Chapter 6 - Your Secret
In the commoner's cave at the east of the city, a woman wrapped in a mat reeked of blood. Her hair was messy without any shine, and her pale face was covered with fine beads of sweat. Her lips were even paler.
There were even some busybodies who kicked twice, but did not react at all.
Not far away, a scholar wearing a green and white scholarly robe walked over from afar. As he walked, he looked around. If anyone covered the straw mat, they would have to go up and carefully look through it.
Because his behavior disturbed many of the people who went back to sleep and were unable to sleep soundly...
The woman lying on the mat felt like there was a shadow above her. Perhaps it was the morning sun, but she had some strength, or maybe it was the light coming back. She struggled to look up and saw a man of the color of wheat. He was handsome and had the shadow of a young general.
Bai Ze carefully lifted the straw mat and saw that the girl's butt and flesh had turned black.
Bai Ze's fingers trembled as she slowly helped the woman with a dirty face to stand up. The woman in the straw mat had a puzzled look in her eyes. She tried her best to open her mouth, but not a single syllable came out.
Bai Ze saw the birthmark on her neck. Looking at her face, Bai Ze recognized her.
"arachnoid... I... "I'm back." These words slowly drifted out of Bai Ze's mouth. Her voice was hoarse. This was also the reason why Bai Ze had never spoken loudly before. After eating the Intestine Breaking Grass that year, his throat was already burnt to ashes.
arachnoid's eyes widened as she looked at the man who was already kneeling and hugging her.
Bai Ze seemed to be enveloped in a layer of holy light in the eyes of the arachnoid.
The woman opened her mouth and finally said, "Ah …" "Ahh!" Bai Ze astonishingly found that the tongue in her mouth had disappeared.
From when he could still remember, Bai Ze had never shed tears.
Although the woman's body was dirty and still reeked of stench, Bai Ze didn't mind. She carried arachnoid out from the seat, and because she was worried about her pain, Bai Ze carried him on her back and left the slums step by step. As they walked, they said, "I should have returned earlier. I should have returned earlier …"
arachnoid weakly replied, "Ah …" She could no longer speak. Except for the simple syllables.
Upon arriving at hospital, Bai Ze exhausted all of her money in hopes that the doctor would save arachnoid. But the money needed to heal arachnoid was far from enough.
Bai Ze gave her remaining 10 taels to the doctor to buy medicine. If it was in the past, Bai Ze would definitely not hesitate at all.
Qiu Jinzhi, who was always beside hospital, suddenly moved closer to Bai Ze and asked: "Your family?"
had been alone for a long time, and today, Qiu Jinzhi finally had a chance to meet Bai Ze's family. However, it was different from what he had imagined.
Bai Ze nodded: "Mhm." After pausing for a long time, she saw that Qiu Jinzhi still had not left and continued to stand by her side.
Bai Ze looked at Qiu Jinzhi again, and Qiu Jinzhi looked at arachnoid carefully.
Bai Ze opened her mouth with much difficulty, "Can you lend me thirty silver?"
Qiu Jinzhi took out 50 taels of silver from his sleeve and said to Bai Ze: "I don't have any change on me, go back and borrow some."
Bai Ze took the silver and was about to leave, but Qiu Jinzhi followed him.
Bai Ze walked faster and faster. Qiu Jinzhi, who was behind, also ran even faster.
Bai Ze was a little angry: "Don't follow me anymore."
Qiu Jinzhi chased as he asked, "Are you going to hide her in the College? College's rules do not allow women to enter. "
Speaking up to here, Qiu Jinzhi took a deep breath, "I previously bought an empty courtyard. Do you want to go? "
Bai Ze stopped in her tracks all of a sudden, catching the running Qiu Jinzhi off guard and rushing past him.
Bai Ze looked at Qiu Jinzhi who was in front of him, and the haze in his eyes slowly started to dissipate. For the first time, he carefully asked: "Can I?"
Qiu Jinzhi tilted his head and laughed, he then displayed his pure white face and tried to stabilize his Qi: "Alright, let's go!"
On the way there, Qiu Jinzhi said to Bai Ze: "After we return the fifty taels, we will settle the score."
Bai Ze nodded his head: "I will do my best to give you the rental fee …" Bai Ze who had no money was always lacking in confidence.
"No need to return it!" My room was empty. " Qiu Jinzhi said.
After going to his residence and settling down the arachnoid, Bai Ze found a set of clean Clothes s and prepared to change into the set for arachnoid, but he was stopped by Qiu Jinzhi.
Bai Ze looked at Qiu Jinzhi suspiciously: "What are you doing?"
Qiu Jinzhi asked: "Then why are you bringing out the clothes?"
Qiu Jinzhi asked again: "Are you her husband?"
Bai Ze replied again, "No."
Qiu Jinzhi immediately stopped her, "Then you can't exchange for her. If you look at her, you'll have to marry her."
Bai Ze was so angry that she started laughing, "She is my sister, how can I have any feelings for her?"
However, Qiu Jinzhi was extremely serious, "Men and women shouldn't be too intimate with each other. Wait a moment, I'll go find a wife."
Bai Ze originally wanted to stop her, but then looked at her Clothes s and raised her eyebrows.
Sure enough, Qiu Jinzhi found a woman after a while.
The two people who were brewing medicine in the kitchen outside … Bai Ze watched as the medicine list was boiled according to the instructions written by the doctors. She found a small horse to sit beside the medicine jar and waited for the medicine to open.
Qiu Jinzhi found a rattan chair from somewhere and forced it into the kitchen, which wasn't too big. At least it was convenient for him to go in and out.
Bai Ze glanced at Qiu Jinzhi who was seated on a rattan chair. "Why have you been following me? My promissory note has been written to you. "
Qiu Jinzhi waved his hand, "No, I'm just thinking about you … "You should be from a martial arts family. Did something happen in your family?"
Bai Ze explained expressionlessly: "No, my home is very ordinary."
"Impossible!" Qiu Jinzhi rejected with one word.
Bai Ze denied: "My parents are very normal. They are all commoners. " Bai Ze did not dare to look at Qiu Jinzhi as she kept staring at the flames beneath the medicine pot.
Qiu Jinzhi held up the Dragon Well in his hands, extended his index finger and shook it left and right: "Something's not right! That's not right! He was poor in literature and was rich in martial arts. You are both civil and military. You may be the son of an escort! Right? "Today, that arachnoid is your sister, and your sister also knows martial arts. This means that your family should have some sort of relationship with martial arts, or …"
Qiu Jinzhi looked at the man sitting on the horse. "Either you truly worship the general, or …" Qiu Jinzhi did not speak further.
Bai Ze raised her eyes and asked sharply, "What do you want?" This time, Bai Ze and Qiu Jinzhi's eyes met for the first time, giving Qiu Jinzhi a huge shock.
