Chapter 722: Similar life experiences made her empathize
"So Sanni hurt people with a knife because she was sick?"
Duan Si breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that if she said that, she wasn't intending to hurt anyone.
I hope the princess and the prince will spare her life because her family is so pitiful.
"But she did hurt someone."
Fuling was not very happy. She didn't know why she, who was always so generous, was so petty.
Perhaps it was because Cheng Jin was injured while protecting her that she felt bad.
"never mind."
Cheng Jin suddenly spoke, and looking at the miserable appearance of the three people opposite him, he sighed.
"My hand is not seriously injured. Let's leave it at that. You can take her back and your people will take good care of her in the future."
"Yes, I will definitely discipline them. Thank you very much!"
Duan Si was afraid that Fuling and the others would stop him, so he quickly responded to Cheng Jin's words, holding Duan Xiaohu with one hand and saying to Duan Sanni with the other:
"Why don't you thank your benefactor?"
"Thank you for not making a fuss."
Duan Sanni kowtowed in a daze, and Duan Xiaohu and the others did the same.
Mu Xiang looked at Jiang Wan in confusion, and when she shook her head gently, she let go and said:
"You live your own life, so please don't take your anger out on others."
Because she had experienced darkness before, Muxiang softened her heart a little and had a rare change of heart towards Cheng Jin.
Soon, Duan Si took the three of them away. Fuling held her breath and said nothing.
Cheng Jin quickly coaxed her, "Fuling, don't be angry, my hand is really fine."
As he spoke, he shook his hand and winked in pain.
Fuling's heart softened, and she said unhappily, "Why doesn't it hurt you to death?"
Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan looked at each other, and tacitly took Mu Xiang away to leave the space for them.
When Song Jiuyuan was explaining the matter to Duan Si, Mu Xiang hesitated and looked down at her toes, looking unhappy.
"Muxiang, what's wrong with you?"
Jiang Wan felt that Muxiang was not in a very good mood and her tone became a little gentler. She thought Muxiang was thinking about her own life experience.
"Master, Duan Sanni is indeed hysterical. She may think we are the rich gentry who forced their parents to death."
"Muxiang, you have been studying medicine with me for so long, I know you have good talent."
Jiang Wan raised her eyes and looked at her with burning gaze, "I believe you are well aware of the extent of her hysteria."
Yes, very mild hysteria.
In other words, when Duan Sanni went crazy and hurt people with a knife, she was most likely sober.
Just now she was just following Muxiang's words.
"I'm sorry, Master. Maybe my life experience is similar to hers, so I feel empathy for her."
Muxiang knew that the most taboo for a doctor was to be empathetic. She was not a soft-hearted person, but she still felt soft-hearted towards Duan Sanni.
In front of so many people, she saved her life.
"Everyone has seven emotions and six desires."
Jiang Wan did not blame her, but comforted her, "She hurt Cheng Jin, and Cheng Jin has forgiven them, so we should not interfere too much."
"I understand, Master."
Mu Xiang followed his instruction, and soon, Song Jiuyuan came over and said to Jiang Wan, "They have packed their luggage, let's go down the mountain together."
"Go back to Duanjia Village first?"
Jiang Wan glanced at the elderly, the weak, women and children. They didn't have much luggage with them, and they were huddled together in groups of three or four, walking unsteadily.
"Um."
Song Jiuyuan nodded and explained: "Since we need to investigate the case, we can't do it here. Although they didn't hurt anyone, they still wanted to become bandits.
So we can’t let those rich people catch us, and I will handle the rest.”
"Well, let's go."
Jiang Wan originally wanted to call Fuling, but unexpectedly Fuling had already walked over with a cold face, and Cheng Jin followed closely behind her.
The group went straight down the mountain. Fortunately, Duanjia Village was not far away. Jiang Wan and the others took the people who stopped halfway and followed them into Duanjia Village.
Later they found out that there was a reason why Duan Si was chosen as the bandit leader: he was the son of the previous village head.
After the village head was starved to death, Duan Si's voice was the loudest and everyone listened to him.
Duan Si arranged for them to stay in his own home, but Jiang Wan saw that the small thatched hut was crowded with Duan Si's family and finally refused.
"Are there any unowned houses in your village?"
Jiang Wan didn't want to disturb their family, and also felt that there was no privacy living with them.
Duan Si said in confusion, "Of course there was. Last year, the weather was very cold and an old man with no children in the east of the village froze to death. It was our villagers who pooled money to bury him.
But his house has not been occupied for a long time, and I am afraid it is leaking and there is no firewood for heating. "
"It doesn't matter. We have more people."
Song Jiuyuan didn't want to join them, so Duan Si took them to an abandoned house.
It was a small thatched hut covered in dust. It had two rooms, one was a bedroom for rest, and there was a couch.
The other one is the kitchen where the old man cooks, and the stove and other things are very simple.
"Master, let me clean up!"
Muxiang volunteered, and Song Jiuyuan left the big house for the girls and the small house for the men.
Cheng Jin had difficulty moving his hands and feet, so Song Jiuyuan asked his servants to go to the mountains to prepare firewood as it was almost dark.
Song Jiuyuan frowned and sighed as he looked at the simple house.
"Wanwan, if you can't get used to living here, let's go to town now."
"It's okay. It's not safe to travel after dark. Let's just stay here for one night."
Jiang Wan followed the local customs and even advised him, "If we go to the town in a large group, we might alert the enemy.
It is better to stay here and rest, and wait for news from Song Yi later."
"All right."
Song Jiuyuan reluctantly agreed and said, "If you really can't get used to it, just sleep in the carriage and I'll keep watch."
"I've even slept outdoors before, so there's nothing I can't get used to."
Jiang Wan and the other three girls were not the pretentious types, so they did not help when Cheng Jin was injured.
Song Jiuyuan took people to collect some firewood and came back. Jiang Wan and Fuling had already cleaned the house simply.
Most of the food was given to the people in Duanjia Village, and they ate simple and plain food.
Freshly baked pancakes and a pot of red dates and black chicken soup, which Fuling specially reserved for Cheng Jin.
"Fuling, let's drink together."
Cheng Jin grinned, looking as happy as a fool, and Jiang Wan and the others found it too embarrassing to watch.
"You drink."
Fuling frowned and silently handed the bowl to Cheng Jin with a tone that did not allow for refusal.
Afraid that she would get angry again, Cheng Jin did not refuse, but drank the soup in small sips, perhaps because it was made by Fuling herself.
Cheng Jin even felt that the soup was sweet and he didn't feel any pain from the wound at all.
While everyone was having dinner, there was a knock on the door. Muxiang opened the door and was faced with Duan Sanni's guilty face.
"My dear, I am so sorry for hurting you. These are the wild vegetables I picked specially in the mountains as a token of my appreciation."
Duan Sanni said this to Cheng Jin. There was a gleam in her eyes as she looked at Cheng Jin in the darkness.
