Chapter 3 - CHAPTER-3

The woman in white saw the clay figure lying there motionless, and a trace of impatience appeared on her pretty face. In her opinion, this person peeping at her bathing was already despicable and shameful, and now he was pretending to faint when he was dying, which made him even more annoying.

"Get up." The woman in white moved her sword down and placed the tip of the sword against the chest of the clay figure.

The person on the ground still did not move at all. The woman in white had to put away her sword and squat down. Her white fingers like green onions gently placed on the wrist of the clay figure. The pulse was weak and slow...

The person seemed to have really fainted. This person was so weak that he could only wait to die on Fengjue Mountain, which ordinary people could not climb. There was no need for her to do anything, so as not to dirty her sword.

The woman in white withdrew her hand and was about to get up and leave, but her eyes were attracted by a square jade hanging on the waist of the clay figure. She slowly reached out and took the square jade in her hand, gently wiped off the dirt on the jade, and a word "Zhao" was clearly engraved on it.

She had seen this square jade before!

"Zhao Huaining?" The white-clothed woman's expression moved slightly, and she slowly moved her eyes to the clay face. After looking at it for a long time, she raised her hand to wipe off the dirt on the clay figure's face. As the dirt was wiped off one after another, the outline of the face became clearer and clearer.

The white-clothed woman stopped her hand and stared at the familiar face for a moment. It was really her! When she thought of the other party lying on it and looking at her body, a blush appeared on Bai Jing's face.

She bit her lip, and a complicated look flashed in her eyes. Logically, she should save Zhao Huaining. After all, Zhao Huaining's mother was her enlightenment teacher when she was young, but... The

white-clothed woman hesitated for a moment, raised her hand to tie the belt, and finally carried Zhao Huaining on her back. She held the other party with her right hand and held the sword in her left hand. She walked to the stone pond tree, inserted the sword into the scabbard, took it out and tied it under her waist, then bent down and held a pair of white shoes with dark lotus patterns in her hand.

The water in the stone pool was flowing down. The woman in white turned around and left with Zhao Huaining on her back. The sun in the west stretched her shadow very long...

The woman in white seemed to be very familiar with the road here. She shuttled through the dense forest. After a while, she walked into a spacious cave with Zhao Huaining on her back.

There was a row of bamboo fences in front of the cave. There were bamboo beds and tables and chairs inside. There was a pair of bowls and chopsticks on the table. It looked like someone lived there often.

The woman in white put Zhao Huaining next to the firewood in the corner, then got up and left. She found some medicinal herbs in the forest, washed them, and threw them into the earthenware jar to make a fire and boil them.

The firewood was crackling under the earthenware jar, and the smell of medicine soon spread throughout the cave.

Zhao Huaining leaned against the stone wall of the cave. She felt the heat of the fire. She choked after smelling the smell of medicine in her nose, and her eyes slowly raised at this moment.

In sight, a woman in white was sitting in front of the fire.

Gradually, the memories before she fainted quickly flashed through Zhao Huaining's mind. She glanced at the woman cautiously, feeling very lucky to have survived the sword.

"Thank you for sparing my life, heroine." Zhao Huaining felt very uncomfortable, and moved her cracked lips to thank her.

The woman in white had already noticed that Zhao Huaining had woken up, but she was stunned when she heard the words, heroine? Zhao Huaining had never called her like this before, and for a moment she couldn't tell whether it contained any teasing.

"Drink the medicine first." The woman in white spoke slowly. She picked up a bowl with a broken edge from the side, washed it, and poured the boiled medicine into it.

"Here." The woman in white handed the medicine to Zhao Huaining.

"Thank you." Zhao Huaining endured the discomfort and raised his hands to take it. After blowing it cool, he tilted his head back and drank it all.

Seeing this, the woman in white had a flash of surprise in her eyes. Zhao Huaining was a well-known germaphobe. Not only was the bowl broken, but she usually used it to feed small animals in the mountains. Logically, Zhao Huaining would never accept drinking medicine in such a broken bowl, but this person did not show any disgust throughout the whole process.

Moreover, everyone in the academy knew that Zhao Huaining was afraid of bitterness and hated to drink medicine, but the way he did it just now was not afraid of bitterness at all.

