Chapter 429: Escape

Song Jin saw the thieves on the other side of the river running along the river.

As if trying to catch up with her bamboo raft.

Some people even jumped into the water and swam towards the bamboo raft.

Song Jin was prepared for this. He used bamboo poles to support the raft to prevent it from deviating, and then sped up the raft.

As long as you are fast enough, the other party won't be able to catch up.

Song Jin knew about his own broken body.

If she didn't use the raft to escape, and only relied on her legs to walk, she would collapse without the thieves getting close to her. On the contrary, the current here was fast, and it was dangerous to use the raft to go down, but it was better than staying where she was and waiting to die.

At least there's a glimmer of hope.

Perhaps God was kind to Song Jin after all. The people who were chasing her on the shore were blocked by a cliff and could no longer chase her. The one who jumped into the water to chase Song Jin was also unable to catch up and could only go ashore cursing.

Song Jin sat down weakly on the bamboo raft.

Let the water flow push the bamboo raft.

After resting for a while, she wanted to pick up the bamboo pole and stand up to support the raft. Suddenly, her eyes went dark and she fainted on the raft.

When Song Jin regained consciousness, he found himself lying in a simple mud house.

It's already dark outside.

There was an old oil lamp lit in the room, and the light was very dim.

"Hey, you awake?"

The voice of a teenage girl.

Song Jin felt dizzy and wanted to stand up, but he felt so weak that he quickly fell back. He wanted to open his mouth to speak, but his throat felt like it was on fire.

I was speechless for a moment.

The little girl spat, "No, no, don't move. You've had a high fever for two days. It's not easy to wake up. And how come you were so badly injured and had a miscarriage? Doctor Lin said you almost died."

Then the little girl brought another bowl of warm water.

Carefully fed it to Song Jin.

With this water, my throat finally felt a little better.

"Thank you, girl."

Song Jin's voice was hoarse and not very clear.

The little girl understood and smiled shyly, "You're welcome, you're welcome, hehe."

After saying that, she ran out.

I went to inform the elders at home that Song Jin had woken up. After a while, several women crowded into the small mud house. They were the head of the family, the old woman, and her five daughters-in-law. Fortunately, they just came to take a look and were sent away by the old woman.

"How are you, young lady? Are you feeling better?"

The old woman asked with a smile on her face.

Song Jin said gratefully, "I feel much better now. Thank you very much, Auntie. I will definitely repay you for saving my life in the future."

"What are you talking about, young lady? We don't want that reward." The old woman said this, but her smile was obviously much more sincere than before.

Song Jin followed up with a few words.

It didn't take long to learn that the people in this village were surnamed Sun.

Aunt Sun's home was not far from the river. When the children were playing by the river, they found Song Jin fainted on the bamboo raft. They went home to call the adults and rescued Song Jin from the river.

When Aunt Sun was changing Song Jin's clothes, she found that the young wife was in a miserable condition. Not only did she have an injury on her shoulder, but she also seemed to have had a miscarriage. So she paid to hire a doctor for Song Jin.

Fortunately, the doctor was from the village.

It doesn't cost much to hire a doctor. Otherwise, the Sun family would not have the money even if they wanted to save the patient.

Song Jin asked about his current location.

Just as I was thinking about how to contact Xing Lun and others, I heard some noise coming from the house in the middle of the night, and the faint sound of horse hooves.

“Knock knock.”

There were two gentle knocks on the door.

Song Jin woke up from his daze, "Who is it?"

A tired and hoarse voice was heard from outside, with a hint of excitement and surprise, "Boss? I'm Xing Lun, are you okay?"

Song Jin finally put his mind at ease.

Xing Lun asked again: "Is it convenient for me to come in?"

"Come in."

Song Jin hesitated before replying.

Not only Song Jin lived in the mud house, but the little girl also lived in the house.

At this time, the little girl was awakened and was rubbing her eyes sleepily. Song Jin allowed Xing Lun to come in only after seeing that her clothes were neat.

Xing Lun pushed the door open.

Seeing Song Jin lying on the bed, looking sick and haggard, his eyes suddenly turned red. He came up and knelt in front of the bed, "It is my fault that I failed to protect the master. I am willing to accept the punishment."

"This matter has nothing to do with you, so don't blame yourself."

Song Jin called Xing Lun up and asked about the child.

Xing Lun said the child was safe now and told Song Jin not to worry, "I brought a carriage here, is the boss going to leave?"

"Let's leave, it's not safe here." Song Jin didn't know when the thieves found their way here.

Xing Lun picked up Song Jin and the quilt, and said softly, "I'm sorry."

Then he walked outside.

Then he left the house and got into a carriage.

Lou Ruhan, who came along, thanked the Sun family, gave them some money in private, and said that they would be rewarded handsomely in the future.

In fact, many people have had a hard time in these three days.

Xing Lun contacted Lou Ruhan and others and hurried back to the village in the mountains. When he learned that Song Jin was almost in trouble and left in the middle of the night, he wished he could die to atone for his crime if he didn't have two young masters to take care of.

Later, Xing Lun privately approached a local wealthy businessman.

Xing Lun has business dealings with the other party.

Ask him to help find his lost wife.

This wealthy businessman had several connections, covering all walks of life. He asked these people to inquire, and they really found Song Jin.

In fact, Xing Lun is not the only one looking for people.

The people of Shunan Trading Company were also secretly searching for Song Jin and the two young masters. As for why the trading company realized it so late, it was because some of them discovered that the trading company was being followed. The shopkeeper ordered people to arrest the people who were following them and tortured them, and then they found out that Song Jin was in trouble.

I was so scared that I almost lost my soul at that moment.

He immediately sent everyone to look for Song Jin.

A group of people ran into the killer in the mountains.

After a standoff, they started fighting without saying a word.

On one hand, he recognized the thief from the rebel side, and on the other hand, he discovered that it was the hidden hand of Shunjia Trading Company.

Wait until the people from Shunan Commercial Bank find the Sun family.

Song Jin has been taken away by Xing Lun and his whereabouts are unknown.

After tracing, they found the whereabouts of Lou Ruhan and others. It seemed that they were looking for something. They contacted them, but Lou Ruhan did not tell the truth, only saying that they were also looking for someone.

Song Jin and Xing Lun pretended to be a couple to evade pursuit. They were supposed to go to Huizhou, but instead went to Anqing Prefecture and recuperated in the home of a local squire in the town.

Xing Lun met the squire through business.

Xing Lun asked the local gentry to keep it a secret, saying that he was out with his wife and children and did not want to reveal his whereabouts. The gentry promised to compensate him with a big business in the future.

Xing Lun had a fleet and a good source of goods, so there was no shortage of merchants who wanted to get in touch with him. It was just a small request, and there was no reason to refuse. When the squire learned that Xing Lun's family was unwell, he immediately asked his servants to send the best medicinal materials in the mansion.

Song Jin didn't care at first.

When he picked up the herbs, he was extremely shocked and said in a trembling voice, "This is... such a good-looking herb. Did you sell it to him?"

"no."

Xing Lun went forward to check carefully. "The boss should have the answer in his mind. These herbs are very new."

Jifang has developed well in recent years.

The quality of the medicinal materials is famously good.

In fact, the family knows their own business, and the overall quality is not as good as the craftsmanship of the master chef of the Song's Pharmacy in the past. Therefore, the medicinal materials of Jifang never use the name of Huizhou Song's medicinal materials.

Because everyone knows that what they sell are not authentic Song’s medicinal herbs.

And this old craft actually appeared in the home of a country gentry?
