The Transmigrated Farm Girl Has a Cheat Code

Chapter 66 Knocking at Night

After obtaining the Ganoderma lucidum, Lin Yan crossed two more mountains to return home. By the time she arrived, it was already evening, and her father had just picked up Lin Yu from the house.

Lin Yu excitedly inspected the progress of the new house again, something he did every day after school.

Looking at the darkening sky, Lin Yan couldn't help but silently mourn for the three people still in the mountains. She wondered when they would be able to get out of there, and they would probably have to camp out in the mountains, where there were still some wild animals.

However, these matters were not Lin Yan's concern. After all, those two men surnamed Chen should be quite skilled in martial arts. She had noticed this when she last met Chen Feng; he practiced internal martial arts. If it weren't for her special abilities, she definitely wouldn't be able to defeat Chen Feng.

Lin Yan's guess was quickly confirmed. That night, while the Lin family was fast asleep, they heard someone knocking on the door.

"Is anyone home here? I'll go ask!"

"Maybe we shouldn't bother others. It's just some external injuries, nothing serious! Showing up at someone's door at this hour will only arouse suspicion."

Hearing the intermittent sounds of conversation outside, Lin Yan sat up abruptly.

She twitched her ears, listening to the sounds outside, and murmured, "It really is here!"

The people speaking outside were Xiao Jingzhi and the three Chen brothers. The three of them had not planned to cross the mountain at night and wanted to find a cave to rest in for the night. However, they encountered a pack of wolves. The two brothers were skilled in martial arts and were able to deal with the wolves, but Xiao Jingzhi tripped and injured his leg while running.

The two brothers dealt with the wolf pack and, not wanting to delay any longer, carried Xiao Jingzhi on their backs and traveled through the night, intending to check Xiao Jingzhi's wounds once they reached a place with people.

Chen Shuo looked at the pile of bricks, tiles, and timber outside the small thatched hut and guessed, "This place must be occupied. With so many things outside, someone must have stayed here overnight!"

Chen Feng was straightforward; he stepped forward and said, "I'll go ask!"

"Ouch! Hiss!" Xiao Jingzhi wanted to stop Chen Feng, but his leg throbbed with pain again.

Chen Shuo quickly supported him, his face filled with worry: "Your Highness! Are you alright?"

After a moment, Xiao Jingzhi comforted Chen Shuo, "It's alright, it's alright! I only have superficial injuries, nothing serious. But you, were you arrested when you saved me?"

It was pitch black all the way, and Xiao Jingzhi couldn't see Chen Shuo's face. However, when Chen Shuo was distracted while fighting with the wolf pack, Xiao Jingzhi thought he heard him cry out in pain.

"I'm fine!" Chen Shuo replied. He had been scratched by the wolf, but since he had internal energy, he didn't feel anything.

Xiao Jing knew his health was poor and he had always been pampered. He knew he couldn't delay treatment for his injury; he should at least boil some water and treat the wound.

Lin Yan overheard the three talking inside the house, and then heard Chen Feng walking towards the thatched hut. She couldn't help but sigh. What a tragic fate! But these three people really made things difficult for themselves.

Sure enough, soon there was a knock at the Lin family's door: "Fellow villager? Is anyone home?" Chen Feng called out.

Lin's parents also opened their eyes groggily. Lin's mother asked, "Brother Hai, does it sound like someone is knocking on the door?"

"Knock knock knock! Hello, is anyone home?" The knocking sounded again.

Lin's mother was a little scared and grabbed Lin's father's arm.

Mr. Lin patted her hand, sat up, put on his clothes, and prepared to open the door. "I'll go see!"

"Brother Hai, be careful."

Mr. Lin nodded, picked up a wooden chisel from the doorway, and opened the door.

But at the door stood a young man, not very old, with a kind and handsome appearance; he didn't seem like a bad person.

"you are?"

“Fellow villager, we took our young master hunting and got lost in the mountains. Our young master fell and injured himself. Do you have any medicine at home? We would like to borrow some. We can pay you!” As he spoke, Chen Feng took out a ten-tael silver note from his pocket and handed it to Lin’s father.

Looking behind him, Lin's father saw a young man supporting a well-dressed gentleman. The fabric was of fine quality, and the embroidery was even faintly visible under the moonlight. Such attire couldn't possibly belong to robbers. Seeing that Chen Feng didn't seem like a bad person, Lin's father lowered his guard a bit. He nudged the silver in Chen Feng's hand, "No need to pay! Come in! I have some medicine at home!"

Chen Feng's face lit up with joy, and he thanked him repeatedly, "Thank you! Thank you!" Then he turned around and helped Xiao Jingzhi up with Chen Shuo.

Lin's mother, now dressed, came out and asked, "Brother Hai, what are these people doing?"

Lin's father said, "He said he got lost while hunting in the mountains and fell and injured himself!"

"Going into the mountains to hunt? There are so many wild animals in these mountains, why would they go into the mountains! Judging from their clothes, they seem to be from a wealthy family. They don't seem like bad people." Lin's mother said, puzzled.

“It’s precisely because they’re rich that they’re so hard to understand! Why don’t you go and wait in Yan’er’s room for a while?” Lin’s father said.

Lin's mother nodded in understanding and turned to go into Lin Yan's room.

Chen Feng and Chen Shuo helped Xiao Jingzhi into the house, and Lin's father found him a chair to sit down.

Only then did Lin's father get a clear look at the young man. He was gentle and refined, a handsome gentleman. Although his face was pale and he looked a bit weak, he was incredibly good-looking, truly like a character from a book. Lin's father stared at him, dumbfounded, for quite a while.

Chen Feng lifted Xiao Jingzhi's trouser leg to take a look and found that in addition to the abrasions, there was also a large gash on the knee, which looked quite frightening.

Chen Shuo looked anxious and distressed.

Mr. Lin was shocked. "How could it be so serious? Could the bones be broken?"

"No! I don't think I broke any bones. I can still move my leg, it just hurts a little."

Chen Feng said with a serious expression, "Young Master, let me check. Please bear with it."

As he spoke, Chen Feng gently pinched Xiao Jingzhi's calf bones, and his expression relaxed a little: "Luckily, no bones were broken."

"Chen Shuo, go boil some water. Uncle, could you please get some medicine for your injuries?"

Lin's father quickly nodded, "Okay!" Then he stopped Chen Shuo and said, "I'll have my wife boil the water. You're not familiar with this."

Chen Shuo nodded, "Then I'll trouble you!"

Lin's father went to find medicine for his injuries and asked Lin's mother to boil some hot water. When he entered the room, he found that Lin Yan and Lin Yu were already awake and talking to Lin's mother.

"Yan'er, Yu'er, were you two woken up too?"

"Father! How's it going outside?"

"That young master suffered some external injuries, but fortunately no bones were broken. Let's apply some medicine to treat them first, and take them to the county to get them checked out tomorrow morning!"

"Also, A-Yun, the person outside has a rather large wound. We need to boil some water to clean it. Go and boil some water. I don't think that young master looks like he'd be good at any work."

Lin's mother stood up and nodded, "Okay!"

Seeing that the two had left, Lin Yan lay back down on the bed. She didn't plan to show herself anymore. It would be best if the three of them left for the county tomorrow morning.

Lin Yu, however, was somewhat curious: "Sister, what do the people who came outside look like? Let's go and see!"

Lin Yan glared at him: "You better go back to sleep!"

"Hmph!" Lin Yu didn't dare to argue and walked away with a pout.

The sounds of activity outside didn't stop until late into the night.
