While the two of them were playing, Xiao Hechuan had already picked a bag of wild apricots.
"Wife, Lanlan, come here quickly, I can't fit any more."
Hearing his call, the two sisters hurried over. Xiao Hechuan picked the apricots and threw them on the grass, and the two sisters were responsible for picking them up.
Wild apricot trees cannot grow too tall, so they only produce a few fruits. Some of them are not ripe yet, so Xiao Lanlan didn't let them be picked, saying that they should be allowed to grow longer.
Soon, the first tree was finished, followed by the second, making a total of three wild apricot trees.
Rather than saying that they are wild apricots, it is more reasonable to suspect that someone passed by several years ago and sowed the seeds, and then the previous generation planted the trees and the next generation ate the fruit.
Otherwise, how could there be several apricot trees that bear fruit steadily in the mountain stream?
Xiao Hechuan climbed up the tree nimbly, while Jiang Sui and Xiao Lanlan were waiting below. The mountain stream was actually a maple forest with dense leaves that blocked out the sun. The sunlight from above shone through the treetops and leaves, casting patches of light and shadows.
Jiang Sui looked up and reasonably suspected that someone must have lived here before.
Such a beautiful artistic conception. In autumn, when the maple leaves turn red, it is breathtakingly beautiful.
Apricot blossoms fall in April and apricots ripen in May. There is also a small pond. It would be so cozy to build a small wooden house here.
As his eyes swept across, Jiang Sui saw a piece of white at the foot of a maple tree. It looked like white cloth, covered with fallen leaves, and it was not very clear.
Looking closely, it felt like there was a person lying there. She felt her heart skip a beat instantly, and all the romantic scenes in her mind turned into fear.
So she pulled Xiao Lanlan:
"Lanlan, look, is there someone lying over there?"
When Jiang Sui said this, Xiao Lanlan suddenly felt a chill down her spine.
"Fourth sister-in-law, don't scare me, I'm timid!" She grabbed Jiang Sui's arm and pressed him against her.
"Really? If you don't believe me, look carefully." Jiang Sui was also a little scared and pointed his hand not far away.
The courage of both of them put together is not as big as an egg.
Finally, Xiao Hechuan jumped down from the tree. He frowned and scratched his head:
"I'll go and have a look. I'm brave."
As he said that, he walked over there, and Jiang Sui told him to be careful.
After walking over, Xiao Hechuan squatted down and took a look, and found that it was indeed a person, lying there on his side, with wet clothes, probably wet by the morning dew.
His hair covered his face and he was wearing white clothes. Judging from his stature, he looked to be a man, about the same height as Xiao Hechuan.
"How is it, Fourth Brother?" Xiao Lanlan asked from behind.
Xiao Hechuan raised his hand behind him:
“It’s really a person!”
Xiao Hechuan reached out and pushed aside the hair that was blocking his face, revealing a pale and handsome face with many scratches on it, probably caused by leaves and branches.
His white clothes were bleeding in several places, and there was blood wherever the clothes were torn.
Logically, Xiao Hechuan should be afraid, but he didn't feel afraid. He was very calm. Maybe he was just that brave.
Jiang Sui and Xiao Lanlan walked over and saw this scene. Xiao Lanlan was so scared that she dared not speak and her face turned pale.
Jiang Sui was fine. Although he was scared, his reaction was not as strong as Xiao Lanlan's.
And with just this one glance, Jiang Sui immediately recognized the person on the ground.
He was a young man, the same man who got off the carriage that she and Xiao's mother saw when they left Jishan Hall that day.
She clearly remembered that the people in Jishan Hall called him the Second Young Master.
How could he be here? He was so injured. Judging from his appearance, he must have fallen down. I don't know if he is still alive.
Jiang Sui patted Xiao Lanlan's hand to comfort her, then squatted down and reached out to feel the young master's breath.
Still breathing, still alive.
"Fourth sister-in-law, is he still alive?" Xiao Lanlan asked worriedly.
"Still breathing, still alive."
"What should I do?" Xiao Lanlan was panicked. She never thought that she would encounter such a thing when she came out to pick wild apricots.
Jiang Sui quickly calmed down and weighed the pros and cons in his mind.
This man must not be an ordinary person. If we rescue him today, it will be a great favor and will definitely be useful to the Xiao family in the future.
As expected, this person must be a big shot in Jishan Hall.
What's more, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Since he is still alive, we can't just stand by and watch him die.
"Let's take him back first. After all, it's a human life, so we can do good deeds."
Xiao Lanlan nodded. She was not a heartless person, so she naturally agreed with Jiang Sui's proposal.
There is no need to say anything about Xiao Hechuan, as his wife has already spoken.
"Hechuan, you are strong, you carry him."
"Okay!" Xiao Hechuan agreed readily.
After the three of them made the decision, they went together to help the person.
"Be gentle, we don't know where he's hurt. If he's injured a bone and we don't pay attention, he'll be useless in the future."
Judging from the situation at the scene, this person fell from a height and inevitably suffered broken bones. Bone injuries are no small matter and if not handled properly, he might become disabled.
It was just getting close to dusk. The downside of the Xiao family moving house was that it wasn't as lively as before, but the upside was that no one would see anything they moved into the house.
Because to go to the mountain you have to pass by the Xiao family, but the Xiao family doesn’t have to pass by other people’s houses.
Xiao Hechuan carried the person back all the way, with more than 100 kilograms on his back. It took him half an hour longer and he was very tired.
When they came back, Xiao's mother was shocked. My goodness, they had to bring something back every time they went up the mountain, but this time they actually brought back a person, and he was half-dead.
The previous times were surprises, this time it was a shock.
Xiao Yi was also confused, but as the only man at home, he took the initiative to take responsibility.
"What's going on?"
He was relatively calm. When he saw that the man was seriously injured, he helped move the man to his eldest brother's room, because the other brothers had all married and it was inappropriate for them to live with a strange man.
Jiang Sui told him the situation. When Xiao's mother saw the injured young man, she recognized him as the young man from Jishan Hall that day.
This young man is handsome and has a good temperament, so he is very impressive.
"This... isn't this the young man from Jishan Hall that day?" Xiao's mother looked at Jiang Sui blankly.
Jiang Sui nodded and said calmly:
"Mom, it's him. I recognized him. That day, I heard the guys at Jishan Hall call him the Second Young Master with great respect. I thought he must be the most important person in Jishan Hall. I thought I couldn't just stand by and watch him die. Besides, I thought saving him would be a big favor in the future and would benefit our Xiao family. It's reasonable and emotional. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. I will be rewarded in the future."
Jiang Sui is not a selfless person. If a person has no selfishness at all, he is not a human being but a god.
But even gods cannot be without any selfishness. This idea is neither shameful nor superficial.
It's not that I'm expecting some real money in return, but that having more friends means having more options, so that when I encounter problems, I'll never be left without help.
