Traveling through the busy farmland of a peasant girl

Chapter 109: Grateful

The carriage that Bai Jin was riding in sped all the way, and in just over half an hour, it stopped steadily at the door of Shen Li's house.

The bell on the shaft of the cart had not yet stopped ringing, and its crisp sound was particularly clear in the rain.

At this time, the sky was drizzling with rain, making the ground muddy and slippery.

Shen Yu happened to be in the next room. He heard the movement of the carriage and saw the familiar outline of the carriage through the crack in the door.

Without thinking, he pushed the door open and walked out without hesitation, completely ignoring the raindrops that instantly soaked his clothes, and the mud under his feet that made every step he took extremely difficult.

He walked quickly to the front of the white brocade carriage, and with a "thump", he knelt heavily on his knees, splashing mud and water, but he seemed not to notice it. He knocked his forehead straight to the ground, expressing his inner gratitude with the most sincere gesture.

Bai Jin was originally sitting in the carriage and was about to straighten his sleeves and get off when he was startled by the sudden noise.

He hurriedly lifted the car curtain and was shocked to see Shen Yu, who was soaked and covered in mud, kneeling in the rain.

He quickly stood up and got off the carriage. He took a few steps forward, stretched out his hands to help Shen Yu up, and said anxiously, "Shen Yu, what are you doing? Get up quickly!"

Shen Yu knelt stubbornly on the spot, raised his head, his eyes full of sincerity and gratitude, and said loudly: "Sir, if you hadn't generously donated money to treat my mother's illness, my mother would have collapsed long ago.

"Cat is here today to express my gratitude to you for your great kindness! Don't worry, I will return the money I earn in the future as soon as possible!"

His voice trembled slightly with excitement, and the rain slid down his cheeks, mixing with tears, making it difficult to tell one from the other.

Bai Jin used both hands to help Shen Yu up, patted his shoulder gently, and said softly, "It's just a small matter, not worth mentioning.

Now that you are here, all you need to do is serve the Lord well."

His eyes were filled with expectation and encouragement as he looked at the young man in front of him who was still grateful despite having gone through hardships.

Shen Yu quickly stood up straight and responded respectfully: "Yes! My lord, the young lady is also a kind-hearted person. It is my great honor to meet you two noble people." After speaking, he bowed slightly to show his respect.

As the two were talking, footsteps were heard from inside the door. Zhao Dashan, Lin, Liu Ruoxi and others filed out.

It turned out that Zhao Dali was leading everyone to repair the house, but they didn't expect it to rain suddenly. In desperation, they had to come down from the roof to take shelter temporarily.

Zhao Dali and Lin, along with their three children, hurriedly stopped and straightened their clothes upon seeing Bai Jin. Though their clothes were plain and stained with mud, their attitude was extremely respectful. They all bowed deeply to Bai Jin and said in unison, "Greetings, Your Excellency the County Magistrate!" Their voices were loud and clear, echoing in the rain.

Liu Ruoxi stood in the crowd. She had done a lot of rough work here recently, and her former gorgeous clothes had long been replaced with linen clothes and coarse cloth.

At this moment, when she saw Bai Jin's figure, a light flashed in her eyes.

She bowed slightly and saluted. When she stood up, perhaps because she was weak, or because the coolness of the rain made her feel a little uncomfortable, her body swayed slightly, like a willow in the wind, and she seemed to be about to fall towards Bai Jin.

Bai Jin was startled when he saw this and quickly took two steps back, saying, "No need to be so polite! I'm here to visit your lord, Shen Yu. Please go and inform him."

His eyes swept across everyone, finally landing on Shen Yu, with a hint of urgency in his words.

Liu Ruoxi squeezed the handkerchief in her hand tightly and retreated with the others.
