After crossing, I was forced to hold on to my thighs and build a kingdom
Chapter 14: The Wind and Clouds Disappear
Half a piece of jute paper was pressed under the familiar purse on the bluestone table.
"All good things must come to an end. It's better to leave!" Jin Chu sighed and unfolded the jute paper.
I met the girl by chance. We were supposed to be strangers, but in just two days, I felt like we were old friends.
I am a disaster to the girl, but she is a blessing to me. I will never forget your life-saving grace.
The girl has a strong and optimistic character and regards wealth and honor as nothing. However, I don't want her to be bothered by poverty and trivial matters. I happen to have some extra money, so I would like to offer you this as a small token of my gratitude. Please accept it.
Take care of yourself and we’ll meet again soon.
Jin Chu opened her purse, and in addition to the bottles of medicine she had kept, she also found a silver note worth five hundred taels.
She couldn't help but sigh that children raised in wealthy families do have high emotional intelligence.
It is obvious that they give you money because they see that you are poor, but they can still express it in a fresh and refined way, making the recipient feel like spring breeze. It not only repays the favor, but also makes people feel relaxed physically and mentally. This kind of smooth and subtle way of doing things is really powerful.
Compared to the twenty taels of silver that his brother had given Sun, these five hundred taels were almost equivalent to giving her a small house in the city! A night of care in exchange for a house, this man was indeed generous.
Jin Chu happily collected the banknotes and immediately felt all his depression disappear.
She was just worrying about how a weak woman with a young child could survive in this unfamiliar world. Then the man in black showed up to help her out!
With this money, many difficulties that can be solved with money were easily solved.
For example, the Sun family!
This time when he goes back, he has to think of a way to make Sun live in peace. In the cold winter, Jinchu just wants to spend a quiet and peaceful year with his brother in Qingxi Village for the last time.
On the mountain, the girl fell asleep contentedly, holding her purse.
At the foot of the mountain, on the rugged and dark trail, dozens of horses were galloping silently. Their hooves were all wrapped with thick cotton cloth, and their mouths were tightly bound with muzzles.
Leading the way was a large silver horse, well-proportioned and moving with a light gait, a rare and majestic sight. Sitting atop it was a young man, perhaps in his early twenties, wearing a black, arrow-sleeved tights underneath and a matching crane cloak. He stood tall and straight, his black hair flowing.
I don't know how long they ran, but with the young man's "whoa", everyone stopped riding and whipping.
"Where are we?" the young man asked, his voice deliberately lowered to a steady and restrained tone.
Qing Xiao on the left stepped forward and reported: "Master, the nearest stronghold is less than 20 miles away. Why don't we stay there for the time being--"
The man interrupted him and refused flatly, "We won't stay in Lincheng this time."
He pulled the reins and asked, "How far is the next stronghold?"
"The next stronghold is a hundred miles away. Master, you are injured and have been running for so long. I'm afraid you can't withstand too much bumps. How about..."
Qingxiao looked hesitant. Intellectually, he was like the young master, and just wanted to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible. Emotionally, he was very worried about the young master's health.
"Don't stop, I know what I'm doing. Bring the leather!"
Su Cheng'an took the leather belt from Qingxiao, secretly took a deep breath, and fastened it tightly around his waist. Finally, he gave the order: "Don't stop here, keep moving forward!"
After he finished speaking, he squeezed the horse's belly, and the silver horse under his crotch rushed forward like an arrow.
Dozens of riders followed behind him again.
Thinking that he had not said goodbye to the little girl in person, Su Cheng'an felt a little guilty.
If Qingxiao hadn't brought much banknotes with her, he would have wanted to leave her one thousand taels, five hundred taels to buy a small house in Lincheng, one hundred taels for living, and the rest as a dowry.
She looked young, thirteen or fourteen? In short, a young girl who hadn't even reached marriage. Yet, she always gave me the feeling of being someone my age. Sometimes, she even acted like a bossy little sister, like a controlling young lady.
