If the maid hadn't reminded her, Miss Zheng would not have noticed the handkerchief wrapping the hairpin.
After hearing Dongxiang's words, Miss Zheng turned her eyes.
It's just an ordinary handkerchief, nothing unusual about it.
But when Miss Zheng took a closer look, her expression immediately changed.
Dongxiang said with a smile: "Miss, we are really destined in this world. That day when we came back from the mountain tour, the young lady said that the young master over there was good-looking. It was Dongxiang who threw the young lady's handkerchief away. Well, now his handkerchief is
The handkerchief was returned again. What does this mean? It means that the young lady and the young man were destined to be together in the previous life, and they were both destined by fate."
Miss Zheng held the handkerchief, her eyes were dull, and she looked at it repeatedly for a long time, but she couldn't see a trace of dust.
I think that young master must have kept it well.
Speaking of fate, Miss Zheng's heart skipped a beat. She wondered whether it was God's arrangement to meet such a comfortable-looking young man when she was about to get married.
"Hey!" Miss Zheng sighed and carefully wrapped the hairpin she wanted to wear with her handkerchief.
"Miss, why are you sighing?"
Miss Zheng thought again that the young man had already married. She looked out the window at the blue sky and sighed: "Even if it is fate, it is also a bad fate."
"A bad fate is also fate. Didn't you lament the boredom at home? Having a bad fate is better than playing with these arithmetic beads at home all day long."
These words finally made Miss Zheng feel calm.
She likes this maid, she is older, knows more, is not so reserved, and is more like a friend who can talk.
"They've all left, and I don't know if they'll come back again? Look at how frightened he was last night, and he said goodbye in a hurry this morning. Thinking about it this way, it seems like I've been scornful of him."
"Keke... Miss, don't worry. Isn't the old man still there? There is an old man asking him to play chess, and the miss is still worried about not being able to see him? If he doesn't come to our house, we will go out to look for him. He can't hide even if he doesn't.
Lose."
…
Bai Song has returned to the inn.
The maid named Caihe came over in a panic and asked, "Master Bai, why are you back now?"
"It's just a night's delay. Where is Niu Chongtian?"
"Brother Niu didn't come home all night, so I'm very worried."
"Don't worry, he'll be fine."
Bai Song comforted him casually, but he was muttering in his heart.
After waiting at the inn for another half day, Niu Da was still nowhere to be seen.
But suddenly I saw Baldy Hu coming upstairs asking passers-by.
Bai Song quickly greeted him, and the bald man saw Bai Song on the stairs and quickened his pace.
Bai Song pulled Hu Baldy into the room: "When did you arrive?"
"It arrived last night."
"Then how did you find this place?"
"Hey, Master Bai, hurry up and follow me. Niu Da is injured. It was Niu Da who told me to come here to find Master Bai."
"Brother Niu is injured?" Caihe interjected with concern.
The bald man looked at this beautiful maid and said nothing.
Bai Song felt that something had happened, so he called Caihe together: "Let's go and take a look right away."
The three of them left immediately, and on the way the bald man told them what had happened.
It turned out that Niu Da met with the people led by Hu Baldzi last night and hurriedly went to find the local gangsters in Jixian County to cause trouble. As a result, the two groups of people had a fight.
Niu Da rushed too hard and was beaten by a group of people. He was injured all over his body. Now he could only find a place nearby to hide and wait for Bai Song to treat him.
Bai Song frowned after hearing this, thinking that this great guy is still so reckless. Even if he wants to grab territory from others, he still has to come back and tell him that he has to make arrangements himself.
If you confront someone head-on so rashly, what else is it if you are not seeking death?
After walking for half an hour, the group finally saw the rest of the group at the end of Flower Street by the Wei River in the south of the city.
This is a garbage dump, where the remaining garbage from Flower Street is piled up waiting to be transported out of the city.
Sometimes the officials would dump all the dregs into the river if they thought it was troublesome.
But the output of garbage in ancient times is not comparable to that in modern times. Even so, the entire Wei River is as clear as water, and there is no trace of pollution.
Where there is a lot of garbage, there are a lot of beggars. You can see temporary shelters built by beggars everywhere, some of which have been abandoned for a long time.
Baldy Bear and his group found a relatively clean place to settle down. There were more than ten people in the group, all of them were injured and looked very embarrassed.
On the way, Bai Song had already bought some medicine for his injuries, and without saying much, he started treating everyone's wounds.
Niu Da was the most seriously injured, with more than a dozen stab wounds on his body and countless bruises from being beaten with sticks.
Cai Heguang burst into tears just looking at her. Her caring look made her look like she was someone else's daughter-in-law.
Fortunately, this man had nothing but a hard life. After Bai Song's treatment, his vitality recovered by 30%, and he was able to stand up and walk.
The stench on Zhazi Street was so bad that Bai Song didn't want to stay here any longer, so he called everyone to arrange a place for these people to live.
Bai Song underestimated the living standards of Ji County and arranged accommodation for more than a dozen people. Even the most shabby house in the county cost a lot of money.
Almost all the remaining ten taels of silver were spent here.
A group of people lived in a simple house. Although it seemed crowded, everyone said that Mr. Bai was very particular.
The place where this group of people lived was Hua Street to the south, and a quarter of an hour's walk to the north was the inn where Bai Song lived.
