Thankfully, the weather was hot, and the trash in the pit had dried out completely. It only took a tiny spark to ignite it all.

They did indeed find Huang's body inside, and it was burned by Dean Qin himself.

As the fire grew larger and hotter, it seemed unlikely to die down anytime soon. He walked up to Fang Jinshu's side.

"There are no bandits plaguing the town anymore, I can come collect my ashes anytime. I really apologize for wasting all your time accompanying this old man of mine in doing these things."

"No more, I'll go back with you first."

Fan Jinshu nodded, "Alright, let's go."

Before leaving, she left a portion of the food supply at the town entrance and put up a sign there.

This is the ration left for the townsfolk who survived, hoping they can find a new way to live after receiving the food.

On the way back, everyone was quite tired and didn't say a word. Soon, the ox cart arrived at the foot of Yemou Mountain.

Zong Yu and Zong Bai, brothers, jumped out of the car. "Teacher," they said, "Our home is in the mountains. The oxcart can't go up there, so we have to walk."

Neither Dr. Qin nor the girls had any complaints. At this point, even if they did, no one dared to speak up. If they were abandoned, they would be left with no other choice but death.

Qin Qianqian was still asleep. No woman here could have the strength to carry her up the mountain, not even Fang Jinshu.

Having no other choice, I had to discuss with Dean Qin and ask Zong Yu or Zong Bai to carry Miss Qian back.

I hope he doesn't mind.

In ancient times, there were many rules governing interactions between men and women. Even Qin the Elder, usually a very careful person, paid close attention to the principle of avoiding inappropriate contact between genders.

But now is not the time for him to be concerned with rules and regulations, rules are made to be broken, people live.

Besides, the two brothers are kind-hearted and wouldn't take advantage of a young woman.

Dr. Qin readily agreed without much hesitation.

Fang Jinxiu originally wanted to ask Zong Yu to carry it, as he was physically fit. Zong Bai would have to take care of Dean Qin along the way.

She has to take care of four girls.

Then Zong Bai, that kid, suddenly ran to Qin Qianqian's side.

"Sister-in-law, Qianqian and I are old acquaintances after all. Let me carry her back. When she wakes up, she probably won't be too angry."

"Big brother, please take care of Teacher for me."

The young man's thoughtful gesture made Fang Jinshu couldn't help but smile.

This kid, she's not even capable of getting jealous over this much.

Miss Qianqian is still injured.

Zongyu then patted his younger brother's shoulder heartily, with a look of approval. Without saying a word, he walked over to院長 Qin's side.

"President Qin, I carry you."

He bent down directly and manually lifted President Qin onto his back, effortlessly.

Zong Bai also hurriedly carried Qin Qianqian on his back, the two brothers one in front and one behind protecting the five women in the middle.

Fan Jinshi set off with the young ladies to climb the mountain.

Walking mountain roads at night is a bit creepy, but several girls unexpectedly moved quickly, and none of them uttered a complaint.

It was already dark in the morning, and Mu with Zong Yulian paced anxiously back and forth at the entrance of the courtyard. Chang He and Tie Zhu were also there.

Su Yusheng, accompanied by several guards, had not left Zong Yu's home since the afternoon.

"We can do this, big brother and second brother, as well as sister-in-law, how come they haven't returned yet They won't really have run into bandits, right!" Yu Lian got anxious and blurted out her worries.

Mu's face paled.

She quickly changed her tune, "Tut tut tut! Look at my unlucky mouth, Mother, don't worry. Big brother and sister-in-law, and second brother, they will surely return safely."

"Wasn't Big Brother just fine when he came back last time"

"He must have been temporarily delayed by something. He's definitely fine."

Mu peered intently down the path, her handkerchief crumpled in her hand from nervous anticipation.

Su Yusheng was also worried, but he always felt that with Fang Shenyi's intelligence and Zong brother's skills, they shouldn't encounter too troublesome problems.

Most people can't harm them.

Unless there are some special circumstances.

Chang He and Tie Zhu had been waiting impatiently for a long time, “Forget it, staying here and waiting will only make us anxious. Let’s go down the mountain for a while and take a look.”

Perhaps Brother Zongyu and the others are on their way back. Let's go out to greet them.and. He thought to himself, if she wanted money, why didn't she just ask him directlySu Yusheng lightly coughed twice and said, "You might as well sell the wild boar to me."He turned to Fang Jinshu an...
