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

Chapter 249 Exiled Man's Sister-in-law 22
"Oh, that's fine. Then when are you going to go back with me and get divorced?"

Liu Zong was stunned by the question. Thinking of his plan, he realized that something was wrong. He looked at her in embarrassment: "This... I'm afraid it won't work. I can't go back with you for the time being."

Lin Zhi frowned: "What do you mean? Let's not talk about the divorce. I worked so hard to find you, but you don't want to go home?"

Liu Zong thought of the hardships she had gone through to find him, and felt guilty about being questioned. However, he really had a reason not to go back, so he slowly explained to her: "Lin, now that I am publicly dead, the traitor didn't bother me. If they find out that I am alive, the person behind the scenes will definitely not let it go."

"Your situation will also become dangerous because of me."

"So, I hope you won't tell anyone that I'm alive for now."

"Including mother and my third brother and younger sister?"

"Yes." Liu Zong said in a deep voice.

Lin Zhi frowned and stared at him: "Liu Zong, mother has always been very sad because she thought something happened to you. If she knew you were alive, she would be very happy. But you obviously survived with great difficulty, but you don't plan to go back. What do you want to do?" Her eyes seemed to see through all his thoughts.

Liu Zong lowered his eyes and clenched his hands into fists: "I can't let my father and elder brother die in vain!"

If everything had gone according to plan that day, nothing would have gone wrong. It was the traitor who leaked the plan that led to all this. He wanted to kill the culprit and make sure that his father and eldest brother got the due reward for their efforts.

So, even though he wanted to go home, he couldn't.

"Lin, please."

Lin Zhi stared at him for a long while and said, "Okay, whatever you want." She looked around and said, "You still have to stay here until your injury heals, right?"

"Yes, few villagers come here, so it's relatively safe for now."

Afraid that she would think too much, he quickly explained, "This wooden house has been abandoned for a long time. I heard that it was where an old hunter lived. But the hunter went into the mountains a few years ago and never came back. The villagers suspected that he was eaten by a big insect in the mountains. They felt that it was not safe to be close to the forest, so they were unwilling to get close."

"Taohua brought me back to live here, but she herself lives in the village. This is not her place."

Lin Zhi understood at this moment, but said: "Even the children in the village know how Taohua feels about you. I'm afraid it's not that easy to write it off with a sum of money." The girl looked quite stubborn, he thought the matter was too simple.

Liu Zong hesitated and looked at her: "Then, do you have any solution?"

Linzhi???

"What can I do? Okay, you just changed the medicine, so take a good rest. I'll go find the peddler and ask him to bring a doctor tomorrow." She waved her hand and was about to leave. She didn't intend to pay attention to this guy who asked her to help him deal with his peach blossom.

When Liu Zong heard this, he hurriedly grabbed her sleeve and asked, "Are you leaving?" His eyes were filled with anxiety and reluctance.

It had been so long since he saw a family member, and he didn't want to see her leave so soon.

Lin Zhi turned around and pulled back her sleeves: "No, I'm going to tell the peddler and bring a message to mother so they don't worry." She certainly wouldn't leave until things here were resolved.

Liu Zong felt relieved when he heard this and smiled: "Okay, go ahead."

Linzhi walked to the entrance of the village. The aunties and grandmas had already bought needles and thread. This place was remote. Usually, the peddler came once every three months. Every time, they would take the opportunity to buy a lot of things such as needles and thread, silk flowers, wooden hairpins and other common things. At this time, they would not leave after buying things, but chat with the peddler. Listening to him talk about the various people and things he saw while traveling, the peddler talked endlessly, and they listened with relish.

Linzhi waited for a while and only went over after the person left.

The peddler quickly asked if it was the person she was looking for. Lin Zhi nodded, gave him the promised reward, and gave him an extra piece of silver: "I'll trouble you again, to bring a doctor to the village for me tomorrow. It's best to find a doctor who keeps his mouth shut and won't talk nonsense. Do you understand?"

"What a coincidence! I happen to know a doctor who is very tight-lipped and has great artistic skills. I will bring him to my wife tomorrow!" The peddler patted his chest and promised.

"By the way, please give a message to my cousin, telling him that I won't be going back for a few days, and ask him to say a few good words for me in front of my parents." The 'cousin' is the second son of the head of the village. He usually does nothing in the village, and will even approach women with a flattering attitude when he sees them.

The villagers, especially the women, hated him.

As a newcomer to the village, she was also verbally abused by him once, but she did not cry like Yu Wan did, which caused a passing military officer to see her and beat him up.

Instead, she talked to him, asked him what he usually did, and finally asked him to help take her to town.

The boy didn't expect such a good thing to happen, so he immediately accepted the money and agreed to it behind his father's back. When he met someone on the road, he confidently said that he was helping his father. The villagers didn't ask any questions, which made him look very proud.

After several contacts, Lin Zhi felt that this man was just a bad talker and had never really harmed anyone. In the original plot, he was sent to the military camp and died because he offended Yu Wan, which was really serious.

Let the peddler take the message to him, and let him figure out the rest himself.

The peddler nodded repeatedly. It was because he saw that the woman was the cousin of the village head's son that he was willing to help. At least there was no risk.

The peddler packed up and left quickly. Linzhi also took a small path and went back to the wooden house. On the way, he heard some villagers talking about seeing Taohua coming back crying. Then they said that this child had a miserable life. Her parents went into the mountains to collect herbs, but they encountered a rainstorm and fell into the lake and died.

The elderly Old Yu was left behind to raise the granddaughter. Old Yu was a barefoot doctor with some medical skills, and everyone went to him for treatment.

With the money for medical treatment, life is not that difficult for the grandparents and grandchildren.

But not long after, Old Yu went out to see a patient, and on his way back was hit to death by a rock that fell from the mountain. Everyone sighed that Taohua was now the only one left.

Lin Zhi seemed to be deep in thought. From this perspective, Taohua did have a hard life. However, since her grandfather, parents were all doctors, albeit barefoot doctors, she should have known something about pharmacology since she was a child. So why did she use such simple herbal medicine for Liu Jing?
With doubts, she returned to the wooden house and went to the back, where she saw a little boy making medicine for Liu Zong.

At this time Taohua came out of the house with red eyes.

Seeing the child boiling medicine, his eyes flickered slightly, and he walked over and said, "Come on," then he took the palm-leaf fan from the child, squatted down to fan the burning medicine, and then motioned to the child to go and play.

The child was at an age when he loved to play, so when he heard this he immediately ignored the request and left happily.

When Taohua saw that the person had left, she opened the medicine jar, picked out the herbs inside and identified them carefully. After a while, she picked them out and threw them away, then selected herbs with less effective effects from the basket next to it and put them in the jar, then covered the lid and continued to boil the medicine.

Linzhi... She had this thought just now, and wondered if she had too many tasks to do, so she became cruel to everyone she saw. Who would have thought that Taohua would really do this? No wonder Liu Zong's leg didn't heal for a long time.
