Chapter 269 is him

The hillside was extremely steep, and Song Chunxue watched with her heart pounding as she leaned against the railing.

Fortunately, the person rolled several dozen meters before being stopped by a tree.

Just as Song Chunxue breathed a sigh of relief, she saw that there were three people in the group who had pushed her, and they were walking towards the pavilion.

They were afraid that someone would see this.

She gripped the short knife at her waist and quickly ran in the opposite direction for more than ten meters, hiding behind a large clod of earth.

"Let's go, there's no one here."

The speaker said in a deep voice, "He is the local tyrant of this Wolf City. He will be discovered soon. We should hurry down the mountain and leave as soon as possible."

"yes!"

The sound of the three people's footsteps gradually faded into the distance.

After a long while, Song Chunxue finally dared to climb out.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and her tense heartbeat gradually calmed down.

Could the person who just rolled down the hillside have been Mei Yang?

If it really is him, she can't just stand by and watch him die.

After thinking for a moment, she tied up the hem of her skirt and carefully slid down the hillside.

She quickly arrived in front of the unconscious person.

It really is Meiyang.

He had been stabbed, his face was ashen, and his breathing was weak.

Song Chunxue carried her to the hill where she first found the jade pendant, borrowed a cart from the temple, and pulled her along the main road to the clinic.

The doctor at the clinic recognized Mei Yang and couldn't help but look at Song Chunxue, "How did he get injured like this?"

She then briefly recounted what she had seen him arguing with someone on the mountain. The apprentices in the clinic went out and called over two people who usually followed Mei Yang from the street.

"What's wrong with Brother Yang?"

One of the men, with a dark complexion, was so anxious that he kept stamping his feet. He was somewhat surprised to see Song Chunxue.

"Did you save Brother Yang?"

Song Chunxue then recounted the scene to him.

"Since you're here, I'll head back now. I've already paid for the medicine. Let's take him home when he wakes up."

"Hey, wait a minute!" the man shouted. "My name is Black Rabbit. Have you seen what the person who hurt him looks like?"

Song Chunxue only remembered that those people wore thick, bulky clothes and had strange accents.

“Alright, I’ll tell Yang when he wakes up.” The man looked at Song Chunxue seriously. “Yang went on a long trip a few days ago and just got back yesterday when this happened. Thanks to you for saving him.”

Song Chunxue nodded, "It was nothing, I'll be going now."

If it were someone else, she might not have saved them.

Having lived through one life, she knew very well that recklessly interfering with other people's karma could backfire.

Mei Yang had helped her a lot, so this was a way of repaying his kindness.

...

On the morning of the third day, Song Chunxue was weeding on the high wall of the fort.

The pumpkin vines have already sprouted, and the cosmos flowers are already two inches tall.

"Hello!"

Someone shouted from below.

Song Chunxue didn't take it to heart.

"Hey, aren't you afraid of falling down standing so high?"

Upon hearing the sound, Song Chunxue stood up, while Mei Yang stood below, looking up at her.

Why is this person here instead of resting and recovering from their injuries?

Black Rabbit, standing behind him, waved and smiled, "Sister Song, what are you busy with?"

Song Chunxue frowned, holding a shovel. "You came here to thank me? Instead of going home to rest, what are you doing causing trouble outside?"

She said irritably, "If you want to thank me, you can come after you've recovered."

Mei Yang pursed his dry lips and took a step back, which Black Rabbit quickly supported.

"Since you're already here, can't you come in and have a drink of water?"

Indeed, if someone like Mei Yang could listen to others, he wouldn't be Mei Yang.

She dropped the shovel, went down the steps, and opened the courtyard gate.

Mei Yang's steps were a little unsteady as he walked into the spacious courtyard. He looked around and saw that everything was very clean.

"Come inside and sit down, I'll go boil some water."

“No need,” Mei Yang walked to the stone table. “I just wanted to ask you a question: were you up the mountain that day too? Was the person in the pavilion at the top really you?”

