Chapter 13 Please be kind, girl
"My cousin, my grandmother loves you so much that she asked me to come and see you. Please bring your sister-in-law, Aunt Feng, and the others with you."
He Luxue's voice was very soft, like snow and frost falling on plum blossoms with a cool fragrance.
"I'm not going anywhere here." The straight man Fu Xuanheng doesn't know how to be gentle with women. His face is like icicles under the eaves of the corridor in December.
"But grandma said how could you stay in the Shen family? ...The Shen family is so small that you are being wronged."
"I am the son-in-law of the Shen family. This is what I should do following the Shen family." Fu Xuanheng rubbed his kneecaps with his hands while speaking.
He Luxue showed a look of disgust when she saw his actions.
It was just a fleeting thought, and she immediately regained her gentle demeanor as a lady from a wealthy family. "Since my cousin has disregarded our family's affection and insisted on going with the Shen family, I have no choice but to report the truth to my grandmother."
After saying this, he bowed and left quickly.
I was walking too fast and accidentally stepped on a puddle of dirt and stumbled.
Shen Yunyue was collecting her belongings in the carriage. When she heard no more noise outside, she jumped off.
Fu Xuanheng frowned: "You should go slower too. If you get hurt, you'll cry."
"He can get his face broken from falling from such a height. What incredible luck!" Shen Yunyue walked aside and started to make a fire.
The howling north wind blew over, causing pain on people's faces.
Shen Yunyue found a spot sheltered from the wind, and the carriages surrounding them partially blocked the wind. "Xuan Heng, you watch over the fire. I'll go get some water from the pond."
"Don't catch any fish when your fourth uncle goes hunting in the woods. Come back after getting some water." Fu Xuanheng regretted what he said. Why did he talk so much?
"Okay." Shen Yunyue picked up the bucket and left.
After walking for a while, I smelled blood in the air.
Shen Yunyue thought that maybe it was a wild beast looking for food, maybe she could find something good.
I followed the smell of blood for a while.
Behind a tree, a man in a brocade robe appeared. His handsome face was pale. His long black hair was pinned with a high-quality white jade hairpin, and his clothes were ripped by swords and other sharp weapons.
The man leaned against the tree, his sword raised and then half-lowered.
Shen Yunyue took a glance, then turned around and left with the wooden barrel.
"Hey. Are you just going to watch someone die without helping?" The man used his sword to support himself on the ground and tried to get up, but he couldn't stand up after several attempts.
"Why should I save you?" Shen Yunyue asked coldly.
She no longer paid attention to the man's jade-like eyes staring at her. The man was very handsome, but good looks could not be spent as money.
The man took a few breaths and said, "You have some medicine on you. It can save my life."
"It has nothing to do with you. I'm a cold-hearted person. The word 'saving people' doesn't exist in my vocabulary."
"I have gold, I want to buy your golden medicine." The man said anxiously, unable to complain.
He was afraid that if he spoke too slowly, Shen Yunyue would run away.
Shen Yunyue smiled widely and turned back. She saw him take something out of his pocket, and found two gold ingots lying on his palms facing upwards.
Who dislikes having too much money?
Shen Yunyue's eyes were curved like the half moon in the sky, and she walked towards him briskly.
His words were no longer as cold as before, but rather full of joy at making money. "You miser, you're so tight-fisted with money even though your life is at risk. I'll be a good person to the end and exchange some gold wound medicine for you."
Shen Yunyue took the gold from him.
She took out a packet of medicine from her waist belt and handed it to him.
"There's not much medicine for wounds. But your forty taels of gold can't buy me any medicine right now. I'm too kind-hearted to bear the pain of hardship."
The man frowned and thought to himself that you are just greedy for money.
"Miss, forty taels of gold can buy a medicine shop. Please be kind."
Shen Yunyue curled her lips and smiled. What is kindness?
"How much is kindness worth?"
