The next day, Qi Zhen went out of the city alone. In the afternoon, he came back with a prototype of a stone mill.
After that, he trimmed and polished it again and installed a wooden handle, which was almost exactly the same as the stone grinder sold outside.
"Xiao Qi's hands are so skillful!" Zhang Lingzhi praised sincerely.
"My cousin has even made a medical kit as detailed as his own. His craftsmanship is very impressive." Xiaoyu also praised.
Bai Tian tried it and felt that he was very good at it. He gave Qi Zhen an appreciative look and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Qi. You did a great job!"
There was a smile on Qi Zhen's lips, "It's almost time, I'll go pick up Banxia."
"Let's go, let's go. It's still early for dinner. You take her for a walk and then come back. Otherwise, it would be too boring for her to just sit in the doctor's office." Bai Tian said.
"Okay." Qi Zhen agreed and went out.
Xiaocao whispered to her mother, "Dad, it's so weird. Two days ago, I blamed my brother for not coming back after picking up my sister for a long time. He said he always abducted my sister to play. Why is it different today?"
Zhang Lingzhi laughed and said, "Your father is in a good mood today."
Xiaocao tilted her head, "It seems that Dad likes the new stone mill very much."
On the other side, Qi Zhen picked up Bai Banxia and said with a smile: "Your father asked me to take you for a walk. Don't go home in a hurry."
"Oh?" Bai Banxia was a little surprised, "My father is so easy to talk to?"
"Perhaps the stone mill I made is very popular with him." Qi Zhen laughed and reached out to take her medicine kit.
The two of them walked towards the market and soon saw a juggler at the street corner. Today's performance was not to breathe fire or smash rocks on the chest, but to tie a rope to the trees on both sides of the street, and the rope was about ten meters above the ground.
Feet high, a woman performs walking and dancing.
People watching below kept cheering, but there were also timid ones who were afraid that she would fall and get hurt.
Bai Banxia whispered to Qi Zhen: "At this height, anyone who knows Qinggong will not be able to fall."
"She doesn't know how to do Qing Kung Fu," Qi Zhen said. "She just has some dancing skills and has practiced balance."
Bai Banxia was a little surprised. She thought the woman above was good at Qinggong, so it was really dangerous without a safety belt or anything like that.
But she wasn't too interested in juggling, so she pulled Qi Zhen and was about to leave.
Suddenly, a bird flew toward the woman overhead. The woman was startled by the bird and instantly lost her balance and fell from the rope.
"ah……"
There was a cry of exclamation from below. Seeing that a beautiful girl was about to fall and get hurt, everyone was sweating in their hearts.
Bai Banxia moved at the first reaction. As a doctor, she values life and does not want to see accidental injuries.
"Be careful!" Qi Zhen warned. He was afraid that his arm would be hit if she went to save others, so he simply grabbed the colorful strip next to him and threw it towards the fallen woman.
The colorful strips wrapped around the woman's waist, slowing down her fall. Then Bai Banxia hugged the woman and helped her stabilize her figure.
When the onlookers saw that the woman was safe, they applauded and cheered.
The woman was so frightened that her face turned pale. After calming down for a while, she finally came to her senses and hurriedly stood up and saluted the two of them, "Thank you, girl, for saving me."
Then she looked at Qi Zhen and clasped her fists towards Qi Zhen, "Thank you so much, sir, for saving me. I will never forget your kindness."
Qi Zhen threw down the colorful strip in his hand and ignored her thanks. He looked at Bai Banxia and said, "It's okay, let's go."
"Girl, it's better not to perform those high school acrobatics and pay more attention to safety." Bai Banxia reminded and turned to leave.
Unexpectedly, the woman chased after them, walked around in front of the two of them, and knelt on the ground with a plop.
"The kindness of saving lives should be repaid by a spring of water. I only want to be a slave and maid to repay the kindness of the two of you." The woman said and kowtowed.
Bai Banxia's foot was stunned. Isn't this too exaggerated? If he really fell from that height just now, it would only be a fracture, and it wouldn't be life-threatening, right?
It's just that she is soft-hearted and doesn't want to see the woman get hurt, but she also doesn't want to have someone repay her kindness.
"It's a small effort, it's not worth mentioning, you don't need to take it to heart." Bai Banxia said.
Unexpectedly, the woman refused to get up, kowtowed again, and said, "Miss is kind-hearted. I think it is just a random act, but it is a life-saving grace for this slave."
She raised her head and looked at Qi Zhen, "Master, please take in this slave. I will definitely repay your kindness by working as a cow and a horse!"
Bai Banxia's mouth twitched, and she thought of a saying that a hero must save a beauty by someone who is not good-looking, otherwise the beauty will chase the hero to repay the favor.
But Qi Zhen's face was already blackened, so what else could he do? Fortunately, Qi Zhen was very cautious and didn't help him directly, but just used the colored strips to pull him.
"It's only about ten feet high. Even if I don't save you, the most you can do is break your arms and legs, and you won't lose your life." Qi Zhen said coldly, "It was my cousin who was kind-hearted and wanted to save you, otherwise I wouldn't have done it at all.
Mind your own business, I just don’t want her to hurt her hand because of unrelated people.”
These words were spoken without mercy. The woman's face turned red, her head hung down, and her shoulders shook slightly, as if she was crying.
"I made a mistake, and my uncle will definitely beat me again. Please take me in, sir. I will serve you with all my heart and repay your kindness." The woman said while crying.
At this time, the people who had been watching before came to watch the fun. Some pointed and pointed, while others sympathized with the juggling woman.
"What are you talking about, you damn girl?" The juggling stall owner dropped the gong in his hand, came over with the gong stick and beat the girl, "You can't do a good performance, your wings are too stiff and you want to fly, but you don't even look.
See how much you eat from me, don’t even think about leaving without twenty taels of silver!"
The woman cried even more sadly, and looked at Qi Zhen while crying, which made Qi Zhen's brows knitted together, not to mention the disgust in her eyes.
"Let's go." Qi Zhen took Bai Banxia's hand and turned to leave.
The stall owner didn't want to do anything but blocked the way and asked with a provocative look: "Why don't you redeem her body? Are you reluctant to give up twenty taels of silver?"
"How to excite generals?" Bai Banxia raised his eyebrows, "We don't need slaves to work as cows and horses. You'd better bring your niece and perform well."
After she finished speaking, she slapped the stall owner away and strode away with Qi Zhen.
The woman behind was crying particularly miserably, like a resentful woman who had been abandoned by her husband.
"Since you saved me, why can't you be a good person and help others to the end? You lack nothing, why can't you pity me?"
Before Bai Banxia could go far, she was almost disgusted by these words.
She casually saved someone and saved the wrong person, and it was blamed on her for not being a good person to the end. It would be better to see her fall half to death, with her arms and legs broken.
With this kind of outlook, it's really not worth pitying.
"Did you expect it, so you didn't help me?" Bai Banxia asked Qi Zhen.
Qi Zhen raised his eyelids and said, "No, I just don't want to meet other women."
