Chu Ling was a little unconscious when she woke up. She remembered that before she fainted, she seemed to be on a stream at the foot of the mountain. When she walked to the stream, she fainted without even having time to take a sip of water. Before she fell into a coma, her last thought was that at least... she would not be eaten by a wild beast, right?

It seems that her luck is still good.

The place I woke up was a dim and simple little house. The narrow windows on the walls could see the sky outside and the yard. There was only one bed and a table and two benches in the room. The quilt covered with it was also very thin and old. Fortunately, it was early April now, so it was at least not frozen with such a quilt.

He forced himself to sit up, and the wounds of all sizes on his body immediately began to show his presence. Chu Ling took a breath and looked around and saw his Liuyue Knife on the table not far away. It would be quite troublesome if the Liuyue Knife was lost by her. After all, it was not easy to find a good weapon, not to mention that this was given to her by A Duo, and Chu Ling did not want to lose it.

"Girl, are you... you woke up?" There was a sound of footsteps outside the door. A woman in a simple clothed dress walked in with a bowl of medicine. Seeing Chu Ling sitting on the bed, she couldn't help but smile happily. Chu Ling nodded and said, "Is this sister-in-law who saved me?" The woman looked in her early twenties and had a woman's hair bun, and she was obviously married.

The woman shook her head and said, "It was our husband who brought people into the mountains to hunt, and she happened to see you by the water at the entrance of the mountain."

Chu Ling solemnly said, "The grace of saving lives will never be forgotten." I have to say that Chu Ling is so lucky. These days, a person covered in blood and scars and with a knife fainted on the side of the road. Ordinary people didn't even have time to hide and dare to save them home? If their luck was worse, it would be even more troublesome to report to the official directly. Of course, these people of the Apocalypse will not dare to contact the people of the Clan before they had no choice. Even if they saw the courageous ordinary people, they would only regard it as if they didn't see it.

The woman shook her head shyly, stuffed the medicine bowl into Chu Ling's hand and said, "You are polite, girl, please drink the medicine quickly."

"Thank you." Chu Ling smelled the medicine bowl and could probably tell what medicine it was. She drank it in one sip, regardless of the effect. The woman probably had never seen a girl who drank so happily, so she couldn't help but stare at Chu Ling in a daze. Chu Ling smiled and returned the medicine bowl to her before asking, "Sister-in-law, may I ask...what is this place?"

The woman said, "We are a village at the foot of Dayun Mountain, called Hejia Village. Most of the people in our village are surnamed He." Chu Ling frowned slightly, thought for a while before asking, "Is this near... Liangzhou, Xiayu County?" The woman thought for a while, and hesitated and said, "The county town... seems to be called this name, I have never been there."

Chu Ling nodded. Although she was chased by Jiankun these days, she still knew the location of the site. Naturally, she knew that her current location was either Runzhou or Liangzhou. She studied the northern terrain and the division of various places in Shangjing two years ago, and she still had some impression of the woman's Dayun Mountain. I remember that it was between Liangzhou and Runzhou, and a small part stretched to the mountains in Xinzhou. In other words, she is still in the north of Dayun Mountain.

Chu Ling hesitated for a moment, but in this situation, it was useless to think about anything, so it would be better to recover the injury as soon as possible.

As soon as he woke up, Chu Ling checked his injuries as soon as he woke up. Not to mention the external injuries on his body, the internal injuries were already serious and made her use. Now Chu Ling's martial arts skills are less than 30% of the usual ones. The feeling that he suddenly realized when he was fighting with the wolves before was gone. However, Chu Ling was not in a hurry. Many times the most important thing was actually a feeling. She had a premonition that as long as her injury healed, her strength would definitely be higher than before. The most important thing now is to recover from the injury, and... she had to find a way to send a letter to Xinzhou and Jun Wuhuan.

However, Chu Ling was not in a hurry at the moment. It was obviously a very remote place at the foot of Dayun Mountain. The sister-in-law He who saved her had never even been to the county town. It can be seen that the distance between the county town and Hejia Village is really not close. This Hejia Village is probably more remote than she imagined.

The man who saved Chu Ling was named He Yuan, a hunter born in Hejia Village. The woman was named He Ying. The two of them grew up together since childhood. Hejia Village was very closed, and most of the people in the nearby villages had surnames He, and there was no saying that they would not marry the same surname. The couple had no elderly people and children. Although their lives were hard, they were still peaceful.

This time, when her husband picked up a girl from outside, He Ying was still a little unhappy. But she could not throw a coma girl away and let her die. However, after she washed her face and treated the wound, she no longer worried about anything. Such a beautiful girl, even if she was not an ordinary person of any origin, could not be kept in such a place. What wouldn't happen if she was worried about. As for the matter of taking advantage of some herbs and food, there was nothing to worry about, after all, it was a life.

