Chapter 58 Twins

With Lü Xinyan and Lü Daquan carrying the stretcher, the whole family quickly returned to their thatched hut at the foot of Lianyun Mountain.

Both Lü Xinyan and Lü Daquan were very strong, making their journey on the mountain path much smoother than when Lü Muyi carried them.

However, during the descent, Lü Daquan kept a close eye on his daughter Lü Xinyan. Whenever she showed signs of fatigue, he would immediately stop them, let them rest, and have someone else carry the stretcher.

As a result, he himself felt tired and somewhat exhausted after walking all the way, but his daughter, Lü Xinyan, remained steady and had exceptional strength and stamina, even more so than her father.

Even though he hadn't eaten much for several days and his physical strength and energy had indeed declined significantly, Lu Daquan still felt very embarrassed when compared to his daughter, Lu Xinyan.

He truly hadn't expected that his daughter, Lü Xinyan, would already give him so much of a shock after just meeting her.

Despite having been fed some roasted meat, Lü Daquan was still too hungry, and his strength was still significantly affected.

But because Lü Xinyan was so capable, Lü Daquan gritted his teeth and endured it until he got home.

Furthermore, their daughter, Lü Xinyan, came back with them. Lü Daquan tried his best to calm himself down so that his exhaustion wouldn't affect his daughter, Lü Xinyan.

Fortunately, they managed to get home safely before dark, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

After placing her elder brother Lü Muren on the bamboo bed, Lü Xinyan continued to examine him.

Once it was confirmed that Lü Muren was no longer in mortal danger and that the detoxification process had gone very well—with virtually no toxins remaining in his body—and that his leg injury was immobilized with a splint, and that they had been very careful when carrying the stretcher to avoid causing any further injury, Lü Xinyan felt much more at ease.

As long as his elder brother Lü Muren gets enough rest this time, he will naturally wake up, and there will be no problem with his recovery. Lü Xinyan doesn't need to worry about anything anymore.

After settling her elder brother Lü Muren in, Lü Xinyan and her mother Xie Shulan went to the main room outside.

Seeing that the whole family was there, Lü Xinyan first greeted her younger brother, Lü Muxin.

The younger brother, Lü Muxin, was not actually their biological son. Instead, his father, Lü Daquan, had found the baby by chance while hunting in the mountains. He felt sorry for him and brought him back home.

That time, Xie Shulan was about to give birth, and Lü Daquan went into the mountains to hunt some pheasants and find some wild eggs to nourish Xie Shulan's body when she gave birth. As a result, he found the abandoned swaddling clothes and found Lü Muxin, who had just been born.

At that time, Lü Daquan searched the surrounding area for a long time but could not find anyone else. Seeing that Lü Muxin was very weak and would not survive if left there, Lü Daquan took pity on him and brought him back.

It was around that time that Lü Daquan found a ginseng plant next to the baby's swaddling clothes and dug it up. This further strengthened Lü Daquan's resolve to adopt Lü Muxin.

That day, Xie Shulan went into labor early, and the situation was extremely dangerous. Ginseng came in handy and saved Xie Shulan's life. Both mother and child were safe.

Knowing all this, Xie Shulan agreed to keep Lü Muxin, and told the public that they were twins.

Over the years, his family has treated Lü Muxin very well, regarding him as a member of their family.

Of course, Yuan Yutong wasn't home that day and didn't know about it. To avoid making Yuan Yutong overthink things, her family didn't tell her the truth about Lü Muxin's background.

Even now, Yuan Yutong still doesn't know this.

Thinking of Miao Lanyi from before, Lü Xinyan decided to take her family away from Ningshui Village and the Lianyun Mountain area as soon as possible, which should be safer.

Otherwise, things will get very complicated once the truth about Lü Muxin's background is revealed.

Lü Xinyan also needs to find time to talk to her parents about this matter and see what their attitude is.

Based on Lü Xinyan's understanding of them, she shouldn't abandon Lü Muxin because of any danger.

As for Lü Xinyan, who had just returned, Lü Muxin knew that she was his older sister. He looked at her curiously, called out "Sister" in a soft voice, and blushed shyly.

Seeing this scene, Lü Xinyan was also charmed.

After responding, Lü Xinyan first told her family, "Father, Mother, my eldest brother's condition has stabilized and he's out of danger."

"He was bitten by a venomous snake and was poisoned. The poison has been neutralized. He just needs to focus on nourishing his body and recover."

"As for the fracture in my brother's leg, it has been immobilized. He should rest well and avoid further injury. He will recover quickly and there will be no further impact."

Knowing they were all worried about Lü Muren's health, Lü Xinyan told them about it first to put their minds at ease.

Without these burdens, they can discuss other matters with fewer concerns.

With her there, even if it meant getting her eldest brother to fully recover immediately, it would be possible. But Lü Xinyan didn't do that. She proceeded step by step, which would speed up her eldest brother Lü Muren's recovery, but wouldn't cause anything too strange.

Those were her trump cards; she could act secretly without easily revealing these secrets.

Sure enough, upon hearing what Lü Xinyan said, Lü Daquan and Xie Shulan all breathed a sigh of relief.

Xie Shulan, holding her daughter Lü Xinyan's hand, said with heartache in her eyes, "Yan'er, you've worked so hard!"

"This time, we really owe it to you for coming back and taking timely action. Otherwise, we don't even want to think about what would have happened."

"Yan'er, are you tired? I'll go find you something to eat."

Although Lü Xinyan still had some roasted meat that she had prepared on the mountain, they couldn't rely entirely on the food she provided. They also had to use the little food they had left at home so that Lü Xinyan could eat as well as possible.

However, Lü Xinyan grabbed her mother Xie Shulan's hand, shook her head, and said, "Mother, there's no need for that."

"I know about the situation at home, so I'll leave the food there for now."

"Right now, there are famines and disasters outside, and the situation will only get worse. We need to make more preparations."

At this point, Lü Xinyan pointed to the bag she was carrying and said, "I also brought some dry food. We'll make do with this."

"There's still some roasted meat left. Let's eat some of it along with this dry food. It'll give us the energy to do other things."
