Wind Chaser: Rebirth in the 18th Year of the Republic of China

Seeing Shen Jinzhen's gaze, Wei Ruolai thought she wanted to ask about fishing.

"We usually hunt more in the summer to store food for the winter."

Some time ago, my father was also fishing.

"Yeah, I've seen it before. There are a lot of fishermen and it's very lively."

Shen Jinzhen looked around and saw an empty river. There was not a single fishing boat in sight, nor was there his savior from last time.

She lowered her eyes, feeling a little regretful.

Wei Ruolai saw this and took Jinzhen's hand in his own, rubbing the back of her hand with his fingertips to divert her attention.

This method really worked. Soon Shen Jinzhen put aside what he had just done and indulged in the fresh air of the countryside.

"Jinzhen, let's go. The fourth house in the village ahead is my home."

A village gradually appeared in front of them, and Shen Jinzhen followed Wei Ruolai's gaze and noticed the village in front of him. However, Wei Ruolai's house was blocked by other houses and could not be seen clearly.

"Is it okay for me to prepare again?"

It is autumn now, and although the temperature is still a bit hot, Shen Jinzhen chose a long and formal outfit in order to leave a good impression on his elders.

Hearing that people here dress relatively conservatively, she simply gave up skirts and the current fashionable women's clothing styles and changed into the sky blue long gown and wide-leg pants that are more popular here, and tied her braids with a rope.

It looks refreshing, capable and youthful, and there is no sense of distance.

Jinzhen looked so bright and cute that Wei Ruolai couldn't help but reach out to touch her, but Shen Jinzhen saw through her intention and slapped her away.

"Don't touch it, it's just been combed."

This was her first time meeting Ruo's family, so she had to make careful preparations for everything.

Wei Ruolai chuckled, stopped making trouble, and walked back to his home with his people.

"Is it the third brother who brought the food? Just leave it at the door, I'll get it later."

Wei Jie'en had his back to the two of them, without even turning his head, busy with something.

Bartering was popular in their village. He would give some fish to each household after fishing, and similarly, others would give him some vegetables after they farmed.

"Dad, it's me."

Wei Ruolai pulled Shen Jinzhen forward.

"Gouguzi is back? Then why not stay here tonight and have dinner together?" Wei Jie'en heard the familiar voice and turned around to ask him to wash the vegetables, but he saw a strange girl.

This made Wei Jie'en stunned. This girl looked familiar. Had he seen her somewhere before?

At this time Shen Jinzhen also saw him and was a little surprised.

She was just regretting not seeing her savior, when he appeared before her.

Shen Jinzhen immediately stepped forward to express his gratitude excitedly.

"Hello, uncle, thank you for saving me and Fang Ling last time. I fainted at that time and didn't thank you in time. Later, I was busy and didn't have time to come. I feel deeply guilty. I hope you don't mind."

Wei Jie'en was stunned. Gouguzai was really something. He just helped with a small favor, but he brought it back specially to thank him, which made him feel embarrassed.

Looking at the enthusiastic girl in front of him, he smiled innocently, "Little girl, it's not necessary. When people are in danger, it is their duty to help each other. If you hadn't tried to save yourself, I wouldn't have been able to save you in the first place."

He still remembered the girl and used up his last bit of strength to throw the rope to her. She saved herself.
