Ye Nuanxin felt a pinch, and her hand, which was stiff at her side, slowly stroked his back. His back was covered with fine sand, and every time she stroked it, the sand fell down.

"How did you end up like this?"

He rubbed Ye Nuan's neck again and suddenly let out a muffled laugh: "I've been looking for you... I've been looking for you for a long, long time... I finally found you." His voice was full of joy of regaining what he had lost.

He was unusually intimate with her, and Ye Nuan felt a little uncomfortable.

Over Qi Wuze's shoulder, she saw Chu Xuesong, also in a state of disarray, his face red and swollen, appear outside the camp. He smiled broadly at the sight of her indistinguishable features, but then lowered his head and simply stood at a distance.

A group of people in the camp were still holding weapons, and they didn't know what to do when they saw this scene. They looked at Ye Nuan and Qi Wuze, and then at their young master.

Liu Yu couldn't stand being ignored, so he reached out and tried to pull the two of them apart. However, Qi Wuze was holding them too tightly, and his face flushed red as he couldn't pull them apart. He shouted, "Let go! My sister is mine, and you are not allowed to hold her!"

Ye Nuan groaned softly from the pain of being pulled. Qi Wuze nervously moved her behind him and stared at Liu Yu coldly. Liu Yu, like a child who had done something wrong, withdrew her hand awkwardly and said reluctantly, "Sister, I didn't mean to do that. Can you please come over to my side?"

He reached out to pull it again, but Qi Wuze was quick to grab his hand and pinch his bones, causing him to scream in pain. The guards in the camp immediately surrounded him and shouted anxiously, "What do you want to do? Let our master go."

Seeing that the situation was not good, Ye Nuan quickly pulled his hand and said, "It's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding! Aze, they saved me."

Qi Wuze's eyes flickered slightly, and he obediently let go of his hand. He looked Liu Yu up and down, then looked around at the people in the camp and asked, "Are you from the Desert City?"

Liu Yu pinched his wrist and said angrily, "I said this is Liuguang City. I am the youngest son of the Lord of Liuguang City. How dare you be rude to me!"

Qi Wuze's attitude became much better. "So you are the son of the Lord of Liuguang City. Are you going to the Creation Pavilion? Thank you all for rescuing Ah Nuan today. I will definitely go to the Creation Pavilion to express my gratitude tomorrow."

"It's getting late, so we won't disturb you from resting. Ah Nuan, why don't you thank me? Let's go back first."

Ye Nuan was overjoyed and said to Liu Yu, "Thank you very much. I will definitely prepare a generous gift in return tomorrow."

Liu Yu refused to give in and suddenly rushed over to hug Ye Nuan's waist, but Qi Wuze grabbed her collar like a chicken, and no matter how hard she struggled, it was useless. She immediately looked at Ye Nuan with grievance, and said in a tone that was intimate and coquettish: "Sister, you can't leave. I like you, you can't leave."

Qi Wuze sneered: "How old are you? Why are you calling someone sister?"

Liu Yu's expression changed, and he cursed, "What do you care? Anyway, I'm about the same age as my sister, but you look dirty and old."

Qi Wuze was shivering all over, and the black gold broken knife on his back was trembling. Everyone was used to the young master's unreasonable behavior, but they were also afraid that this cold man would take action.

Just as they were feeling the pinch, Chu Xuesong strolled out, smiling and saying to everyone, "You haven't been to the wasteland for a while, so you might not know that besides the Creation Pavilion, there's also a Yunjian Farm. There's food there too, and the farm is owned by Miss Ye Nuan. Since your master can't leave her, why don't you just go straight to Yunjian Farm?"

Jiang Ji actually dared to inform Qi Wuze to set him up, so don't blame him for stealing her business.

Liu Yu's eyes immediately sparkled, and he stood up straight and said happily, "Okay, Hu Li, let's go to Yunjian Farm!"

Hu Li was the female general leading the team this time. She was tall and a little fierce. She immediately said in embarrassment: "Young Master, we used to exchange food at the Creation Pavilion in previous years. It's not a good idea to suddenly change our route to an unfamiliar place, right?" If something went wrong, Liuguang City would have a hard time this winter.

Ye Nuan's eyes turned slightly, and she smiled and said, "What's good or bad about it? The most important thing is to exchange for food. The food we have at Yunjian Farm is all new food. The price is cheaper than at the Creation Pavilion, and there are more varieties than at the Creation Pavilion. It's definitely a good deal."

"It must be fate that you met me. Since you saved me, I can give you some extra fruit."

We all do business together, so this isn't considered unfair competition.

Everyone was a little excited, but Liu Yu was still urging them: "Let's go, let's go to Yunjian Farm. I want to go to my sister's farm."

