Wen Jiao steps forward, gripping the young boy’s hand, “Then you should be careful, I’m scared.”

The young boy soothes, “Stick to the cliff, there will be no problems.” As long as you overcome your fear, the plank road is navigable.

Wen Jiao nodded, cautiously stepping onto the plank road.

The young boy leads Wen Jiao slowly, and quickly enters the mountain cave.

The moment she enters the cave, the little girl sighs and quickly gives a thank you, “Thank you, brother.”

Chen Boyuan waves his hand, “No need to be polite, it was nothing.”

Yingbao’s gaze passes over them before he looks down at the scene below.

Brother Jiang Cheng arranges the grandparents, holds a torch with his younger brother Jiang Quan sticking to the cliff, and slowly moves down the mountain, preparing to bring up food from the horses and mules.

Yingbao secretly follows them down the mountain.

“Yingbao, stop messing around! Go back up!” Jiang Cheng turns his head and sees his little cousin following them, frowning and scolding.

Yingbao, “I’ll watch the mules and horses for you.”

Jiang Cheng glares at his little cousin, “You don’t need to! Go back now!”

“I want to go.” Yingbao doesn’t want to argue with him.

Her two large iron pots hidden in the cave must be taken out, but not under the watchful eyes of all in the cave.

Jiang Cheng grits his teeth, if he wasn’t standing on the narrow plank road, he would have slapped her.

Seeing that they had already walked halfway, he reluctantly let her go.

The three siblings quickly descend the mountain path and come to Wen Fu.

As soon as Mrs. Lin sees Jiang Cheng and Jiang Quan, her eyes light up and she quickly approaches, “You are here to take us up, right?”

Yingbao interrupts before Jiang Cheng can speak, “We have other things to do and don’t have time to escort people. Mrs. Lin, you must go up yourself.”

Reflecting on the depiction in the book, Yingbao immediately loses any good impression of this Lady Wen.

In the book, she ordered Brother Jiang and Second Brother Jiang to work to death for her and her three daughters. Mrs. Lin was really bold.

She is not a real child, so her analysis of the plots in the book does not follow a child’s logic.

So as long as she is here, Mrs. Lin should not count on Brother Jiang and Second Brother Jiang.

Mrs. Lin did not expect this little girl to speak in such a way, she was annoyed. “Yingbao, how dare you speak to your elders like that?”

Yingbao tilts her head, “I’m telling the truth, Mrs. Lin, the mountain path is narrow. If you fall, both of us will lose our lives.”

She covertly pulls on Brother Jiang’s sleeve, not allowing him to accept.

Jiang Cheng was initially inclined to agree, but seeing his cousin’s determination, it would be awkward to dismantle her situation. He had no choice but to apologize: “I’m sorry, Mrs. Lin, the mountain path is narrow. We dare not take people up casually. Could you think of another way?”

Angered, Mrs Lin flounces away.

Yingbao grinned, whispering, “Big brother, second brother, this Mrs. Lin is very cunning. We just need to take care of our own people. Besides, she has three servants. We shouldn’t be bothered by her.”

Jiang Quan agrees, “Indeed, with three servants, she certainly shouldn’t rely on us to help her and her daughter. We’re not gods with three heads and six arms, can we fly them up?”

Moreover, Lady Wen’s delicate daughter was really unreliable. She refused to walk up the plank road even with a servant’s help. She endlessly kicked and hit the servants, eventually laying down and refusing to walk.

If she were to throw a tantrum on this narrow plank road, even a god would be kicked down by her.

Jiang Cheng nods, turning to greet Wen Fu, “Uncle Fu, let’s move the rice.”

A bag of rice weighs at least a hundred or so jin, it’s impossible for one person to carry it up due to its weight, so it must be split into ten or twenty jin bags and moved up like ants moving house.

Wen Fu nods and unhooks the grain bag from the mule’s back.

Jiang Quan uses his bag to contain the rice. Carrying one in front and one behind should enable him to carry twenty or thirty jin of rice. Jiang Cheng then uses an empty sack to separate the rice.

