Chapter 574: Does the Xie family have any magical medicine?
It was past noon and the fighting was still going on.
In the distant sky, signals are frequent and communications are continuous.
Chu Feijian led a team of less than a hundred people and traveled cautiously wherever they could. If everyone hadn't been exhausted after a whole day and night and it was really hard to maintain their strength, he really wanted to continue all the way and get away from the war in the rear as soon as possible.
The fugitives he led to escort were all of questionable physical condition. Even though there were a few among them who knew all the kung fu, the majority were still physically exhausted.
After a short rest, we set off immediately.
If he delayed for one more stick of incense, there would be danger for one stick of incense. Chu Feijian did not dare to take this risk.
After all this trouble, the women of the Xie family became the backbone of many women in the team. They would always secretly look at the women of the Xie family while taking action and unconsciously imitate them.
Everyone cherishes the few remaining things that can replenish their physical strength.
Even the people from the Xie family seemed to be very patient. Without asking too much, they knew that even from the hands of the Xie family, they would probably just have to eat a little bit less.
To survive, travel light.
At the moment, the escort officers who were ordered to escort the people had no intention of resting again. The sweets and other things that the Xie family had distributed to everyone really became a comfort for everyone along the way.
The journey was dusty and not all smooth sailing.
Although no serious consequences occurred after abandoning the heavy carriages and bags, many people in the team were still sick and slowed down their pace due to the long journey and the cold wind.
Some people cannot bear the physical discomfort and hug themselves tightly to keep warm, but it is just a drop in the bucket.
Chu Feijian and others soon discovered that someone had fallen behind in the team. They frowned and took people to the back to find out what happened.
There were only a few of them to begin with, and if they couldn't even hold on for this short journey, and if the robbers suddenly attacked, Chu Feijian doubted whether these fugitives would be able to reach Laozhou alive.
Xie Zhen took the backpack that had fallen on his arm, weighed it twice, and silently turned around to see what the bailiff Chu Feijian was doing behind him.
Seeing her looking back frequently, Mrs. Xie couldn't help but look back curiously.
"What are you looking at, kid?"
Xie Zhen heard his grandmother speak and turned back to report: "Grandma, Zhen'er is looking at the Zhao family's wife in the back."
"Oh? Which Zhao family lady?"
There are more men than women in this team. Apart from the Xie family, there are more than ten fugitives with the surname Zhao.
Each of them has its own family, unlike the Xie family where both inside and outside are gathered together.
There seemed to be several ladies with the surname Zhao, so she asked this question.
Old Madam Xie didn't know which lady from the Zhao family her granddaughter Xie Zhen was watching.
Xie Zhen said as he walked, "Grandma, she was the one who helped my mother mend clothes before."
Madam Xie pondered for a moment and asked, "Is it the one whose embroidery skills were praised by even your mother?"
"Yes, she--" Xie Zhen just responded when he heard a sudden noise behind him. He couldn't help but turn around and saw many people looking back, as if something unexpected had suddenly happened behind him.
"What happened back there?"
There were family members around him asking about something, and Xie Zhen wasn't too sure either. He said, "I'll go take a look," and handed the backpack over to his family. He casually drew out his weapons and the anti-wolf spray given by the family god, pushed aside the other fugitives, and walked quickly back.
Suddenly, there were footsteps behind me.
"Thank you, Miss. I will go with you to take a look."
Xie Zhen turned around and saw that it was the old Hanlin Zhang Dayi. Mr. Zhang came over and asked in surprise, "Why are you here? I don't know what happened back there. I can't predict whether he's safe or not. Why don't I go take a look first and then come back to tell you."
Zhang Dayi's expression was slightly serious. He waved his hand and shook his head, saying, "It is precisely because of the unpredictable situation that I will go with you."
Xie Zhen was smart and understood the worry in Zhang Dayi's tone, so he nodded and did not refuse. The two of them walked back together under the nervous and curious gazes of the others.
Soon, before the two of them even reached the place, they heard other people talking.
It turned out that a few people were too tired to walk and fell on the road.
There was a lot of noise at the back.
When Xie Zhen and Zhang Dayi arrived next to Chu Feijian, they really saw two or three people fainted on the ground. There were also many exhausted fugitives sitting on the ground with sweat on their foreheads, breathing heavily.
Along the way, everyone was so nervous that they didn't know how far they had walked. Even though there were no large groups of robbers chasing them, they would still be frightened from time to time by encountering some scattered bandits or strangers on the road.
As long as one person falls down, it will spread to a large area like a cold.
I was still able to grit my teeth and move forward, but when I saw someone lying on the ground, not breathing, it was as if all my strength had been drained away.
I don't know why, but my waist went weak and I couldn't walk anymore.
Chu Feijian rode over quickly and dispersed the onlookers. He quickly grabbed a handful of ice and snow from the ground and smeared it on the cheeks and necks of several people who had fainted.
The person has no breath left and it is unknown whether he is alive or dead. This sudden stimulation is just a last-ditch effort.
It would be better if he could be stimulated to wake up all at once.
If three of them died at once, Chu Feijian would feel extremely anxious and worried.
The fugitive did not die at the hands of the robbers, but died on the way to be escorted by him.
When Chu Feijian was under increasing pressure, he happened to see people from the Xie family coming over.
Chu Feijian was in a hurry and didn't think too much. He asked urgently, "Ms. Xie, do you have the elixir that the Xie family god gave to bring back the dead?"
As soon as Xie Zhen stopped, he heard Chu Feijian's words and was stunned.
Zhang Dayi, who was standing beside him, immediately chimed in, "Life and death are determined by fate. How can you possibly rob someone of their life with a magical medicine?"
As he said this, he took the lead to go forward and check on the unconscious people. Judging from their faces, they did not look good at all.
Zhang Dayi stood up and looked at Xie Zhen, shaking his head slightly, fearing that it would be difficult.
When the situation became critical, Xie Zhen suddenly frowned.
She seemed to remember something, and hurriedly lowered her head to take out her sachet, and carefully took out a small oil-paper bag from it.
It attracted a lot of attention. Even Chu Feijian, who was half-squatting beside the unconscious prisoner, stood up unconsciously and stared at the small paper bag in Xie Zhen's hand.
As Xie Zhen opened the paper package, Chu Feijian, who was close to her, and Zhang Dayi, who had returned to her side, could see clearly that there was a delicate and small glass bottle in the paper package, and there seemed to be a few black pills in it.
It's just that the pill is too small.
With rescue imminent, Xie Zhen had no time to explain. She followed the instructions given to her by her sixth brother Xie Yuchuan before he left, opened the bottle, poured out three pills, and gave them to Chu Feijian.
"Master Chu, let's give it a try."
