Chapter 8 Pisces Jade Pendant
Maybe Song Yuning really had a connection with this body, or maybe it was some unknown force. In any case, Song Yuning lived here for three months.
During this period, her health began to improve slowly, and after three months, she felt that she had complete control over her body.
Now three years have passed, and this small courtyard has not changed at all, just like it did back then. Song Yuning came under the jujube tree and sat on the stone bench.
"I'm thirsty and hungry. Go get some water and pastries. I want to stay in the yard by myself for a while." Song Yuning said to the three people.
Xuetuan frowned: "Miss, this is not appropriate, right? There are not many people here, what if something unexpected happens?"
"Then one of you goes to get water and pastries, and the rest of you stay outside the yard, okay? I haven't been here for a long time, and I just want to stay here alone for a while." Song Yuning looked at Xuetuan and said.
Xuetuan could only nod in agreement and went to guard outside the door with Ningshuang, while Yuejian went back to get water and pastries.
After the three of them left, Song Yuning walked around the yard, then found a wooden stick and started digging under the jujube tree.
She remembered that when she was at Yuqing Temple, she once saved a boy who was probably being hunted.
The boy looked like he was wearing servant's clothes, but the inner garment he wore was actually made of extremely expensive brocade.
Song Yuning didn't want to cause trouble at first, but after seeing the clothes here, he changed his mind. It was obvious that this boy was either rich or noble.
Saving him will create a good relationship, and maybe you will be rewarded in the future.
Song Yuning rescued the little boy and let him live in a cave in the back mountain. She secretly delivered food to the boy for a month without anyone noticing.
During this time, a deep friendship was established between them, but a month later, the boy left a jade pendant to Song Yuning and then left quietly.
No one knew about the existence of this little boy except Song Yuning himself.
She was worried that if Madam Wei knew about this, it might cause some unnecessary trouble. Therefore, before leaving, Song Yuning did not take the jade pendant with her, but buried it under the jujube tree.
Now that she is back here, she naturally has to dig out the jade pendant.
Although we don’t know the identity and background of the little boy back then, it is certain that his identity must be extraordinary.
Maybe there will be a chance to meet again in the future. If I can get his help then, maybe I can help Song Yuning get rid of the Song family.
It rained a lot around the Qingming Festival, so the soil was soft and easy to dig. After a while, Song Yuning dug up the wooden box that had been buried.
In the wooden box was the jade pendant the little boy gave her, a Pisces jade pendant with two red and white koi fish hugging each other.
The two koi are plump and have big bellies. The carvings are very good, and the scales on them are lifelike and full of childlike fun.
After carefully putting away the jade pendant, Song Yuning filled the mud pit again and then returned to sit on the stone bench under the jujube tree.
Yue Jian came back soon with two or three kinds of pastries and a pot of tea. Song Yuning ate a little and then took the three of them back to the front hall.
Song Yuning and his group stopped before reaching the front hall.
I saw a lot of officers and soldiers standing suddenly around the palace in front. They were on high alert with solemn expressions, obviously trying to prevent others from entering.
"Don't panic, young lady. I believe some dignitaries have come to Yuqing Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings.
We will wait for a while, and after the noble leaves, we can return to reunite with the old lady and others."
Xuetuan had come to Yuqing Temple with the old lady several times before and was already accustomed to such scenes, so he comforted Song Yuning.
Song Yuning looked in that direction, thought for a moment, and said, "In that case, it will probably take quite a while before we can go back and reunite with Grandmother. So let's just wander around."
After saying this, her eyes involuntarily turned to the path in the distance. Following this path, you can reach the cave.
There used to be traces of sword carving in the cave. It seems that someone practiced here, but for some reason it was abandoned later.
The scenery here is not very good, so not many people come here. Song Yuning took three maids along the path, stopping and walking, which was actually quite interesting.
Walk further and turn not far ahead, and you will see the cave from the past.
Thinking of this, Song Yuning couldn't help but quicken his pace. Unexpectedly, when he reached the corner, he bumped into a young man.
Song Yuning took two steps back in a hurry, rubbed his head, and looked at the boy opposite him with some dissatisfaction. When he saw him, he couldn't help but open his eyes wide in astonishment and blurted out: "A Che?"
The boy of about twelve or thirteen years old opposite was frowning. When he suddenly heard Song Yuning's call, he was stunned for a moment, and then a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Little...it's you?"
Hearing A Che stop calling halfway, Song Yuning seemed to have thought of something funny, his eyebrows curved, and an unconcealable smile appeared on his face.
A Che seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Song Yuning with a hint of accusation in his eyes.
Ache is the little boy that Song Yuning saved.
Song Yuning had teased A Che a lot in the past. He was about eight or nine years old at that time. Although Song Yuning was only five years old, his soul was already nineteen years old.
So she asked Ache to call her "little sister". At first, Ache refused to do so, but later he was tortured by her and had no choice but to call her "little sister" all the time.
Later, I must have gotten used to it, so I just kept calling it that.
She really didn't expect that she would meet the owner of the jade pendant just after she dug it out. What a coincidence.
Song Yuning asked Xuetuan and the other three to step aside, while she started chatting with Ache in front of the cave.
“I didn’t leave without saying goodbye. It was because my servants found me and were being pursued. They were afraid that I would be in danger, so they insisted that I leave immediately.
That's why I couldn't say goodbye to you in person. Over the years, I tried to look for you, but I was never available.
Now that we meet again, please don't blame me!" Ah Che looked at Song Yuning with guilt and asked softly.
Song Yuning shook his head slowly: "I never blame you, I'm just a little worried that you might be in danger again.
But later, when I saw the jade pendant you left behind, I knew you must have left on your own."
When the jade pendant was mentioned, a barely perceptible smile flashed across Ah Che's eyes: "Do you still have that jade pendant?"
Song Yuning took out the jade pendant from his bosom and then carefully handed it to A Che: "This jade pendant must be of great significance to you. I still remember that when you were unconscious, you still held the jade pendant tightly and refused to let go.
We are fortunate to meet again today, so it is only right that I return the jade pendant intact to Zhao. You should take it back."
