When Bai Chi woke up again, he saw neither his thatched cottage nor the guest room of the restaurant.

It was a relatively small room with the doors and windows open. The breeze brought coolness and a strong smell of herbs.

Just as I realized that this should be a clinic, a temporary place to accommodate seriously ill patients, I felt my body being pulled over and then bumped into a strong chest.

"That's great, Ah Chi, you finally woke up. If you don't wake up soon, I will have to take you to the county to find a doctor!"

Hu Yunxiao's frightened voice and his pounding heartbeat, strong and powerful, made him feel at ease.

"I told you his fever has gone, he's just not feeling well, so he's tired and sleepy, but you didn't believe me. Now he's awake. When are you going to fix the gate for me?"

The old voice was that of the old doctor from yesterday.

Bai Chi gently pushed Hu Yunxiao's chest and looked at the old doctor at the door embarrassedly.

"Thank you, doctor. I'm sorry to have made you laugh."

The old doctor came in with a bowl of medicine.

"It's my old man's responsibility to save the dying and heal the wounded. Your fever this time is a good thing. It has also triggered some hidden illnesses. I can prescribe the right medicine and take good care of your body."

Having said that, he looked at Bai Chi with some pity.

"You're lucky, kid. If this body belonged to someone else, they would have died long ago."

Bai Chi smiled shyly and didn't say much. He just took the bowl of medicine, found it was at the right temperature, and drank it without changing his expression.

It was very bitter, but after drinking a bowl of medicine, I felt like my body had regained some strength.

Of course, it could also be because I was too hungry.

Hu Yunxiao was extremely nervous. He patted the old doctor's back and wiped his mouth. He was so heartbroken when he heard what the old doctor said.

"Those people in Qinghe Village are too mean. They actually bullied an orphan like that. Ah Chi, why don't we live in the town and not go back? I can support you by hunting."

It is not uncommon to have a child with white hair in Qinghe Village. In fact, because he is so different, he has attracted attention from others since he was a child.

Fortunately, most people are just curious and have no malicious intentions. At most, they will just take a few more glances when they see him on the road, and listen a few more words when they hear about the white-haired boy.

But this also gave everyone a better understanding and sympathy for the experience of this white-haired boy.

This included but was not limited to the fact that the people of Qinghe Village said he was a monster and did not allow their children to play with him; their crops were often destroyed, and the chickens and ducks they raised would be caught by the villagers as soon as they ran away. Even the wild vegetables on the roadside could only be dug from far away.

After my grandmother passed away, the children in the village insulted and teased her, and blatantly stole things from her house. It wasn't even the first time the house burned down, but the fires had been put out in time several times before.

The original owner grew up struggling in the cracks under such oppression.

These were not said by Bai Chi, but were heard by Hu Yunxiao from other people.

This was just a rumor, but it made his heart ache when he heard it. He wanted to go back and beat up everyone in Qinghe Village!

Now all I want in my mind is to live a good life with Bai Chi in town, and I don’t want to go back to Qinghe Village at all!

However, Bai Chi shook his head and looked at Hu Yunxiao pleadingly.

"Brother Hu, my grandma is in Qinghe Village. I want to go back."

I couldn't even say no, I could only glare fiercely.

"Okay! If you want to go back, then go back. I want to see who dares to bully you again! I'll just skin him alive!"