When Chu Ling woke up, He Ying had no mind to think about such messy things. She always felt that this girl was different from everyone she had met, and she couldn't say anything at the moment. She just seemed to want to obey her words involuntarily. Although this girl was both hurt and sick, and she spoke gently and politely, she felt that she was even more majestic than Uncle Lizheng.

Chu Ling had almost understood where he was in a short while.

Hejia Village is very remote, and it is said that it takes at least two or three days to cross a few mountains from the county town. Therefore, there are few people in the village going out, and not many people who have been to the county town. If you want to buy anything, most of them will go to the town. But even so, the town closest to here will have to walk more than a day. However, because it is too remote, this village has not suffered too much suffering because of the turmoil. Knowing that it is chaos outside, the people in the village don’t go out easily. Although the taxes are much higher every year, they come to the village to eat for free from time to time, but the real turmoil is not actually seen by the turmoil village. After all, it is not an attractive thing for the turmoil village to take a place with less than 100 households in the nearby villages.

Chu Ling was able to get up and walk after lying on the bed for a day. Most of the injuries on her body were not serious. The real reason for her fainting was exhausted and excessive fatigue. The most serious thing was the injury on her left arm. After checking, she found that her left arm could not move for the time being. She was afraid that she would not recover in a short period of time. If Chu Ling was a doctor, she would be cursing when she saw such injuries. Once again, she could really be a one-armed female hero from now on.

Next is internal injuries. Chu Ling fought against Jiankun several times these days, and her strength was far behind. Chu Ling's internal injuries became more and more serious, and I was afraid that I could not use internal strength casually for a while.

Apart from that, everything was fine. He Ying and his wife were surprised. When Chu Ling was picked up, they were covered in blood. They thought they could not save them anymore. Unexpectedly, the girl could get up and walk around after only one day.

"Miss Ling, what are you doing? Why don't you rest quickly?" The young couple, carrying firewood, He Ying, walked into the courtyard surrounded by fences, and saw Chu Ling sitting under the eaves holding an axe and chopping firewood, and was startled. Chu Ling raised her head and put the axe aside and smiled and said, "It's nothing, I don't have to do this. I saved me and took me in. Doing something casually is the place." This is not Chu Ling's showing off. Although he can't use internal force, it's really not a big deal to split a few firewood with one hand with skill.

"You are still hurt." He Ying said in disagreement.

Chu Ling stood up obediently and looked at the two of them, but saw He Yuan frowning slightly, looking worried and confused. In fact, the people in this village seemed to be bothering me. The children were fine, especially some elderly people and middle-aged people, and there was always a little sadness between their eyebrows. Chu Ling felt that although the Hejia Village was remote and poor, it was better than the people who were ravaged by the tribe outside. But after all, she was a newcomer and it was hard to ask about it rashly.

I just looked at He Yuan’s appearance at this time, but I didn’t know it anymore.

"Brother He, do I think you have something to do with your heart in a hurry?" Chu Ling asked.

He Yuan shook his head, Chu Ling hesitated and said, "Can I be here... cause trouble for you two?"

He Ying shook his head and said, "Miss Ling, what's this? It's just that multiple people have more than one pair of chopsticks. It has nothing to do with Miss Ling... It's something else. Don't think too much. Recovering your injuries is the right thing." He Ying's words were sincere. She didn't say that she felt very good about Chu Ling. Just say that Chu Ling gave her two silver beads as food and accommodation expenses after she woke up, He Ying would never think that Chu Ling was in trouble.

"Can I know it conveniently?" Chu Ling asked.

He Ying and He Yuan looked at each other, and after a while, He Ying said, "Actually... it's not something that cannot be said. Miss Ling stayed in the village for a few days, and you will still know if we don't say it. Two months ago, there were some more people in Dayun Mountain. What did it mean? The rebel army, the leader said it was called a mighty general. He said he wanted to expel the people of the Clan and support the court... That's probably what he said. He also sent someone to notify us that he would not be able to hand it over again in the future.

The taxes were given to the people of the Clan, and they would collect the taxes in the future. But now it is not the time for summer to collect, and no family has any extra money and grain to pay taxes just after winter. Those people said that if they want to marry a few girls in our village as general's wives, the taxes they should pay should be regarded as betrothal gifts. Don't say that those people are unknown, even if they are really good people, the girls they ordered have been engaged. One of them is still married, how can they marry?"

Chu Ling frowned, a little incredible.

"There is still such a thing? What general would come to such a place?"

He Ying shook his head and looked confused, "Those people call the leader general, a group of about 200 or 300 people, each carrying weapons. They also said they wanted to recruit soldiers. In the nearby villages, a few young people were told to vote for them. The young people in our village were pressed by the uncle in the inner village and did not move." When those people wanted to marry the girl from their village, the young people would naturally not be on them anymore.

