In the early spring, the mountain was still cold.

With a basket on her back, Qing Dai pulled back the one-piece dress with several patches on it.

It was so cold!

After searching for so long, she found nothing. When she thought that she would not be able to open the door at home, she frowned.

"Sister, look." Chao Yan, who was beside her, suddenly shouted excitedly, "It's Mushroom..."

As Qing Dai looked in the direction of the finger, her eyes lit up instantly.

She hurriedly ran toward the bushes.

Unexpectedly, when he was about to get close, he tripped over the stone under his feet and fell straight to the ground.

Hey, why was the ground so soft?

As Qing Dai was wondering why, she took a look and found that she had fallen on a young man.

It was improper for a man and a woman to be intimate. As a result, she got up hurriedly and looked at the man carefully, only to find that his eyes were closed. It seemed that he was in a coma.

The man looked to be about 20 years old. He had handsome features and a tall figure. He was wearing a royal blue brocade robe.

Under the sun, the brocade was shining. She had never seen such expensive clothes before.

Her hands were sticky. When she stretched out her hand, she saw that it was actually blood. Then she saw a large patch of bright red blood on the man's abdomen and a small pool of blood on the ground.

Chaoyan ran over breathlessly. When she saw the scene in front of her, she exclaimed in horror, "Dead man..."

As a bold girl, she was calm. "Don't be afraid. Maybe he's still alive."

After saying that, she mustered up her courage to test the man's breath. "He's really lucky to be still alive."

"Are you still alive?"

This year, Chao Yan was only 13 years old, and she was the younger sister of Qing Dai. She was usually very timid, but now she was at a loss.

"There's still Qi."

Qing Dai casually pulled down a large leaf and wiped her hands. Then, she picked up the mushroom that she had just found. She counted it and found that there were six in total. She could drink mushroom soup at night.

"Let's go back!"

After picking the mushrooms, she pushed the mushroom and stood aside in a daze.

"Sister, what should we do with this man?"

Qing Dai frowned and looked at the man. It seemed that it was inappropriate for her to not save him. However, considering her family's situation, she decisively made a decision.

"Tell the village chief to come and save her when we get back! Our family can't afford such a big living person. If we go back with us, we will die."

"Sister, you forgot that the village chief went to the county to see his son today. He's not at home these days."

Qing Dai was also in trouble. It was impossible for her to take her in. Her grandfather was still sick. There was no money or food in the family. How could their family live if they had more people to eat?

Suddenly, she saw a white jade pendant on the man's waist.

She took off the jade pendant and looked at it carefully. Both sides were engraved with beast-shaped patterns that she had never seen before. Although she did not know what kind of jade it was, with his clothes, she was sure that it must be a valuable piece of jade.

Qing Dai was overjoyed. "Chaoyan, grandpa's illness is saved."

"Sister, what do you want to do?"

"Tomorrow, I'll go to the town and take the jade pendant. I'm sure I can get some money back." After that, he looked at the man on the ground and said to himself, "Since you have taken your things, I can't leave you alone. You're lucky!"

"Chaoyan, let's take him back."

They tried hard to help the man on the ground up, but after a long time, they only moved a little bit. There were beads of sweat on her forehead. She gasped and said, "Chaoyan, go and ask Wang Yong for help to avoid Eldest Madam."

"Okay, I'll go now."

After that, he ran down the mountain with Yan Xiaoxiao.

Wang Yong was Chaoyan's cousin and the grandson of Old Wang.

Three years ago, Old Wang saved her, who was seriously injured and had lost her memory, and took her home to take her in.

Her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wang, was very dissatisfied with this. Every now and then, she would find fault with Wang Laohan and ask him to send her away. In desperation, Wang Laohan moved to the old house with Chaoyan and Xuanxuan.

In the past few years, Wang Yong had been secretly in touch with them without his mother's knowledge. From time to time, he would take some food and money to support them.

After Chao Yan left, she knelt down beside the man and continued to search his body. She wanted to see if there was anything else valuable, but there was nothing.

Who was this person? How could he be injured like this?

After waiting for a while, Chaoyan brought Wang Yong here. After a while, the three of them brought the man home.

After putting down the man, she asked Chaoyan to find Doctor Liu in the village. Wang Yong called her out and whispered, "Qingwu, you and Chaoyan are both girls. If you keep such a man at home, he will be gossiped."

"Let him go if others want to gossip. Anyway, I didn't do anything shameful."

Wang Yong knew that Qing Dai had always had an idea. Hearing her words, he didn't want to persuade her anymore. He took out five or six copper coins from his arms and stuffed them into Qing Dai's hands. "Take this."

"You're hiding money from me again."

"Grandpa is in poor health. This is what I should do. My mother made a nest in the afternoon, and I'll send some to you later."

Alright, go back quickly! Aunt will scold you again if she sees you.

Wang Yong's mother, Mrs. Zhang, had a strong temper and always kept her word at home. Both her uncle and Wang Yong were afraid of her, so there was nothing for her to do. She didn't want to provoke her.

Wang Yong nodded and turned away.

The next day, Qing Dai took the jade pendant to a shop in town and sold it for 20 taels of silver.

She grabbed medicine for Wang Laohan and the man respectively, which cost her a lot of money. Then she bought rice and noodles and some food before she hurried home.

After making the medicine, she brought it to Old Wang first.

On the simple and shabby wooden bed lay a skinny old man. When he saw Qing Dai coming in with the medicine, he asked with a puzzled look, "Qing Dai, where did you get the medicine? We still owe Doctor Liu money."

"Grandpa, don't worry. I've already paid Doctor Liu back. I went to the town to catch the medicine today."

Black replied softly.

"The medicine is not cheap. Where did you get the money?"

Knowing the situation in the family, Wang Laohan was scared out of his wits, for fear that she would do something stupid.

"We saved someone yesterday. The money was from him."

"Thank you very much, but you have to be careful. That person doesn't know where he comes from. Don't let anyone take advantage of you."

Seeing Old Wang's worried look, Qing Dai replied with a smile, "I'm not a child. I know what to do. Grandpa, don't worry. Let's take medicine first. The medicine is cold."

Qing Dai helped Old Wang sit up. Seeing that she was so diligent, Old Wang sighed and said, "Grandpa is the one who dragged you down. You managed our family well in the past three years."

"My life was saved by my grandfather. I don't think I'm a burden. You are my relatives. It's my duty to do anything."

Qing Dai carefully fed Old Wang with medicine. Her tone was very gentle.

"Good girl, if you meet someone suitable, marry him. Don't always think about us. I can't always drag you down."

Thinking that he was already 19 years old, Old Wang was very worried about her life-long event.

"Grandpa, Yue Lao's red lines haven't come to me yet! Don't worry, if he really has a good husband, I will definitely marry him." Qing Dai comforted him.

Old Wang let out a heavy sigh. His family was so poor that even Yue Lao wouldn't be willing to take the red line. Would that Mr. Ruyi fall from the sky?
