After the mother and daughter finished their meal, Bai Jinyao changed the topic by asking about raising rabbits.
"Mother, did you go to Auntie Li's house and ask for the method of raising rabbits?"
Bai Jinyao took out the pregnant female rabbit from the basket.
Mrs. Bai said, "I did. It sounded quite simple. I think we have everything we need at home."
"Then, mother, why don't you settle the rabbit first while I bring the food to Tieniu. His medicine is already ready."
Bai Jinyao was worried that her mother would have nothing to do and let her thoughts run wild again, so she decided to keep her mother busy.
When Mrs. Bai heard this, she immediately became enthusiastic.
"Alright, you can go. I will definitely settle the rabbit!"
Bai Jinyao carried the dishes and medicine into the bridal chamber. Luo Xichu was still lying down with his eyes closed, but he looked in better shape now.
He seemed to have heard the sound of Bai Jinyao pushing the door open and slowly opened his eyes. He propped his body up and leaned against the bed.
"Tieniu, how are you feeling? I can see that you look a lot better now."
Bai Jinyao asked casually and nimbly placed the food on the small table next to the bed.
"Yes, I feel much better."
Luo Xichu felt a little more comfortable and even his tone when talking to Bai Jinyao was much better.
"In a few days, you should be able to recover and leave. You can rest assured. If you need anything, just let me know. I'll do my best."
She thought this would be her last few moments with him and she would not have any more interactions with him after he left.
Just thinking about it made her happy!
Bai Jinyao couldn't hide the happiness in her tone and even her steps seemed to have become lighter.
Luo Xichu looked at Bai Jinyao's happy expression and furrowed his eyebrows. He suddenly felt a little strange.
Back then, Bai Jinyao had locked him up and refused to let him leave.
Although she had signed a contract with him, he still did not believe that Bai Jinyao was willing to let him go.
After all, as long as he was around, Bai Jinyao did not have to pay the single tax of ten taels.
But now, Bai Jinyao's happiness was visibly clear to him.
It was obvious that she was happy that he could recover and leave.
He wondered if Bai Jinyao had earned money.
He assumed she might be able to afford to pay the ten taels of silver now.
So it didn't matter if he left or stayed now.
Luo Xichu's expression was a little complicated, but he didn't think he wanted to stay here.
He had wanted to leave for a long time.
"Okay then, thank you."
Luo Xichu lowered his head and ate his food.
"Don't mention it. However, Tieniu, I just met a gentleman in the mountain where I found you. He asked me if I had seen an injured man in the mountain.
"I think he's talking about you, but I don't know if it's someone you know."
Bai Jinyao recalled what happened in the mountain and told Luo Xichu about it.
Luo Xichu was eating when he suddenly heard this and was stunned for a moment.
He swallowed the food in his mouth and put down his chopsticks before he asked Bai Jinyao again.
"You said you met a man in the mountain? What did that man look like?"
"That man was wearing black clothes and a black mask. He looked like the bad guys I'd seen before.
He said that he lives in the mountain and is a friend of the injured man. If we find him, he will take him home..."
