Song Xiuyan’s expression suddenly became complicated. This woman was actually his fiancée! Ten years ago, his father and Ding Yao’s grandfather had decided on their marriage. At that time, Ding Yao wasn’t mute, but because his father had arranged the marriage at will, he was very resistant to this marriage.

Song Xiuyan put down the basket on his back and helped Ding Yao examine the wound on her forehead. He saw that the medicinal herbs applied on it were no longer bleeding and was slightly relieved. “Did you learn medical skills from your grandfather? The leaves you applied have the effect of reducing inflammation and stopping bleeding. There’s no need to re-treat the wound. I’ll help you bandage it.”

Ding Yao nodded and sighed at this man’s intelligence. She only needed to gesture a few times before he could understand what she meant. Moreover, this man wasn’t as cold as when they first met. He had become enthusiastic and helpful. Ding Yao guessed that he might know the original owner’s grandfather, and might even have received help from the original owner’s grandfather, which was why he changed his attitude after recognizing her identity.

After bandaging the wound, Song Xiuyan took out a washed-up white handkerchief and gently wiped the blood stains off Ding Yao’s face, revealing a pale but delicate little face. He stared at him with watery eyes, which looked like those of an abandoned puppy. Song Xiuyan’s heart fluttered. He asked in a gentle voice, “Did anyone see you when you fell?”

Ding Yao shook her head. She didn’t need to tell a stranger about her own family matters. She made gestures with her hands as she did so. Miraculously, Song Xiuyan understood what she meant. “Are you saying that your sister pulled you up the mountain to collect firewood while you were still sick? Then your sister wasn’t with you and didn’t know that you fell, so she didn’t come to find you?”

Ding Yao nodded.

Song Xiuyan’s expression became more and more complicated. Five months ago, Ding Yao’s stepmother, Wang Hongxia, came to look for him once and asked him to bring Ding Yao over early. She said that as long as he brought Ding Yao over, there was no need for betrothal gifts. However, Song Xiuyan’s mother refused. From this, it could be seen that Ding Yao’s life at home wasn’t very good. The family treated her as a burden and only wanted to send her away as soon as possible.

In fact, Song Xiuyan had originally planned to refuse this marriage. However, when he saw Ding Yao’s current state, he couldn’t bear it.

Ding Yao saw Song Xiuyan’s changing expression and was about to ask what was wrong when a wave of dizziness came over. She couldn’t help but lean back. Fortunately, Song Xiuyan was quick enough to support her, thus preventing the possibility of Ding Yao falling to the ground and getting injured again.

Seeing that Ding Yao’s body was weak, Song Xiuyan moved his palm over her back slightly, and a continuous stream of internal energy slowly entered Ding Yao’s body. Ding Yao only felt a heat on her back, and a warm current flowed from her back to her limbs and bones. Her dispirited feeling also vanished. This… This was the legendary kung fu? This man was too amazing!

After receiving Song Xiuyan’s energy, Ding Yao felt that she was instantly full of energy and revived. Even the space of the medicinal field, which she hadn’t felt since she transmigrated, was now connected to her again! Her herbal field space also transmigrated with her!

Ding Yao’s herbal field space was an ancient inheritance that she had obtained by chance in her previous life. It was only about ten square meters in size, and there were a lot of precious herbs planted in it. Most importantly, there was a spiritual spring pool inside that could cure all kinds of diseases!

The original owner wasn’t born deaf and mute, but she lost her voice afterwards. As long as she drank spiritual spring water every day, she could be cured! In her previous life, Ding Yao had placed many useful things in the space of the herbal field. With just a thought, she could take them out and use them. This time, she didn’t have to worry about who would harm her, and she didn’t have to worry about having to live a hard life!

Ding Yao suppressed her joy and tried her best not to lose her composure, so that the man wouldn’t notice anything strange. At this moment, the sound of footsteps came from behind again. A middle-aged woman shouted with her hands on her waist, “What are you doing?! A man and a woman huddled together in the forest in broad daylight. Are you shameless?!”

Ding Yao recognized the woman’s voice. It was the original owner’s stepmother, Wang Hongxia. Wang Hongxia wasn’t tall. Her chin was long and sharp, and she looked mean.

Song Xiuyan’s expression didn’t look too good. He also recognized who it was. He withdrew his palm that was on Ding Yao’s back and looked at Wang Hongxia coldly.

Wang Hongxia had long recognized Song Xiuyan. She had made up her mind to throw the burden of Ding Yao to Song Xiuyan today, so she yelled, “What? What are you looking at? What did I say wrong? You put one hand on Ding Yao’s back and the other on her chest. You’re obviously doing something shameful!”
