Chapter 415 A Beauty Picked Up for Free

Despite her short stature and thin frame, Granny Shi seemed to have inexhaustible strength when she walked.

Not to mention that Zhu Yu hasn't eaten for almost two days and hasn't drunk any water for a day, so she's already very weak. Even when she's in good condition, she would probably have to walk a few steps faster to keep up with Mo Mo's pace right now.

She couldn't help but wonder to herself how this Granny Shi could be so vigorous despite her age.

As the group entered the woods, Zhu Yu's heart pounded with excitement.

Although she had just passed the first hurdle and successfully persuaded Granny Shi to come out with her to deliver food and water to her sister, this "sister" was, after all, a "fake." No matter how well Zhu Yu thought her plan was, she couldn't be sure just how sharp Granny Shi's eyesight was.

After walking through the woods for a while, in the distance, you could see a person dressed in white lying motionless on the ground under a large tree. They did not appear to be conscious. Long, black hair was draped behind them, obscuring their face and making it impossible to discern their appearance.

Granny Shi saw it, pointed to the motionless white-clad figure on the ground in the distance, and turned to ask Zhu Yu, "Is that your unconscious sister?"

"Exactly," Zhu Yu replied hastily.

Granny Shi waved to the servants carrying teapots, steamed buns, and flatbreads, signaling them to go and check.

Upon seeing this, Zhu Yu quickly stepped forward, overtook the servants, and turned to block their way.

After being thirsty and hungry for so long, this sudden rush and acceleration really took its toll. Zhu Yu felt a wave of dizziness and her body swayed, but luckily she managed to regain her balance and didn't fall headfirst.

"Oh dear, what are you doing?" Granny Shi's voice was full of heartache, and her old face, which was covered with deep wrinkles, was also full of concern. "Miss Yan Ning, your body is already quite weak, and you can't withstand such a sudden ordeal!"
Why are you in such a hurry? Tell me slowly, it's heartbreaking to see you like this!

She spoke with great concern, but her gaze towards Zhu Yu lacked warmth.

"Granny Shi, please let me go and check on my sister!" Zhu Yu pleaded with her. "After all, my sister is a young woman who is still unmarried. It would be inconvenient for a group of men to come forward and check on her."

“Oh dear, Miss Yan Ning is right! I was so worried about your sister’s well-being that I didn’t think things through.” Granny Shi gestured for the servants to place the dry rations and water on the ground in front of her. “Please help yourselves, Miss Yan Ning. We’ll stay here and watch over her. If your sister doesn’t wake up and needs any other help, just let us know.”

"Thank you, Granny Shi! It's truly a blessing from the Bodhisattva that my sister and I were able to meet such a kind person as Granny Shi!" Zhu Yu expressed her gratitude repeatedly, bowing deeply.

"Hehehehehehehehehe—" Granny Shi let out a string of slightly shrill laughter, which made people's skin crawl. "It's all fate, and there's nothing we can do about it."

"Miss Yan Ning, you should go see your sister first!"

Zhu Yu nodded hurriedly, bent down and picked up the teapot and teacup from the ground, then smeared a piece of sesame cake, and staggered over to Yan Daoxin, who was lying motionless on the ground. She carefully reached out to help him up, and said with a sob in her voice, "Sister, are you alright? Open your eyes and look at me, it's Ning'er who's back!"

God protected my sister and me, and I met a kind old woman who sent someone to bring us food and tea. She told me to get up and have a bite.

"We're now each other's only support. You can't afford to have any more mishaps and leave me all alone!" She reached out to help Yan Daoxin up, while admiring his acting skills. Lying on the ground, even his breathing became very shallow, making him look like he was really weak and had already fainted.

With her "support", Yan Daoxin slowly propped up half of her body, swayed slightly, and weakly raised her head to look at Granny Shi and the others standing not far away. She seemed to want to get up and bow, but her body swayed and she almost fell headfirst.

Zhu Yu quickly grabbed him, took a teapot from the side, poured a cup of tea, and handed it to Master Yan's lips.

This time, Yan Daoxin wasn't faking it; his throat was so thirsty it felt like it was about to burst into flames. He hurriedly took the drink and gulped it down in a few mouthfuls.

Zhu Yu quickly poured him another cup and slipped the flatbread into his hand.

Yan Daoxin acted just like a loving older sister, and after some back and forth with Zhu Yu, they finally tore a piece of flatbread in half and wolfed it down with tea.

Throughout the entire process, Granny Shi stood silently to the side, observing coldly.

Having eaten and drunk, Zhu Yu felt that his strength was indeed better than before. So, while saying words of concern, he used his hands to comb Yan Daoxin's hair, which had been covering his face, to both sides.

Now, Yan Daoxin's face, which had been half-hidden, was completely revealed to Granny Shi and the others.

Yan Daoxin, looking weak, struggled to straighten his knees and bowed slightly to Granny Shi to express his gratitude.

Granny Shi had been observing coldly, but when Yan Daoxin lifted her hair, her eyes immediately widened in surprise.

Not only her, but also the servants who came with her to get the things were staring intently at Yan Daoxin. One of them even had his mouth slightly open, looking dazed, and didn't remember to close his mouth.

Despite wearing similar worn-out coarse cloth clothes as Zhu Yu, and with his hair completely disheveled, hanging loosely on his shoulders and back, and some stray hairs stuck to his cheeks with sweat, Yan Daoxin still looked captivating.

The dirt on her face couldn't hide her originally fair complexion, and her beautiful eyes and brows that transcended gender. She looked like a fairy who had mistakenly entered the mortal world and accidentally suffered some hardship.

It took Granny Shi a while to come to her senses. She looked at the older sister who had just been rescued, and then at the younger sister who had just impressed her with her beauty. Suddenly, she felt that the younger sister seemed somewhat overshadowed by her older sister.

It's true what they say: comparisons are odious!

Granny Shi's eyes couldn't help but light up, and the corners of her mouth uncontrollably turned up.

That girl was right. It really was a blessing from heaven that she met a beauty who came to her door!
