Chapter 315: Chapter 315 Take Your Feelings

Madam Zhou had already suffered an injury, but the emotional pain was greater. After waking up, she became very agitated for a while, and after talking with Wufu for so long, she was completely drained.

Wufu managed to persuade her to lie back down, and just then Hongyu brought in some hot water. She personally wrung out a handkerchief to wipe Madam Zhou’s face and hands, and fed her a Medicine Pill to calm her nerves given by Bai Xiaobai, and then Madam Zhou fell into a deep sleep.

"Wufu, remember, you are porcelain and he is a clay pot, don’t be impulsive," Madam Zhou reminded her as her consciousness faded away.

Seeing her asleep, Wufu wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said to Hongyu, "Stay here and watch over Madam, don’t leave her side, and pay attention to any changes."

It was this incident that made Wufu realize she could only rely on so few people, with just Hongyu being one of them. She couldn’t summon help when she needed it.

Hongyu nodded, "Miss, rest assured, I will not leave even for a single step."

Wufu stood up and walked outside.

At this moment outside, the sun was dipping to the west, spreading a blaze of red across the sky, but Wufu found it piercingly bright.

Ah Jiu and the others had not left yet, still sitting on the small stools in the courtyard.

Wufu approached them and bowed in greeting, "Ninth Master, it is rare for you to visit, and I regret that I cannot entertain you due to my household affairs. I will make amends to Ninth Master another time."

Ah Jiu stood up and asked, "Do you need help?"

Wufu felt warmed by the offer and replied, "Thank you, Ninth Master, but for now, we can manage."

"In that case, I won’t disturb you any longer. As it’s getting late, we will stay in town tonight and head back to the county tomorrow. If there’s anything you need, you can find me at Bishan Inn in town," Ah Jiu said.

Wufu smiled and agreed, then personally saw him out the door.

"Miss, here is the reward for the fierce tiger," Yuan Ye handed over two silver notes, each worth five hundred taels.

Wufu was momentarily surprised, not dwelling on Ah Jiu’s earlier claim of not carrying that much silver. She only accepted one note, saying, "This other half is for the White Ghost Doctor’s reward, to thank him for saving us with his medicine."

Yuan Ye was somewhat surprised by her generosity.

Bai Xiaobai was very pleased. Although Wufu’s five hundred taels were usually not enough to catch his interest, he appreciated her knowing right from wrong and not taking advantage of the situation, which satisfied him.

But Ah Jiu said, "Keep it, the tiger was worth it. You’ve saved me before, and Bai Xiaobai lending a small hand doesn’t amount to much. It’s your mother who needs careful nurturing, and you shouldn’t skimp on the medicinal ingredients."

Wufu pursed her lips, realizing that was indeed the case. Although she had silver, it would quickly run out if she needed to buy good-quality items.

"With that, I accept Ninth Master’s kindness," Wufu said as she took the silver note and bowed. "If there comes a day when Ninth Master could use Wufu’s help, just say the word."

Ah Jiu smiled, "Our acquaintance is fate; there’s no need for such formalities." He glanced at the dilapidated house in front of him, changed his tone, and said, "You live too remotely here. With no one around to look out for you, it would be sensible to move. Once autumn comes, wild animals are liable to descend from the mountains."

Wufu said, "Yes, once my mother gets better, we will move."

After this incident, she couldn’t stay in this place. Not just here, but Wozi Village was no longer an option either; otherwise, it would drive her to distraction.

"If you need help, have Liu Jin look for Yuan Ye," Ah Jiu added.

Wufu nodded and watched as they left. She didn’t know when they had arrived, but their horses were already at the doorstep; the group rode away.

Not until Ah Jiu and the others disappeared did Wufu glance at the smoke rising from the village, her gaze locking onto a specific spot, her eyes flashing with a fierce, cold light.
