Chapter 3377 Extra Strong Sister 31
Yang Zezhi put down the firewood, clapped his hands and said, "These are enough. Leave the rest for future generations."
He turned his head and whispered to Bai Jingxing, "Go."
Bai Jingxing ran to find Xiaoyang holding her skirt, and took her and a bundle and quietly went to the back.
Bai Ruoyu didn't pay attention at first, but when he wanted to drink ginger tea, he found that the only two women in the team were not there, so he looked around.
Seeing Yang Zezhi leaning against the small door in the backyard, whittling something, he couldn't help but run over and ask, "Brother Yang, where's Jingxing?"
Yang Zezhi pointed to the backyard and said, "She went to change her clothes. You should ask Dayi to find her clothes and go to the backyard to change clothes later."
"Why go to the backyard? Just draw a curtain with cloth and change here. I'll go in a minute." Bai Ruoyu touched her belly.
Yang Zezhi smiled and said, "There are girls in the temple, so even if we draw the curtain it will be inconvenient. You should go to the backyard."
"Okay." Bai Ruoyu leaned on the other side of the door and secretly glanced at Yang Zezhi.
Yang Zezhi noticed it, put away what he was carving, looked up and asked, "What's wrong?"
Bai Ruoyu looked towards the backyard, then glanced at the person on the other side of the statue, then leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Brother Yang, you... you are not... No, you are so nice to Jingxing, is it because she once saved your life?"
Yang Zezhi raised his eyebrows and asked calmly, "Why do you ask? Am I not good to you?"
"That's fine, but... it's a little different," Bai Ruoyu said after scratching his head, "You treat her better!"
Bai Ruoyu hummed softly before saying, "For example, on our birthdays a while ago, you gave her a birthday gift. My birthday gift only came to mind when I mentioned it, so you asked Dongfang to prepare it for me."
Yang Zezhi was a little embarrassed. "This is indeed my negligence. I apologize to you."
"No need, no need. We were young and didn't celebrate birthdays very often when we were in the capital. Every time we had a birthday, we would just have a meal together with our family, and the birthday gifts we received were all from close relatives. It's understandable that Brother Yang didn't remember," Bai Ruoyu leaned forward slightly to see his expression, "but why do you remember Bai Jingxing?"
Yang Zezhi said: "Because she saved my life."
"Really? Fake?" Bai Ruoyu looked doubtful. He always felt that Yang Zezhi had been too nice to Bai Jingxing in the past year.
Even if it was a life-saving favor, with his character, he would probably just remember it and repay it when he had the chance in the future. He wouldn't remember it every day of the year and be nice to Bai Jingxing every day, right?
Yang Zezhi nodded seriously, "Really."
"Alright," Bai Ruoyu temporarily suppressed his doubts, "Then you must remember from now on that Bai Jingxing and I have the same birthday."
Yang Zezhi nodded with a smile on his face, "I will never forget this again in my life."
In fact, he remembered it at first. After all, it was well-known in the capital that the two cousins had the same birthday. However, he forgot it when he was busy preparing a gift for Bai Jingxing.
Bai Ruoyu finally stopped trying to get to the bottom of the matter, and Yang Zezhi breathed a sigh of relief.
He lowered his head and took out the wood carving. Just as he was about to continue carving, he noticed someone was looking at him. He turned around and saw the two young ladies who had come out of the backyard earlier were peeking at him.
Yang Zezhi lowered his eyes, turned around, and faced away from them.
Bai Ruoyu was bored. Squatting by the small gate, she chatted with Yang Zezhi for no apparent reason. "Further north is Xinning County. When will we get to Pengshui County?"
Yang Zezhi lowered his head to carve something in his hand and chatted with him, "Who said we were going to Pengshui County?"
Bai Ruoyu: "But Pengshui County is the capital of Qianzhou. If we don't go to Pengshui County, shouldn't we go to the Qianzhou Prefecture School?"
Yang Zezhi said, "Qianzhou is more remote than the previous two states, and the roads are more difficult to travel. There are many Yi people here, and their customs and habits are very different from those in the Central Plains. So I'm not sure if we can attend official schools in Qianzhou. We might go to some tribes to study, and then a year will pass."
Bai Ruoyu was stunned. "There is a school in the tribe?"
"Of course not. Some tribes even have their own writing systems, which is quite interesting," Yang Zezhi said. "Besides writing systems, there are also different cultures like shamans and witch doctors. We can learn a lot from them."
Bai Ruoyu's eyes lit up, "That sounds very interesting."
"Although it's fun, you can't run around. Be careful not to get swatted by the swatters. There are many mountains and dense forests here, and we won't be able to find you then."
"How old am I? Why are you taking pictures of me?" Bai Ruoyu stretched out his arm to show him, "I'm already sixteen. If I were in a family that got married early, I'd be a father. Who would take pictures of a young man?"
Yang Zezhi smiled at him, "That may not be the case. I heard that some tribes here respect women and practice visiting marriages. Who knows, a woman from a certain tribe might take a fancy to you and abduct you to be their concubine for a while."
Bai Ruoyu shuddered, then calmed down after looking up and seeing Yang Zezhi's face. "It's okay, I have you here, Brother Yang. Even if they want to rob someone, they'll just rob you."
Yang Zezhi: ...
Bai Ruoyu was hit on the head from behind. He covered his head and turned around to see Bai Jingxing glaring at him. "Brother Yang is about to be robbed, and you don't want to protect him, but are gloating over his misfortune?"
Bai Ruoyu: "I am truly wronged. This injustice is comparable to the injustice suffered by Dou E. Can't you just listen to one sentence and put it into context?"
Yang Zezhi put away the knife and wood carving in his hand and said with a smile: "They may not snatch me away. The aesthetic tastes vary from place to place. They might prefer someone like Ruoyu."
Bai Jingxing became curious, "Brother Yang, do you know which tribe has women as the most respected? Why don't we go and see what's going on?"
Yang Zezhi's face froze, and he shook his head, "I don't know. Let it be. I don't think it's necessary to go out of your way to meet them."
"That's right." Bai Jingxing stepped aside to let Bai Ruoyu out, waving at her. "Hurry up and change your clothes. I'll go check on everyone and make some cold-dispelling medicine for you to drink."
The fire was already lit, and Li Han and the others were already sitting by it. When they saw the two people coming, they waved, "Come over and see what we're having for dinner."
Bai Jingxing sat down and motioned Qian Xiaoyang to bring her medicine box over. "What else can we eat? Just some bread soaked in water. Come, let me feel your pulse first."
Li Han and the other two pretended not to hear.
Bai Jingxing urged, "Hurry up."
Yang Zezhi rolled up his sleeves and sat opposite her, stretching out his hand to feel her pulse.
Li Han and the other two looked over quietly, and when they saw Bai Jingxing let him go, they still didn't move.
Yang Zezhi urged them, "Hurry up, we still have to bake cakes and eat after we finish watching."
Li Han and the other two hesitated and discussed with Bai Jingxing, "We can take your pulse and give you medicine, but can we not give you acupuncture?"
Good night
