Quick Wear: Explosive Change! The cannon fodder female supporting role is done with it

Chapter 248: Exiled Man's Sister-in-Law 21 (Two in One)

Liu Zong's pupils shrank, and his hands under the pillow suddenly clenched his weapons. He said he didn't know what she was talking about, and that his name was Liu Ying, not Liu Zong. He slightly bent his body, as if ready to attack at any time.

Lin Zhi looked at him and said, "Liu? So you don't have a wife or a family?"

Liu Zong paused, thinking of his wife who had just been married in the capital, his eyes darkened, and he said, "Of course I already have a wife."

Although he didn't know how she was doing in the capital, and they had never lived together, but since they had gotten married, she was his legal wife.

Lin Zhi glanced at him and said, "You are quite honest. I was thinking that if you don't recognize me, I will just ask for a divorce letter and go back to remarry with peace of mind." Looking at his smiling eyes, the corners of her mouth rose slightly.

Liu Zong's eyes were full of confusion, but as he looked at her and saw that she seemed to be in a good mood, something flashed through his mind.

An idea was about to come to my mind, but I couldn't believe it.

"You, what did you say?" His voice trembled.

Lin Zhi looked at his messy hair and face half covered by beard and said, "You look very different from the handsome young man with a jade face praised by people in the capital."

She raised her hand and grabbed the dirty bed that had not been cleaned for a long time, then looked at the bloodstained cloth wrapped around his chest with a look of disgust.

Liu Zong didn't care and stared at her: "Lin?"

His tone was full of disbelief.

Lin Zhi glanced at him and nodded casually: "Yeah."

Liu Zong finally took a closer look at the woman in front of him. On the wedding night, he only lifted the veil and saw a palm-sized white face. He didn't have time to take a closer look at it before the imperial edict from the palace came down, and he had to leave Beijing in a hurry and rush to the border... The woman in front of him had slightly curled red lips, picturesque eyebrows and eyes, and excellent looks.

Although she was wearing coarse linen clothes, one could still see her slender waist, and her elegance and charm.

Vaguely, that inexplicable sense of familiarity was confirmed.

"Grand Master of Imperial Households, Lord Lin's legitimate daughter, Lin Zhi?"

"it's me."

Liu Zong… was filled with complicated feelings, and wanted to ask all kinds of questions, which finally turned into one sentence: "Why are you here?" After asking, countless questions followed. He asked anxiously, "Aren't you in the capital? Where are mother, third brother, younger sister, and eldest sister-in-law?"

"How is home now?"

Lin Zhi looked at him: "What do you think?"

Liu Zong was shocked, as if struck on the head by a stick. Pain gradually flashed in his eyes. The eyes of a tall and strong man could not help but turn red. He asked with difficulty, "Mother, are you here too? And my little sister?"

Lin Zhi nodded: "They are all here. The Liu family was confiscated and exiled. Mother and little sister suffered a lot on the way. Liu Jing's legs were also broken. Now they are all in the village where they were exiled. They have to do labor every month."

The weapon in Liu Zong's hand fell to the ground with a clang. He covered his face with his hands and said in a muffled voice, "I should have thought of it earlier. There was a traitor in the army. Dad and Big Brother's battle plan was leaked. We struggled to hold on, but in the end we were ambushed by the people behind us. I wanted to save them."

"But there were too many enemies, and eventually they became more and more distant. I watched my eldest brother fall and my father be killed."

"I was also besieged and lost consciousness."

There was suppressed pain in her voice: "Two months have passed since I woke up. I secretly got the news. The generals in the army have been replaced. Dad and my elder brother have become the criminals who killed the soldiers... His Majesty will definitely not forgive the Liu family, but I thought you could at least save your lives and stay in the capital."

The capital is too far away from the border, and it is difficult for news to be delivered in time. After waking up, he has been trying hard to find his father and elder brother, hoping that they have survived like himself.

However, the news I received was that my father and elder brother were really dead.

He wanted to ask, didn't her maternal grandparents take her mother away? Did her father, Lord Lin, and her third brother's Yue family and Yu family also watch her third brother's legs being broken?

Fortunately, although the eldest brother is no longer with us, the two children are protected by the eldest sister-in-law and do not have to endure the hardships of exile.

He couldn't help but look at Lin Zhi. His elder sister-in-law had remarried with two children. She had no children, and they had not consummated their marriage. Why didn't she just go back to her parents' home? She even traveled thousands of miles and spent a lot of effort to find him.

An inexplicable feeling rose from the bottom of my heart, a little sour and a little swollen.