Chu Ling asked, "When will those people come to marry? What are you going to do?"

He Yuan said, "I will come to pick up people in three days. We...Uncle Li Zheng must have plans."

He Yuan was still a little vigilant. Although Chu Ling didn't look like a bad person, it was not a bad thing to be careful about. Chu Ling understood and nodded and said, "If there is anything you need to help, Brother He can still help a little, even if I speak."

He Yuan agreed politely.

He Ying was worried about Chu Ling's injury and did not let her do anything. Chu Ling was bored and had to walk around the village. Moreover, she was also thinking about what He Ying and He Yuan said, so she naturally couldn't help but pay attention.

Hejia Village is not big, and more than 20 families live at the foot of the mountain, which is close to each other. Chu Ling wears He Ying's clothes and walks along the way, which attracts the attention of many people. These people are curious and look at Chu Ling with a bit of vigilance and alertness. Chu Ling doesn't care and says hello to the people he meets on the way.

“Woo woo…”

The woman's crying sound came from a dilapidated and simple room on the side of the remote road. Chu Ling stopped and looked over. Naturally, there was nothing to see through a door. Only the woman's crying and a man's faint breathing were heard.

"My husband...wow..."

The man coughed a few times and said, "Madam, I...I'm useless, I'm sorry to you... Don't be afraid, I, I will take you out of here." The woman sobbed and said, "No, you are so sick. We can't walk far away from here, but it will affect your husband. I, I will go. Li Zheng agreed, as long as I go, he will pay for you to treat the disease..."

"No!" The man's voice was hoarse and urgent, "I promised to protect you and never let you be bullied. I know my body myself. We will leave to the town tonight and we will find the ox cart and leave here, and they will not find ours."

The two of them were very low, and even if someone passed by outside, they might not be able to hear it clearly. But this could not be hidden from Chu Ling's ears. She frowned slightly, and just heard the sound, she knew that the man was in a very bad health. If it took more than a day for Shiying to leave here, these two people would definitely not be able to walk. What's more, the world outside may not be better than here.

The woman seemed to know that her husband's proposal was not feasible, and she couldn't help crying loudly, "Why... Could it be that I did something wrong in my previous life that I would suffer such a sin in this life..."

"Madam...Madam! Cough cough..." Before the man finished speaking, he coughed violently. A woman's figure came from the room, "Honey! What's wrong with you, husband?! I...I'm going to ask for a doctor!"

"Don't...ah...ah..." the man shouted.

Chu Ling knew that she could no longer delay, so she pushed the door and walked in without knocking on the door. The person inside was startled. The woman suddenly stood up from the edge of the bed and said, "You are..."

Before she finished speaking, Chu Ling had already reached the bed and pointed it at several acupoints on the man's chest. After a while, the man who had been coughing violently had turned red, slowly let out a breath and finally calmed down. Chu Ling frowned slightly because of the internal force and said, "Your disease, if you don't take medicine, you will be cured."

"You..." The woman looked at Chu Ling in shock, came back to her senses and rushed to the man to see him calm down. She couldn't help but look happy on her face, "Honey, are you here? These... are the girls rescued by Brother He yesterday? You can..." Chu Ling shook her head and said, "I won't treat the disease, I just let him stop coughing for the time being."

The woman's eyes darkened, and the man finally breathed evenly. He nodded to Chu Ling and said, "Thank you, thank you for your help, girl."

Chu Ling looked at him and said, "Have you studied?"

The man nodded and said, "I have read a few days of books when I was young."

Chu Ling said, "Your disease should not be difficult to cure, why did it last until now?" The man smiled bitterly and said, "It's me that I'm incompetent, at home..."

Chu Ling suddenly realized that this man was a scholar and this woman looked quite weak. I was afraid that she was not a good farming person, let alone learning from He Yuan to hunt. It would naturally be more difficult for such a family to not have family assistance. In this era, it is not uncommon to die of illness because of no money to buy medicine.

Chu Ling frowned and said, "Sorry, I heard the two of you say just now..."

Before she finished speaking, the couple changed their faces. Seeing this, Chu Ling quickly comforted him and said, "Don't worry, you two, I won't tell anyone what decision you make." The couple still looked at Chu Ling with some distrust. Chu Ling smiled at the two with kindness, "If you don't mind, you might as well tell me what's going on. Maybe I can help you a little."

The man frowned and said nothing, obviously he had not decided whether to trust Chu Ling. However, the woman was quite decisive, "Okay, I'll tell the girl."

"Madam..."

The woman smiled bitterly and said, "It's time to reach this point, what are you afraid of?" She had already decided that if she was really forced to remarry, she would commit suicide after marrying to protect her innocence. Since she was not even afraid of death, what else is there to be scary? The man looked at her for a while, sighed and nodded to her.
