Chapter 438: Meeting Gao Shen
Fortunately, there was such a place to stay. Jiang Ruonan recovered after a few days of recuperation.
"Master, if you can hold on, let's set out from here tomorrow. We have no more medicine on us."
Jiang Ruonan nodded: "Don't worry, I can hold on."
The next morning, several people prepared to set off. Li Yan'er took off the only earring on her ear and secretly placed it on the table in the room as a thank you.
She had no other jewelry left, having lost them all while running for her life.
After catching up with Jiang Ruonan, the group headed out of the valley.
Because of Jiang Ruonan's injury, they walked very slowly, but after walking for a whole day they still couldn't get out of the valley.
Fortunately, there were Xu Shan and Zuo Cheng. With them around, they could hunt some game every day and they wouldn't starve. If they were thirsty, they would put snow in their mouths. Although it was a little cold, it could quench their thirst.
The few of them walked slowly for a few more days before finally walking out of the valley.
Jiang Ruonan's face turned even paler.
Li Yan'er was very worried.
Xu Shan said, "Master, why don't you just rest here for a while. I'll go see if there are any villages nearby and see if I can find a bullock cart or a horse carriage or something like that."
Li Yaner totally agrees!
"Ruonan, hold on a little longer. We have come out of this situation and we will take you to see a doctor later."
Jiang Ruonan nodded: "Don't worry, I won't die!"
Xu Shan was gone for half a day and came back with a donkey pulling a cart.
After helping Jiang Ruonan into the car, he took out a basket with steamed buns and pickles in it.
He took out another water bag.
"There is a village in front. When I went to buy a donkey from them, I found out that someone had also bought a donkey in their village a few days ago. I think it must be the young master and his wife."
Everyone's hanging hearts were finally put at ease.
"I asked around and they said they were heading towards Mohe. The buns were given to me by the family that bought the donkey. I also got some hot water."
"Thanks for your hard work."
Xu Shan shook his head: "It's what my subordinates should do."
After saying this, they rode their donkeys and headed towards Mohe.
Xie Jiaojiao was already getting a little impatient waiting here.
A Tian A Di looked at her seriously: "Aunt, has something happened to my uncle?"
Xie Jiaojiao comforted them, "No, you see Uncle Xu and Uncle Zuo are not here either, they must be together. Uncle Xu and Uncle Zuo are so powerful in martial arts, they will definitely protect your little uncle."
The two little kids held their cheeks and looked outside with their brows furrowed.
Xie Jiaojiao sighed, called Jiang Weinan over, and asked quietly: "It's been almost half a month, and there is still no news?"
Jiang Weinan shook his head.
Lai Fu suddenly ran in from the other side: "Master and Madam, young master and young lady are here!"
Xie Jiaojiao hurriedly walked outside with Jiang Weinan, leaning on her crutches, and A Tian and A Di quickly followed.
Lai Fu explained, "I went to the pharmacy today to get medicine for Madam and Cui Zhu, and I happened to see Xu Shan and his friends taking Young Master to the clinic!"
Xie Jiaojiao was stunned: "Ruonan is injured?"
Lai Fu explained: "The injury is not serious."
She was relieved now.
Li Yan'er and the others had been brought in from the backyard by Lai Fu.
When relatives meet, they are in tears.
Xie Jiaojiao saw that they were all dirty and it was obvious that they had suffered a lot during these days.
As soon as Li Yan'er saw Xie Jiaojiao, her eyes immediately turned red.
"Cousin..."
Xie Jiaojiao's eyes were also very hot: "I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for you!"
A Tian A Di went straight to Jiang Ruonan and hugged his trouser legs.
"Uncle, we were just thinking about you, but unexpectedly, you showed up!"
Jiang Ruonan forced a pale smile: "Really? Uncle has been thinking about our A Tian A Di these days!"
Li Yan'er saw her leaning on crutches and cried even harder: "Cousin, your feet!"
"It's fine. It's almost healed and the scar has healed. It's just that my walking is a little uncoordinated, so I use a cane to make it more convenient."
“You have suffered too.”
Xie Jiaojiao shook her head: "Come into the house quickly."
Xie Jiaojiao found some clean clothes and asked Lai Fu to boil some water.
After a busy day, it was already evening.
Du Liunian also came over. He was slightly startled when he saw so many people in the house, and then asked, "Jiaojiao, is this the relative you are waiting for?"
Xie Jiaojiao nodded: "Liunian, I'm sorry to bother you again."
Du Liunian hurriedly shook his head: "That's not right, it's more lively when there are more people around, and turned around and told the kitchen to prepare more food."
Li Yan'er bowed slightly to Du Liunian: "Greetings, Madam Du."
"Liunian, this is my cousin, Li Yan'er."
"Hello, sister Yan'er."
After the introduction, everyone sat down.
After dinner in the evening, Du Liunian did not disturb their family reunion.
Xie Jiaojiao then asked them why they came so late.
Li Yan'er told every detail.
When she heard that Nalande had caught up with them, she couldn't help but worry for them.
Speaking of Jiang Ruonan's injury, Xie Jiaojiao and Jiang Weinan were both worried.
Listen to the end.
"You mean Xu Shan killed Nalande?"
Li Yan'er nodded: "The head fell at my feet."
I see. That’s why it took so long without any pursuers catching up with us.
Seeing that she and Jiang Ruonan looked tired, he didn't pull them aside to chat, but just asked them to go and rest quickly.
After everyone left, Xie Jiaojiao said to Jiang Weinan: "I don't know what's going on in the capital now!"
When it comes to this, Jiang Weinan was also very worried. No matter whether Nalande was lying to them or telling the truth, the fact that he was so arrogant at that time meant that under such circumstances, the Queen and the Prince must have had the advantage.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but worry about my relatives.
The next day, Li Yan'er found Xie Jiaojiao again, held her hand and said, "Aunt, I want to go back and see her."
Where to go back? Of course, back to the capital.
"Nalande said that my parents were all beheaded, but I don't believe it..." As she spoke, tears fell.
Xie Jiaojiao patted her hands: "But now is not the best time! Even if we go back to see him, we should wait until Ruonan's injury is healed. Otherwise, after all the trouble along the way, we don't know when his injury will heal!"
Li Yan'er hesitated to speak, but finally talked about this matter.
But in fact, even if she didn't say it, Xie Jiaojiao would still be preparing to go back...
They had been on the run for more than a month, and it would take another month to get back. If something really happened in the capital, it would be almost a foregone conclusion given the time.
In the following time, everyone was busy recovering from their injuries. Although Xu Shan and Zuo Cheng looked fine, they also had quite a few wounds on their bodies.
Not long after lunch that day, an acquaintance came to Du Liunian's store.
Gao Shen never expected to meet Xie Jiaojiao here.
She originally went to the shop in front to talk to Du Liunian, but unexpectedly she ran into Gao Shen who came to buy clothes for his family.
"Sister, when did you come to Mohe? Why didn't you send anyone to inform us?" Gao Shen said in surprise.
Xie Jiaojiao was also surprised when she looked at Gao Shen in front of her.
"Brother Gao, if I hadn't run into you today, to be honest, I wouldn't have known you lived in Mohe!"
Gao Shen then slapped his head and said, "Oh, look at me, at least I didn't tell the girl the detailed address."
Xie Jiaojiao shook her head, Gao Shen looked at her smooth belly again and asked: "Did the girl give birth?"
"A daughter was born!" Xie Jiaojiao said with a smile.
"Hello, my daughter! Hello, my daughter! Did you come alone? Weinan wasn't with you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Weinan came over.
