Su Huaiyue began to deliberately exaggerate.

"First, we need to go deep into the mountains and forests to collect some very special herbs. The places where these herbs grow are extremely secluded, often hidden between cliffs or deep in valleys rarely visited by people. Wild beasts often roam around, and if we are not careful, our lives will be in danger."

"After harvesting, it must be carefully brewed using a specific method. The degree of heat and the length of time must be precisely controlled. The slightest mistake will greatly reduce the efficacy. I put in all this effort because I want to help you."

As she spoke, there was a hint of anticipation in her eyes, and she was fully hoping that her "hard work" would deeply move him.

Wei Che listened, and was indeed moved. He looked at Su Huaiyue sincerely and said earnestly: "Thank you for your hard work. I will remember this friendship."

At this moment, a system prompt suddenly sounded in Su Huaiyue's mind: [Congratulations to the host, favorability +1%, remaining 28%]

Su Huaiyue almost couldn't help rolling her eyes, secretly complaining in her heart, after saying so much, only adding 1%?

How long will it take to get 30%?

But on the surface, she still forced a smile. Although the smile was a little forced, it also revealed a bit of relief. She said to Wei Che: "Then you should rest well first. As long as your leg injury can heal quickly, all this will be worth it for me."

The carriage continued to move slowly on the wet and muddy road. The rumbling of the wheels sounded like heavy sighs, crushing the mud along the way.

Su Huaiyue tightened his cloak, but the cold wind was still howling, like a sharp blade, cutting the air.

As the night slowly and silently spread out like a huge piece of black silk, the team finally stopped their hurried steps in an open and empty area and set up camp.

The whole day's running around and toil were like heavy shackles, making everyone exhausted to the extreme. They almost didn't want to move as soon as they touched the ground.

"Master Li, let's set up the tents first and rest for one night. The temperature in the mountains is too low, so everyone should keep warm."

Su Huaiyue gave careful instructions.

Lord Li immediately ordered his adjutant and his officers to warn the people in each household.

After the trip to Dongzhou and everyone's experience of famine and salt shortage, everyone in each family believed that Su Huaiyue was a capable person, and they also had a lot of awe and respect for the Wei family.

The officers no longer acted bossy towards them, but instead came to help the Wei family set up their tents.

Old Madam Wei, Wei Yunrou and Wei Ersao lived in one house, while Su Huaiyue brought the two little ones.

The third and fourth sisters-in-law lived in one house, and Wei Che had one for himself.

Soon, the Wei family's tent was set up, but the officials ignored the people from other families.

Yes, they were originally exiled people, and Su Huaiyue had done so much along the way to make these officials look at the Wei family differently.

The people in other families have already counted themselves as having borrowed a lot of light, and they don't expect anything more.

Su Huaiyue sighed and looked at the women and children who couldn't even open their tents. She felt very sorry for them and walked over to help them set up their tents.

Wei Che had just put the things in his tent in order when he looked up and saw Su Huaiyue's busy figure shuttling between the houses.

In the cold wind, her hair was a little messy and her cloak kept swaying with her movements, but her posture revealed a stubbornness.

Wei Che's heart moved slightly, and he followed without hesitation.

"I'll help you." Wei Che walked to Su Huaiyue's side, his voice steady and powerful, with a reassuring warmth.

Su Huaiyue turned around upon hearing the voice, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes: "Wei Che, why are you here? Your leg injury hasn't healed yet, and these tasks are..."

"It doesn't matter. You don't care about the hard work. How can I just sit there and watch?"

Wei Che interrupted her, bent down to pick up a support pole, and skillfully began to build the tent frame.

His movements were quick and decisive. Although his leg injury occasionally slowed him down, his eyes were filled with concentration, as if building this simple tent was his most important task at the moment.

Seeing this, Su Huaiyue stopped trying to persuade him, and the two of them started working side by side.

Su Huaiyue was responsible for fixing the rope. Her slender fingers were frozen red in the cold wind, but her knotting movements were still quick and precise.

Wei Che turned his head to look at her from time to time, his eyes full of concern. Several times he wanted to say something but stopped himself, as if he wanted her to take a break, but was afraid of delaying the progress.

The tent gradually took shape under their hands.

People from other families around cast grateful glances at him, and some murmured softly, "Thanks to Miss Su and Master Wei, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to endure this cold night."

Su Huaiyue was delighted when she heard this. She turned to look at Wei Che and met his gaze, which was full of appreciation and recognition.

For a moment, the two smiled at each other, as if the cold wind of the cold night had become gentler.

At this moment, the familiar system prompt sounded suddenly: [Congratulations to the host, favorability +3%]

Su Huaiyue was surprised and happy, with a gleam in her eyes.

Seeing her like this, Wei Che couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why are you so happy?"

Su Huaiyue blinked and made up an excuse, "I'm naturally happy to see everyone spend the night peacefully."

After all the tents were set up, everyone went inside to rest. Su Huaiyue and Wei Che walked back to their respective tents side by side.

Before Wei Che entered the tent, Su Huaiyue called out to him, "Come with me for a moment. I'll help you take a look at your leg injury."

Wei Che paused slightly, obviously a little surprised, but after only a moment's hesitation, he nodded slightly.

After Wei Che slowly sat down, Su Huaiyue slowly squatted down, and carefully rolled up his trouser legs with her slender fingers, revealing his legs covered with scars and bruises.

Her brows knitted into a small knot in an instant. "This journey has been really tiring. I don't know when I'll be able to fully recover."

After she finished speaking, she took out a small, exquisite and delicate porcelain bottle from her bosom as if by magic.

What was inside was the ointment that she had carefully prepared with great effort.

"If you apply this ointment on time every day, it will help you suffer less pain."

Wei Che reached out to take the ointment, but his eyes were as if attracted by a magnet, fixed firmly on Su Huaiyue's face full of concern.

"Thank you very much."

Wei Li's little face popped out from the tent at this moment, "Mother, is my uncle injured again?"

Su Huaiyue looked at her lovingly, "No, the weather is too cold, and my uncle's old injury relapsed."

Hearing that his old injury had relapsed, Wei Zhi also came out of the tent. Despite his young age, his eyebrows were twisted together and he was full of worry about Wei Che.

Su Huaiyue caught a glimpse of his little appearance and couldn't help laughing, "Zhi'er, are you feeling sorry for your uncle?"

Wei Zhi's face flushed red, his eyes were a little evasive, but his mouth was still stubborn: "I, I'm not heartbroken, I just hate that I grow up slowly, otherwise I can protect you."
