For three days in a row, Wei Ruo attended classes with Mr. Wang Caiwei at Tianqin Garden in the morning, while in the afternoon, she, along with Xiumei, looked for suitable water sources around Government City.

Today was the fourth day, and Wei Ruo had ventured to the Xianqi Mountain to the north of Government City.

Wei Ruo’s estate was located north of Government City, and she hoped her chosen site would be as close to her estate as possible, so in recent times she had been searching for suitable places nearby.

“Miss, this place isn’t too far from our estate, however the path up the mountain is a bit difficult,” Xiumei said to Wei Ruo as they walked.

“Hmm, let’s go over there and take a look, that area appears to be somewhat flat.”

“Yes, miss.”

The two of them followed a small stream until they reached an area that was somewhat flat, the only such place they had seen along their journey.

The topography seemed to meet Wei Ruo’s expectations, however, the path into the region was difficult, and if they were to establish a small brewing factory here, transportation would become a major issue.

Wei Ruo went to the side of the creek that was overgrown with wild grass on both sides. Only where Wei Ruo and Xiumei stood had the wild grass been cleared away, likely by hunters or those chopping wood who needed access to water.

Wei Ruo planned to taste the spring water first; if it was indeed suitable for brewing, then she could overlook other constraints.

After all, she wanted to create high-quality wine to sell to the elites.

Wei Ruo crouched by the stream, cupping water in her hands. The creek’s water was exceptionally cold and felt like icy needles against her skin.

But Wei Ruo paid it no mind, preparing to take a sip. However, she suddenly noticed a trace of red in the creek.

A shallow red streak was dissolving in the water, completely diluted by the time it reached their location.

From years of practicing medicine, Wei Ruo keenly noticed something was wrong. She sprung to her feet, parting the wild grass and thorn bushes before her, heading upstream.

After climbing two metres, Wei Ruo found a man covered in blood, collapsed in the wild grass.

The man’s entire body, including his face, was slashed several times, as his thick winter clothing was soaked in blood.

“Miss…” Xiumei was frightened despite having already seen a lot by Wei Ruo’s side.

“Meimei, come and help, he’s still breathing,” Wei Ruo found the man was still alive after closer examination.

“Miss, let me do it. I’m stronger.”

Coming back to her senses, Xiumei immediately offered her strength and hoisted the wounded man onto her back.

Utilizing her exceptional strength and stamina, Xiumei carried the man down the mountain.

Their carriage was stationed at the roadside. After manhandling the man into the carriage, Xiumei took the reins, while Wei Ruo examined his injuries.

The man had numerous knife wounds, but luckily he was wearing thick clothing, which reduced the severity of the wounds. None were critical, otherwise, he would already be dead.
