As soon as Wei Ci and his guards stepped out of the back door, all the guards of the Wei residence collapsed and fell unconscious within an instant.
Wei Ci was about to cry out when he felt a sharp pain in the back of his head and fell silent.
"What should we do with these guards?" Miao Cuifang asked.
"Except for the head guard, everyone else will be transported to the deep mountains later," Huo Xiaocheng replied.
"You killed them all?"
Miao Cuifang glanced at the purse at her waist. She hadn't brought enough medicine. All her little green snakes and scorpions had gone to their deaths as soon as they arrived in the border town; they were hibernating and couldn't be woken up.
"How can we kill them all?" said Master Wu, a skilled whip user.
"These men will die anyway if they return to the Wei family. They failed in their duty to protect their master, and their fate will not be good. Let's take them to the deep mountains. When they wake up tomorrow morning, without a leader, these guards will find their own way to survive."
"They won't tell anyone about us, will they?" Miao Cuifang continued to ask.
"They haven't seen you at all, so who are they talking to, and who are they talking to?"
The Miao boy nodded, carried Wei Ci's sack, and used his lightness skill to fly towards the Fengyue Tower.
"Xiao Cheng, go in and check on them. The rest of us will get these people out of here. Time is running out, let's get out of here quickly."
The boy nodded, and as he walked in, he bumped into Chunying, who was holding Fanghua.
"Is he still breathing?" Huo Xiaocheng asked.
He was too embarrassed to show concern for a woman in front of Chunying, and he only said that because he had once told the girl that Fanghua would definitely not die.
"Won't die"
Chunying was in a terrible mood. The woman in her arms wasn't heavy, but she felt as if she were carrying a ton of weight, as if she were holding not just a beautiful young woman, but the injustices of the world against women! The injustice of being sent around as slaves and maids!
In this world, things look glamorous and prosperous, but Your Majesty, please lift up that fig leaf and take a look!
Look at the state of your people! They're neither human nor ghost, and the slaves live worse than the dogs of the wealthy and powerful!
Huo Xiaocheng watched the girl's departing figure, tall and resolute. The girl in his dream was not like she was now; back then, she would speak to him in a roundabout way, every word she uttered seemed to have her spine bent by the weight of the world.
Now, Chunying is dressed in a black night outfit, with a crimson peony embroidered by herself on the hem, just as flamboyant and vibrant as she is.
The boy smiled. He thought, "This Chunying is wonderful, a thousand times, a hundred times better than the one in my dream."
Huo Xiaocheng then followed behind the two, escorting them back to the Fengyue Tower.
"sister?"
Huo Xiaolong looked at the blanket Chunying was holding, still clutching the wooden toy tank, when she jumped out and called out.
"Long'er, why aren't you asleep yet?" Liu Xu walked in from behind Chun Ying, picked up the little dumpling from the ground, and asked.
"I'm awake!"
Kids are like that, especially at night. They sleep for a while and then wake up again. When they're awake, they're full of energy. Huo Xiaolong is a little better. At least when he's awake, he doesn't act up and doesn't need anyone to watch him. He just sits there and fiddles with things by himself.
"Sis, what are you holding?" the little dumpling asked again.
Chunying lifted the corner of the blanket, revealing a woman's face, and said...
"Your sister, Fanghua"
What's wrong with her?
"She's seriously injured; your brother has already gone to fetch Doctor Gu."
Huo Xiaolong reached out his small hand and touched Fanghua's face. The woman's cheeks were cold, but the color had returned slightly.
"Is Fanghua dead?"
Although she had only met her a few times and her relationship with Sister Chunying was not very good, Xiao Tuanzi still knew about her risking her life to send a message to Fengyue Tower. She did not want this venomous beauty to wither away at the prime of her life.
"She won't die, don't worry. Your sister Chunying had a massive hemorrhage, so we fed her a Ganoderma lucidum pill."
Liu Xu said while holding the little dumpling
"Then Chunying will be gone too?"
Huo Xiaolong knew that there weren't many Lingzhi pills, and each girl could barely get one.
"If I keep it, I might never use it in my lifetime. Things only show their value when they're used."
Chunying placed Fanghua on the guest room bed, and said to the little dumpling...
Huo Xiaolong nodded, reached into his clothes and pulled out a pendant porcelain vase, saying...
"Sister is right! Give me another one!"
"I don't want it. It's a rare item anyway, keep it for yourself!"
Despite her words, Chunying was still reluctant to part with such a life-saving treasure.
"My sister said that you only see the value when you use it, and besides, I still have more."
The little dumpling shook the porcelain bottle in its hand a few times, and the pills inside made a rustling sound, indicating that there was a lot in stock. These were ginseng pills that Doctor Gu had sent a few days ago.
"How about giving another one to Sister Fanghua?"
Huo Xiaolong put his two little feet together, propped his cheeks up with his hands on the bed, and said, "What if Fanghua doesn't make it to Doctor Gu's place?"
"We can't just eat anything, what if it's too good for us and we die?" Liu Xu said from the side.
"Should we have Mother Cen come over and check her pulse first?"
Although Cen Ang is not skilled in medicine, he understands some pulse diagnosis. Together with He Yi, they are at least half-baked doctors, right?
"Mom's busy, she's interrogating that corrupt official," the little dumpling replied.
