Chapter 4, Immortal Brother (1)
Miss, I have never eaten anything this delicious, what is this
From a distance, I could see the flickering light coming from the dilapidated temple door. Not wanting to be discovered, I hesitated for a moment and quietly circled to the back of the temple, fearing that the little thief who had escaped might have also fled here.
As the voices of discussion erupted, some had already attempted to take the lead and act first
At this moment, the sound of discovering a small thief came from the vegetable garden. Lord Lin urgently ordered the guards to split into several groups, declaring that they would not rest until this thief was found
The young man was taken aback and no longer acted foolishly over his infatuation
Mo Ruofei furrowed her brows and said gently, "My book boy has sustained an injury on his back. Since we are not far from the Medicine Spirit Manor, I was just thinking of going to the manor at dawn to seek medical help"
I am a resident of Wangjing, and I have come to Yaoling Town for business. Due to the inn being fully booked, I can only make do with a night in the temple. May I ask what brings you here, my friend?" Mo Ruofei replied with a smile.
The cold wind rushed in through her mouth, and she coughed while bending over after letting out a loud shout with all her strength. Liu, the steward, heard the sounds of fighting coming from the temple and did not notice the burden that Buqi was carrying. He was highly skilled in martial arts, and as he swept past Buqi without touching the ground, Buqi was so captivated that she even forgot to cough.
The night was filled with heavy snowflakes falling like goose feathers, and the wind cut across her face like a knife made of fish scales. Not wanting to expose herself, she wrapped a cloth around her face and neck, but even with her hands tucked inside her sleeves, she could not fend off the wind that felt like fish scales, causing her teeth to chatter from the cold. She knew that if she did not find a place to warm herself soon, she might not survive until dawn. Remembering the frozen flower, Jiu, she held her breath and ran to the city god temple outside the town, hoping to escape this storm.
Sweet potatoes! How could a young master from a wealthy family possibly eat them
The sound of clanging echoed in the temple, resembling the noise of swords and knives falling to the ground. Not caring to watch the commotion any longer, Buqi took advantage of the chaos in the temple, crouched low, and stealthily made his way towards the exit.
She hurried to rummage through her bundle. The handsome man was roasting a rabbit, and she happened to have a few sweet potatoes on hand
This young man appears to be around eighteen or nineteen years old, yet he is surprisingly more beautiful than the Fourth Miss of the Lin family! He is draped in a pure white fox fur coat, which accentuates the jade pendant at his waist, making it look as vibrant as winter greens. What is a wealthy man who is more beautiful than a woman? He is a seductive demon that lures women across the world into sin! Beauty is present, and one can hardly refrain from bowing in gratitude to heaven for its benevolence. A time-traveling woman may lack beauty and wealth, but she will undoubtedly possess a unique privilege: encountering handsome men wherever she goes, and the beautiful men will be infatuated with her alone!

Yaoling Manor is the largest household in Yaoling Town. The manor existed before the town itself. More than half of the families in the town rely on Yaoling Manor for their livelihood. The Lin family's ancestral skill in miraculous healing has earned them considerable reputation in the martial world. Those who wander in the martial world inevitably face danger. Friends from the martial world are bound to get injured one day, and few would seek trouble with the Lin family without reason. Conversely, when there is an issue at Yaoling Manor, many are willing to come forward and offer assistance in times of need. The Lin family is grateful, as this provides them with an additional avenue of support.

Mo Ruofei saw that pair of pitch-black eyes disappear in an instant, and couldn't help but smile. Turning around, she saw several guards from the Lin residence entering the temple, holding torches.
Not abandoning the temple, she saw a firework ignite in the sky, knowing it was a signal for help. It wouldn't be long before more guards and experts from the Lin family would arrive. She looked back at the towering cliff behind the temple and exclaimed her misfortune. She wanted to run, but ended up being caught like a turtle in a jar by the guards of the Lin family.
Zhuang took the initiative and became truly furious, while the medicine spirit Zhuang became a chaotic mess. They gathered personnel, assigned routes, and lit torches to leave the village and catch the thief
After hastily asking Hua Buqi a few questions, the guard who had chased to the vegetable garden quickly left. After wandering around the small house a few times, Buqi picked up the begging bowl left by Hua Jiu, wrapped a few sweet potatoes, and simply packed some belongings into a bundle before escaping from Yaoling Manor through the dog hole
The thief who escaped at night was of similar age to the book boy, and according to Hua Buqi, he had also sustained an injury to his back. The guards were unwilling to listen to Mo Ruofei's explanation, and one of the guards shouted: "What a coincidence, it must be him!"
Standing on tiptoe and peering through the broken window, one could see a young gentleman and a person dressed as a book boy tending to a pile of fire while roasting a rabbit. Uncontrollable saliva surged forth.
What a natural way to strike up a conversation, highlighting the foolishness of the wealthy young master and the personality of the impoverished young woman! She naively imagines, as if she has already married into a wealthy family, holding a golden rice bowl in her hands
May I ask, young sir, from which place do you hail, and what brings you to the Medicine Spirit Manor? The leading guard, noticing that there were two individuals in the temple, observed that the young man was exceptionally handsome and dressed in an expensive fox fur coat, and could not help but become more courteous.
Having narrowly escaped a calamity, the girl let out a sigh of relief and sprinted in the opposite direction. Seeing people all around her, she finally glanced back at the temple with a sense of triumph, thinking to herself, "I’m sorry, handsome. Although you are very beautiful, I consider myself to be more important. By the time you clarify things, I will have already flown far away." She tightened the burden on her back and swiftly entered the mountains.
At that moment, she excitedly tightened her grip on a large sweet potato, just as she was about to execute her plan to attract men, when she saw a group of people approaching the temple with torches, causing her to quickly retract her head.
At that moment, the young attendant beside him coughed a few times. The guard took a look and saw that the young attendant, around fifteen or sixteen years old, was lying on a pile of grass, looking frail and sickly. Having spent a considerable amount of time at the Medicine Spirit Manor, the guard had some experience and could tell from the cough that the attendant was injured. He turned his head and shouted, "This attendant is injured!"
Indeed, one might be sneaking into the village to steal medicine, while another is outside providing support
Bound back to the village
The death of a dog alone would not provoke Lord Lin to great anger. When news arrived from the vegetable garden, the second master of the Lin family, who managed the medicinal herb garden on the mountain, also sent someone to report that a thief had broken in. The thief intended to steal medicine and nearly destroyed the Baihua Lengxiang Pill made for the concubine of Lord Huang, the governor. Lord Lin's eyes widened, and even the three long whiskers under his chin fluttered in the wind
At that moment, the young gentleman turned his head. Buqi was caught off guard and met his gaze directly.
It was indeed surprising that a thief broke into the Medicine Spirit Manor, which naturally alarmed the manor's owner, Lord Lin.
Young master, may I borrow a light to fend off the snow at this distant place?
The sensation of that little thief's icy fingers still lingered on her neck, and the chilling voice of that little thief echoed in her ears. Not wanting to wait for others to come to the Medicine Spirit Manor to seek revenge, Buqi thought it would be better to slip away while she had the chance. After all, in the eyes of the Lin family at the Medicine Spirit Manor, she was merely a beggar girl who had gained a chance at life through the Lin family's grace.
The unfortunate person finds even cold water hard to swallow! She unexpectedly ran into Liu, the steward of the Lin residence, who was rushing over. Without hesitation, Lingji had a sudden idea and pointed towards the temple, shouting: "Steward Liu, that little thief is injured in the temple! He has an accomplice!"
Upon hearing this, the guards outside the temple rushed in with their swords drawn, surrounding the two individuals completely
