There is no prey below.
Lin Yan was greatly disappointed.
She turned and started to leave, but was suddenly stopped by a pleasant male voice behind her.
"Please wait, young lady! I was ambushed and injured, and I am too weak to jump out of the trap. Could you please help me out? Don't worry, this five taels of gold will be your reward if you pull me out!"
Lin Yan had no intention of meddling in other people's business.
But when she saw the glittering gold in his hand, she couldn't help but swallow hard.
So flashy...
This was the first time she had seen gold since she transmigrated!
Nowadays, one tael of gold in the Great Qi Dynasty can be exchanged for eight taels of silver.
Five taels of gold is equivalent to forty taels of silver!
Lin Yan simply couldn't resist the temptation of gold...
She put down her basket and lay down beside the trap.
He stretched out his right hand and pulled the man inside up with just a little force.
Just as the man was about to thank her, the gold in his hand was unceremoniously snatched away and stuffed into his pocket.
Looking at my empty palms.
The man sat on the ground and chuckled to himself.
Only then did Lin Yan notice that the man's features were sharp and sculpted.
He has a completely different style from Xie Muqing, but they are both very handsome.
Although he had several scars, they did not diminish his beauty in the slightest.
Instead, it only adds to the poignant beauty.
The thought that she had simply pulled someone along and gotten five taels of gold for nothing made Lin Yan feel a little guilty.
She took out several herbs from her basket and crushed them.
Under the man's puzzled gaze, she applied the medicine to his wound.
"Don't overthink it. I'm not a good person. It's just that your reward is too much, and I feel a little uneasy taking it. Just follow that path down ahead, and you'll reach the town."
"Thank you, young lady. I will always remember your kindness. If you ever need any help in the future, please come to the city to find me."
The herbal remedy relieved a lot of the pain.
Xiao Jue then clasped his hands in farewell.
He limped away along the path.
Lin Yan, however, tilted her head and stared intently at his departing figure...
She felt like she'd seen the name Xiao Jue somewhere before.
But now I can't remember it at all.
After thinking for a long time without being able to recall anything, she decided not to torture her brain any longer and carried her basket back to where she had been.
From afar, you could see Xie Sheng sitting obediently on the ground.
He held a few herbs in his hand and smelled them.
When she heard the noise behind her, she was initially alert and picked up a stone next to her for protection.
Upon seeing that it was Lin Yan, she quickly put down the stone and happily went to greet her.
"Sister, you're back!"
"Well, it's getting late. Let's pick some mushrooms to take back. Remember what these mushrooms look like. If we go into the mountains in the future, we can only pick those kinds. Other mushrooms are poisonous and should never be eaten."
"Yes, yes, I'll definitely remember it well later!"
In less than half an hour, the two had picked a basket of mushrooms, and seeing that they had enough, they prepared to go home.
Suddenly, Xie Sheng cried out "Ouch!" as he tripped over an unknown vine.
Lin Yan quickly helped the person up.
Looking up from the base, she was surprised to see a cluster of chayote gourds!
It is early autumn now.
They climbed up the vines to the big tree and hid in the branches.
They are all plump and ripe, just at the perfect time of their maturity.
Lin Yan was overjoyed.
It quickly climbed up the tree.
Soon her basket was almost full.
After climbing down from the tree, Lin Yan gave Xie Sheng a dozen or so.
Under her questioning gaze, I explained to her that this is called chayote.
It can be stewed with chicken and mushrooms, or used in cold dishes, stir-fries, or boiled.
Ignoring Xie Sheng's attempts to refuse, Lin Yan shoved another pheasant into her hands.
When she returned home, she found the atmosphere in the house to be very strange.
Although they have been trying to cover it up.
But judging from the way her neighbors looked at her, she felt that something must have happened at home during the day.
"Mother, what happened today?"
Ye Lan didn't want to hide it from her.
Also, wanting to put her on guard, he told her everything that had happened at noon.
“Master Wu? Mother, I’ve never seen this man before. I’ll go and meet him next time I go to town.”
Lin Yan guessed that it was probably because Master Wu had found out about her carrying wild boar to sell deer antlers and bear gallbladders.
The thought that when I went to town, I might have lived under his watchful eye the whole time.
She felt uncomfortable all over!
She desperately needed to find an outlet to vent her anger!
“Daughter, I heard from your father that Master Wu is rich and powerful in town. We should avoid him.”
"Mother, the matchmaker's threatening words were most likely instigated by that Master Wu. It will only be effective if we hide deep in the mountains. Don't worry, he's just a minor master, I don't take him seriously."
It's not that Lin Yan is arrogant.
Rather, the original owner's body possessed immense strength.
In addition, there was her training experience as a special forces soldier in her previous life.
The two are combined.
She may not be invincible now, but she can easily take on dozens of opponents at once!
However, the local landlord was not someone she was afraid of.
“Daughter, your father and I want to ask you if you want to have a son-in-law marry into our family? Now that the matchmaker has messed things up, the families in the neighborhood probably won’t dare to choose our family anymore. Your father is thinking that if you want to have a son-in-law marry into our family, he will go to a place further away to inquire and see if there are any suitable boys.”
Lin Yan carefully considered Ye Lan's suggestion.
Having been given a second chance at life, she cherishes family ties above all else.
However, in this era, unless a woman married into a nearby village, it was difficult for her to even see her family.
But she had no choice but to get married.
Although there were no penalties for women not marrying in her dynasty.
However, if she remains unmarried, it will inevitably affect the marriage prospects of her younger siblings.
For her, having a son-in-law marry into the family was indeed the best solution.
"Sure, but I have conditions: the man must be under twenty, tall, and good-looking."
"Alright, alright, no problem. When your father comes back, I'll have him inquire around and find the best-looking son-in-law for our daughter!"
Within a few days, the news that Lin Yan wanted to find a husband to marry into the village spread throughout Xiaolin Village.
Several families in the village were interested.
After all, the story of her battle with the black bear had already spread among them.
But because of what the matchmaker said that day, they were a little afraid of Master Wu's power, so they had no choice but to give up.
When Xie Muqing learned of this, a strange light flashed in his dull eyes!
A cold smile unconsciously crept onto his lips.
Looking at that smile, Xie Rui, who was taking care of him beside him, inexplicably shivered.
On this day, Lin Yan came to the Xie family again.
After taking Xie Muqing's pulse, she found that he had recovered quite well in the past few days.
The toxins are also gradually being eliminated.
Taking the medicine for another seven days will completely remove the toxins.
Looking at that exquisitely beautiful face, Lin Yan suddenly thought of Xiao Jue's face for no apparent reason.
Suddenly, a white light flashed in her mind!
She knew where she had seen his name before!
