Chapter 53 Picked up an acquaintance?

Su Zhizhi didn't pick up the rabbit this time.

She picked up someone.

Eighteen-year-old Song Yu.

The eldest grandson of the Song family and the future head of the Song family.

It is difficult for a person born in the glorious period of his family to understand the impermanence of life.

That's what Song Yu is like.

The Song family was rich and wealthy, with properties spread all over the country, and Song Yan held a fourth-rank official position. Anyone reborn into the Song family would, by rights, have a life of ease and comfort.

But fate is unreasonable.

Song Yu could never have imagined that he would end up stranded in Lingnan and on the verge of starving to death in the mountains!

God!

He, Song Yu, was clearly the most outstanding among the younger generation in the family, and was personally trained by his great-grandfather Song Yan.

Great-grandfather said that he inherited the business talent of the Song family's ancestors, and even passed on the ancestral secret recipe for making ink to him. He is the future pillar of the Song family.

But he was still too young. In the 18 years since he came into this world, the only suffering he had experienced was the suffering of love.

The Song family arranged a marriage for him, and the other party was also the Feng family, a wealthy business family.

The third daughter of the Feng family is smart and capable, and she admires Song Yu very much.

But Song Yu didn't like the plain-looking Miss Feng San, and fell in love with the little girl Xiaoxiu in their workshop.

Song Yu and Miss Xiaoxiu are deeply in love and are determined to be together despite family obstacles.

So on the day when Song Yan went to the palace for the litchi banquet, Song Yu, blinded by love, eloped with Miss Xiaoxiu!

This departure is both a blessing and a curse.

When the entire Song family was imprisoned, he was unaware of it and escaped outside the city.

The two of them eloped for more than ten days, and were worried that the Song family would send someone to chase them.

But within two days, they heard that their great grandfather had committed high treason, and the entire Song family was exiled.

He was the only one who had escaped the net, and the officials outside were searching for him everywhere.

Song Yu was very distressed and told this to Miss Xiaoxiu.

Miss Xiaoxiu hugged Song Yu, tears welling up in her eyes: "Yulang, you still have me, our feelings will not change."

Song Yu and Xiaoxiu cried for a while, and then fell into a deep sleep.

When I woke up the next morning, Miss Xiaoxiu was gone.

All the money he had on him also disappeared.

At first, Song Yu still held on to a glimmer of hope and waited for Miss Xiaoxiu to come back.

But from dawn to dusk, there was no sign of anyone.

Song Yu finally covered his face in despair.

Song Yu lost his family, his love, and even his money for food, and there were officials outside trying to catch him.

He thought that he might as well be arrested by the government and die together with the Song family so that they could all be gathered together to see the grandfather.

But at this time, Miss Feng San found him first.

Only then did he realize that he was staying in the Feng family's inn, one of the properties managed personally by Miss Feng San.

Miss Feng San gave him a bag of silver:

"Song Yu, the marriage between our two families was originally arranged because of the favor that Master Song had shown to our Feng family. You eloped with someone, and the entire Song family was exiled. Don't blame us Feng family for not recognizing this marriage."

"But considering the kindness Mr. Song has shown me, I advise you this time to find a place far away from the emperor. You may be able to make a comeback one day."

Third Miss Feng said it clearly, the Feng family has repaid Mr. Song’s kindness today, and she can only help to this extent.

From now on, the bridge will be the bridge and the road will be the road.

Song Yu woke up as if from a dream and felt extremely ashamed.

After expressing his gratitude, he fled to Lingnan.

He didn't dare to walk on the main road for fear of being caught, and he often encountered thieves and robbers when he took the small roads. His luck was really bad.

Finally, he was penniless and hungry and wandered to a deep mountain in Lingnan.

He was so tired that he lay on the ground, and so hungry that he didn't even have the strength to stand up.

My great-grandfather once said that the Song family's secret recipe for making ink is priceless.

But when he was almost starving to death, with his stomach being eaten by thousands of insects and ants, he would trade it for a steamed bun.

The cold wind blew hurriedly back and forth in the forest.

He was covered with fallen leaves.

He closed his eyes, feeling that he was probably really going to die here.

He even heard the footsteps of the Black and White Impermanence coming towards him, very light and cheerful, like a child.

The moment a foot stepped on Song Yu, he burst out with the last of his strength and reached out to grab the foot...

"ah--"

Su Zhizhi and Xue Che shouted at the same time.

A Bao flew over and slapped away the hand that was holding Su Zhizhi's foot.

The hand quickly fell limply.

Su Zhizhi and Xue Che held hands and looked at each other.