"Lady, can you give me some more?" Zhao Huaining felt very uncomfortable. She marched and fought all year round, and sometimes she would take military doctors and soldiers to the mountains to collect herbs for backup. Therefore, she could smell that the medicine the woman gave her was a qi-replenishing medicine. In order to stop being so weak, she raised the broken bowl forward.

The woman in white was even more confused, but she still turned around and took the earthen jar to pour it into the bowl.

Zhao Huaining blew it cool and drank it again.

"Are you feeling better?" The woman in white asked.

Zhao Huaining closed his eyes and said, "I feel better now. Thank you, lady."

"Since you feel better now, you must be able to think normally. I'll give you two choices. Either I kill you or I dig out your eyes. You choose." The woman in white stood aside and looked at Zhao Huaining intently. In fact, she didn't want to kill her, otherwise she wouldn't have saved her. But after she saw her body, she couldn't find a reason to let her go.

Zhao Huaining opened her eyes in shock. She thought she was let go because she was a girl. Why did she have to settle the score?

"Lady, I'm a girl too." Zhao Huaining replied with a trembling heart, regardless of the discomfort she felt.

The woman in white frowned slightly when she heard this, and said, "What does this have to do with whether you are a girl or not?"

"Of course it has something to do with it. We are all girls. I have what you have... It's not a crime punishable by death for girls to glance at each other!" Zhao Huaining said weakly. She thought the woman in white would let her go because they were all girls, but when she saw the woman's expression getting colder and colder, her heart sank to the bottom.

The woman in white saw that Zhao Huaining not only had no apology, but also made light of the fact that he had peeked at her body with a glance. The more she listened, the angrier she became. She turned around and picked up the sword and drew it out. Zhao Huaining was shocked when she saw this.

She didn't know why the other party suddenly wanted to kill her. When the bright sword edge was getting closer and closer to her, she gritted her teeth and pulled open the belt in front of her and pulled the collar to both sides.

The woman in white obviously didn't expect the other party to do this. She was shocked and quickly stopped and turned around.

"What are you doing?" The cold voice of the woman in white came into Zhao Huaining's ears.

"I looked at you, so I'll let you look back. This way, we've all seen each other, and it's fair." After Zhao Huaining said that, he saw the woman suddenly turned her head and glared at her, frightening her so much that her back was pressed tightly against the stone wall in the cave. She said nervously, "You, if you think I'm covered in mud and can't see clearly, I can go outside to wash and let you look, but, after you look, you, don't kill me, and don't dig out my eyes, okay?"

The woman in white had a few strands of anger and depression under her cold expression. After a while, she put the sword back into the scabbard and said coldly, "Shameless."

Zhao Huaining saw this and knew that the woman had given up. The breath in his heart was relieved, and the whole person slid down the wall of the cave a few inches.

"Thank you." Zhao Huaining said with lingering fear. Now that the other party was stronger than her, it was always right to thank her more. As long as she could live, let alone calling her shameless, she would have no objection even if she cursed her ancestors.

The woman in white lowered her eyes. To be honest, she could not deny that she saw the other person's appearance when he opened his clothes. So, it would be untenable to dig out his eyes.

But when did Zhao Huaining become so cunning and shameless?

"Don't thank me. If I find you doing shameless things, I will kill you." The woman in white put down her sword, picked up the earthen jar and poured all the medicine into the broken bowl, and then took it to wash.

Zhao Huaining looked at the other party weakly, and asked angrily: "May I ask your name, lady?"

The woman in white who was putting rice into the earthenware jar was stunned when she heard this, and then she said coldly: "You ask even though you know it!"

Zhao Huaining was stunned, and then she carefully recalled it, but after thinking about it for a long time, she really didn't have any impression of the woman in front of her. If she had seen her before, she should have remembered her clearly based on her kung

fu. "I really don't know the female knight." Zhao Huaining said, "I have always remembered beautiful women at a glance. If I had seen the female knight before, I would have recognized her at first sight."

Slippery tongue!!!

The woman in white complained expressionlessly, looked at Zhao Huaining and asked: "You are not Zhao Huaining?"

