"All the money has been spent, but my eldest brother still has some, take it if you want." The tall man said with his eyes rolling around.
It could be seen that the tall man was not telling the truth. While Bai Ling was rummaging through the two of them for money, he asked casually:
"Hey, what are you two doing? Abducting and selling women and children, or murdering people and selling goods? Looking at how cowardly you two are, you're probably just a thieves at best, right?"
"Who said that? There's nothing we brothers can't do! As long as the money is in place, we can kidnap and sell even the prefect's daughter!" the tall man immediately retorted.
Bai Ling squinted his eyes to hide the fierceness in his eyes, and raised a disdainful smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Stop bragging. You two can be kidnapped at home. What big thing can you two do? How can a capable person live in this shabby place? What a liar!" Bai Ling sneered.
"Eldest brother said that wealth should not be leaked to others! How can we two brothers do dozens of cases every year and sell a girl in three or two days without any shortage of money!" The tall man was aroused and said immediately.
"You're talking big words and doing such big things. If you don't have a backer, something would have happened a long time ago. Damn!" Bai Ling sent the money into the space and pouted at the tall man.
"Who said we don't have a backer? Behind us is the prefect's subordinate..." Before the tall man could finish his words, he finally noticed that the short man was shaking his head at him and quickly stopped.
After finishing the conversation, Bai Ling knew that there was no point in asking any more questions and had no intention of wasting time.
"You two are full of evildoers. If the government doesn't arrest you, I will sentence you to death." Bai Ling said coldly.
"You want to do it..." Before the tall man could finish his words, Bai Ling gagged him in his mouth.
"When you have harmed so many people, you should know the consequences of karma. I am here to eliminate harm for the people!" Bai Ling took out a dagger and directly cut the tall man's hand tendon.
Ignoring the tall man's writhing pain, Bai Ling came to the short man's side and did the same thing.
Glancing at the two of them coldly, Bai Ling went to their bedroom and ransacked it before leaving.
As for the fate of these two people, Bai Ling will no longer pay attention. They are lucky to be alive.
By the time Bai Ling returned to the inn, Miaoxuan had already woken up.
"Thank you girl for saving my life!" Miao Xuan forced herself to sit up and saluted Bai Ling.
"Girls don't need to be polite, it's just a little effort."
Bai Ling stepped forward to support the person and told Bai Shao:
"Go to the shopkeeper's office and ask the waiter to help deliver the things to your room. Ask for some side dishes and cook some porridge and bring them to you. I bought too many things and forgot to bring you something delicious."
"It doesn't matter what you have to eat, slave. The girl must be tired. I will ask someone to prepare a bucket of hot water..."
Bai Shao said, remembering that there was Miaoxuan who could not see the light, and asked:
"Girl, do you want to go to the slave room to take a bath?"
"No, it's inconvenient to go out. Just wipe it with hot water. If you want to take a bath, just ask the waiter to prepare it." Bai Ling said nonchalantly.
After dismissing Bai Shao, Bai Ling looked at Miaoxuan, who was still very weak, and recounted the details of how she rescued her.
"Those two thieves have already paid the price. If you still want to take revenge, I will keep this money for you."
Bai Ling took out a bag of silver that he found from Mao Thief and placed it next to Miao Xuan.
"I can heal your face, and you can think about how to live your life in the future. After all, you only live once."
Miaoxuan's condition was very bad, but Bai Ling gave her so many space medicines and a lot of spiritual spring water, and the condition on her face was actually suppressed. This was a good start.
Miaoxuan looked down at Yinzi and remained silent.
Bai Ling didn't rush her, got up and went to Bai Shao's house to help her gather the things she had just bought.
After the child brought the food, Bai Ling returned to her room to eat, while Miao Xuan sipped the soft white rice porridge.
After Bai Shao went out with the bowls and chopsticks, Miao Xuan asked: "My benefactor is not an ordinary girl. I wonder if Bai Ling can ask her what she does?"
Bai Ling was stunned for a moment. Although he didn't understand Miaoxuan's intention, he still smiled and said: "Do some small business in the town."
Miaoxuan was a little surprised. After all, Bai Ling's clothes didn't look like she came from a small place. But seeing that Bai Ling didn't wear any jewelry, she believed what she said.
"But the benefactor will take care of it himself?" Miaoxuan asked again.
"The whole family is involved," Bai Ling replied.
"Has your benefactor ever thought about bringing the business to Fucheng, or even further afield?" Miao Xuan asked again.
Bellington paused, nodded slightly and said, "I will do it in the future, but not for the time being."
"Miao Xuan cannot repay the benefactor's life-saving grace, but is willing to open a way for the benefactor here in Fucheng."
Miaoxuan stood up, knelt on the bed, and kowtowed heavily to Bai Ling.
When Bai Ling was about to help the person up, Miaoxuan raised her hand and swore:
"Miao Xuan swears on her life and the soul of her dead mother that she will follow her benefactor in this life and repay the benefactor's life-saving work by holding a grass knot in her hand. If she disobeys her, she will not die a good death, and her dead mother will not recognize me under Jiuquan!"
The ancients valued oaths, and Miaoxuan's eyes were sincere, so Bai Ling believed her words.
"I saved you, and I never thought about asking you to repay me." Bai Ling was a little embarrassed. Could it be said that she just followed him because she wanted to watch the fun?
"No matter what, it is a fact that my benefactor saved me." Miaoxuan shook her head.
Feeling very weak, Miaoxuan leaned on the bed, hatred gradually gathering in her eyes.
"I am just a weak woman, and the only weapon I have is a good skin. If my benefactor can really heal my face, I will have the opportunity to repay my benefactor's kindness and avenge myself."
