Su Nanxi was taken aback. Wasn't this supposed to be about not needing to repay the favor and just leaving quickly? How did it suddenly turn into making friends?
This transition happened so fast, her brain couldn't keep up!
No, is this a good time to make friends?
Even though she knows she's a good person, she's not in a hurry to make friends, is she?
Su Nanxi looked at the person who spoke. It was the person she had guessed was a maid. She was quite tall, but not thin. She looked a bit fleshy. She had a cheerful personality and wasn't coy.
Is this a young lady or a maid?
"I am the very person that stinky monk wanted to kill! The reason I ended up here was all because of that damned woman's scheme! Once I get back safely, I will never let her off easily! She dared to set a series of traps for me and sent people to hunt me down all the way. She's got some nerve! Heh! Sigh! Don't mention that unlucky thing! I like your personality, and I've decided you're my friend! If you ever need any help in the future, come to the Yao residence in the capital and find me. I will definitely help you without hesitation!"
Yao Xinyue said she was helping you, not helping all of you. This shows that she only recognizes Su Nanxi.
Yao Xinyue watched the whole process, but she didn't intervene because she didn't want to expose herself.
She saw it clearly: Su Nanxi was the most crucial person in the whole!
Therefore, the person she wanted to repay was primarily Su Nanxi.
Su Nanxi was stunned and speechless when she was forced to make friends with someone. Are all the young ladies in the capital like this?
Why does it feel different from what she remembered?
Is this an exception?
Should she be happy or unhappy?
Su Nanxi was about to say something when the other person announced that they would be friends, handed her a jade pendant, and told her to visit her when she went to the capital. Then she turned and left!
Tsk!
What's going on here?
Su Nanxi looked at the jade pendant in her hand. It looked quite ordinary and didn't seem to have any special function. Sigh, do people in the capital really like giving jade pendants as gifts?
She felt like she needed a jade pendant too!
Oh well, it's just an ordinary jade pendant, nothing too valuable. I'll just take it. If I ever run out of money in the future, I can use it as a substitute!
He tossed the jade pendant into his spatial storage; there was no safer place than his spatial storage now!
When the others saw that they had all returned, they were curious about what they had said and all looked at Su Nanxi behind them.
But Su Nanxi didn't mention what had just happened. With a calm expression, she urged the group to leave.
The villagers hesitated, looking at each other, but in the end, no one asked.
The village chief didn't even ask, so how could they dare to ask any more questions!
At first, the village chief didn't understand either, and even thought it wasn't good to send people away like this, but when Su Nanxi said that the faster they left, the better, and it would be best to take a shortcut, he instantly understood.
However, since Su Nanxi didn't make it clear, he didn't want to pry, as it was clearly not something he could ask.
Yao Xinyue took a few steps, then turned back to Su Nanxi and said, "Keep the things I gave you safe, and remember to come find me later!"
Since that's what they said, Su Nanxi had no choice but to agree, "Okay!"
But she didn't take it to heart. Many people say that when they part ways, but how many of them will actually do it in the end?
That young lady was just acting on a whim; she might forget about it soon enough. Some things are best left unsaid and not taken too seriously!
However, if she really needs help, she might ask someone for assistance!
Once the people had gone some distance, some villagers began to discuss it quietly.
Su Nanxi spoke nonsense with a straight face, "There are some things you shouldn't know, and it's best not to ask! The more you know, the faster you'll die! Let's all pretend we never saw these people to avoid trouble! We don't know them, so we'll be safe once they leave! Who knows what they do! Let's hurry up and leave too!"
Mo Qinghe looked at Su Nanxi helplessly. Fine, whatever his wife said!
At this moment, no one had any other thoughts but to live well. After hearing what Su Nanxi said, they thought that Su Nanxi had tricked them into leaving and that following them would bring them danger!
It doesn't matter who those people are anymore; they've never seen them before!
Fearing that someone might actually catch up with them, everyone hurried on their way in perfect unison.
Upon arriving at the city gate, they saw many people standing still. Everyone assumed that, as before, they would need to pay a toll to pass through, and they felt a bit annoyed.
I wonder if the toll fees here have increased, and by how much. If they've increased too much, they'll be short of money!
I finally saved up some money, but I haven't had it for long before it's all going to be spent. I'm really reluctant to spend it!
Making money is tough these days!
They didn't have the courage to venture into the mountains again, and they couldn't find any more precious medicinal herbs. Those herbs weren't something you could just find whenever you wanted!
well!
I'm so heartbroken, I just sigh!
This is such a difficult choice!
If you run out of money and have no other choice, whether you like it or not, in order to survive, you have to venture into the deep mountains even if you know there are tigers lurking there!
So many people are stuck here, it must be because the toll is too high and none of them can afford it!
Su Nanxi didn't make wild guesses; she went directly to investigate, as that would provide the most accurate information.
"What?! They won't let us pass? What's going on?"
The village chief panicked after hearing what Su Nanxi had said.
His first reaction was that there was unrest, and for safety reasons, he wouldn't let anyone in.
They're out there now, so if something bad happens, they'll have nowhere to hide.
It would be a lie to say I'm not worried!
I've heard storytellers mention riots before; could this be the situation now?
That would be a huge problem!
Riots will result in casualties!
Seeing that the village chief was overthinking things, Su Nanxi explained, "It's to prevent the bandits from escaping, so they're not letting us pass for now. They mean that we'll definitely be able to pass in a couple of days!"
The village chief was relieved to hear that it wasn't what he thought, but when he realized it was because of the bandits, his heart tightened again. This was even more serious!
Those are all malicious people. If we don't catch them, are we supposed to keep them here forever?
The thought that those bandits might treat them badly made them inexplicably panicked.
Su Nanxi said, "There's nothing we can do about it. They won't let us pass, so there's no point in arguing. We might as well find a place to stay temporarily and see how things go before we leave."
The village chief thought that this was the only way. There were so many people here, and it would be difficult to find a place to disperse them. It would be better to leave first.
So, without thinking too much, I told everyone to quickly pack up and leave.
The environment here is much better than in Changna Village; at least there's water, so people can survive.
Some people considered staying; they had walked for so long and were exhausted, and all they wanted was to survive.
But thinking of how rampant these thieves were, he gave up the idea.
"Everyone must be exhausted from the journey, so let's take a good rest these next couple of days!"
"This place is nice! Maybe we can catch some wild animals!"
