A lucky koi fish was found while escaping from famine, and the whole family became prosperous

Chapter 39 Parting
The next day.

The Jiang family didn't get up until the sun was high in the sky.

As soon as I came out, I saw the scorching winter sun.

The expected snowflakes did not appear.

When Old Mrs. Jiang saw this scene, she couldn't help but sigh.

It looks like next year won’t be very good either.

After a simple meal, the Jiang family tidied up the courtyard and left ten cents before leaving as a token of gratitude.

The news that Boss Jiang was about to leave was told to the Pei family. Mrs. Pei expressed no objection and even wanted to rush to the capital as soon as possible.

Everyone loaded all the luggage onto the cart and started a new journey.

As we got closer to the capital, the roads became easier to travel on.

The group's speed increased a lot.

The closer we got to the capital, the fewer refugees we encountered.

When the group was one day away from reaching the capital, the two families parted ways.

The Pei family is going to the capital, and the Jiang family is going to a village outside the capital.

Boss Jiang’s escort mission also ended here.

Mrs. Pei paid Boss Jiang the wages, but Boss Jiang used the money to pay for his horse.

Mrs. Pei didn't want to argue and just wanted to help out in the future.

Only Pei Jingnian's delicate little face was filled with unhappiness after he knew that he would have to part with the Jiang family.

He pursed his lips and asked his mother in confusion, "Mom, can't we bring sister Yunjin back to the Pei family with us?"

Pei Jingnian's dilemma made Mrs. Pei laugh.

When I think of Jiang Yunjin's fair and tender little face in my mind, I always feel that it is somewhat familiar.

She shook her head, feeling that she was overthinking.

The Jiang family came to the capital from outside the Great Wall to look for their relatives, so she would definitely not have seen them.

She had heard about Jiang Yunjin. If they had met her before going to the Jiang family, she would definitely take the girl home.

But not now...

The little girl has almost become the apple of the Jiang family's eye. If she dares to mention it, I'm afraid that the young and old in the Jiang family will be unwilling.

After thinking about it, Mrs. Pei couldn't help but comfort her son's lost heart.

"Take advantage of the rest now and go talk to Xiao Yunjin. If you really want to see her in the future, there will be plenty of time."

Upon hearing this, Pei Jingnian nodded his head, got off the cart and walked towards where the Jiang family was resting.

When the Jiang family saw that Young Master Pei came alone, they knew that he was looking for a few little ones.

Along the way, the little ones would whisper a few words to each other.

Pei Jingnian greeted the Jiang family, then turned around and went to look for Jiang Yunjin and others who were squatting and playing nearby.

He deliberately slowed down his pace, hoping to scare the other person by surprise.

Before he could say anything, his eyes were attracted by the pattern on the ground.

Jiang Yunjin was seen holding a branch in his hand, laboriously drawing a portrait of his mother...

His lifelike painting skills are unmatched even by the most famous painters in the capital.

Jiang Yunjin, who had been concentrating on painting, suddenly noticed someone behind him. He looked at the person behind him with vigilance. When he found that it was an acquaintance, his tense expression suddenly relaxed.

"What are you here for?"

Jiang Yunjin asked curiously, turned around and continued painting, and was about to finish.

Pei Jingnian squeezed next to Jiang Yunjin and looked at the girl's skillful posture, which made him curious.

"Sister Yunjin, what kind of painting is this? Why is it different from what I've seen before?"

What Pei Jingnian said was different from what the painter drew.

Seeing this, Jiang Yunjin carefully introduced him to the other party.

"This is called plain painting! The lines are smooth and more in line with the real person's appearance."

She changed the sketch into a painting.

Upon hearing this, Pei Jingnian nodded as if he understood, and then changed the subject.

The question was whether Jiang Yunjin would miss him since they were about to separate.

Jiang Yunjin said directly, no.

Pei Jingnian felt deeply hurt.

The little guys fought for a while before they were separated by the Jiang family members who came over. There was no other reason.

The Pei family has to go first.

The two families stood at the fork in the road, and the Jiang family waved goodbye to the Pei family.

Before leaving the Pei family, Jiang Yunjin gave Pei Jingnian a parting gift, which was a water bag filled with pure spiritual spring water.

As for Pei Jingnian, he gave his jade pendant to Jiang Yunjin.

Jiang Yunjin realized the value of the jade pendant and didn't want to accept it, but finally accepted it at Mrs. Pei's insistence.

The two families said goodbye.

"Okay, we should get going."

The Jiang family had almost rested and it was time to continue their journey.

Just as the Jiang family was packing up and continuing on their journey, they suddenly heard a faint cry for help coming from the bushes not far away.

The first person to hear the voice was Jiang Yunjin.

When she heard the sound, she ran into the bushes without thinking.

As soon as they arrived, they saw a pale and skinny little boy lying in the grass. His body was covered with wounds, some of which were still bleeding.

When Jiang Yunjin saw this, he hurried forward and poured some spiritual spring water into the other person's mouth before the Jiang family arrived.

The other person swallowed it down with a gulp.

At this moment, the Jiang family heard the noise and rushed over quickly.

After seeing a little bloody man lying in the grass, he hurriedly dragged the person onto the cart, covered him with an old piece of clothing, and then continued to move forward.

Little did they know that just after the group left, a group of men in black dressed in tight-fitting clothes came with murderous looks on their faces and turned around to chase them in another direction.

After walking for a while, the Jiang family turned into a forked path.

After making sure that the surroundings were safe, Boss Jiang and his companions carefully looked at the child in front of them.

The little guy is not very old, about five or six years old. Although he is pale and thin, you can still see that his facial features are delicate.

After looking at the injuries on the little guy's body, the Jiang family fell silent.

In the end, it was Old Lady Jiang who made the decision. She asked Old Man Jiang to apply the medicine he had with him to the little guy, and then asked Sister-in-law Jiang to prepare some food.

By the time Mrs. Jiang finished cooking, the unconscious little guy slowly woke up.

The first thing I did when I woke up was to look around with caution.

It was not until he saw Jiang Yunjin standing in the crowd that he suddenly relaxed.

Before he fainted, he remembered that it was the little girl in front of him who saved him.

He looked at Jiang Yunjin and thanked him in a hoarse voice.

"Thank you."

After the person woke up, I let him eat something before asking him about his situation in detail.

Unexpectedly, after the little guy had eaten and drunk his fill, he refused to mention a word about his origins.

The Jiang family looked at each other in bewilderment, and would definitely not take in anyone of unknown origin.

They kept Jiang Yunjin because they knew the girl well and they were from the same village. They couldn't bear to see the girl die in vain.

But the little guy in front of me is different.

Seeing the scars all over his body, I'm afraid his origins are not simple...

The Jiang family is just a bunch of country folk.

The little guy couldn't utter a word in the end, and after he recovered his strength, he was ready to leave.

The Jiang family was not able to stop it, but before the other party left, they gave a seal to Jiang Yunjin.

The word "Luo" is engraved on it.

Jiang Yunjin didn't want to accept it, but couldn't stand the other party's insistence.

Finally, Jiang Yunjin gave out a bottle of pure spiritual spring water, which can speed up the recovery of wounds.

The Jiang family also gave the little guy a lot of dry food, so at least he wouldn't starve.

Seeing that the little guy didn't seem to be walking aimlessly, I knew that he had somewhere to go.

For this reason, the Jiang family felt relieved. After the little guy walked away, the group walked out from the path.

The village they are going to this time is called Taoyuan Village.

It’s Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang.
