Chapter 273

Chu Zhiyi never thought that something he had carved with his own hands many years ago would one day appear in front of him.

That small safety buckle was like a key, opening up the memory that had been buried in the dust for many years.

The bloody storm, corpses everywhere...

None of them frightened him.

"Thank you, Brother Bai."

The soft voice came, calling back Chu Zhiyi's thoughts.

He then moved his eyes away from the safety buckle, looked at Qiao Nian, nodded slightly, and then turned away.

Not a single word was said.

The woman had long been used to it, and smiled at Qiao Nian and said, "Don't be afraid, he has such a temper and doesn't like to talk, but he is a very nice person! Thanks to him, our village was not destroyed by the people in the mountains. Destroyed by evil wolves!"

As the woman spoke, she seemed to have opened a box of memories and was about to tell Qiao Nian what happened back then.

But Qiao Nian had other things on her mind, so she couldn't help but interrupt the woman and asked, "May I ask Auntie, how far is this place from the capital?"

"Capital?!" The woman exclaimed, so much so that Chu Zhiyi, who was chopping firewood in the courtyard, suddenly froze.

Just listen to the woman exclaiming in surprise, "Girl, are you from the capital? Have you been drifting here?"

Qiao Nian nodded slightly, "I, I accidentally fell into the Changyang River."

"Oh my God! The capital is more than three hundred miles away from here! Is the small river at the entrance of our village connected to the Changyang River?"

More than three hundred miles...

Qiao Nian's heart couldn't help but beat slightly, it was a kind of joy of seeing the light of day again after a disaster.

More than three hundred miles, even if the road is flat, it will take more than half a month to ride horses day and night.

From what the woman said, she should have drifted here along the branch of the Changyang River. Since it was a branch, Xiao Heng would not be able to guess or find it for a while.

This proves that she is safe.

Thinking like this, Qiao Nian couldn't help but look at her left leg.

I don’t know when this injury will heal.

Seeing Qiao Nian looking at her left leg with concern on her face, the woman hurriedly said, "Don't worry, although your leg is broken, Bai Yu has shown it to you, it's not too much trouble, just rest for another ten days and a half." It will be cured! Bai Yu is the best at treating this kind of trauma. Many people in the village have been injured, and he has cured them!"

As she said that, the woman picked up the medicine bowl she had put down earlier and said, "This medicine can help you recover. I used to feed it to you little by little, and it took a long time. Now it's better, and you can drink it by yourself." Yes, hahaha..."

The woman smiled heartily, but Qiao Nian was deeply moved.

Even close relatives may not be able to take care of you so patiently.

Qiao Nian took the medicine bowl and looked at the woman with grateful eyes, "Thank you, aunt, for taking care of me."

"Hey, what are you thanking me for! I work with money!" The woman laughed, "Bai Yu gave me five taels of silver! Then I can't take good care of you!"

I see.

Qiao Nian still smiled, "Then I have to thank Auntie."

In this world, there are so many people who take money but don’t do things properly!

Seeing Qiao Nian's sweet mouth, the woman was also very happy and said hurriedly, "Good boy, people in the village call me Aunt Chun, you can also call me from now on! Your clothes are changed by Aunt Chun for you, you are unconscious During this time, Bai Yu has been sleeping in the yard. Don't worry, everyone in the village knows what Bai Yu is like and won't gossip about you! "

Qiao Nian didn't expect this.

Only now did I realize that the clothes on my body had indeed been changed.

That……

A bit of panic could not help but flash in his eyes.

Aunt Chun obviously noticed it and couldn't help but gently hold Qiao Nian's hand.

The rough palms are covered with thick calluses.

But the warmth did not hinder him at all, and spread into Qiao Nian's heart bit by bit, "My child, you have suffered."

With a soft sigh, Aunt Chun didn't expect that she could not help but shed tears.

But he couldn't blame her. The scars on the child were too shocking.

Bai Yu said that the clothes she wore that day looked very much like a maid from a wealthy family.

Then this rich family went too far, how could they beat their maid like this?

Isn't the life of the maid not life?

If this girl's parents saw her, I don't know how sad they would be!

Aunt Chun didn't say these words, fearing that it would arouse Qiao Nian's sadness.

But seeing Aunt Chun's tears, Qiao Nian's eyes turned red unconsciously, "Aunt Chun, don't be like this, I'm fine."

Now, he is far away from the capital and those people.

Everything is over.

If those people in the capital couldn't find her after looking for her for several days, they would definitely think that she was dead.

That girl Ningshuang must be very sad.

However, with Ji Yue taking care of her, Ningshuang should be fine.

Xiao He will definitely look after Ningshuang for her.

Therefore, she no longer has to worry or worry.

Where she will go will be decided after she recovers her health.

After being comforted by Qiao Nian, Aunt Chun also nodded, "Yes, yes, it's all over. Just stay here and recuperate! By the way! You just woke up. Aunt Chun went to catch an old hen and make some chicken soup to replenish your health." Replenish your body!”

After saying that, Aunt Chun stood up and walked out. She was so fast that Qiao Nian didn't even have time to say anything to stop her, and she had already walked out of the room.

Seeing Aunt Chun come out, Chu Zhiyi just put down the hatchet in his hand and stood up to see her off.

"No need to see me off!" Aunt Chun waved at Chu Zhiyi, "I'll go make some chicken soup and come back later."

Hearing this, Chu Zhiyi didn't respond, just watched Aunt Chun walk out of the fenced yard, then sat down again, picked up the axe and was about to continue chopping wood.

Unexpectedly, he saw the figure leaning against the door out of the corner of his eye.

Chu Zhiyi's brows twisted slightly, and then he finally spoke, "Your injury hasn't healed."

You shouldn't walk around casually.

The man's voice was deep, even if it was just a low sound, it seemed to carry a strong force.

For some reason, Qiao Nian was a little afraid of this man.

Her eyes flickered unconsciously, with a bit of panic, "I, I want to ask Brother Bai, have you seen my bracelet?"

She just found out that the bracelet that Mother Jing gave her was gone.

Chu Zhiyi had a cold face and didn't speak.

Qiao Nian realized that she hadn't made it clear. Would he think she was hinting that he had taken the bracelet?

She panicked, "I didn't mean anything else. The bracelet might have fallen into the river. I just thought that maybe Brother Bai had seen it."

As soon as she finished speaking, Chu Zhiyi suddenly stood up and went into the kitchen. Not long after, he came out again.

He strode in front of her. He was so tall that even if he stood at the bottom of the steps, Qiao Nian's line of sight could only reach his chest.

He had a natural aura of killing, which was frightening.

How many preys must he have hunted to have such an aura!

He stretched out his hand, and a piece of white linen seemed to be wrapped in something.

He only heard the deep voice saying, "It's broken."

Qiao Nian was startled, and then he took it and saw that there were several broken jade bracelets wrapped under the linen.

It was sent by Mother Jing!