The man rolled his eyes weakly, thinking it was like playing the lute to a cow. He sniffed and said, "Girl, I have nothing to eat. Can I..."
"No. Forty taels of gold and you still have so many demands. How shameless do you have to be?"
"You are taking advantage of the situation."
"Yeah. If I hadn't taken advantage of the situation, do you think you could have survived?"
The man sighed and took out a silver ingot from his pocket. "This is a ten-liang silver ingot, enough to buy the food you have on you."
Shen Yunyue smiled with her eyes curved, and her whole body was filled with the joy of making money.
"Sure. I have some steamed buns here. I'll be nice and sell them to you." Shen Yunyue took out a few steamed buns from the bucket and handed them to him with a smile.
"Help me apply the medicine."
"You're buying medicine, not asking me to treat you. That's too much to ask."
"Miss, please. My back is seriously injured and I can't apply medicine to myself." The man stared at Shen Yunyue with a pleading look. "Just think of it as a gesture of kindness."
"Forget it. I owe you." Shen Yunyue made so much money, it would be bad if she didn't save him.
He came up behind the man and untied his clothes.
People who practice martial arts have very strong muscles.
A wound on his back had already festering, and the thick, turbid yellow fluid gave off a fishy odor. Shen Yunyue had iodine in her space for debridement.
The injured man had his back to Shen Yunyue and could not see Shen Yunyue's movements clearly.
She put on disposable gloves and first used a cotton ball coated with iodine to clean the wound. Then she took out a knife from the space and directly removed the rotten flesh.
Finally, he was given medicine and bandaged with gauze.
All the movements were done in one go, without any hesitation.
The man endured the pain and thought to himself: This little girl is so brave.
She was so calm in the face of his wounds.
I became curious about Shen Yunyue. "May I know your name?"
"We won't meet again. The name is just a code name."
Shen Yunyue returned the used gloves and other things to the space, where there was a garbage recycling bin from another world.
"I have a pill here, I'll give it to you for free." Shen Yunyue handed him an anti-inflammatory pill. Putting it in his hand, she said, "This pill is much more valuable than forty taels of gold. You can't buy it even if you have piles of gold."
What Shen Yunyue said was right. These ancient anti-inflammatory drugs were very effective in storage.
After saying that, he left without looking back.
The man touched the bandage and inadvertently saw the piece of rotten flesh.
The faint eyes followed Shen Yunyue all the time.
Shen Yunyue only carried a bucket of water back.
Fu Xuanheng seems to be in much better health these days and he hasn't taken any medicine.
Only Fu Xuanheng knew that it was because of Shen Yunyue. Whenever he got close to Shen Yunyue, a stream of vitality would continuously flow into his body.
Ah Si came back with a pheasant and put a few pheasant eggs in his short jacket.
The monkeys beside him were holding two skinned rabbits and smiled at Ah Si with raised eyebrows. Ah Si had beaten the skinned rabbits and given them to them.
The Shen family is large.
You can only drink it by stewing pheasant soup.
When Shen Yunyue returned to the gathering place, Ah Si had already placed the pheasant in a clay pot. He also washed the eggs and put them in there. "Miss Yue, the forest is dangerous. You must not go in."
"Uncle Si. I understand."
Shen Yunyue put down the bucket and sat next to Fu Xuanheng. The rest of the family lined up to receive their steamed bread, and everyone was silent.
Many people stared at the Shen family, wishing they could rob them right away. They also had servants and slaves at home, and if something happened, they would all be sent to the government office.
"Why would the Shen family's servants follow them?" The fat woman from last time was not convinced and stared at Shen Yunyue with gritted teeth.
"Guess how he followed me here? It's not like he signed a death contract, so Uncle Si won't be implicated in this incident." Shen Yunyue took the steamed bread and shook it in her hand.
"There's no respect for inferiority, just call a servant uncle."
"You are just commoners now, but my Fourth Uncle is still a good citizen after all." Shen Yunyue retorted without any hesitation.