Hu Li was still hesitant, so Ye Nuan quickly pulled out a bunch of purple grapes from her cloth bag and showed them to everyone: "Look, these are grapes from our farm. They're big and sweet, better than any grapes you've ever seen, right?"

Grapes were rare, but everyone present had seen them before. Liu Yu's eyes lit up, and he immediately took the grape and took a bite. Hu Li was so frightened that he shouted, "Young Master!" Young Master wasn't afraid of poison.

Liu Yu ate and smiled, "Hu Li, these grapes are delicious, even better than the ones mother sent me." He looked at Ye Nuan again, "Sister, why did you put grapes in your pocket? I didn't see them before."

Of course, she got it from the space. Ye Nuan avoided his words and coaxed, "These grapes are delicious, right? My farm also has oranges, dragon fruits, tangerines, pears... There are also plenty of vegetables and grains and oils. There is also a large pasture and fish in the pond."

The people present were more and more surprised as they listened. How could there be pastures, ponds and fish in this desolate place like the wilderness?

I really want to go and take a look. Maybe this time it’s God’s guidance and they can find cheap and good food to take back.

"I want to eat, let's go quickly, what are we waiting for. Hu Li, quickly pack up the tent, let's go to my sister's farm now!" Liu Yu was in a hurry, fearing that the ranch would run away.

Hu Li had originally intended to go, but now he felt hesitant to leave: "Young Master, it's dark in the wilderness and there are bandits and wild animals. It's not safe. Let's wait until daybreak before setting off."

The howling of wolves could be heard in the distance, and there were only a few scattered stars in the sky.

Liu Yu was unhappy and was about to pull Ye Nuan's sleeve when Qi Wuze calmly pushed him away. Chu Xuesong immediately said to Hu Li, "The bandit leader Wei Qian of the wilderness died not long ago. The one before you is Qi Wuze, the lord of Luomu City. As long as you follow us, you won't be afraid of wild beasts."

Even across the desert, Hu Li knew who the Lord of Luomu City was. She couldn't help but look at Qi Wuze twice more and asked suspiciously, "Lord Qi?"

Qi Wuze glanced at the calm Chu Xuesong. He couldn't figure out what this man's purpose was in approaching Ah Nuan, but he didn't want to get angry right now, so he just suppressed it for the time being. He coughed twice and took out the City Lord's Order from his waist. "Are you relieved now?"

Hu Li smiled and saluted, "If it's City Lord Qi, then I'm relieved. It's said that the wolves in the wilderness obey the City Lord's orders. With the protection of the wolf pack, I'm naturally not afraid of other beasts."

"Let's go." Qi Wuze blew a whistle, and the snow-stepping horse appeared in the camp. He took Ye Nuan's hand and wanted to leave, but Liu Yu refused again and clung to her, calling her sister, sister all the time.

Hu Li began to ask everyone to pack up the tents and prepare to set off. He led the camel for Liu Yu to ride, but Liu Yu refused and insisted on riding with Ye Nuan.

The situation became deadlocked again.

Ye Nuan looked at the aggrieved boy and then at Qi Wuze with a sullen face. She tentatively discussed with Qi Wuze, "How about I ride a camel with him?"

How could Qi Wuze, who had just experienced loss and recovery, agree? He sneered at the aggrieved young man, rode away, and ignored him even though he was shouting behind him.

Hu Li was helpless and came to his side to persuade him: "Young Master, if you don't leave now, people will run away."

Liu Yu stopped laughing, climbed onto the camel, and asked Chu Xuesong, who was standing beside him with a bruised face, "What is the relationship between City Lord Qi and my sister?"

Chu Xuesong glanced at him and said nonchalantly, "Of course it's because your younger brother can't compare to him." He had no good feelings towards the competitor who suddenly appeared. If he couldn't beat Qi Wuze, could he not beat him?

"You!" Liu Yu gritted his teeth, his face flushed red as he angrily said, "Ugly people are more likely to do bad things. You're so ugly you should be called a clown, why call me Xiaobai?"

Chu Xuesong was not angry at all, and retorted: "When I get better, you will know who is uglier. Brother, you'd better leave quickly, your sister can't see anymore!" After saying that, he didn't want to pay any attention to the two-faced Shaojun, and quickened his pace.

Liu Yu was furious as a pufferfish. He turned to Hu Li and said, "When we get to the farm, find a way to get rid of these two annoying people!"

Hu Li was embarrassed, but in order not to make the ancestor angry, he had to nod in agreement.

Liu Yu felt better and drove his camel to chase Ye Nuan and the others.

Camel bells jingled along the way, and torches slowly moved forward across the wasteland. From time to time, wild animals stopped to look, but none of them attacked. At 11:00 PM, they arrived at the farm. A bonfire was still lit on the farm, and Su was standing at the gate, looking out.

