Chapter 307 Beautiful Spider Spirit VS Cold and Ascetic Monk 11
After Su Jin left, Mr. Zhao said to Zhao Dazhuang worriedly, "Son, we can't go on like this. What should we do if we are really sued?"
Zhao Dazhuang looked at his father and snorted nonchalantly: "Dad, you are just a coward, what can he do to us?"
Mr. Zhao shook his head helplessly and sighed.
He was just taking a shit, why did this happen?
Su Jin just felt that he was extremely unlucky today. Not only did he encounter a muddy road when he went out, but he finally made it to the town and was covered in feces for no reason.
Even the books were damaged. He thought he could ask for some compensation to make up for his losses, but he didn't expect that he not only got no money, but was also severely beaten.
He just felt pain all over his body now, and couldn't help but touch his pig-like face, "Ouch..."
He grimaced and cried out in pain.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He felt that he couldn't just let it go like this, so he prepared to go to the government office and file a complaint.
Humph, he not only wanted the father and son to compensate for the money for the books, but also asked them to compensate for the medical expenses.
He limped towards Guluo Town, not knowing whether he was not paying attention or was too absorbed in thinking about how to file a complaint with the government.
When passing by an arch bridge, he accidentally stepped on empty air and fell straight down.
Su Jin only felt darkness in front of his eyes, and his body fell rapidly and uncontrollably into the river.
The cold river water rushed forward, splashing countless water drops.
His foot accidentally touched a reef and there was a slight "crack" sound.
In an instant, the pain made his face pale.
He had a premonition that his leg might be broken, but he couldn't care less at the moment.
The river water quickly submerged him, and he could only endure the severe pain in his legs and swim upstream desperately.
But his injured leg made him unable to use any strength, and he was instead swept away by the river, his body becoming heavier and heavier.
His mouth, nose, eyes, and ears were all filled with water. He began to feel drowsy and even had difficulty breathing.
He began to struggle frantically.
"Help... Is there anyone?"
Su Jin choked on water several times and tried his best to keep his head above the water, shouting for help.
The cry for help echoed on the surface of the river, but it seemed so weak, as if it would be blown away by the wind at any time.
In the dense woods around, the birds were startled and flew away.
Yu Yao was watching in secret, her eyes were cold, and she wanted to just let Su Jin drown.
But on second thought, if Su Jin died like this, it would be too easy for him.
She wanted Su Jin to personally experience the pain of being betrayed and hurt by the one she loved.
It can also be regarded as returning all the harm he caused to the original owner in his previous life.
Thinking of this, she showed up, and her originally cold face suddenly became extremely anxious.
Looking at Su Jin struggling in the water, he pretended to be frightened and shouted, "Oh, Master Su, how could it be you? Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you."
As soon as she finished speaking, she jumped into the water regardless of everything and swam towards Su Jin with all her might.
Su Jin breathed a sigh of relief and secretly rejoiced that he would not be drowned.
Yu Yao swam to Su Jin's side with all her strength and said, "Sir, don't be afraid. I will take you to shore right now."
After saying that, he grabbed Su Jin's collar and dragged him ashore with great effort.
"Miss Yu, you saved my life, thank you so much."
After Su Jin was rescued to the shore, he gasped for breath and was full of gratitude to her.
He had never expected that this seemingly weak woman had such courage and strength.
Yu Yao smiled slightly, as if she could dispel all the haze in the world, "It's okay, it's just a small effort. How did you fall off the bridge? Can you still walk?"
Su Jin smiled bitterly, shook his head, and tried to stand up, but found that his right leg was in severe pain, as if it weighed a thousand pounds.
"I'm afraid it's broken." He said helplessly.
Seeing this, Yu Yao took a step forward without hesitation and gently supported Su Jin, "Don't worry, sir. I will take you home right away."
"In that case, thank you very much, young lady."
Su Jin did not delay, he really couldn't walk now.
The mountain road was rugged, and Yu Yao supported Su Jin all the way. Sweat soaked her forehead, but she never complained. Su Jin was grateful, but also a little confused. Who was this Miss Yu? Why did she care about him so much?
Also, he remembered that when he went out in the morning, the road was extremely muddy and it was impossible to walk on it. How come it became so flat and dry now?
Could it be the sun?
