Chapter 1267: Miss Cousin Does Not Want to Be Entrusted to Her (12)
"Miss! These chestnuts are so big..." Zhichun said with great surprise, and couldn't wait to pick up the chestnuts on the ground.
Jin Shichu looked up at the clusters of chestnuts hanging on the branches of the tree, and she was eager to try them. So she said to Zhichun, "Zhichun, those on the tree are fresher. I'll go pick some."
"No! Miss, this tree is so tall, it's very difficult to climb. And what if you run out of strength and fall down halfway up? It's too dangerous." Zhichun was so scared when he heard her say this that he immediately objected.
"Have you forgotten that I practiced martial arts? I still have enough physical strength to climb trees. Don't worry, I wouldn't go up if I wasn't sure." Jin Shichu said confidently.
Zhichun still disagreed. She said anxiously, "Miss, this is not a question of whether I can rest assured. If you really fall from the tree, let alone whether you are seriously injured, we are very far away from the academy now. If you fall, I, a person with average physical strength, will not be able to help you down the mountain. Don't be impulsive..."
Zhichun was so anxious that she almost cried. Seeing this, Jin Shichu sighed and compromised, saying, "Well, I won't climb up. But I can still pick some fresh chestnuts even if I don't climb the tree."
"How to pick it?" Zhichun had just breathed a sigh of relief, but when he heard her words, his heart began to tighten again.
Jin Shichu walked to the side and broke off a small tree that was three fingers thick, long and straight. Then he took out a knife to cut off the branch, held it and walked back, smiling and saying to Zhichun: "Use this long stick to hit the trees, and they will fall down."
Zhichun was relieved when she saw that this was not a dangerous behavior. She said, "Miss, you are so smart!"
Jin Shichu smiled complacently, then took the wooden stick and hit the chestnuts on the chestnut tree hard. The chestnuts soon fell down with a crackling sound and landed all over the ground.
"Miss, you are so amazing. You have lost so much!" Zhichun was very happy.
"Of course!" Jin Shichu was very pleased with herself. She had used some skill, so how could she not lose a lot?
"Don't get too close to the bottom of the tree, be careful of chestnuts falling on your head. Those are unshelled chestnuts, full of thorns, which can hit your head and make you bleed." Jin Shichu reminded Zhichun.
"Got it." Zhichun nodded obediently.
Jin Shichu stopped only when the ground was almost covered with chestnuts. Zhichun immediately rushed over happily to pick them up.
While she wasn't paying attention, Jin Shichu took out an inconspicuous cloth bag from the companion space, handed it to her, and said, "Put it in this."
"Miss, you actually brought a cloth bag with you?" Zhichun said in surprise.
"Yeah, because I know there are a lot of wild fruits on the mountain in autumn. It's better to bring them with me. Anyway, cloth bags are light, don't take up space, and are easy to carry."
"Miss, you are so foresighted!" Zhichun looked at Jin Shichu with eyes shining with admiration.
"Of course." Jin Shichu said without blushing.
With the cloth bag, Zhichun picked up the trash more enthusiastically. Jin Shichu also helped. However, as she was picking up the trash, she suddenly smelled a faint smell of blood.
In this desolate mountain and wilderness, smelling blood is not a good thing. Jin Shichu's eyes darkened. He did not disturb Zhichun who was picking chestnuts happily. He just told her that he was going to relieve himself nearby, and then went in the direction of the blood smell.
In order to save time and avoid alerting the enemy, Jin Shichu used his Qinggong skills and moved freely in the woods like a bird.
Soon, she followed the smell of blood and found the source, a hidden cave.
She looked into the cave vigilantly, and her excellent eyesight allowed her to easily recognize that the injured person inside was not a wild beast, but a human.
A person suddenly appeared in the deep mountains and forests, was injured, and seemed unconscious. It was obvious that he was not an ordinary person. Jin Shichu became more alert.
Because he didn't know the identity of the injured person, Jin Shichu didn't know whether to save him or not. What if the person inside was a bad guy? Wouldn't it be helping the evil if he saved him? But what if he was a good person? Wouldn't it be a waste of time to watch him die?
After hesitating for a while, Jin Shichu decided to go in and see what the man looked like. Although the saying "appearance reflects the heart" may not be necessarily true, it is true that experienced people can tell a person's true nature from their appearance. Jin Shichu has met many people, and he also learned the art of metaphysics in his previous life, so he can tell the difference in appearance.
So she walked in and carefully turned the unconscious person over. When she saw his face clearly, Jin Shichu's eyes widened in shock.
Isn't this Wei Ning, the original owner's fiancé in the original world? !
As soon as she saw it was him, Jin Shichu sneered. This kind of person who was fickle and treated promises and integrity as shit was not worth saving!
In the original world, Wei Ning took over most of the Jin family's property and promised Jin Xiangrong that he would marry the original owner and treat her well for the rest of his life.
However, as soon as Jin Xiangrong passed away, he abandoned the original owner to Wanqu Villa and went out to travel. Then, on the way, he met a chivalrous woman from the martial arts world. They got to know each other through a fight, and they traveled in the martial arts world like a pair of happy enemies. After a long time, they fell in love and became a famous golden boy and jade girl in the martial arts world. Everyone thought they were a perfect match.
However, when Wei Ning finished his travels and returned to Wanqu Villa with the chivalrous woman, Zhou Wei reminded him that he had a fiancée. But he did not love his fiancée, he only loved the chivalrous woman. What should he do?
So Wei Ning went to find the original owner, hoping that she would voluntarily withdraw and allow him and the chivalrous woman to be together.
However, the original owner's parents had both passed away, and she was left with only two elderly loyal servants. Wei Ning was the fiancé chosen for her by her father himself, and she had long regarded him as her future support. But now he came to her and told her that he had fallen in love with another woman and wanted her to withdraw and make them happy. How could she bear this?
Besides, at that time, she had nowhere to go except Wanqu Villa. If Wei Ning didn't marry her, what would she do? She couldn't stay in Wanqu Villa anymore! Therefore, she didn't agree to cancel the engagement, but was willing to let Wei Ning marry the chivalrous woman as a concubine - the original owner was a typical ancient woman who didn't mind her husband having three wives and four concubines.
But she didn't mind, but the chivalrous woman in Jianghu would mind! How could such a free and easy chivalrous woman commit herself to being a concubine? Even if it was the extremely talented Wei Ning, it wouldn't work.
So the three of them started a tragic love affair, and the original owner inexplicably became the villain who destroyed other people's relationship. Everyone thought she was ignorant and had to come between a couple who loved each other. Even the original owner's cousin, Zhou Wei, came to persuade her to withdraw voluntarily. If she didn't withdraw, then she would have to give in and she would be the concubine and the chivalrous woman would be the wife.
Anyway, the Jin family's wealth has been obtained, but the female hero has a high talent for martial arts, and the child born is likely to inherit the excellent martial arts talent of their parents, which is very important for them as people in the martial arts world.
