Chapter 640: Zhao Xi's Preparation
To everyone's surprise, the severely injured person who was on the brink of death was actually cured by the older brother of miss Lu? Ma Lu also knew about the situation with the Lu family. He had seen Zhao Xi driving a cart in and out of the village several times, but he had no idea that this person was a doctor.
Zhao Xi smiled at Ma Lu and the others, nodding slightly. "Yes, I am indeed a doctor. My medical skills may not be exceptional, bu...

Chapter 639: They're Going into the Mountains with Us
Before the leader of the fifth team could finish his words, a figure suddenly approached and bumped into him. He took two steps back in shock, supported by the person behind him to prevent himself from falling.
He gritted his teeth and raised his head. "What are you doing?"
Ma Lu remained expressionless. "Oops, didn't notice. Did I hurt you? Do you want me to slap you a couple of times?"
The onlookers remain...

Chapter 638: Give You a Slap
Fang Xiyue was simple-minded but not foolish. She understood the implications behind Shu Yu's words and knew that this opportunity was extremely rare. If they missed it, they might regret it for a lifetime.
She took a deep breath and nodded heavily. "I understand."
Shu Yu didn't say anything more, and the two of them quickly caught up with Ma Lu and the others, following them into the deep mountains.
When they returned from the hunt...

Chapter 637: Postponing for a Few Days
Shu Yu stared suspiciously at Meng Yunzheng, wondering if he had secretly given her family some kind of love potion without her knowledge.
Meng Yunzheng couldn't help but laugh. "I haven't done anything. It's just that when we were on the exile road before, I traveled with your family, and they saw that I had decent martial arts skills."
Suddenly, Shu Yu understood. Meng Yunzheng's martial arts were indeed quite impressive.

Shu Yu was delighted and quickly took the small pocket crossbow from Meng Yunzheng's hands. Following his instructions, she tied it to her left wrist. Instantly, she felt a slight weight and stiffness in her wrist, making it less flexible.
Meng Yunzheng then loaded an arrow onto the crossbow and the two of them went to the courtyard. They aimed at a round piece of wood not far away and gently pressed the trigger.
"Xiu!" A powerful for...

Shu Yu had already decided to return home earlier, not just for the sake of Fang Xiyue. She wanted to go back because Meng Yunzheng was coming over.
However, Ma Lu and his team planned to stay a bit longer and continue their exploration. So the two groups went their separate ways at the foot of the mountain.
As they reached the bottom, Shu Yu asked Fang Xiyue about her plans.
Fang Xiyue pursed her lips and said, "My parents don't...

Hou Shi looked at Shu Yu with a slightly complex expression. When she learned yesterday that Aunt Xue had been beaten and bagged, she was the first to suspect Shu Yu.
However, upon further thought, it didn't make sense. Whenever Shu Yu fought with the Shu family, she did it openly in front of everyone. It was no secret that she had been abused by Aunt Xue since she was young. The enmity between them was deep, so why would they need to ba...

Inside the deep mountains, the prey was naturally more abundant than on the outskirts, and the traces were slightly more chaotic. However, Fang Xiyue's experience and carefulness allowed her to quickly discover the tracks of the prey.
When they successfully took down a deer, everyone present immediately cheered. It was still early afternoon, and they had already caught two big creatures.

However, there were no other physicians available at the moment. So, the doctor set Aunt Xue's bone, but she couldn't shake off the feeling that something was not right. The pain persisted, and she couldn't determine whether it was due to the improperly set bone or the beating she receive...

However, what can they accomplish in just two days of rest? Even if they go to Linzhang Prefecture and back, most of the time will be spent on the road.

Aunt Hou looked at it and realized that even if Second Miss wasn't poisoned to death, she wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer in such a starving state. The Shu family probably feared that rumors of them starving someone to death would spread, so despite secretly hoping for her death, they still gave her half a bun to eat. Half a bun a day made no difference compared to having nothing at all.
