Chapter 114: A Life-Saving Grace Should Be Paid Back With The Body

Xiang Qing easily and effortlessly carried me on his back through the rugged mountain paths. Behind us, the unwilling and bitter Mo’lin and Yin Zi exchanged hateful glances between each other.

Like this, we walked until the sun had set. We arrived at the outskirts of a town. I reluctantly held onto his clothes as he placed me down, he turned to comfort, “I’m going into town to find a carriage for you, so wait for me here.”

What use is a carriage? I didn’t understand the meaning of those words so Yin Zi had shyly replied in my stead, “Gentleman has our thanks.”

Xiang Qing entrusted Mo’lin with the responsibilities of taking care of us, and then immediately headed towards the town.

Mo’lin instantly dropped Yin Zi down onto the dust and dirt, whisking away at the dust upon his body and a little sorry to say, “He’s worried for you two ladies’ reputation, afraid that others would have small talk and tarnish your innocence.”

Hmmm? I was very confused, why doesn’t he just let other people have their small talk and tarnish the innocence?

“No need to hurry, we’ll proceed with our plans step by step.” Yin Zi brushed his pained buttocks, gave a resentful glance to Mo’lin, moved to my side and whispered, “Remember the words I’ve taught you, you mustn’t make a single mistake.”

I quietly recalled them within my mind several times, and then glimpsed to the cheat sheet in my sleeves nodding earnestly.

Not long after, the figure of Xiang Qing hauling a broken vegetable cart from the city appeared in the far distance. Yin Zi once again whispered into my ears, “He really is poor…..”

“Did you bring money?” I hurriedly asked Yin Zi, “Bring out a little and give some to Shifu.”

Yin Zi refuted in a flash, “I changed too quickly so when we left, I forgot to bring any…..”

Our eyes quickly gathered upon Mo’lin. Mo’lin scratched his head and reluctantly sighed, “In the Heavenly Realm, what use is there having money…..don’t you guys have any jewelry you can pawn for money?”

“I don’t like jewelry so I only wear flowers.”

“Cross dressing as a woman is already shameful enough, why would I even put on hairpins, accessories and the sort?”

“A bunch of idiots!”

As the three argued, Xiang Qing had already arrived before them. His face was flushed red, and he was very embarrassed to say, “I hope miss won’t mind too much, we should first head into the city.”

We quickly arrived at a truce, and revealed our extremely pure expressions, “Then we give our thanks to big brother.”

Sitting on this broken and dilapidated wooden carriage, we happily entered the city gates. When we arrived at the physician’s residence, the doctor was invited to take a look at my leg injury. His eyes were fixed onto my face for half a stick of incense’s time, and then slowly trailed down my chest. Like a child, a sliver of drool could be seen from the corner of his mouth. Only until Mo’lin and Xiang Qing unhappily interrupted his line of sight did he finally check my wound and applied a light herbal dressing for me. The doctor reached forward to ask for payment but had entered into another daze upon staring at Yin Zi.

Yin Zi with a bitter face searched on his body for some money, but was unable to fish out even a single copper coin. He looked towards Mo’lin to plead for help, however, Mo’lin just turned his head away pretending he didn’t know anything.

In that moment, the doctor had recovered and wiped his away his drool. There was a hint of anger in his voice, “Treating your injuries requires money! If you don’t pay, I’ll report you to the government officials!”
