Quick Wear: Male supporting role, come to my arms quickly

Chapter 274: Food in Hand, No Panic in Exile 17

Although puppets are no different from normal people after being given identities, she would still feel uncomfortable if her cousin fell in love with her puppet.

So, Chu Yuan found a suitable opportunity and took Lu Haoyuan away alone, under the pretext of wanting to have some emotional communication with him, but in fact he wanted to find out his thoughts indirectly.

After listening to his cousin's nonsense, Lu Haoyuan finally understood what she was thinking: "Cousin, you think too much. I just want to learn martial arts from Miss Xia Yu. Besides, I already have someone in my heart."

Chu Yuan just felt a little embarrassed, it turned out that he was overthinking, and then he heard a bombshell piece of news.

"What!? Cousin, do you have a crush on someone? Who is it? Tell me, I promise not to tell anyone else."

Lu Haoyuan scratched his head embarrassedly: "It's nothing, actually. My father and mother both know about this. If this accident hadn't happened, we might have already been engaged."

After listening to her cousin's words, Chu Yuan realized that her aunt had written to ask her to come to the capital to meet her future cousin-in-law.

The girl was about the same age as her, and they were more likely to have common topics, so her aunt wanted her to help out.

It just so happens that she is about to reach the age of marriage. If she can find a good husband in the capital, it will be a double blessing, and the two families will be able to visit each other frequently in the future.

However, Lu Nanfeng's treason came suddenly. If the regent had not appeared in time, my whole family would have been beheaded.

Now that they were exiled to Shu, the marriage was naturally called off. Maybe the girl had already married someone else by now.

But Lu Haoyuan still couldn't let go and was always worried about that gentle woman.

Chu Yuan patted his cousin's shoulder to comfort him: "It's okay, cousin. When we get to Shu, I will find you a better cousin."

"You should find one for yourself first."

She had just celebrated her fifteenth birthday a few days ago. Normally, girls of this age would have their families looking for marriage partners for them, but now on the way to Shu, there were no young men of the right age for Chu Yuan to choose from.

So even if her uncle and aunt were worried about this matter, there was nothing they could do for her. They couldn't find one for her among the exiles, so Chu Yuan escaped temporarily.

Knowing that Lu Haoyuan wanted to learn martial arts, Chu Yuan gave him a promise: "Don't worry, cousin. When we settle down in Shu, I will let Xia Yu teach you martial arts and bring back all the skills you learned when you were a child."

The two siblings followed the main group, chatting and laughing, and continued to march into the mountains.

At their current speed, they will be able to climb over the mountain in two days, but there are still continuous mountains waiting for them, and the road ahead will be immeasurable.

Several days and nights passed again, but this time, they encountered a small accident on the way forward.

There is a lot of miasma in the deep mountains.

Even though Chu Yuan had anticipated this and reminded everyone to cover their mouths and noses as much as possible, there were still some people with weak constitutions who fell ill because they could not withstand the erosion of the miasma.

The progress of the entire team was thus slowed down.

Chu Yuan has been worried about this matter recently. She has pills that can resist miasma, but she can't give one to everyone.

There were more than a hundred prisoners and officers in the team. Even if she had the will and ability, she didn't want to be the scapegoat.

The deep mountains are rich in resources. Xia Yu listed several medicinal herbs that can resist miasma and asked the families of the sick prisoners to search for them along the way. If they could collect all the herbs, he would boil medicine for them for free.

This is the best solution Chu Yuan can think of. Although he cannot take on all the tasks himself, he can still provide appropriate help.

After all, if the exile date was delayed, her aunt's family would also be implicated, which was not the result she wanted to see.

Fortunately, these medicinal herbs are not difficult to find. The several types listed by Xia Yu are all those that Chu Yuan has seen in the mountains in recent days, so within two days, people came to him one after another with medicinal herbs.

That evening, Xia Yu used the medicine pots they brought with them to boil several doses of medicine and distributed them to the patients who had handed in the medicinal materials.

After one night, the patient's condition improved greatly. At least he was able to walk on his own and no longer had to be a burden to others.

The remaining people who had not yet collected all the herbs began to get anxious when they saw this. Now they had reached the halfway point of the mountain and were about to go down. If they could not find the herbs today, they would have to look for them on the next mountain, which would take a few more days.

They were already exhausted from climbing over mountains and crossing rivers, and now they had to carry their sick family members on their backs. Such days were simply too difficult to endure. Every extra step consumed more than twice the usual amount of energy.

But these things have nothing to do with Chu Yuan. Anyway, she has already provided the prescription. If you can get all the herbs together, come to Xia Yu to make the medicine. If you can't, just grit your teeth and persevere.

Anyway, this little bit of miasma is not enough to kill anyone.

......

The days passed one by one, and they were finally about to leave the mountains.

Doctor Xia Yu has played a very important role these days. In the mountains, it is inevitable to be bitten by snakes, insects, rats and ants. Even the strong officials cannot avoid asking her for help, let alone the prisoners being escorted.

It was precisely because of this that Lu Zhan's family was almost completely separated from other exiles. Apart from the chains on their feet and the same destination, their treatment was completely different.

When they arrived in the town, the three of them got on the carriage with Chu Yuan. They also had their own meals on weekdays, and the other people in the team didn't dare to have any opinions.

After all, who hasn't received their kindness over these days? Even if someone can persist without getting sick or injured, can his family members do the same?

The answer is of course no.

The only family that truly did not accept their help was Lu Xiuzhu's.

But that's because they have the master Yunbei following them, so they can solve any problems they encounter on their own.

Speaking of Yunbei, Chu Yuan hasn't seen him for a long time.

Although Chu Yuan would deliberately avoid the direction where he was on weekdays, the fact that they had never met for so many days was enough to prove his hiding skills.

Now Chu Yuan is completely certain that these people should be the secret guards or dead waiters of some powerful family. After all, no force would pay so much attention to the ability to hide when training their disciples.

However, the strength of the person behind the scenes who can train such outstanding talents should not be underestimated.

Chu Yuan already had some guesses in his mind, but there was no way to verify them for the time being.
