Chapter 186: Leaving the Village
"Miss Ji, don't worry, I will remember your words and adjust myself well, and I won't be so lost again."
After listening to Ji Qingnian's consolation, Bai Ling had become much calmer. She might have thought about her feelings and her future life.
"That's good, Miss Bai, you are a good girl, I wish you happiness."
Ji Qingnian sincerely wished Bai Ling, but of course she didn't want Mingyin to feel guilty when he met Bai Ling. Ji Qingnian wanted Mingyin to be the only one in his heart.
"Thank you, Miss Ji, and I hope you and Brother Mingyin can live a happy life." She likes Mingyin very much, but she knows that Mingyin doesn't like her. In Mingyin's heart, Ji Qingnian can't be replaced by anyone.
Bai Ling was very grateful to Ji Qingnian for her concern and persuasion. Since childhood, her grandfather was busy with the affairs of Baiyi Village and drug production. Although Uncle Bai was very concerned about him, he could not tell him his daughter's concerns, so he could only hide these things in his heart alone. Ji Qingnian comforted himself like an elder sister, and Bai Ling was really grateful to her.
"Miss Bai, can I call you sister? To be honest, I really want to have a simple and kind sister like you."
Ji Qingnian really likes Bai Ling, especially because she didn't try her best to make Mingyin accept her. You must know that she could threaten Mingyin with her life-saving kindness.
"Yes, I really want to have a sister like you, Sister A Nian, just call me Ling'er."
Bai Ling is very happy to have a sister like Ji Qingnian. She is understanding and reasonable. Anyone will like such a woman.
"Ling'er, can I ask you something?"
Ji Qingnian saw that Bai Ling had improved a lot, and it seemed that she had figured it out. Now she wanted to ask Bai Ling what she couldn't understand.
"Yes, Sister A Nian, just ask whatever you want, I will definitely tell you everything."
Ji Qingnian took a sip of tea and wanted to have a good talk with Bai Ling.
"I once met a girl named Wu Jingshu on the road. In order to save her husband's life, she used her own blood to change her medicine, and finally almost died of blood."
Ji Qingnian remembered Wu Jingshu's despair at that time and sighed a few times. Since ancient times, a woman who is infatuated has been unfaithful, and a woman who is infatuated is pitiful. If this infatuation is not cherished, it would be so sad.
"Then this girl Wu is so pitiful. Where is her husband? Do you just bear it so much?"
Bai Ling stood up for Wu Jingshu's situation. Did the girl's husband be so cruel and bear to watch his wife give her life for her?
"He didn't know at first that Jingshu had paid so much for him, and he had his beloved girl, so he was always bad to Jingshu. Later, after learning the truth, he felt guilty, but that would be useless. Jingshu's heart was already hurt. She died of her husband, and the two had separated."
Ji Qingnian was also very sad when she remembered this relationship. As a bystander, she had seen Jingshu's despair and Wei Shuming's regret. In the end, she could not escape the teasing of fate. The two of them were still forgotten in the world. I wonder how Jingshu is now?
"That's right. I hope this girl Wu can come out and face her future life well."
Bai Ling sympathized with the experience of this girl Wu, but she didn't quite understand why Ji Qingnian told her about this.
"Look at me, I got off the topic as I talked. What I want to ask is that Jingshu was born in the Yin year and the Yin month. The doctor who asked her to have her blood at that time took a fancy to her and asked her to give him blood every month after she was eighteen years old to exchange for her husband's medicine, Ling'er, have you ever seen the prescription for the elixir of your white-clothed tribe's elixir?"
This is what Ji Qingnian didn't understand. Although the doctor might be refining other medicines, it just happened that this medicine was included in the prescription, she still found it very strange.
"Really? Such a strange medicine can appear in other prescriptions. Sister A Nian, the elixir of immortality in our White Clothing Clan is a holy object of the White Clothing Clan. Since ancient times, only the clan leader can contact it. I have never seen it before. I don't think anyone else has seen it."
Although Bai Ling is the granddaughter of the old patriarch, sacred objects are sacred and inviolable, so naturally they cannot be shown to others at will. Therefore, Bai Ling feels that the person’s refining is definitely not the elixir of immortality.
"What if? What if someone secretly looks at it? Ling'er, you are still young and may not know some things. Can you take me to find the old patriarch?"
Ji Qingnian still believed in her intuition. She thought this was very strange. The woman's sixth sense told her that there must be any connection.
"Okay, Sister A Nian, I'll take you to find grandpa now."
Bai Ling took Ji Qingnian to the old patriarch's room. He was studying new poison. Seeing that Ji Qingnian was coming, he was very happy and wanted her to see his achievements.
"Old patriarch, I want to take the liberty to ask you something, is that OK?"
Ji Qingnian is not interested in looking at the old patriarch's new poison now. She just wants to know what happened to this matter.
