Lin Ruoyou clenched her hands nervously and murmured in a low voice: "In other words, the reason why your face is getting better is because of the spring water!"

The woman nodded hurriedly: "Yes, the spring water is warm to the touch, and the fish in it is also very sweet and the meat is fresh and tender. After I came down the mountain, I never had the chance to eat it again!"

Lin Ruoyou urged without hesitation: "Can you take me to that mountain forest?"

The woman lowered her eyes and said: "I can take you there, but there is no spring in that mountain forest. I have secretly visited it once before, but I didn't find it!"

Lin Ruoyou's originally rising hopes were suddenly shattered, and her body shook violently.

The woman quickly stretched out her hand to support her: "Princess, are you okay?"

Lin Ruoyou waved her hand: "I'm fine. No matter what, please take me there. Maybe the spring has moved and you didn't find it?"

The woman wanted to say that she had actually searched all over the mountain forest, but seeing the desire in her eyes, she could only swallow it back.

She nodded complicatedly: "Okay, I'll go with you!"

When the two of them came outside, the pawnshop owner came forward with a worried look on his face.

He asked in a low voice: "Are you crying?"

The woman shook her head: "It's okay, I just can't control my eyes. I didn't expect Lin'er to survive. I'm very grateful to the princess!"

The shopkeeper quickly said: "Yes, let's kowtow to her quickly!"

The woman stretched out her hand to hold him: "I want to go to Zhuangzi with the princess. There is something I didn't tell you. When I was a child, I had bruises on my face. At that time, I was regarded as a baby with an ominous grimace. If you can accept it, then accept it; if not, then send me a letter of separation, right?"

The shopkeeper suddenly reached out and covered her mouth: "Yue Niang, don't talk nonsense. How could I dislike you because of your past? It's not your fault. You have done nothing wrong since you married into my family. You are considerate of your husband. Be filial to your parents-in-law and give birth to children, you are a wise woman in our family!"

Yueniang sobbed sadly and threw herself into his arms.

The shopkeeper looked at Lin Ruoyou and said, "Make the princess laugh!"

Lin Ruoyou slowly shook her head: "No, you treat Yueniang very well!"

After saying goodbye, Yueniang took Lin Ruoyou into the mountain.

After walking for about an hour, we arrived at Zhuangzi where Yueniang lived when she was a child.

At this time, some villagers saw her and couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Is it Yueniang? Why are you back at this time?"

Yueniang came up to say hello: "I want to eat the wild fruits from the back mountain. The older I get, the more I miss that taste!"

The man sighed: "You kid, you are now the wife of a shopkeeper. There is nothing delicious in the city, so you have to look for those sour wild fruits!"

Yueniang lowered her eyes and smiled softly: "I will take people to look there first, and after I come out, I will go to the Zhuangzi to talk to grandma!"

Grandma quickly reminded: "Yue Niang, you must go down the mountain quickly before dark. Recently, a very powerful beast has appeared in the forest. It is extremely ferocious. Anyone who does not come out at night will be eaten by it until all bones are left." Got it!"

Yueniang trembled all over and looked at Lin Ruoyou subconsciously.

She said slowly: "It's okay, let's go back to Zhuangzi and settle down before dark!"

Yueniang nodded, then turned around and led the way.

The mountain road is rugged and very strenuous.

Lin Ruoyou didn't take much rest after giving birth.

Now that I have walked such a long way, I feel tired and panting.

Without saying a word, Xiao Sheng directly picked her up and hugged her sideways.

She didn't show any pretense and huddled safely in his arms.

It wasn't until she walked another incense stick that Yueniang pointed to the rocky beach covered with thorns and said, "That's it. When I was a child on the mountain, this area was the warm spring water. You know when it’s gone!”

Xiao Sheng walked over with Lin Ruoyou in his arms and carefully put her down.

She picked up a few stones, her face solemn and ugly.

She said worriedly: "It doesn't look like there was a spring here!"

Yueniang's face changed drastically, and she explained anxiously: "Princess, my daughter really didn't lie to you. When I came here, I washed my face here every day, and I lived in a cave not far over there!"

She pointed, and everyone looked in the direction and saw a narrow hole.

