"Alright, from now on I'll be Zhao Mazi." He was already conflicted enough about giving up the First Prince; if he had to betray him too, he... he'd feel inhuman. "Miss, may I ask you another question?"

"Ask away."

Zhao Mazi pointed at Lao Hei and said, "Is his face fake too?"

"No. It's so awkward to look at a fake face every day, isn't it? You have no choice, but even if I'm awkward, I can't disregard your life."

"In addition, there are some things to be careful about when wearing a fake face. For example, you can't sweat too much, and you can't wash your face with water that is too hot."

"Also, I'm not letting Lao Hei make you look good because I don't want you to go out and cheat on women. When women get ruthless, they can tear your flesh off piece by piece and eat it."

"Secondly, I don't want others staring at you. If they stare for too long and find out your face isn't real, you'll be in danger."

"Old Hei, tell Ma Zi what else we need to be careful about? I'm going back to sleep. I'm still a child, and children need to sleep more."

Old Hei rubbed Sisi's head. "Go ahead, I'll be back after I've finished getting his household registration done."

"Um."

After Sisi left, Lao Hei took the bag and walked towards Zhao Mazi again.

Zhao Mazi took a step back. "What are you trying to do? Let me tell you, I'm on your side now, I'm your brother now!"

"You don't have an identity yet."

"..."

Zhao Mazi was stunned for a moment before Lao Hei stuffed him back into the bag.

Zhao Mazi was extremely frustrated. "Hey! It's nighttime!"

"Better safe than sorry."

Be careful, my foot! Why weren't you careful when you took me out to eat during the day?

“During the day, you weren’t one of us, so I didn’t care whether you lived or died. But things are different now. Now you’re my brother, so I have to think more about you.”

"..." So you mean I should thank you? "Hey! Be gentle, be gentle."

"Okay, hold on tight, I'm about to set off."

Sit down my ass!

When I see Miss, I'll definitely file another complaint against you!

You just wait!

The next day, just as Sun Xingyao was about to wake Sisi up, he saw her carrying Twelve and strolling around the yard. "Sixth Cousin, why are you up so early?"

"I got up when I heard Twelve crying." She can only play with Twelve in the mornings and evenings now; the rest of the time she's with her great-grandfather reading. Her great-grandfather practically nags her day and night: "You must be a good person! You must be a good person!"

Sun Xingyao thought Sisi was really good to Twelve. "Sixth Cousin, when is Uncle Hei coming back?"

"Let's wait three or four days. You guys can start training with Lao Yang. Lao Yang's kung fu is pretty good too."

Just as Sisi finished speaking, Old Yang arrived. "Good morning, Miss Six, good morning, Young Master Yao."

Sisi: "Good morning. Take them to practice their skills. I'll give Twelve to my Seventh Aunt and then head over."

"Alright. Young Master Yao, let's go."

Five days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Sisi was listening to Grandpa Yun chanting scriptures when Lao Hei and Zhao Mazi caught up with her.

Gao Pengcheng was quite happy to see Lao Hei back. But... "Lao Hei, you didn't bring another person back, did you?"

Old Hei jumped off his horse, dragging Zhao Mazi along. "I saw him lying by the roadside and picked him up. Doctor Sun, can you tell if he's starved or sick?"

"Alright." Finally, he had a chance to prove himself! Otherwise, he would have felt embarrassed to accept so much money from others. Doctor Sun came over with his medicine box, looking quite pleased with himself.

Gao Pengcheng looked over at Sisi.

Sisi stepped out of the carriage and stood on the platform between the driver and Gao Pengcheng, hands on her hips, pointing at Lao Hei's nose and angrily saying, "Why did you bring someone back again? Do you want to work me to death?"

Old Hei touched his nose. "I only picked one up this time."

"Everyone needs to eat and wear clothes."

Gao Pengcheng: "That's right. Don't pick them up anymore. Xiao Liu, don't be angry, he won't pick them up anymore. Lao Hei, quickly tell Xiao Liu that he won't pick them up anymore."

Old Hei: "I won't pick them up anymore."

"Hmph! You're not allowed to eat lunch! Doctor Sun, is he dead? Is he dead?"

Dr. Sun understood Sisi's hint, but...

Doctor Sun glanced towards the carriage behind Sisi...

Grandpa Yun did not disappoint Doctor Sun.

Grandpa Yun called Sisi back. "Don't punish Lao Hei, Heaven cherishes life."

Sisi pouted and snuggled into Fengchan's arms.

Feng Chan hugged Sisi and shook her. "Your great-grandfather is right. Heaven cherishes life. Instead of punishing Lao Hei by not letting him eat, let's punish him by making him catch a wild boar for us, okay?"

Gao Pengcheng: "Yes, yes, let Lao Hei go catch a wild boar."

Sisi: "Okay."

Grandpa Yun: "..." Something feels off. Oh well, traveling is tiring enough as it is, catching a wild boar to replenish our strength is a good idea. Otherwise, what if we get sick? "Old Hei, are you tired? If you are, we can go again tomorrow."

Old Hei said, "Not tired," and rode off on his horse.

With Old Master Yun speaking, Doctor Sun no longer needed to do anything against his conscience. "Old Master, this person isn't sick; he just fainted from hunger after not eating for several days."

"Then feed him something. When he wakes up, give him some food and let him go."

"good."

Soon, Zhao Mazi woke up and began to wolf down his food.

Dr. Sun advised him to slow down, but he wouldn't listen.

Sisi jumped off the carriage and kicked him. "Didn't you hear the doctor tell you to slow down?"

Zhao Mazi, carrying the dry rations, changed direction.

Sisi kicked Zhao Mazi again. "Don't eat so fast! If you eat that fast again, I won't give you any more."
