Chapter 36 Savior
Eighteen chirped twice, sounding somewhat anxious.
Having gone through so much, Yunyi, though no longer possessing special abilities, is still familiar with the language, sounds, and movements of some animals. She wondered if Shiba had discovered something and wanted her to see it. She then got up and quietly left the mud-brick house.
Although Shiba had one leg that wasn't very nimble, it didn't stop it from running and jumping. It quickly carried Yunyi to the back of the village, where there was a field of crops.
Once she arrived here, Yunyi didn't even need to point the way; she simply followed the faint smell of blood and found her way there.
Right next to the farmland was a ditch, which was overgrown with weeds because it was summer, and the smell of blood was coming from there.
Yunyi carefully parted a clump of weeds, but before she could say anything, she felt a gust of wind blow in her face. She quickly dodged to the side and grabbed the other person's wrist: "I'm not from the village."
The other person's strength suddenly stopped: "You...it's you?"
Yunyi also felt that the other person's voice was somewhat familiar. She looked closer by the moonlight and realized it was indeed someone she knew: "How did you become the village chief's daughter-in-law?"
"I've been framed." Lin Yanran seemed weak and listless, and her hand holding the chopsticks fell limply to her side.
Yunyi placed her fingers directly on the other person's pulse. Sure enough, she had been drugged, and it was a very strong drug at that. Fortunately, this girl knew some martial arts and was quite ruthless. She not only poked Chang Ming with chopsticks but also poked her own arm. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to hold on until now. She then took out a silver needle and pricked the other person twice.
“This drug is very potent.” Yunyi pulled the person out. “I can only temporarily suppress its effects with acupuncture, but to completely counteract it, you either need to find a man or find the necessary medicinal herbs, otherwise…”
Although I haven't met the village chief yet, just by looking at this medicine, I know he's definitely not a good person. I'm also glad that the village chief doesn't keep dogs, otherwise, just by the smell of blood, this girl would have been taken back.
"My horse should still be in the village." With the effects of the drug suppressed, Lin Yanran's mind was much clearer. "If you help me find it, I should be able to manage to leave."
"You wait here, I'll go find it and then take you away." Yunyi settled Lin Yanran in a more secluded patch of grass, instructed Shiba to keep an eye on things, and then turned and went back to the village.
Dongshantou Village is much larger than Xiajiazhuang, but the rich and poor are clearly distinguished. The side closer to the mountain is almost entirely made up of adobe houses, while the other side has many brick and tile houses.
Grandma Cai's home was the most dilapidated among the mud-brick houses.
The village chief's house must have been the best among the brick houses, so it was easy to find. It not only had brick houses, but also front and back yards.
Lin Yanran's horse was tied up in the backyard.
Fortunately, even if someone had some money in the village, there were no servants to guard their property. Moreover, the backyard wall was not a stone wall like the front yard wall, but a fence wall, so it was easy to steal the horses.
Of course, this was also thanks to the exertion of the first half of the night, which left everyone exhausted, so the whole village was filled with the sound of snoring.
Yunyi returned to Granny Cai's house. She couldn't throw away her basket, but she still put two taels of silver on the kang (a heated brick bed). After thinking for a moment, she also put down the remaining half of the ginseng, hoping that the little girl would get better.
I saw Ah Sheng as soon as I stepped out the door.
"Sister, are you leaving?"
"Well, I'm leaving."
“You…” Ah Sheng was actually a little reluctant to part with you.
"Ah Sheng, have Grandma take Xiao Hua to see a doctor tomorrow." Yun Yi pointed to the things on the kang (a heated brick bed), "This ginseng is also life-saving, you should keep it safe too."
Ah Sheng's eyes were a little red: "Then... will we be able to meet again in the future?"
Yunyi patted his head: "Yes."
Ah Sheng thought for a moment, then took off a pendant from his neck and handed it to Yun Yi: "This is a birthday gift from my father to you."
Yunyi took one look and saw that it was a wolf's tooth. She didn't refuse and said, "Okay, I'm leaving."
Although Ah Sheng was reluctant, he still nodded.
Yunyi then left the mud-brick house and hurriedly went to the back of the village.
As soon as Ah Sheng turned around, he saw that his grandmother had also gotten up. He couldn't help but sniffle: "Grandma, Sister Yun has left."
"Good riddance." Grandma Cai nodded. "Go to sleep now."
"Grandma, these were left by Sister Yun." Ah Sheng handed the silver and ginseng to Granny Cai.
“She’s a good person, Ah Sheng. Remember that. If you have the chance in the future, you should repay her.”
"I see."
……
Yunyi then rode her horse towards the back of the village.
Someone got up to relieve himself and saw her. After a moment of surprise, he suddenly realized what was happening and shouted, "Help! The runaway bride has been found..."
Upon hearing this, Yunyi hurriedly urged her horse to quickly arrive at the back of the village: "Miss Lin, hurry!"
Lin Yanran had obviously heard the commotion as well, and when she saw Yun Yi arrive, she quickly reached out her hand.
Yunyi pulled the person up in one go.
By this time, quite a few villagers had caught up with them.
Fortunately, the two had already mounted their horses, and Shiba jumped into the basket on his back. Now it was time to continue their journey.
Two legs can never catch up with four legs, and soon they left the village behind. Looking back, you could still see lanterns and torches shining brightly.
After running for about fifteen minutes, the light and sounds behind them disappeared completely, and Yunyi finally reined in the reins and breathed a sigh of relief.
It was so late at night, and I couldn't see any direction. I just ran wherever I saw a road, and I don't even know where I ended up.
"Don't stop, Qingshui Town should be just ahead." Lin Yanran looked around and then pointed ahead, "Go over this small hill ahead."
"you sure?"
“I’m sure, I came from over there.”
"I want to know, how did you end up in that village? And how did you get tricked?" Yunyi urged her horse forward, now that she was less in a hurry, she had time to ask the other person.
"Don't even mention it. I was just passing through and asked for lodging. I was hoping to find a big house with a spare room, but who knew that family was so heartless? They drugged my water and then forced me to marry their mentally challenged son." Lin Yanran said angrily. "You have no idea how disgusting the people in this village are, especially that village chief..." She trembled as she spoke.
Yunyi gently patted the other person's shoulder.
"That family wanted me to marry their mentally challenged son, but the son didn't know how to consummate the marriage, and even if he did, he might not be able to have children. So, the village chief would consummate the marriage in his son's place, after I gave birth to my son..."
"Damn it." Yunyi hugged him. "But don't worry, it's alright now."
Lin Yanran nestled in Yunyi's arms, and it took her a long time to calm down: "Yunyi, you not only saved my older brother, but you also saved me. You are our benefactor. As long as I live, I will definitely repay you."
