"yes."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded solemnly.
They were naturally aware of the situation in Juzhou.
There has been a saying since ancient times that "no post station is more dangerous and difficult than Juzhou", mainly because the area is mostly mountains and swamps, with towering peaks and deep valleys everywhere.
Moreover, the terrain is extremely complex, and wild animals roam freely, making it exceptionally dangerous.
Especially the section of post road we are going to walk today, which is mostly winding paths, rugged and steep, and one wrong step could lead to falling into a cliff and abyss.
This is why the constables said that.
Upon hearing this, Yun Mingxuan glanced at Yun Zhourong, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
Soon, the group officially set off.
Sure enough, this stretch of road was very difficult to walk, mainly because it involved climbing mountains, which was very tiring.
In addition, many roads were broken and had not been repaired. With the roads slippery due to snow, the second branch and the constables had snow boots given to them by Ji Minxiu, making it relatively easier for them to walk. However, the people from the first branch could hardly move an inch.
We waited for them the whole way, and walked very slowly.
Even so, the eldest son's family still suffered terribly on the journey, but they dared not stop, because the constables' whips would not be spared just because the road was difficult.
Especially now that we are traversing through the forest, if we cannot get out before dark, it will be very dangerous when wild animals come out.
Although the eldest son's family longed to rest, they had no choice but to grit their teeth and persevere under the whip of the constables.
"Ouch..."
Yun Mingxuan was walking when he suddenly tripped and fell to the ground.
"What are you doing? Get up right now!"
Hearing the commotion behind him, the constable turned around impatiently and scolded him.
"I...I'll get up right away...Ah...a dead person...a dead person!"
Yun Mingxuan was just about to get up when he subconsciously looked to see what had tripped him up. He then saw a person leaning against a tree trunk with their eyes closed, covered in blood.
He screamed in fright and kept backing away.
"What dead person?"
Upon hearing this, the constables and the second branch of the family quickly went over to investigate.
The man's face was covered in stubble and his hair was disheveled, making it impossible to discern his features or age. However, the bloodstains on his body indicated that he had been seriously injured.
The squad leader stepped forward to examine the man for a while, then frowned after probing under his nose.
"He's already dead, his body is covered in knife wounds, he was probably murdered."
"Is it out of breath?"
Yun Zhourong thought for a moment, then stepped forward and touched the man's neck. She immediately exclaimed with delight, "He still has a pulse! He can be saved!"
"Save him? Didn't you hear he was murdered?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Mingzhu said with a mocking expression, "You're being kind, but what if this person is a thug?"
"With so many of us, and all the officers here, what are you afraid of?"
After Yun Zhourong finished speaking, she ignored her and said to Yun Hongshen, "Father, please help me!"
"Okay." Yun Hongshen agreed without saying a word.
Yun Zhourong performed CPR, while Yun Hongshen performed artificial respiration.
"Officer, look at this! It's utterly indecent!" Yun Mingzhu was ignored and glared angrily at the officer.
The constable frowned, but quickly turned to Yun Mingzhu and said coldly, "We're sisters, yet Doctor Yun is so kind; you're quite ruthless and heartless."
Yun Zhourong could have taken all of the 120 taels of reward money the magistrate had given her, but she gave them 100 taels as agreed.
As the saying goes, "He who takes a bribe is bound to be obligated to do so," so this special treatment is something we can still offer.
"I…"
Hearing these harsh words, Yun Mingzhu's eyes instantly welled up with tears.
Madam Qin stepped forward, patted her hand to comfort her, and then looked at the constable, saying, "Officer, my Mingzhu is only doing this for everyone's good. What if that person really is a villain? Wouldn't we all be in danger?"
"Whether he's a criminal or not can only be determined after he wakes up and is interrogated. We can't jump to conclusions like that," the constable said coldly. "Besides, can't we handle a seriously injured man who's about to die?"
"Then...what if we waste so much time and can't get out of this forest at night?" Yun Mingzhu said, unwilling to give up.
"Oh, so you're setting off right now? Can you walk fast?" Upon hearing this, Zhao immediately retorted, "Aren't you the ones who've been holding us back all along?"
"Even if we walk slowly, we're still moving. But you, if you manage to save them, how are you going to take them away?"
Qin raised the most crucial question: "Judging from his condition, even if he's saved, he probably won't be able to move for a while, right?"
Zhao rolled her eyes and said, "No need for that. Instead of wasting your time making sarcastic remarks, you should take this opportunity to rest so you won't be too tired to walk later."
"you!"
"Cough cough..."
Qin was angered by these words and wanted to say something, but the man who had been unconscious started coughing at this moment.
"He's...he's alive!" Upon seeing this, everyone was shocked.
The constable also looked at Yun Zhourong with admiration. It seemed that the same method was used to bring Old Madam Yun back to life!
"water…"
The man murmured incoherently.
Yun Hongshen immediately took out a thermos and fed it to the man.
Yun Zhourong pretended to check the luggage, but actually took out a down jacket from her spatial storage and gave it to the man to wear.
The warm water soothed the man, and he finally regained some of his senses. He looked at the crowd, trembling, and asked, "Who...who are you...?"
“We are exiles passing by. We saw you collapsed here and rescued you,” Yun Zhourong said softly. “And who are you, and why are you so badly injured?”