Lin Zhi fell silent after hearing his words.

"How did you find me? Also, since mother, younger sister and third brother are all in the village, is it okay for you to come out?" As his wife, she was naturally a prisoner, and it was impossible for her to walk around freely like a person with a clean background.

"I bribed the son of the village head and came out by posing as the peddler's sister."

This sentence contained a lot of information. Liu Zong was a little surprised. Looking at her, he had always thought that she was a conservative official's daughter. He didn't expect that she was completely different from what he imagined and could do such a thing.

He opened his mouth to continue asking.

Lin Zhi interrupted: "Are you sure you don't want to wash up before talking to me?" She glanced at his miserable condition and said, "It's unsightly."

Liu Zong then remembered that he had talked to her for so long despite looking so dirty. His face turned red. Although he had been hanging out with those rough military thugs for many years, he was still very clean. He didn't feel it when he was unconscious, but now he felt suffocated when he smelled it.

It was just that he was too badly injured to move, which made it so ugly: "I'm sorry, but I'm a little hurt, I'm afraid."

Linzhi turned around and said to the little boy who was peeking through the crack in the door outside that if he asked him to help find two people, he would be given five copper coins, and he would also be given copper coins if the people he called helped. The little guy happily responded and left.

The atmosphere in the room was tense just now. Xiaojia was scared and ran out along the wall.

Seeing her arrangement, Liu Zong silently agreed.

After a while, the little boy came over with two half-grown boys. After hearing that they would be paid for their work, they happily started to boil water, poured it into the bathtub, and washed Liu Zong. Their technique was rough, and Liu Zong frowned in pain, but he endured the pain and didn't say a word.

After washing, I changed into the clean and comfortable clothes she brought, and I immediately felt refreshed.

Seeing the razor, he thought about it and shaved the beard on his face one by one. After he was done, he walked back to the room with the help of his two children.

The wooden house was also cleaned by several girls who came later. The beds were changed and the tightly closed windows were opened, allowing the dry mountain breeze to blow in from the windows.

The woman was sitting at the table, fiddling with a few wild chrysanthemums in a broken jar.

There were also strips of cloth and medicine bottles on the table, which were the medicines made by the Liu family.

"Sit down, I'll take care of your injury." She said casually.

Liu Zong nodded and walked over, sitting aside. The woman stood up and walked to him, unbuttoning his clothes neatly, revealing several hideous wounds. One of them was from the chest to the abdomen, deep enough to see the bone.

"Is it so serious?" "Not bad." It was precisely because he was seriously injured that after he disappeared, the traitor thought he was dead somewhere and did not send anyone to look for him. Otherwise, he would not have been able to rest in peace for so long.

The woman frowned her beautiful eyebrows: "For this kind of injury, you just used those ordinary herbs just now? No wonder there is no sign of healing for so long." She just took a look and found that those herbs were just a few very common roadside herbs that farmers knew about for healing. There was no better medicine at all.

It can be said that he did not get infected and die because of his strong healing ability.

But think about it, the one who saved him was just an ordinary peasant girl, so it's understandable.

Without further ado, she first disinfected the wound with alcohol, then applied medicine on it and finally bandaged it with cloth. She was not a doctor so she could only bandage it simply.

The two were very close. She leaned over him to clean his wound. Her beautiful facial features swayed in front of his eyes. Her slightly cool fingertips touched his skin from time to time. His face turned visibly red. He sat upright and did not dare to glance around.

Only occasionally, I had to raise my hands and arms under her command.

When wrapping the bandage, Liu Zong almost hugged him from behind,

"Okay, let's leave it like this for now. I'll find a doctor for you tomorrow." Lin Zhi looked normal and didn't notice his change at all.

Liu Zong was about to nod, but then he realized, "No, I'm hiding here. If someone finds me."

"I'll find someone who keeps a tight lid."

Liu Zong didn't say anything. In fact, he also wanted to recover from his injury as soon as possible, but his injury had not healed and there was nothing he could do.

He did not bring any money when he went to the battlefield, and it was not easy for him to carry the jade pendant representing the descendants of the Liu family. If he was discovered and tracked down here, he would be dead.

The girl who saved him didn't have much money, so he didn't want to trouble her.

The two were silent for a while. Suddenly, Liu Zong noticed that her eyes fell on his face, as if she was observing him repeatedly. He became nervous and rubbed the cloth on his legs nervously with his hands.

He was praised as the Jade-faced Young Man, and naturally had outstanding looks and was very handsome.

