Yuanbao stretched out his foot and tripped the villain.
Before Cuizhu could even express her gratitude, Yuanbao snatched the money bag from the villain's hand, threw it to her, and hurriedly left.
Cuizhu kept this matter in her heart, but unfortunately, she never saw Yuanbao again after that.
Cuizhu never expected that she would meet Yuanbao again in the capital city, thousands of miles away.
This time, Yuanbao saved both his own life and his mistress's.
Of course, there's also Young Master Han.
Han Mingyue gave Yuanbao a meaningful look. She never expected that this kid would secretly save a damsel in distress without her knowledge.
Yuanbao touched his nose a little embarrassedly and smiled, "It is indeed me. I didn't expect to meet you here."
As for why Yuanbao remembered Cuizhu after only a brief meeting, it can only be said that Yuanbao rarely encountered a simple and honest woman like Cuizhu.
If Yuanbao hadn't been in trouble that day, he wouldn't have been in such a hurry and would have definitely helped Cuizhu take the thief to the yamen.
Seeing that several people were holding the thief down, Yuanbao quickly left.
"Young man, I know you are a gentleman, but my hand is injured today and I really can't untie the vines binding me. Please help me untie them and quickly pull my young lady up too!" Cuizhu said anxiously.
She hadn't spoken because she didn't understand Han Mingyue and her servant.
But with Yuanbao helping her first, Cuizhu dispelled her worries.
Yuanbao thought for a moment and decided to act expediently in this urgent situation. Besides, the young master and Miss Lin were both there and knew that he was doing this to save someone, so it certainly wouldn't affect Cuizhu's reputation.
Even assuming there are only four of them here, if you don't tell and I don't tell, who would know?
Han Mingyue, standing to the side, pouted in dissatisfaction, thinking that this little girl was just like her master.
The implication behind his words was that he wasn't a good person.
Yuanbao stepped forward and carefully helped Cuizhu untangle the vines. During this process, in order not to touch Cuizhu, Yuanbao even raised his pinky finger, which made Cuizhu and Han Mingyue's mouths twitch.
After a few moments, the vines were finally untied. Yuanbao quickly took a few steps back, and Cuizhu let out a long sigh of relief.
When Yuanbao helped her untangle the vines, she was so breathless that she couldn't breathe until Yuanbao stepped back.
Han Mingyue was the first to pick up the vine and quickly threw one end into the hole.
"Miss Lin, grab that end, we'll pull you up!" Han Mingyue shouted towards the pit.
Cuizhu and Yuanbao also hurried towards the pit entrance, preparing to pull Lin Xiyao up together.
Lin Xiyao looked at the rope, then at the wild boar in front of her. After thinking for a moment, she unhesitatingly wrapped the vines around the wild boar.
Han Mingyue was exasperated and shouted, "Miss Lin, this pig is already dead, there's no way to save it even if we pull it up! Stop messing around at a time like this!"
With the last rays of sunlight still visible, Han Mingyue could see clearly that blood was flowing like a river beneath the wild boar.
"Yes, Miss, please come up first!" Cuizhu called out anxiously.
The pit reeked of blood, and Cuizhu frowned.
Lin Xiyao said with a smile, "Young Master Han, this wild boar just died recently. Everyone who came looking for me and Cuizhu probably hasn't even had dinner yet. It's perfect to take it back and share it with everyone!"
Even Han Mingyue came out to find Lin Xiyao and the others, so she knew that Gu Lili must have mobilized almost everyone in the village.
After hearing this, Han Mingyue could only nod helplessly at Yuanbao.
With their combined efforts, the two people managed to pull the wild boar, which weighed over 200 pounds, up.
After pulling him up, Yuanbao untied the vines and threw him back into the deep pit.
This time, Lin Xiyao did not hesitate. She carried the basket on her back, gripped the vines tightly with both hands, and Han Mingyue and the other two worked together to pull her up.
Because Lin Xiyao twisted her leg, she was pulled up and was lying on the ground.
Cuizhu quickly helped Lin Xiyao sit up with her uninjured hand, and then, unable to hold back any longer, threw herself into Lin Xiyao's arms and cried.
"Miss, we're saved! Waaaaah..."
Lin Xiyao wanted to cry too, but when she met Han Mingyue's gaze, she forced back the tears that were welling up in her eyes.
Lin Xiyao composed herself, cleared her throat, and patted Cuizhu's head.
"Alright, alright, stop crying, stop crying, let's go home," Lin Xiyao said earnestly.
Upon hearing that she was going home, Cuizhu sobbed a few times and quickly got up from Lin Xiyao's arms.
Seemingly only then realizing that there were other people present, she smiled apologetically.
Han Mingyue glanced at the sky, crossed her arms, and said to the two of them, "Let's hurry up and leave. Once it gets completely dark, wild animals will definitely appear."
And then there's the wild boar that Lin Xiyao insisted on bringing along; who knows what it might attract with its bloody smell.
However, once Lin Xiyao spoke up, Han Mingyue, though aware of the consequences, inexplicably agreed.
The burden of fighting the wild boar naturally fell on Yuanbao's shoulders. This 200-pound wild boar was not a big problem for Yuanbao.
He had been practicing martial arts with Han Mingyue since he was a child, so with a clever move, Yuanbao was able to carry the wild boar on his shoulder.
Cuizhu was stunned. Yuanbao looked thin, but she didn't expect him to be so strong.
Han Mingyue raised an eyebrow at Lin Xiyao, signaling her to get up and head home.
Lin Xiyao bit her lower lip lightly, and with Cuizhu's help, she stood up on one foot.
It was only then that Han Mingyue noticed that Lin Xiyao seemed to have injured one of her legs.
"Miss Lin, is it easy for you to walk on one leg?" Han Mingyue asked.
What were meant to be words of concern took on a different meaning when they reached Lin Xiyao's ears.
Lin Xiyao felt that Han Mingyue was mocking her for being one-legged.
Lin Xiyao snorted coldly and said stubbornly, "Hmph! Just leave, stop talking so much!"
As he spoke, he helped Cuizhu and hopped forward.
Han Mingyue smiled helplessly and slowly followed behind Lin Xiyao and her servant.
Han Mingyue's big yellow dog led the way, followed closely by Yuanbao carrying a wild boar, with Lin Xiyao and the other person in the middle, and Han Mingyue walking behind, so she could keep an eye on the surroundings for any danger.
The mountain path was already rugged, and as darkness fell, coupled with the fact that Lin Xiyao only had one leg, she hadn't walked more than a few steps when she lost her footing and was about to fall straight down.
Cui Zhu hadn't eaten all day, and with her hand injured, she didn't have much strength to support Lin Xi Yao.
Seeing that Cuizhu was about to fall because of her, Lin Xiyao quickly let go of her hand.
It's better for one person to fall than for the bamboo to fall down with them.
Because Lin Xiyao let go in time, Cuizhu was not affected.
But Lin Xiyao was in trouble. She was about to fall when Han Mingyue quickly stepped forward and caught her around the waist.