Ye Xiaohu and Qi Ya didn't sleep either, they sat in the corridor waiting.

Seeing the flames moving towards them from afar, they were so excited that they wanted to run out, but fortunately, Su held them back. When the flames gradually approached, Qi Wuze drove Ye Nuan into the yard. She dismounted and hurriedly said to her mother, "Mom, a caravan is coming to our place to exchange food today. Please pack up and make room for them in the wooden house next door."

Su saw Qi Wuze's embarrassed look at a glance, but the large army was about to arrive, so she didn't ask too many questions and hurried to tidy up the house.

Ye Nuan turned sideways and said to the person beside her, "I've boiled water in the pot. Go take a shower first. I'll get Xiaobai's clothes for you to change into. You can sleep here tonight."

Qi Wuze shook her sleeve, not wanting to leave, and said softly, "I'll wait until I've arranged for them before going. It won't hurt to wait any longer anyway."

His face was so haggard that Ye Nuan was frightened. She patiently coaxed him, "Go first. Did you bring the medicine I prescribed for you? If not, I'll get you something else later."

The golden wound medicine was in her sleeve. Qi Wuze wanted to be alone with her, so he shook his head shamelessly and said, "I lost it in the desert."

"I'm going to go wash up first. You can help me apply the medicine later. I also have a wound on my back."

Ye Nuan thought that it was all because of her injuries and nodded in agreement.

While Qi Wuze was walking towards the kitchen, Ye Nuan found two pieces of clothes that she had just made but hadn't had time to give to Xiaobai and handed them to Qi Ya: "Send these to your eldest brother."

Qi Ya was very obedient and went to deliver the clothes.

Ye Nuan asked everyone to drive the camels to the pasture before taking them to the patio in the yard. Liu Yu immediately clung to her, calling her "sister, sister" non-stop. Ye Xiaohu grabbed hold of Ye Nuan's sleeve and stared at him with a fierce look.

He immediately realized that Ye Xiaohu and Ye Nuan looked somewhat similar, squatted down and praised: "This is my sister's brother, so cute."

Ye Xiaohu slapped his hand away and said with puffed cheeks: "She is my sister, not your sister."

"Xiaohu, don't be rude. This is Brother Liuyu. He has helped my sister." Ye Xiaohu pursed his lips and took two steps back. He didn't like this brother.

"Yu'er, he's shy, don't mind. How about you guys rest first and talk about exchanging food tomorrow?" Ye Nuan smiled apologetically at Hu Li behind Liu Yu and said, "General Hu, there aren't many houses on the farm. I'm afraid we'll have to squeeze in a little."

There were over fifty people from Liuguang City this time, including over thirty experts. On the way, except for Liu Yuhui who stayed in a tent, the others all just rested by the campfire, as having a house was already a blessing.

Hu Li cupped his hands and said, "I'm not wronged. Sorry to bother Miss Ye."

"It's not a big deal. Let my mother take you to rest. We can talk about the rest tomorrow."

Hu Li nodded and waved for everyone to follow Su. However, Liu Yu pestered Ye Nuan and asked, "Sister, where are you living? I want to live next door to you!"

This bastard was up to something again. If he hadn't followed her secretly and been discovered halfway, she would have found someone to send him back.

Hu Li had a headache and wanted to knock the person out and take him away!

He refused to give in and started to cling to her again: "Sister, where do you live? I want to live next door to you!"

This boy is so difficult to deal with, it's obvious that he is spoiled at home!

Seeing her embarrassment, Hu Li was about to step forward to persuade her, but Chu Xuesong stepped forward first and said with a smile: "A Nuan's place is full, so you should stay with General Hu."

"She's worried about you living alone if you suddenly move to a new place."

After he reminded him, Hu Li's expression became more serious and he immediately said: "Yes, Shaojun, you should live with us." Although Shaojun is naughty and often gives them a headache, he is the city lord's sweetheart and cannot make any mistakes.

Liu Yu looked at Ye Nuan, and seeing that she didn't say anything, he could only nod sadly: "Okay, I'll come to see my sister again tomorrow morning." Then, surrounded by the crowd, he walked towards the cabin, looking back every few steps.

After everyone left, Ye Nuan turned to look at Chu Xuesong, pointed at the wound on his face and asked, "What's wrong with your face?"

Such a handsome face could not be seen in its original state at all, it was red, swollen and bruised.

"Don't tell me you fell!" It was obvious that he was beaten. Considering Qi Wuze's red and swollen nose, she had already guessed what happened.

Chu Xuesong opened his mouth, but the usually eloquent man suddenly fell silent, lowered his eyes, and after a while, he suddenly whispered, "I'm sorry..." The voice was so low that it was almost inaudible.

Ye Nuan was silent for a while before finally asking, "Do you know martial arts?"
