After three years of slavery, the entire mansion begged me for forgiveness

Qiao Nian was suddenly stunned.

Before she could react, Aunt Chun hurriedly said, "Don't listen to your Aunt Donghua's nonsense. Bai Yu and the hunters from other nearby villages will go into the mountains together every two or three months. Things in the mountains are always Better than the ones outside!”

At most there are pheasants and hares outside.

But it's different in the mountains.

There are wild boars and bears in the deep mountains, and sometimes you can even hunt tigers.

A few years ago, Bai Yu went up to the mountains with the group of hunters and caught one. The money he sold in the town was divided among several people. Bai Yu never went into the mountains again that whole year.

Aunt Donghua was disdainful, "What did I say wrong? It hasn't even been a month since Bai Yu went back to the mountains!"

I went to the mountains twice in the past month. Isn't it because I ran out of money to treat people's injuries?

Aunt Chun was afraid that Qiao Nian would think too much, so she would roll her eyes at Aunt Donghua again, "Oh, please stop saying a few words!"

Aunt Donghua seemed to have just realized what she was doing. She looked at Qiao Nian and smiled, "Ah, don't worry, girl, this Bai Yu is awesome! Everything will be fine!"

A smile appeared on Qiao Nian's lips and she nodded slightly.

It would be a lie to say that I am not worried, but more importantly, I am embarrassed.

She has no relationship with Bai Yu, and she doesn't know how to repay the favor of saving her life. Now she has to drag Bai Yu into the mountains again.

There must be danger in the deep mountains. If something happens to Bai Yu...

Qiao Nian frowned slightly, and the words "Tiansha Lone Star" popped up in his mind for no reason.

The panic came over her, but she forcefully waved it away.

Not to not to not to.

She and Bai Yu couldn't exchange a word for the whole day, so they couldn't really be considered close.

Even if she is really a lone star, she will not be able to harm Bai Yu.

After a few more words, the aunts left one after another.

It's getting late, they have to go back and cook!

Qiao Nian was still sitting by the bed, looking through the window at the small fenced yard.

It's really small and you can see it all with just one glance.

To the east is the kitchen, next to which there is a tall pile of firewood.

A small piece of land was opened up in the west, where some vegetables and cucumbers were planted.

Looking at this courtyard, Qiao Nian feels as if he has been reborn.

Here, it is a completely different life.

Before I knew it, the sun was setting.

The sky gradually darkened.

Aunt Chun came in with a bowl of food, "What? Bai Yu hasn't come back yet?"

Qiao Nian took the bowl of food but didn't move it. He just shook his head.

Seeing Qiao Nian also looking worried, Aunt Chun comforted her, "Don't worry, I will ask the village chief to gather people to search in the mountains soon."

Bai Yu led people to drive away the wolves that almost destroyed the village. He was the benefactor of the village. Everyone remembers it and will not ignore it!

After hearing Aunt Chun's words, Qiao Nian let out a low 'hmm', but she still didn't feel relieved.

A feeling of powerlessness enveloped her.

Compared to before, when Xiao Heng was under house arrest, he was even more powerless.

At that time, she could at least find a way to find a chance for herself.

But now, in such a completely unfamiliar life, she didn't know what she could do or what she could do.

Just as she was thinking about it, Aunt Chun suddenly saw the tall figure approaching outside the fence courtyard.

Dang even exclaimed in surprise, "Yo! I'm back!"

Hearing this, Qiao Nian raised his eyes and looked outside, and sure enough he saw the gate of the fence courtyard being pushed open.

Aunt Chun immediately greeted her, "Oh, why did you come back just now? You're worried to death!"

As she said that, Aunt Chun couldn't help but lower her voice, "That girl is so worried that she can't even eat!"

Chu Zhiyi raised his eyes and looked into the room in surprise, only to see Qiao Nian already taking small bites of the bowl of rice.

He didn't think much about it and just said in a deep voice, "I hunted a bear and took it to the town while it was still alive."

As he spoke, he took out a small ginseng tree from his arms and said, "Can I trouble you to make some ginseng chicken soup tomorrow?"

The people in the village had nothing good to eat, so chicken soup was a great supplement.

She narrowly escaped death and her body was too weak. She needed to be replenished.

With that said, he took out a few more taels of silver and handed them to Aunt Chun.

Aunt Chun refused, "No, no, didn't you give me five taels before?"

"Before was before." Chu Zhiyi was very strong, and Aunt Chun couldn't resist him, so she had no choice but to take it.

He just said, "Then wait a moment and I'll serve you some food!"

After that, he went back to his home.

Chu Zhiyi then went to the kitchen, scooped up a spoonful of cold water from the water tank, and drank it in one gulp.

Qiao Nian looked over from this position and could just see his back drinking water.

And the large piece of blood on his body.

Her brows wrinkled unconsciously. She also heard what Chu Zhiyi and Aunt Chun said just now.

Hunting a bear must be dangerous, right?

After Chu Zhiyi drank the water, when he turned around, he met Qiao Nian's eyes.

As if he realized something, he looked down at the blood on his body, then walked out of the kitchen and said, "It belongs to someone else."

It was indeed a dangerous day today and two people were injured, but they were all superficial injuries and were not in the way.

Qiao Nian didn't understand for a moment. She only waited for Chu Zhiyi to leave with a change of clothes before she realized that he was explaining the blood stains on his body just now?

Chu Zhiyi went to the back of the house to take a shower.

He originally washed in the yard, but after he came back after rescuing Qiao Nian, he changed to the back of the house.

The sound insulation is not very good.

Qiao Nian sat on the edge of the bed and could clearly hear the sound of the water.

When Chu Zhiyi came back, Qiao Nian was already standing at the door of the room.

His left foot was off the ground, and half of his body was leaning against the door.

Seeing the moisture on Chu Zhiyi's body, she couldn't help but say, "My body is almost healed. When my legs are healed, I will find a job."

Chu Zhiyi heard what she meant.

I'm almost in good health. I don't need to buy expensive tonics. I can even save the medicines I drink on daily basis.

I will go find work when my leg heals, so that I can pay him back his money as soon as possible.

He didn't say anything, but suddenly took something from his waist and threw it to Qiao Nian.

The thing was suddenly thrown over. Qiao Nian was startled and subconsciously reached out to catch it. It was a bulging money bag.

Chu Zhiyi went to the side to dry the clothes he had just washed. "The price of live bears is high. Each of the eleven of us got more than fifty taels."

Bear bile, bear paws, and bear skin are all good things.

After saying that, he turned around and looked at Qiao Nian, "This place is no better than the capital. The place is smaller and the work is less. You take good care of yourself and don't think too much."

The money bag in her hand was heavy. Qiao Nian knew that Chu Zhiyi was telling the truth. It would be great for a woman like her to find a job as a maid in a wealthy family.

But even if you work as a maid for a few years, you may not be able to earn back these fifty taels.

Her heart sank, and she responded in a low voice, "I know."

Then, he handed the money bag to Chu Zhiyi.

She felt that Chu Zhiyi gave her the money bag just to prove that he had that ability.

But unexpectedly, Chu Zhiyi only glanced at her and said lightly, "Keep it."

Qiao Nian was suddenly startled.

Is she keeping it?

Why should she keep it?

She is nothing like him!

Qiao Nian's mind suddenly became more active, and Qiao Nian felt panic in her heart.

Chu Zhiyi was so kind to her. Could it be that he had planned to get her to commit himself to him from the beginning?
