When they went to sleep at night, Shen Xinglan would always hold Mu Wanting in his arms.
Mu Wanting is sometimes lucid, and when she notices Shen Xinglan approaching, she will move to the inside of the bed.
Shen Xinglan assumed she was just shy, and his smile deepened, carrying a sweetness he himself didn't realize.
In her spare time, Mu Wanting would cut down trees to make crutches for him.
Shen Xinglan looked at it from the stroller, feeling a pang of heartache.
"You've never suffered like this before we married, have you?"
Mu Wanting paused for a moment, then nodded.
A look of tenderness flashed in Shen Xinglan's eyes as she said to Mu Wanting, "I'll do it."
Mu Wanting shook her head: "You are in a critical period of recovery right now, so don't let a small thing ruin your chances."
"I still have the same words and only one request: help me find my mother."
Shen Xinglan nodded emphatically.
But I couldn't help feeling a little sad.
He wondered what Mu Wanting, who had pursued him before, would want.
She would probably ask him to treat her well, or ask him to give her a gift.
But now, all she wants is for him to find his mother; she doesn't want anything else.
Does she have absolutely no demands of him or their marriage?
Mu Wanting made the armpit crutches, and after Shen Xinglan tried them on and adjusted them several times, they finally fit properly.
A faint smile returned to Shen Xinglan's face.
In less than a month, Shen Xinglan's wounds had healed. Mu Wanting did not let him get out of bed and walked around. Instead, she customized a rehabilitation plan for him.
Shen Xinglan regained feeling in her legs, but she couldn't move them freely and initially needed Mu Wanting's help.
After several days of rehabilitation, his leg strength improved, and he could move more freely, so he no longer needed Mu Wanting's help.
In subsequent training sessions, Shen Xinglan always exceeded the target. Mu Wanting would stop him when he reached his physical limit, and Shen Xinglan would listen to her advice.
When it was almost time, Mu Wanting said, "Try getting up and walking a few steps."
Shen Xinglan's legs are still not flexible, so Mu Wanting helped him up and supported him as he walked.
As soon as he got out of bed, his legs went weak, and he stumbled forward, catching Mu Wanting in his arms. He only managed to stand firmly when he grabbed the wall for support.
His heart was pounding uncontrollably again, and he was too embarrassed to even look at Mu Wanting.
Mu Wanting blushed as Shen Xinglan hugged her.
She handed the pair of armpit crutches to Shen Xinglan.
"Try walking around and see."
Shen Xinglan readily agreed, and with the help of Mu Wanting and crutches, she was able to walk normally within a few days, although her leg strength was still very weak.
They stayed in the cave for a full month. When they left, Shen Xinglan looked back at the cave, where many of their memories were.
Here, Mu Wanting helped him walk again and again, showing him how to exert force correctly.
Every time he fell, it was Mu Wanting who helped him up and patiently encouraged him.
They spent a month there, eating and living together, and Mu Wanting woke up in his arms many mornings.
He was actually a little reluctant to leave.
Looking at Mu Wanting again, she had already packed her luggage, handed him the armpit crutches, and didn't even glance back at the cave.
"If you get tired from walking, just lie down in the stroller and I'll push you. Don't push yourself."
Shen Xinglan didn't stand on ceremony and nodded. Once she recovered, she would treat Mu Wanting well.
While they were in the cave, they had already planned their route. Once they reached the town, they would buy a carriage and follow the route to catch up with the exiled caravan.
Otherwise, if the two were to reappear in public later, they would be considered fugitives. The road to exile isn't particularly arduous, so it's really not worth it.
Of course, before that, the subordinates who need to be contacted should be contacted.
They are currently still within Jinzhou territory, and all they hear is news about Jinzhou.
Much of the farmland in Jinzhou was destroyed, but there were few casualties.
Thanks to Mu Wanting's advance warning, coupled with the tough measures of Magistrate Qian and Ding Shiming, the people were forced to move to higher ground, and they took all their money with them.
Therefore, the loss was not that great.
Now, a month has passed, and we are in the post-disaster reconstruction phase.
Having learned from previous experiences, Magistrate Qian chose a high-lying location and instructed the people to build their houses there.
In this way, even if there are floods again, the people's property and lives can be protected to the greatest extent.
Now, wherever you walk down the street, you can hear people praising Magistrate Qian and Ding Shiming.
As he spoke, he bowed to the sky.
"I heard that a deity came down to deliver a message, unable to bear seeing the people of Jinzhou suffer like this."
Mu Wanting couldn't help but laugh; these people were spreading increasingly outrageous rumors.
"A master?"
Ding Shiming's voice came from behind her. Mu Wanting was startled. She had dressed as a man for the sake of convenience and had been recognized.
She slowly turned around.
"Lord Qian, come quickly! It's that expert!"
Shen Xinglan raised an eyebrow at Mu Wanting, her eyes filled with inquiry and doubt.
A master?
Mu Wanting?
The news I heard along the way was that a wise man had notified Magistrate Qian the day before the flood.
But at that time, Mu Wanting was in the exile procession.
Magistrate Qian happily ran towards Mu Wanting's direction, and when he saw that it was Mu Wanting, his big fat hand excitedly grasped Mu Wanting's hand.
"Master, we've finally found you! Because of your advance warning, many lives have been saved, so our county government has decided to commend you."
Shen Xinglan's gaze fell on Magistrate Qian's large hands, her face turning ashen.
