Zhao Xi went to the courier station much later than them. After all, he had waited there for a long time before he was lucky enough to meet a convoy to take him.
After arriving at the relay station, he asked about the leader of the officers.
At that time, the leader had just woken up and was said to have vomited for a long time.
When no one was paying attention, Zhao Xi secretly went to see him and re-diagnosed him. Then, he prescribed him some medicine and asked him to get someone to catch him. He also asked about the situation.
Only then did they know that after the soldier had crashed into the mule carriage, he had not stopped at all. He had only scolded them before continuing to ride away.
He had left, but the exiles were in a state of chaos.
Madam Hou and the Sixth Young Lady were injured, but fortunately, they were fine. The leading officer was unconscious, but his life was saved. The key was Shu Yu, who was taken away by the crazy mule. She didn’t know where she went, but she probably didn’t make it.
A few soldiers searched the nearby area, but it was fine if they didn’t find anyone.
The group suffered heavy losses, but the rest of the Shu family were still fine. This time, they finally held their heads high and gloated for a long time.
Zhao Xi came out to look for them this morning. He followed the traces of yesterday and saw the signal left by Meng Yunzheng. After half a day, he was exhausted.
He sat on a stool and poured himself a glass of water. As he drank, he said, “But even though the leading officer was injured, they didn’t dare to delay the journey. Because they had been delayed for half a day yesterday, they had to speed up now. They set off early this morning. The leading official was placed on a cart by them, so Madam Hou and her daughter could only walk.”
As he spoke, he glanced at Meng Yunzheng and asked Shu Yu, “What about you? What do you plan to do?”
“Let’s recuperate first.” Meng Yunzheng replied, “When you’re better, go back to the courier station and ask the courier station to send a letter to the official.’
Zhao Xi pursed his lips. “That’s good too.”
They temporarily stayed in this small town. With Zhao Xi around, Shu Yu t s
injuries healed quickly.
In just two days, the wounds were almost healed.
The only thing she had to pay attention to was her right hand. Although it had been reattached, it was best to be careful to use it normally in the future.
After staying in the small town for three days, Shu Yu decided to catch up with the exile team, lest she be delayed when the Shu family was about to reach the southwest.
Meng Yunzheng still felt that the time was a little short, but she insisted. In the end, he did not say anything. The three of them packed up and headed to the nearest courier station.
Shu Yu changed back into her prison uniform, put on her handcuffs, and appeared at the entrance of the courier station.
After giving them some travel expenses, the courier station naturally sent people to chase after the exiles in front.
After this chase and return, it took another two days. Shu Yu peacefully stayed in the relay station to continue recuperating.
Two days later, one of the officers returned.
The one who came was not the leading officer. It was said that although his injuries were no longer serious, it was not suitable for him to travel like this.
Thus, the person who came was the officer who had some relationship with Madam Hou.
When he saw Shu Yu, he was also very surprised. “1 heard that you’re still alive, but I didn’t quite believe it. I didn’t expect you to look so good. Did you break your hand?”
Shu Yu nodded with a bitter smile. “It was also good luck. At that time, the mule rushed into the forest like crazy. The prison carriage broke down. I rolled out from inside and rolled down the hill. I fainted on the spot. I didn’t expect to meet a doctor who came to the mountains to pick herbs and saved me..”
