Rebirth is not a dream.

Chapter 29: Saving People I Like Silver 2

After Su Yue finished her breakfast, she called everyone to go up the mountain together. Sister Li held Xingyu's hand, as cautiously as a loving mother; Taozi supported Su Yue, as light as a weeping willow swaying in the breeze; Qiuzhu followed closely behind like a loyal guard. The group, like a beautiful painting, slowly walked towards the mountain.

The group walked slowly. The mountain road was rugged, but Su Yue walked steadily. She looked at the surrounding scenery and her mood gradually became cheerful.

Suddenly, a hare jumped out of the bushes, and Xingyu screamed in fright. Su Yue smiled slightly and said softly, "Don't be afraid, it's just a rabbit."

As she spoke, she signaled Qiu Zhu to catch the hare. Qiu Zhu followed her orders and caught the hare in a few jumps.

Su Yue took the hare and looked at it carefully, with a hint of surprise in her eyes: "This hare has bright fur and looks very healthy. We can add a wild game dish today."

Everyone was delighted when they heard this, especially Mrs. Li, who smiled and said, "Miss, you have good taste. This wild rabbit must be delicious."

Then they continued walking up the mountain, laughing and talking all the way.

The mountain road after the rain was like a silk ribbon soaked in water, slightly slippery. When Su Yue and her friends reached the middle of the mountain, they stopped and looked at the picturesque scenery on the mountain. Su Yue thought: Let's roast the rabbit here, no need to bring it back. Taozi found a mountain spring and carefully washed the rabbit by the stream; Qiuzhu found some dry firewood to prepare for the bonfire; Li Sao and Xingyu also found some stones, some big, some small, some round, some square. After a while, Su Yue and her friends lit the bonfire, and the jumping flames were like dancing elves, waiting for Taozi to put the prepared rabbit on the rack for roasting.

They were ready and waiting for Taozi to return. However, Taozi suddenly ran back in panic, as if there was a wolf chasing her. Su Yue thought Taozi had encountered a wild beast, so she asked Qiu Zhu to find some weapons to prevent any accidents. "Miss, Miss, it's not good..." Taozi was panting and out of breath. "Don't worry, talk slowly." Su Yue comforted Taozi softly, while Qiu Zhu was on full alert as if facing a great enemy. Sister Li also nervously pulled Xingyu. "Miss, there seems to be a dead person over there." Taozi said timidly.

"Dead?" Hearing this word, Su Yue's originally nervous mood instantly relaxed a little, but at the same time, she was full of doubts and confusion - how could there be a dead person here? Could it be that she would encounter such things wherever she went, just like Conan?

Su Yue didn't want to meddle in other people's business, and wondered if she should find someone to report the case to the government. After all, they were helpless, and a good outing was ruined inexplicably. However, Taozi said, "Miss, you should go over and take a look! I was standing far away just now, so I couldn't see clearly, but I felt that the person seemed to be still breathing!" "Not dead?" Su Yue thought, isn't this more troublesome than death? She really didn't want to get involved, but she had no choice but to have a maid who liked to meddle in other people's business.

Although she was reluctant, Su Yue finally came to the scene. Not far above where Taozi was washing the rabbit, a tall man was lying by the stream. He seemed to have been attacked by a knife or a sword, and his injuries were serious. As for whether it was a knife wound or a sword wound, Su Yue could not be sure, but she knew that it must have been caused by some sharp object. At this moment, the man was lying there with his eyes closed, his face as pale as paper, and he was lifeless.

Su Yue pleaded with Mrs. Li to return to the temple and invite a few monks to come. She hoped that the monks could handle the matter. However, Qiu Zhu stepped forward and turned the man's body over. Su Yue glanced back and froze in place for a moment, staring straight at the man's face. This man actually had a face that was exactly the same as Lu Ming, just like her husband in her previous life. Could it be that her husband also crossed time and space and came to this world? Su Yue couldn't help but reach out and gently touch the man's neck, feeling the weak pulse beating, and then tried his breathing, and found that his breathing was very weak, his face was as pale as paper, and he was obviously in a coma. It can be seen at a glance that this is caused by excessive blood loss. Su Yue hurriedly ordered everyone to carry the injured man to their campfire so that he could feel a little warmth.

