Chapter 384 The Hunter's Little Darling 45
Ma Erya's panicked look seemed genuine.
She was pulled from the shallows of the riverbank, soaking wet from head to toe. She was now wearing a man's jacket, but it couldn't hide the curves of her body as the clothes clung to her skin.
She must have hit a rock in the river while rushing down, because she now has a large, noticeable bump on her head that is swollen and bluish-purple, and looks quite frightening.
Upon closer inspection, there were also scratches on his arms and legs from the stones, indicating that he had suffered quite a bit.
She is not far from where she was swept downstream. She was probably lucky to be knocked unconscious and drifted to the shore with the current, landing next to the rocks. This prevented the people who initially thought she had been swept away from looking closely at this spot.
After saying this, Ma Erya rolled her eyes and fainted due to exhaustion.
Her fainting caused a commotion, and she was rushed to the nearest house.
There were no doctors on the mountain, only some older people went up to take a look, and guessed that the person had just fainted and was probably not seriously injured.
"Does she remember nothing at all...?" My cousin was the first to ask.
Although the night's experience was uneventful, it seemed to have matured this innocent girl considerably, and the childishness in her speech seemed to have disappeared a lot.
"It seems so," my cousin muttered.
He was running ahead just now, and Ma Erya clearly saw him, but she still asked them who they were, obviously because she didn't remember.
The person has been found, but the situation is perplexing.
Nobody has ever seen anything like this before. We've only heard stories of people hitting their heads and then not remembering anything.
However, they all listened to it as mere gossip; they would never see such a thing on their small mountain.
So much so that now nobody knows what to do.
Everyone worked hard all night, and the person has been found. Although there was a slight accident, it has nothing to do with them anymore.
Since Ma Erya was staying at Uncle Tu's house, she naturally had to act like the hostess and politely send these people back.
Aunt Tu was going to go back and boil eggs to deliver to each household as a way of thanking them for their help in searching for her all night.
Even if Butcher was unwilling, she still had to get things done on the surface first.
My cousin and younger cousin were both called away to run errands.
Sending people back home and delivering gifts kept them incredibly busy.
Old Lady Tu originally intended to put on airs and tell Tu Shen not to hold a grudge against Ma Er Ya, since she was young and had done some irrational things because she liked him.
If Tu Shen doesn't pursue the matter, it can be easily dismissed as a joke between Xie Qingyu, and no one will use it to smear her in the future.
But since Ma Erya hadn't woken up yet, they had no choice but to let her rest at this house for the time being.
Incidentally, this was the home of the young man who first discovered Ma Erya. He was in a hurry to get home and was the first to see it.
She was carried back home, and her family found her some clothes to change into.
The person has been found, but they've become like this.
Tu Shen's face was ashen, as if he had a lot of pent-up anger with nowhere to vent it.
"Let's go back first." Xie Qingyu's gaze shifted from the bed back to the bed.
Whether it's real amnesia or not, we'll know when she wakes up. Right now, she's dizzy, so whether she's really dizzy or not, we won't get any information out of her here.
The things Ma Erya brought up the mountain are still at Butcher's house. She'll go back eventually, so there's no point in waiting here.
Xie Qingyu was willing to join the search that night simply because it involved a human life, and the people on the mountain were kind and honest. Even though everyone was exhausted after a whole night, no one said they would give up the search.
Now that we've found her, all we can do is wait for her to wake up.
We'll talk about it later.
Tu Shen and Xie Qingyu also left. Fortunately, before leaving, Uncle Tu asked this family to look after them and that his cousin would come over to watch over them later.
Having not slept all night, most people just want to get some sleep when they get home.
No one expected that waking up would lead to such a grand spectacle.
When Xie Qingyu returned, Tu Shen forced her to go to bed.
I woke up in the afternoon.
Strangely, Tu Shen, who had fallen asleep with her, was not in bed. It wasn't until Xie Qingyu tidied up and left the room that she heard faint noises outside.
The closest house to theirs was that of Uncle Tu's family.
The reason it's so lively over there is clearly because of Ma Erya's matter.
Xie Qingyu has no problem seeing the road now; as long as she is careful with her steps, there will be no obstacles.
As she got closer, she could hear the sounds coming from the other side, which sounded like there were many people.
Xie Qingyu never expected that when she got closer, she would hear that Ma Erya was getting married.
..........
She just slept on one of the feet; can anyone tell her what happened?
When Xie Qingyu arrived, someone saw her. As one of the parties involved in yesterday's drowning incident and also a member of the Tu family, people immediately made way for her.
"You're awake." Tu Shen was the first to greet her, looking Xie Qingyu up and down to make sure she hadn't fallen when she came over.
He was probably too preoccupied with what was happening here to think clearly, and he forgot to ask his cousin to keep an eye on Xie Qingyu and bring her over when she woke up.
Xie Qingyu didn't think it was a big deal for her to come over; her attention was currently drawn to the person speaking in the middle.
"To be honest, it was really Shuanzi who meant well. When he found the person, he carried her up and even took off his clothes to cover her in front of so many people. It's normal to have contact when saving someone. Even though it tarnished the girl's reputation, he had no choice but to go to her door to ask for her hand in marriage."
The old woman who spoke was from the family where Ma Erya rested after she fainted, and Xie Qingyu could recognize her voice.
"Besides, this doesn't count as us taking advantage of her. The girl agreed to it, and she felt she was being watched..." The old woman lowered her voice, clearly indicating that it was something shameful.
"Anyway, that's how things are. To be honest, you're not this girl's proper parents or anything. If you're willing to leave, we'll follow our mountain customs and give you a betrothal gift. If you're not willing, we can just go down the mountain and ask around. I think the in-laws will agree."
Xie Qingyu understood; this meant he was going to marry Ma Erya.
It's not an overnight problem for men in the mountains to find wives.
There are only a dozen or so households on the mountain. Apart from a few families that are related, very few families can intermarry. In addition, it is even more difficult to find someone of similar age.
A daughter can still be married off to someone from down the mountain, which is considered a good match, but no one from down the mountain is willing to marry their daughter up here; otherwise, they have to spend a lot of money to buy her.
Therefore, it's not hard to understand why this situation has arisen.
However, Xie Qingyu keenly noticed that Ma Erya had agreed in her words.
