Chapter 141 Deceiving Her
Lin Yuesha agrees that one should have a sense of justice and courage, provided that you have a way to protect yourself; otherwise, you're just causing trouble.
I remember watching a news report about someone falling into the water, and their companion, who couldn't swim, immediately jumped in to rescue them, only to drown as well.
His companion meant well, but his actions not only failed to change the outcome, but actually made it more tragic.
Lin Yuesha didn't think that associating with him would change anything. Call her cold-blooded or call her ruthless, whatever, she could only pretend to be blind.
"But... we can't just stand by and watch someone die!"
Xiao Qi stared at his younger sister for a while, then argued, "At least we should go in and take a look. If... if she's not dead, we should bring her some food. Maybe she'll pull through."
Xiao Qi had no intention of saving anyone. When he got excited, he couldn't help but try to trick his younger sister and put Lin Yuesha in a difficult position.
He doesn't even understand why he's like this now; he's just following his heart.
"All right."
Lin Yuesha thought about it for a moment, and the pockmarked face made a good point. If she turned around and left immediately without helping someone in distress, she might be punished. There was already a white ghost in her house, and she didn't want to provoke another one.
That said, even a female ghost should have some self-awareness; she should seek justice for those who have wronged her and take revenge for those who have wronged her, instead of causing trouble for innocent people.
After waiting for a quarter of an hour and finding no one around, Lin Yuesha calmed herself down and said to the pockmarked man, "You go in first."
"Why me?"
Xiao Qi waved his hands repeatedly, addicted to acting. He said righteously, "The people inside are women. Men and women should not touch each other. It would be inappropriate for me to go in like this."
fart!
A living person has a reputation, why would a dead person care about this? This damn pockmarked man talks a good game, but he's just trying to trick her into saving someone!
"My bottom line is that we go in together, or I'm leaving."
It would be a lie to say I wasn't scared. Who knows what's inside, or if there are still corpses that haven't been removed yet?
Lin Yuesha was very reluctant to go to a place with heavy yin energy late at night. She was destined to be different and marry a nobleman in the future. She couldn't afford to die in this wretched place.
"good."
Xiao Qi paused for a moment before agreeing and followed Lin Yuesha into the dilapidated house.
There was no heated kang bed in the room, and it was drafty from all sides. The bed board that had been there was just thrown on the ground, and the white cloth covering it was still intact.
"Help me..."
Hearing the noise, the unconscious girl used her last strength to make a sound.
Lin Yuesha was startled, thinking that the corpse had come back to life. She quickly backed away, forgetting about the pockmarked man behind her, and buried her head in his arms.
Xiao Qi twitched his lips, but his face was covered by a human skin mask, so his expression was not very obvious.
He raised his hand to pull Lin Yuesha out of his arms, but unexpectedly touched something soft. He grabbed it and found that he had grabbed a ball of cotton.
Xiao Qi: "..."
Lin Yuesha: "..."
Was she just harassed by an ugly, pockmarked man? Although she wasn't well-endowed, the place he grabbed was exactly where Jiang Baozhu had made cotton!
Both of them were extremely embarrassed. Lin Yuesha's face darkened, and she remained silent for a long time. She was considering that if she had the means, she should kill this annoying pockmarked man to silence him!
Xiao Qi was unaware that his younger sister had feelings for him, and said casually, "Your coat is really thick."
Lin Yuesha: "..."
An eerie silence fell until the girl covered by the white cloth spoke again, her voice faint and muffled, carrying the word "mother".
Lin Yuesha had been trying her best to harden her heart and not meddle in other people's business, but when she heard the girl calling for her mother, she couldn't help but feel sad.
"How are you?"
Lin Yuesha lifted the white cloth and found a ring of purplish-blue marks around the girl's neck, and her whole body was covered with whip marks, not a single good spot, a truly pitiful sight.
She turned back to look for the pockmarked man for help, only to find that he was no longer in the house.
What is it that left her all alone?
Lin Yuesha comforted the girl for a few moments, then immediately went out to arrest her.
Fortunately, the pockmarked man hadn't gone far; he was standing right at the doorway.
"What do you mean? Didn't we agree to save people?"
Lin Yuesha was very angry. She was also a young woman, and she would be scared too, being in a place that was even scarier than a haunted house late at night.
"inconvenient."
Xiao Qi explained that as a man, it was inappropriate for him to appear inside the house; he had to leave the young girl with some dignity.
"Being picky about things."
Although I agree, the pockmarked man should at least have said hello! Besides, the girl is on the verge of death, so we can't care about etiquette anymore.
"The person is still alive, but their breath is weak and they look unwell."
Lin Yuesha examined the girl's wounds, her body trembling. She imagined the Prince of Zhenbei to be even more terrifying. Judging from the two servants' words, this girl had suffered the least abuse.
Why doesn't the female ghost, who died tragically at the hands of the Prince of Zhenbei, come to avenge such a ruthless person? Is it really true that even ghosts fear evil people?
"To save her, we need food, medicine, and warm clothing. Whether she survives depends on fate."
After Xiao Qi finished speaking, he looked at Lin Yuesha and said, "I wonder where you are, young lady..."
"I can get some medicine and find some warm clothes, but as for food..."
The kitchen and Xuan Yao's courtyard are not in the same direction, so to save time, Lin Yuesha cannot go to both places.
"Okay, I'll prepare the food."
Xiao Qi agreed, and the two agreed to meet at the same spot in half an hour.
As soon as Lin Yuesha left, Bai Ying jumped out, covering his face with one hand, and asked, "Are we really going to save the little girl inside?"
"Save them, consider it an act of kindness for yourself."
Xiao Qi stood with his hands behind his back, looking into the distance, his voice extremely indifferent.
It is rarer for the Lord to say such words as "accumulating merit for oneself" than for red rain to fall from the sky. Bai Ying scratched his beard, almost scratching the fake beard off his face.
How do I look?
Xiao Qi touched his face and asked his subordinate with some confusion, "Just now, my little sister seemed to dislike me a bit."
Bai Ying rolled her eyes. Anyone would find someone this ugly distasteful, right? Just how much did the master offer the steward of the Prince's mansion to get him in?!
He thought his full beard was ugly enough, but in front of his master, Bai Ying had the illusion that he was a handsome man.
"It's just a face, is it really that important?"
Xiao Qi shook his head, completely baffled. He couldn't understand the definitions of beauty and ugliness.
Bai Ying dared not speak, afraid of being beaten. In fact, he was not afraid of being ugly, but his face was pockmarked and his eyebrows looked like the skin of a hanged ghost. He could no longer be described as ugly.
You can't just come out and scare people like that, can you?
Being with such a magnificent person, Bai Ying couldn't even eat. In comparison, the master's sister was already very resilient.
