Si Jinxing selected several people of different ages and agreed on a time to "help".
He left Bai Xi here to look after the place and was about to leave with Qing Chan.
But suddenly, I heard a sobbing sound coming from the corner.
The sound was so small that if Si Jinxing didn't have good hearing, she probably wouldn't have noticed it.
She looked in the direction of the sound and saw a middle-aged woman holding a thin little girl.
The woman's body was bent and twitching, as if she was trying her best to suppress it.
Si Jinxing was about to walk there, but was stopped by an old woman not far away.
The old woman was dark and thin, and her weathered face was covered with wrinkles, each wrinkle silently telling of the hardships of life.
Si Jinxing paused, squatted down, and asked:
"Grandma, is there anything wrong?"
The old woman turned her cloudy eyes, glanced at the mother and daughter in the corner, sighed softly, and said:
"That girl is a poor thing, alas... killed by that beast..."
When Si Jinxing heard this, the words Liu Xitang had said before flashed through her mind...
Could it be that girl?
She nodded slightly and said, "I understand."
When she approached the mother and daughter, she heard the woman whispering:
"Child, at least drink your porridge. How can I live if you treat yourself like this?"
Only then did Si Jinxing notice that there was a bowl of porridge next to the mother and daughter, but they hadn't touched a single bite of it.
She couldn't help feeling uncomfortable and said:
"Sister, are you punishing yourself and your loved ones because of someone else's mistakes?"
Hearing her words, the woman quickly raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face, forced a smile, bowed, and said:
"My benefactor, it's my fault as a useless mother that the child has suffered injustice. It has nothing to do with the child."
Most mothers in this world are like this:
If I can take responsibility for the mistakes made by my children, I don’t want to let my children bear the consequences.
Si Jinxing shook his head and said:
"You are not wrong, she is not wrong either, the one who made the mistake is wrong!
I have already cut off that man's wrist!
If you can think more positively, put this matter behind you and try to live a better life.
If you are still angry, drink that bowl of porridge now, try your best to survive, and you can avenge yourself in the future!
Life is hard enough, why make it harder on yourself?"
The woman listened and wanted to agree, but when she heard that he was seeking revenge for her, she was frightened and waved her hands, saying:
"No, no, he is the nephew of the county magistrate.
My benefactor is a person of status, so I am not afraid of him.
But how could we, poor people, dare to do anything to him?
Isn’t that courting death?! I…”
Si Jinxing listened to what the woman said and saw that she looked uneasy. She was about to try to persuade her, but she saw the girl stand up from the woman's arms and look at her.
Upon taking a look, he found that the girl was indeed a cold beauty as Liu Xitang said.
His facial features are very pretty, but his skin is a little rough, probably because of being away from home and traveling around these days.
The girl just took a look, then reached out to pick up the bowl of porridge and drank it down in one gulp!
Seeing this, the woman said with a pale face: "No!"
But the girl stubbornly looked at the sleeping Liu Xitang from a distance and said:
"I'm not going to smash his wrist."
When her mother heard this, she felt relieved and muttered:
"Yes, yes, let's find a place where we don't know each other..."
Before the woman finished her words, the girl spoke again:
"I'm going to smash his harmful thing into mud!"
There was a hint of despair in the cold voice, which startled the woman!
"Xin'er!
Listen to your mother, your father taught you to read and write and medical knowledge since you were young. You should understand the general principles!
Now, why bother risking yourself for that beast? It's not worth it!
Besides, the Zhang family's Erlang might have already returned to Tong County and is waiting for us!"
When the girl called Xin'er heard this, she suddenly raised her head and said with red eyes:
"Now, I am afraid I am too embarrassed to go back and see him!
Mother...just pretend that you never gave birth to me!"
After hearing this, Si Jinxing finally understood that this girl had a lover!
Now that her virginity had been broken by Liu Xitang, she felt guilty towards that man.
She must have had suicidal thoughts a long time ago, otherwise she wouldn't have refused to drink a single sip of porridge before!
Now I know that if I can avenge myself, then it would be worth dying for!
Si Jinxing sighed lightly. A woman’s innocence has always been a shackle.
The importance men place on that membrane makes women think it is natural, especially in this era where men are superior to women.
Even in previous lives, women of the new era would be criticized.
Si Jinxing could understand Qiao'er's thoughts very well, but he did not agree with her approach. He said:
"If you die, it's all over. Have you ever thought about how much pain your mother will have to endure?
You can take revenge, but not right now. It's easy to hit him, but you also have to consider the consequences.
They say it's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Wait until you have the ability and don't need to sacrifice yourself, then it's never too late to take revenge! "
When Xin'er heard this, a glimmer of light flashed in her empty eyes, but disappeared in an instant.
She chuckled and said self-deprecatingly:
"How can people like us have such a chance to turn things around?"
Si Jinxing looked at her and said solemnly:
"I heard from your mother that you have been reading and writing since you were young and understand medical knowledge. Would you like to accompany me to Xuzhou and be my assistant?
In the future, I will give you the opportunity to take revenge with your own hands!"
Hearing this, Xin'er glanced at her mother beside her, then looked at the woman in the veiled hat in front of her, and said in surprise:
"Benefactor... don't you despise people like me? I wonder why you are going to Xuzhou, and what do you need me to do?"
Si Jinxing couldn't help but ask back:
"Why should I dislike you? I still say the same thing, you are not wrong, there is no need to blame yourself!
As for what I am going to do in Xuzhou, you will know when you get there.
Since you are from Jianghuai, it will be much easier for me to get things done.
Anyway, you’ll like what I’m going to do!”
Although the woman was worried about her daughter going with a stranger, she also felt that the man in front of her was their benefactor.
Now, he persuaded his daughter to give up the idea of revenge immediately.
She could only wipe away her tears and said:
"Hurry up and thank your benefactor. You must obey your benefactor in the future. After you finish your mission, return to Tong County as soon as possible. Mother will be waiting for you at home."
Na Xin'er straightened up, glanced in the direction of Liu Xitang, then looked at Si Jinxing and said:
"Thank you for your help, benefactor. Song Xiner is willing to serve you and only hopes that revenge can be achieved soon!"
Because of Song Xiner's appearance, the candidates for "help" were re-determined, and then they left the farm.
Rushed all the way to the city.
In the carriage, Si Jinxing finally couldn't hold back anymore. She looked at Song Xiner, who was sitting quietly opposite her, wondering what she was thinking, and said:
"Have you ever learned to take a pulse? How many herbs do you recognize?"
