Lin Yinan stepped forward and helped her up. Seeing the abrasions on her knees, he took the load from her and carried it himself.

The woman, who had also taken shelter from the rain under the tree, turned pale with fright and tried to snatch back the load with trembling hands.

Lin Yinan shoved her, "Stop talking nonsense and let's go!"

The woman wiped her face, then stumbled forward, dragging Lin Yinan's half-full sack along.

Not far from Longtan, the majestic city wall came into view.

Lin Yinan carried the load on his shoulder, while also looking after Yunmu and Li Shulan behind him, making it extremely difficult for him to walk on the slippery, muddy road.

At that moment, a figure rushed towards the crowd from the city gate like a whirlwind.

Upon seeing Aunt Li and the others, he asked, "Auntie, where's Anan?"

Aunt Li, panting, pointed behind her and shouted, "Hurry up! It's behind us."

The torrential rain obscured her vision, and Lin Yinan only saw a figure flash before her eyes, followed by Yun Mo's magnified face.

Why are you here?

Yun Mo forcefully took the load from her shoulders, saying, "Give it to me, you go help your mother and the others."

Seeing that he hadn't even put on his oilcloth before running out, Lin Yinan couldn't help but worry about his leg injury.

Without arguing with him, she obediently went to the back to take the sacks from Li Shulan and Yunmu, and hoisted them onto her shoulder.

Back at the city wall, everyone gathered inside the city gate to take shelter from the rain and refused to leave.

Worried about the children at home and Yun Mo's leg injury, Lin Yinan put down her things, and the two used their light-footed skills to return to the county government office.

Lin Yi'an, Lu Changqing, and several children, including Yun Fangyi and Lin Zhiyan, were seen around the bed, coaxing Yun Shijiu, who had already woken up.

Lin Yinan breathed a sigh of relief, then pulled up Yun Mo's pants to check the wound on his leg.

"Let me see your injury."

"Go wash up and change your clothes first, so you don't catch a cold."