Xiao Sheng said suspiciously: "Is it because it has been too long that the underground spring has dried up? Let Tie Shi dig it up and see!"

Lin Ruoyou nodded: "This is the only way!"

Tie Shi brought the long sword and asked Tie Yun to join him.

However, the rocky beach was extremely hard, and within a moment, the long sword had already dug out gaps.

Tie Shi was a little discouraged. He frowned and said, "It doesn't look like there is an underground spring underneath. Have we found the wrong place?"

Tie Yun reprimanded in a low voice: "If the master asks you to dig, you can dig. Where did you get all this nonsense?"

Before Tie Shi could say anything, he heard a loud clang in his ears, and the sword was cut directly.

He spread his hands and said, "Okay now, the digging tools are gone. We can't dig with bare hands, right?"

Tie Yun turned to look at Lin Ruoyou awkwardly, his face full of uneasiness.

In fact, she also had a thought in her mind at this time, that is, maybe she really looked in the wrong place?

Lin Ruoyou understood what the two of them were thinking. She walked over quickly and reached out to twist the broken stones.

She put it to her nose and smelled it, her eyes gradually filled with light.

She shouted loudly: "Yue'er, come here quickly!"

Han Yue'er was looking around, and when she heard her voice, she quickly ran over.

She frowned and asked, "What's wrong? What did you find?"

Lin Ruoyou handed her the stone powder: "Smell it, what does it smell like?"

Han Yue'er wrinkled her nose, and after a moment she said in surprise: "Is it Dihuang Stone?"

Lin Ruoyou nodded heavily: "Yes, it should be that the spring water was full of rehmannia glutinosa and the geothermal heat, so all the marks on Yueniang's face were eliminated!"

Han Yue'er immediately frowned and said, "But there is no spring water now!"

Lin Ruoyou interrupted without hesitation: "Keep digging, the deeper you dig, you can always find it, and the rehmannia glutinosa now has such a rich flavor, it must be better than the previous treatment effect!"

After saying that, she took matters into her own hands.

Xiao Sheng quickly looked at Tie Shi: "Go to Zhuangzi to find some handy tools. Go back quickly!"

"Yes!" Tie Shi left in a hurry.

Not long after, he came back with some hoes.

After Xiao Sheng took it, he quickly asked Lin Ruoyou to rest nearby.

Yueniang murmured with some uncertainty: "Princess, can we really dig out another underground spring? It's getting dark, and I'm worried that it will attract evil beasts?"

Lin Ruoyou raised her eyes to look at the sky, and she quickly said: "Tie Yun, send Yueniang to Zhuangzi first!"

Yueniang's face changed suddenly, and she quickly shook her head: "No, the princess is my son's savior. How can I leave you? I will stay by your side and never leave!"

Seeing that she insisted on staying, Lin Ruoyou asked her to help get some dry firewood back.

It was definitely impossible to go back at night, so I had to use a fire to drive away the evil beasts.

The weather was short in the mountains, and the whole forest was already completely dark without much effort.

Lin Ruoyou lit a bonfire, illuminating the area around the stone beach.

Han Yue'er came back after finding some wild ginseng, shot pheasants, and cooked a large pot of thick hot soup.

After everyone drank it, they felt warm all over.

After Xiao Sheng regained his strength, he continued to jump down into the pit with iron stones. Now, the pit was dug about two people deep.

Lin Ruoyou and Han Yue'er helped clean up the rubble above, while Yueniang looked around vigilantly.

Around midnight, a series of crunching sounds suddenly came from Yueniang's ears.

She was so frightened that the hairs all over her body stood up, and she shouted tremblingly: "Princess, princess, something is coming around, it seems like it's coming from all directions!"

Lin Ruoyou quickly stopped moving and turned her head to look around cautiously.

This was an incredible sight, seeing green eyes everywhere, especially in the dark night, which looked extremely scary.

Han Yue'er even cried out. She squeezed out three words through her teeth: "It's a pack of wolves!"

Lin Ruoyou gritted his teeth secretly, but he was so unlucky that before the underground spring was dug out, he encountered a pack of wolves first.

She quickly shouted into the pit: "It's dangerous, come up!"
