"Miss! These chestnuts are so big..." Zhichun said in surprise, and couldn't wait to pick up the chestnuts on the ground.
Jin Shichu raised her head and looked at the clusters of shelled chestnuts hanging on the branches of the tree. Her heart was about to move, so she said to Zhichun, "Zhichun, the ones on the tree are fresher. I'll go up and pick some."
"No! Miss, this tree is so tall, it's difficult to climb, and what if you climb in the middle and don't have the strength to fall? It's too dangerous." Zhichun heard her words and was so frightened that he immediately objected.
"Have you forgotten that I practice martial arts? I still have enough physical strength to climb trees. Don't worry, I won't go up if I'm not sure." Jin Shichu said with confidence.
Zhichun still disagreed, and said anxiously: "Miss, this is not a matter of my worries. If you really fall from the tree, let's not talk about whether you are seriously injured or not. Let's leave now. The academy is far away. If you fall and get injured, I, with my average physical strength, will not be able to help you down the mountain. Don’t be impulsive..."
Zhichun was so anxious that he almost cried. When Jin Shichu saw this, he sighed and had to compromise and said: "Okay, I won't climb up, but I still have to pick some fresh chestnuts even if I don't climb the tree."
"How to pick it?" Zhichun just breathed a sigh of relief, but when he heard her words, his heart became excited again.
Jin Shichu walked to the side and broke off a small tree that was three fingers thick and long and straight. Then he took out a knife and cut off the branches. He held it and walked back. He smiled at Zhichun and said: " Hit the trees with this long stick and they will fall."
Seeing that this was not a dangerous behavior, Zhichun felt relieved and said, "Miss, you are so smart!"
Jin Shichu smiled proudly, and then took the wooden stick and hit the chestnuts on the chestnut tree hard. The chestnuts soon crackled and fell to the ground.
"Miss, you are so awesome, you lost a lot!" Zhichun was very happy.
"Of course!" Jin Shichu was very proud of herself. She had used her skills very skillfully. How could she not lose too much?
"Don't get too close to the bottom of the tree. Be careful if a chestnut falls on your head. It's an unshelled chestnut with thorns all over it. It can hit your head and bleed." Jin Shichu reminded Zhichun.
"I know." Zhichun nodded obediently.
Jin Shichu didn't stop until the ground was almost covered with chestnuts. Zhichun immediately rushed to pick them up happily.
When she wasn't paying attention, Jin Shichu took out an inconspicuous cloth bag from the companion space, handed it to her, and said, "Put it in this."
"Miss, you actually came with a cloth bag?" Zhichun said in surprise.
"Hmm, because I know there are a lot of wild fruits on the mountains in autumn, so I should be prepared for any trouble. Anyway, the cloth bag is very light, doesn't take up much space, and is easy to carry."
"Miss, you are so foresighted!" Zhichun looked at Jin Shichu with admiration in his eyes, shining brightly.
"Of course." Jin Shichu said without blushing.
With the cloth bag in hand, Zhichun picked it up more enthusiastically, and Jin Shichu also helped to pick it up, but as she was picking it up, she suddenly smelled the vague smell of blood.
It is not a good thing to smell blood in this barren mountain. Jin Shichu's eyes darkened and he did not disturb Zhichun who was enjoying picking chestnuts. He only told her to go and relieve himself. Just look in the direction where the smell of blood comes from.
In order to meet the deadline and avoid alerting others, Jin Shichu used Qinggong to fly through the forest like a bird.
Soon, she followed the smell of blood and found the source, a hidden cave.
She looked into the cave warily, and her superior vision allowed her to easily identify that the injured person inside was not a beast, but a person.
A man suddenly appeared in the deep mountains and forests. He was injured and seemed to be unconscious. It looked like he was not an ordinary person, and Jin Shichu became even more vigilant.
Because he didn't know the identity of the injured person, Jin Shichu didn't know whether to save him. What if the person inside was a heinous bad guy? Wouldn't it be like helping the tyrant to do evil if he was saved? But what if he is a good person? Wouldn’t it be that he was desperate to save himself?
Jin Shichu, who had been struggling for a while, decided to go in first to see what the person looked like. Although it is not necessarily true that appearance comes from the heart, it is true that experienced people can see a person's nature from his appearance. Jin Shichu had met a lot of people, and he had studied mystical arts in a certain life, so he could read people pretty much the same.
So she walked in and carefully turned the lying unconscious man over. When she saw his face clearly, Jin Shichu's eyes widened in shock.
Isn't this Wei Ning, the fiancé of the original owner in the original world plot? !
As soon as she saw him, Jin Shichu sneered. This kind of person who has a sudden change of heart and takes his promise and faith seriously is not worth saving!
In the plot of the original world, this Weining took over half of the Jin family's property and promised Jin Xiangrong that he would marry the original owner and be good to her throughout his life.
However, when Jin Xiangrong passed away, he left the original owner at Wanqu Villa and went out to travel in style. Then during his travels, he met a knight-errant, whom he had never known before, and wandered around in the martial arts like friends. They fell in love over time and became a famous golden boy and girl in the world. Everyone thought they were a perfect match.
However, after Wei Ning finished his travels and returned to Wanqu Villa with the Jianghu Heroine, Zhou Wei reminded him that he still had a fiancée, but he did not love his fiancée, only Jianghu Heroine. What should he do?
So Wei Ning went to find the original owner, hoping that she would withdraw voluntarily, so that he and the heroine of the world could be harmonious.
However, both the parents of the original owner died, and only two old loyal servants were left to guard her. Wei Ning was her fiancé personally appointed by her father. She had long regarded him as her future support, but now he came to follow her. She said that she fell in love with another woman and wanted to quit and fulfill them. How could she bear this?
Besides, she had nowhere to go except Wanqu Villa at that time. If Wei Ning didn't marry her, what would she do? I can’t stay in Wanqu Villa any longer! Therefore, she did not agree to break off the engagement, but she was willing to let Wei Ning marry that knight-errant woman as a concubine. The original owner was a typical ancient woman who did not mind her husband having three wives and four concubines.
But she doesn't mind, the Jianghu Heroine does! How could such a dignified and free-spirited heroine commit herself to being a concubine? Not even the extremely talented Wei Ning.
So the three of them started a sadistic love affair. The original owner inexplicably became the villain who destroyed other people's relationships. Everyone felt that she was ignorant and insisted on getting in between a pair of golden boys and girls who were in love with each other. Even the original owner's cousin Zhou Weishi also came to persuade her to quit on her own initiative. If she didn't quit, then give in and make her a concubine and the Jianghu Heroine as his wife.
Anyway, the Jin family's wealth has been obtained, but the Jianghu heroine has a high talent for martial arts, and the children born are likely to inherit their parents' excellent martial arts talents, which is very important to them.
Look at the fast-wearing girl who has everything she wants.
