"Uncles and aunts, please save my grandma. I will give you money. I have money. My grandma is a little hard of hearing." The little girl cried and shouted as she ran. Her little hands were dirty. She wiped her tears and took out a purse from her bosom, waving it in her hand.

The cries echoed in the street, but no one responded. Some people were eager to try for the sake of money, but when they saw the approaching carriage, they immediately gave up.

What a joke. I have an 80-year-old mother and a hungry child. I can’t die here.

Seeing that no one dared to step forward, Ye Maner could only rely on herself. She quickened her pace, hoping that the horse would change direction and not rush towards her grandma. At the same time, she blamed herself for leaving her grandma alone while she ran to buy food.

The old lady finally reacted when she heard the sound of horse hooves right next to her ears. She turned around, her eyes widened, and she suddenly froze in place.

Just as the carriage was about to hit the old lady, a nimble figure suddenly appeared behind her, pulled the old lady to the side quickly, threw a stone, hit the horse's front hoof, and the horse suddenly knelt forward. Taking advantage of this gap, the man immediately flew to the carriage and grabbed the horse's reins, and tied the reins to the pillar next to it. Wu Shiya, who was lying on the floor inside, was caught off guard by the horse's sudden forward movement, and her head hit the wooden board, and she fainted from the pain.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the horse was under control. Ye Maner saw that her grandmother was saved, and she knelt down to thank the visitor, "Thank you, big brother, thank you for saving my grandmother, I'll give you the silver."

The visitor looked at the ragged little girl handing over a well-preserved purse.

"No need, I just saved him when I passed by."

The old woman finally recovered, picked up two pieces of linen, wrapped the fruits on the pole, walked towards the visitor, and bowed, "Thank you young man for saving me. Since you don't want money, why not accept these fruits from me? They are not worth much, just consider it as a thank you gift."

Looking at the wrapped item handed to him and the sincere eyes looking at him, the man nodded and accepted it.

The old lady was satisfied and carried the two empty shoulder poles on her back. She thanked the visitor again and left with Ye Maner.

"Mother, it's my brother, but he doesn't seem to have noticed us." Gu Qingming was pulled to a corner by Xu Qing to hide, and when he saw the familiar figure, he whispered. Xu Qing and the others were relieved when they saw the carriage was stopped.

"Good job, young man. You are quite skilled." Everyone thanked and praised him.

The visitor glanced around the crowd, saw no one, and decided to leave.

"Sir, please stay."

At this time, the maid and the servants hurried over. Along the way, there were torn vegetable leaves and fruits mixed together. The stalls were also smashed into a mess. The injured and unconscious people were helped away from the disaster scene.

The maid Xiao Tao saw the carriage finally stopped and saw the tall man in front of the carriage. She secretly admired the man's appearance. She thought it must be this man who stopped the carriage. Seeing that he was about to leave, she hurried forward and bowed slightly, "Thank you for your help, young master. Please accept this little gift." Xiao Tao took out a silver note of one thousand taels and handed it to him.

The visitor nodded, accepted it without hesitation, and said, "Goodbye." He tiptoed onto the roof and left in a hurry.

Xu Qing saw his son coming here and not in the county government office, so he thought that the matter should be settled. He found that his son was not waiting there where the donkey cart was parked, so he thought that he might come to find him, so he called Aunt Wang and the others to go back together.

When Xiao Tao saw the man flying up, she couldn't help but become infatuated with him and muttered softly, "Wow, he looks so good even when he's flying. I wonder if they're married. He and the young lady are a perfect match."

"Miss……"

Only then did Xiao Tao remember her young lady and wondered why she hadn't been around for so long.

"Miss, what's wrong with you? Don't scare Xiaotao." Xiaotao immediately got on the carriage and pulled open the curtain. She saw that her young lady had a cut on her forehead and blood was flowing down. She hurriedly reached out to feel her breath.

Fortunately, the man was unconscious. The steward quickly ordered the servant to go back and bring a carriage and asked Xiaotao to treat the wound.

Xiao Tao found the space under the seat in the carriage, took out a clean cotton cloth, wiped the wound, sprinkled some medicine powder and then wrapped it with a bandage.

"I'm really sorry for everyone today. It was the horse in the mansion that went crazy and frightened everyone. Don't worry, the master has said that every family can go to the government office to get three copper coins as an apology. We are also following up on the losses caused, and we will not let everyone be frightened in vain."

Xu Qing saw his son leave and prepared to leave as well, thinking that things should be done. He noticed that his son was not waiting there where the donkey cart was parked, so he thought that he must have come to find him.

"Oh, how can you be so worthy of this? You are truly a great judge!" When everyone heard the steward speak like this, they all sighed and praised him.

Xu Qing and the others had already left, and they had not heard what the steward said, so they naturally missed the news that they could get three copper coins. They first went to the rice shop to buy some cabbage seeds and mustard seeds, and then walked to the gathering point.

"Mom, where did you go? You didn't go to the street where the horse was frightened over there, did you?" Gu Qinghan came back carrying two packages and saw his mother and brother.

"Brother, you are awesome. I saw you saving someone." Gu Qingming praised his elder brother when he saw him coming back.

"I didn't go anywhere. I just went to Aunt Li's stall. We just happened to avoid the place where the horse was frightened. Nothing happened. But you, you didn't get hurt when you saved people, did you?"

Gu Qinghan shook his head.

When Village Chief Gu saw that everyone was present, he told everyone to get on the bus and drive back to Hsinchu Village.

The roads in Hsinchu Village are also different from when we first came in. Some of the paths are rugged and winding, with weeds growing more than half a person's height. After a rest, the villagers built a path that can be used for traffic.

The path had been repaired, so the journey was much faster. It took an hour and a half before the entrance of the cave appeared in front of them. After passing through the entrance, a bamboo gate blocked their way. Gu Qinghan got off the donkey cart and pushed open the gate, and Village Chief Gu slowly drove the donkey cart in.

Opening and closing, this door separates the two worlds.

Gu Qinghan handed the bag he was carrying to Xu Qing, asking her to deal with it. Xu Qing untied a bag, called out to Aunt Li and Lin who were about to leave, and handed it over.

"How can you still take things like that? You're too polite." Aunt Li pushed and refused.

Lin also waved his hand to refuse.

"Take it. There's still so much left. It won't last long so it won't be wasted. You can take some back for your children to eat."

The two couldn't refuse, and didn't want to let the favor down, so they accepted it.

"Mother, this fruit is sour and sweet. I want to give some to my younger brother Aduo and the others to try." Gu Qingming tore off the outer layer and stuffed it into his mouth.

Xu Qing packed up some and put them at home, and gave the rest to Gu Qingming to give to many families.

"Go and come back quickly."
