Chapter 213

Shen Qingnian and Song Xuan were placed in the same room.

The woman didn't mind that the two men were dirty, and helped them to the bed to rest.

She was dressed in coarse linen clothes, with a slightly yellowish complexion and delicate features. She said, "My name is He Lianxin. You can just call me Lianxin. My husband has gone to fetch water for you. His name is Yan Jinyong. You can just call him Jinyong."

After saying that, He Lianxin looked at Shen Qingnian and said with emotion, "Wild animals often roam this mountain, and it is especially dangerous at night. It is a miracle that you two were able to come down the mountain alive."

Her husband was a hunter, and he never dared to go too far when he went hunting in the mountains.

Seeing that He Lianxin had misunderstood, Shen Qingnian was about to speak when Song Xuan cut her off.

The man spoke in a deep voice: "Thank you for taking us in, Miss He. My wife and I went up the mountain today and accidentally fell into a pit, which is why we were caught by the wolf pack. We were really scared."

The words Shen Qing was about to say stuck in her throat. She subconsciously looked at Song Xuan, only to find that he didn't even glance at her...

Hearing Song Xuan say this, He Lianxin frowned and asked with some doubt, "Is the pit you mentioned half a person's height, and completely empty inside?"

These past few days, she heard from Jin Yong that they were digging new animal traps.

Song Xuan nodded: "That's right. The pit is about half a person's height, and there's nothing inside except some dry branches."

Upon hearing this, He Lianxin felt a surge of guilt.

At this moment, Yan Jinyong came in carrying water. He Lianxin quickly stepped forward to help, and the two of them put the hot water in the container.

Yan Jinyong walked over and looked at Song Xuan and Shen Qingnian, saying, "You two can freshen up and then leave to continue your journey. The mountains are high and the road is long, so don't delay."

These words are a way of telling people to leave.

Yan Jinyong was a hunter, and he wasn't as easily fooled as He Lianxin. Shen Qingnian's words were credible, but he still felt that the two of them shouldn't stay any longer.

When He Lianxin heard her husband say this, she immediately pulled him out. Before leaving, she said to Shen Qingnian and Song Xuan with some guilt, "You two clean up first, I'll go find you some medicine for your injuries."

"Thank you, Miss He," Shen Qingnian smiled at He Lianxin. The bloodstains on her face seemed to have dissolved, and although her appearance was not clearly visible, she looked exceptionally gentle.

He Lianxin was a peasant girl who had never seen such a gentle woman. She smiled back, then pulled Yan Jinyong out of the house and gently closed the door.

Outside, Yan Jinyong frowned and said, "Lianxin, there's something fishy about those two. We can't stay here any longer..."

Before he could finish speaking, He Lianxin pinched his arm. He gasped in pain and quickly covered his arm.

He Lianxin glanced at the closed door and glared at Yan Jinyong: "Isn't it all your fault? Do you even know why they got hurt?"

Jin Yong is a hunter. He has dug animal traps in the mountains. Every now and then, villagers who go up the mountain to collect herbs or dig wild vegetables fall into the traps. This has caused the two of them a lot of trouble, and they have reduced the number of animal traps from five to two.

Yan Jinyong realized what was going on and exclaimed in surprise, "The pit they fell into was the animal trap I dug?"

“Being chased by wolves and falling into a pit, you must have been in a terrible state! Go quickly and get the medicine for your wounds, I'll go make them some food,” He Lianhua nudged Yan Jinyong.

This time, Yan Jinyong didn't say anything and obediently went to get the medicine. He made a living by hunting and was often injured, so he kept some commonly used medicine at home.

inside the house.
