The simple map we had before was completely unusable. After passing Runan County, we were just going forward by instinct.

Honestly, Lin Jinyue didn't even know if she had taken the wrong route.

Lin Jinyue was also unsure. She thought, "This system can show the weather forecast and warn of danger, so why can't it show maps?"

Lin Jinyue found an open space to rest.

The location here is good, halfway up the mountain, and you can see a city in the distance, a fairly large county town, but it's quite far away. It would probably take two days to get there.

Lin Jinyue planned to find a way to enter the city and see if she could buy a map.

Seeing Liu Dazhuang standing in the tree, looking around with binoculars, she asked, "Uncle Dazhuang, what are you looking at? Look at the town over there, can you see it clearly?"

Liu Dazhuang: "I saw a village on a high place to the west. It's not far, I estimate it's about an hour's walk away. It looks abandoned. I guess there's a famine going around, and the bandits inside have run away. I think that place is good, we can rest for a couple of days. I see that everyone is a bit exhausted."

Lin Jinyue was surprised by the new discovery and nodded: "Yes, we need to rest for two days. We're running out of herbs."

Liu Dazhuang responded and turned to look at the city in the distance.

Unexpectedly, the branch was teetering on the brink of collapse, and that thick branch began to break!

With Liu Dazhuang's skills, he could have easily grabbed onto other branches, but his first instinct was to protect the binoculars. Liu Dazhuang fell straight down, his body scratched by branches, lying on the ground covered in blood.

Liu Dazhuang glanced at the intact binoculars in his arms and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, thankfully, nothing is broken.

When Lin Jinyue handed him the item, she had already said that this thing had to be used carefully, as it was easy to break, and once it broke, it couldn't be made again.

Along the way, the binoculars helped them solve countless problems. Without them, if they encountered refugees or patrolling soldiers, given their fighting strength, hunger, and exhaustion, they would have been easy prey.

Before Liu Dazhuang lost consciousness, all he could think about was: Thank goodness, this precious telescope wasn't broken; it's the hope of the whole village.

Everyone was terrified by Liu Dazhuang.

Liu Dazhuang looked truly miserable. He was spitting out mouthfuls of blood, his right leg was twisted in a bizarre position, and a sharp branch had pierced his chest, from which blood was still gushing. He looked like he was about to die.

His wife and mother rushed over, crying and wailing.

Jiang Yun quickly came out with her medicine kit to treat Liu Dazhuang.

Jiang Yun shouted, "Stop crying! Go to the river to fetch water and chop firewood, and we also need to boil some hot water. Hurry up and don't dawdle! Yueyue, you and I will help stop Dazhuang's bleeding."

Everyone was stunned, frozen in place, staring at Jiang Yun in disbelief:

"Is there any hope for this?"

Seeing that they weren't moving, Jiang Yun became anxious. "Hurry up! Don't waste time."

Everyone immediately got to work; it would be good if they could be saved.

Everyone saw that Liu Dazhuang was so badly injured because he protected the telescope in time and didn't have time to save himself. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been in such a bad state, getting poked by a tree branch.

Everyone got busy. The men of the Liu family rushed to boil water and disinfect the cotton cloth used to bandage the wound. Other men, women, and children in the village were also busy, frantically searching for more herbs so that Jiang Yun wouldn't be short of them when she needed them.

Fortunately, the villagers had learned a lot about the appearance of common wound medicines from Jiang Yun during this time. Even if they were unsure about something, they would pick it if it looked like a herb and take it home first.

Lin Jinyue assisted Jiang Yun from the side.

It's a pity I can't bring Liu Dazhuang into the system space. The environment there is good, but here it's dirty and messy. What if another poisonous snake jumps out?

Jiang Yun first stopped the bleeding.

Besides the fatal wound on his chest, Liu Dazhuang had many other scratches from tree branches, and his femoral artery was also lacerated.

Simple medication couldn't stop the bleeding quickly, so Jiang Yun swiftly and accurately gave him more than a dozen needle pricks. A miraculous thing happened: the gushing blood stopped immediately.

There was still some wound medicine left, so Jiang Yun sprinkled the powder on it and immediately bandaged him up.

That wasn't all. Jiang Yun quickly wrote a prescription with a charcoal pencil and asked Lin Jinyue to brew the medicine. After giving the instructions, she quickly set Liu Dazhuang's bone and then fixed it with a wooden board.

After everything was done, Jiang Yun took Liu Dazhuang's pulse, looked at his wife who was crying her eyes out, and said to her, "Your life has been saved. After taking two more doses of medicine, you will get better."

Everyone looked at Jiang Yun in shock.

Is this a joke?

Liu Dazhuang was really unlucky. Everyone saw that he had been unconscious, his chest was stained with blood, his leg was broken on the spot, and his limbs were twisted, making him look like he was no longer human.

In that terrible state, how could they possibly be saved?!

The way everyone looked at Jiang Yun changed; their eyes were filled with eagerness.

Some villagers whispered, "Miracle doctor."

Families who sent their daughters to study medicine were especially excited. If they could learn it, it would be a skill that would allow them to make a living. If a family member had a headache or fever, they wouldn't have to spend so much money to go to the clinic.

Before long, everyone who had gone out to gather herbs returned.

Lin Jinyue said to them, "Pack up everything on the cart. We're going to the village that Uncle Dazhuang mentioned. Uncle Dazhuang needs to rest for a few more days."

She originally planned to stay in that village for two nights and leave early the day after tomorrow, not wanting to waste even a moment.

After all, there was war everywhere. Prince Jing and Prince Ning had rebelled, the people were suffering, and there were peasant uprisings in many places. If you encountered them, you could easily become cannon fodder.

Lin Jinyue only felt at ease after arriving in Lingnan as soon as possible.

It's not easy to start a war in Lingnan. It's a wild and untamed place with difficult mountain roads. Those are all primeval forests. Not to mention the miasma, the poisonous insects and snakes, and those mountain roads alone are enough to keep the army out.

Moreover, the Great Northern Dynasty banned maritime trade, and both Prince Jing and the Emperor considered going to sea to be unlucky, so Lingnan was considered quite safe.

Even if something unexpected happens and a war breaks out over there, Lin Jinyue can easily find a way to get a boat, go out to sea, find a deserted island to hide on, and go back whenever the fighting is over.

However, although she was eager to go to Lingnan, she still had to wait for Liu Dazhuang to recover from his injuries.

We agreed not to abandon anyone, and Liu Dazhuang fell down while helping with reconnaissance in the tree. If we don't help this time, who will dare to go up the mountain in the future?

They walked for an hour and had already reached the mountain stronghold.

These villages are usually bandit strongholds in the mountains, but in recent years, with famine and war, even bandits can't withstand them.

No one knew how long the village had been abandoned. The wooden watchtower looked dilapidated. Her father pushed open a door, but with just a light touch, the door panel collapsed.
