Chapter 10: Thank You Gift
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Dr. Su! Is Dr. Su home?” A shout rang out from outside.
Song Yiren glanced at Xu Tiansheng and Su Jinyue before saying, “I’ll get the door.” Putting down her bowl and utensils, she stood up and walked out.
After a while, Song Yiren walked in with an elderly man and three middle-aged people. “Teacher, Uncle Wu and the rest are here.”
When Uncle Wu saw Su Jinyue, he swiftly walked forward and gratefully bowed to Su Jinyue. “Dr. Su, thank you for saving my wife. Today, if it weren’t for you, the consequences would have been too horrible to even think about.” He had gone to town with his sons today and came back, only to find out that his wife had been bitten by a poisonous snake.
Su Jinyue took a step to the side when Uncle Wu bowed and said, “Uncle Wu, you don’t have to be polite. It is a doctor’s duty to save people.” It was God’s will that she happened to come across this incident and managed to save Aunty Wu this time. Had she not been reborn, she would only have been able to look on helplessly as Aunty Wu passed away.
“Number One, Number Two and Number Three, hurry up and thank Dr. Su and quickly give the gifts to Dr. Su,” Uncle Wu said to his three sons.
“Dr. Su, thank you so much. You must accept these gifts.”
“Yeah, if it weren’t for you, my mother would have died.”
“Dr. Su, it’s just a small gift, I hope you won’t dislike it.” Number One, Number Two and Number Three said one after another, and placed the gifts in their hands onto the table
Su Jinyue glanced at the gifts on the table and said, “I accept your kind intentions, but you should take the gifts back. I really can’t accept them.” It was not easy for anyone in this era and these gifts must have cost the Wu family a fortune. Moreover, when she fell off the cliff, it was also Second Brother Wu who had discovered and rescued her. She had not even properly thanked him for that.
“Dr. Su, you must accept these gifts. Otherwise, we’ll feel uneasy,” Uncle Wu insisted.
After pondering for a moment, Su Jinyue said, “Alright then, I’ll accept your gift.”
Turning to look at Second Brother Wu, she said, “Second Brother Wu, thank you for saving me the previous time. These gifts are my thank you gift to Second Brother Wu. You must accept them, otherwise I’ll feel uneasy.” It was only today that she recalled that her saviour in her past life was Second Brother Wu.
Second Brother Wu quickly waved his hand and refused, “How can that happen? Besides, Dr. Xu has already thanked me.” He had come to thank Dr. Su, so how did he become the one being thanked instead.
“Second Brother Wu, the debt of gratitude I owe you for saving my life is greater than the heavens. Of course I have to thank you personally. Thank you!” Su Jinyue earnestly bowed to Second Brother Wu. This was indeed a very belated thank you.
In her past life, she had intended to thank Second Brother Wu after her body recovered. However, it so happened that Aunty Wu passed away during that time.
Later on, she left her hometown and went to start a business in City Wei. When the factory was on the right track, she wanted to get Second Brother Wu to come and work in her factory. What she did not expect was that Second Brother Wu had passed away the year before. According to his family members, it was due to a myocardial infarction.1
“I think that’s fine. Second Wu, just accept these gifts,” Xu Tiansheng agreed with a smile.
“But these gifts are from us to Dr. Su,” Uncle Wu said in slight confusion. Getting the gifts back after giving it out. Was this considered giving or not?
“Uncle Wu, I’ve already accepted the gifts you gave me. These gifts are from me to Second Brother Wu,” Su Jinyue said with a smile.
Seeing that Uncle Wu still had a confused expression on his face, Xu Tiansheng grinned and said, “Big Brother Wu, don’t worry about it. It’s getting late now, hurry up and go back to take care of your wife.”
“Aunty Wu’s body is still very weak, so there must be someone taking care of her at all times,” Su Jinyue echoed.
Uncle Wu looked at his three sons and said, “Alright then, we’ll head on back first.”
Su Jinyue and Xu Tiansheng picked up the gifts on the table and handed them to the three Wu brothers and said, “Don’t forget to take the gifts.”
The oldest Wu brother exchanged looks with his two younger brothers, before reaching out to take back the gifts.
After sending the Wu family off, Su Jinyue closed the courtyard door and returned to the house to continue eating dinner. Although the food was cold, her heart was filled with joy. Today, she finally got the opportunity to say thank you to Second Brother Wu. This was also fulfilling her wish in her past life.
Time flew by. Another week passed in the blink of an eye.
Early in the morning, Su Jinyue had already prepared the tools she needed to go up the mountain to gather herbs. After several days of exercise, her body had completely recovered and she had no problem going up the mountain to gather medicinal herbs.
“Jinyue, I think you should rest for a longer period of time before you go and gather herbs,” Xu Tiansheng said worriedly. He was still a little worried about letting Jinyue go up to the mountain alone to gather herbs.
However, he had to attend a meeting in town today and could not go along with her. He had wanted Yiren to accompany her, but someone had to be in the clinic.
“Teacher, my injuries have all healed. Don’t worry, I will never go to dangerous places again,” Su Jinyue promised.
Xu Tiansheng shook his head resignedly and said, “Come home early.” Having raised her single-handedly, he knew her personality the best. Even if he did not agree to it, she would sneak out the moment he went for his meeting.
“Yes sir!” Su Jinyue stood at attention and saluted Xu Tiansheng, as she laughed cheekily.
“Really don’t know what to do with you.” Xu Tiansheng smiled and shook his head. With these two girls keeping him company, his life would never be boring or dreary.
Carrying a basket on her back, Su Jinyue smiled and waved to Xu Tiansheng. “Teacher, I’m heading off.”
Little Elf said that as long as she could find medicinal herbs that contained spiritual energy, she would be able to be promoted to the second level, Wisdom Eye. At that time, her X-ray vision would be able to last for up to five minutes.
Shangxin Village was surrounded by mountains, and the mountains were rich in all sorts of rare wild fruits. The villagers would often go up the mountains to pick some as well, either for them to eat on their own, or to sell them in the town.
However, there were a few mountains that the villagers would never go up. On those mountains, not only were there all kinds of poisonous snakes, but there were also ferocious beasts and some unknown terrifying things.
After thinking about it for a while, Su Jinyue eventually gave up on the idea of taking risks and walked towards the mountain that she often climbed. Although she knew some self-defense skills, if she really encountered a beast, she could only surrender and wait to be caught.
However, this time, she planned to go deeper into the mountain, where there were fewer people. Perhaps there might be herbs that contained spiritual energy.
The mountain road was very steep and difficult to walk, but this did not pose a huge problem for Su Jinyue. Since she was young, she had been following her teacher to gather herbs in the mountains. Thus, she had gotten accustomed to trekking in the mountains from a long time ago.
After passing by several places where she often gathered herbs, Su Jinyue continued to walk deeper into the mountain forest.
“Little Elf, do you sense any spiritual energy?” Su Jinyue stopped in her tracks and sat down under a tree.
Then, she held up the military canteen that she hung on her body, and took a few big gulps of water. After walking all morning, she hadn’t gained anything at all. Can it be that I really have to go to those mountains in order to find them?
“There’s nothing. Master, why don’t you go further ahead to take a look,” Little Elf advised. How could herbs that contained spiritual energy be that easy to find.
“Okay!” Su Jinyue screwed on the lid of the canteen. She then stood up and continued to walk forward.
If Song Yiren could cultivate her eyes to the extent that she was able to control her movements in her past life, Su Jinyue believed that she could definitely do it too.
