C252 Take Responsibility
Bai Qingqing laid on the ground and looked at the sky with empty eyes. Her sight had lost its focus.
More than ten years ago, when she was abandoned by her parents on the street, Bai Qingqing, who was almost five years old, had already lost all hope in this world. When she was starving to death, she was a kind mother-in-law who brought her back to Shanzhuang.
There were more than ten orphans like her there. Some of them had died, some had been abandoned like her. For various reasons, they had been adopted by their mother-in-law.
Over the past ten years, their mother-in-law had taken care of them and raised them up. Just when Bai Qingqing thought that the world was going to repay her kindness again, the flood arrived.
The Good Zhuang was flooded and Granny and many of her brothers and sisters died in the flood. Bai Qingqing was the only one left. She left the Good Zhuang with no one to rely on and left her hometown to seek a way out.
Then. . .
She came to the Green Willow Manor and was cheated by Zhang Heng. She lost her freedom.
Wave after wave of misfortune followed. The disaster victims who were tricked in were killed by Zhang Heng one after another. Just when Bai Qingqing thought that she was going to be killed, something unexpected happened.
She awakened that special talent and possessed a power that was different from ordinary people. . .
To be honest, at that time, Bai Qingqing really thought that she could use her own power to change her fate and escape from Zhang Heng's devil claw.
But. . .
Reality proved that she thought too much. In front of Zhang Heng, she was still like a helpless child, without any ability to resist.
The reason why Zhang Heng did not kill her and leave her alive was because after awakening, she had a method that was even more worthy of being used. That was to become that disgusting man's dual cultivation furnace.
Now. . .
Zhang Heng was killed. It seemed like she had been saved. However, from the conversation between Soong Gufeng and Zhang Heng just now, she could hear that the reason Soong Gufeng had saved her was because he had taken a fancy to her spiritual body. The plan she had in her heart was no different from Zhang Heng's.
What was this?
He had just exited the wolf's den and was now in the tiger's den?
He was tired.
Bai Qingqing fell to the ground. She was so tired that she did not even want to continue breathing. In such a cruel world, as a woman, she. . . She was abandoned by her parents when she was young. As a weakling, she. . . She could only run away in a sorry state in front of the flood. As a disaster victim, she. . . She could be drained of blood by martial artists who cultivated demonic arts at any time. As a furnace, she. . . She was going to be taken away like a tool. . .
No one cared. She was a living person, a person with feelings and warmth.
Those powerful experts only wanted to squeeze out the last bit of value on her body, no matter how cruel it was.
Tired, too tired. . .
"You misunderstood. "
Soong Gufeng looked at Bai Qingqing, who had a tired face and had nothing to live for. He sighed slowly and said, "I just said this to Zhang Heng. I just wanted him to let you go. I didn't mean to let you become someone's furnace. Of course. . . I know, no matter which of the two lords. . . None of them would be willing to do so. "
After she finished speaking, Bai Qingqing did not reply and continued to stare blankly at the sky.
She had heard what Soong Gufeng had said.
However, regardless of whether Soong Gufeng was telling the truth or not, she had no interest in distinguishing. She felt despair towards this cruel world and this world that had no warmth at all.
Soong Gufeng looked at her and was silent for a while. Then he slowly exhaled and said, "I know. You must be very confused right now, right? Actually. . . If you are willing, I can marry you. "
“. . . ??”
Bai Qingqing was stunned for a moment. Her neck twisted stiffly. For the first time, she looked at Soong Gufeng in surprise. It was not because of anything else but because what Soong Gufeng said at that moment was really. . .
It was too strange!
Under Bai Qingqing's gaze, Soong Gufeng's face was calm and frank. He said, "It does sound very strange when I say this, but I hope you know that I sincerely put forward this suggestion.
Zhang Heng wants to marry you because he wants to possess your Spiritual Spiritual Aura and become his dual cultivation cauldron. I am just an ordinary person and have never cultivated in the Martial Path. Your Spiritual Body is meaningless to me. So, you can rest assured. I don't want to use you, that's why I want to marry you. "
. . . "You're pitying me?"
Bai Qingqing said in a low voice.
"Yes. "
Soong Gufeng nodded without hesitation and said, "But it is not accurate. The reason why your face has become like this is because I am not capable enough. If I could stabilize Zhang Heng just now and make him stop acting recklessly, you wouldn't have suffered such injuries. Thus, from this point of view, I am at fault with you.
A true man does things in the world and takes revenge. Since I owe you, I naturally have to think of a way to make up for it. Marrying you is a way for me to express my sincerity, and after a woman's appearance is flawed, what she is most worried about is that she will not be able to find a good husband, right?
Since that is the case, I feel that you should accept my suggestion, because I believe that I can be considered a person worth entrusting my life to.
Of course. . .
If you have someone in your heart, or if you're unwilling to marry me, I can also acknowledge you as my younger sister, and I will do my best to find a doctor to treat your face. "
“. . . ”
Bai Qingqing listened to Soong Gufeng's words in a daze and said, "You don't like me. If you only feel guilty towards me, why do you have to do this? Don't tell me you have a lot of wives? "
"No, I have never married a wife. I am still single until now. "
Soong Gufeng shook his head and said, "As for whether I like you or not, Maybe it is important for ordinary people to get married. But it doesn't matter to me. In my opinion, anything and any choice. . . Whether or not it is important is responsibility and responsibility. . . I caused you to lose face and not be able to get married, so I should be responsible for your marriage until the end. "
. . . " Idiot! "
Bai Qingqing looked at him for a long time and could not help but shed tears and laugh, "How can there be an idiot like you?"
"Then, did you agree?"
Soong Gufeng asked.
