Xu Jinhuan thought for a moment and said, "Find a bamboo tube and put it in. Don't feed it yet. You can feed it after we get down the mountain."

Otherwise, if Xu Youyou faints, she'll have to find someone to carry her down the mountain, which would be pointless.

Xie Guangbai nodded after hearing this, "Yes, I'll go prepare right away."

Xie Datou walked over at this moment. "Boss, everything's packed. Shall we set off now?"

Xu Jinhuan smiled and nodded, "Let's hurry on our way while it's still not too hot, so we can have a good rest at noon."

Having received the order, Xie Datou immediately called out loudly to everyone, "Listen up, everyone, we're setting off now!"

Upon hearing the sound, Li Xiaoxiao ran to Xu Jinhuan's side with her small bundle on her back, took her hand, and said with a bright smile, "I want to go with my sister."

Xu Jinhuan affectionately patted Li Xiaoxiao's head and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll lead you."

As Xu Jinhuan took Li Xiaoxiao's hand, Li Xiaoxiao immediately sensed a gaze. She looked in the direction of the gaze and vaguely saw a young man.

The young man carried a faint scent of medicine and a slight smell of blood, but she couldn't smell anything else. This was unlike anyone Li Xiaoxiao had ever met before.

Li Xiaoxiao looked at the man a few more times out of curiosity, and then asked Xu Jinhuan beside her, "Sister, who is that person? I don't think I've ever seen him before."

Xu Jinhuan looked at Kong Duiyue, who was still pale-faced not far away, and explained to Li Xiaoxiao.

“That’s an old acquaintance of your brother, Big Head. He’s seriously ill and needs Doctor Xie’s help to treat him, so he’s traveling with us for the time being.”

Li Xiaoxiao nodded in sudden realization, assuming that she hadn't detected the man's soul because he didn't have much time left, and stopped paying attention to Kong Duiyue.

At this moment, Kong Duiyue took a deep look at Li Xiaoxiao and felt that the scene just now was really an eyesore. Why did all these people like to get close to Jin Huan?

Unfortunately, given his current status, he can't do anything and can only watch silently.

Seeing Kong Duiyue emerge from not far away, Xie Datou walked over with a smile, "Brother Kong, come with me. If you feel unwell, just tell me."

After saying that, Xie Datou grabbed Kong Duiyue and pulled him to the front of the line before Kong Duiyue could refuse.

In order to maintain her sickly appearance, Kong Duiyue could not use her martial arts skills and could only be dragged further and further away from Xu Jinhuan by Xie Datou, a brute.

For a moment, he regretted creating this sickly beauty image for himself.

When Jin Huan finished reading the novel, he kept mentioning the "sickly handsome man," which left a deep impression on him. Subconsciously, when creating his clone, he created the image of Kong Duiyue...

Xu Jinhuan had no idea what Kong Duiyue was thinking. At this moment, she pulled Li Xiaoxiao along and followed the others out.

And so, the group of over a hundred people left the mountain village in a grand procession and headed down the mountain.

As they walked, the women couldn't help but start chatting idly.

"It's a good thing we got up early. It's only 3:45 a.m. and the sun is already quite strong. I wonder how hot it will be at noon."

"That's right, the sun is as strong as it was on the day we were exiled. The sunlight is shining down as if it's free. Luckily, we don't have to wear shackles anymore."

When someone mentioned the day of exile, many people felt as if it were a lifetime ago. It had only been a little over ten days, but everyone's situation had changed dramatically.

Looking at the constables who were protecting them ahead, the woman felt even more grateful to Xu Jinhuan.

"Who would have thought that we exiles could get along so well with the constables and work together as one?"

"Yes, it's all thanks to Boss Xu. If it weren't for her, we wouldn't have been able to travel, and we would have lost our lives in this flood."

"Once we get to the north, we must repay Boss Xu properly. We must never forget this kindness."

The women chattered excitedly about what they could do to repay Xu Jinhuan, completely oblivious to the increasingly scorching sun.

So everyone listened to this all the way. When they reached the foot of the mountain, the others didn't think anything of it, but the women who had been chatting were all parched.

He picked up the water pouch on his body and gulped down a large mouthful of water.

Seeing this, Xu Jinhuan shook her head helplessly. She walked to Xie Datou's side and instructed, "Datou, arrange the people sitting in the carriage according to the principle of giving priority to the elderly, weak, women and children."

Xie Datou nodded with a smile, "Alright, boss, you go and rest under the shade of the tree first. I'll take Li Yichang and the others and we'll get everything arranged quickly."

After saying that, Xie Datou turned around and went to find Li Yichang, completely forgetting about his sickly Brother Kong.

When Kong Duiyue saw Xu Jinhuan, a hint of joy flashed in her eyes. Then she coughed weakly twice, swayed slightly, and took the opportunity to move closer to Xu Jinhuan.

Before Kong Duiyue could speak, she heard Xie Datou's loud voice from behind.

"Brother Kong, I've arranged a carriage for you! Hey, why are you coughing again? Are you feeling unwell? Come on, get in the carriage!"

As Xie Datou walked and talked, he reached Kong Duiyue's side and, without saying a word, pulled him toward the carriage not far away.

Kong Duiyue: ...

Why did he save that brute Xie Datou in the first place?!

Xie Datou had no idea that his beloved Brother Kong was already regretting saving him. He happily sent Kong Duiyue onto the carriage, thinking he had done a great job.

He used to be helped by Brother Kong, and now he can finally do something for Brother Kong.

Xu Jinhuan only noticed that Kong Duiyue had just coughed next to her. Xu Jinhuan subconsciously took out a mask and skillfully put it on her face.

Although we know there is no epidemic yet, it's always good to be prepared.

"Xie Guangbai, make those epidemic prevention sachets that you led people to make yesterday, and distribute them later. If one per person isn't enough, then at least make sure there are a few in each carriage."

As soon as Xie Guangbai heard Xu Jinhuan call him, he immediately jogged over. He nodded and was about to distribute the epidemic prevention sachets when he heard Xu Jinhuan call him again.

"Pour that sleeping pill into Xu Youyou's mouth. I don't want to see her awake during the journey ahead, understand?" Xu Jinhuan glanced at him indifferently and said.

Xie Guangbai nodded, and his aura changed as he turned around. After all, if you really think about it, Xu Youyou was the fuse that caused the Xie family's troubles.

Xie Guangbai took the bamboo tube and walked to Xu Youyou's side.

At this moment, Xu Youyou's eyes were swollen to the size of walnuts; after all, who wouldn't be swollen after crying all day?

She felt the shadow in front of her, looked up and saw Xie Guangbai, and froze on the spot.

Yesterday, she cried in the yard until noon. Liu Dani complained that she was blocking the way, so Wang Manshan grabbed her by the collar and threw her into the woodshed where she continued to cry. That's why Xie Guangbai didn't come out.

"It's you? What are you doing here?" Xu Youyou looked at Xie Guangbai in confusion.
