1297 A Lady In Hardship
Jiang Yu picked up a fruit and took a bite. It was very fragrant and crispy.
The child looked at Jiang Yu expectantly and asked, “Sister, is this fruit delicious?”
Jiang Yu smiled and nodded.
“Really?” The child cried out in surprise, “then, big sister, do you want to come with me to the mountains to pick fruits?”
Jiang Yu had just treated Teng Yi’s wound and had nothing to do now. As for what happened in the next village, she had already told Chang Kai. He just had to wait for Chang Kai and the others to come and solve it.
“Sure,” Jiang Yu said with a smile.
Jiang Yu followed the child up the mountain and saw the middle-aged man from yesterday sitting on a tree. There were many fruits in the cloth bag in front of him.
“Daddy!” The child shouted excitedly and jogged over. “I called my sister over too!”
The middle-aged man looked at Jiang Yu and said in embarrassment, “My child is really insensible. Did I disturb you?”
“It doesn’t matter. I don’t have anything to do anyway.” Jiang Yu said, “I just happened to come up the mountain. I’ll just take it as breathing in fresh air. I don’t know how to climb trees, so I’ll stand below and help you catch the fruits.”
“Sister, let me help you.” The child said as he jumped happily beside Jiang Yu.
Jiang Yu and the child waited together. Suddenly, they heard a shrill scream from afar. “Ah!”
The voice sounded very miserable and the child was so scared that he hid behind Jiang Yu. “What’s wrong?”
The middle-aged man sat on the tree and had a wider view. He followed the source of the scream and saw two people in white rolling down the hill.
“Two people rolled down the hill.” The middle-aged man said.
He quickly climbed down from the tree and placed the bag full of fruits under the tree. Then, he went to check on the two people.
Jiang Yu and the child also went to check on the situation. Just as they walked in front of the two people, one of them, who had dyed his hair green, got up with a gray face.
“It hurts!” She rubbed her thigh in resentment and immediately began to feel sorry for her clothes. “Aiya, my clothes are worth a lot of money. I won’t be able to wear them in the future.”
She mumbled for a long time before she noticed the three people standing in front of her.
“Who are you?!” The green-haired woman was shocked.
She instinctively wanted to call for help, but when she looked around, she realized that there were only five of them.
Hence, she subconsciously shouted, “Mei Shuang! Meishuang, save me!”
Mei Shuang was The Woman in White who had fainted beside her.
“Are you alright?” Jiang Yu asked softly, “we were picking fruits on the mountain when we heard the shouting over here. That’s why we came over to check on the situation. Were you the ones who made that sound?”
The green-haired woman in front of her hesitated for a moment. She raised her head and looked at Jiang Yu curiously.
Jiang Yu was pretty and had a very polite smile on her face. She didn’t look like a bad person at all. The middle-aged man standing beside her looked very simple and honest.
“It’s us,” the green-haired woman said, “we accidentally fell down the hill.”
“You should be fine, but your friend’s condition is a little serious.” Jiang Yu said.
“Please save her!” When the green-haired woman heard this, she immediately panicked. “As long as you’re willing to save her, I’ll give you all the money you want!”
“We didn’t save people for money.” The middle-aged man couldn’t help but say, “leaving someone in the lurch is not something a human would do.”
Then, he carried the unconscious Mei Shuang and walked back to the village.
After returning to the village, Jiang Yu looked for the old village doctor and asked him to help check on the condition of the injured.
As for the green-haired woman, her body was fine, with only a few small bruises.
“It’s all my fault.” She sobbed. “Mei Shuang did this to save me. When we rolled down the hill, she kept me in her arms. So, I beg you, you must save Mei Shuang!”
The old village doctor came out of the house and said, “It’s nothing serious, I just hit my head when I rolled down the hill. He’ll wake up after a short rest. Don’t worry.”
After that, he went back.