"Oh? If you have something to ask me, you can ask."
The old patriarch didn't know what Ji Qing had done over the years, but seeing that she was a little anxious, it seemed that she was worried about something.
"I have a friend who was born in the Yin year and the Yin month. A doctor asked her blood to refine medicine after she was eighteen years old. The old patriarch, will this doctor have anything to do with Baiyi Village?"
Ji Qingnian has always had such doubts, so she asked directly now.
"It is related to Baiyi Village? How is it possible? People in Baiyi Village cannot leave the village."
The old patriarch thought this was a bit ridiculous. No one in Baiyi Village had left the village in recent years, not to mention that the villagers had never seen the prescription for the elixir of immortality.
"Then no one else has seen the prescription?"
Seeing that there was no result in this regard, Ji Qingnian changed his mind and started with the prescription.
"Only the patriarch of Baiyi Village has seen the prescription, and you have seen it."
The old patriarch always preserved the prescription very well, and there was no trace of being touched by anyone, so the old patriarch thought this was a coincidence.
"Isn't there really?"
Ji Qingnian lowered her head and thought for a while but still felt something was wrong. The three of them were silent, each with their own thoughts.
"Grandpa, maybe someone has seen it."
At this time, Bai Ling suddenly said something, and she remembered something, but she didn't want to mention it.
"who?"
The old patriarch narrowed his eyes. He wanted to know who was so bold that he actually read the prescription without authorization.
"That person."
Bai Ling did not specify clearly. She knew that her grandfather would get angry when she mentioned him, so she never dared to mention that person in front of her grandfather, but she felt that her grandfather could understand what she meant.
"You mean your father?"
When the old patriarch thinks of his rebellious son, he will be very depressed. This son is a stain on his life. Now when Ling'er says this, he seems to have done something even more rebellious.
"Well, I once heard Uncle Baimu say that my father had seen the prescription for the elixir of immortality privately, and he also showed it to Uncle Baimu."
Bai Ling actually doesn't want to admit that he has such a father. He just abandoned himself since he was a child, but he still did such a thing.
"Ling'er, go and call Bai Mulai."
The old patriarch wanted to ask clearly that this matter was also a major event in Baiyi Village, so he had to find out clearly.
"good."
Bai Ling went out and called Uncle Baimu in a while. She looked at Ji Qingnian, and Ji Qingnian returned a soothing look. She knew that Bai Ling must be very uncomfortable now, after all, she was her own father.
"Bai Mu, tell me honestly, did that stranger peek at the holy object?"
The old patriarch suppressed his anger and asked Bai Mu, who nodded.
"Yes, Brother Xiwen has indeed seen the prescription, and he also told me that the holy objects are the prescriptions for immortality. I told Bai Ling later."
Bai Mu didn't expect that this matter would be exposed. Bai Xiwen, also known as Bai Ling's father, secretly looked at the holy objects because of curiosity, and then said it while drinking with him. After sobering up, Bai Xiwen seemed to have forgotten about this matter. He felt that this matter was of great importance. At the same time, he was afraid that the old patriarch would blame Bai Xiwen, so he concealed the matter. When Bai Ling grew up, he told her inadvertently.
"It's just a mess. Why didn't you say it earlier? That rebellious son actually peeked at the prescription privately. It's really unforgivable!"
The old patriarch's voice was loud. His own son betrayed Baiyi Village, and now he has peeked at the prescription. What kind of face does he have to meet the ancestors and past patriarchs of Baiyi Village?
"Grandpa, don't be angry, take care of yourself."
Seeing that his grandfather was so angry that he couldn't stand firmly, Bai Ling hurriedly helped him. After all, his grandfather was already very old and could no longer be stimulated like this.
"Yes, old patriarch, you have to take care of yourself. Baiyi Murakami is still counting on you. If this is true, then that doctor is likely to be Ling'er's father. What happened to him back then?"
Ji Qingnian continued her guess. She didn't expect to reveal the secrets like Baiyi Village. She also felt sorry, but some things were more important at this time.
"At that time, the rebellious son secretly learned about the medicine and left the village privately, but was caught by the people from the court outside. As a result, Baiyi Village was besieged by the people from the court, and the village was almost destroyed. After that, there was no news."
Sometimes the old patriarch would also wonder how this rebellious son is still alive or not. If he is there, where he went, if he is not there, where he is buried? As a parent, is he still not cruel to his children.
"Old patriarch, I remember you said that the blood used by the elixir of immortality must be from the same woman, right?"
Ji Qingnian was mainly worried about this matter, and she was worried that the perverted doctor would go to Jingshu again.
"Yes, that's what the prescription says, Miss Ji, are you worried about your friend?"
The old patriarch understood Ji Qingnian's meaning a little. She should be worried about the safety of her friends.
"Yes, it seems we are going to leave Baiyi Village right away."
