Chapter 11
Song Xiuyan remembered that his father once picked this kind of reishi mushroom in the deep mountains and forests. Each reishi mushroom was sold for several thousand yuan. Could it really be true to the old saying that one must have good fortune after surviving a great disaster? After experiencing life and death, Ding Yao became lucky?
Ding Yao saw Song Xiuyan put the reishi mushroom in the basket and even put some leaves as a cover so that no one would see it at a glance. After doing all this, he put the “Upside-down Yellow” that he had just picked on the top of the basket. Seeing Song Xiuyan’s actions, Ding Yao thought to herself, “This man is smart, sensitive, careful, and levelheaded. In the future, I have to be more careful in front of him and try not to expose that I have transmigrated. I also don’t want him to know that his fiancée has been changed.”
After picking the herbs, Song Xiuyan and Ding Yao returned to Song Yang’s side. Song Xiuyan didn’t mention the reishi mushroom, and Ding Yao didn’t mention it either. She thought that Song Xiuyan might have other plans. After all, he didn’t reveal his wealth, so it was right to be more vigilant.
After changing the Snake Swallow Stone a few more times, Song Yang’s leg was basically no longer swollen. Ding Yao put away the Snake Swallow Stone and used her mouth to tell everyone, “Song Yang is fine. You can go home now!”
Song Yang stood up and tried to walk two steps. Then, he said happily, “I can walk home on my own!”
The group was ready to go down the mountain. Halfway down, Ding Yao slowed down. Ah-jie took the basket and carried it on his back. Then, he signaled to Song Xiuyan with his eyes. Ding Yao’s forehead was injured, and she had been busy for so long, she must be exhausted. Song Xiuyan quickly acted like he was going to carry Ding Yao home.
Song Xiuyan had the intention to carry Ding Yao, but he was rejected by Ding Yao. This time, he stubbornly squatted in front of Ding Yao. Ding Yao couldn’t persuade him, and she was really tired, so she laid on Song Xiuyan’s back.
Song Xiuyan often carried his younger siblings, so he didn’t feel anything special. Ding Yao was very light, so he treated her like his younger sister. However, Ding Yao was different. After all, she was a mature woman mentally. Song Xiuyan was 20 years old, so she thought he was her younger brother. Now that she was being carried by Song Xiuyan, she felt a little strange, but this feeling quickly disappeared. After all, they were all modern era people, so it wasn’t a big deal to carry her.
Although Song Xiuyan’s life was tough, his body was still quite strong. Ding Yao lay on his back and fell asleep. When she woke up, she found that they had already walked on the small path in the village, but Song Xiuyan was still carrying her. After carrying her for so long, Song Xiuyan still looked very relaxed. Was this the physical strength of a man who knew martial arts? Ding Yao didn’t forget the scene where Song Xiuyan injected inner strength into her. If he could cultivate inner strength, Song Xiuyan’s martial arts skills must be very good.
Even Song Yang, who had been poisoned by the snake venom, walked steadily in front. He probably had martial arts skills, like Song Xiuyan.
In the original owner’s memory, she had once heard from the villagers that Song Xiuyan’s family were outsiders. His great-grandfather had taken a sum of money and bribed the village chief of the Song family village. He had managed to establish connections with the town, and only then was he able to buy land in the Song family village; he had even built a house and settled down in the Song family village from then on.
At this moment, Song Xiuyan realized that Ding Yao had woken up. He turned around and said to her, “We’re almost home.”
Ding Yao patted Song Xiuyan’s shoulder and signaled him to put her down. Song Xiuyan put Ding Yao down, but he still pulled her forward. The sun had just set, and there were still villagers working on the side of the road. When they saw Song Xiuyan pulling a little girl covered in blood, they all asked who it was.
Song Yang answered loudly in the front, “It’s my sister-in-law!”
Sister-in-law? Song Xiuyan’s wife? The mute girl from the neighboring Spirit Stone Village? The villagers’ gossipy nature was instantly activated. A while ago, mute girl’s stepmother, Wang Hongxia, came to their village and requested Song Xiuyan to bring mute girl into the village in advance. However, she was directly rejected. This matter had spread throughout the village for several days, Everyone thought that Song Xiuyan would divorce mute girl. They didn’t expect that he would actually bring her back home now.
