In this statement, Bai Zhi didn’t say it only for the sake of former Bai Zhi, but also for herself. She wanted to bid farewell to her past self in order to start a new life.
This night, Bai Zhi was able to sleep well. She no longer felt abandoned and lonely in her sleep. Her life was no longer dull like before, so she will never shed tears to those people who don’t know how to cherish their loved ones.
She only hoped that her life in this world would become stable for all the years to come.

This night, the person who was able to sleep well, was not only Bai Zhi.
Meng Nan, who was in the government office, also sleep well.
Every night, his face was itchy. But after using Bai Zhi’s prescription, his face miraculously stop itching. He no longer scratches his face with his hand. And if he was not looking in the mirror right now, he wouldn’t think that his face has wounds.
“Gongzi, how do you feel?” Jin Shiwei, who has always been with Meng Nan, was very worried.
Meng Nan opened his mouth and said: “I’m good, I’ve never felt this good. This girl, Bai Zhi is really interesting.”
Jin Shiwei sighed in relief: “I didn’t expect it though. So many doctors have tried to cure you, but only Bai Zhi’s prescription cured you in the end. If other people will hear about this, I’m afraid no one will believe it, right?”
Meng Nan’s lips curved into a smile: “We need other people to believe, to do what?”
Jin Shiwei nodded his head again and again: “Right, Bai Zhi doesn’t look like a public figure. Maybe because she doesn’t want other people to know about her skills.”
Meng Nan lay on a soft bed and stared quietly on the roof, then faintly said: “A pearl that was mixed into fish eyes will still be a pearl.”

When the dawned came, Bai Zhi got up and listened to Zhao Lan’s reminder, then climbed up to the newly fixed oxcart yesterday.
Hu Feng came out and climbed into the oxcart without saying anything.
Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow: “Hey, what are you doing?”
Hu Feng sat down in the wooden chair and crossed his arms. He said with indifferent tone: “Why? You can go to the town, but I can’t?”
At this time, Hu Changlin also came out of the courtyard and said to Bai Zhi: “I told him to go with you. You are a little girl, it’s not safe for you to go there alone. If Hu Feng is with you, he can help you carry things. He only needs to put a little effort. He’s only staying at home, so just let him go with you.”
Bai Zhi knew that it was out of Hu Changlin’s kindness. So, she hurriedly thanked him: “Thank you, Hu Bo. My Niang is alone in the cabin house. Can you help to look after her?”
Hu Changlin waved his hand: “Just go, you don’t have to worry about things at home. I am here.”
Bai Zhi doesn’t worry about things at home. What she was worried about is, if the Bai Family look for Zhao Lan when she was not there. Zhao Lan was a soft-hearted person, she doesn’t know what may happen.
Bai Zhi turned her head and said to Hu Changlin: “Hu Bo, I was in a hurry and forgot to say something to Niang, can you help me pass a message to her?”
Hu Changlin nodded his head: “Okay, just say it.”
“Hu Bo, can you tell Niang, that no matter what the Bai Family ask her to do, she shouldn’t promise anything. No matter what, she should wait for me to come back before she decides.”
Hu Changlin knew what Bai Zhi was worried about, so he quickly nodded his head: “Okay, I will pass that message for you. Rest assured. You be careful on the road.”
The ox cart pulled Bai Zhi and Hu Feng away from the Huangtou Village. However, right after the oxcart left the village, Mrs. Liu, who was washing clothes in the river, rushed back to their house with the tub.
“Niang, that dead girl, Bai Zhi left. It seems she will go to the town. Hu Feng also came with her.” Mrs. Liu whispered to the old lady’s ear.