He shook his head and looked at the sky. The sun was shining brightly and it was almost noon.
Could it really be the sun? How did it dry so quickly?
Although Su Jin was confused, he didn't think too much about it.
She quickly took Su Jin back to Sujia Village, but did not enter from the village. Instead, she went around the back mountain to Su Jin's home.
In ancient times, men and women were not allowed to touch each other. It was bad for her reputation if she and Su Jin were so close.
She helped Su Jin into the house and called a village doctor.
The doctor came over quickly carrying the medicine box.
After an examination, he said solemnly, "Mr. Su's leg is broken. You need to take good care of it. You can't move for at least three months. I'll fix your bones first, and then prescribe some medicine."
"In that case, I'll trouble you, Doctor Zhou."
Su Jin had expected this, so when he heard that his leg was broken, he didn't react much, but just said it weakly and politely.
The pain of bone straightening was so severe that he almost fainted. After some effort, he finally reconnected the leg and fixed it.
The doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I'll prescribe you some more medicine to help you recover. Ten taels of silver in total."
Su Jin looked embarrassed and said, "Doctor Zhou, I don't have that much money on me, can I owe it to you first?"
Yu Yao listened and without hesitation took out ten taels of silver from her bosom and handed it to Lang Zhong: "Here are ten taels of silver. I'll pay for him first."
Langzhong looked at her for a few times but didn't ask any more questions. He took the silver, carried the medicine box and left.
After the doctor left, Su Jin lay on the bed, looked at Yu Yao, and said with a guilty look: "Miss Yu, thank you so much for this. I will definitely return the money to you in the future."
Yu Yao smiled slightly: "Mr. Su, just focus on recovering from your injuries and don't worry about this matter."
She gradually became a frequent visitor to Su Jin's home.
Not only did she deliver medicine and meals to him every day, she also took good care of his daily life, just like the original owner took care of Su Jin in the previous life.
Su Jin was grateful, but also wondered why this girl was so nice to him?
Could it be that she fell in love with him? Or was she attracted by his talent?
One day, Su Jin finally plucked up the courage to ask Yu Yao his question: "Miss Yu, why are you so nice to me?"
Yu Yao smiled faintly and thought: Of course I want you to taste the heart-wrenching pain.
She lowered her head, blushed, and whispered, "You are handsome and talented, and I...I fell in love with you at first sight, that's why I am like this."
Su Jin was slightly startled, then understood the reason.
He smiled, and his smile was like the warm sunshine in spring, dispelling the haze in his heart: "Miss Yu, I already know your feelings, and I am also happy. But, I am just a poor scholar with nothing, will you despise me?"
Although this girl's origins are unknown, she is extremely beautiful, has a strong character, and is quite knowledgeable. She is not a country girl who knows nothing.
The most important thing is that he really likes her because she saved his life and just paid ten taels of silver for his medical expenses.
Such a good girl is hard to find even with a lantern.
When Yu Yao heard this, her heart was filled with ridicule.
But a smile blossomed on her face, and her voice was as gentle as a spring breeze: "Why do you say that, sir? In my heart, your noble character and talent are better than a fortune. I am willing to weather the storm with you, and never leave you."
Su Jin felt a warm current in his heart, and he gently took Yu Yao's hand and said softly, "Yao'er, you are so kind. Don't worry, if I am lucky enough to pass the imperial examination in the future, I will definitely marry you in a grand sedan chair."
Upon hearing this, Yu Yao felt even more sarcastic.
High school? You'll never get a chance to go to high school in your lifetime.
She gently pulled her hand back and said coquettishly, "Sir, you will definitely pass the exam. I believe in you."
But he sneered in his heart.
Su Jin studied hard while recovering from his injuries.
Yu Yao not only paid back the money he had borrowed from the bookstore, but also took good care of his daily life.
Su Jin also liked her more and more, but it was not the kind of false affection he had towards the original owner, he really liked her, and it could be seen from the way Su Jin looked at her.
On the surface, Yu Yao supported Su Jin wholeheartedly and loved her so much, but secretly she was constantly making small moves.
He was clearly taken good care of, but Su Jin became a cripple?
People with physical disabilities cannot take the imperial examinations and become officials.
Su Jin's lameness meant that his career was ruined.