"Um."

"They didn't give you any trouble, did they?"

“No, I hid under a embankment. They didn’t see me and said I had left the city.” Song Chunxue couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Why didn’t you bring more people with you when you were on business? If I hadn’t found you, you might have been hanging on the mountain for days.”

Mei Yang forced a smile, placing one hand near the wound.

I guess the wound is hurting.

“You’re right, but I didn’t think that much about it at the time,” Mei Yang looked at her, “So, how about repaying this life-saving debt with your body?”

"No, just being friends is fine." Song Chunxue crossed her legs and looked at him indifferently. "Someone as reckless as you is better off not being family."

“Since you call me sister, listen to me and go back to recover first.” At this point, Song Chunxue suddenly remembered something, “I found a jade pendant on the mountain. I don’t know who lost it. Their family is probably quite rich.”

She was testing him.

For valuable items, the emotions carried by the original owner are more valuable than the jade pendant itself.

Mei Yang has a wide network of connections; perhaps he can hear about someone looking for the jade pendant. If he can return it to that person, he can earn a favor in return.

If no one claims it, there's no need to keep other people's things; she can pawn them.

Most of the pawnshops in Zhuanglang City are unscrupulous and take advantage of her lack of knowledge about goods, so Meiyang is definitely more well-connected.

"What jade pendant?"

Mei Yang stood up. "If it weren't for Zhao Yupei from my mountain, I wouldn't have run into those people."

Song Chunxue stood up. "I'll go get it for you to see."

Before long, she handed the jade pendant to Mei Yang.

Mei Yang was taken aback and looked at Song Chunxue in surprise, his expression changing rapidly.

He clutched the jade pendant excitedly and asked, "Where did you find it?"

"On that hilltop in the middle, I sat down to rest and saw someone lying in the grass. Was that yours?"

"Someone asked me to find it, but I didn't expect you to find it first. You are truly my benefactor!"

With that, he stood up and bowed deeply to her. "Thank you. I'll come to see you again in a few days."

After saying that, he excitedly walked outside.

"Sister Song, you're busy, we'll be going now." Black Rabbit pointed at Mei Yang, "That guy is crazy. He values ​​the things people ask him to do more than his own life. I'll go and talk to him."

I can see that.

After tending to the small vegetable garden at home, Song Chunxue thought about how her fourth son was currently training with Old Man Zhang and that the caravan would be setting off in a few days. She decided to prepare more things for him to take with him.

He had been out before and knew what he needed on the road. These past few days, he had been thinking that dried donkey meat was the most filling, so she decided to go to the street to buy two pounds of dried meat.

She locked the door and went out onto the street. When she passed by a cosmetics shop, she couldn't help but stop.

The aroma emanating from the shop was so wonderful that she had never been inside before in her life.

Now that she has money, she can go in and take a look, broaden her horizons, right?

She stepped into the rouge shop that the Nan family had just opened.

It was rather deserted; there were only two people inside, and they both left after she went in.

"Hey, the big boss is here! Come in and take a look. What do you want? Just browse around and buy whatever you like."

Nan's sister-in-law walked up to her with a smile, and raised her hand to reveal the silver bracelet on her wrist.

She pointed to the dazzling array of bottles and jars on the wooden shelf, a feast for the eyes. The porcelain vases, large and small, in various colors, were all decorated with flowers. For a woman, this was something more alluring than something for a man.

Song Chunxue didn't know how to use rouge, so she chose a box of jasmine-scented face cream and a box of almond tea-scented face cream. Just these two boxes cost five hundred coins.

She used to buy things for three or four coins from street vendors, the best being five coins; she had never bought anything this expensive before.

She had just paid her coin and stepped out when she inadvertently saw a man chatting with someone in front of the teahouse across the street. He held a whisk in his hand and had a tall and slender figure like a pine tree.