Seeing the three men busy, Yingbao says: “I’ll stay here to watch the mules.”

Jiang Cheng handed a torch to Yingbao, “Be careful then.”

A few torches were already stuck in crevices along the cliff, burning brightly. He didn’t need the one in his hands for now, and he hoped it would boost his little cousin’s courage.

Luckily the rain wasn’t too heavy, so it didn’t put out the torches. Yingbao used the torch to light the way for Brother Jiang Cheng and the others, urging them to hurry up and load the grain.

Lin and Wen Tian finally stepped onto the pathway. Surprisingly, it was the Clan Leader’s physically weak grandson coming to fetch them.

Yingbao gave them a glance and then stopped paying attention.

However, not long after, Wen Tian shrieked, followed by the yells of young men and the sound of pebbles tumbling down the cliffside.

“Oh no, someone fell down!” Several people ran out of the cave, shouting in alarm.

On the pathway midway up the cliff, a young man was hanging on, struggling to climb back up.

But the path was slippery and had no handholds, and the youth failed several times.

The women standing next to him seemed to be frightened into paralysis, not reaching out to help him.

“Boyuan!” Chen Clan Leader’s daughter-in-law screamed in panic, rushing forward to save her son but was held back by the crowd.

Two men quickly moved towards the youth, wanting to help him.

But before they could reach him, the boy had already fallen.

Han Miaoniang screamed out loud and then collapsed on the spot.

Yingbao had also seen all this. When Wen Tian screamed, she reflexively looked over and saw Wen Tian unsteady on her feet, pushing Chen Boyuan unintentionally.

While she managed to regain her balance, the frail Chen Boyuan lost his footing and slipped off the path due to her push.

This Wen Tian really is a disaster. Thankfully, I didn’t let Brother Cheng help her.

Yingbao silently cursed. Before she could check on the situation down the cliff, she saw Wen Fu and Brother Cheng running down towards the cliff with torches, followed by Jiang Quan.

With everyone gone, Yingbao placed her torch at the entrance of the mountain path. Looking around and seeing no one, she took out a large iron pot from the cave and placed it on the ground.

Then she took out two quilts and piled them on top of the iron pot.

At this time, chaos broke out on the pathway. After hauling Wen Tian and Lin up to the cave, people descended again to look for Chen Boyuan.

Finally, Chen Boyuan was hoisted from the cliff by Wen Fu and others, one of his legs twisted abnormally, and he had fallen unconscious.

“Yingbao, do you still have medicine?” Jiang Cheng asked his little cousin.

Yingbao: “I do have a bit, but it can’t treat broken legs.”

The youth’s leg was clearly fractured. No matter how magical her medicine is, it can’t mend his broken limb.

“If it can keep him alive, that’s enough.” Jiang Cheng said.

This youth was about his age. Jiang Cheng felt greatly melancholic, feeling deep sympathy.

Yingbao took out ten medicinal pills from her small pouch and handed them over: “My medicine is very expensive, each pill is worth two taels of silver, ten pills are twenty taels, Brother Cheng, you should clarify this with them.”

Hum, when she had treated Chen Zhu with her medicine before, the Clan Leader’s daughter-in-law had made sarcastic remarks, calling her a money-grabbing child who was fooling her in-laws with fake stuff.

So she had raised the price of her medicine. If it was too expensive, they could choose not to buy it.

Jiang Cheng took the pills, “Alright, I will discuss the price with grandfather.”

Actually, he didn’t approve of his little cousin demanding money upfront, but he knew the medications she had were valuable.

He had himself recovered from a serious head injury after taking her pills, he knew this better than anyone else.

So even if he didn’t approve, he needed to clarify the price of the pills with grandfather.

Inside the cave, Han Miaoniang held her son and started wailing. She was so breathless that she almost fainted. “My son…hic…”

Sun, the elder sister-in-law, rubbed her back while comforting her, “Stop crying, Physician Wen said it’s just a broken leg, there’s no other harm.”

Upon hearing these words, Han Miaoniang rolled her eyes and fainted.
