Xiao Ruyu's cheeks turned red and she kept asking Doctor Yang to shut up.

[Eleven even gave up his life for me, so I have to be nicer to him.]

She put her hands on her hips with a righteous look on her face and ruthlessly drove Doctor Yang out.

[Master, you have also finished bandaging, please catch the car as soon as possible.]

Xiao Ruyu stared at him without blinking, urging him to leave quickly.

Doctor Yang wanted to say something but she pushed and shoved him out of the carriage.

"You little brat."

He shook his head repeatedly, unable to do anything about this precious disciple.

The carriage was moving smoothly, and after changing a road, Doctor Yang was completely unfamiliar with this road.

After walking for another three or four hours, his voice came from outside the curtain.

"Little princess, I'm afraid we'll have to sleep on the streets tonight."

Xiao Ruyu quickly opened the curtain and looked, and was dumbfounded.

All I saw was an extremely desolate scene in front of me, with yellow sand and desert swaying in the wind, not to mention the shadow of the inn.

There was not even a house to be seen anywhere!

[Master, where in the wild mountains and hills have we gone? ]

Xiao Ruyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and was puzzled by the scene in front of her.

Doctor Yang took out the map and examined it carefully.

"This road is indeed correct. We changed the route. First we have to pass through this desert, then a forest, then cross a mountain, and then..."

【Okay, okay.】

Xiao Ruyu interrupted him and her face fell.

[The biggest problem now is that we need to find a place to stay.]

A gust of yellow sand blew over and blinded her eyes, and she quickly retreated back into the carriage.

[We can't stay here tonight! ]

Doctor Yang immediately quickened his horse's pace, trying to reach the next woods before dark.

There was only a hint of dusk in the sky, and the moonlight gradually climbed up the branches.

The carriage stopped outside the woods. Xiao Ruyu jumped off and looked around.

This forest is extremely dense, with towering trees everywhere.

The shadows of the trees reaching high into the clouds completely blocked out the sunlight and moonlight, and the forest looked extremely dark at a glance.

Xiao Ruyu wrapped her coat tightly and rubbed her hands.

[Are we really going to stay here tonight? ]

[Why do I always feel that there are countless beasts in there. ]

Doctor Yang cleared his throat and began to explain.

"This is the Ai Yao Mountain, which stretches for several kilometers."

"Little princess, you are worrying too much. There are not only wild beasts in there, but also countless tigers, wolves, jackals, leopards, poisonous snakes and ferocious beasts..."

[Master, please stop talking. I don’t want to go in. ]

Xiao Ruyu covered her ears and didn't want to listen any further.

Doctor Yang laughed and tapped her head, "Master, you are lying. This is just an ordinary forest."

"It's just that it's getting dark now, so we can just rest outside the woods for now."

While the two were discussing, a dark shadow approached from behind.

Xiao Ruyu had extremely sensitive ears and turned her head to look.

"Who is it, who is there?!"

A woodcutter dressed in coarse cloth, with a large bundle of firewood tied on his back, started staring at Xiao Ruyu.

"Ah? Me?"

"My name is Wang Dazhu."

A line of black lines appeared on Xiao Ruyu's head and she kept muttering to herself.

[How could there be someone in this desolate mountain? ]

Doctor Yang bowed politely, his eyes fixed on the firewood on his back.

"Excuse me, brother. We are lost. Do you know where the nearest inn is?"

Wang Dazhu scratched his head and thought for a while.

"There are no inns nearby. You have nowhere to stay tonight, so why don't you stay at my house?"

“How can this be possible?”

Doctor Yang was embarrassed for a moment and looked at Wang Dazhu warily.

"Oh, it's okay. My house is the only one within a ten-mile radius. If you go to someone else's house, you'll have to walk for another day."

Xiao Ruyu was concerned about Eleven's injury. He needed to rest well so that he could recover better.

[Master, I think this person is trustworthy. Why don't we stay at his house for one night?]

Doctor Yang pulled her over, shook his head gently, and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"In the wilderness, don't you think this person is suspicious, little princess?"

[We have been walking for a day and a night. Eleven's wound is getting worse. We should take a good rest.]

Xiao Ruyu reluctantly pulled down his sleeve, her lips pouted.

She ignored Doctor Yang's objection and went there with Eleven to stay.

"Thank you very much for your help." Doctor Yang saw that he couldn't persuade her, so he had to follow her.

Wang Dazhu was extremely enthusiastic and led the way for several people.

"I have lived here for a long time. This forest is extremely remote. How did you find this place?"

He lifted the firewood on his back and looked proud.

"I have to come to this forest to collect firewood every day. I came a little late today. On other days, I should have gone back long ago."

Doctor Yang looked around and it seemed that he was leading everyone along a small path.

After walking around for a while, a simple thatched hut appeared in front of everyone.

Wang Dazhu put the firewood in the yard and shouted towards the house.

"Guests are coming. Prepare a few more dishes today."

A woman came out of the house, wiping her hands and complaining.

"Why did you come back so late today? The food is almost cold."

When she saw Xiao Ruyu and the other two, she was stunned at first, and then she came forward to greet them warmly.

"Where did this guest come from? It's windy outside, come in and sit down."

The woman welcomed the three men into the house. She noticed that their clothes were not those of ordinary people and rubbed her hands uncomfortably.

"Please sit down for a while. I'll get you some water."

Wang Dazhu was shouting outside.

"I'll light some more firewood and cook more rice."

Xiao Ruyu was somewhat moved by the two people's enthusiasm, and she looked around the house.

Although the furnishings were simple, the woman kept them in order.

Her eyes fell on the clothes hanging on the head of the bed, and her pupils gradually tightened.

Wang Dazhu was extremely thin, and the clothes for adult men hanging on the head of the bed were indeed very loose and bulky.

Not only that, Wang Dazhu is not necessarily the kind of person who would wear such bright clothes.

Could it be that there is another man in this room? !

Xiao Ruyu became alert instantly and gave Doctor Yang a look.

[Master, please look at those clothes.]

Doctor Yang understood what she was thinking and sat up from his chair.

"Ouch, what happened?"

The woman was startled. Noticing that both men's eyes were on the clothes at the head of the bed, she spoke in confusion.

"What's wrong with this dress?" She walked forward and touched it, but found nothing unusual.

"These clothes belong to my son."

The woman sighed and touched her clothes in a daze.

Xiao Ruyu came forward and asked curiously.

"So where is your son?"

These words seemed to bring back the woman's sad memories. She clutched her clothes and fell into bed, feeling depressed.

"My son went to Miaojiang to work on defense repairs. I haven't heard from him for nearly three months."