When he thought of the girl's clear pupils glaring at him angrily, he felt it was so cute, like a fur-ruffled cat, baring its teeth and claws in a bluffing manner.
The corners of Su Cheng'an's mouth rose unconsciously.
She was different from any sister he had ever known.
If he had the chance to meet her again in the future, he could actually ask his mother to adopt her as his adopted daughter. In this way, he could protect her openly and be her support after she gets married.
The pain in his waist came again. Thinking of the reason for the attack, hatred rose in his heart. I, Su Cheng'an, survived this disaster, but you will be the ones who will die in the future!
Waves of more intense pain came over him. Su Cheng'an tightened his grip on the reins and used his free hand to touch the wound. It felt wet and sticky. Sure enough, the wound, which had not fully healed, could not withstand the long-distance bumpy ride on horseback and finally split open again!
If that little girl knew that he didn't take care of his body, would she put on that malnourished, sallow face and ridicule him fiercely?
Well, she might even scold him! Because she has never been a little lady!
She really has a sharp tongue and dares to say anything without restraint. As someone who no one dares to argue with, he naturally cannot win an argument with someone who is good at arguing.
"How far is it?" Su Cheng'an's voice trembled slightly, trying his best to hide his weakness.
"Master, there are still two miles to go." Qingxiao behind him had already noticed the poor condition of the young master. Hearing this, he became even more anxious and did not care about the hierarchy. He rode his horse forward to the master's side.
If he had known the distance was so far, he would not have held on. He felt dizzy and his vision began to go black. It seemed that he had overestimated his physical strength.
At the last moment before dismounting, Su Cheng'an seemed to see her again and laughed heartily as he said, "Don't move here. I'll go catch two rabbits and be back!"
If he had the chance, he would definitely ask what the meaning behind this sentence is? ! !
Unfortunately, his words were not heard by the girl on the other side of the mountain.
The next morning, Jin Chu woke up refreshed after a good night's sleep. He heated up the rabbit soup that he had not finished last night and drank another bowl of it, and his breakfast was solved.
She cleaned all the food items and put them back in their proper places.
Thinking about the food and clothing they would need for the two days of their stay, Jin Chu felt a little embarrassed.
She was so poor! She didn't even have anything presentable on her!
The man in black did give her some silver, but it was banknotes. She was reluctant to give it all away, but she couldn't tear off a corner to give to others either.
This makes it more difficult to deal with.
The gray rabbit beside the bed jumped out, and the injury on its hind legs seemed to have recovered about 70% to 80%. Jin Chu smiled slightly and had an idea.
Although she didn't leave any money or food behind, she could send medicine!
Considering the black-clad man’s arrogant identity, the medicine he gave should not be ordinary.
Let’s not talk about anything else, just say that he was almost burned to death that night, but after she cleaned him up and applied medicine, the high fever subsided in less than half an hour.
For example, a rabbit's leg was broken the night before. After applying medicine, it can run around again today by dragging its hind legs.
When giving gifts, you should give what the other person needs. Everyday ingredients such as corn and dried vegetables are practical and not difficult to obtain.
It is common for hunters to be accidentally injured by small animals when they go hunting in the mountains. So, doesn't leaving this bottle of medicine here fully utilize its value?
After figuring this out, Jin Chu happily took out the bottle of medicine for treating bruises and various injuries and stuffed it into the bag of dried vegetables.
Afterwards, she happily went down the mountain with the little gray rabbit in the basket to go home to find her brother with a clear conscience.
What she didn't know was that not long after that, a hunter was scratched on the arm by a wild raccoon in the mountains and accidentally used this bottle of medicine, which turned out to be surprisingly effective.
Later, this bottle of medicine was carefully collected by the hunters in this area and would only be used for serious injuries.
After using it so carefully for a year or two, it is only considered a waste of time after its remaining value has been fully utilized.
