Be With You Episode 4 Recap
> Be With You Recap
Meng Sanxi wanted to enter the boutique store to buy a top-quality tent. The doorkeeper looked down on him, but Meng Sanxi directly pulled out a handful of silver bills, silencing the doorkeeper and allowing him to enter the store. Inside, he met the beautiful Gu Nianjiu, confirming that Bei Xiaohai had not lied to him; the girls here were indeed stunning. Meng Sanxi confidently purchased an outrageously expensive tent, and when Gu Nianjiu suggested he look at other items, he couldn't help but feel elated.
Yan Sifang, on the other hand, spent a large sum of silver to buy a new outfit, but he was recognized by a steward before he could leave the city. Yan Sifang was puzzled because he barely recognized himself in his new attire, and he wondered how the steward saw through his disguise. The steward bluntly pointed out that Yan Sifang's shoes were different, making Yan Sifang deeply regret not thinking it through. The steward then revealed that he had seen through Yan Sifang's plan: to leave through the city gate, mount a fast horse, and escape. He advised Yan Sifang that he also had a horse and that Yan Sifang's plan was futile. He couldn't outrun them, especially considering the people waiting at the city gate. The steward's sole intention was to find Ye Wuzhi, believing Yan Sifang to be her nephew.
While Meng Sanxi was pulling a cart of vegetables on the street, he was followed by the steward's people. Meng Sanxi handed the man a silver note, trying to make him ignore him, but the man misunderstood and claimed he followed unattended carts out of curiosity. Unable to get rid of him, Meng Sanxi climbed onto the cart himself, forcing the man to pull it.
Ye Wuzhi finally found someone from the house agency and inquired about clues related to the Three-Seven Society. She learned that all the clues in Muyun City, whether hidden or not, were controlled, and buying information would cost fifty taels upfront, with another hundred taels payable upon success. However, with her meager monthly income of only two taels, she couldn't afford it. Before she could secure lodgings, she was found by someone. She considered drawing her sword to subdue them, but she couldn't do so in Muyun City without breaking the law. She listened to reason and sheathed her sword, quickly running away. Her pursuer chased her through several streets. When they reached a place where exams were being held, Ye Wuzhi took refuge, as it was guarded by yamen officials who wouldn't tolerate disturbances. Her pursuers were stopped, and Ye Wuzhi felt victorious. However, Yan Sifang and the steward blocked her path on the way out. Soon after, Meng Sanxi arrived with his vegetable cart. The three of them had separated for only a short time and found themselves back together again, marveling at the strange twists of fate. Meng Sanxi took out three radishes, giving one to each of them, as a makeshift meal. However, he realized the radishes were incredibly spicy and quickly spit out his bite, amusing Yan Sifang and Ye Wuzhi.
In the evening, Yan Sifang, Meng Sanxi, and Ye Wuzhi gathered around a fire to cook. The aroma of the food made the pursuers, who could only eat dry bread, even hungrier. Suddenly, thick smoke billowed from the stove, and Meng Sanxi shouted that there was a fire. Taking advantage of the chaos, Yan Sifang, Ye Wuzhi, and Meng Sanxi escaped. Yan Sifang was responsible for pushing the vegetable cart, while Meng Sanxi threw vegetables to leave a trail for the assassins to follow. Yan Sifang's original plan was to escape to Mufeng City with a horse-drawn carriage containing the tent. Afterward, he would send the carriage on its way to another city while they discreetly returned to Muyun City. This plan would divert the assassins' attention, making them think the three had left the city entirely. Three-Seven Society members sent to protect Meng Sanxi and hinder his actions discovered this plan but were willing to help execute it in exchange for payment. Meng Sanxi quickly handed over all his silver notes to make them believe he had no more money hidden.
Yan Sifang's purpose in coming to Muyun City was to find the swindler who had deceived the village chief. Reflecting on his childhood in the village, Yan Sifang's emotions were complex. He regretted the tragic consequences of the village chief's decision to keep the younger generation from leaving, which led to them getting married and having children early. He thought that by keeping the parents tied to the village, they wouldn't have abandoned their children.
