Chapter 14: Baishui Town



Xie Ling walked very quickly, for she was afraid that the man would really lower his head to inhale the drug, and then she would have to save two people, which was troublesome.

Behind a huge rock, the man apologized to his wife and began to take off her pants.

Seeing the man lowering his head, Xie Ling hurriedly shouted, "Please slow down!"

The man quickly took the clothes beside him to cover his wife's lower body. He looked around and saw a little girl. He looked at her unkindly and asked, "Girl, why are you following me?"

Xie Ling said succinctly, "I know medical skills and can save your wife."

When the man heard this, joy filled his narrow eyes, and he did not doubt Xie Ling's words at all.

Why would a little girl lie to him?

He said incoherently: "I'm sorry, young lady. Thank you very much! If you can really--"

Xie Ling interrupted him, "Stop talking, go over and watch, don't let anyone else come over. For the sake of your wife's reputation, I don't want to reveal that I have medical skills."

The man looked at his wife reluctantly again and walked over to watch the wind.

Seeing that the man could no longer see this side, Xie Ling took out the medicine box from the space, cleaned the woman's wound, took out the syringe, and injected her with serum.

The woman's complexion gradually returned to normal. Xie Ling thought about it and decided to help her to the end, so she prepared a scar removal medicine.

Women definitely don't want to have scars there.

Especially for women in this era, if they are left with scars, they may suffer psychological trauma.

After everything was ready, Xie Ling called the man over.

The man was paying attention to this side all the time. When he heard Xie Ling's voice, he ran over like the wind. Before he could even catch his breath, he lowered his head to look at his wife.

Seeing his wife's face return to normal, the man was so excited that his eyelids turned red, his chest rose and fell, and his thin lips uttered a few broken words, "Yu Niang..."

He didn't care that Xie Ling was a little girl, and bowed solemnly: "Thank you very much, young lady. I don't know where you come from. Xu Xingzhi will remember your kindness in this life, and will repay you in the future."

It was clearly an old prison uniform, but he wore it in a way that made him look unrestrained and elegant, like a bright green bamboo.

Xu Xingzhi.

Xie Ling had heard of this name before; this person existed in the original owner's memory.

Even the original owner, a young lady who was raised in seclusion and never left the house, knew Xu Xingzhi, so you can imagine how famous he was in Shangjing.

The youngest scholar who won the imperial examination in the court, a scholar from a poor family, who lived with his widowed mother, was incorruptible and upright. He was truly an honest official worthy of the poem "looking up and down the world, with a noble character and nothing to be ashamed of".

He even refused the princess's proposal to marry him, and kept his promise to marry his childhood sweetheart from his hometown.

It seems that the woman bitten by the snake is his childhood sweetheart.

Xie Ling felt a little more sincere respect in her heart and nodded slightly, "My daughter is Xie Ling, the wife of the former prince of the Duke's Mansion. It's too much to say that you are loyal to her husband. It's just that my husband's illness has not yet recovered, and the women of the Gu family have many inconveniences in their actions. Sometimes I may have to bother you."

Xu Xingzhi knew about the affairs of the Duke's Mansion. He felt very sad and regretful about it at first and planned to submit a memorial to plead for the Duke's Mansion.

But I didn't expect that before I finished writing the memorial, it would be my family's turn in the evening.

Xu Xingzhi smiled bitterly, "As I should, I respect the prince. Our two families are just the same people who have fallen into the world together."

Xie Ling exchanged a few pleasantries with him, gave him the scar-removing medicine, and then returned to the team.

Recalling Xu Xingzhi's words "We are all exiled to this world", if you think about it carefully, you will know why Xu Xingzhi and his family were exiled.

The prince must have wanted to win over Xu Xingzhi, but Xu Xingzhi declined, so he found an excuse to exile his family.

Over there, Xu Xingzhi waited for Xie Ling to leave for a while before he carried his wife Yun back to the team.

When everyone saw that Yun's complexion had returned to normal, they all thought it was because Xu Xingzhi had sucked out the venom.

Only Gu Sanlang narrowed his eyes and looked at Xie Ling's slender back thoughtfully.

The team continued to move forward.

Before the sun set, everyone finally saw the majestic and endless Yunpan Mountain.

The setting sun fell into the mountains, and the sunset glow hit the wide Baishui River, flowing with bits of golden light.

At the foot of Yunpan Mountain there is a river called Baishui River, and on the banks of the river there is a small town called Baishui Town.

Baishui Town is located near mountains and rivers, and is the only way for various provinces to reach the capital. Therefore, it has frequent commercial and travel exchanges and is rich and prosperous.

After passing Baishui Town, you are completely out of the capital.

The official road outside Baishui Town is wide enough for five or six horses to run side by side. Cars flow like water, horses like dragons, and pedestrians come and go like a weave. It is no exaggeration to say that the road is crowded.

Leader Shen was a little surprised. He had been escorting exiled prisoners for many years. Baishui Town was prosperous, but he had never seen such a crowd of people.

I even saw the sedan chairs of some dignitaries coming to Beijing. Has some important person come to Baishui Town?

The exiled prisoners thought so too.

When they were in the capital, they were all from powerful families, so they naturally recognized some sedan chairs of aristocratic families.

Pei stared at a sedan chair going away, looking somewhat puzzled. "That was the sedan chair of the Minister of Rites' family. I saw it at Ru Jie'er's full-month banquet. Why did they come to Baishui Town?"

Xie Ling replied: "Maybe some important person came to Baishui Town."

Pei nodded.

But no matter how big a figure the person is, it has nothing to do with them.

On the day the emperor issued the accusation, the prosperity of Shangjing disappeared from the Duke's Mansion.

More than a hundred exiled criminals, wearing tattered prison uniforms, were very conspicuous on the busy street.

Along the way, almost all pedestrians would look sideways and look at them with contempt.

Some even wanted to stay away from them to avoid being contaminated by their scent.