A little further to the west is the main residence of the Zheng family in the city. It is convenient to inquire about the situation of the main residence when nothing happens.
After everything was settled, Bai Song gathered everyone together and asked them what happened last night.
Regarding what happened last night, it was all an impromptu idea by Mr. Niu, and the group of injured brothers behind him didn't know what was going on.
They followed Master Bai to pursue their future. Knowing that Niu Da was Master Bai's personal follower, naturally Niu Da let him do whatever he wanted.
It is better to ask a group of people to fight than to ask them to go to the mountains to collect medicine. They are familiar with the job of fighting.
But these little brothers don't know that the other party has twice as many people as them.
How can this be done?
So now that things have come to a point, many people feel resentful and feel that they have been cheated, but they don't feel comfortable opening their mouths.
Niu Dahou then explained that it turned out that among this group of people was the thief who killed Cai He that night.
Niu Da is reckless and wants to avenge Cai He.
Caihe burst into tears after hearing this, but the other brothers stopped and said why should they risk their lives for a woman.
One group of people was arguing endlessly, and Bai Song interrupted: "Okay, don't argue anymore! Now that the dispute has been made, we have suffered a loss, but we can't just let it go."
"Master Bai, are we still going to fight them?" one person whispered, "There are many of them, probably more than thirty or forty. If we are trying to fight here, we might as well go back to the mountains to collect medicine."
"It's just... oh, now I'm beaten into a pig's head, I'm really suffocating."
"We suffered a loss this time. Next time, if I personally show up, I will definitely make them suffer."
Bai Song was relieved that there was nothing he could do with such a ragtag group of people on the stall. If he wanted to succeed, he had to rely on himself.
No, you have to rely on your own space.
There is no borrowed space for many days, and the energy is full. You can try some novel items to cure the gangsters in Jixian County.
After hearing what Niu Da said that there were people in the group who had done something dirty to Cai He, Bai Song also confirmed that he wanted to take action against this group of people.
The matter of buying salt in Jixian County has not been settled, and the matter of collecting lotus must have details that have not been noticed.
Faintly, Bai Song felt that he had grasped the key to the matter.
If you want more breaking news, just catch the killer in the night and ask him about it.
…
Niu Da's injury has not yet healed, so a group of people have to rest.
Caihe had to stay and take care of Brother Niu, so Bai Song could only return to the inn alone.
For the next two days, Bai Song stayed in the inn and concentrated on eating to replenish energy.
Seeing the energy in the space filling up day by day, Bai Song also thought of many relatively powerful weapons.
Bai Song tried firearms at least ten times, but found nothing, not even a bullet could be transformed.
It is estimated that this type of object is too lethal and requires too much energy.
Bai Song could only keep lowering the standard, and finally had a flash of inspiration and took out a stun device.
This thing has limited lethality, but it is extremely intimidating. It cannot kill people, but it is still very useful in scaring people.
Especially when dealing with a group of ancient gangsters who have never seen the world.
After two days of rest, Niu Da and his group had almost recovered.
Bai Song put on the electric shock device and left the inn with confidence, went to the rental place of his men, and asked Baldy Bear to go and declare a challenge to those gangsters. Tonight, there will be revenge and grievances.
…
Time turns to late night.
The night sky was covered with dark clouds and there was a hint of thunder.
In the dark and quiet long alley, Bai Song glanced at the thunder in the sky, shook the electric shock device hidden in his sleeve, pressed the switch, heard a popping sound, and instantly felt that he was the God of Thunder coming to the world.
The group of people behind him did not have Bai Song's confidence. They knew that there were many people on the other side and they were all wounded. If a conflict broke out, they would be in trouble.
It's past three o'clock, and no one has been seen in the alley for a long time.
Bai Song looked at the sky, frowned, and turned around to ask Hu Baldy: "Why hasn't anyone come yet? Have you heard the message?"
Baldy Bear also frowned: "Master Bai, these words must have arrived, and the time is correct."
"Master Bai, don't they have any tricks up their sleeves?" one person asked weakly.
"Wait and see." Bai Songyi frowned, a little impatient.
When the rain comes, it hurts the bones even more than the heavy snow.
A group of people were shivering with cold in the street, and they were all drowned.
Bai Song spat, thinking that the other party wouldn't know that it was going to rain tonight, and was he deliberately letting them suffer here?
If that were the case, it would be a huge shame.
Just as he was thinking about it, someone from behind shouted: "Master Bai, someone is coming from the front!"
Bai Song was shocked and looked forward.
Deep in the long, dark alley, there were several darker figures moving slowly.
"How many people are there?" Bai Song wondered.
Choosing such an alley is thinking that it will be beneficial to the party with fewer people. The other party cannot hide people. There are not many people who can really meet, and no matter how many people are behind, they can't make up for it.
The electric shock device also works well in such terrain.
But who would have thought that only a few people came from the other party!
"What do you mean?" Bai Song asked again, calling the little brother behind him, "Go up and have a look."
A group of people came up aggressively, but for some unknown reason, the few people who came were actually retreating.
As we got closer, someone from the front shouted: "Don't... don't do anything! We... we have something to talk about."
Something is wrong. These people are as timid as grandchildren, as if they are afraid of the group of people Bai Song is leading.
