"Don't be nervous. There are many gods in this world, and not all the people who come to me for treatment are humans. Whether they are humans, gods or ghosts, they are all the same patients in my eyes. I only care about the treatment, I don't care about anything else."
Bai Yihe's expression did not change at all, and even the tone of his voice was no different from usual. He was not affected by Qu Yao at all.
"It's all the same?" Qu Yao asked back.
She had never believed in the saying 'It's all the same'.
There was once someone who looked very similar to Bai Yinghe who had said the same thing.
'Everything in the world is the same. You are not different in my eyes. Therefore, you should not feel that you are different from everything. Let go of the obsession in your heart and everything will go as you wish.'
These words lingered in Qu Yao's mind for eighteen years like a spell. It was because she listened to this man's words that she put down the butcher's knife and was locked in the bottom of the well and tortured for three years.
She treated all living things like her. She treated herself like all living things, but all living things did not treat her the same.
Everyone wanted her to die.
When she wanted everyone to die, that person appeared. When everyone wanted her to die, that person never appeared again.
This time, not only did she leave the demon world for revenge, there was also a more important thing. She wanted to find the person who had asked her to let go of her obsession and follow the immortal's arrangements to enter the demon-locking well. She wanted to personally ask that person.., was she the same as everything in the world?
"All the same..." Qu Yao seemed to have lost her soul. She did not know when she had come out of Bai Yihe's room. She only knew that when she came back to her senses, she had already arrived at the herb field in the backyard.
An Er hurriedly stopped Qu Yao. "Hey, Hey, hey...Watch out, don't step on it. These are Sir's treasures!"
Ever since Qu Yao had arrived, he had never given Qu Yao any good looks.
"You really are a worrisome person. In order to find medicine for your illness, sir risked his life to go to the precipice to help you pick herbs. He fell to such a state and almost died! Yet, you came here to destroy sir's painstaking efforts!"
He plucked the last stalk of medicine. "Leave this place quickly! Otherwise..."
"He fell so badly because he's picking medicine for me?" Jing Yao clenched the medicine bottle in her hand tightly and returned to Bai Yihe's room.
Bai Yihe was applying medicine for himself with his upper body bare. He could not see the wound and could only apply it based on his feelings. After hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, he tried to call out, "An Er? Is that you? Help me apply the medicine. I can't touch the rest."
There was no reply from the door. A moment later, footsteps gradually approached.
Qu Yao did not say a word as she helped Bai Yihe apply the medicine. There were several abrasions on his back, and fresh blood was forming on the wounds.
Fortunately, the golden birthmark was not injured. She was once again attracted by Bai Yihe and the birthmark that was like golden light.
"The birthmark on your back is really beautiful," She could not help but say.
The other party's body stiffened. "Qu Yao?"
"Can't it be me?"
"No, I'm just a little surprised. Why didn't you say anything when you came in?"
"Didn't I already say?" Wasn't it a compliment to say that his birthmark was beautiful?
"..."
Bai Yihe put on his clothes that were draped around his waist. "Do I have a birthmark on my back?"
"You don't know?" Even if he was not blind and could not see his back, someone must have told him. "Didn't your parents tell you?"
The air was quiet for a moment, then Bai Yihe said, "I don't have parents." He smiled faintly. "I was born without parents, and no one has seen my body, so I didn't know I had a birthmark behind me."
It was Qu Yao's turn to be quiet when she heard this.
She understood what it was like to be born without a mother, to be without a father before the age of three, to be alone with her sister. In the end, she was forced into a dead end by her sister. Her father had arranged a child marriage for her in advance, but in the end, he married her sister. The entire Qu family business fell into the hands of outsiders.
It was really not a good feeling to grow up with nothing.
"What does that birthmark look like?" Bai Yihe was not affected by the heavy topic, and his tone was still relaxed.
