No matter how the chaos was in the capital and the frontier, Lin Dan would never be there to help anymore. After she fell into the mountain ravine and was caught in the torrent stream, she was consecutively hit by the huge rocks in the riverbed. She had bone fractures all over her body, and she had lost the ability to move. Fortunately, she was lucky enough to be washed to shoal by the current and rescued by several kind-hearted people, which saved her life.

These people were the villagers at the border. They found that although Lin Dan was a woman, she was wearing a military uniform. Her sleeves and collar were embroidered with the totem of the Western army. They definitely didn't dare to refuse to help her. If it weren't for the Western army, they would have died and could even return to their homeland.

They immediately carried her back to their village. Since she was a woman and it was inconvenient to take care of her, they settled her in a widow's house. Each household sent a few bowls of corn to the widow as the cost of curing her. The widow had a son. He had just turned eight years old and was able to guard in front of the bed.

"Sister, you recovered so fast! The doctor said that if an ordinary person injured like you, he can't get out of bed within ten to fifteen days." A three-foot-tall kid ran into the room with a bowl of remedy. He looked cute.

After Lin Dan took the bowl and drank it up, she said in a soft voice, "I'm fine now. Don't need to decoct the medicine anymore, so as not to waste the money."

The kid shook her head and said, "These herbs were picked by Doctor Meng himself. Just need to boil them with water after drying. It doesn't cost much. Sister, are you leaving? "

Lin Dan rubbed his head and said gently, "I will leave once I recover. I can't be a freeloader."

The kid's face turned red, and he waved his hand, "You're not a freeloader. Mom said, you are a soldier. It's our duty to help you so that you can protect us. Sister, can we go with you? "

"Y'all live well here. Why want to leave?" These days, Lin Dan often wandered around the village and found that the winter wheat was sown in the field. It was the earing season. By looking at the green piece of land, the scene was breathtaking. One or two months later, the villagers would have a good harvest. If they left at this time, this season's food would be gone, and they would starve to death.

The kid frowned and said bitterly, "General Lin Dan is gone. The Huns, driven away by General Lin Dan, allied with the other four Hu tribes and attacked Hetao. They came back to plunder us. If we don't leave now, we won't be able to leave when it's the harvest season."

The Huns had no production, and their rations were all dependent on looting. After all the trouble they had been through, the village was finally rebuilt. They thought that they could live a peaceful life under the protection of General Lin Dan, but they didn't expect that she would be assassinated by the assassins, and her body was nowhere to be found. Now the emperor was investigating the origin of those assassins. Some said that they were the daredevils of the several princes in the court; some said that they were the spies of the Huns. But no matter who they were, they were far away from the people at the border, where they only knew that their God of War was dead. Their good days were destroyed, and they had no home to return.

"Sister, you better leave as soon as possible. You are from the Western army. If the Huns know that, they will definitely come to kill you. Yesterday, the village head warned us not to reveal the news that you were recuperating in the village. When nightfall, you should leave quietly, and no one would know. My mother and I won't follow you. We don't want to be a burden to you." The kid climbed onto the bed and took out Lin Dan's belongings.
