I traveled through time and space to hunt and support my family in ancient times
Chapter 22 It’s not a good place to stay for a long time
The leaves in the forest were dense, and the light gradually dimmed after Jiang Yue had walked for a while.
After going back and forth several times, she was already familiar with the route, but halfway through, Jiang Yue smelled a hint of blood in the air, which revealed danger. It was not left by her when she hunted wild boars. Jiang Yue frowned, secretly alert, and stepped forward, and saw the man in black lying on the ground.
A dozen men in black were already dead, with many stab wounds on their bodies, each of which was fatal. The bloody smell was coming from these wounds.
There were obvious signs of fighting around the man in black. Jiang Yue frowned, her boxing skills could not compare to the killing skills of real knives and guns.
Don't stay here for long.
Jiang Yue turned and headed back into the mountain, but after she had taken a few steps, a low, hoarse voice came from behind a big tree over there.
"The little girl went up the mountain alone, is she hunting?"
Jiang Yue held the bow tightly and pointed it behind the tree vigilantly, "This is none of your business."
"Don't be nervous, little girl. I mean no harm to you. Could you please help me?"
Jiang Yue spat secretly, fearing that he had been targeting her for a long time. The human heart is harder to guard against than wild beasts. The hunting she made was enough to support her family, so she didn't want to put herself in unpredictable danger out of kindness.
Jiang Yue held the bow and arrow and stepped back, saying, "I can't help you, and I won't tell anyone what's going on here."
This person hid behind a tree and didn't show up for a long time. He just asked for help and might have been injured.
A faint voice came from behind the tree, "Little girl, saving a life is better than building a seven-level Buddha butcher."
Jiang Yue raised her eyebrows. It seemed that the man was seriously injured and couldn't stop her from leaving.
Without putting away the bow and arrow in her hand, Jiang Yue replied coldly: "I am just a little village girl, I don't understand the truth, goodbye!"
"I have money here and can pay you." As he spoke, a hand stretched out from behind the tree, with a piece of shiny white silver in the palm of the hand.
Jiang Yue's heart moved and she changed her mind. Things would be different if she had money.
Stopping his steps and retreating, Jiang Yue said alertly: "Throw out your weapon first."
"Ok?"
"What if you are a bad guy, I saved you, and you use a weapon to kill me, what should I do?"
The man said quietly, "If I lose my weapon, what if you take the money and kill me?"
Jiang Yue raised her eyebrows and said, "Since you don't trust me, I'll take my leave."
After saying that, he made a gesture to leave.
The man behind the tree sighed, threw out a sword, and raised the silver in his hand, "Now my life is in your hands, girl."
Jiang Yue smiled and took the silver. Her fingers touched his palm, which was cold and looked very weak.
Jiang Yue didn't waste any more time. She picked up the man's sword, walked around the tree and came in front of him.
At this time, night fell. A bright moon quietly hung in the sky, and the moonlight scattered through the leaves.
Jiang Yue lowered her head and took a closer look. She saw a man leaning against a tree, breathing weakly, looking up at her.
Jiang Yue asked: "Is there anyone else in the forest who wants to kill you?"
He shook his head. "Gone. All dead."
Then you can start a fire without any worries. Jiang Yue gathered a handful of dry branches and lit a fire. The fire flickered gently, and Jiang Yue looked at the man carefully.
He was seriously injured, his light-colored robe was soaked with blood, and he looked miserable. The more serious wounds were still bleeding, so his face was extremely pale. Even so, Jiang Yue couldn't help but sigh, this man is really good-looking.
It's like a breeze blowing on your face, so pleasant to the eye.
Jiang Yue raised her eyebrows: "She's pretty. It would be a pity if she died in the mountains."
He smiled, his eyes showing some unknown light, "Am I being teased by a country girl like you?"
As soon as Jiang Yue saw his eyes, she knew that he was in deep thought and was not as calm and harmless as he appeared to be.
"You're so pretty, do you have to pay extra?"
"My life and property are all in your hands, girl. Where can I get anything else?"
Jiang Yue gave up. This ingot of silver was worth ten taels and was more valuable than the prey she had found in the cave.
She is not at a loss.
With the light of the fire, Jiang Yue looked for herbs nearby. Thanks to her elder brother who had applied medicine to her several times, Jiang Yue recognized the hemostatic herbs at a glance. She pulled out some herbs and put them in her mouth to chew them into pieces, then took them out and put them on the wound that was bleeding.
The man had been observing her. Although her movements were rough, her expression was calm. Her face was thin and she had a calmness that was not in line with her age.
Jiang Yue didn't look at him. She quickly treated all the visible bleeding wounds. Finally, she said, "Once the bleeding stops, you can leave."
After saying that, Jiang Yue took his bow and arrow and prepared to leave.
The man said, "I can't walk in this state."
Jiang Yue kept walking, "Then I can't control it."
"Hey, you took my money and left right away. Aren't you too heartless?"
Jiang Yue turned around and said, "You paid me to save you, but you didn't ask me to take you down the mountain, let alone provide you with food. I have already treated what I needed to treat, what else do you want?"
The man was silent for a moment, "I also have a handful of gold beads."
Jiang Yue paused, with a smile on her face, "Really, why didn't you say so earlier."
You're a bastard who doesn't make money.
Jiang Yue walked back to the man and stretched out her hand, saying, "Take the money."
The man did not move, and said quietly, "The gold beads are in my arms. Go and get them if you want." He wanted to see how bold a ten-year-old girl could be.
Jiang Yue leaned over and fumbled around on his body, and indeed, she took out a sachet. The sachet felt quite heavy in her hand. She untied it and looked at it in the light of the fire. There were exactly ten golden beads glittering inside.
The man looked at Jiang Yue's greedy look and thought to himself, this little girl is really rude and not polite at all. He teased her intentionally, "I still have some, do you want it?"
"Where?" Who would complain about having too much money?
Jiang Yue moved her hands up and down, flipping the man's sleeves and accidentally touching the wound. The man gasped in pain and said, "No more, no more. Those gold beads are enough, right? Take them as a reward. Please take me down the mountain and provide me with food and lodging."
Jiang Yue stopped and saw a jade pendant hanging on the man's waist. She immediately took it off and said, "I see there is another one. This one is good. It can be used as food expenses."
The jade pendant is round and flawless white, with the three words "Ya" engraved on the blue surface.
"What is this random carving?"
Jiang Yue wondered, is this ancient jade pendant with inscriptions still valuable?
The man nodded. "Miss, that's not a random carving. It's a cliff. What's your name?"
Jiang Yue thought that it was best for her to be illiterate, and pulled the corner of her mouth, "What's my name got to do with you!"
The man saw Jiang Yue couldn't let go of the jade pendant and teased, "This jade pendant is for marrying a wife. Do you want to be my wife?"
Jiang Yue choked, threw the jade pendant into his arms and said, "Who wants to be your wife?"
