Chapter 53 - 53 Cui Lingyi

53 Cui Lingyi

Cui Lingyi ate half of it, but Bai Wutong still did not reach out to take it.

Granny Wang’s face turned pale. Her Missus had already done so much, but Bai Wutong still refused to believe her.

Bai Wutong explained, “Her condition is rare and she needs the right medicine. I appreciate Madam Cui’s kindness.”

Since Bai Wutong refused to use the medicine on Qingfeng, Cui Lingyi would not force her. She generously prepared to put the remaining half of the Life Spirit Pill into the bottle.

Lin Yue suddenly looked at her and asked suspiciously, “Is this really a Life Spirit Pill?”

He had been at Sheng Huaixuan’s side and heard it before.

Bai Wutong asked in surprise, “You know about it?”

Lin Yue nodded and said to Bai Wutong, “Master said that the Life Spirit Pill is a secret medicine that even the emperor takes. There are even rumors that it can revive people. Our master even said that if he could buy it, he would definitely buy the prescription. Unfortunately, he has never bought a single Life Spirit Pill.”

A prescription that even a businessman like Sheng Huaixuan liked should indeed be effective.

Even if it didn’t work, it shouldn’t kill anyone.

Cui Lingyi could tell that Bai Wutong was tempted. Her hand paused, and she placed the medicine in front of Bai Wutong again without any hesitation.

Bai Wutong suddenly smiled. Cui Lingyi’s personality was really not bad.

She reached for the half pill Cui Lingyi was holding and fed it into Qingfeng’s mouth.

Not long after, Qingfeng’s tightly furrowed brows relaxed, and her face gradually became less lifeless.

After another minute, Qingfeng’s expression returned to normal. She slowly opened her eyes and saw Lin Yue’s surprised face.

He said, “Madam, she’s awake! She’s awake!”

His deep voice and bright eyes were filled with excitement when she had woken up.

The feeling of being cared for spread to Qingfeng’s ears to her eyes and limbs.

She sat up. Lin Yue was still hugging her foolishly, not noticing how inappropriate it was for the two men to hug each other.

Everyone’s attention was attracted by Qingfeng’s sudden awakening and had no time to notice this scene.

Bai Wutong asked, “How do you feel? Does it still hurt?”

Qingfeng said, “Not really.”

Bai Wutong looked at Cui Lingyi in surprise. She wanted to ask if there was any more medicine, but she stopped herself. “Thank you for the medicine, Madam Cui.” There was only one pill in the bottle. She had seen it too. Cui Lingyi probably could not take out any other medicine.

Cui Lingyi smiled calmly and said, “That’s how I should repay my benefactor’s kindness. It’s just a pill. Madam, you don’t have to be too concerned.”

Bai Wutong shook her head. “Even if there was a favor, it was repaid just now.”

Qingfeng glanced over and suddenly said, “Cui Lingyi?”

Cui Lingyi looked at her coldly, and her smile suddenly became sharp. “What can I do for you, Commander?”

Bai Wutong was stunned. These two people knew each other, and why did they look like they had a grudge?

Qingfeng replied indifferently, “No.”

Qingfeng’s emotionless words were like a ball of cotton stuffed into her chest. Cui Lingyi’s heart was filled with panic. She turned to the surprised Bai Wutong and bowed. “Madam, I have something to settle, so I shall be leaving first.”

“Granny Wang, let’s go!” She couldn’t be bothered to look at Qingfeng.

As soon as she finished speaking, Granny Wang fell to the ground with a bang.

Cui Lingyi picked her up in a panic. “Granny, what happened to you?”

Granny Wang shook her head with a pale face. She forced herself to get up. When she exerted a little force, she collapsed again.

Bai Wutong squatted down and touched Granny Wang’s forehead. “She has a high fever. Her body needs to be cooled down immediately.”

When Cui Lingyi heard this, she immediately reached for the small porcelain bottle around her neck. When she took it out, she suddenly remembered that she and Qingfeng had already taken half of the medicine each.

Her eyes turned red. If there was no medicine, what could she do about Granny Wang?

Bai Wutong comforted her. “Don’t be anxious. We have medicine. Change her wet clothes first and she’ll have medicine to drink then.” After saying that, Bai Wutong got someone to brew medicine for Granny Wang.

Cui Lingyi felt a lump in her throat. She thanked her and quickly helped Granny Wang aside to change out.

After changing her clothes, the medicine was indeed ready.

Cui Lingyi took it personally and carefully fed it to Granny Wang.

Granny Wang was already old. She had followed Cui Lingyi all the way and had a fever after she fell into the water. Fortunately, she had taken the medicine. Bai Wutong covered her sweat with a cotton shirt. Only at night did Granny Wang return to her normal temperature.

Granny Wang ate the warm porridge and finally relaxed, but Cui Lingyi’s face was filled with self-reproach.

She should have let Granny Wang stay in Qinghe.

Bai Wutong walked over and handed her a box of hot food. “Eat some,” she said comfortingly. “If you fall ill, no one can take care of her.”

The lunch box that Bai Wutong handed to her had an alluring color. There were vegetables and meat. She had only eaten dry food along the way. She had not eaten hot food for a long time and her appetite finally returned a little.

Cui Lingyi sighed. “Thankfully there’s Madam helping us.” She had owed her another favor.

Bai Wutong smiled and said, “It’s all fate. After you’re full, sleep beside her for a while.” With that, Bai Wutong handed her a thick blanket.

When Cui Lingyi saw the blanket in front of her, her gaze gradually landed on Bai Wutong’s bright smile. She was stunned for a moment before saying, “Madam, isn’t there anything you want to ask me?”

Bai Wutong turned around and looked up. She said bluntly, “What does your feud have to do with me? Besides, it’s in the past. If you have time, you might as well look at the stars.”

Cui Lingyi followed the direction of her backview into the vast night sky. There was nothing but darkness.

The stars were probably in her heart.

At such a young age, she was already so open-minded. Cui Lingyi also decided to let go of her desire to find out their identities.

The night was quiet. Huang Zhong was in a groggy sleep. His nose twitched and his eyes widened.

Ye Wu, who was sitting beside him on duty with a large saber, was shocked by Huang Zhong’s sudden opening of his eyes.

This time, he did not curse. Instead, he asked nervously, “What’s wrong? Is there another flood?”

Huang Zhong retorted in a daze, “You jinx.”

Ye Wu was so angry that his face turned green. He pinched Huang Zhong’s face with hatred. “Are you itching for a beating again?!”

Huang Zhong woke up completely after being pinched by Ye Wu. His nose twitched again. Ignoring the pain on his face, he grabbed Ye Wu’s arm and said excitedly, “Uncle, quickly tell Master that more than 100 people are approaching us. I’m not sure if they’re bandits!”

Ye Wu’s expression changed drastically. He jumped up with a whoosh and ran to look for Bai Wutong.

Huang Zhong had hurt his spleen and stomach. He had been eating well every day recently and had gained some weight. But he was still like a bamboo pole. Ye Wu suddenly stood up, and his small body almost fell apart.

Ye Wu told Bai Wutong that there might be bandits. Bai Wutong said calmly, “Be it refugees or bandits, let Qingfeng and the others get ready.”

Soon, just as Huang Zhong had said, more than 100 people were quickly approaching them with torches.

The bandits usually did not light fires at night to prevent alarming their prey. When Bai Wutong heard them shouting something, she subconsciously looked at the sleeping Cui Lingyi.

‘They must be here for her.’