Gu——gu——

Po flapped his wings and swept away all the fallen leaves on the ground, revealing an emaciated figure under the leaves.

“Zhizhi!”

"Ache!"

Old Man Qin, Kong Wu, and Bai Xun all arrived.

When Old Man Qin heard the loud shouts of Su Zhizhi and Xue Che, and the unusual cry of A Bao, he called Kong Wu and Bai Xun.

When the three of them rushed over, they saw Xue Che and Su Zhizhi trying hard to move someone onto Abao's back.

Xue Che: "This person seems to be still alive."

Su Zhizhi: "Move everything back home first, whether alive or dead. Maybe it will be useful."

"Ah, ah." Kong Wu ran over and lifted Song Yu up with one hand.

The group walked back, and Su Zhizhi and Xue Che talked about what had just happened.

Except for Xue Che, everyone was calm.

It is normal for Su Zhizhi to pick up people and things.

What's more, she picked up a person, not half a person, so there is nothing to be scared of.

Song Yu was sent to Doctor Yu.

Doctor Yu suppressed his excitement when he saw Song Yu's condition. After checking him, he was disappointed to find that the man was just starving to the point of being on his last breath and was not poisoned at all.

Hao Ren and Wu Yingniang were still busy with the Black Mountain Restaurant in Baiyun County. When they heard that Su Zhizhi had found someone again, Hao Ren rushed back to Black Mountain to take a look the next day.

When Hao Ren arrived at Doctor Yu's house, he saw Song Yu lying on the bed. His facial features looked familiar, as if he had seen him before and yet not before.

Su Zhizhi and Xue Che stood by the bed, reenacting yesterday's scene.

"...When Che and I walked into the woods, there were a lot of leaves on the ground. When I stepped on a leaf, a hand suddenly reached out and grabbed me..."

"Ache was so scared that he screamed and grabbed my hand."

Xue Che said with a stern face, "Zhizhi was so scared that she grabbed me."

The two children's voices could not stop, and Song Yu's eyelids on the bed moved.

He was fed some rice soup and rested for a night before finally opening his eyes.

The moment Song Yu opened his eyes, he thought he had arrived in the underworld because he actually saw Pei Lingyun.

Pei Lingyun has been dead for ten years!

When he was a kid, he used to follow Pei Lingyun around like a follower.

"Brother Zixin!"

Song Yu's pale lips trembled a few times.

A hint of vigilance appeared in Hao Ren's eyes.

"Your Excellency, you are mistaken. I am Hao Ren, the village chief here. May I ask where you are from?"

Song Yu burst into tears, propped herself up from the bed, and grabbed Hao Ren's clothes:

"Brother Zixin! It's you, I won't make a mistake. I'm A-Yu, the A-Yu of the Song family!"

When Song Yu was young, he went to Pei Mansion many times with his great-grandfather and often called Pei Lingyun Zixin "Brother".

The vigilance in Hao Ren's eyes faded away for the most part.

He did remember that when Song Yan came to the mansion to look for his father, he was accompanied by a boy of six or seven years old. Every time he saw him, he would call him "Brother Zixin" with envy.

However, boys change a lot when they grow up. Song Yu was obviously chubby when he was a child, and was dressed up festively by his elders, just like a money-giving boy under the seat of the God of Wealth.

"Ayu?"

Hao Ren looked carefully and finally saw some of the appearance of the boy who gave away money in the past from Song Yu's distorted face.

"Zhizhi, Ache, you two go out and play first."

Hao Ren sent Su Zhizhi and Xue Che out and talked with Song Yu alone in the house.

The fragrance of osmanthus wafts in the wind.

Su Zhizhi and Xue Che stood in Doctor Yu's courtyard, each with their own thoughts.

When Xue Che heard Song Yu call out "Brother Zixin", a flash of lightning seemed to strike his mind.

He looked at Hao Ren, who was wearing black hair and green clothes, with surprise, as if he had a premonition.

How could a village chief in the mountains possibly have such calligraphy and paintings, and such a noble and calm demeanor?

How could they possibly recognize the Xue family's ancestral jade at a glance?

It was at this moment that he understood why his father, who was far away at the border, was so confident in leaving him here.

It turns out that both the civil and military talents are in this world.

While Xue Che was sorting out his thoughts, the carefree Su Zhizhi took a branch and drew a little rabbit on the ground.

The little rabbit is drawn round and fat.

Su Zhizhi was happy while painting.

There are so many things to pick up in the back mountain, even my dad’s acquaintances can pick them up.

I wonder what I can pick up next time I go to the back mountain?
