The village chief’s wife pulled down Shu Yu’s clothes and looked at the scratches on her body.

“No wonder it hurts so much. The blood is so bad, and there are too many cuts. Quick, Huimei, come over here first and use a handkerchief to clean the little lady.”

Huimei was a girl who was about the same age as Shu Yu. Upon hearing this, she immediately wet her handkerchief and carefully wiped the blood off Shu

Shu Yu was not afraid of pain, and this little bit of pain was even less of a concern.

However, she still hissed from time to time, looking like she was in pain.

Fortunately, Huimei’s movements were gentle. After applying the medicine, she applied it gently.

On the other hand, she was afraid that she would use too much strength. She had been concentrating all this time and was sweating all over.

Shu Yu put on her clothes again and thanked them.

The village chief’s wife chuckled. She thought to herself, “This young lady has a good attitude. Young Sir Yun is thinking too much.”

Then, she wanted to chat with Shu Yu more and gossip a little more.

Before she could speak, Shu Yu covered her mouth and yawned, looking very sleepy.

Only then did the village chief’s wife remember that she was tired and injured. She was an injured person and indeed needed to rest. She smiled and stood up to leave with her claughter.

Shu Yu exhaled and carefully avoided the injury on her right hand before slowly lying down.

Not long after, Meng Yunzheng came back.

“How is it? Did it hurt?”

“No, this ointment is cool and refreshing. It’s quite comfortable.”

“Zhao Xi’s medicine is very effective. Fortunately, 1 brought two bottles of commonly used medicine with me. Otherwise, it would be difficult to find a doctor in this place, let alone medicine.”

Because he often went out and occasionally fought with others, Meng

Yunzheng carried medicine with him every day, which came in handy.

He had just asked around. There was a doctor in this village, but his medical skills were average. There were also medicines for injuries, but they were all herbs picked from the mountains and mashed into juice. They were applied to the wound. They were effective, but the effect was slow.

Shu Yu nodded. “What did you talk about with the village chief just now?”

“Nothing, I just asked about the situation in the village. This was Dafang Village. It was more than thirty miles away from the next posthouse, and they still had to take a detour. The town isn’t far. Let’s go to the town tomorrow.”

Shu Yu did not have any objections. “Then, as for the exile team…”

“You’re not suitable to return to the team in your current state. The exiles would not stop to wait for you just because you were injured. They would travel every day, which would not be beneficial to your recovery. I’ve already left a mark for Zhao Xi. If nothing goes wrong, he should be coming to the town tomorrow. Let him take a look at you. After you recuperate for a few days, we’ll go to the relay station and ask the relay station to find someone to send a letter to the leading official. They’ll come to pick you up.”

Shu Yu nodded. She didn’t have a household travel permit on her, so she couldn’t go to the Southwest by herself. It wouldn’t be good if she went to the next country and ended up being treated as a fugitive.

Fortunately, they were familiar with the leader.

She just didn’t know if he was seriously injured when he fell out of the car.

As the two of them were talking, there was a knock on the door.

Meng Yunzheng got up to open the door and saw a little boy five or six years old standing there. He said to him obediently, “My father asked me to call you to dinner.”

After saying that, he looked inside curiously, wanting to see Shu Yu. His small hand leaned forward against the door frame.

As he leaned forward, the thing hanging around his neck fell out of his collar..
