Chapter 5

Su Wanxing squatted down next to another person, and used her hand to lift his tangled hair to examine him carefully.

It's so dirty, how could a ghost possibly tell what it looks like?

Do you have family?

The man shook his head.

"Okay, from now on, you belong to me, Su Wanxing. Is that alright?"

The man nodded.

"May I have your name?"

The man shook his head.

"Since I bought you for nineteen coins, shall we call you Nineteen for now?"

The man nodded.

Why do you keep nodding and shaking your head? Can't you speak properly?

"meeting"

The boy's voice came through.

"The room next door is empty, why don't you grab something to eat, take a shower, and move in there?"

"no"

"Why?"

"A slave is not worthy to live next door to a young lady."

"Hey, there aren't that many rules. I'm letting you stay, so just do as you're told. I'm in charge here. If anyone has something to say, just tell them to come find me directly."

Nineteen forced himself to stand up, left the room, and went to the next room.

"Spring Peach"

"What's wrong, Miss?"

"Get me something to eat."

"good"

After an incense stick had burned, Chun Tao brought the food to Su Wanxing's room.

"Go to sleep first."

"Okay, miss."

Su Wanxing picked up the food and knocked on the door.

"Enter"

Su Wanxing kicked the door open and brought in the food.

Let's eat first.

Su Wanxing placed the food in front of Shijiu.

After thanking him, he wolfed down his food.

Eat slowly.

Nineteen nodded and slowed down.

"I think I forgot to ask Chun Tao to boil some water. You eat first, I'll go boil some water."

Su Wanxing suddenly stood up, and Nineteen immediately grabbed her hand, saying while swallowing her food.

"Miss, I can take care of these things."

Suddenly realizing something was wrong, Nineteen let go of Su Wanxing's hand.

"It's alright, you can barely stand, why would you boil water?"

Nineteen shook her head and firmly refused, "No."

Su Wanxing had no choice but to go along with him.

"After you finish eating, I'll take you there."

Nineteen sat down and quickly finished his meal.

Su Wanxing brought Nineteen to the warm pavilion, and Nineteen immediately started boiling water.

Su Wanxing also sat to the side watching.

"You're quite skilled at it."

"I used to be a servant."

Nineteen added firewood again and again, and the wounds on his arms were fully exposed.

What happened to your injuries?

"I was sold to the black market, and I was beaten for disobeying them."

When will your injury heal?

"I'm fine, I can work."

"Oh? No, that won't do. You have to wait until your injury heals before you can work."

Su Wanxing sat down next to Nineteen and helped him add firewood.

In less than half an hour, Nineteen returned to the room carrying bucket after bucket of hot water.

Su Wanxing knew that Shijiu wouldn't ask for her help, so she simply sat in his room and waited.

"The water's almost ready, you should take a shower first."

He nodded at nineteen and took off his tattered clothes.

"you"

Su Wanxing never expected that Nineteen would strip naked in front of her.

"What's wrong, Miss?"

Nineteen turned around.

He was very tall, with a well-proportioned and sturdy build. He wasn't as robust as an adult, but he exuded vigorous strength. His shoulders were broad but not thick, and his back was firm.

That physique is definitely that of a 185cm tall physical education student!

However, the scars all over his body seemed out of place on this body.

"It's okay, you go wash first, I'll go get your medicine."

"Thank you, miss."

Su Wanxing closed the door and went to the pharmacy.

"Why are there so many medicines? I don't understand them. What should I do? Panax notoginseng and safflower sound familiar. Maybe I should try these two first?"

Su Wanxing wrapped the two medicinal herbs and went to the door of the 19th house, then knocked on the door.

"Nineteen, are you done washing?"

"Alright, Miss."

Su Wanxing pushed open the door and entered, only to find that Nineteen was still bathing in the tub.

Why are you still inside?

There were no changes of clothes.

"Oh right, I forgot. But where can I find one now? How about I go shopping and buy you one tomorrow?"

"Thank you, miss."

"I brought some Panax notoginseng and safflower, but I don't know how to use them."

"Miss, please put it on the table. I'll apply it myself later."

"Okay, I'll be going now."

The next day, Su Wanxing got up early and went to the street to buy a new outfit for Shijiu. Of course, the money was borrowed from the housekeeper first.

"Nineteen, are you up yet?"

"You've risen, Miss."

Su Wanxing pushed open the door and went in, only to find Nineteen sitting on the bed with her upper body naked.

Su Wanxing turned her back and threw the clothes to Nineteen.

"Put it on first."

Nineteen took the clothes and could tell they were made of good material just by touching them. She put them on in no time.

"Alright, Miss."

Su Wanxing turned around and looked around at Nineteen.

"Great! I didn't expect my taste to be so good; black is definitely a safe bet."

"Thank you, miss."

Su Wanxing looked up at Nineteen. Because she hadn't dared to look at her much last night, she now realized that Nineteen was quite good-looking.

She has well-defined features, a round face with a slightly curved jawline, light, arched eyebrows, and large eyes.

Is a cold face cute? I actually got a hidden item from a blind box!

Nineteen looked at Su Wanxing staring at her with a malicious smile and couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"What's wrong, Miss?"

"Oh? It's nothing, it's nothing."

"Oh, by the way, I have a task for you."

"Please speak, miss."

Su Wanxing took out a piece of paper and handed it to Nineteen.

"Make me a pot of milk tea according to the instructions above, and let me try it."

After writing it down, Shijiu immediately rushed to the kitchen.

"Sure, with such a motivated worker like me, I'll succeed at anything."
