Shengjing Noble

Su Lanyin stood up from the ground. Perhaps because she moved too violently, she felt dizzy. Then everything went black and she fell to the ground, unconscious.

……

When she woke up again, Su Lanyin was being carried to the foot of the mountain.

She looked down and saw that it was Brother Liu.

"Brother Liu..."

Brother Liu was overjoyed. He stopped and carefully put her on the ground.

"Sister Lu, you're finally awake. You scared us to death!"

Su Lanyin stood up holding on to the big tree, looked around, and found that many villagers were there, both men and women, all looking at her with concern.

"I...wasn't I on the mountain?"

Brother Liu explained: "Your sister-in-law was worried about you, so she asked us to go up the mountain to look for you. We searched all night and finally found you fainted on the top of the mountain at dawn."

"I see... Thank you very much."

"Don't be polite. I see that your head is broken and your body is covered with various injuries. We were really scared. In the end, we had no choice but to let me carry you down the mountain. If I have offended you in any way, please bear with me."

Although there are differences between men and women, human life is at stake and no one cares to avoid suspicion.

Su Lanyin said gratefully: "If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't be able to come down by myself. Where's Mrs. Liu?"

"I'm at home taking care of the kids and the sick. Come on, I'll carry you back."

"No, I can walk. I'm much better now."

Su Lanyin smiled and walked forward. She subconsciously reached into her arms, but there was nothing there!

There was a flash of surprise in her eyes, but then she reacted quickly and turned to look at the villagers who followed her.

Although she didn't want to doubt it, it was almost certain that someone had stolen her golden lotus and night-shining pearl.

Not to mention the value of the golden lotus, but that night pearl can buy dozens of jewelry shops.

Moreover, that night pearl helped her overcome countless difficulties, and she couldn't just give it away like that.

But at the moment, she didn't know who did it, and she had no evidence to prove that it was stolen.

What if it fell on the way down the mountain?

We can't wrongly accuse those kind-hearted people who went up the mountain to rescue her.

Su Lanyin's eyes rolled and she came up with an idea.

"By the way, I hunted two pheasants a few days ago and kept them in the pen. To thank you all, let's go directly to my house for dinner. I'll ask Aunt Liu to kill the chickens and reward you all."

Pheasants are difficult to hunt, and even if they are caught, the villagers are reluctant to eat them. They basically take them to the county town at the foot of the mountain to exchange for silver.

If you invite them to eat chicken, absolutely no one can refuse.

When everyone heard this, they happily followed Su Lanyin.

On the way, she deliberately walked to the back to see if anyone would take the opportunity to slip away.

If you don't go to her house to eat chicken, she must be hiding something from you. I'll catch you red-handed when the time comes.

However, this thief was still greedy. He didn't leave after taking the things and was still thinking about eating the pheasant meat.

Su Lanyin couldn't help but sigh, he was really not vague about eating and taking things at the same time.

But it suits her just fine.

After returning to their residence, Brother Liu and Sister Liu began to set up a table in the yard and invited the guests to sit down.

At this point, Su Lanyin closed the courtyard door and spoke: "Sorry, before we start the meal, there is something I need your cooperation with."

"What's the matter?" Everyone was puzzled.

Su Lanyin got straight to the point: "I went up the mountain this time to save this young master. He was poisoned and in danger. That golden lotus can save his life."

"I am covered in wounds and have gone through great pains to find the golden lotus. Please return it to the one who took it, along with the pearl, intact."

When everyone heard this, they all started discussing what they didn't understand.

"What's going on? Did someone steal Doctor Lu's herbs? And the beads?"

"This is ridiculous. We went up the mountain to rescue people, not to steal anything."

"That's right, Doctor Lu, maybe you left it on the mountain. Don't wrongly accuse us!"

"We spent the entire night searching for you in the mountains. Even if we didn't do anything great, we worked hard. How come you are accused of theft?"

...For a moment, everyone was outraged and directed their anger at Su Lanyin.

Mrs. Liu saw this and quickly stepped forward to defend them: "Why are you shouting? The medicinal herbs that are vital to human life are lost, we have to find them!"

Brother Liu also echoed: "Yes, we have nothing to fear. Since we didn't take anything, we don't need to be angry. But the thief is the culprit."

When everyone heard this, they realized that this was the truth.

"I didn't take it. Stealing someone's life-saving herbs is really heartless!"

"It's so abominable that such a despicable person appeared in our village!"

"Don't let me catch this thief, or I'll break his hand!"

……

Everyone was filled with righteous indignation, and Brother Liu suggested, "Why don't we search each other?"

"Okay! Come on, who will search me?"

"I'll come, you search me!"

"Let's men search men, and women search women!"

"Yes, we must help Doctor Lu catch this thief!"

……

In front of Su Lanyin, everyone searched each other, but indeed no stolen goods were found.

Brother Liu asked, "You didn't find this either. Did I drop it on the ground when I was carrying you?"

Su Lanyin shook her head: "It shouldn't be possible. When I was awake, I carefully put it close to my body. It will never fall out easily."

She thought about it and suddenly had an idea.

"Since they haven't found him yet, it means that this person is hiding very deeply. Let's put it this way..."

Su Lanyin walked to a small room without windows. After opening the door, it was pitch black inside and people could hardly see anything when they walked in.

She continued, "Can you guys go in one by one?"

Everyone is puzzled.

"What are you doing in that room?"

"Yes, it was dark."

"Can we find out who the thief is by going in?"

……

Su Lanyin nodded: "Yes, as long as we go in, we can tell who the thief is."

Everyone didn't believe it, but they still did as they were told.

Then, one after another, they walked into the house.

None of the people noticed anything wrong. When the last person, Aunt Wang, walked in, a light suddenly came out of her crotch, and everyone's eyes widened.

Aunt Wang pretended to be calm and walked out, cursing: "What the hell, I think you are just looking for trouble, let me eat the pheasant quickly, and stop doing that useless thing."

She was about to sit down when Su Lanyin grabbed her wrist.

"Aunt Wang, if I remember correctly, it was me who cured the dark spots on your granddaughter's face."

She looked horrified, with a cold look in her eyes.

Aunt Wang swallowed guiltily, but still stiffened her neck with a look of disdain.

"So what? I gave you five eggs as a reward. Don't try to blackmail me."

The people around couldn't bear to watch it anymore.

"Auntie Wang, you are so old, how can you steal things?"

"That's right, hiding things...hiding them in that kind of place, it's really..."

"His aunt, please take out the things and return them to Doctor Lu. They are used to save lives."
