Chapter 52 Life Spirit Pill
52 Life Spirit Pill
The two women who had rushed down finally had a chance to be saved. The moment they collided with the team, they found an opportunity and grabbed the arms of the Dark Guards Team.
Due to the sudden impact, the team swayed in the water twice. Many of the villagers standing in the middle had their feet in the air. Fortunately, Chu Tianbao and Qingfeng used their inner energy on both sides and instantly stabilized the villagers.
The villagers reached out to help Cui Lingyi and Granny w.a.n.g hold on to the rope so that they could stand firmly in the middle of the group.
As Cui Lingyi and Granny w.a.n.g pulled the rope, they coughed out the water that had filled their lungs.
Their feet had been floating, and they were afraid of being washed away again. They walked very slowly, and the entire team slowed down because of the two of them.
When they finally reached the sh.o.r.e and stepped onto firm ground, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
Cui Lingyi, who had escaped after the calamity, collapsed to the ground and hugged Granny w.a.n.g in tears of joy. She was really almost done for.
The villagers’ clothes were all drenched. Fortunately, everyone still had their own clothes in their bags. No one had the time to care about the two of them. They hurriedly wrapped the waterproof cloth around the tree to form a s.p.a.ce so that everyone could have a place to change.
Bai Wutong was the first to go in to change, and Qingfeng was the last to go in to change. Everyone changed into dry clothes and was about to pack up and continue on their way. Cui Lingyi brought Granny w.a.n.g to Bai Wutong and bowed extremely politely. “Thank you for saving me, Madam.”
There were so many people in the team, and everyone addressed Bai Wutong as Madam. Cui Lingyi naturally understood that she was the core figure of this team.
Women who had been educated were indeed different. Before Bai Wutong could see their faces clearly, she already felt that they were not from ordinary families.
Bai Wutong’s gaze landed on Cui Lingyi’s face. In an instant, a word appeared in her mind—the beauty of the world.
She had combed her hair in a married woman’s style and looked to be in her twenties. Even though she was covered in mud, it could not hide her outstanding charm.
She was so beautiful that it made one describe her using scriptures.
Bai Wutong thought that she was quite beautiful. When she saw her, she finally understood the meaning of incomparable.
The Cui family of Qinghe?
‘Sounds like an amazing family.’
Bai Wutong had no memories. She would ask Qingfeng later.
Cui Lingyi seemed to be used to others paying attention to her appearance. She smiled brightly, her eyes moving, and her lively temperament was even more beautiful.
If she were a man, she would probably be mesmerized by Cui Lingyi.
Bai Wutong looked at the old woman beside her. She was in high spirits and stood half a step behind Cui Lingyi like a standard and the most precise ruler.
It was not just the rich. Only the extremely wealthy could raise such a woman.
Bai Wutong shook her head. “It’s all a coincidence.”
They were lucky to have encountered them crossing the river together.
Cui Lingyi smiled charmingly, but her tone was extremely solemn. “Coincidence is also a a favor to us. Madam saved us. If there’s a chance to repay Madam, the Cui family will naturally do our best.”
After Lin Yue checked the team, he came to report, “Madam, we can set off now.”
Those who wanted to repay her kindness were all following her. When she mentioned the word “repay”, Bai Wutong’s scalp turned numb.
Fortunately, Cui Lingyi did not ask her for help. She must have had her own plans.
Bai Wutong waved her hand. “You’re welcome.” She turned to Lin Yue and said, “Let’s be on our way.”
Cui Lingyi immediately retreated to the side with Granny w.a.n.g and watched them leave.
She was polite and knew when to advance and retreat. Such a woman had an unforgettable charm.
Bai Wutong turned to look at her. Cui Lingyi’s back was as straight as a pine tree. She could not help but be moved.
She could not do anything else, but she could give them two sets of dry clothes.
Bai Wutong took out two sets of clothes that she had not worn before and said, “Be careful of catching the cold. Change into them.”
Seeing Bai Wutong take the initiative to hand over clothes to her Mistress, Granny w.a.n.g felt emotional. She really wanted Bai Wutong to bring them along, but she was stopped by Cui Lingyi’s gaze.
Cui Lingyi personally took the clothes from Bai Wutong and pulled out a high quality jade bracelet from her hand. She smiled and said, “I don’t have anything valuable. I hope Madam can accept it.”
She really loved to smile. It was like the sun in the dust, shining brightly.
The jade bracelet on Cui Lingyi’s hand was crystal clear and had an extremely good l.u.s.ter. It was really a loss to be exchanged for two sets of dry clothes.
Bai Wutong waved her hand. “It’s alright. Farewell.”
This time, Bai Wutong was really going to be on her way. She mounted her horse and Chu Tianbao immediately flew up and hugged her from behind.
“Let’s go!”
With Bai Wutong’s order, the team immediately became one. Even the children cooperated as if they had heard a military order.
Just as the team was less than 50 meters away, Qingfeng and the secret guards suddenly fell off their horses at the same time.
This was their third time having this body reaction every other week.
Bai Wutong rushed over. Lin Yue carried Stinky to Madam Yang, grabbed Qingfeng, and shook her. “Hey, hey, wake up! If not, I’ll hit you!”
Not only did Qingfeng not wake up, but she also spat out a mouthful of blood with her eyes closed. Her face was green, and her expression was grimacing in extreme pain.
The words “corroding the heart” sounded uncomfortable enough, but Qingfeng and the others had to endure the pain for several hours.
Afraid that she would bite her tongue, Lin Yue stuffed a handkerchief into her mouth and muttered with a dark gaze, “Don’t waste my handkerchief.”
Previously, there were still carriages that could drag Qingfeng and the others away. Now that even the horses were carrying goods, Bai Wutong had no choice but to make a decision again. “Set up camp on the spot and let’s leave in the morning!”
Cui Lingyi and Granny w.a.n.g leaned forward and looked at the man in Lin Yue’s arms. Their faces instantly turned pale.
Why was the commander of the Dark Guards Team here?
Cui Lingyi recovered from her shock and looked at Chu Tianbao and Bai Wutong.
Who the h.e.l.l were they?
Even the commander of the Dark Guards Team had to escort them on their way?
The pain that Qingfeng suffered could not be relieved with medicine. Bai Wutong could only ask everyone to find a comfortable place for them to lie down.
The pain this time was far worse than the last time. Qingfeng’s veins bulged as she groaned. Bai Wutong frowned, and a hint of helplessness flashed across her heart.
Chu Tianbao helped her ease the furrow between her eyebrows. He wanted his wife to be free from worries.
Bai Wutong forced a smile at him.
Suddenly, Cui Lingyi took out a precious small porcelain bottle from her neck and handed it to Bai Wutong. She said, “This is our Cui family’s secret medicine, the Life Spirit Pill. It has the effect of nourishing one’s Qi and extending one’s lifespan. It can nourish one’s bones, expel poison, and reduce heat. Madam, give it to this young master to try.”
Even if she had resentment towards Qingfeng, Cui Lingyi would never do anything against her conscience.
Bai Wutong had never heard of any medicine that had such an exaggerated effect. Perhaps there was some special ingredient in it that could kill Qingfeng.
Bai Wutong did not take it. Cui Lingyi thought she knew her concerns, so she immediately opened the bottle and poured out the only pill. She split it in half and swallowed one half before saying, “It’s not poisonous.”
