Zhao Lan who woke up early, but seeing Bai Zhi was still asleep . She decided to go out the bed quietly and prepare a water to wash her face . However, when she just stood on the ground, Bai Zhi climbed up and rubbed her eyes: “Niang, you just rest, I’ll go get the water . ”
“No need, go back to sleep . I can still use my left hand, and I have the strength to fetch a water . You don’t need to bother . ”
“Oh, niang ah— just listen to me . This tub is thrice heavier than you think, so how will you carry it with one hand? Just sit down, I’ll go get the water . ” Bai Zhi was about to go out with the wooden tub, but somebody knocked on the door outside .
After opening the door, she saw Yingzi and her mother came .
“Aunt, are you looking for me?” Bai Zhi swept her eyes towards Yingzi . Yingzi was holding a bamboo basket . The basket was covered with a piece of cloth . The things inside were hidden .Yingzi’s mother squeezed herself inside the cabin and smiled, then said: “Zhi’er, yesterday, you saved my daughter’s life . We haven’t had a chance to thank you . I just went to the Bai Family’s house, but your grandmother said that you two stayed in here . So, I came looking for you . ”
Bai Zhi smiled and waved her hand: “It’s not a big deal . We are village folks . Helping one another is normal . ”
Yingzi’s mother smiled and said: “It may not be a big deal to you, but for us, you are the savior of Yingzi . I will not say any beautiful words . I just want to tell you that, if you need any help, as long as I can do it, don’t hesitate to come and ask me . I will find a way to help you . ”
Bai Zhi also smiled and said: “Okay, I’ll trouble Aunt in the future . ”
Yingzi’s mother saw Bai Zhi was kind and pleasing, so her heart was full of joy . Why didn’t she find this girl charming before?
Yingzi’s mother then took the bamboo basket in Yingzi’s hands and put it on the board, where Zhao Lan was sitting: “There are no many good things in the mountains . You both suffered from injuries . The Bai Family don’t give you many foods . I have a few hens in my house, so I picked up some eggs and decided to give it to you two . You should eat these eggs to nourish your health . ”
The mountain people were poor . Only when it’s annual festival, they eat special food like meat . So, the villagers who don’t treasure much the eggs only depends on eating it every day to nourish their body .Zhao Lan hurriedly said: “Yingzi’s niang, you take these eggs back . How can we take these eggs? We understand your intention . ”
Yingzi’s mother said: “These are nothing but only a few pieces of eggs . These eggs came from our own hens . We still have some at home . You don’t need to worry . ”
Bai Zhi smiled, then said: “If that is the case, then we won’t be polite . But, we will only borrow it today, in the future, when we get rich, we will return them all to you . ”
Yingzi’s mother happily nodded her head: “Okay, it’s a deal . ”
After exchanging a one or two more sentences, the mother and daughter left .
When Zhao Lan and Bai Zhi were the only people left inside . They immediately uncover the cloth on the bamboo basket . They saw at least a dozen eggs . The picture of a poached egg immediately appeared in their mind . Bai Zhi greedily swallowed her saliva . And she couldn’t help but sigh in this .
She was very ashamed of herself . She was a famous doctor in the 23rd century . Her annual salary was over a million yuan . So, what delicious food she hasn’t eaten in her life? But now, just because of a few raw eggs, she swallowed her saliva?
“Niang, we need to hide these eggs . Yingzi’s niang just said she went to the Bai Family . The Bai Family knew she will bring us something . With their character, they will surely chase after these eggs . We shouldn’t give them any . ”
Zhao Lan looked at the empty small cabin with four walls, then she worriedly asked: “Where can we hide these eggs in such a small place?”
Zhao Lan who woke up early, but seeing Bai Zhi was still asleep . She decided to go out the bed quietly and prepare a water to wash her face . However, when she just stood on the ground, Bai Zhi climbed up and rubbed her eyes: “Niang, you just rest, I’ll go get the water . ”.
