Gasp! She's a Time Traveler Using Modern Tech to Improve Ancient Life-Chapter 263 - 260: Encountering Assassins on the Road

Chapter 263: Chapter 260: Encountering Assassins on the Road

The two elderly doctors that Xiao Chong brought definitely cannot leave, they are in their fifties or sixties, the round trip shaking for seven or eight hours would definitely threaten their lives.

With them keeping watch, Lin Juhua and the newborn are as safe as they can be.

Thinking of this, Lin Wanwan went to bid farewell to the Xu Family people.

To be safe, Lin Wanwan left some Golden Cod Fish Roe for Lin Juhua.

Although this thing is particularly valuable in modern times, a human life is more precious, Lin Wanwan is not reluctant at all.

If it is really used, it definitely means the postpartum hemorrhage situation was dangerous. If it’s not used... Hmm, they don’t know that this thing is expensive, would they return it to me?

Lin Wanwan was in a daze for a moment, then thought, it doesn’t matter, there will be opportunities to collect it later in the family.

In addition, Lin Wanwan also gave a bottle of Ginseng Nourishing Pill, which is suitable for someone as weak as Lin Juhua.

It would be best to send some food, dietary supplements are ideal. Looking at the poverty-stricken state of the Xu Family’s house, they definitely don’t have good food to nourish Lin Juhua during her confinement.

Lin Wanwan came in a hurry, with the sole intention of saving lives, and didn’t bring anything else. If Xiao Chong were not here, she could find an excuse to secretly go back to modern times to get things.

But as it stands, it’s better not to make any moves under Xiao Chong’s watchful eyes. After returning, she could send someone to bring the items over, which would express her sincere intentions.

After all, Lin Juhua was someone she rescued from the gates of hell, and the newborn was delivered by her own hands, her feelings are somewhat different.

The Xu Family people kept urging her to stay, traveling at night is very dangerous, although they don’t have a good place for the Village Lady and Ming Mansion to rest, it’s still better than traveling in the dark.

But Lin Wanwan insisted on leaving, and the Xu Family could not persuade her to stay, so they had no choice but to give up.

Xu Ada heard in the house that Lin Wanwan was leaving, and quickly came out to see her off.

Seeing Lin Wanwan, he directly knelt in the courtyard, giving a solemn bow.

Lin Wanwan didn’t bring male servants, so she couldn’t step forward to help him, only politely requesting him to stand up quickly.

No matter whether Xu Ada cared so much about Lin Juhua because wives are hard to come by, or because he was naturally kind and righteous, Lin Wanwan currently has a good impression of him.

As a man from Great Tang Village, it is rare that he would first concern himself with his wife after childbirth, rather than his newborn son, even in modern times it is seldom seen.

This time Lin Juhua’s difficult labor wasn’t particularly life-threatening, it was merely because of the lack of medical attention and medicine in the countryside that made it seem frightening.

Truly terrifying labor complications like amniotic fluid embolism are daunting even in modern times.

There are many cases of transitioning from natural to cesarean delivery, far more dangerous than Lin Juhua’s situation.

Lin Wanwan wanted to leave, and naturally, Xiao Chong would send her off. It was precisely because Xiao Chong would send her that the Xu Family didn’t insist on her staying.

The Xu Family’s Fourth Son originally wanted to accompany them, but was declined by Lin Wanwan.

She and Xiao Chong are both skilled and brave, and strong, not afraid of night travels. And Xiao Chong has Attendant Student with him, who is also quite powerful in combat.

Lin Wanwan didn’t know how high Attendant Student’s martial arts skills were, but just looking at his strong physique, ordinary people wouldn’t dare to provoke him.

Lin Wanwan estimated Xiao Chong’s height to be at least 1.9 meters, while Attendant Student, despite having a name that sounds like a refined scholar, is actually a robust man, with bulging temples, indicating profound inner strength.

Attendant Student is slightly shorter than Xiao Chong, but much more robust. From appearance alone, Attendant Student’s combat power seems higher.

