C82 Sneaking Around

When the carriage reached the Lingshan Town, Xia Yi led Jin Tao out of the carriage.

"Thank you for bringing me back." Xia Yi bade farewell to Wei Chu and was about to leave.

Unexpectedly, Wei Chu was still driving the carriage and slowly following behind.

"Wei Chu, you don't need to follow us." Xia Yi stopped and said to Wei Chu.

Wei Chu answered: "Young Noble ordered, send young lady back to Zhongling Village."

"I still have some things to do at Lingshan Town, and will be back later. Go and busy yourself then, your young master is not at Lingshan Town, and will not know about it." Xia Yi said.

Wei Chu continued: "Young Master has instructed me to send young lady back to the Zhongling Village."

"Eh, it's a stubborn one."

With Wei Chu's reply, Xia Yi knew that she had to say something else. She might get the same answer, so she didn't say anything else and just let Wei Chu follow.

Xia Yi brought Jin Tao to the medicine hall.

Jin Tao stood at the entrance of the infirmary and was not willing to enter, "I am already very satisfied that the lady is willing to take me in, how can I let the lady spend the money again?"

Xia Yi said: "Your injuries are so serious, how can you work for me?"

After saying that, he took a big step and crossed the threshold of the infirmary.

Jin Tao was startled, but quickly followed.

Jin Tao's injuries were too serious, the doctor not only took some medicine, but she also took a few of them to help quickly dissipate the silt.

Wei Chu escorted Xia Yi and the other two out of the village in Zhongling Village before he left.

Xia Yi supported Jin Tao and went home, but before they reached home, they saw Mao Cuilan and Xia Erfu's daughter Xia Xuejiao sneaking around outside their own courtyard, sticking close to the door and peeking inside.

Xia Yi had already walked behind Xia Xuejiao, but she still did not notice him.

Xia Yi stood behind her and did not make a sound.

Jin Tao didn't know what was happening, so she naturally didn't dare to make a sound.

Xia Xuejiao had already been watching from behind the door for a long time. Xia Yang and Xia Yue sat at the stone table in the courtyard, their heads lowered as if they were reading a book.

She turned to leave, only to discover that there were two people behind her.

Ah!" She cried out in fear, and when she saw that it was Xia Yi, she called out somewhat frantically, "Xia … Sister Xia Yi...

"What are you doing here?" Xia Yi asked coldly.

Xia Xuejiao held onto her finger and stayed silent for a long while, before she said in a low voice, "Come … Come and play with Yue Yue. "

Seeing Xia Xuejiao's guilty look, Xia Yi knew that it was definitely not that simple, and said: Why not go in?

"I... "I …" Xia Xuejiao was, after all, still a child.

"Since you are looking for your younger brother and sister to play, then go in." Xia Yi pushed Xia Xuejiao's back with one hand and pushed open the gate with the other.

Xia Yang had not been reading properly in the first place, but when he heard a sound coming from outside the courtyard, he immediately put down his brush and looked towards the entrance, "Big sister is back!"

Xia Yue immediately turned to look at the entrance.

Xia Yang used a piece of paper and jumped in front of Xia Yi, "Big sister, today Yang is very obedient, look!"

"En, Yang is awesome." Xia Yi said, after that she glanced at Xia Xuejiao and said to Xia Yang: "Bring Big Sister Xuejiao and go play, Big Sister and Peach Blossom still have some matters to attend to."

"Yes." Xia Yang looked at Xia Xuejiao. He was not really close to Xia Xuejiao, and when Xia Xuejiao had anything delicious to eat in the past, he never thought about giving it to them excessively and let them watch.

He didn't even like this sister a bit.

But since it was Xia Yi who spoke, Xia Yang still listened obediently, "Sister Xuejiao."

Xia Xuejiao followed Xia Yang to the front of the stone table and sat down.

Looking at the table full of books and papers, he asked, "What are you all doing?"

"We're writing." Xia Yang said, after he finished speaking, he proudly showed the few large words he had written to Xia Xuejiao.

Although Xia Yang's words were ugly to the point that she could barely recognize them, Xia Xuejiao still had a face full of envy.

Hearing the little friend in the village say that not only did Xia Yang and Xia Yue know how to read, they even knew math. Originally, she did not believe it, but now that the truth was right in front of her, she could not help but believe it.

The words on Xia Yang's paper were the simplest, but Xia Xuejiao was still unable to recognize a single word.

Seeing that Xia Yang and Xia Xuejiao were getting along quite well, Xia Yi led Jin Tao into the house.

After locking the door, Xia Yi turned to Jin Tao and said: "Take off your clothes, I will help you apply the medicine."

Jin Tao was a little shy. She crossed her arms over her chest and repeatedly shook her head. I can do it myself. "

"What about on his back?" Xia Yi laughed, "You carry her, I will only help you wipe your back, you can do the rest by yourself."

Jin Tao slowly took off her clothes.

Seeing the injuries on Jin Tao's back, Xia Yi finally understood. So it wasn't because Jin Tao was shy, but because the injuries on her back were really too severe. Some of the skin and flesh had already been turned out and were bleeding profusely.

The only issue was that he was still wearing his clothes underneath the large robes, and the blood that seeped out from his wounds had already solidified, not touching the outer robes at all.

From the beginning till now, Jin Tao had never cried out for pain, this girl was also very stubborn.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been beaten to such a state by the brothels. He didn't even think of giving in.

Xia Yi's heart could not help but ache, and she said to Jin Tao: "Endure it, the medicine you applied might be a little painful."

"Yes." Jin Tao could only dejectedly answer.

When he applied the medicine on Jin Tao, it was already light enough, but he could still hear the sound of Jin Tao unable to endure the pain, which showed how much it was painful. Jin Tao was only able to endure it with all her might, and other than a few muffled groans, she didn't make any other sounds.

Finally good medicine had been applied, and the sweat on Xia Yi's forehead was even more numerous than Jin Tao's.

Jin Tao grinned, and pulled out an ugly smile to comfort Xia Yi: "Don't worry Miss, I'm really alright. "In the past, even if my dad lost the bet, he would still hit me. After that, I still have to get up to prepare some food for him. This little injury really isn't much to me."

When Jin Tao said these things, her face was completely calm, as if she was already numb to such a thing.

Xia Yi did not comfort her, and only said: "Take a good rest. Since you came back with me, throw it over, and live a good life."
