The medicine given by Jiang Zhi was very effective, but it was extremely painful when applying the medicine.
Lin Jintang had seen Jiang Mo use it some time ago. He, a grown man, turned pale in pain.
"Luzhu, please bear with it, you'll be fine in a while."
Ye Jintang took out the medicine bottle and gently sprinkled the medicine powder on Luzhu's wound.
She was even prepared to hold down Luzhu together with Aunt Liu if she struggled.
But when the medicinal powder fell, Green Pearl had no reaction.
"Doesn't it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt, and it still feels a bit cold."
"Well?"
Ye Jintang raised a question in his mind. Could it be that there are several types of Jiang Zhi's golden sore medicine? Does it hurt or not?
Or is she worrying too much? Jiang Zhi and Jiang Mo are not the same person?
Are her previous discoveries all coincidences?
Where in the world are there so many coincidences?
Putting away the doubts in his heart, Ye Jintang quickly bandaged his wounds.
She also deliberately wrapped a few more turns of gauze around their legs to prevent them from being worn out when they were on the road later.
By the time the three of them emerged from the bushes, the others had almost rested. Ye Jintang didn't waste any more time and was ready to leave.
Just when she was about to get on the horse, she realized that there was a coarse cloth blanket placed on the horse's back. When she looked at the green bead, it was the same, but the color was different.
"Brother Jiang, where did you get the coarse blanket?"
"Bringing a coarse cloth blanket with you when you go out is very useful."
Ye Jintang was speechless. She was just a novice who had never traveled far and didn't understand anything.
Ye Jintang was very grateful for Jiang Zhi's thoughtful gesture.
It had only been more than an hour of walking, and her legs were worn like this. She still had a day to go, so a coarse blanket was better than nothing.
Neither Ye Jintang nor Jiang Zhi mentioned the coarse blanket, so they got on their horses and continued on their way.
But the speed is obviously a bit slower than at the beginning.
There was still some pain in my legs, but not long after applying the medicine, the burning pain was relieved a lot.
The mountain road was still bumpy, and Ye Jintang was drowsy and in a daze. He didn't know when he actually fell asleep.
I don't know how long it took, but a gust of mountain wind blew, and Ye Jintang suddenly woke up.
She only felt that her whole body was nestled in Jiang Zhi's arms, and the large cloak turned into a protective bag, protecting her inside and preventing her from falling.
And Jiang Zhi's arm also landed firmly on her waist.
She probably would have rolled off the horse long ago without Jiang Zhi's support.
"Brother Jiang, how long do we have before we can get out of Wanma Mountain?"
Ye Jintang imperceptibly avoided Jiang Zhi's arm around her waist.
Men and women are not intimate, so it would be better for them not to have too much physical contact.
Besides, they were not familiar with each other, so she felt awkward being so close.
"With the current distance, it will take two hours anyway, but we will be able to get out of this dense forest soon, and then we don't have to rush too much."
"After walking out of the dense forest, the outside is relatively empty. Even if bandits attack, we are not afraid."
Jiang Zhi naturally noticed Ye Jintang's little moves and thoughts, but he didn't say much.
Where Ye Jintang couldn't see him, the corners of Jiang Zhi's lips couldn't help but rise slightly.
Just as Jiang Zhi said, they soon passed through the dense forest and entered a plain area.
The surrounding area suddenly became empty. If someone was ambushing, they would be able to see it from a long distance away.
"Everyone, keep going for a while. Let's find a clean place to rest and have something to eat."
Ye Jintang felt a little hungry after being reminded by Jiang Zhi.
Looking at the sky, I'm afraid it's already past lunch time.
The group finally chose a place to rest next to a creek.
When Jiang Zhi helped Ye Jintang get off the horse, he whispered, "Remember to spread some more golden sore medicine. We have to drive for two hours in the afternoon to get to the foothold. If you don't apply the medicine, it will be very painful."
"Thank you, Brother Jiang, for reminding me."
Ye Jintang almost said this through gritted teeth. He really didn't like to pick up any of the pots.
"Brother Qinglin, you said thank you to me many times today."
Ye Jintang, who was already a little embarrassed, now just wanted to punch Jiang Zhi and knock him out.
Lv Zhu, who was running over from the other side, saw Ye Jintang's expression was not good and asked cautiously, "Girl, has your injury worsened again?"
"It's okay. Let's go find a place to change the dressing."
"No need to bother, right? I feel like my legs don't hurt anymore."
"I have to ride a horse for a long time in the afternoon, so I need to change my dressing."
Lu Zhu was very surprised. Why did she feel that her girl was angry?
After running around Wanma Mountain for a whole day, when the group of them arrived at the inn, everyone, including Jiang Zhi, was very tired.
As soon as they entered the inn, it started to rain lightly outside.
"Thankfully we ran fast, otherwise we would have been caught in the rain just now."
Luzhu sighed with lingering fear.
They already have injuries on their bodies, and they might get sick if they get caught in the rain.
"With one autumn rain and one cold, this summer is over."
Ye Jintang couldn't help but sigh.
Summer without air conditioning or fans is really hard.
"Zhou Cong, ask the shopkeeper for the umbrella and go to town to see if there is anyone selling carriages."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
"Don't go, Zhou Cong. Let Makuan go. He is familiar with this place."
"this?"
Ye Jintang glanced at Jiang Zhi and Mu Chuan, and took out 50 taels of silver from the bag.
"Then please help Makikawa make a trip. You can use the money first. If it's not enough, I'll give it to you."
Makichuan glanced at Jiang Zhi and saw that he had no objection and reached out to take the silver.
"I'm going to buy a carriage for the young master right now."
Makikawa took the money and went out. Not long after leaving the inn, he was stopped by a tall man.
The person who came was wearing coarse clothes and a bamboo hat. He had an unshaven beard and looked quite decadent.
"It's really you Makikawa. When I saw you from a distance just now, I thought I had mistaken you."
The man stepped forward to say hello to Makikawa in a good mood.
"General Shi, why are you here?"
Makikawa looked at Shibin in surprise.
"I'm going to Xingnan Prefecture, and I happened to pass by here. Didn't you and the prince go to Yuezhou City to find Young Master Zhou, why are you here?"
"Young Master Zhou was not found in Yuezhou City. The prince wanted to go to Xingnan Prefecture some time ago to see if he could find Young Master Zhou, but something happened that delayed him for a few days."
"Then have you seen Lin Ruoyu in Yuezhou City?"
Makichuan felt Shi Bin's hand on his shoulder tighten a little, and he shook his head helplessly.
"Where are they? I've been to several places and found nothing."
The smile on Shi Bin's face disappeared instantly, becoming a little more gloomy.
More than a month has passed. If he can't find Lin Ruoyu again, he can't imagine what will happen to her as a little girl.
"General Shi, do you want to see the prince?"
"I'm not going, please help me take it with me. I'm going to Xingnanzhou now."
"It's dark and raining, and the official road to Xingnan Prefecture is not easy to walk. General Shi can stay in the town for one night, and it won't be too late to set off tomorrow morning."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. In the past, when we marched and fought in other places, there were even harsher environments than this. That didn't stop us from fighting the northern barbarians."
"I go first."
As he spoke, Shi Bin turned around and walked not far away, where there were several men dressed similarly to him.
Everyone is wearing bamboo hats and raincoats.
Shi Bin got on his horse, waved his hand towards Makichuan, and soon disappeared in the rain.
