Chapter 95 Can You Give Me the Tree?
When he returned to Liujia Village alone, it was pitch dark. Lu Jingheng didn't go anywhere and ran straight back to Bai Yangfan's house.
When he saw her, he said pitifully, "Yang Fan! Give me something to eat. I'm almost starving to death."
Bai Yangfan: “······” This bastard is getting more and more outrageous. What does it have to do with me whether you starve to death or not?
Seeing the woman standing there indifferent, Lu Jingheng touched his stomach with a painful expression on his face. This time he was not faking it. His stomach problem was acting up and it was really uncomfortable. It had been hurting for almost a day and he had been trying hard not to collapse.
He still had things to do and couldn't just collapse like that. His comrades were waiting for him to take them back to Kyoto after completing their mission.
"I have a stomachache and feel very uncomfortable. Yangfan! Give me something to eat."
If the bastard had been as arrogant and domineering as before, Bai Yangfan might have been able to harden his heart and ignore him. But he acted like a sickly and delicate person, and it seemed that if he didn't give him food, he would be tortured to death by his illness.
That was not something she could do as she was about to become a doctor. Even though she had not become a doctor yet, she had already regarded herself as a medical worker who saved lives and healed the wounded in her heart.
Lu Jingheng's face was a little pale, probably because of a stomachache. Bai Yangfan stood up angrily, glared at the man, and went to the kitchen to find some herbs to make him a cup of tea.
"Drink this water first. It will help your stomach."
The tone was cold, like an order, but it sounded like heavenly music to Lu Jingheng's ears. The woman knew how to care for him, which meant she still had him in her heart.
Without saying a word, he took it and drank it.
No one asked what kind of herb it was.
Bai Yangfan sneered: "Lu Jingheng! You are so obedient, aren't you afraid that I will poison you?"
After drinking the herbal medicine and placing the cup on the table, Lu Jingheng smiled faintly: "Yang Fan! As long as it's given by you, I will drink it even if it's poison."
Upon hearing this, Bai Yangfan felt as if struck by lightning. He felt a chill running through his tailbone and then all over his body. He immediately got goose bumps all over his body.
She couldn't help but shudder and turned to go to the kitchen.
There was some leftover food from dinner, so I quickly heated it up and brought it to him.
It’s better to ignore this bastard if possible, so as not to be frightened by what he says.
After eating half a bowl of food, Lu Jingheng felt that his stomach was much better. It didn't hurt as much as before, and his complexion was much better too.
Suddenly he realized that he really should get married. It would be different if he had a wife to take care of him. In the past, when he had a stomachache, he could only endure it. If he couldn't bear it anymore, he would just stay in bed and sleep. When he fell asleep, he didn't feel the pain.
He never knew what herbs to drink, and no one prepared a hot meal for him. Since coming to Bai Yangfan's house, he felt a warmth of care that he had never felt before.
Even though he had to beg for it in the beginning and had to act crazy to get it, he still felt the comfort of being taken care of.
"Yangfan! Thank you for everything you've done for me." Lu Jingheng rested his chin on the table and looked at Bai Yangfan with gratitude in his eyes. "Your herbs are very effective. I felt much better after drinking that glass of water, and even better after eating."
Bai Yangfan put away his bowl and chopsticks and glanced at the dog man nonchalantly: "Now that you're well, go back! Don't stay here with me."
"That won't work." Lu Jingheng raised his head and waved for Bai Yangfan to sit down. "I still have something to explain to you. How can you leave?"
Bai Yangfan curled his lips in disdain and spat out two words: "Quibbling."
"I'm not making excuses. I really have something to tell you."
Afraid that Bai Yangfan wouldn't believe him, Lu Jingheng forced her to sit next to him, lowered his voice, and told her mysteriously in a volume that only the two of them could hear.
"I'm telling you, Mule. That foreigner took the silver hairpin you gave him and actually went to a tomb. There was a door there. They first bowed to the silver hairpin, then inserted it into the round hole in the door and turned it. Miraculously, the door opened.
Mule is right. Your grandmother’s Bai family is indeed the guardian of the tomb of King Li. Yang Fan! Has your grandmother ever told you this before?
After thinking about it carefully, Bai Yangfan shook his head with certainty: "No."
Undeterred, Lu Jingheng asked again, "Has it been mentioned in a subtle way?"
Bai Yangfan still shook his head: "No."
None? That's strange. Why didn't Elder Bai Feng mention this to her descendants? Did she think it was no longer necessary?
"Forget it if there's nothing. I'll tell you what happened next." Lu Jingheng still kept his voice low, almost whispering, "After the door opened, a dark corridor appeared inside. Mule and his men went in.
I followed him in and walked to the end, where there was another door. There was a large groove on the door, shaped like a tree. Isn't that strange?
Bai Yangfan was stunned. She, who was always calm, exclaimed, "What did you say? A tree?"
Seeing her reaction, Lu Jingheng knew what was going on. Bai Yangfan must know where the tree was, otherwise she wouldn't have reacted like that.
"Yes, it looks like a tree." While speaking, Lu Jingheng carefully observed the changes in Bai Yangfan's expression.
Unfortunately, Bai Yangfan immediately returned to his previous calm and distant state, narrowing his eyes slightly. "A corridor appeared? A tree appeared? And on the second door?"
Lu Jingheng nodded: "Yes, that's what happened. Yang Fan! Do you know the whereabouts of that tree?"
Looking back at the dog man, Bai Yangfan nodded decisively: "Yes, I know."
Since the plan has been implemented to this point, Bai Yangfan doesn't want to fail. At least the dog man will not harm him, but the mule may not be the same.
If the mule knew that she had the tree, he might kill her in anger. It was her fault for not giving him everything at once.
The consequences of angering him will definitely not be good.
"Yang Fan! This is very dangerous. Can you give me the tree? Those people are definitely not good people. If you really have the tree they are looking for, they might do anything to kill you."
"Sure." Without a second thought, Bai Yangfan picked up the bowl and went to the kitchen, telling Lu Jingheng, "Just sit here and don't move. I'll get it for you."
"good!"
Knowing that the woman had a secret, Lu Jingheng didn't want to pursue it to the end. It was obvious that Bai Yangfan was a man with a strong sense of justice, otherwise he would not have helped him time and time again.
In fact, he knew where she put the tree. It must be the place where she could take things in and out at will.
I just don't know how big her place is and how much it can store. Judging from the fact that she stored so many boxes of gold last time, her place is quite big.
