hungry?"

Xie Xueling kept asking questions.

Xiaoliu was a little reserved, but also concerned and asked: "Sister, are you feeling better?"

Jiang Wan shook his head, "I'm fine."

She glanced down again and said in a lost voice, "Xue Ling, who will change my clothes?"