Originally he wanted to persuade Miaoxuan, but after seeing the hatred in her eyes, Bai Ling chose to remain silent.
After all, she once lived in a brothel. Unless Miaoxuan meets beautiful love or her hatred disappears, she will not be able to get out of that fiery pit.
Moreover, Miaoxuan's words also moved Bai Ling.
"It's not convenient to live in an inn after all. I will rent a house for you tomorrow. After your injury is healed, you can make your own decision about what you want to do." Looking at Miaoxuan, Bai Ling couldn't help feeling regretful.
The next day, Bai Ling went out early in the morning, rented a private house, bought a smart girl, and used the space to take Miao Xuan out.
After leaving several bottles of spiritual spring water, various pills, and enough money, Bai Ling prepared to leave.
"I don't know how to contact my benefactor?" Miaoxuan wore a scarf to cover her injured face.
"In a month, I will come to Fucheng again. I will come to see you then, and I will stay or leave as you wish." Bai Ling gave the girl's deed of betrayal to Miao Xuan, then turned and left.
On the way back, naturally I found the escort agency again, but this time it was a coincidence that there happened to be a caravan going to Baifu County, so Bai Ling's master and servant did not need to wait any longer.
When leaving Fucheng, Bai Ling lifted the car curtain and looked at the heavy city gate, sighing silently.
Compared with the petty calculations of country people, the bigger the city, the more terrifying the fights are, and human life seems to be worth less than a piece of grass.
According to the agreement, Bai Ling had to go to the county magistrate's house. It was not convenient to carry so many things, so he asked Bai Shao to rent a carriage and go back to the countryside.
"The old lady is in good health. I will continue to maintain it according to what is written on the list. The only thing is not to rush into exercise." After diagnosing the old lady's pulse, Bai Ling did not prescribe any new medicine.
"Miss Bai, I wonder if you can keep some more of the bottle of potion you left last time?" Although Mrs. Ouyang asked, her tone was not that.
Bai Ling hesitated for a moment, then took out another bottle of spiritual spring water.
"Although nutrient solution is a good thing, it is not suitable for long-term use, otherwise it will become a dependence, and it will be counterproductive. The old lady's condition is very good. From now on, she can take it seven days a month, and once a day is enough." Bai Ling instructed.
road.
It's not that Bai Ling is reluctant to part with the spiritual spring water, but that he doesn't want to expose his secret.
Taking Lingquan water for a long time is certainly beneficial to the body, but the effect is too obvious and it is a hidden danger for Bai Ling.
"It is an essence extracted from many animals and plants. It can supplement nutrients that cannot be absorbed from food. But after all, it is a forced supplement. Over time, it will hinder normal absorption. As the saying goes, people are like iron rice or steel. Adjust the diet structure,
That’s the best way to regulate your body.”
Bai Ling said half truthfully.
Mrs. Ouyang nodded clearly, quickly put away the nutrient solution, looked at the old lady and said cautiously:
"Mother, my daughter-in-law will keep this bottle of nutrient solution first. From now on, on those days of each month, my daughter-in-law will personally give it to you to prevent the maid from overdoing it."
"Well, you are the safest thing to do." The old lady nodded and glanced at her confidant.
Not long after, the old woman came over with two boxes, opened them one by one and placed them in front of Bai Ling.
The top-grade pearls and top-grade jade were just presented in front of Bai Ling's eyes.
"I heard from Zhiyuan that Miss Bai is looking for these things, so I asked someone to prepare some as a token of my gratitude."
When the old lady saw Bai Ling, her eyes lit up, but she didn't look greedy, and her voice became a little more friendly.
Before Bai Ling could speak, Mrs. Ouyang said with a smile: "With these treasures prepared by the mother, the ones prepared by the daughter-in-law will not be available."
With that said, the nanny next to Mrs. Ouyang also held a box and sent it to Bai Ling.
Mrs. Ouyang prepared a box full of pearls, but they were smaller than the old lady's pearls, but they were round in color and about the same size, and they were also of high quality.
"Bai Ling deserves it, but the family needs these things. Bai Ling can only accept it with a smile." Bai Ling stood up, bowed in the direction of the old lady, and saluted Mrs. Ouyang.
Although Lingquan water is the only one in the world, people in the world don't know how precious Lingquan water is. These gifts are indeed valuable when used for medical expenses.
However, Bai Ling also understood what the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law meant. On the one hand, they really wanted to express their gratitude, and on the other hand, they wanted to win over each other.
"You have excellent medical skills and cured my mother's body. You deserve these rewards." Mrs. Ouyang gave her a virtual support.
After a few more pleasantries, Bai Ling said goodbye, and naturally there was a maid to see him off.
When Bai Ling came this time, he didn't see Ouyang Xun, but he didn't ask if Ouyang Xun was talking.
"What do you think of this girl?" After Bai Ling left, the old lady looked at Mrs. Ouyang and asked.
"Zhiyuan has entered Beijing and will achieve great things in the future. His status will be different from what it is now. Even if this girl becomes a concubine, she is afraid that her status will be low." Mrs. Ouyang said frankly.
The old lady lowered her eyes, raised her hand and said, "I'm tired. You still have things to take care of, so you don't need to stay here with me."
"Yes, mother." Mrs. Ouyang stood up and saluted. Before going out, she looked back at the old lady and frowned.
Bai Ling, who was on her way home, didn't know that Mrs. Ouyang was belittling her, otherwise she would have gone back the same way, threw the box of pearls in Mrs. Ouyang's face, and shouted:
‘You are not worthy of being a concubine, your whole family is destined to be a concubine! I, Bai Ling, will recruit a son-in-law in the future, so who is your son?’ (To be continued)