"Yes, you, you know me?" Zhao Huaining was surprised. Could it be that she was seen by the other party on her way back to Beijing in triumph? This is also possible. After all, she is a victorious general. Whenever she enters the city in triumph, there are always people lining the streets to welcome her. Maybe this woman has glanced at her in the crowd. Doesn't

that mean that this woman admired her in her heart? Zhao Huaining felt happy when he thought so.

When the woman in white saw that she admitted that she was Zhao Huaining, she turned her head away. If the other party pretended not to know her, then she would just pretend not to know her. After all, she was too lazy to pay attention to her.

When Zhao Huaining saw that the other party ignored her, she drank the medicine quietly. Then she held the wall and tried to stand up. She straightened her legs little by little, but as soon as her left foot stepped out, she couldn't support it and fell down.

The woman in white was quietly cooking white porridge. She didn't look back when she heard the sound. When the rice fragrance filled the air, she raised her hand to serve herself a bowl and sat there eating it in small bites.

Zhao Huaining fell down and felt that she was about to go back to the underworld to see the King of Hell. She lay there motionless for a long time before she grabbed the broken bowl and crawled towards the woman in white.

"Lady." Zhao Huaining said angrily, "This rice porridge smells so good..."

The eyes of the woman in white slowly fell on Zhao Huaining. She was covered in mud, and her black hair was all gathered by the mud, just like the mop used by monks in temples to mop the floor.

"You are too weak, and you look hungry for more than two or three meals. Eat less." The woman in white gave Zhao Huaining half a bowl while admonishing.

Maybe Zhao Huaining was too miserable, the woman in white felt sympathetic, so she didn't make it difficult for her to eat.

Zhao Huaining held the broken bowl and stared at the woman in white. She had been cold since she woke up, but when she spoke just now, she felt that this woman was very gentle. Although her voice was still cold, it sounded in her ears like... as gentle as when her mother coaxed her to eat before she died.

The woman in white knew that Zhao Huaining had been looking at her. She tightened her grip on the spoon and wanted to pretend that she didn't know. However, the other person's gaze made her more and more uncomfortable, so she had to turn her head and look into his eyes.

"If you are not hungry, you can give me the porridge back."

The woman's voice was as cold as an ice hole in the winter.

Zhao Huaining lowered her head and drank it. As soon as the porridge entered her mouth, she felt smooth and comfortable all over. For the first time, after drinking it, she licked the bowl clean.

....

The woman in white looked at the other person licking the broken bowl in circles, stunned. Is this still the Zhao Huaining in her impression?

"This is the first time I feel that white porridge is so delicious." Zhao Huaining smiled happily. She turned her head to look at the woman in white, only to see that she was originally looking at her, but this time she turned her head away when she saw her looking at her.

Zhao Huaining found it very interesting. She lay down beside the fire and said, "Today, I am fortunate to have the kindness of the heroine to allow me to have a meal. Please tell me your name so that I can repay you in the future."

"Su Zhiqiu." The woman in white said expressionlessly. She and Zhao Huaining knew each other, but Zhao Huaining kept asking her name. She wanted to ignore him directly, but she wanted to know what tricks Zhao Huaining would play next.

Zhao Huaining was stunned when she heard it: "Su Zhiqiu, this name is familiar."

Su Zhiqiu heard her murmur and raised a sneer at the corner of her mouth. She thought the other party would say something, but it turned out to be just an old and worn-out excuse! ! !

"Su Zhiqiu... Where have I heard of her? Hey~~~" Zhao Huaining was talking when her hand suddenly shook and the broken bowl fell to the ground. She squirmed on the ground like a silkworm pupa.

Su Zhiqiu frowned and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Zhao Huaining said while squirming, "Something crawled in through my trouser leg and bit me."

Su Zhiqiu saw that the other person's muddy face had turned red and sweat had appeared on his forehead, so she asked immediately, "Where is that thing?"

"It's under my butt. I, I can't pull it off. Can you help me?" Zhao Huaining screamed in pain. She desperately reached back with her left and right arms, but the thing was stuck to her and couldn't be pulled off.

Su Zhiqiu, who was squatting beside Zhao Huaining, paused as soon as she stretched out her hand, her fair face flushed red...

"It's, it's under my butt???"

How to get this?
