Seeing Chunjiao still standing there in a daze, Aunt Chen, who had been grieving for a long time, thought Wan Hesu was dead, said to her, "Don't worry about what happened. Just do whatever you are told."
Although she didn't understand why Shen Yu said that, she saw that Wan Xueying didn't object, so she knew there must be nothing wrong with the order.
After returning to report after the spring break, Aunt Chen led her men away, leaving the space to Wan Xueying and Shen Yu.
When there were no outsiders around, Shen Yu finally said to Wan Xueying, "You refused to help Wan Hesu because he's a member of the Wan family. But if he wasn't a member of the Wan family, and was someone who could be useful to you and me in the future, would you still watch him die without helping?"
Wan Xueying fell into deep thought after hearing this. It was undeniable that the main reason she disliked Wan Hesu wasn't because of him as a person, but because he was a member of the Wan family.
Shen Yu then added: "You were right not to save people just now. If people knew that you have the ability to save people, it would only bring you more trouble." Others don't know Wan Xueying's ability, but as someone who was saved by her personally, no one has more say than him.
Wan Xueying raised her head and looked at him, "This has something to do with your decision that Wan Hesu must be dead, right?"
"Yes," Shen Yu nodded, undeniably saying, "I do have selfish motives. I don't want others to know you have the ability to bring the dead back to life. That wouldn't be a blessing for a girl." He continued, "The main reason I made Wan Hesu a dead man is because only in this way can he escape his guilt, completely sever ties with the Wan family, and truly be of use to you and me."
There was another reason he didn't mention. He didn't know Wan Xueying's adoptive parents well enough, and he worried that, young and uninformed, she might mistakenly believe they were all good to her. He worried that after experiencing so much pain and learning to judge people, she might discover they weren't what she thought, and that would hurt her even more.
If Wan Hesu was still alive and was saved by her, and the young lady from the Lin family was also saved by Wan Xueying, then the two of them would definitely treat Wan Xueying better than others in the future. At least these two people didn't have any bad intentions.
"So you want him to fake his death? And then give him a new identity?" Wan Xueying had just made this guess, so she didn't stop Qiu Shi and Shunzi and the others from setting a trap.
"Yes, this is the best time to fake death. But the prerequisite is that this person can be saved."
"That's right." She hadn't even visited Wan Hesu, so she didn't know how badly he was injured. If he was as badly injured as Shen Yu, she wouldn't be able to help. The Tree of Life couldn't handle the large-scale plucking of leaves anymore, and Wan Hesu wasn't worth her effort.
"Do you mean you agree to save people?" This result was not unexpected to Shen Yu.
Wan Xueying is a very simple person. She is the kind of person who treats others better if they treat her well. Shen Yu only helped Wan Xueying during the divorce and the subsequent confiscation of the Wan family's property. She has been able to take care of Shen Yu from time to time along the way and even tried her best to save him at the critical moment.
Compared to the rest of the Wan family, Wan Hesu had only given her a handy dagger and advised her to return to her adoptive parents and not get involved in the Wan family's affairs. She had always helped whenever she could. Now that it was a matter of life and death for Wan Hesu, she couldn't help, but if she did, she would feel resentful.
So she said, "If he can really be saved, it depends on what choice he makes." If Wan Hesu still chooses the Wan family, then I'm sorry, even if she can save him, she won't do it.
There is no doubt that Wan Hesu and Lin Yingnan, who had suffered so much harm, were both very determined to sever ties with the Wan family.
Wan Xueying did not openly help Wan Hesu with his treatment, but instead made a lot of cover-ups, so that Shunzi and others could send the unconscious Wan Hesu to one of their mule carts.
When Wan Xueying checked Wan Hesu's injuries, she understood why this man had not died yet, and she once again doubted Pei Xuanqing's archery skills.
That's it...
She shook her head, but scared Lin Yingnan.
"Xueying, Brother Hesu will be okay, right?" God wouldn't be so cruel as to give her hope and then take it away, right?
"I don't know if he's okay or not, but I really can't cure his injury." Wan Xueying was just telling the truth.
"Aren't you a very skilled doctor? Why can't you cure him?" Lin Yingnan was afraid that Wan Xueying deliberately refused to treat Wan Hesu.
"I've said it so many times, I really don't know how to treat a disease." Not to mention any medical prowess. She knew no matter how much she explained, it was useless, and she didn't want to explain. Too many people had doubted her only training in medicine. After a moment's thought, she said, "This injury probably needs someone with military experience to heal it."
"Who should I ask for help? I'll go and ask that person for help." No matter what, Lin Yingnan is really deeply in love with Wan Hesu.
"Just stay in the car and look after him. Shen Yu has to do this." Since she has chosen to help, Wan Xueying will not give up halfway.
When she got off the mule cart, Shen Yu approached her and asked, "How is it? Can anyone be saved?"
"It can be saved, but I need to find someone who can pull out arrows. I guess he has to have been in the army." The reason why she said she couldn't cure it was because she had never pulled out an arrow before, and she probably didn't have enough strength. If she didn't handle it properly, the aorta would be injured and it would cost Wan Hesu's life.
