A quarter of an hour passed, but the eldest grandson showed no sign of waking up after his fever subsided.

The old lady was about to lose her temper when she heard her son's excited voice.

"Mom, it's working, Dabao is sweating!"

"Really?"

As the old woman spoke, she reached her hand into her eldest grandson's back and found it was damp, with signs of sweating.

"He's saved, he's saved, my eldest grandson is saved!" The old woman excitedly circled around her eldest grandson.

Sure enough, after another quarter of an hour, the child's temperature slowly dropped.

People also woke up.

When he saw his father, he called out "Dad" weakly.

When the old woman saw that her eldest grandson had really woken up, she almost cried for joy.

This family almost broke up.

The two little girls also told their mother the good news. The woman endured the dizziness and came over to see that her son had woken up. She fainted again out of excitement.

The man and the two girls hurried to support the woman and began to pinch her Ren Zhong point.

Ignoring the chaos here, Li Song came back with a few children and firewood.

The women began to boil water and cook.

Today's ingredients include some vegetables and meat brought out by Li Youcai, and ten eggs brought out by Old Lady Jiang.

Several aunts boiled some water and put it in a jar on the side, planning to pour it into the water bags after it cooled down.

Another pot of brown rice was simmered.

When the rice was almost cooked, I fried some leeks and eggs, some radish and meat, and some dogwood and cabbage.

When the meal was almost ready, several uncles happened to come back.

They brought back a hare, two pheasants and a snake as thick as a child's arm.

Several people chatted and laughed as they put down the wild animals in their hands.

"The pheasants and rabbits in this forest are easier to hunt than those in our mountains. There are no such things in the mountains of our village now."

"Who says it isn't?"

Lin Heng poured some water for his brothers-in-law and asked them to wash themselves first. Their clothes were already completely wet.

After everyone washed up, they started to eat.

Several children had already gathered around the pot when cooking began.

Completely ignoring the heat from the fire and the sweat running down his face.

Although we didn't cook pheasants or wild rabbits, today's meal included eggs, meat and vegetables, which was already of very high standard. We hadn't eaten so well for a long time.

Everyone was very satisfied with the meal, and even the oily water at the bottom of the pot was rinsed with hot water added by a few uncles.

Everyone's bowls were cleaned with food, so there was no need to wash them afterwards.

Lin Ke put all the washed pots and pans into her own carriage, gave them to Xiaowei and asked her to put them in the dishwasher to wash them again.

The few people who knew the situation supported it, and the others didn't say anything more. From then on, all the pots, pans, and utensils were placed on the Lin family's donkey cart.

After finishing their meal, everyone planned to rest for a while and set off again when the sun was not so strong.

However, they didn't expect that two guards from the wealthy family on the other side were walking towards them.

Upon seeing this, Lin Heng and others immediately took full precautions.

You know, the guards of the wealthy families are all skilled in martial arts. Although the brothers-in-law have some skills, they are only limited to going into the mountains to hunt small prey.

When the leader saw them like this, he knew that he had scared the others.

He quickly threw the knife in his hand to the guards behind him and raised his hands to show them that he had no ill intentions.

Lin Heng and the others finally felt half relieved.

When the guard approached, Lin Heng asked, "May I ask what can I do for you, brother?"

"Brother, what's your last name?"

"My surname is Lin."

"Brother Lin, to be honest, we all saw you selling medicine to save people just now. The master's family has a young master who has a recurring high fever. The accompanying doctor has tried everything but is helpless. Our old lady loves her grandson very much, so she asked me to come here to ask for medicine."

Zhong Fu and the others didn't know what was going on and could only look at Lin Heng in confusion.

Lin Heng thought to himself, "It seems I was still careless."

However, he still said to the guard: "Since this brother has witnessed the previous scene, he must know that our medicine was sold to us by a strange man. Now there is only a little left, and we need to keep it to save lives."

"Our old lady is willing to pay a high price for the medicine, but we hope that you can bear the pain and give it up. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda."

"This……"

"We are willing to pay one hundred taels, no, two hundred taels, and hope that you can save our young master."

"I need to discuss this with my family. After all, this is a life-saving medicine."

"It's natural."

Lin Heng ran over and pretended to have a serious discussion with his mother and wife.

Only then did he agree with a painful look on his face.

The other people in the family who didn't know the truth looked distressed and didn't want to sell the medicine.

If his daughter hadn't hinted to him that he still had the medicine, he would never have agreed to sell it.

But now that we have these two hundred taels of silver, everyone can eat better, and my daughter won't have to suffer too much from them.

Pay in one hand and deliver in one hand.

Lin Heng took the two hundred taels of silver, poured half of the remaining potion and handed it to the visitor, and explained the usage and dosage.

The guard looked at the painful expressions on the faces of the other members of the Lin family and felt that the medicine was a good deal.

With only two hundred taels of silver, the young master recovered. It seems that his status in the master's family can be improved again.

Lin Heng did not rush to explain to everyone until the guard left.

Looking at the aura of those guards just now, Lin Heng realized another problem at this time.

It sounds like there are quite a lot of people among them, but the only able-bodied laborers are his four brothers-in-law and himself.

Although my brother-in-law is in his prime, he has always been a scholar and does not look very intimidating.

Although my father-in-law has some skills, he is old after all.

The others were either the elderly, women, children, or teenagers.

Fortunately, the two families they met today were relatively reasonable. If they had met unreasonable ones, or those who didn't care about their lives, they would have been killed in minutes.

They need to keep a low profile in the future, and incidents like today's medicine delivery must not happen again.

If you want your precious daughter's abnormality not to be exposed, you must not let her stand out along the way.

Then he has to become stronger to protect his family.

Obviously, Old Man Zhong had thought of the same question.

With a stern face, he called everyone together and said seriously, "From today on, all women must learn to drive mule carts. When the weather is cool, all men over twelve years old must get off the carts and walk behind the mule carts to exercise."

Everyone was very puzzled. Since they had bought a mule cart, why didn't they sit in it but get off and walk?

Lin Heng stepped forward to explain: "Today, our every move was spied on by the guards over there. Although we have some skills and can hunt a few rabbits, there are always people better than us.

The guards of a wealthy family are much stronger than ours.

If we met an unreasonable family today, who came to us not to discuss buying medicine with us but to rob us, we would have no power to resist at all.

If we were unlucky and encountered someone who kills people for treasure, you can imagine whether we would still be able to talk here now."