Su Yue stepped forward quickly, carefully examined the wounds on his body, and tore off his clothes without hesitation. Seeing this, Taozi looked embarrassed and said hesitantly, "Miss, this is not good, right?"

Su Yue looked anxious and retorted: "Are we just going to watch him die?" Taozi explained hurriedly: "No, I mean if the people in the Marquis' Mansion knew about it, I'm afraid they would..."

Hearing this, Su Yue rolled her eyes at Taozi and secretly complained in her heart that this maid was really pretentious. It was she who was grumbling about saving people just now, but now she was afraid of causing trouble.

Su Yue carefully examined his wounds and found that they were not fatal, but only superficial. Although the wounds were deep, they were not serious. She looked at Taozi and Qiuzhu and asked, "Did you bring needles and thread?"

Taozi quickly replied, "Yes." Then she took out the needle and thread from her purse and handed it to Su Yue. Su Yue roasted the needle and thread over the fire, and then carefully sutured the cleaned wound. Taozi and Qiu Zhu were stunned. Although Qiu Zhu was extremely surprised, she was introverted and was just speechless.

Taozi couldn't help herself and asked curiously, "Miss, can wounds be sewed up like clothes?"

"It should be possible. Isn't this how doctors treat wounds?" Taozi and Qiuzhu looked at each other, wondering, is this really the case?

Su Yue hadn't sutured a wound for a long time, so her technique was a little rusty, and her tools were not very suitable. But it was better than nothing, and she finally treated the wound properly. She took some wound medicine from Qiu Zhu, applied it to the injured, and then tore off his underwear to bandage the wound. Su Yue was busy and sweating, and finally finished the treatment.

The monks from Baiyun Temple had not arrived yet. Su Yue searched the injured person's body, trying to find identification or something like that, but found nothing, not even a penny. However, she did find a jade pendant and tore it off. Then, she used her unused underwear, dipped in the blood from treating the wound, and wrote an IOU: "I owe Su Yue two hundred taels for medical expenses, and I'll use the jade pendant as collateral." Finally, she pressed the injured person's bloody handprint.

After Su Yue finished all this, after a while, the monks from Baiyun Temple and Mrs. Li finally arrived with a stretcher.

The monks carried the injured back to the temple. Su Yue dried the IOU over the fire, asked Qiu Zhu and the others to put out the fire, and prepared to go down the mountain. Taozi saw the IOU Su Yue received and said, "Miss, this is not good for you, right?"

"Why is it bad? Look, the doctor won't charge for consultation, right?"

"I will pay, but isn't two hundred taels a bit too much?"

"Is it a lot?" Su Yue thought to herself. In this era of using silver as currency, she didn't really know how to calculate prices. According to the standards of her previous life, it only cost 200 yuan to treat a wound, which was really not a lot. She just didn't realize for a moment that these 200 taels of silver and 200 yuan were not the same concept at all.

Qiu Zhu listened to the conversation between the young ladies and interrupted, "That jade pendant is worth far more than two hundred taels of silver!"

Su Yue looked at the jade pendant in her hand and said firmly: "When he comes to me, just exchange it for two hundred taels of silver. Saving people is a piece of cake for me, and I prefer to mark the price clearly and pay the money in full. In this way, neither party owes the other, which is extremely fair, isn't it?" Taozi and Qiuzhu couldn't help but sigh that the young lady's ideas were really different.

Su Yue's real thought was that she had to have an opportunity to get to know this person, so that she could know whether he was Lu Ming or not. Should she take the initiative to ask him? Wouldn't she be regarded as a crazy woman?
