Bai Zhi thought of the Black Battalion she just heard. She seemed to have heard Hu Feng said that he used to be in the cavalry camp. They were not in the same place.

“The prince you said, is it Prince Jin?” She asked.

Zhao Sue was shocked, but then busily nodded her head: “That’s right, it’s Prince Jin. I just can’t remember it earlier. I heard Awu mention Prince Jin’s name a few times.”

When she finished saying those words, Zhao Sue asked with confusion: “How did you know that it’s Prince Jin?”

Bai Zhi smiled and said: “On the day we sold the tiger’s skin, we went to the teahouse to drink tea and listen to the storyteller. When the storyteller mentioned Prince Jin, I saw Awu Dage’s facial expression changed, that’s why I thought about him.” She didn’t pay attention later to Awu’s reaction at that time. But after thinking about it, Awu’s reaction was indeed unnatural. It’s just, she was so focused on Hu Feng, so she didn’t pay much attention to him.

Bai Zhi asked: “Do you know what happened to Prince Jin at that time? Why did Prince Jin had an accident, and then Awu Dage also had bad luck?”

Zhao Sue shook her head: “How will I know this thing? I am just a woman who lived in the countryside, and then I followed Awu into hiding. I don’t dare to mention this to anyone. Awu also refused to tell me.”

When she saw her like this, she stopped asking questions. She just said with a smile: “Well, the hard days of the past are over. Later, we will all live a good life in Huangtou Village. Our days will get better and better. Just trust me.”

Zhao Sue heavily nodded her head, as tears form in her eyes.

After Zhao Sue left, Bai Zhi hurriedly hid the hairpin. After that, she washed and went to the front yard.

In a glance, she saw the horse who was tied in the tree, was gone… …

Hu Feng had been going out frequently these days. He never said where he will go or what he was doing.

Bai Zhi sighed and powerlessly walked in the yard. But, just as she lifted her gaze, she saw a pair of familiar eyes.

“You’re at home?” She was a little surprised.

Hu Feng lowered his head and continued repairing the chair at home: “The chairs at home are old. If they got broken later, buy new ones, or put them aside and wait for me to get home, I’ll repair them.”

When the chairs got broken, put them aside and wait for him to come back and he’ll repair them? When he returns, will he still be the same as now? Will he still be Hu Feng?

Seeing that she didn’t respond, Hu Feng looked up at her again: “What’s wrong with you? Don’t you want me to go?” His lips slight curved, his face looked so handsome when he smiled.

Bai Zhi hurriedly shook her head and cut off her fantasy: Stop— even if his face is made of gold, I’m still unwilling.

Hu Feng put down the chair in his hand and walked close to Bai Zhi. Seeing her face was red, he asked: “Why are you blushing?”

Bai Zhi hurriedly covered her cheeks and said: “Who, who is blushing? I feel hot, it’s hot in here.”

Hu Feng made a long ‘oh’ sound and looked at her with a smile. He stretched out his arm and put his hand on her head: “Is it hot? It turned out a little girl is afraid of heat!”

His hand was big, his movements were gentle, and she can seem to feel the heat of his palm, which made her cheeks feel hot more and more.

Hu Feng was very satisfied with her reaction. The smile on his face became more and more brilliant, but he didn’t say another word. He returned to his original position and continued repairing the chair.

Bai Zhi calmed down herself and erased the inexplicable emotion she felt. When she saw no one was around, she went close to Hu Feng and said in a low voice: “When you were in the military camp, have you ever seen Awu?”

Hu Feng’s hand immediately stop working, and then he looked at Bai Zhi: “Awu? He used to stay in the military camp before?”
