However, she inadvertently noticed a luxurious carriage next to the little girl, and the grandfather and granddaughter were both dressed in brocade. They must be from a wealthy family!

Moreover, having fled all the way from the north with such attire, they must have come prepared, perhaps with a map or food.

Perhaps, they even have a road permit.

Lin Jinyue called out to her father and walked straight over.

Lin Jinyue walked over and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

The little girl turned around warily, but when she saw that it was a girl about her age, she breathed a sigh of relief. She asked in a low voice, "Can you help me take my grandfather to a nearby town? I... I can give you money."

Lin Jinyue thought to herself, "This little girl is so naive. In this world, she actually dares to expose her wealth to strangers."

The two people's attire and the luxurious carriage were already eye-catching enough.

Lin Jinyue then said, "My mother is a doctor, and I also know a little about medicine."

The little girl glanced at the father and daughter. She was desperate and grasping at straws. Moreover, the two men in front of her looked upright and didn't seem like bad people, so she begged them for help.

Lin Jinyue went to check on the old man's condition. She first examined him in person and saw that his face was pale and his lips were purple, making him look like he had been poisoned.

Lin Jinyue took his pulse again, and the pulse felt somewhat familiar.

Lin Jinyue then said, "I'm afraid they were bitten by poisonous insects or snakes. There are no medicinal herbs here, so we have to go back to the village."

Seeing that his daughter wanted to save people, Lin Shucheng helped them carry the two servants who had fallen to the ground into the carriage, and then carried the old man onto the carriage.

How could he not understand what his daughter meant?

I reckon they're after these people because they're rich and want to do business with them.

Lin Shucheng drove the carriage, while Lin Jinyue rode the horse. The father and daughter turned back, it seemed they wouldn't be able to go down the mountain to buy supplies this time.

Lin Jinyue brought the two people back, and everyone in the village was very wary of them.

They were just ordinary folks who had never seen such a luxurious carriage before!

Tan Xue then took out a large silver ingot: "Please, please save my grandfather."

Lin Jinyue accepted the silver ingot without hesitation, and then asked about her background, "Judging from your accent, you're from the North?"

Tan Xue nodded: "Yes, my father is a merchant. We wanted to go to Lingnan, but we encountered bandits on the way, and we are left with only this many people."

Lin Jinyue asked, somewhat puzzled, "How did you get here? It must be difficult to come all the way from the north these days."

Seeing that Lin Jinyue's mother had already come out with silver needles to help people, Tan Xue said some things, some truth and some falsehood: "We came by water."

Lin Jinyue raised an eyebrow: "Which waterway?"

If the Great Xia Dynasty can now sail out to sea, wouldn't her plan to go to Lingnan to find a small island to escape the war have to be changed again?

That doesn't make sense. Geographically speaking, if they were really going by sea, why not go directly to Lingnan instead of heading this way?

Tan Xue then said, "Yangzhou has been captured. My grandfather spent a lot of money to travel directly from the capital to Yangzhou by water. After passing Yangzhou, he came here by water again."

Lin Jinyue was slightly taken aback. She had originally thought that the war wouldn't last long. Prince Jing was very powerful, advancing northward with unstoppable momentum. The current emperor was incompetent, and the flames of war were about to reach him, yet he listened to treacherous officials and only cared about his own enjoyment. It should be easy to defeat him.

Unexpectedly, Yangzhou, the stronghold of Prince Jing, was captured.

Tan Xue then said, "That's why we're preparing to come to Lingnan to stay with our relatives. My grandfather said that Lingnan is the only safe place now."

After hesitating for a moment, she said to Lin Jinyue, "Are you planning to stay in the village? It's not safe anywhere now. You'd be better off going to Lingnan."

Lin Jinyue couldn't help but think that Tan Xue was quite kind-hearted.

The fact that she would advise them to go to Lingnan suggests that, besides her, many others know that Lingnan is currently the safest place.

Lin Gou Dan said with a smile, "Our group was originally going to Lingnan, but Er Ya persuaded us to go."

He said this with an expression of pride.

Tan Xue was slightly taken aback. Her grandfather and several uncles had discussed it for a long time before deciding to go to Lingnan, but this little girl, who was about the same age as her, had also thought of this.

Lin Jinyue smiled and remained silent.

However, his feelings of goodwill towards Tan Xue and her grandfather increased considerably.

Jiang Yun treated Grandpa Tan Xue's illness. The insect poisoning was easy to treat, but the old man's health was really bad, and he had many chronic diseases.

Jiang Yun then said to Tan Xue, "Insect poisoning is easy to treat, but your grandfather has other old ailments. Did you bring any medicine with you when you came?"

Tan Xue quickly rummaged through the small box under the carriage to find their medicinal herbs.

There are actually quite a few ginseng and lingzhi mushrooms that are thousands of years old and have high prices but are hard to find.

Lin Jinyue's eyelids twitched. Tan Xue really was naive, casually taking out such a treasure.

Therefore, they completely believed Tan Xue's claim that her family was a merchant family.

Jiang Yun was a skilled doctor. That very night, Tan Xue's grandfather woke up, and the two guards who had been seriously injured and bitten by poisonous insects were also healed.

Not only that, Jiang Yun used acupuncture on the old man, and he felt much more comfortable. His hands and feet, which were originally cold and numb, were much better, and he even felt like he was ten years younger.

Old Tan bowed to Jiang Yun and said, "Thank you, Doctor. You are truly a miracle worker. Even the famous doctors in the capital cannot do this, but you have done it."

As he spoke, Old Tan asked his granddaughter to bring out the thousand-year-old ginseng, insisting on giving it to Jiang Yun.

The next day, seeing that Old Master Tan had recovered, Lin Jinyue asked Jiang Yun to go to the city with her to buy some things, while Lin Xueqing stayed behind to take charge.
