Fleeing From Famine, My Entire Family Was Reborn

In their previous lives, Su Yin, her mother, and her sister-in-law were brutally mu*dered by a mob. In a twist of fate, all three were reborn together.

Before the mob could reach their villag...

Chapter 284 Unexpected Gains

Su Yin's speed was so fast that Su Xiaozhong didn't have time to react before she had already pushed the man aside. By the time he reacted, the out-of-control carriage had already arrived in front of them.

He hurried to his daughter, anxious and worried, "What happened? Are you hurt?"

Su Yin got up from the ground, rubbed his sore arm, and smiled at his father, "It's okay, for a martial artist, this is nothing."

Seeing his daughter's playful look, Su Xiaozhong glared at him unhappily and helped to help the old man up.

The old man was frightened and it took him a while to come to his senses.

After coming back to her senses, she kept thanking Su Yin, "Thank you, young lady. If you hadn't saved my life, I would have died here today."

"It's just a piece of cake. Granny, are you hurt?"

The old woman shook her head, "How can I get hurt if you cushion me?"

Su Xiaozhong picked up the things that fell aside, which were all medicinal herbs.

Suddenly, his attention was attracted by a plant in the basket.

Su Yin noticed the old man's expression and asked quietly, "Dad, what's wrong?"

Su Xiaozhong gave her a look, and before Su Yin could figure out what he meant, he immediately turned to look at the old woman, "Old lady, do you still have this kind of grass at home?"

Su Xiaozhong pointed at the plant in the basket with small light blue flowers.

The old woman took a look and said, "I don't have any at home. I went up the mountain to look for herbs and saw this flower was blooming beautifully, so I picked it for my granddaughter. She really likes these flowers and plants. If you like them, you can go to Qingshui Mountain outside the city to pick them. There are many in bloom there."

When the old woman mentioned her granddaughter, a loving and happy smile appeared on her face, showing that she loves her granddaughter very much.

This was very rare in the Yong Dynasty.

Su Yin and Su Xiaozhong asked for the specific address. After knowing the approximate location, the father and daughter were filled with joy.

The old woman handed the blue flowers in the basket to Su Yin and said, "Girl, if you like them, you can take them."

Su Yin pushed it back, "I just thought it looked pretty, so I asked one more question. Grandma Hua should take it back to your granddaughter."

The little bit of madder in the old woman's hand was not enough for them to extract it for painting. They had to go to Qingshui Mountain anyway, so there was no need to take the flowers given to their granddaughter.

After the old woman left, Su Xiaozhong looked at Su Yin and said, "Your luck..."

Su Yin chuckled, pointed her finger at the sky, and said with a smile: "God is kind-hearted and can't bear to see her believers disappointed."

Su Xiaozhong didn't know how to describe his daughter, but he had to say that she was really lucky.

In this way, she can still find the madder.

If Su Yin hadn't saved the old woman, they might have missed it.

This is probably what people often say: good deeds will be rewarded.

"It's getting late now, so let's split up. I'll go to Qingshui Mountain to look for madder grass, and you go to the fur shop to sell tiger skins and find cowhide rolls." Su Xiaozhong gave the order directly.

Su Yin shook her head, "Dad, go find the cowhide rolls and sell the tiger skin. I'll go out of the city to look for it."

Without waiting for her father to object, Su Yin dealt a fatal blow and shut him up. "I have martial arts skills and can handle some dangers outside the city. You will be safer in the city."

One sentence successfully made Su Xiaozhong emo.

Mainly because it’s the truth, which makes it even more depressing.

Su Xiaozhong held it in for a long time before squeezing out four words, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Su Yin looked at his frustrated father, patted his shoulder, and said earnestly: "Dad, start boxing with us from tomorrow."

Su Xiaozhong: “…”

Never mind. He can't bear that kind of hardship.

I suffered a lot from using my brain in my previous life, do I have to suffer physically in this life?

No, no, he just wants to live a stable life as a rich man in this life.

After the division of labor was clear, neither of them was pretentious and they immediately took action separately.

Because they were about to arrive in Shangjing City, Su Yin was worried that someone was watching them in secret. After acting alone, he kept an eye on the rear to see if there was anyone following him.

They didn't feel anyone following them in the city, and after leaving the city, they didn't find anyone following them either. It seemed that the person in the dark was not keeping an eye on them.

It’s strange, is the person who left the things here so careless?

Su Yin couldn't help but mutter.

As the one who took the blame, she couldn't help but worry about them.

Since no one was watching behind him, Su Yin had no worries and quickened his pace. Following the old woman's instructions, he successfully found Qingshui Mountain. After entering the forest, just as the old woman said, he easily saw blue flowers swaying in the wind around a small puddle.

Su Yin pulled out all the madder grass around the puddle.

According to my dad, the roots of Sophora japonica are the most effective, while the leaves and flowers are less effective.

After clearing away all the dirt in the surrounding area, there was actually enough for her to purify the raw materials. But with this kind of stuff, the more the better, as she might need it again in the future.

Su Yin followed the puddle and searched the area around it with it as the center.

Sure enough, I found some scattered madder plants nearby.

After finding enough madder grass, Su Yin set off without stopping. Just as he reached the foot of the mountain, he saw a team of luxurious carriages coming. The eaves of the carriages were hung with pearls, and the curtains were made of smooth silk with a soft luster. There were bells ringing around the eaves. The luxury of the carriages made Su Yin stare sideways.

What caught her eyes was the back of the carriage.

I saw a woman at the back of the carriage. She was wearing a middle-length dress, with disheveled hair, and her face and body were covered in blood. The most terrifying thing was her legs, which were a mess of blood and flesh. Every time she stepped, a bloody footprint would be left on the ground.

The woman's hands were tied with a rope, and the other end of the rope was tied to the back of the carriage.

Su Yin understood that anyone who could ride in such a carriage must be either rich or noble.

The one who dares to be so arrogant under the emperor's feet must be the latter.

Su Yin hid behind a tree, waiting for the group to leave.

At this moment, the carriage, which was originally moving slowly, suddenly quickened its pace, and the woman who was tied at the back began to run with difficulty.

But with those injured feet, there was no way they could keep up with the speed of the carriage.

Even if her legs were intact, she would not be able to keep up with the speed of the carriage.

After the woman ran for a few breaths, her legs could no longer support her, and she could not keep up with the speed of the carriage. She was dragged forward by the carriage, her legs rubbing against the ground. The sharp stones scraped off the flesh on her legs bit by bit, leaving a long bloodstain on the ground. It was cruel, horrifying and bloody.

She had heard of this kind of torturous punishment before, but when she saw it with her own eyes, its cruelty and bloodiness made Su Yin want to try it again.

But the long escort team and the people in the luxurious carriage were firmly protecting her. This reality gradually cooled down Su Yin's anger.
