Section 68 Where the Wind Rises (4)

Ling'er pushed open the secret door and walked in, she held up the candle and looked at it, shocked in her heart. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThere is a small cubicle here, the cubicle is not big, except for the aisle, there is only a small bed. She slowly approached the cot, and a thick smell of blood wafted over her. Ling'er's heart was filled with pain. A thick quilt was randomly stacked on the bed, a little messy. The low cabinet at the head of the bed was full of medicine bottles, Ling'er picked up a few bottles and looked at them, except for the trauma medicine, which was painkiller. These made Ling'er even more distressed. There was also an incense burner next to the medicine bottle, and Ling'er came close to smell it, it was the smell of sandalwood. Ling'er walked further on, there was a wardrobe, she opened the cabinet door, and the candle was closer, and half of the neatly stacked in the wardrobe was a blue robe, and the other half was a white middle coat. Both the middle coat and the robe seem to have been specially incensed, exuding a good smell of sandalwood. Ling'er gently stroked these cyan robes, and thought: "It turns out that it was here that Qi Yang changed into a green coat and covered his hat and went out to do chivalrous righteousness, and it was also in this small confined space that he endured all kinds of pain and self-healing. And what about the cave? Was he afraid that the blood would flow all the way to the Qi Mansion and expose his identity, so he specially found a place to stop the bleeding from the wound and clean himself up?"

Ling'er wiped away the tears that couldn't help but slip down and closed the door of the closet. Next to the wardrobe was a narrow staircase, and Ling'er wondered where it led. She was about to go up to find the answer when she heard footsteps outside the cell. Footsteps were coming straight to the cubicle. Ling'er was startled, hurriedly blew out the fire candles, and hid in the narrow space under the stairs.

Immediately afterward, the secret door was pushed open and closed. The visitor did not light the lamp, but he was very familiar with the cubicle, and walked straight to the bed and stopped.

Ling'er had slowly adapted to the dim light in the cubicle, and she could vaguely tell that it was a woman.

At this time, the woman was arranging the quilt on the cot and stacking it neatly at the end of the bed. After arranging the quilt, the woman took out a stack of clothes from the bamboo basket she had brought with her and placed it on the bed, then she bent down and pulled out a bamboo basket from under the bed, and poured the clothes inside into the bamboo basket that had been vacated by Shicai. Then the woman pushed the basket back under the bed. She picked up the stack of clothes on the bed and walked towards the closet.

Ling'er was in a hurry and hurriedly held her breath.

The woman got closer and closer, and Ling'er realized from her expression and demeanor that she was actually a blind person, which made Ling'er breathe a sigh of relief.

Walking to the wardrobe, the woman raised her hand that was not holding the clothes to confirm the position of the handle of the cabinet door, then opened the cabinet door and put the robe and middle coat in her hand into the corresponding positions. Then she turned, but didn't take a step immediately. She slowly turned her head in Ling'er's direction.

Ling'er was horrified, could it be that she found me?

The woman did not say a word, but turned her head and walked towards the bamboo basket she had placed on the ground, then picked it up and walked out of the compartment.

Ling'er felt that the woman had left the Qi house through the back door, and she was completely relieved. Ling'er came out of the small space under the stairs, stood up and rubbed her sour waist. She re-lit the candle and walked to the bed, which was neatly tidied up and did not smell of blood. She bent down and pulled out the bamboo basket under the bed, which was empty.

Ling'er knew that the woman had come to take away the blood-stained clothes and bring them back. At the same time, she also guessed Qi Yang's good intentions in inviting a blind man to take care of these things, because the blind man could not see the color of the robe.

Because of the woman's sudden appearance, Ling'er forgot to continue to check where the stairs led to the second floor. She wondered more about where the woman was going when she went out the back door.

Ling'er hurriedly left the compartment and followed.

Although the woman was blind, her feet were not slow at all, and she was obviously very familiar with the terrain around her.

Ling'er searched for a long time before finding her by the river, and she seemed to be planning to do laundry. Ling'er didn't dare to get too close, only dared to observe from a distance. The woman was about her age, and although she was blind, she dressed herself well.

Suddenly, the woman turned around and walked in Ling'er's direction.

Ling'er was shocked, could she hear movement so far away?

The woman spoke, "Is that the right girl?"

Ling'er was shocked again, it turned out that she had really found herself! Since they had all been discovered, Ling'er walked calmly in front of the woman.

"Auntie, it's rude. Ling'er said apologetically.

The woman smiled and said, "It is indeed the right girl,"

"How do you know?" Ling'er asked curiously.

"There is a faint scent of orchids on the girl's body. The woman replied with a smile.

Ling'er thought to herself: "I see! I didn't expect this aunt to not only have a good sense of hearing, but also a very keen sense of smell. ”

"My husband's surname is Zhao, you can call me Aunt Zhao!" said the woman with a smile.

"Okay, Aunt Zhao, my name is Gan Ling'er. Ling'er said with a smile.

"The girl is a friend of the second master, right?" said Aunt Zhao, "If it weren't for the second master's very familiar friend, she wouldn't stay there." ”

"Actually, I'm just an ordinary friend of Qi Yang, and I accidentally broke into that compartment. Ling'er hurriedly explained, her little face flushed slightly.

"Huh. The person who can enter and leave the Qi house at will is a friend that the second master is very familiar with. Aunt Zhao said.

Ling'er thought to herself: "The door of the Qi Mansion has not been closed, isn't it common for you to be able to come and go at will?"

Aunt Zhao seemed to guess what Ling'er was thinking, and said with a smile: "Many things are not as simple as they seem on the surface. ”

Ling'er nodded as if she didn't understand, and said abruptly, "Can you help me hide from Qi Yang about my accidental intrusion?"

Aunt Zhao smiled and said, "If the second master doesn't specifically ask, I'll help you hide it!"

Ling'er thanked her, thinking that Qi Yang shouldn't find out!

"Oh, I almost forgot to get down to business when I talked to the girl. It's time to make sure there's no one around. Aunt Zhao suddenly remembered to do the laundry.

Ling'er looked around, it didn't look like anyone else would come here!

I saw Aunt Zhao uncover the lid of the bamboo basket without hesitation and pour out all the clothes inside.

The bloody aura spread instantly, and as Ling'er expected, it was all the blood-stained clothes that Qi Yang had changed. The blue robe was fine, and the blood stains on those white shirts were really shocking.

Ling'er looked at these clothes, and her heart was full of pain.

Aunt Zhao wet the clothes one by one with her usual face, smeared the soap horns that had been soaked and mashed, picked up a stick and hit it hard.

Ling'er thought to herself: "Although Aunt Zhao's eyes can't see, her sense of smell is very good. Why did she not change her face in the face of clothes that smelled of blood?"

Aunt Zhao suddenly stopped what she was doing and said, "The second master doesn't know how to cherish himself, and those of us who are subordinates can't talk about him, and ask the girl to take care of him more." After speaking, she turned her head to face Ling'er.

Ling'er looked at Aunt Zhao's face, but the same expression made Ling'er feel her pain and helplessness.

"Hmm. Ling'er replied softly.

Aunt Zhao smiled with satisfaction.

Ling'er looked at the cyan robe in Aunt Zhao's hand and asked softly, "Do you know what color the robe in your hand is?"

"What color is it and what's important?" Aunt Zhao said with a smile, "As long as you know that the second master is a good person, it's enough." ”

Ling'er knows that although Aunt Zhao's eyes are blind but her heart is not blind, she knows everything.
