Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Su Li looked around. This place was a little far from the village. Riceball seemed to be in an abandoned ditch.
Not to mention what was inside. even the grass was half her height. There might even be snakes inside. She did not want to go in and cause trouble.
Su Li called Riceball out. “Riceball, come out quickly!”
Riceball crawled out of the grass. It was still covered in fruits of the cocklebur.
Su Li squatted down and helped it take off the fruits. “Look at you. You’re so dirty!”
Riceball shook its fur and stuck out its tongue to lick Su Li’s hand.
“Alright, go back and take a shower later!”
Su Li stood up and was about to walk back.
Riceball stood rooted to the ground. After some thought, it ran to Su Li’s side and bit the corner of her dress.
Su Li was a little puzzled. “What’s wrong?”
“Woof woof-” Riceball bit the corner of Su Li’s skirt and walked towards the grass.
Su Li pointed at the grass and asked, “You want me to take a look inside?”
“Woof woof woof…” Yes, yes, yes!
Su Li sighed. She didn’t want to be a busybody to begin with, but who knew that her dog was a busybody!
Su Li patted Riceball’s head. “Then I’ll go and see what’s inside on your account!”
Riceball was so excited just now. Could there be gold inside?
Su Li was amused by her bold idea. How could there be gold in such a godforsaken mountain? Even if there was, it wouldn’t be in a place filled with weeds!
Su Li looked around and realized that there was no one else here other than her and Riceball, so she took out a sickle from her space.
The weeds were too tall. Without a sickle, she did not dare to enter rashly.
When Riceball saw a sickle suddenly appear in Su Li’s hand, the sudden change stunned it. This was even more powerful than the tricks it had seen on the streets.
“Woof woof…” Riceball barked at the sickle in Su Li’s hand.
“Good boy!” Su Li smoothed Riceball’s fur.
Fortunately, animals could not speak. Otherwise, her secret would be exposed.
Su Li held the sickle and squandered it on the weeds. Soon, she opened a path and walked in. Riceball followed closely behind like a lackey.
Su Li looked into the ditch. “Eh, why is there a person here!”
An old man was lying in an abandoned ditch. At this moment, his face was green, his lips were pale, and there was blood on his forehead. There was also an exquisite-looking bronze plate in his hand.
“Woof woof-” Riceball barked into the ditch again, as if it had just discovered this person.
Su Li said, “Alright, stop barking. It’ll be troublesome if we attract everyone over later.”
If she attracted everyone in the village, they would not be able to do anything. Instead, they would interfere with her process in saving the person. Moreover, she did not want to hear them muttering at the side.
Su Li reached out to check the old man’s breathing. He was not dead, he was still breathing!
She threw the sickle into the interspace. Riceball watched as the sickle disappeared into thin air again. He could not help but blink his confused dog eyes.
Su Li carried Riceball out of the ditch first.
Riceball kept wagging its tail.
She took his pulse and lifted the skin of his eyes to take a look. This person was old. Coupled with the intense exercise and the fact that he had knocked his head, he was unconscious.
Su Li took out the silver needles and inserted a few needles into the old man. Then, she took out the medicine from the interspace to stop the bleeding and applied it on the old man.
She found that the old man’s left hand was also dislocated. She kindly helped him reset the bone and fixed it with something.
Riceball looked at the silver needles in Su Li’s hand and trembled, especially when Su Li was inserting the needles into the old man. It couldn’t help but retreat, afraid that Su Li would grab it and insert it into him later.
The old man’s lips were extremely dry. It must have been a long time since he had drunk water. Su Li took some spiritual spring water from the interspace and fed it to the old man.
Seeing that the sky was about to turn dark and that the old man showed no signs of waking up, Su Li felt a little helpless. Did she have to bring him home?
As soon as this thought appeared, Su Li immediately rejected it.
It was not a good solution to bring him home. She did not know where this old man came from. From his clothes, he was definitely not a nearby villager. As for why he appeared in the He Family Village and why he fell into this abandoned ditch, she did not want to find out, nor did she want to get into trouble for such a stranger.
Su Li checked the old man again and realized that his vital signs were normal. He should wake up soon.
Although the people in the village were all scheming, they were not bad at heart. Therefore, this old man should be fine lying here alone.
Su Li stood up and was about to leave when she took two steps back.
She couldn’t work for nothing. She had to take something with her. However, the old man didn’t have anything valuable on him. The bronze plate in his hand looked interesting.
Riceball seemed to like that bronze plate too. It’s attention couldn’t leave it
Su Li took the bronze plate off the old man’s body. “You’re holding it quite tightly. Those who don’t know better would think that it’s some treasure!” Riceball circled around Su Li and was very excited to see the bronze plate in her hand.
“Riceball, you like it too?” Su Li placed the bronze plate in front of rice dumpling.
Riceball looked at the bronze plate intently. It could be seen that it really liked this thing.
Su Li turned to the unconscious old man on the ground and said, “Take this as my reward for saving you.”
“If you don’t say anything, I’ll take that as a yes.”
The old man: .
Su Li put the bronze plate into her pocket and said, “Riceball, let’s go.”
“Woof, woof, woof…” Riceball was anxious when it saw Su Li put the bronze plate into her pocket. It thought that Su Li wouldn’t give it the bronze plate anymore.
Su Li said, “I’ll help you keep it first. When we get back, I’ll find a rope to hang around your neck.”
Only then did Riceball quiet down and follow behind Su Li.
Wang Jinxue happened to come down from the mountain where she was cutting grass. She happened to see Su Li and Riceball walking away and she looked at their retreating figures while cursing.
“This damned woman. One day, I’ll step on you!”
Ever since the time when she went to Su Li to seek justice, failed and even lost 500 copper coins, He Dashan’s family was furious at her.
Everyone blamed her for this. Her mother-in-law was already unhappy with her. After what had happened last time, her mother-in-law’s opinion of her became even worse. She was terrible towards her.
In the past few days, hse didn’t even let her eat her fill. In the past, He Dashan would still protect her. Now, He Dashan was like a deaf person, it was as if he didn’t hear what his mother said!
As soon as she finished dinner, she was chased out by her vicious mother-in-law to cut grass again.
Wang Jinxue gritted her teeth. If it weren’t for Su Li, would she have ended up like this?
She walked to the place where Su Li had been and realized that there was an old man lying on the ground..
