Chapter 430 The Story of Lin Ruoxue and Baixing Gully Village

Su Chen briefly went over the matters to be cautious about in the coming days before he and Lin Ruoxue left.

Upon exiting, Su Chen was surprised to find that people were standing at the entrance of almost every household. As soon as they saw the two coming out, everyone swarmed up as if scrambling to invite Lin Ruoxue to their homes for a visit.

Following that, Su Chen and Lin Ruoxue visited house after house. By the end of the night, Su Chen had lost count of how much food he had eaten and how many bowls of mare's milk tea he had drunk.

Eventually, both of them clutching their bellies, entered the village chief's house. In her previous visits here, Lin Ruoxue had always spent the night at the village chief's home.

This was the general arrangement for important guests.

"Miss Lin, Mr. Su, I have already prepared your accommodations,"

a hearty middle-aged man said with a smile. He was the village chief, Mu La.

"Thank you, Uncle Mai."

"What are you saying? You've helped our village so much over the years, this is nothing," Mu La said with a smile. "It's getting late; you should rest now."

After exchanging goodnights, everyone went to their respective rooms; Su Chen naturally shared a room with Lin Ruoxue.

Because the sound insulation here was very poor, Su Chen didn't do anything inappropriate to Lin Ruoxue. After all, bedroom amusements were better not overheard by others.

Perhaps it was because it was her first day here, and although she was quite tired, Lin Ruoxue still couldn't fall asleep. An hour later, she nudged the already sleeping Su Chen:

"Honey, come take a walk with me."

For Lin Ruoxue's request, Su Chen naturally agreed willingly. After all, sleep hardly affected him. His cultivation practices were even more effective than normal sleep.

After slipping out of the felt tent, they arrived at a nearby waterside, stepping on the soft grass, which felt very comfortable.

The two casually sat down on a small mound, and Su Chen lit a cigarette.

"The air here is really good!"

Lin Ruoxue bent her legs, hugged her knees, and exclaimed.

"It's really nice," Su Chen agreed and nodded, "Honey, can you now tell me why you came here? There must be a story."

"Why are you here?"

Suddenly, a child's face peered down from the top of the mountain at her.

Seeing someone, Lin Ruoxue felt as if she saw a glimpse of hope and quickly yelled,

"I accidentally fell down, please hurry and call someone to rescue me!"

She could not understand the child, and the child hardly grasped her words, looking confused, he scratched his head and then ran away.

Lin Ruoxue did not know if the child had gone to call for help or had simply run away disregarding her.

Although the fierce wind in the valley still battered her relentlessly, and her ears were filled with its howling, at least now there was some hope, so she clenched her teeth and persevered.

Finally, persistence paid off, and after a long half-hour wait, noisy footsteps sounded from the mountain top, and she faintly saw glimmers of firelight.

Soon after, a thick rope was thrown down. Lin Ruoxue carefully grabbed the rope and wrapped it around her body. People at the top pulled together and finally pulled her up.

By then, Lin Ruoxue's entire body had frozen stiff, feeling almost detached from her. Those people carried her back to the village where she drank two large bowls of steaming milk tea, ate two cakes, and had a sleep, gradually coming around.

"Are those people from this village?"

Hearing this, he finally understood the connection between Lin Ruoxue and this village – it was truly a life-saving grace!

"Yes, them. Do you know who that kid was?"

Lin Ruoxue turned her head and smiled as she asked Su Chen.

Su Chen shook his head slightly.

"It was Tai Wei, that little guy. He happened to be out herding that day, and two sheep had run off. He was searching everywhere and just happened to come across me. If it hadn't been for him, I might have died long ago."

Lin Ruoxue now spoke of the incident as if it were a light and breezy subject, but in fact, she still felt somewhat frightened by the memory.

"It's destiny, meant for you to have an inseparable bond with this village!"

Su Chen smiled and pulled her into his embrace.

"Yes, husband, you're right," Lin Ruoxue murmured, "and then I stayed in the village for a few days. But do you know what impressed me the most about this village?"
