Yunyi is vigilant enough, but has never been out, so lacks experience.
On the road, I saw an old man carrying firewood walking on the mountain road. Yunyi observed for a while, and then went forward to help. The old man with a stooped body had a simple smile, and Yunyi chatted with her all the way. Unconsciously, Yunyi told the other person all the information about going out alone and looking for the merchant caravan, which was intentionally induced by the other party.
Yunyi accompanied the old man all the way to the village entrance, and the old man invited her to have a drink of water at his home before leaving. Yunyi saw that it was getting late, so she had to return to the fork in the road and head in another direction in order to reach the next town where she planned to stay before dark.
Yunyi politely declined the old man's kindness, but the weak old man tightly grasped her hand, and the fake kindness on his face turned into a sinister smile.
A pretty orphan without anyone to care for her, whether to keep her at home to work, marry her off to his son, or sell her to human traffickers, would all be profitable.
Yunyi's wrist felt like it was tightly hooked by an iron hook. But she wasn't unprepared to go on the road alone. Seeing the situation was not right, she immediately took out the dagger she was carrying, held it tightly, and waved it randomly, forcing the old man to let go of her. Yunyi didn't hesitate for a moment, she turned around and ran.
The other villagers in the same village heard the old man's shout and ran out. They exchanged a few words and then chased after the direction where Yunyi had fled. Yunyi ran desperately, not daring to take the main road that was easy to be caught, but instead ran into the woods.
The person behind kept chasing, but fortunately the sky gradually darkened. Yunyi hid in a low-lying area, holding their breath until the people passed by. The searchers said as they walked by, "The old man can't even catch a girl, he's useless," while grumbling. They weren't discovered, thank goodness.
Yunyi squatted until their legs went numb, and only stood up by supporting their knees when they couldn't hear voices or footsteps at all. The uneven ground caused Yunyi to lose their balance, and they tumbled down the hill with a backward roll.
The good news is, there is a deep pool below, and she is not injured.
The bad news is, she has no strength, cannot swim, and cannot float up on her own. She can only keep falling, watching the moonlight on the water's surface grow farther and farther away.
If this is the last moment of life, she thought, it would be nice to say a proper goodbye to He Chun, but her soul should drift back to He Chun through the contract.
Not knowing how much water she had drunk, as her consciousness grew dim, Yunyi saw a figure quickly approaching her.
Upon waking up again, Yunyi opened her eyes to see He Chun's chin - she was lying on his lap. He Chun had a tense expression, clearly in a bad mood. He didn't look down at her when he heard her wake up, but instead reached out to support her head and help her sit up, not very gently.
Different from usual, when he stepped out of the forest, He Chun tied up his long hair simply, with thick eyebrows and deep eyes, his whole face looked more striking, more handsome, and more mature.
In the flickering firelight, Yunyi was momentarily stunned.
He Chun: "Wake up and quickly bake your own clothes."
Yunyi felt a bit dizzy and asked him subconsciously, "Did I come back after I died?"
He Chun handed her the roasted sweet potato and deliberately scared her: "Yes, you're dead, but even in death, you're still my bride."
Saying this, He Chun made Yunyi feel like she had been rescued and asked, "How did you come here? Because of me?"
He Chun tilted his head and looked at her: "Sort of, I thought about what you said. I felt it was time to come out for a walk. What's the point of a world with only one mountain? Letting its power grow stronger and stronger, in the end, it won't be able to preserve any pure land."
Yunyi leaned over and gave He Chun a hug, feeling relieved as she took a deep breath. He Chun didn't hear it, but Yunyi thought to herself, "Thank you, my guardian deity."
He Chun Gently stroking her still damp hair, letting her hold onto him without moving.
Such a delicate girl, such a fragile human life. If he had arrived any later, he really would have had to find a way to keep her soul.
He Chun hugged the exhausted and frightened Yunyi in his arms as she fell asleep, determined not to let her get hurt again.
