They were in charge of being beautiful, and she was in charge of taking the hits.

Chapter 102 Two Years Less Struggle

The men exchanged a vicious smile, stepped forward and held a knife to Wu Ziyan's neck, while another man lifted the carriage curtain and dragged Han Yuxiu out as well.

Judging from their eye color and hair color, Wu Ziyan knew they were not citizens of the Wu Dynasty. He also roughly knew where this calamity had come from.

I was so tired during the conversation that I blurted everything out without caring whether there was any curfew around.

These people must have overheard their conversation, which is why they waited until the general's mansion left before making their move.

Han Yuxiu wasn't nervous at all. Although the men who had captured them looked fierce, they appeared weak and unsteady on their feet, which was a sign of dehydration.

"Look, there's even a beauty here!"

"Isn't this Dr. Han who went to the epidemic area to treat patients?"

One of them seemed rather dim-witted; his very words gave them away. It appeared they had also come from the epidemic area, hoping to find a way to make a living in the town.

Hearing about such a good thing that could make you rich and cure your illness, I took a big risk and saved myself 20 years of hard work.

After checking that no one was at the alley entrance, the group put sacks over the two of them, carried them away, and left. Wu Ziyan and Han Yuxiu did not struggle, so they did not knock them unconscious.

Being carried on someone's shoulder and bounced around was really uncomfortable, but Wu Ziyan was so sleepy that she could fall asleep even when someone was carrying her. After a while, the person carrying her could even hear her soft snoring.

She is a serious person at heart.

They didn't know how long they walked, but they were taken to a desolate wilderness. All around them were patients dressed in tattered clothes, their lips cracked and wrinkled. They watched as they brought back two people, but they were too lazy to move.

When they arrived at the scene, the two were thrown to the ground. One of them rubbed his shoulder and said, "Damn it, I've lost all my dignity! And she was even asleep!"

Upon hearing this, Han Yuxiu's lips twitched. Wu Ziyan could actually fall asleep under these circumstances!

The group quickly tore open the sack. Wu Ziyan blinked. The weak people around her stared at each other. She looked at Han Yuxiu and was surprised to find that he was also calm.

"Big sister, now that we've tied them both up, how are we going to negotiate with the people over there?"

"How stupid! Make them write a letter with money to ransom them, and they also have to hand over that damn medicinal spring to us!"

"Yes, eldest sister."

Wu Ziyan subtly moved closer to Han Yuxiu, and his men didn't do anything to them. Two of them stayed behind to keep an eye on them, while the rest went to find writing materials or did other things.

"Write! Don't take advantage of our illiteracy!"

Wu Ziyan and Han Yuxiu: [This guy is stupid.]

This matter is very important. Anyway, she won't die, and they don't seem to be trying to harm them.

The letter was written at the front, asking them to bring money to save people, and it contained some hidden messages. It didn't seem wrong, so they took the letter.

They threw the two of them into the sheep pen to the side, and a stench hit them. Fortunately, there was a cover, so they wouldn't have nowhere to hide when it rained.

"This is a matter of great importance; you shouldn't have written a letter asking for help." Han Yuxiu didn't see the hidden meaning in the letter.

But Wu Ziyan didn't expect Han Yuxiu to be so open-minded: "If we don't ask for help, the two of us might die."

"But this is a job that the person above you went through a lot of trouble to give you. Don't you want to gain a foothold in the imperial court?"

Wu Ziyan was truly moved. She never expected that Han Yuxiu would still be thinking of her at such a critical moment of life and death.

Wu Ziyan leaned against Han Yuxiu: "As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood. Besides, I can't bear to see you die."

"rhetoric!"

Just then, someone outside banged on the fence: "Quiet down, what are you whispering about!"

When you're on someone else's turf, you have to be pragmatic. They stopped talking and just quietly huddled together.

This reminded Han Yuxiu of the scene when they were gathering herbs on the mountain, but this time Chu Qiu was not there to save them.

As he was still feeling melancholy and sighing, Wu Ziyan began to snore softly again. He closed his eyes, leaned against the hard fence, and wrapped his arms around Wu Ziyan, afraid that she would bump into something.

Logically speaking, their postures should be reversed. Right now, Wu Ziyan is acting like a man, without any spirit. Even those who are sick on the side are talking about it in secret when they see them acting like this.

"Look at that woman, she's really outrageous!"

"Cough cough, yes, it's really unfair to make the man suffer while you sleep!"

Han Yuxiu pretended not to hear, but he actually liked the feeling of being protected.

The next day, Wu Ziyan touched a spot and felt it was extremely hot. It turned out that she had been restless in her sleep and had put her hand on someone's chest.

Even if she was shy, this attitude was abnormal. Wu Ziyan woke up with a start, looked around, and saw that there was no one around, and the people who kidnapped them had not returned.

At this moment, Han Yuxiu was unconscious. Her face was flushed and hot, and her limbs were also burning. She was also weak all over. She struggled to sit up and shook Han Yuxiu, but there was no response.

[It's so hot, I hope it doesn't burn his head!] "A doctor can't heal himself!"

She left the sheepfold first, looked around, and good heavens, there was nothing left, not even a human hair.

"Hey, someone come quick!"

No one responded. They all ran away last night after hearing the news that drinking water could cure diseases. The kidnappers who sent the message were caught, and the rest of the group are mixed in with the crowd, preparing to cause trouble.

So they were obviously forgotten here. You can't find them anywhere in the vast wilderness. They carried them for so long, so they must be in the territory of the Northern Desert.

There's no other way. The most urgent thing right now is to cool down Han Yuxiu, but there's no water here. We need to alleviate his symptoms at least a little.

Wu Ziyan was not very strong. She dragged Han Yuxiu out of the sheepfold. It was only a short distance, but she was already covered in sweat. She patted Han Yuxiu's face again, unwilling to give up.

"Wake up!"

His breathing has become very slow. Wu Ziyan is a little scared. She looks at the grass on the ground and sees that she can't squeeze any water out of it.

We still insisted on dragging him along for a while, since so many people were walking in that direction, trampling the grass into crooked shapes.

But after walking two miles, with the sun blazing down, Wu Ziyan was parched. Han Yuxiu's eyes darted around, and he uttered a single word: "Water..."

They went to get him some water, complaining as they wondered why Xiao Si hadn't sent anyone to rescue them yet.

Xiao Si and Du Lan both sent their own people to search for the two of them. If anything happened to them, they would both lose their heads!