"Then..." Shen Yu hesitated for a moment, "I'll go find Pei Xuanqing." The man was good at archery and had served in the army. He should know how to treat arrow wounds better than others.
"If you go looking for him, won't you be walking into a trap?" Then what was the point of all the cover-ups they had done before?
"Pei Xuanqing will have to know about this sooner or later. Besides that, he has to help find a new identity for Wan Huqing."
Too many people in the Dark Forest Guards use fake identities, and no one is better at this than Pei Xuanqing. Otherwise, Pei Xuanqing would not have asked Shen Yu to hide his real name and helped him get a new identity.
"Okay." Wan Xueying nodded. Hiding it would be even worse if it was discovered.
Pei Xuanqing came quite quickly after hearing that Wan Huqing was not dead. He wanted to see why he failed again.
When he saw that the arrow he shot pierced Wan Huqing's chest, but the injury was on the right chest, he carefully reviewed the situation.
His overconfidence had led him to overlook a problem: the arrow was originally aimed at Wan Huqing, and Wan Huqing subconsciously pulled Wan Hesu to block the arrow for him, which would have deflected the arrow's aim. Furthermore, there was a height difference between the two, with Wan Huqing slightly taller than Wan Hesu, so the arrow would have been slightly more accurate.
Sure! The person he originally wanted to kill wasn't Wan Hesu, so it was lucky that he hadn't died yet.
Because Pei Xuanqing practiced archery for many years, he specially learned how to treat arrow wounds and also helped the Dark Forest Guards to pull out arrows several times.
This time, he first used a dagger that could cut through iron like mud to chop off the tip of the arrow that was sticking out of Wan Hesu's chest, and then used a little skill and strength to pull the arrow out at the fastest speed.
The moment he pulled out the arrow, Shen Yu sprinkled the wound medicine Pei Xuanqing had given him on the front and back of the arrow holes to stop the bleeding. The two of them worked together quite well, and Wan Hesu was a man of character, holding on until the end without using Ma Fei San before fainting again.
"Okay, I guess this guy won't die." After doing all this, Pei Xuanqing felt quite accomplished.
"You have to be a good person and give him a new identity." Shen Yu took the opportunity to make a new request.
"Aren't you going a bit too far?" Pei Xuanqing raised his eyebrows.
"It's not a difficult task for you. It's just a piece of cake."
"Do you think this person is useful? Or are you taking so much trouble just because of Miss Wan?" Pei Xuanqing asked.
"First of all, it must be because he is useful, and secondly, because of his relationship with Xueying, I asked you for help." Compared to Wan Xueying's guards, Wan Hesu's kung fu is definitely better. This is also one of the reasons why Shen Yu persuaded Wan Xueying to save Wan Hesu.
"Well, I happen to have two household registrations and travel permits. One of the people in them looks a bit like him, so I can give them to him."
"Thank you so much. By the way," Shen Yu asked casually after thanking him, "How many people did you bring to Northern Xinjiang this time?"
"Not counting my personal servants and guards, I also brought fifty Yulin Guards." Actually, they were the Dark Forest Guards, to facilitate the transmission of messages between him and Lian Zong, and to deal with some troublesome individuals in the northern border. "Why are you asking this?" He turned to Shen Yu.
"I just want to go to the Northern Frontier with you." In fact, he also wanted to find out about Pei Xuanqing's strength.
"You're really good. If I didn't bring so many people with me, you wouldn't be going with me, right?"
"No matter how many people you bring, I want to go with you." If for no other reason, there is safety in numbers!
"Don't give me that! I think you guys are traveling too slowly with your horse-drawn carriages and mule-drawn carts." He meant that he didn't want to take Shen Yu and the others with him.
"Then we'll just have to go on our own."
"I do have other official business to attend to, so I have to arrive in Northern Xinjiang early." This time, Pei Xuanqing's expression was serious, unlike his joking tone earlier. The reason he stayed here so long was because the road ahead was blocked by rolling logs and rocks, and they were currently being cleared. This gave him the opportunity to help rescue Wan Hesu.
"Then we'll see you in the Northern Frontier."
"Okay, see you in the Northern Frontier."
Because Shen Yu regained his freedom and Wan Hesu also had a new identity, they decided to separate from the exile team and set off ahead.
Wan Xueying then asked Qiu Shi to take back all the mule carts they had rented out. Because they had previously agreed to rent by the day and that they could take them back at any time, it was easy to do so.
Before leaving, Wan Xueying asked Gu Ming and his mother whether they wanted to go with them or follow the exile team.
Gu Ming decided without hesitation to join them and to settle in Ningjiang County with them.
He was very smart and did not aim too high. Although Shen Yu's official position was not high, he knew that it was enough to provide a support for him, a man with no foundation.
In this way, Wan Xueying and her companions, along with Gu Ming and his mother, as well as Wan Hesu and Lin Yingnan, the master and servant, completely separated from the exile team and set out on their own journey to the northern border.
