As Jiang Yuwei helped Liu Shi carry things downstairs, she said with a smile:

"Tianba isn't a bad person by nature. With his help, you can make more food to take over and sell tomorrow. This way, you can earn more money in the next few days. After these few days, we will leave Ninghe Town."

After hearing Jiang Yuwei's words, Liu nodded repeatedly and said:

"Alright, I'll have Gou Dan and Ning Wan help me make more today, so I don't waste the whole day coming back so early."

Liu put down the wooden bucket in her hand, looked around the yard, and smiled:

"You're suddenly saying you're leaving, and I'm actually a little reluctant to leave this place."

Jiang Yuwei patted Liu's shoulder, glanced towards the house of the skilled healer Zhu and Aunt Lin, and slowly said:

"Well, all good things must come to an end. Okay, you go ahead with your work. I'll go to Aunt Zhou's yard and tell them too."

After saying that, Jiang Yuwei turned and left the yard. As soon as she reached Aunt Zhou's yard, she saw that their gate was wide open. Ning Wu was leading the cow out to feed it grass. When he saw Jiang Yuwei, he hurriedly invited her in.

"Sister Yuwei, you're here! Come in quickly, Mother, Ningqiu! My sister Yuwei is here."

Jiang Yuwei smiled and nodded as she entered the courtyard, whereupon she saw Daya rushing out of the house.

"Sister Yuwei, I hope you weren't hurt last night. We left early this morning and I didn't dare to go see you. I was just worried that you hadn't slept well all night and didn't want to disturb you. I had just changed my clothes and was about to go see you when you came over first."

Jiang Yuwei pulled Da Ya's hand and sat down.

"I'm fine, none of our people are injured."

Ning Daya was relieved after hearing this.

"Sister Yuwei, is there something you need today?"

At this moment, Aunt Zhou also came out of the kitchen.

"Yuwei, have you eaten yet? If not, we'll eat in our courtyard tonight. Ningqiu and I just started cooking. When I heard you were coming, I told Ningqiu to watch the fire and cook by herself."

Jiang Yuwei smiled and said:

"I won't eat. I came here to tell you that we may be heading north in the next few days. Right now, you should set up your stalls or go buy things. Once you've allocated your manpower, we can leave whenever we want."

Aunt Zhou nodded and said:

"Alright, I'll make a list tomorrow and have Ning Qiu and Ning Wu go and buy it. Anyway, I can make mala tang now, so Uncle Cai can help me serve the food."

Tie Zhu also came out of the house at this moment. Seeing that it was Jiang Yuwei, he quickly sat down next to her.

“Sister Yuwei, I sent those two to the government office early this morning. They were both sentenced to a year and are now in jail. They must have conspired together last night because neither of them mentioned Cuiya. They insisted that they planned to steal the things themselves. I did as you said and didn’t mention Cuiya at all.”

Jiang Yuwei nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

“Alright, but they still have a seventy-year-old mother who needs Cuiya to take care of her. If all three of them go in, I'm afraid the old lady won't survive.”

After saying that, Jiang Yuwei stood up, looked at Daya and Tiezhu, and said:

"Now that you're married, one oxcart might not be enough for the journey. You should consider this carefully."

Aunt Zhou smiled and said:

“Yes, I’ve been keeping an eye out at the market these past few days. I’m thinking of getting another oxcart. We have more stuff and more people now, one oxcart definitely won’t be enough. We’ll go and get another one in the next few days.”

Jiang Yuwei nodded.

"Alright, you can decide for yourselves. I'll be leaving now if there's nothing else."

After saying that, Jiang Yuwei returned to the Miraculous Healer's Courtyard.

The days passed quickly. During these days, Liu and Gou Dan were busy setting up a stall to make money, and Aunt Zhou's family also went out early and returned late.

Jiang Yuwei spent the last few days following the skilled physician Zhu closely to learn medical techniques. Ning Wan also followed Jiang Yuwei around, imitating her and memorizing medical principles. Ning Zhao locked herself in her room to read books.

Ning Huaizhi has recovered very well and has started practicing his kung fu again. Although many of his movements are not as smooth as before, Master Zhu said that as long as he keeps practicing, he will be able to return to his previous state.

Jiang Yuwei had prepared the oxcarts early this morning. Aunt Zhou's family currently had two oxcarts. Liu Shi went with Aunt Zhou, Ning Qiu and Ning Daya rode in one oxcart, while Gou Dan went with Ning Wu, Ning Tiezhu, and Ning Youcai rode in the other. The four of them—Tiezhu, Ning Wu, Uncle Youcai, and Gou Dan—took turns driving the two oxcarts.

Jiang Yuwei, along with Ning Zhao, Ning Wan, and Ning Huaizhi, rode in her family's oxcart. The oxcart was meant for Ning Huaizhi, Jiang Yuwei, and Ning Zhao to take turns driving.

After looking at the map Ning Zixuan had left her, Jiang Yuwei figured that it would take at least half a month to travel from Ninghe Town to the capital. So, they would take turns driving the cart, not stopping for too long along the way. The people would rest on the oxcart, and the oxen would only be given some time to eat grass and drink water. They estimated that they could reach the capital in about seven or eight days.

Jiang Yuwei was in such a hurry because she had already encountered all sorts of unpleasant things along the way, and she was afraid that more troubles might arise. She thought it would be better to get to the capital as soon as possible so that she could settle down sooner.

The group led the oxcart to the entrance of Zhu Lane. Skilled Doctor Zhu helped Aunt Lin out to see them off, and Aunt Liu followed behind, wiping away tears.

"Yuwei, you must be careful on your journey. Once you've settled down in the capital, remember to write to me and your master to let us know you're safe. Otherwise, we'll always be worried about you."

Jiang Yuwei smiled and nodded, saying:

"I understand, Master's wife. Don't worry, there are many of us, so we'll be fine on the road. You're not fully recovered yet, so you should go back early and avoid standing in the wind to prevent catching a cold. You and Master can stay home and take good care of yourselves."

The skilled healer Zhu glanced at Jiang Yuwei, her eyes slightly moist.

"Cough cough, the wind and sand are blowing this morning. Look, I even got sand in my eyes. My good disciple, even if you go to the capital, you can't neglect your medical skills. You have to learn and practice a lot to master them. Don't forget what I told you."

Jiang Yuwei, also fighting back tears, nodded and said:

"I understand, Master. You should go back now, don't see me off!"

Aunt Liu also stepped forward and grabbed Aunt Zhou's arm, reluctant to let her go:

"Sister Zhou, I really hate to see you all leave. Now that your whole family is gone, my little courtyard is all cold and quiet again. Sigh, I'm all alone now, and there's no hope for the future!"

Aunt Zhou patted Aunt Liu's hand, feeling a pang of sadness herself.

"Sister Liu, please don't say that. In the future, you should visit the Zhu family more often. It's good to live among neighbors and keep each other warm and friendly. Don't always stay at home alone."
