The three bullies on the cliff watched them fall into the cliff and cursed under their breath. One of them said, "Head, I found something good. This groom actually has steamed buns on him."
The leader glanced at it and immediately walked over happily. He divided them into three portions and ate them. He also asked the other two to carry the groom back on the ground.

A shore.
Pei Yubing woke up and found that Chu Huizhou was the only one next to him, and Pei Shuxue had long been missing, perhaps washed away by the current.
Pei Yubing shouted a few words, Mr. Chu? Mr. Chu, wake up. Chu Huizhou still had no reaction. Pei Yubing realized that something was wrong, so he quickly reached out to touch Chu Huizhou's forehead and wrist. If he was hot in the foot, he would be warm, and if he was not hot in the foot, his pulse would be slippery, and if he was cold, he would be wind. The so-called "foot fever" refers to fever or no fever. "Chi" is the wrist-end pulse point, which is connected with "Cun" and "Guan", collectively referred to as "Cun, Guan, and Chi".
Pei Yubing thought to himself, "Oh no, Mr. Chu's symptoms must be a fever."
Pei Yubing looked at himself and saw that he was not injured, but Chu Huizhou was in a miserable state. Pei Yubing looked around and thought that Chu Huizhou gradually felt powerless due to the low temperature of the water and excessive physical exertion, and finally fell into a coma. Long periods of immersion in cold water and overexertion can cause abnormalities in the body. His temperature began to rise and he developed symptoms of fever.
The medicinal materials that Pei Yubing carried with him were no longer known to where they were washed away by the current, but Mr. Chu couldn't be allowed to burn them all the time. This was not an option. Suddenly, he thought of what was written in the book: "The extreme heat syndrome will lead to death before death." If it can be solved, it is better to soak green cloth in water from the new well and iron each other."
Pei Yubing walked to a place with accumulated water, soaked it with shark croaker, and gently applied it on Chu Huizhou's forehead. He murmured, Mr. Chu, you will be fine, just wait until I find the medicinal materials.
Pei Yubing originally thought of her looking for medicinal materials, but seeing Chu Huizhou unconscious, he was really worried. He originally thought of carrying him and walking together, but he obviously underestimated his own strength. It was too heavy, so he must not have left yet. After taking a few steps, Pei Yubing was already out of breath from exhaustion, so he gently put Chu Huizhou down.
She started to look around, and when she looked at the vines, she suddenly had an idea in her mind. She tied up Chu Huizhou's feet with vines, put some vines and grass under Chu Huizhou for a simple cushion, and then dragged Chu Huizhou along. Return to the boat and move forward.
Fortunately, he found a small village when it was getting dark, and Pei Yubing showed a hint of joy on his face.
However, this joy did not last long. They knocked on the door and asked for a night's stay, but they were met with a cold rejection.
"I'm sorry, little girl, we really don't have any extra room at home. Let's go look elsewhere."
Another one...
"Sorry, little girl, it's not convenient for us to receive strangers."
"Please, ma'am, please let us stay for one night. I still have some money here that I can give to you."
What greeted Pei Yubing was the cold sound of the door closing.
The rejection from one house after another left them feeling hopeless and helpless.
Tears welled up in Pei Yubing's eyes, but she resisted letting them fall. She knew that she couldn't give up and let Chu Huizhou behind her down even though he was still unconscious.
The reality is cruel. They traveled almost throughout the village, but never found a family willing to accept them. The night is getting darker and darker, and the cold wind is getting more and more biting.
The entire Luoyun Village seemed particularly gloomy and peaceful. Suddenly, the peaceful night was broken by the laughter of several men. They are some young people in the village who like to make noise and look for excitement.
That night, they got together and appeared in a corner of the village in a drunken state. Their eyes were greedy and wanton, and they fell on Pei Yubing. When the men saw Pei Yubing, they were immediately attracted by her beauty. They began to whistle at her and approach her with playful smiles.
When Pei Yubing was in a daze, there were several more men in front of him. They were all ordinary-looking, and none of them could be as good-looking as Chu Huizhou. This thought flashed through Pei Yubing's mind.
Pei Yubing didn't know the purpose of these men at first. Seeing them smiling at her, she smiled back at them politely. But soon she realized their evil intentions, and her smile gradually disappeared, replaced by a nervous and frightened expression. She instinctively took a few steps back, wanting to escape from this place.
But the men gathered around him, laughing loudly and teasing Pei Yubing.
"Hey, whose little lady is this? She goes out so late, is she waiting for us?" A man said viciously.
"Haha, yes, this little lady is so beautiful, how could we miss her?" another man echoed.
Pei Yubing wanted to take out the silver needle, but now there was nothing on him.
She looked at Chu Huizhou who was being dragged by her on the ground and then at the drunken men in front of her. She couldn't run away even if she wanted to. Even if she abandoned Chu Huizhou, she couldn't run away. In her mind, she couldn't run away. Keep thinking of escape plans.
Seeing these men getting closer and closer to her, she still couldn't think of a way to escape, and she thought to herself, is it really doomed?
Just when a man was about to touch Pei Yubing's face, a voice came from the distance: "Stop."
The men were still cursing secretly, who ruined their good deeds. When they saw the person, they were half awake from the wine, and they quickly said, Old madam, it is their fault. Don’t tell your mother and father at home. Then Grandma, who walked very slowly with a cane, appeared in their sight. It was obvious that grandma was very kind.
The old woman patted Pei Yubing's hand gently and said, "Good boy, grandma will help you teach them a lesson if you are wronged."
After the old woman looked at them, her tone was still so kind, but the words she spoke made the men sweat. "Let your elders come to my place tomorrow."
Maybe only the people in this Luoyun Village know why this grandma, who seems to be almost over 100 years old, is so prestigious. That's because grandma can cure all kinds of diseases and has kept the family upright for generations, not to mention grandma's prestige. Extremely high, of course they wouldn't dare.
After the old woman finished speaking, she looked at Pei Yubing and said, "You are from outside, you look unfamiliar. You are not from our Luoyun Village." Then she looked at the men and you guys quickly apologized to the girls.
The men looked at Pei Yubing respectfully, thinking that they had offended the girl and hoped that she would forgive them.
Pei Yubing knew that this was his territory after all, so he said softly that he was fine.