Because of the injury, he is now very thin and looks like a weak scholar, with worry in his eyes. However, there is a scar on the side of his cheek that shows that he is not weak at all. Instead, he is a brave soldier who has experienced countless battles.

Comments: "Still watchable."

Liu Zong breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously. He wasn't nervous on the wedding night, but now, waiting for her comment, he was overly nervous.

"By the way, do mother, third brother and younger sister know that you have come out?"

Lin Zhi shook her head, "I don't know." She looked at him, "I followed the peddler before and saw many injured men, but none of them were you. When I found this place today, I didn't have high hopes, but I didn't expect my luck to be so good."

Liu Zong's heart paused, although it was just a few short sentences and she didn't mention the hardship she had gone through to find him, but he could still imagine how she, a woman raised in seclusion, had asked a peddler for help to find someone, and how she had risked her life to follow a stranger and travel through mountains and rivers to look for her husband who was unknown whether he was dead or alive.

There are only a few women in this world who can do this.

"Thank you, you are..."

"Liu Lang!"

With a bang, the wooden door was opened by a woman. A pair of panicked eyes looked around the house. When she saw him, her eyes lit up and she rushed over: "Are you okay? Are you hurt? I was just cutting grass for pigs in the mountains and heard someone say someone was looking for you. I was afraid it was a bad guy, so I hurried down the mountain. You..."

Liu Zong wanted to hold his face with both hands, but he turned his face away and said, "Miss Taohua, I'm fine."

The aloof and indifferent tone made Taohua stop what she was doing for a moment. She looked at him and found that he had not only shaved his beard and changed into clean clothes, but also looked extraordinarily handsome.

There was a flash of amazement and obsession in his eyes, but he immediately rebuked: "Why did you shave your beard? What if you are recognized like this? You should know that I am the only one in the whole village who is friendly to you. If others find out, they will definitely hand you over to the officers and soldiers!"

Liu Zong saw that she was anxious and relaxed his expression: "Don't worry, I know the severity of the situation and I won't be discovered."

"correct."

"This is my wife. She has been looking for me since I got into trouble, and she happened to find me here today."

He turned around and said to Lin Zhi, "This girl Taohua is the one who saved me after I was injured. If it weren't for her, I would have been left dead in the wild."

Lin Zhi looked at the girl, who had a pretty face, wheat-colored skin, and a medium build. She looked at her with a wary look and greeted her with a smile: "Hello, Miss Taohua. Thank you for taking care of my husband these days."

Taohua was shocked when she heard the word "wife", and now she was even more shocked: "Wife?"

Liu Zong nodded: "Yes, thank you for saving my life, but I won't trouble you again in the future. Thank you for your care during this period." He felt relieved as he had been troubled by Taohua before, and she was still an unmarried woman, so she felt a little uncomfortable. But now everything is finally fine.

Taohua looked sad, tears streaming from her eyes: "You, don't want me anymore, you let me leave as soon as my wife comes?"

"I saved you, and you're just going to chase me away like this?"

Liu Zong was shocked: "Miss Taohua, why should I ask you to say that? Besides, I have already told you that I have a wife..." Taohua collapsed and turned and ran away.

The door kept shaking.

Liu Zong turned to Lin Zhi and explained: "Believe me, Miss Taohua saved me. I am very grateful to her, but I definitely did not do anything out of line."

Thinking of Taohua's behavior just now, he felt a headache. "Linzhi, how much silver do you have on you? Taohua is the granddaughter of a barefoot doctor. She has worked very hard to collect herbs and take care of me. I must repay her for saving my life." He said it very awkwardly. After all, he had never asked a woman for money before.

But they are a couple and they have no choice but to speak up in order to avoid trouble.

Lin Zhi looked at him with some surprise. As a woman, Taohua's eyes, movements, words and deeds all showed that she coveted Liu Zong, and she even blurted out those words just now.

"Are you sure? I see that Miss Taohua is interested in you, so why don't you take her back?"

Liu Zong looked at her, dumbfounded: "What are you talking about? She is a pure girl, and I am already married, how can I take her back?" Besides, he was just saving someone, so why would he sacrifice himself? What's more, the Liu family never had the habit of taking concubines.

"Don't talk nonsense. If it gets out, it will damage Miss Taohua's reputation."

Lin Zhi looked at him for a long while.

Liu Zong hesitated at this moment and looked at her: "Could it be that you really want to divorce me?" After thinking for a while, "That's fine. After the divorce, you can return to Beijing and don't have to suffer here anymore."

The Liu family was in a difficult situation now. He had never thought of tying up a delicate young lady and making her suffer with him.
