Feng Jiu stopped Madam Yu as she was about to descend from the carriage with her son in her arms.
"No need to get down. Just sit a little to the side." Feng Jiu said. After they moved, she checked the child and finally said, "He's just feverish from the fright. It's a small issue; please wait here." She turned and walked towards the small forest after she said this.
Yu Chengde and his wife looked at each other in confusion. It took a minute for Madam Yu to work up the courage to ask, "Master, do you think Madam Ling is reliable? Does she really have dical skills?"
Yu Chengde looked at the azure figure walking into the small forest, paused montarily, and then said, "Based on my experience reading people, I believe they are capable. In any case, the way they dealt with those dozens of n in black shows that they're not ordinary loose cultivators."
When Madam Yu heard her husband's words, she felt relieved and whispered, "Yes. Our family might have been killed on the road if it weren't for them."
"Master, ever since the old patriarch fell, the people ambushing us have increased." She stated worriedly to Yu Chengde. "I'm really worried…"
"All right, now don't worry too much. We should first focus on the situation at hand."
As Yu Chengde spoke, he touched his son's forehead and held his hand. He thought they were both very hot, which made him worry. He looked back and saw Madam Ling walking towards them with a handful of herbs in her hand.
Feng Jiu said,"Build a fire rack and boil this herb for him to drink," as she handed the herbs to him. She flicked her finger and popped a rough, simple pill made from a mix of herbs into the child's mouth.
Yu Chengde then said to his wife, "The night air is chilly and damp; you and the fifth child should stay in the carriage. When the dicine is ready, I'll bring it to you."
Feng Jiu saw that Xuanyuan Mo Ze had returned, so after talking to Yu Chengde briefly, she went to her husband, who was carrying so ga animals.
"Sit down! I'll take care of the ga." Xuanyuan Mo Ze said, asking her to rest on the grassy slope.
Feng Jiu smiled. "I'll go gather so branches." After that, she asked, "Do you need help with the ga?"
"No, I can do it myself." Xuanyuan Mo Ze answered. He hadn't done this in a long ti but was used to handling ga animals by himself.
Feng Jiu nodded and walked towards the small forest when she saw this. Yu Chengde shouted, "Madam Ling, tell the guards to pick up the branches. Please take a seat and rest!"
"No need, I like doing things myself," Feng Jiu said without turning her head. Then she walked into the small forest. Not long after, she returned with a bunch of branches in her arms.
As dusk settled, the aroma of at started to waft by the side of the mountain road. Feng Jiu and Xuanyuan Mo Ze sat around a small fire while the Yu family and their guards were around a larger one. The sll of at filled the air, making the injured and tired guards salivate.
After being fully fed, the Yu family's guards, except for a few who stayed up for the night, leaned against each other and rested. Yu Chengde and his wife looked after their sleeping children in the carriage and checked to see if their younger son's fever had gone away.
Xuanyuan Mo Ze leaned against a tree next to the fire and laid one of his arms on Feng Jiu, who was asleep on his thigh.
