The woman's body was repaired by supernatural powers, and was actually no different from an ordinary person, but the man was worried about her and insisted on supporting her.

She also felt strange. How could she recover so quickly after a difficult labor? But she was only confused for a moment and thought that the person who saved her was a skilled doctor.

Qi Yanxuan and the other two were setting up the tent.

"Uncle! The storm is coming soon. While there is still food for sale in the city, notify the villagers to exchange all the silver and money they have for food. The silver notes will be of no use in the future." Qi Yanxuan did not stop his hands as he spoke.

Shen Yanshan frowned upon hearing this. "But aren't there soldiers in the city coming to recruit soldiers? It's only been a day, they won't leave before they recruit enough people, right?"

"We don't know when they will leave, but we have to leave here. We can't reach the next city before the storm."

"Then how do we get into the city? We'll be arrested before we even get in, right?"

"Just put on makeup. Pick a few people tomorrow and I'll make them look like old people. That way, they can sneak into the city."

"Okay! Then I'll talk to the village chief tomorrow morning."

As they were chatting, they saw the scholar and his family walking towards them.

The woman's moon-white dress was dotted with bloodstains, but her originally messy hair had obviously been tidied up. Although her dress was stained with blood, her gentle temperament had lost the dishevel she had during childbirth.

The man bowed to Qi Yanxuan and said, "Sir! This is my wife, Wan Niang. I want to thank you for saving my life!"

Wan Niang bowed deeply to Qi Yanxuan.

"Thank you so much for saving my mother and child!"

Qi Yanxuan stopped what he was doing and looked at them, nodding and saying, "Well, no need to be so polite."

After seeing his wife thank him, the man took out a piece of paper from his clothes and handed it to Qi Yanxuan with both hands.

"Sir! My surname is Xu and my name is Wenliang. I've said before that if you can save my wife, I will be your slave for life and will obey your orders forever. I will never betray you. This is your indenture, please accept it!"

Qi Yanxuan was moved when he saw that Xu Wenliang looked serious and not fake. He thought that he was a good man who was willing to abandon the anger and dignity of a scholar just to save his wife and children. He did not reach out to take the indenture.

"No need! I accept your thanks, but I don't need to sell my body indenture. I didn't save your wife and children for this."

The end of the world is almost here, and there is no point in selling one's body into a contract, and he doesn't need slaves.

The man was a little embarrassed when he saw Qi Yanxuan refused to accept it. Yes, now that everyone is fleeing, it's not much use to have a slave. It's better to exchange it for other rewards. The man thought to himself and saw that there was no one around. Then he took out five hundred-liang silver notes from his chest and handed three of them to Qi Yanxuan.

"Since you do not need servants, please accept these banknotes. Otherwise, I will be unable to repay you and my heart will be filled with regret."

"One is enough. I'm giving you a piece of advice: try to exchange your banknotes for food. In the future, banknotes will be less useful than food. You can follow my team. At least no one will dare to rob you."

Qi Yanxuan was afraid that if he didn't take it, the other party would really remember the favor and be restless. He didn't mind taking care of those who knew how to be grateful, so he had no choice but to take one and agreed to let them go together. After all, if they went alone, they might be robbed soon. Anyway, there were so many people following them, so three more wouldn't be too much.

Xu Wenliang was deeply moved when he heard this, and he and his wife bowed to Qi Yanxuan again.

"Thank you, sir (benefactor)!"

"Alright! Go back and rest!"

Qi Yanxuan waved at them. He was still not used to such a sentimental scene.

After meeting Qi Yanxuan, Xu Wenliang took his wife to express his gratitude to Doctor Xu and the village chief's family.

Seeing that the village chief's wife had left dinner for their family, they were deeply moved. They were really lucky. They met good people in desperate situations. How fortunate!

At night, the family of three lay in the shed and felt that the day was like a dream.

First, they encountered soldiers conscripting men, and the crowd fled in all directions. The couple decisively left behind their cumbersome luggage and chose a different route to run from the crowd. As expected, the soldiers did not notice them and chased them to the side where there were more people. Only then were they able to escape into the forest. It was a life-or-death experience!

The next day.

As soon as it was dawn, Shen Yanshan came to the village chief and told him about what he had discussed with Qi Yanxuan last night. The village chief chose Da Kui, You Qing and Wen Xuan to go together.

He also went to notify other people. After all, if they were leaving together, they would be the only ones with food and would be worried about by others. The villagers would also be in danger. It would be better to let them buy food with their own money so that they would not be worried about the people in their own village.

Coming before the crowd, the village chief announced loudly.

"Our village is selecting people to go into the city to buy food. If anyone has food to bring, please come and sign up. The earth bull will turn over soon, and there will be a storm before the earth bull turns over. Then we won't be able to buy food!"

When the crowd heard this, they all started talking. It was natural that they were worried about handing over money to others in troubled times. The people in Kaoshan Village didn't think it was a big deal. They all knew each other, and they had been through hardships together during this period of time, so everyone trusted each other.

The others were still somewhat worried, but when they thought about how everyone in their village was still there, they stopped worrying and went to the village chief to sign up.

"Me! This is my family's ten taels of silver, all for buying food!"

"And me! All my 17 taels of silver are used to buy food!"

"I have 56 taels of silver. I'll buy some salt, and the rest will go into food!"

The village chief asked everyone to send one person from each family to line up, and he kept records with a notebook in his hand.

When it was recorded that Xu Wenliang took out four hundred taels of silver from his chest and handed it to the village chief.

"Village chief, my family needs to buy a carriage, some warm clothes, and salt. The rest will be exchanged for food."

The village chief was a little surprised to see so much silver, but he didn't say anything and quickly recorded it in his notebook.

…

Qi Yanxuan was using cosmetics to put makeup on several people.

An hour later, everyone had finished their makeup. Shen Kui and Shen Yanqing were transformed into two white-haired old men, Youqing into an old woman, Wenxuan and Qi Yanxuan into two girls. Their external identities were that Shen Kui and Youqing were an old couple, Wenxuan was their daughter, and Shen Yanqing and Qi Yanxuan were a father and daughter.

After putting on makeup, everyone changed into clothes and put on wigs.

Shen Yanqing's eyes lit up when he looked at Qi Yanxuan. He was wearing a light blue waist-length skirt and a wide outer robe embroidered with lifelike cranes. His hair was tied into a snake bun. With his phoenix eyes and smooth features, he looked smart yet heroic.

As expected, his Ah Xuan is so beautiful whether in men's or women's clothing.

"Yan Xuan! Can I change my clothes? This is too..."

Wen Xuan changed his clothes and came out, speaking to Qi Yanxuan with an indescribable look on his face.
