Chapter 479 The kindness of a tree root
Bai Zhi didn't dare to go anywhere, so she hid in a nook and cranny all night.
This night, it sounded quiet, as if nothing happened.
But Angelica dahurica is like a awn on the back, like a knot in the throat, like a stem blocking the teeth!
The sky has dawned again, with the brilliant morning sun, quiet streets, and the silence as if it were a ghost gate.
It’s just a tree root! But Bai Zhi couldn't feel at ease.
She really couldn't bear it, so she walked around in circles for a long time and found the children's yard again.
Nothing seemed out of the ordinary, but Bai Zhi's heart was beating fast, she was so nervous that her ears were ringing, and her back was soaked.
She got in through yesterday's small hole again. There was no one in the courtyard, and even the breeze stopped. Her feet began to feel weak, her limbs were cold, and her head felt swollen.
Only the sockets of his eyes were warm from all over his body.
She kept taking deep breaths and walked to the thatched house. There was such a big pool of blood!
She had been worried last night about how they, an old man and five children who could hardly move, would survive!
Today, this ridiculous worry came true. She rushed into the room with weak legs. The old man was lying flat on the wooden board with blood oozing from his chest. He died peacefully!
Bai Zhi stretched out her hand tremblingly, and she could feel the cold even before she touched the old man's skin.
So cool.
Bai Zhi hurriedly retracted her hands and covered her forehead and eyes with both hands. Hot tears seeped out from the cold fingers, slid down her arms into the cuffs, and chilled the skin in the sleeves.
How could it be! how come!
She kept sobbing, and her nose seemed to be filled with water, making it difficult to breathe.
She wiped her nose and tears with her sleeves, which were so black that they were crusty. She thought, if she were here, would the old man not have to die?
I feel powerless again!
Such regret only existed for a moment before Bai Zhi strangled it in her chest with a fierce breath.
She made the decision herself, and she should bear the consequences!
It goes without saying that if she doesn't have any regrets, she can just leave!
But she couldn't live with it, so she would take care of it!
Who made her so greedy that she ate half of a tree root?
She wiped away her tears violently and began to look for traces of the children. She searched the house for a long time, and finally found a hole under the bed where the old man was lying.
She pushed the old man's body aside and lifted up the bed board. There were five little carrot heads underneath, neatly arranged, not a single one missing.
They huddled together, gritted their teeth, and did not dare to cry. Their heads were covered with coagulated blood. It must have been the old man's blood that seeped through the gaps in the bed board.
God knows how they felt last night while holding on to the dripping blood, feeling the blood change from hot to cold, and waiting for the dawn bit by bit.
Bai Zhi didn't ask, she didn't dare to ask, she stretched out her hand to the children, "Do you want to go with your sister?"
They gritted their teeth with hatred and said nothing.
"Sister, I will take you to eat well, wear clean clothes, read and write..."
"We want to avenge grandpa!" The children interrupted Bai Zhi's words.
Bai Zhi was stunned for a moment, then her eyes turned red and she smiled faintly, "Okay! Come with me! Only after you have a full meal can you take revenge!"
The children had no choice but to follow Bai Zhi.
Bai Zhi thought this was strange. The old man must have realized that she couldn't bear it, so he insisted on her eating the roots.
Even though she knew this, she still ate the root half-heartedly.
She was kidnapped by the kindness of this tree root, but it was her own choice.
She thought of her child inexplicably. Although she couldn't remember what he looked like or the day he was born, she just missed him.
It is the instinctive care of the body that permeates the soul. She hopes that the baby will live a prosperous and happy life somewhere in the world.
Even if, just in case, he had a bad day, she prayed for someone to help like this.
Please, please...

So Bai Zhi lived a life of fleeing with her five children.
She found that she was not as good as these children. They were good at finding their way over walls, stealing things, and even killing people. She had to rely on them to support her.
She is useless!
There is no way to continue like this. It is very difficult to live without a meal. Robbery is not always possible, and one day people may be gone.
So she took the children to the Danning River and said she would take them across the river to the other side to exchange money to buy food.
But there are six bridges on the Danning River. Since the riots, the bridges have been sealed. The soldiers guarded the bridges tightly and would not let an unidentified person pass.
Bai Zhi thought about it carefully, how did she escape from the county government's seventh master that night? Why did you go to the north again?
Bai Zhi didn't know where the county government office was, so she asked several children to follow her back to the place and recalled it carefully, and finally settled on a bridge with the most reasonable route.
Since she can come from the other side, the guards here are the weakest.
So she stayed at the north end of the bridge for two days, observing the temporary door in the center of the bridge, and finally discovered the clue one night.
Although they are separated by a river, there is trade on both sides of the Danning River, and the things sold are people.
When she came out that night, she vaguely felt a convoy passing by in front of her, so she followed it out. Because it was night, I didn’t know the city well, and I was too panicked, so I didn’t pay attention at all. It was a human trafficking team, and most of them were women and children.
Now that she knew this, Bai Zhi had an idea. They happened to be a woman and a child.
Most of the bandits had no discipline and loose management, and the escort team was sparse, so Bai Zhi and her five children easily sneaked in, and sneaked into the south of Danning River so easily.
Entering the south, the exaggerated gap is simply staggering. The lights are bright and people are coming and going.
The area closest to the river should be the gathering place for brothels and Goulan. Bai Zhi saw the signboard of Yinghong Building at a glance.
Compared with the surrounding brothels, Yinghong Building is quite old, and the old signboard must have declined.
They were still operating normally, which meant that her escape from Master Qi was over.
Bai Zhi quickly changed her route. She just wanted to stay far away from Yinghong Building and never meet anyone inside.
It was getting late that night, and Bai Zhi had no money, so she had to take a few children to sleep under the bridge for a night. This was a small man-made river. It seemed that the downstream was blocked, and the smell was so bad that it was impossible to catch fish. The advantage is that it is sparsely populated and safe.
Fortunately, the children never complained about suffering or tiredness, otherwise Bai Zhi would really feel that she was useless and couldn't even give them a bed.
The children were so tired that they quickly fell asleep. Bai Zhi was worried about where to stay, tomorrow's meal, and the future.
Suddenly Bai Zhi heard the sound of someone arguing, and she immediately became alert.
Following the source of the sound, I walked cautiously and heard a man and a woman arguing. The woman's voice was very familiar.
"Miss Yue, you are a brothel girl. My father really will not tolerate you marrying into my family!"
"I...but it wasn't you who said you wanted to marry me in the first place?"
It’s Miss Yue from Yinghonglou! Bai Zhi had a pretty good impression of her.
"Okay! Stop making trouble. I'll give you money, and you can work hard at Yinghonglou. I'll let you be the boss's wife in two years!"
"Don't fool me! You agreed to redeem me! But you keep putting it off. You are just fooling me! You want me to tell you about Mr. Zhang's whereabouts? You harmed him and poisoned him to steal his business. I carried it for you! If you don’t want to redeem yourself for me, I won’t let you go!”
The man was suddenly silent for a while before speaking, "Miss Yue, I have never lied to you. If I said I would redeem your life, I would definitely redeem it for you. It's just that I can't explain it to my family. Give me a little more time..."
The two argued for a long time, and Bai Zhi finally understood. Miss Yue had something to do with this man, and wanted to use it to redeem herself, but this man was an old scumbag, and he just deceived others and kept delaying.
Just when Bai Zhi thought it was just an ordinary drama and didn't want to get into trouble, and was about to leave, there was a splash of water, followed by Miss Yue's scream.
Bai Zhi hurriedly came closer, this man wanted to kill someone and silence him!