On the way back, Lin Wanwan decided to take the mountain path — as it was much closer. Moreover, she didn’t ride a horse on the way here, so it wouldn’t be convenient to ride someone else’s horse back.

"Cousin, actually you don’t need to send me off, with the mountain trekking, your Crimson Horse might not handle it well."

Xiao Chong smiled lightly: "No worries, leave it to rest in this valley overnight, tomorrow it will return with Chen the Physician and the others, no need to say more, my decision is made."

Lin Wanwan refused several times in vain, and finally said: "Alright, if that’s the case, thank you, cousin, I’ll treat you to barbecue when we get home!" 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Xiao Chong laughed: "Alright."

The four of them hit the road without even taking a sip of water.

After seeing off the two nobles, the old woman of the Xu Family returned to the house with the untouched sweet egg soup, cheerfully said to Lin Juhua: "Child, drink this bowl of sweet egg soup to nourish yourself. We owe a great deal to the Lin Family Village Lady today, when you’re better, you must go with Ada to visit and thank her properly."

Lin Juhua naturally agreed.

Today, if it wasn’t for Lin Wanwan, she wouldn’t be alive. Just the medicine cost, the family couldn’t afford.

Xu Ada said: "Mother, Juhua, don’t worry, after some days I will go into the mountains to hunt for some good stuff."

"Great, as long as you have a plan. The Village Lady is a noble, she has everything, we can only send the good stuff from the mountains as gifts." Xu’s mother laughed as she went to see her eldest grandson.

As for the midwife, she had already received her fee and was arranged to rest.

Lin Wanwan dared to travel at night, but the midwife did not dare.

On the rugged mountain road, the night fell, the four walked quietly, with only the sounds of footsteps, and the sound of Lin Wanwan’s branch striking the ground.

The faint moonlight guided the way, and the occasional hoot of an owl accentuated the tranquility of the mountain.

The four crossed the highest point and reached a forest.

Just as they were about to enter, Xiao Chong suddenly whispered: "This forest is too quiet, seems unusual, Wanwan come over to my side."

Before Lin Wanwan could respond, a swooshing sound pierced the air, she hadn’t reacted before being pulled into Xiao Chong’s arms, avoiding an ambush narrowly.

Under the moonlight, the arrows shot into the ground reflecting a cold light.

"It’s an ambush!" Attendant Student quickly drew his Tang Blade, standing guard in front of Xiao Chong.

Xiao Chong quickly pulled Lin Wanwan’s wrist: "Let’s go, those are crossbow arrows."

At these words, the ambushers, seeming to know they had been exposed, suddenly rained arrows down like raindrops.

Lin Wanwan only heard the "ding ding dong dong" sound, being pulled back and forth like a puppet by Xiao Chong.

Thankfully, the literati and scholars of Great Tang have the habit of wearing swords, otherwise, at this moment they would be truly helpless without weapons.

In ancient times, crossbows were equivalent to modern firearms.

Lin Wanwan couldn’t understand, how could they suddenly encounter such an attack! But at this moment, she couldn’t afford to think too much, although she had great strength, she couldn’t possibly use her body as a shield, so she hid behind Xiao Chong’s sword.

Xiao Chong and Attendant Student wielded their swords and blades tightly, blocking this wave of ambush, after which the number of arrows in the forest decreased, the attack slowed.

As Attendant Student was about to enter the forest to counterattack, a sudden change occurred, from the grass behind Lin Wanwan sprang out something unknown, rushing straight towards her face.

Hua Nong screamed and lunged at Lin Wanwan, taking the attack for her.

Due to the extreme movement, the two fell to the ground, Hua Nong couldn’t stop her momentum and rolled forward twice, the cliff just beside.

Lin Wanwan was shocked, hurriedly rushed over and extended her hand to grab, barely catching it,

but unexpectedly the slope bottom there was hollow, with the weight of the two, it collapsed, the two instantly fell down together.