"No. "
Bai Qingqing sat up from the ground and exhaled slowly. She snorted and said, "I have hands and feet. There is no need for you to take responsibility for me. If you lose your face, then so be it. It doesn't matter if you can't get married in the future. At most, you can adopt some homeless children like your mother-in-law. Your life can be considered to be worth it. "
As she spoke, she suddenly felt much more relaxed. Her heavy heart also felt much lighter.
Because. . .
She suddenly realized that in this world, there were still good people.
Like the fool beside her who was clamoring to marry her, he was an excessively good fool. And in this world, Since such a person existed, then what was the harm in continuing to miss him?
"Alright. "
Soong Gufeng nodded and said, "Since you have decided. . . I can help you. I am Great Shopkeeper from the Cangnan Giant City branch of Buping House. My monthly salary is five hundred silver coins. I live and eat in Buping House. Therefore, my monthly expenses are very little. I can only keep ten silver. The rest is for you to build a good house. Take in orphans. "
"Who wants your money. . . "
Bai Qingqing turned around and glared at Soong Gufeng. Just as she was about to say something, a faint laugh came from the side.
"To be honest, I think the two of you are quite compatible. "
A figure walked over from the clouds. He walked with light steps and arrived at the yard in an instant. He looked at Soong Gufeng and Bai Qingqing with a smile on his face.
"Vice House Master. . . "
Soong Gufeng saw Chu Yun and quickly went forward to greet him. "Why are you here in person?"
"If you didn't come, I wouldn't have seen such a good show. "
Chu Yun said and patted Soong Gufeng on the shoulder. He said, "You did well. You are worthy of being the person I personally promoted. If you marry this girl, your monthly salary will double, and it will rise to one thousand silvers. "
"You must be joking. "
Soong Gufeng smiled bitterly. He thought Chu Yun was joking.
Bai Qingqing's expression darkened a little. She rejected Soong Gufeng not because she felt that Soong Gufeng was pitying her. She did not have such strong self-esteem and did not allow anyone to pity her. She just felt that a good person like Soong Gufeng should marry a beautiful wife, and she. . .
She was too ugly and did not deserve it.
"Silly girl. . . "
Chu Yun slowly shook his head and sighed with emotion. He then reached out his hand and took out a Cinnabar fruit.
He squeezed the Cinnabar Fruit lightly. The juice was squeezed out of the fruit and floated in the air to form a ball of juice. With a thought, he came in front of Bai Qingqing.
Bai Qingqing was a little surprised and subconsciously moved back. However, that lump of juice had already covered her face and flowed into those hideous wounds.
In just a moment, a cool feeling came from the wounds. Bai Qingqing stood there in a daze. When she regained her senses, she used her trembling fingers to touch the side of her face.
The feeling of touching was smooth and delicate. She was shocked that her two hands covered her face. After touching for a long time, she did not feel the existence of any scars.
"Sir, you. . . "
Bai Qingqing looked at Chu Yun and only then did she realize that the mysterious juice just now actually restored her face that had been scratched back to its original state.
"When your face was scratched, I was watching by the side, but I didn't show myself. Now that I'm helping you recover, it's only right that I help you. So you don't have to thank me "
Chu Yun looked at her with a smile and said, "The reason why I didn't interfere was because I wanted to see how Great Shopkeeper from the Cangnan Giant City of Buping House would deal with the first mission in his life. So, if you want to blame someone, blame that fool beside you, haha. . . "
After saying that, Chu Yun's figure drifted away, leaving only Bai Qingqing and Soong Gufeng standing in the courtyard.
Bai Qingqing stared blankly at Chu Yun's back as he left, and then touched her face. It took a long time before she realized that she had really changed back to her original appearance.
Beside her, Soong Gufeng was also looking at her in a daze.
"What are you looking at?"
Bai Qingqing was a little embarrassed, so she pretended to be angry and glared at Soong Gufeng.
"Nothing. . . "
Soong Gufeng cleared his throat and calmed himself down. "I just think you are pretty. . . "
Actually, Bai Qingqing's appearance could not be considered to be devastatingly beautiful. It was just that she was above average. But at this moment, she was wearing a wedding dress. She had just experienced despair and regained her hope. The change in her state of mind gave Bai Qingqing a unique feeling of transcendence and returning to the mortal world.
This made Soong Gufeng, a fool who seldom interacted with girls, lost in thought for a moment.
"Still looking?"
Bai Qingqing stared at him and said discontentedly, "Keep staring at me. Be careful that I will poke your eyes. "
"Okay, okay, okay. . . "1
Soong Gufeng hurriedly turned his head away, but after a while, he could not help but sneak a peek. After thinking for a while, he suddenly said, "Miss, may I ask if you can help me with something?"
. . . "What favor?"
Bai Qingqing saw that he kept sneaking glances at her and secretly rejoiced in her heart. On the surface, she still put on a reserved look.
"You also heard just now that our Vice House Master has spoken up. If you are willing to marry me, my monthly salary will be doubled. . . You also heard it just now. Our Vice House Master has spoken up. If you are willing to marry me, my monthly salary will be doubled. . . I am not greedy, It is just that if you want to set up a charity house to take in orphans, it will be easier to do things with more money, right? Do you want to consider it? "
Soong Gufeng said in a serious manner. Before he could finish his words, he was punched by the woman in embarrassment and anger.
"Even if it increases to 1000 taels, you can only spend 10 taels of silver every month, do you understand?"
. . . "Alright. "
Soong Gufeng was startled and revealed a happy smile on his face. He walked forward and, under Bai Qingqing's surprised cry, picked up the girl by the waist and laughed loudly. "Thank you, my wife!"
