"Mother, it's dawn, we need to get up and leave quickly!"

Early in the morning, He Ahui personally shook Lin Xue awake, who was still asleep.

By this time, everyone else was ready, but Lin Xue was the last to get up.

"I understand. Pack your things and we'll leave right away!"

Lin Xue sat up and rubbed her face vigorously to try and clear her head.

Although he hadn't had enough sleep, he didn't have time to give her a proper rest, so he came outside the cave to breathe in some fresh air and wake himself up quickly.

"Ah Xue, this is some tiger jerky they roasted last night. Keep it with you and eat it when you're hungry!"

As soon as they emerged from the cave, they saw Liu Muchen standing outside.

The moment he saw Lin Xue come out, he handed her a package.

"It smells pretty good, this stuff is even better than rabbit meat!"

Lin Xue opened the cloth bag and smelled it; a strong aroma of meat wafted out.

Realizing that he hadn't brushed his teeth or eaten anything that morning, he carefully put the bag into his basket.

"Ha~ Hmm!"

When do we set off?

Lin Xue yawned deeply, rubbed her eyes, and asked Liu Muchen.

"We're available anytime. Are the two children alright?"

As Liu Muchen finished speaking, Lin Xue finally saw that the Liu family members were already waiting in the direction of the exit.

Only their family was still packing up, mainly Lin Xue's belongings.

"Sorry, I went to bed too late last night and woke up a little late!"

"Both children's fevers have subsided. Their mother should have given them medicine this morning. As long as nothing else goes wrong, they should be fine!"

Lin Xue couldn't help but yawn again, her two big eyes narrowing into slits.

A single, glistening tear slid down her cheek.

She was so tired, she really wanted to sleep a little longer!

However, seeing that everyone had been waiting for so long, Lin Xue felt embarrassed to make such an unreasonable request.

"Ah Xue, you're not feeling well today. Should we postpone it for another day so you can get some rest?"

Looking at the confused Lin Xue, Liu Muchen felt both cute and heartbroken for her.

Actually, he wasn't in a hurry to return to Liuzhou, so why should Ah Xue suffer along with him?

Liu Muchen felt a little guilty towards himself.

"No need, I'll just wash my face!"

You should know that washing your face is a luxury when you're fleeing famine.

Unless they come across a water source, they basically just rub it dry with their hands.

However, Lin Xue knew that her mental state was too poor right now, and if she tried to travel in this state, she would easily trip over rotten tree branches and stones blocking the way.

Therefore, sometimes luxury is a necessity.

She asked her two daughters-in-law to fetch some water for her to wash her face.

Lin Xue didn't waste the water after washing her face; her two daughters-in-law and several sons also used that water to wash their faces.

Everyone perked up immediately. They poured out the dirty water, packed up the small wooden basins, and set off.

"Da Gui, did you give our donkey water this morning?"

Walking along the mountain path, Lin Xue asked Li Dagui behind her.

"Mom, this is the water I personally fed you this morning!"

"The donkey is now a heavy laborer in our family. Even if I don't drink, I'll make sure it's full!"

After hearing Li Dagui's words, Lin Xue felt relieved and focused on looking at the road in front of her and the surrounding scenery.

"Damn bandits! If it weren't for them, we wouldn't have to walk through this beautiful place with such fear!"

The scenery here is truly beautiful. Yes, from this path you can see that the opposite cliff is covered with many beautiful wildflowers.

Those flowers are so beautiful! If she weren't in such a hurry, Lin Xue would have loved to transplant a few of them into her own space.

"Wait a minute!"

Thinking this, Lin Xue looked at the wildflowers on the cliff with even more fervor.

But as she looked at it, she felt that something was wrong.

"What's wrong?"

Hearing Lin Xue's words, Liu Muchen, who was walking beside her, looked at her with some curiosity.

"Look at those little flowers on the cliff!"

Lin Xue pointed to the small yellow flowers swaying gracefully on the cliff and said to Liu Muchen.

"What's so special about those wildflowers?"

Liu Muchen didn't recognize the little flower immediately, and asked with some puzzlement.

"Rock Coptis!"

Lin Xue simply uttered three words, yet they made Liu Muchen stop in his tracks.

"Is that Coptis chinensis? A miraculous medicine that can cure terminal illnesses?"

Mr. Liu, a businessman who owns several pharmacies, is very familiar with the names of rare herbs.

So as soon as he heard the name "Yanhuanglian," he immediately knew what was on the cliff.

"Hmm! It's a bit of a shame to miss out like this!"

If Lin Xue knew kung fu, she would have jumped over and picked the fruit herself long ago.

Unfortunately, she only knew some basic external skills and didn't know any light-body techniques.

"Liu Zhi, take Liu Ren and the others up there and pick that rocky Coptis for me. Remember to be careful, because in addition to the whole plant, the roots and rhizomes inside also have great medicinal value!"

Liu Muchen now wishes he could also master light-body skills, so he could take action himself.

Unfortunately, he was just an ordinary person. He was good at doing business, but he didn't have the talent for martial arts.

He's now over 40 years old, and all he learned in his youth were a few self-defense skills.

However, it's just a superficial facade; it's completely useless.
