I went to the temple after traveling through time, and he turned out to be a monk!

Bai Zhi was so angry that she had no intention of evading and only focused on attacking.

Seeing that the big man's fist was about to hit his face, Bai Zhi was grabbed from behind, wrapped around her waist, and pulled into her arms.

He also has the smell of medicine that has been on him all year round, just like the smell of hospital disinfectant, a smell that is both scary and reassuring.

It's the smell of a doctor.

Meng Wenjing circled Bai Zhi with one hand and protected her head with the other hand. Her sleeve blocked her eyes. Bai Zhi saw the menacing faces of the people in the gap between the swaying and raised sleeves.

They angrily shouted at Meng Wenjing, "Pay up! Pay up!"

Bai Zhi was followed by people from Yinghonglou, prostitutes, turtle slaves, and handymen.

They squeezed into the crowd and stood in front of the two of them, shouting in defense, "You are so ungrateful!"

"Doctor Meng was kind enough to save your lives. Is this how you repay him?"

"Without Doctor Meng, where will you go to see a doctor?"

……

Two groups of people quarreled, one group wanted compensation, and the other group wanted to calm down.

While pulling and pushing, Bai Zhi saw another group of people, familiar faces, the neighbors who often came to see Meng Wenjing for medical treatment.

They did not make trouble, but watched worriedly and nervously. They did not dare to face the aggressive troublemakers, and they were tempted by the high price of compensation and were condemned by their conscience. They were wavering spectators.

All living things are different, but this is the case.

Bai Zhi clearly knew their motives, but was powerless to do anything about what was happening.

In other words, just because you know it, you can't do anything about it.

During the confrontation, nearby officers and soldiers arrived and they vigorously controlled order.

The girls in Yinghonglou are good at quarreling, and when they catch the officers and soldiers, they complain, "Old man, look at these unruly people. Dr. Meng is kind enough to treat them, but they still come to extort money from others!"

"What do you mean by extorting money? It's obvious that he was the one who put people to death! It's only right to kill people to pay for their lives!" someone shouted.

The arrival of the officers and soldiers made Bai Zhi calm down a lot and gradually regained her senses.

She broke away from Meng Wenjing's arms, stood in front of the troublemakers, and asked angrily, "Did he cure him? What disease? How can you prove that he cured him? Dr. Meng has been here for several months, but he still hasn't cured him. Extraordinary people, how come they all died today? Could it be that you took the money and wanted to put Doctor Meng to death?"

"Don't talk nonsense! My mother is dead, and you are still here saying such things to frame me!" The man cried with snot and tears.

"That's right, my mother is dead too! You, the doctor, are going too far!"

Bai Zhi almost laughed angrily, "Your mother is dead too? Where is your family? Who died?"

"It's my grandma..."

"What about you?"

"It's my aunt!"

"Where's the body?"

"They're all going to be taken away and buried!"

……

Bai Zhi asked several people in succession, feeling sad, and a huge feeling of powerlessness enveloped her, making her want to vomit.

There are really dead people in their family, all of whom are sick or old women.

If I guess correctly, these women are willing to die.

Sick people, old people, and women who combine these three characteristics are the least productive in the family.

Anyway, it costs money to treat the disease while alive, which is a drag.

If they sacrifice one of their lives, they can exchange for dozens of taels of silver and food for the whole family. They think that is a good thing.

Or, the whole family votes, one person is sacrificed, and the whole family is happy.

Bai Zhi's abdominal cavity began to hurt, and she felt like vomiting.

She looked at the officers and soldiers. They were standing in twos and threes, and some were chatting, casually and comfortably.

Bai Zhi's eyes were cold, "Sir, officers and men, what do you think? How should we deal with it? Do we want an autopsy done on the deceased? Check whether it is the person who was executed by Dr. Meng?"

"What's there to investigate? I didn't take anything. It was because of Dr. Meng's medicine that what happened..." The officers and soldiers looked like it had nothing to do with them.

"You bunch of scum! Have you checked? Have you examined the body? Have you made a confession? Did you also receive money..." Bai Zhi wanted to jump over and give them a mallet.

She had no hope at all. The medical clinics in the city were a big force, and it was a very clear fact that government and businessmen colluded.

But actually hearing the answer still made the blood in her body run colder.

She thought, how about doing the opposite now, summoning the people arranged from various places, going straight to the county government office, and shooting them in the head!

Wouldn't this be great?

Anyway, now she has the strength to compete with the Feng family!

She was immersed in the crazy thoughts of revenge, unable to extricate herself, and even forgot many previous considerations.

His teeth were clenched tighter and tighter, and his eyes were getting redder and redder.

But he suddenly thought, how can Denning City regain its vitality without getting the Feng family's money?

The picture in his mind gradually became bloody and dim, but there was a bang behind him, and Meng Wenjing closed the door and entered the house.

Those who were making trouble were anxious, "Doctor Meng, why are you running? You can't escape, and the back door is blocked for you!"

Bai Zhi regained her consciousness and became calmer again. She didn't know why Meng Wenjing went in, and she was a little worried about his mental state.

Just as he was worried, Meng Wenjing came out with a wooden box in his arms, his expression indifferent, neither sad nor happy, nor angry.

He opened the wooden box with an indifferent expression, grabbed the things inside, raised his hand, and scattered all over the sky were banknotes.

He grabbed another handful, which was broken silver and copper coins. The tinkling sound was the sound of coins falling to the ground.

The troublemakers, those watching the show, and those trying to break up the fight all became red-eyed at this moment and started grabbing money like crazy.

Meng Wenjing kept spreading the news and laughing to himself.

How ridiculous are those people who are squatting on the ground and snatching money.

He emptied everything in the wooden box, and also his yearning and yearning for this world.

He closed the wooden box gently, looked back at Bai Zhi, then turned around and entered the door, closing the door tightly.

Bai Zhi froze on the spot, feeling indescribably sad.

This sadness is for Meng Wenjing, for Danning City, for this country, for this world, and even more for herself.

Maybe she should get angry, or maybe she should stand in front of him regardless of the consequences and seek justice for him.

But she couldn't do it. She was unwilling to sacrifice her own plan, and she didn't have the courage to risk her own life for him.

In the face of love and personal love, she coldly chose interests and responsibilities.

They robbed the money for a long time that day. The common people were robbing, the officers and soldiers were robbing, and even the guys she brought were robbing. In the end, they were all violently dispersed by the officers and soldiers.

The girls reluctantly handed the coins they picked up to Bai Zhi. Bai Zhi shook her head and said, "You can keep it."

When it got dark, Bai Zhi was the only one left at the door.

She didn't even have the courage to knock on Meng Wenjing's door. She leaned against the door, hugging her knees and curling up.

In the dark night when you can no longer see your fingers, the sky is gradually sprinkled with tiny snowflakes, giving you a sense of desolation after a beautiful dream has come to an end.

Only then did she cry, the cramps in her abdomen making her body tremble.

It wasn't until she sobbed that Meng Wenjing knew she was still outside.

He also sat behind this door for a long time, from noisy to noisy, and finally returned to tranquility, leaving only her intermittent sobs.

It turns out that she is still with him.

It can't be said that he was moved. Meng Wenjing only felt ironic, but also eager.

Even if it was for entertainment, he seemed to be willing to be the one she entertained. After all, at this moment, he really wanted to hold her hand and hug her tightly.

But...just treat her as a prostitute.

Meng Wenjing opened the door with a creak, and she sat beside the door, raising her eyes to look at herself, the tears in her eyes shining brightly in the dim sky.
