Ling'er pushed open the secret door and walked in. She raised the candle and took a look, feeling shocked. There is actually a small cubicle here. The cubicle is not big, and there is only room for a small bed in addition to the corridor. She slowly approached the crib, and a strong smell of blood wafted over. Ling'er felt pain in her heart. There was a thick quilt piled randomly on the bed, which was a bit messy. The low cabinet beside the bed was filled with medicine bottles. Ling'er picked up a few bottles and looked at them. In addition to trauma medicine, they were also painkillers. This made Ling'er feel even more distressed. There was an incense burner next to the medicine bottle. When Ling'er got closer and smelled it, it smelled like sandalwood. Ling'er walked forward and saw a wardrobe. She opened the door and held the candle close to shine. Half of the neatly stacked clothes in the wardrobe were cyan robes and the other half were white coats. Both the middle coat and the robe seemed to have been specially scented, exuding the pleasant smell of sandalwood. Ling'er gently stroked these green robes and thought, "It turns out that this is where Qi Yang put on his green clothes and mask and went out to do heroic deeds. It was also in this small, closed space that he endured all kinds of injuries. Self-healing. As for that cave, he was afraid that the blood would flow all the way to Qi's house and reveal his identity, so he specifically found a place to stop the bleeding and clean himself up."
Ling'er wiped it away I couldn't help but shed tears as I closed the closet door. Next to the wardrobe was a narrow staircase, and Ling'er wanted to know where it led. She was about to look for answers when she heard footsteps outside the cubicle. The footsteps were coming straight to the cubicle. Ling'er was shocked and hurriedly blew out the candles and ducked into the small space under the stairs.
Immediately afterwards, the secret door was pushed open and closed. The visitor didn't light a lamp, but he was very familiar with the compartment. He walked straight to the bed and stopped.
Ling'er has slowly adapted to the dim light in the compartment, and she can vaguely tell that the person is a woman.
At this time, the woman was arranging the quilt on the small bed and folding it neatly at the end of the bed. After arranging the quilt, the woman took out a pile of clothes from the bamboo basket she brought with her and placed it on the bed. Then she bent down, pulled out a bamboo basket from under the bed, and poured the clothes inside into the newly vacated bamboo basket. . Then, the woman pushed the bamboo basket back under the bed. She picked up the pile of clothes on the bed and walked towards the closet.
Ling'er was so anxious that she quickly held her breath.
The woman got closer and closer, and Ling'er discovered from her expression and behavior that she was actually a blind person, which made Ling'er feel a little relieved.
Walking to the closet, the woman raised her hand that was not holding clothes to confirm the position of the cabinet door handle, then opened the cabinet door and put the robes and middle coats in her hands into the corresponding places. position. Then, she turned around, but didn't take a step immediately. She slowly turned her head in Ling'er's direction.
Ling'er was horrified, had she discovered me?
The woman did not say anything, but turned back and walked towards the bamboo basket she placed on the ground. Then he picked up the bamboo basket and walked out of the compartment.
Ling'er felt completely relieved when she felt that the woman had left Qi Mansion through the back door. Ling'er came out of the small space under the stairs, stood up and rubbed her sore waist. She lit the candle again,When I walked to the bed, I saw that the bed had been tidied up and there was no strong smell of blood just now. She bent down and pulled out the bamboo basket under the bed, but it was empty.
Ling'er knew that the woman just now came to take away the blood-stained clothes and send back clean clothes. At the same time, she also guessed Qi Yang's good intentions in asking a blind man to take care of these things, because the blind man could not see the color of the robe.
Because of the sudden appearance of the woman, Linger forgot to continue checking where the stairs led to the second floor. She was even more curious about where the woman was going when she left the back door
Ling'er hurriedly left the compartment and followed her.
Although the woman is blind, her steps are not slow at all, and she is obviously very familiar with the surrounding terrain.
Linger searched for a long time before finding her by the river. She seemed to be planning to wash clothes. Ling'er didn't dare to get too close and only dared to observe from a distance. The woman must not be confused by her age. Although she is blind, she dresses herself neatly and decently.
Suddenly, the woman turned around and faced Linger's direction.
Ling'er was shocked, could she hear anything from so far away?
The woman said, "Is that the girl just now?"
Ling'er She was shocked again, it turned out that she had really discovered him just now. Now that everyone had been discovered, Ling'er walked up to the woman calmly.
"Auntie, I was rude just now." Ling'er said apologetically.
The woman smiled and said, "It is indeed the girl just now,"
"How did you know?" Ling'er asked curiously.
"The girl has a faint fragrance of orchids." The woman replied with a smile.
Ling'er thought to herself, "I didn't expect that this aunt not only has great hearing, but also has an extremely keen sense of smell."
"My husband's surname is Zhao, please call me Aunt Zhao. "The woman said 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," Aunt Zhao said. "If she were not a very familiar friend of the second master, she would not stay there."
"Actually, I am just a friend of the second master. Yang's ordinary friend, I accidentally broke into that compartment," Ling'er explained hurriedly, her face slightly red.
"Haha. People who can come in and out of Qi's house at will are the second master's very familiar friends." Aunt Zhao said.
Ling'er thought to herself, "The door to Qi's house has not been closed. Isn't it normal to be able to come and go at will?"
Aunt Zhao seemed to have guessed what Ling'er was thinking and smiled. Said, "Many things are not as simple as they appear on the surface."
Ling'er nodded in understanding, and said in surprise, "Can you help me hide the fact that I accidentally broke into the cubicle?" Yang?"
Aunt Zhao smiled and said, "If the second master didn't ask specifically, I would hide it for you."
Ling'er thanked him, thinking that Qi Yang should You won't find out.
"Hey, talking to the girl, I almost forgot about serious things. I have to take advantage of this moment when there is 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
Aunt Zhao opened the lid of the bamboo basket without hesitation and poured out all the clothes inside.
The bloody aura spread instantly, just as Ling'er expected, it was all the blood-stained clothes that Qi Yang had changed. The blue robe was okay, but the blood stains on those white robes were really shocking.
Ling'er felt pain in her heart when she looked at these clothes.
Aunt Zhao wetted the clothes one by one with a normal expression, applied the soaked and pounded soap locust on them, picked up the stick and hit them hard.
Ling'er thought to herself, "Although Aunt Zhao cannot see, her sense of smell is very good. Why can she remain calm when faced with clothes that smell of blood?"
Aunt Zhao suddenly stopped what she was doing and said, "The second master doesn't know how to cherish himself. We servants can't criticize him. Please ask the girl to take more care of him." After saying that, she turned to Ling'er.
Ling'er looked at Aunt Zhao's face, and the same expression made Ling'er feel her pain and helplessness.
"Yes." Ling'er responded softly.
Aunt Zhao then smiled happily.
Ling'er looked at the cyan robe in Aunt Zhao's hand and asked softly, "Do you know the color of the robe in your hand?"
"What's the important color? "Aunt Zhao said with a smile, "It's enough to know that the second master is a good person." Ling'er understood that although Aunt Zhao was blind in her eyes, she was not blind in heart. She knew everything.
