"My...my younger brother has a fever and needs life-saving medicine!"
Yun Zhourong didn't quite understand, but she did understand the sentence about being able to fulfill her request, so she quickly kowtowed and begged.
"You have a fever, so you need fever-reducing medicine. Are you sick?" Ji Minxiu asked.
"I was injured in the chest by a rock," Yun Zhourong said truthfully.
"Yes, that means you're infected. I understand."
Ji Minxiu nodded, then glanced at the time and said, "After I leave, call me again in ten minutes."
"What is a food bowl...?" Yun Zhourong asked, looking puzzled.
Ji Minxiu then remembered that there was no ten-minute rule here. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Then in a quarter of an hour, use your peace amulet to summon me. I don't know if I can summon you three times in a day. If I don't appear, then try again tomorrow... after midnight."
"But Snow Demon, how can I summon you..." Yun Zhourong hurriedly tried to ask, but found that Ji Minxiu had already disappeared.
With no other option, she could only walk back while trying to recall the two times she had encountered Ji Minxiu.
If I'm not mistaken, the summoning that the Snow Fairy spoke of requires her to make a devout prayer.
Holding the safety buckle in her palm, Yun Zhourong thought to herself, "No matter what, I'll know when the time comes and try it out."
After traveling for a while, estimating that it was about time, she put her hands together and devoutly began to pray.
Soon, she felt a burning sensation on the safety buckle on her chest.
"Whoosh..."
When she opened her eyes again, Ji Minxiu was already standing in front of her.
This time he was wearing the same clothes as when they first met, and he exuded a cool and aloof aura from the inside out.
She didn't dare look any longer and quickly lowered her eyes, saying, "Lord Snow Demon, did you bring the medicine?"
"Um."
Ji Minxiu nodded and handed over the items. "There are antipyretics, liniment for sprains and bruises, antibiotics, and items for cleaning wounds. I have written down the specific usage instructions. Just follow them."
Although she found the medicines strange, Yun Zhourong didn't ask any further questions. She simply expressed her gratitude, saying, "Thank you so much, Lady Snow Demon. I will forever remember your great kindness!"
"There's no need for such formalities between us. After all, you saved my life. You can call me if you need anything."
Ji Minxiu said, "I will do my best to help you as much as I can."
"I...I saved you?" Yun Zhourong was completely stunned.
“Yes, when you summoned me last time, you inadvertently helped me avoid an assassination attempt,” Ji Minxiu said.
"Even the Snow Demon, who is so powerful, could be injured..."
Yun Zhourong murmured a few words in shock, then shook his head and said, "If that's the case, then I'm even with Lord Snow Demon, since you rescued me from the bandits back then."
"I didn't expect that..."
Yun Zhourong's openness made Ji Minxiu less wary of her, and his tone became gentler, "However, your lotus bowl has been a great help to me, so consider it an exchange. You can come to me if you need anything in the future."
"Ah... that unremarkable bowl?" Yun Zhourong was quite surprised. Just as she was about to ask something else, Ji Minxiu disappeared again.
"That Snow Demon really doesn't even say goodbye when she comes and goes..."
However, Yun Zhourong was so eager to save people that she didn't think much of it and hurriedly ran towards the cowshed.
"Ruanruan, you're back!"
Upon seeing her, everyone looked at her anxiously. "Xiao Yuan's fever hasn't subsided, and her breathing has become rapid; it seems to be getting worse..."
"I brought the medicine back. Xiao Yuan will be fine." Yun Zhourong quickly took out the instruction manual and then fed Yun Mingyuan the medicine and treated his wound.
Afterwards, they used physical methods to cool him down, with several adults taking turns wiping his neck, armpits, and other skin folds.
"The fever has gone down... Xiao Yuan's fever has gone down!"
After an unknown amount of time, Yun Mingyuan's condition finally stabilized, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Yun Mingyuan also woke up, and mumbled groggily, "Mother... I'm hungry..."
Hearing this, Zhao felt a pang of sadness, but could only choke back tears as she comforted him, "Xiao Yuan, go to sleep, you won't be hungry if you sleep..."
It wasn't that she didn't care about the children, but that they really had nothing to eat right now.
"Xiao Yuan, you go to sleep for a while. I'll go cook. You can eat when you wake up."
At this moment, Yun Zhourong patted Yun Mingyuan's head, then stood up and said, "The benefactor gave me a gold leaf, and I used it to exchange for some grain."
After saying that, he hurriedly went out.
As a result, when they arrived at the post station, they raised the price on the spot, and a two-cent gold paper was given for only half a liter of millet.
She was furious but helpless; it was late at night and there was nowhere to buy it.
"Great, there's rice." Upon seeing this, Zhao quickly went to cook.
Half a liter of millet was used, and only a quarter of it was cooked. Even so, it was more than enough for the hungry group.
After eating his fill, Yun Mingyuan fell into a deep sleep, while Yun Zhourong had trouble sleeping.
Now that he had calmed down, Ji Minxiu's handsome face flashed into his mind. He tightened his grip on the safety buckle, feeling a sense of security he had never felt before.
Hmm, I'll buy some incense, candles, and paper money tomorrow to offer to Lord Snow Demon. I hope he'll like it.
I wonder what kind of fragrance Lord Snow Fairy likes...
But it's so cold today!
She couldn't help but curl her body up even tighter, but the constant draft still made her shiver.
Just then, she saw Old Madam Yun sit up and shakily pick up firewood to start a fire.
"Grandmother, what's wrong?" Yun Zhourong also got up.
"It's too cold, I can't sleep."
Madam Yun sighed, "Ruan Ruan, you've suffered so much following us. If you had stayed with the eldest son's family, at least you wouldn't have to endure the cold."
Yun Zhourong shook her head and said, "Grandmother, they don't care whether I live or die, so how could they care if I'm cold? I can only survive if I stay with you."
At this point, Yun Zhourong suddenly thought of Ji Minxiu.
Perhaps we could ask him for help and have him send some warm clothing and food.
So she immediately got up and, under the pretext of needing to relieve herself, ran to a secluded place to pray expectantly.
But there was no response.
"That's right, the Snow Fairy said there are limitations to summoning. So it seems that I can only summon three times a day." Yun Zhourong quickly understood and could only return somewhat disappointed.
It seems I'll have to wait until midnight to try again.
Well, she'll have to think about what she should ask the Snow Demon for if the summoning is successful.
Yun Zhourong was lost in thought when she fell asleep without realizing it, only to be awakened by the sound of the night watchman's drum.
It turned out to be exactly midnight.
Seeing that no one was around, she quickly hid in a secluded spot and summoned, "Lord Snow Demon, please come out and meet me."
Meanwhile, Ji Minxiu was also reviewing the history of the Dasheng Dynasty.
