After transmigrating into the body of a widow, I became the richest man in the capital.

Chapter 369 Anecdotes of Qingfeng Village (5)

Shopkeeper Qian also knew that although they had only met by chance and did not know Qian Musheng very well, he could tell that this young man was very capable. Even if the young man did not like his daughter, there was no way to force them to get together. So it was already good enough to know such an important person as Qian Musheng. He was not hoping to have any further development with him. It was better to just make friends with him.

Qian Musheng, being a good Samaritan, escorted the Qian family to the capital before parting ways.

He had his own things to do. Qian Musheng came to the capital this time because his father had called him there; there had been some business problems.

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

The family at Su Xiaoxiao's home remained peaceful as always. Liu Qiaomei and Su Bingcheng had made plans to go up the mountain together, but she did not tell Su Xiaoxiao about it.

That day, Liu Qiaomei dressed up and took her little basket, ready to go up the mountain to pick some wild vegetables. If she was lucky, she might also be able to pick some camellias and wild chrysanthemums.

She didn't know if the flowers on the mountain had bloomed yet this season.

Mainly because she was quite young, she didn't understand these things very well, and she left home without telling anyone.

Su Xiaoxiao had already gone to the workshop by then and was not at home, so she did not know the specific situation.

Liu Qiaomei and Su Bingcheng met at the village entrance at the time they had agreed upon beforehand.

When Liu Qiaomei appeared in Su Bingcheng's sight, Su Bingcheng's eyes almost sparkled with excitement. He walked up to Liu Qiaomei and said to her, "You've finally come! Let's go!"

Liu Qiaomei said a little embarrassedly, "I'm late, aren't I? I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long, Young Master Su!"

Su Bingcheng quickly replied, "It's alright. I'd be happy to wait here for a year if I could be as beautiful as you."

Upon hearing this, Liu Qiaomei thought, "If we wait a whole year, we'll turn into fossils."

She could only laugh coyly and say, "Young master, you really know how to joke!"

In fact, she also knew that compared to Su Ping'an, Su Bingcheng seemed much more glib and smooth-talking.

She disliked glib and smooth-talking people, and by comparison, she admired Su Ping'an's personality more.

The two of them went up the mountain near their village together. Su Bingcheng had been here many times before, so he knew the way very well.

Liu Qiaomei wasn't from Baihua Village, so she wasn't very familiar with the roads there.

She needed Su Bingcheng to guide her, and Su Bingcheng led the way, being very attentive.

When they got up the mountain, they found that only some wild vegetables had started to sprout new buds, while other flowers and plants had not yet sprouted.

There is still snow in some parts of the mountain, due to the high altitude and low temperature.

Liu Qiaomei was quite disappointed, but Su Pingan was different. In fact, he knew what was going on, but he still said to Liu Qiaomei, "Why don't we go further into the mountains and see if there are any camellias in bloom?"

He pointed to a patch of land nearby and said, "There used to be a patch of camellias growing here. They were a good thing. The pharmacies in town all bought them. You could pick some and sell them and make a lot of money."

Liu Qiaomei also wanted to say that if she could earn money, she would like to give Su Xiaoxiao some money for household expenses, since she was eating and living at Su Xiaoxiao's house every day, which would require money.

And it wasn't just her alone; her father was there too, so Liu Qiaomei felt guilty and wanted to do more for Su Xiaoxiao. Liu Qiaomei didn't have many other thoughts, so she continued to follow Su Bingcheng deeper into the mountains.

The path became much more difficult as they ventured deeper into the mountains. Liu Qiaomei tripped and fell, scraping her knee and drawing blood.

Su Bingcheng quickly came over to support her and said he would take a look at her wound.

However, since men and women should not touch each other, Liu Qiaomei refused and told Su Bingcheng to turn his head away. Su Bingcheng had no choice but to turn his head away.

Liu Qiaomei checked her wound and found it was broken and bleeding a little, but there was no way to bandage it on the mountain, so she had to bear it. She was still limping, so Su Bingcheng said to her, "There's a small wooden cabin up ahead, which is for people who come up the mountain to hunt. If it's too late to get back, they can rest there. Why don't we go there first and then try to bandage your leg?"

Now that things had come to this, Liu Qiaomei had no choice but to follow Su Bingcheng's arrangements. Su Bingcheng helped her up, and they slowly made their way into the mountains.

Liu Qiaomei didn't think much of it at the time. Logically speaking, after Liu Qiaomei was injured, Su Bingcheng should have tried every means to bring Liu Qiaomei down the mountain.

But no, instead he took Liu Qiaomei and continued into the mountains.

The little wooden house that Su Bingcheng mentioned was indeed quite far away, and the path became increasingly difficult. By the time Liu Qiaomei finally found the little wooden house, she was almost too exhausted to walk any further.

Su Bingcheng helped Liu Qiaomei into the small wooden house. Inside, there was a small wooden bed, a table and chairs, and some bows and arrows and animal hides. It seemed that hunters had indeed stayed here.

Su Bingcheng helped Liu Qiaomei to the small wooden bed and said to her, "Qiaomei, wait for me a moment, I'll go out and get some water to wash your wound."

Liu Qiaomei agreed, and Su Bingcheng went out.

A short while later, Su Bingcheng returned, carrying water and some wild fruits he had picked.

"Qiao Mei, shall I take a look at your wound?"

As Su Bingcheng spoke, he reached out to lift Liu Qiaomei's skirt to look at her knees, but Liu Qiaomei quickly stopped him.

Liu Qiaomei blushed and said, "No need, just give me some water, I can wash my wound myself."

Su Bingcheng felt a little embarrassed. It was a bit cold inside, and Su Bingcheng's face turned red. He said he would go out and find some firewood to light the stove and warm himself up.

Liu Qiaomei was cleaning her wounds inside the house when Su Bingcheng went out to fetch firewood and lit the stove.

After we got back, the room quickly warmed up.

Just as Liu Qiaomei was about to tear off a piece of cloth to bandage the wound on her leg, Su Bingcheng suddenly burst in from outside.

He saw Liu Qiaomei wrapping her left knee with a cloth, revealing her very fair leg. Su Bingcheng was so frightened that he quickly retreated from the room. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

He quickly apologized in front of the cabin, "I'm so sorry, Qiaomei."

Liu Qiaomei blushed deeply with embarrassment. After quickly bandaging her wound, she whispered to the wooden door, "Young Master Su, it's cold outside, please come inside!"

Su Bingcheng then entered the house, but this time, the way he looked at Liu Qiaomei was clearly different, though Liu Qiaomei didn't notice.
