"This is the first time I've seen someone who is more anxious than us." The two men smiled obscenely, with malicious eyes.

They led the people into the grove.

"Our home is just over this mountain. Let's go."

Shangguan Sitong looked around and stepped into the mountain.

The two men behind him could no longer wait.

The trees hid the figures of the three people, and the road gradually returned to peace.

In the forest.

Shangguan Sitong's legs were sore from walking: "How long will it take to get there?"

"We're here already." The two men approached with evil smiles.

"Where are we?" Shangguan Sitong turned around and was frightened when he saw the two men's ferocious faces. "What do you want to do?"

"Two men and one woman in the middle of nowhere. What do you think we want to do?"

"Look at this woman's skin, it's still quite tender. She should be worth a lot of money if she sells it. I'm really lucky today."

The two men grinned lasciviously.

Shangguan Sitong turned around and ran, but his legs went weak and he tripped over the grass and fell to the ground.

"Ouch, don't get hurt. I feel bad for you."

Shangguan Sitong tried to dodge and grabbed the grass beside him and threw it over: "Don't come over here, don't come over here——"

The two men rushed over.

Shangguan Sitong screamed and struggled: "Help, help——"

"Go ahead and yell. The more you yell, the more excited we will get. No one will come to rescue you."

The next moment, a man stopped moving.

He covered the back of his head and slowly turned around to see a boy holding a stick.

"It hurts. Who are you, kid?"

The man who came was Wei Cheng, holding a stick and threatening: "Don't touch her!"

Shangguan Sitong hurriedly got up and quickly ran to hide behind Wei Cheng.

"How dare you ruin my good deeds. Let's go together and beat this guy to death!"

The two men rushed forward.

Wei Cheng swung the stick hard and hit the opponent in three directions. The opponent was hit hard on the leg and held his foot and cried out in pain.

Shangguan Sitong's eyes were filled with anger. Good job!

Wei Cheng didn't give the other person a chance to react, he rushed forward and started hitting him.

The man covered his head and ran away, screaming.

Shangguan Sitong was overjoyed and clapped her hands. Wei Cheng turned around, grabbed her hand, and ran away immediately.

Two adult men might not be his match even if he had sticks in his hands.

While they are distracted, leave this place quickly. Shangguan Sitong has been walking for a long time and can't run any further.

Wei Cheng squatted down when he saw this: "Come on up, I'll carry you."

There was no time to refuse, Shangguan Sitong lay on the boy's back. Wei Cheng carried her on his back and ran all the way to the city.

The place they are now is quite far from the village, so for safety reasons the best option is to return to the city.

The two men were furious and chased after him, cursing. After all, they were injured, so their speed was somewhat affected.

Wei Cheng was carrying someone on his back and didn't dare to stop.

He had nothing in his mind and was only focused on running as fast as possible to bring the person back.

When they saw the city gate, they finally smiled. The two men saw the soldiers guarding the city and left angrily.

The moment he stepped into the city gate, Wei Cheng put the man down and fell straight down.

Shangguan Sitong shouted anxiously: "Are you okay? Wake up, don't scare me. Someone, come quickly."

The soldier asked and found out that it was someone from the Shangguan Mansion, so he immediately sent someone to report it.

Soon a group of servants and maids came and took the man back to the mansion.

When Shangguan Sitong got home, he immediately asked about the boy: "How is he? Is he okay?"

Yun Ping advised: "Miss, he is fine. A doctor has gone to see him. You are covered in dirt, change your clothes quickly."

Wash, change clothes, and dress up.

After thinking about it day and night, Shangguan Sitong finally returned home, but she was not as happy as she had imagined.

Ruhong brought the ointment and said, "Girl, how have you been these days? Look, your hands are covered with wounds."

A pair of delicate hands, covered with fine scars.

Shangguan Sitong felt the coolness after applying the medicine. What's the big deal about this injury?

Those old women and maids had even deeper wounds. It's impossible not to get hurt while doing work.

She has been careful and cautious.

Shangguan Sitong turned around and asked, "Where is the person who saved me? I'll go see him."

Yun Ping applied the medicine carefully: "He is a servant in the mansion. It is natural for him to save the girl. He will get the reward, so you don't have to worry. Are you hungry or thirsty? Ruhong, go make some tea and get the girl's favorite food..."

Not being able to make sense, Shangguan Sitong stood up and said, "Where is that person? If you don't tell me, I'll go find him myself."

Yun Ping chased after him: "Hey girl. He's from the older girl's side..."

Shangguan Sitong didn't finish listening, she lifted her skirt and ran to Luo Wanyuan. How could she feel relieved if she didn't see with her own eyes that she was safe after saving her?

Late courtyard.

The doctor examined Wei Cheng and prescribed some medicine.

Wei Lingbo took care of her brother with tears in her eyes, hoping that he would wake up soon.

Shangguan Sitong rushed into the hall: "Sister, I heard that the man was sent to you. Is he okay?"

Shangguan Haitong, who had just returned from Wei Lingbo's room, sat down and said, "I've seen the doctor, and everything is fine."

"Great." Shangguan Sitong raised his eyes cautiously and asked, "Can I go see him?"

Shangguan Haitong looked at the second sister, smiled and nodded: "Go. But he hasn't woken up yet, don't make any noise."

"Got it." Shangguan Sitong turned and ran away, with the little maid leading the way.

When Wei Lingbo heard that the second young lady had arrived, he stood up and saluted: "Thank you, second young lady, for coming to see me."

Shangguan Sitong learned for the first time that the man who saved her had a sister: "Stop being so polite. How is your brother?"

Wei Lingbo lowered his head and replied: "The doctor said that he was tired and he would be fine after a few days of rest."

Heaving a sigh of relief, Shangguan Sitong stretched his neck to take a look: "I'll just take a look, can you not wake me up?"

Wei Lingbo nodded.

Shangguan Sitong smiled happily and tiptoed to the bedside.

The boy lay quietly on the bed, his lips somewhat pale.

He has regular facial features and is quite strong.

Shangguan Sitong felt relieved after seeing this and quietly left.

She returned to the hall: "Sister, he saved me and did me a great service..."

"Yes. There will be a reward." Shangguan Haitong drank tea calmly, "Sit down. Why do you want to run away from the manor?"

Shangguan Sitong sat down with a guilty conscience: "It's too boring on the farm. I don't eat or drink well, and I have to work. I've been away for so long, I miss my father, mother, eldest sister, third sister and fourth brother. I won't dare to do it again next time, eldest sister, please don't be angry."

"I'm not angry. You were frightened, go back and rest." Shangguan Haitong put down the teacup.

Pursing his lips and glancing at her, Shangguan Sitong asked tentatively, "Can I come to see him more often in the future?"

Shangguan Haitong raised her eyes and looked at her second sister who was only fourteen years old.

She had mixed feelings: "Second sister, you are the master and he is the servant. Saving you is my duty."

"I know." Shangguan Sitong lowered his head.

Since my elder sister doesn't allow me to watch it, why don't I just come here secretly?

Shangguan Haitong shook his head gently: "It seems that your time at the manor was not in vain, there are indeed some changes..."

With a pair of big eyes, Shangguan Sitong looked forward to the compliment. Right? She is not bad.

They all learned how to work.

Shangguan Haitong stood up and said, "Mother is looking for a teacher for my fourth brother. It just so happens that you are back. Let's go to class together then."

"Ah?" Shangguan Sitong was not someone who could sit still. She wanted to sleep as soon as she heard the teacher's lecture.
