Chapter 580 - What Happened Before (1/2)

It was late at night, and it was a rare opportunity for them to camp in the wild.

They did that in order to throw off the spies. Information went out fast in populated places.

Therefore, they had to take a route along which there were few inhabitants.

Although it was in late spring, it was still a little cold at night.

They lit a fire at the campsite. Lin Mengya had Long Tianyu’s cloak draped over her shoulders, and her white face looked differently delicate against the warm light of the fire.

“Stop staying outside and go back to sleep.”

Long Tianyu poured a cup of hot water from the stove and put it in Lin Mengya’s hand.

This time, they were well-prepared, so they got everything they needed even in the wild.

“It’s okay. I’ve slept for a whole day, so I’m not sleepy now. However, Xiu is not used to traveling in such a shaking carriage. She probably has fallen asleep now.”

Baili Rui and Xiu both slept in the carriage, while the rest of them slept in the simple tents they set up beside the carriage.

It was very quiet in the forest, so Lin Mengya didn’t have to worry about being ambushed.

She had not felt so peaceful for a long time.

“Well, you’ve been tired along the way. But the condition in Yunzhou is more difficult than that here. You have to get through a hard time.”

As Long Tianyu said apologetically, he gently held her into his arms.

“It doesn’t matter. I’m not here to enjoy life anyway. By the way, in Yunzhou, there are some places where I can go while you can’t. Don’t worry about me. My master has spent a lot of effort treating me, so this kind of poison can’t do any harm to me. I have an intuition that they will do harm to you.”

Baili Rui had indeed said that.

But he only said that Lin Mengya had a very special constitution, so ordinary poisons could not work in her body.

Only she knew that when she came here through time traveled, the poison deep-rooted in her body had mutated accidentally.

An ordinary person would have been dead a long time ago with such a poison in her body.

However, she was still alive and kicking. Even she couldn’t explain why.

Therefore, those poisons less potent than the poison in her body could do no harm to her.

However, she did not know how long she could hold on by fighting poison with poison.

“No, I can’t let you take the risk alone. By the way, I’m wondering if Mr. Baili has developed the antidote.”

Obviously, Long Tianyu didn’t want to continue talking about this.

Lin Mengya looked gentle and agreeable, but she was actually more steadfast than anyone else.

His constant opposition would arouse Lin Mengya’s rebellion.

After such a long time, Long Tianyu had gradually known about her character.

Lin Mengya sighed in her heart but had made up her mind at the same time.

“It actually has something to do with the teacher. However, the teacher still needs some time. I think after we get there, we should go with the teacher to see the patients who have been cured. The teacher also thinks that the doctor is probably not simple.”

This was exactly what Long Tianyu was thinking.

He nodded, and the two of them exchanged a few more words before Lin Mengya got up and walked towards the carriage.

“Thank you, Mengya.”

In the dim light, Xiao Yixin’s face was full of sincere gratitude.

Lin Mengya smiled and subconsciously glanced at Long Tianyu, who was standing by the fire and giving instructions to the others.

She was wondering what the guy had told Xiao Yixin so that Xiao Yixin showed such great gratitude towards her.

“Don’t mention it. In any case, you and my brother have been friends since childhood. Besides, the Xiao family is worth my help.”

She was so straightforward again that Xiao Yixin involuntarily smiled bitterly in his heart.

That was the way the members of the Lin family had always been. They would never hide their true intentions because of anything.

However, the more straightforward Lin Mengya was, the more he felt ashamed of himself.

After all, he didn’t deserve her.

“I… I know that. But I want to tell you something.”

Lin Mengya turned around and looked at Xiao Yixin in confusion.

Xiao Yixin looked at her seriously. What would it be?

“In fact, there was a secret behind the death of Aunt Lin. They all said that she died because she was deficient in vital energy and blood after exhausting her strength. However, my mother and Aunt Lin were very close friends. Before her delivery, she once told my mother that someone intended to hurt her.”

Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows and looked at Xiao Yixin.

She had never heard of this before.

“But since Aunt Xiao knows it, why didn’t she mention it to my father?”

When Lin Mengya spoke of this, Xiao Yixin showed a trace of helplessness on his face.
