Following Bai Zhi’s words, he pressed the red button and heard a ‘click’ sound. A small drawer automatically slides out from the middle and upper section of the medicine box. In the small drawer, there were many bottles and boxes with strange patterns.

What are these? Why everything looks so strange?

Bai Zhi said: “Give me the ibuprofen.” She was still very young, she will only turn 13  years old next month. It’s safer to use ibuprofen to reduce her fever.

Hu Feng looked very confused with all the bottles and boxes in front of him. He doesn’t know which one is the ibuprofen!

Bai Zhi pointed her finger to the orange box on his left side: “It was that orange box with strange characters.”

Hu Feng took out the orange box, the words written on it were different from the words he usually wrote, but the characters on the orange box sound just like that.

Bai Zhi took the box and immediately pulled out the bottle inside. After removing the protective plug, she set the amount to the right amount for her age, and then pressed the button. An orange-flavored medicine was poured to the built-in medicine cup.

She took out the medicine cup and drank the sweet-scented medicine as if she was only drinking a juice.

This was the first time she has taken this medicine. She thought she would never have the chance to taste this medicine in her life.

After taking the medicine, she handed it back to Hu Feng. Hu Feng imitated what she did, he pressed the medicine cup to the bottle. Where did this thing come from? Who made it? The yellow juice smells sweet and fragrant, is that really a medicine?

Bai Zhi was very tired. She didn’t have the spirit to talk to him again. She closed her eyes and said: “Put everything back, I’m going to sleep, you can go back.”

Hu Feng put the medicine back to its original place and pressed the red button again. As expected, the extended small drawer was shrunk back.

Even if he was full of doubts, he knows its not the right time to ask, everything can wait until she gets better.

Hu Feng put the medicine box back under the bed, got up and covered her with the quilt. Then he turned around and leave.

When Zhao Lan saw him out, she immediately asked: “How is she?”

Hu Feng replied: “She just drank medicine and fell asleep.”

Zhao Lan knew that there were many strange medicines in her box. Although they were strange, they were very effective.

Hu Feng took Awu to the side and whispered, “What is going on?”

Awu lowered his head and said: “Bai Zhi won’t let me talk.”

Hu Feng coldly said: “Things have already come this far, you still don’t want to tell the truth? Do you want me to go to the town and look for that man surnamed Gu?”

Awu hurriedly grabbed his arm: “You can’t. Hu Feng, Bai Zhi didn’t want me to tell you. She’s afraid that you will go to find Gu Daren. You mustn’t go there.”

Hu Feng said: “If you don’t want me to go, then make things clear.”

Awu sighed. “Well, I will say… … Bai Zhi said to me last night that we will go to the government this morning to complain. Bai Zhi said that Boss Qian knows that we live in Huangtou Village. The two of you are not dead, he will know this fact sooner or later, she’s afraid that Boss Qian will come right through our door. If that happened, we will all suffer. She wanted to go to the government to complain. She knew that Gu Daren and Boss Qian are relatives so he can’t punish him. She just wants Gu Daren to warn Boss Qian not to harm us again.”

“But who knows that Gu Daren was shameless to such point, she didn’t even let her plead, he just casually ordered his people to beat her with the board.”
