Chapter 169: Human heart, human nature
Shen Shuyuan came out soon. Song Yu stood up and watched him walk over.
"Miss Song." Shen Shuyuan called out.
Song Yu asked, "Brother Shen, what are your plans next?"
Shen Shuyuan said, "I want to take my fellow apprentices back to the sect, and I will also report to the sect what Miss Song told me."
Song Yu narrowed his eyes, stared at Shen Shuyuan for a while, and said, "Qingling received a thousand-mile horse a few days ago. It's of excellent quality. You can give it to Brother Shen."
Shen Shuyuan thanked her: "Thank you, Miss Song."
Before he could finish his words, he heard Song Yu say, "Jiang Tian's injuries are too severe. I'm afraid he can't bear such a bumpy ride. If Brother Shen trusts me, you can let Jiang Tian recuperate here. When he recovers, I will prepare a carriage for him and send him back."
"What do you mean, Miss Song?" Shen Shuyuan's eyes flashed slightly as he looked at Song Yu in surprise.
Song Yu said, "Brother Shen, please don't misunderstand me. We have known each other for a while, and I just hope that everyone can be well. Otherwise, I wouldn't have said so much to you, let alone do these things."
"Miss Song," Shen Shuyuan paused for a moment and continued, "She is not an ordinary woman."
Song Yu was slightly startled, then reacted and said with a faint smile: "It's just for a living."
"I already understand what Miss Song means," he said, and then he took out a jade token from his arms. Song Yu looked at it carefully and saw two words "Jinghong" engraved on it.
"What is this?" Song Yu asked.
Shen Shuyuan said, "As a member of the martial arts world, it is my duty to punish evildoers and eliminate evil. I will report this to my master and inform others as well."
Song Yu looked at his expression and understood what was going on. He said to him, "In that case, thank you, Brother Shen."
Shen Shuyuan looked at her and said, "Then Junior Brother Jiang will be left to you, young lady."
The two reached a consensus on this.
Shen Shuyuan went back to see Ji Qiuyue and told her the whole story.
When Ji Qiuyue learned the truth, she was shocked.
"Qiuyue, you stay and take care of Xiaotian. I will go back to the sect and report the situation to Master." Shen Shuyuan stated his plan.
Ji Qiuyue frowned slightly: "Brother, I will go back with you."
Shen Shuyuan stopped her: "No, you have to stay."
Ji Qiuyue was confused, so Shen Shuyuan said, "Xiaotian is here, and Young Master Fu is here too. If there's anything..." He paused for a moment and continued, "Notify me later."
Ji Qiuyue looked at Shen Shuyuan's expression and said after a long while: "Okay, I'll follow your arrangements."
Shen Shuyuan was not leaving today. Jiang Tian woke up early the next morning.
He was a little excited, and Ji Qiuyue and Shen Shuyuan talked to him for a long time.
He gradually calmed down.
Song Yu did not eavesdrop on what they said.
She had other things to deal with; something was happening on Refugee Street.
The original refugee street has been almost repaired, and the refugees have been temporarily resettled.
In the past few days, Song Yu provided relief porridge and treated their illnesses.
Seeing their complexions gradually improving, and people now full and satisfied, they gradually became more thoughtful.
It’s not a bad thing to be thoughtful. It means that you have a goal in life instead of just eating and waiting to die.
But where there are good thoughts, there are also bad thoughts.
Although these refugees have all left their homes, they include men, women, young and old.
Song Yu originally asked the young and middle-aged men to help repair the house.
It's also a job, so I don't have to be a freeloader.
But not everyone can be grateful after accepting the kindness of others.
It is inevitable that there will be one or two people with bad intentions who cause trouble.
This matter is not complicated. Even if there is a ruffian, he will see that his life is getting better and he has no worries about food and clothing.
He then had thoughts that he shouldn't have had. A man who was originally a scoundrel wanted to bully a widow with a child.
In the middle of the night, he took advantage of the others sleeping and dragged them to a secluded place, intending to commit a crime.
The lady and children woke up in shock, which attracted other people to help.
The next day, those people reported the matter.
This matter should be handled by the government.
But they were refugees, and the government didn't care much about them, so Song Yu gave them a helping hand.
In turn, they also developed a sense of awe towards Song Yu.
After hearing this, Song Yu originally wanted to ask Qingque to look after it today, but now he had to go himself.
As soon as I got on the carriage, I saw Qingluo, who had not been seen for a long time.
Song Yu was surprised for a moment: "Hey, why are you here?"
Qingluo was lying on the seat at her side, and Song Yu had to sit beside me.
Qingluo glanced at her and said, "I heard something happened to those refugees. I have nothing to do, so I decided to go and see what's going on."
Song Yu listened to her gloating tone and asked, "Do you know what happened?"
Qingluo said, "No matter what happens, there will always be something exciting to watch."
Song Yu nodded and said, "If you want to see it so much, then let's go together."
The carriage soon reached its destination.
Song Yu got off the car first, followed closely by Qingluo.
Qingque arrived first, and it was she who sent a message to Song Yu, who then learned about this matter.
"Miss, the person has been taken into custody." Qingque said.
Song Yu nodded and asked, "Where is the victim?"
Qingque said, "The sister-in-law wasn't seriously injured, she was just quite frightened."
Song Yu said: "Take me to see her first."
Qingque nodded and took Song Yu over.
The originally dilapidated street was renovated after hundreds of people worked together, although it is not very beautiful.
But at least it can shelter from wind and rain.
Qingque took Song Yu into a room.
The room was not very big, it was a shop. Song Yu walked in and looked around. On the left, a woman was sitting in front of an octagonal table.
The woman looked to be in her early thirties and was wearing a coarse linen dress.
A very ordinary woman with a flat head and a clean face.
Standing beside her was a little girl of eight or nine years old, and behind her stood a woman in her forties or fifties, whispering something to her.
He seemed to be comforting her, occasionally patting her shoulder.
The little woman lowered her head and held the child tightly in her arms.
Song Yu walked over and the noise startled them.
As soon as the young woman saw Song Yu, she quickly stood up.
Song Yu walked up to her and said, "Do it."
The people opposite were a little uneasy. Song Yu said softly, "What are your names, sisters-in-law?"
The slightly older woman said, "My surname is Zou."
Song Yu greeted her, "Madam Zou."
He looked at the other person again, his eyes flashing slightly at the red marks on her face and the bloodstains on her neck.
"My name is Zhenniang." Zhenniang seems to have a soft personality.
Song Yu nodded and said, "I already know you two, and you should be familiar with me too. Song Yu, you can also call me Xiao Song."
"We dare not, we dare not." The two said with a little fear.
Song Yu said to Aunt Zou, "Sister-in-law, can you let me talk to Zhenniang alone?"
"Okay, okay." Aunt Zou knew that Song Yu was capable and that she should be able to solve this problem. After hearing what Song Yu said, she immediately turned around and left.
