xiu.""I won't get close, I can escort you from afar.""When we get to the foot of the mountain, I won't chase after you."Hu Ai-lan sounded half-believing, "Really"Zong Yu nodded."Alright, you must stay...After the poison was purged, Fang Jinshu sprinkled medicine powder on Yulian's wound and bandaged it.

Zhongyu took his younger brother around to sprinkle medicine powder and said a few words to him.

"Knowing you care about Yulian, she's already hurt, scolding her again won't help."

"If something happened to Yu Lian on the mountain, it would be our fault as her older brothers for not protecting her well."

Zong Bai lowered his head and remained silent for a while.

He couldn't help but feel remorse in his heart.

Knowing that her younger sister was going up the mountain for the first time, he actually left her with his elder brother's wife.

"I understand, Big Brother. When I get back later, I'll have a good talk with Yulian."

Meanwhile, Fang Jinshu was also advising Yulian.

Actually, your second older brother said so much because he cares about you too much. Don't take it to heart.

Back then, Zong Yulian would have probably jumped up and pointed at Zong Bai’s nose, arguing with him. After all the things that had happened to their family, she had grown up a lot.

"Sister-in-law, I know."

"I'm not blaming Second Brother, this time it's all my fault. I didn't run around on purpose."

"I'm sorry I worried you."

Fan Jinxiu smiled with satisfaction. She recalled that when she first came to the Zong family, Yu Lian was like a porcupine covered in thorns, scolding anyone who dared to approach her.

She was particularly opposed to it.

Who would have thought that the spoiled little cousin who only wanted to marry a rich man back then would have such a big change now.

Seeing her repentant and meek appearance, Fang Jinshu felt that choosing to reform this girl had indeed not been in vain.

The Zong family were all known for their good character, there was no reason why they would raise a daughter with such a wicked heart.

It seems she bet right after all.

This is Zong Yu bringing Zong Bai back. Jade Lotus saw that the second brother's face was still not good, and she took the initiative to apologize to him.

"Second Brother, I'm sorry, I worried you."

Zong Bai was still a little surprised. Yulian, this girl, had always been very stubborn. It was really rare for her to take the initiative to apologize with her head down.

It seems like this time, I truly know my mistake.

Since his younger sister had already taken the initiative to apologize and admit her mistake, Zong Bai had even less reason to keep a straight face.

His tone immediately softened.

"You, from now on, are not allowed to leave my side for a single step!"

The siblings smiled at each other, and the atmosphere instantly relaxed.

It was then that Fang Jinshi found the energy to stand up and look around.

"This is actually a cliff! Look, there's even a small cave over there!"

She pointed with her hand at a cliff face connecting to the forest. Zongyu glanced in that direction.

"I'll take a look, you guys stay put."

Zong Yu walked into the cave and checked it over. There was nothing dangerous inside, the place wasn't big, but it could fit the four of them for a night.

"The cave is fine, let's carry Yulian back there to rest first."

Zong Bai proactively carried Yu Lian, while Zong Yu didn't forget the wild boar he had slaughtered. He dragged it far away and directly took out his dagger to open its belly, cleaning out all the dirt inside.

Fang Jinxiu took out a large barrel of water from the space. The two of them directly cleaned the pig's internal organs at the edge of the cliff. After the meat was divided, they put it into the space.

"We could say we've turned misfortune into good fortune, couldn't we"

Zhang Zongyu nodded and smiled.

Over the next few days, because Yulian's leg was injured and inconvenient to move, Zong Yu and they took the cave as their base. Fang Jinshi also collected medicine in this area.

Fortunately, this area is also deep in the mountains. No one has ever been here before, and there are still plenty of resources.

They also found that within this patch of woods, the tracks of wild beasts were indeed more numerous than on the outskirts.

Zong Yu spent the morning guarding Fang Jinshu as she collected herbs. When she had gathered enough, he went off alone to hunt in the surrounding area.

Zong Bai stayed in the cave to look after Yu Lian.

Fang Jinshu was afraid that Yulian would be bored staying in the cave, so she gave her the collected herbs to clean out the weeds and mud.

In this way, the four of them had clear divisions of labor and did not delay the progress of gathering medicine and hunting.

Five days had passed in a blink, and Zong Yu felt that the prey he had accumulated was almost enough. Fang Jinshi's side had also harvested quite a lot.

Anyway, there should be enough medicinal herbs for the last batch of Feng Yun Pills before the snow falls.

"Shouldn't we be going back down the mountain about now We've been out for six days, and mother must be worried."

Zongyu nodded. "Well, it's too late today. Let's head down the mountain tomorrow morning."

At night, the temperature in the mountains was extremely low. Zong Yu calculated the time and felt that it should snow in a few days.

They talked about it before they rested for the night, but when they came out of the cave the next morning, they were surprised to find the world outside covered in silver.

In just one night, the forest and mountainside were covered with a thick layer of snow.

Zong Yu frowned, "Oh no."rrying a man, they were all startled.Upon seeing the person on the guard's back, his face turned even paler with fear."Master Fang, Mistress Fang, how could the Wang Ye have become like this"Fang Jins...
