Ji Yunshu could almost see through every bone in his body.
To put it bluntly, the man in front of her looked as if he was standing naked in front of her.
Ji Yunshu's eyes were as sharp as a scanner and could see everything clearly. Judging from his bones, Bai Yin did not have the physique of a person from the Central Plains. The people from the northern part of Great Lin were all tall and sturdy, with broad shoulders, large heads, prominent brow ridges, and deep-set eyes like the westerners. However, Bai Yin did not have these traits. Although he was tall and sturdy, he was not bulky.
Moreover, his physique was not that of a person from the northern part of Great Lin. He looked more like a person from the western part of Great Lin.
Based on this, he might really be from Huyi!
Bai Yin grabbed the mutton in his bowl and wolfed it down.
He quickly finished the big bowl of mutton.
He grabbed the jug of water and gulped it down. He tilted his head back and his Adam's apple bobbed up and down. The water in the jug flowed down the sides of his mouth, onto his neck, clothes, and the ground.
He had finally eaten and drunk his fill!
His whole body was full of energy.
Ji Yunshu stared at him without blinking.
Then she asked, "Are you full?"
Bai Yin lifted her dirty sleeve and wiped it across her mouth. Her inky black eyes turned towards Gu Ruoyun.
He did not make a sound.
"If you want more, I can get someone to bring you more."
"No need." He licked the remaining taste on his lips and thanked Ji Yunshu.
Ji Yunshu's lips curved into a smile.
She did not care about his thanks at all!
Bai Yin bent his knees and placed one hand on them, appearing indolent and indifferent. He leaned his body against the wooden pillar behind him. Unexpectedly, as soon as his back touched the pillar, the pain in his back caused him to grimace and grimace.
"Tsk …"
It was as if thousands of needles were pricking him.
He touched his back with the back of his hand.
It was wet!
It was sticky.
He opened his hands and saw that they were covered in blood.
It was especially glaring.
His back was originally stained with blood from rubbing against the ground. After resting for a long time, it had recovered a little and the wound had scabbed over. However, he had eaten too much and moved too much, causing the wound to split open again.
He shook off the blood on his hand, not minding it.
Ji Yunshu frowned slightly. "You didn't apply medicine?"
She remembered that she had returned the medicine to him that night in the forest.
He had suffered such a heavy injury, yet he endured and did not rub it.
What a talent!
Bai Yin laughed icily and curled her peeling lips. She stared at the bright red blood on her fingertips and rubbed them together. She replied nonchalantly, "So what if I've wiped them? How could he recover? It's just death anyway. What's there to be afraid of? "
"…"
Ji Yunshu was speechless.
He suddenly raised his eyes and looked at her. "If you have experienced death again and again, and your feet almost stepped into the gates of hell, then in this world, there is nothing that can make you afraid."
Hehe!
Why hadn't she experienced it before?
He had experienced it countless times!
Being assassinated by an assassin and surviving, falling down a valley and surviving, being thrown into a lake and surviving …
It was a miracle that he had survived until now.
She was too lazy to tell them about her past.
He took out a bottle of medicine from his sleeve and squatted down behind Bai Yin.
The first thing that came into view was Bai Yin's blood-drenched back. Her clothes had already been torn apart and one could faintly see the bloodstained wounds on her skin.
It was terrifying!
Ji Yunshu opened the bottle in her hand and took out her clean white handkerchief. She dipped it into the red powder and gently rubbed it on Bai Yin's open wounds.
The moment the powder touched —
"Tsk!"
Bai Yin shuddered in pain.
The medicine seeped into his flesh and gradually spread from his skin to his bones like countless ants gnawing away at him.
It was excruciating.
Ji Yunshu's movements became gentler.
She explained, "This medicine was developed by Young Master Mo. It's very effective in healing wounds. Bear with it for a while. After you've applied it, as long as you don't touch it, you'll recover quickly."
"…"
The pain made him sweat profusely. He could only grit his teeth.
Bear with it!
Soon, Ji Yunshu's clean handkerchief was covered in blood.
It was extremely glaring! After the pain gradually subsided, Bai Yin heaved a deep sigh of relief. She squinted her eyes and panted lightly. She recalled the past and said, "I remember when I first came to this grassland. I met Ma Yinghao in the forest who was surrounded by a pack of wolves. At the time, he was on the verge of becoming the wolves' mouths.
Meat, I could have left and not saved him, but in the end, I turned back. Back then, in order to save him, I was bitten by those wild wolves and was covered in blood. I don't know why, but I was still alive to bring Ma Yinghao out of that forest. From that day on, I followed him and helped him fight battles and annex tribes. Days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, several years had passed. During this period of time, I was either dead or alive at the hands of the enemy. There were a total of 43 knife wounds and 3 arrow wounds on my body. I don't know how many more wounds I had.
I don't know how many times I've died and come back to life. I think that the reason the Heavens want me to live is to let me meet you and solve the puzzle that has plagued me for the past twenty-one years. "
He glanced at her from the corner of his eyes.
Ji Yunshu's expression was as calm as still water after hearing his words.
She didn't sympathize with him, nor did she empathize with him.
However, her eyes involuntarily darkened as she said, "Perhaps … the Heavens want me to live for the same reason."
The two of them had the same goal.
To unravel the truth!
Bai Yin didn't make a sound. Ji Yunshu's expression was cold as she continued to apply medicine for him. Her gaze was fixed on the wound on his back, and she didn't lift her gaze even half an inch. She said, "Twenty-one years ago, my mother met my father in a brothel and I was born then. When I was born, she died from a difficult labor. Before she died, she left me that wooden tablet. My mother came from a brothel and my father only had me when he was drunk. Thus, my mother became the biggest disgrace in the family. No one was willing to talk about her. They even burned everything she owned! So much so that … I don't even know what my mother looked like. Where was she from? Why was she in a brothel? I don't know any of this.
However, the wet nurse who took care of me since I was a child told me that I look very similar to my mother. As for how similar we are, I don't know. "
Ah!
Very similar?
Bai Yin froze!
He murmured, "Twenty-one years ago?"
Ji Yunshu seemed to be telling him this on purpose.
Thus, she specifically mentioned something that happened twenty-one years ago.
Thus, Bai Yin tentatively asked, "You mean … the person in the portrait … could very well be your mother?"
Ji Yunshu's hand froze.
Her gaze deepened as she put away the blood-stained handkerchief and twisted the bottle.
Get up!
She lowered her gaze to look at Bai Yin, who was eager to know the answer.
"You should rest first."
She didn't want to say more.
She turned around and prepared to leave.
Bai Yin called out to her, agitated, "If you know something, why didn't you tell me?"
She stopped in her tracks and pursed her lips with her back facing him. In the end, she didn't say anything.
