Bloodstained Hero's Clothes

Chapter 153 Where the Wind Rises, the Truth Comes Out ([-])
Ling'er pushed open the secret door and walked in. She raised the candle and looked, shocked.

There is actually a small cubicle here, the cubicle is not big, except for the aisle, there can only be a small bed.

She slowly approached the crib, and a strong smell of blood wafted over.Linger felt pain in her heart.

A thick quilt was randomly piled up on the bed, which was a bit messy.

The low cabinet next to the bed was full of medicine bottles. Linger picked up a few bottles and looked at them. Except for trauma medicine, they were painkillers.These made Ling'er even more distressed.

There is also an incense burner next to the medicine bottle, and Linger smells it closely, and it smells like sandalwood.

Ling'er walked further, and there was a wardrobe. She opened the door of the cabinet and put a candle close to it. Half of the neatly stacked wardrobes were blue robes and the other half were white coats.

Both the middle clothes and the robes seemed to have been specially incensed, exuding a pleasant smell of sandalwood.

Ling'er stroked these blue robes lightly, thinking: "It turns out that this is where Qi Yang put on the green clothes, covered his face, and went out to fight for justice. It was also in this small confined space that he endured all kinds of pain." , self-healing. And what about that cave? Was he afraid that the blood would flow all the way to Qi's house and reveal his identity, so he specially found a place to stop the bleeding from the wound and clean himself up?"

Ling'er wiped away the tears that could not help falling down, and closed the wardrobe door.

Next to the wardrobe is a narrow staircase, Linger wonders where it leads.

She was about to go up to find the answer when she heard footsteps outside the compartment.

The sound of footsteps came straight to the compartment.Ling'er was startled, and hurriedly blew out the fire and candles, then ducked down and hid in the small space under the stairs.

Immediately afterwards, the secret door was pushed open and closed again.The person who came did not light the lamp, but he was very familiar with the compartment, so he went straight to the bed and stopped.

Ling'er has slowly adapted to the dim light in the cubicle, and she can vaguely see that she is a woman.

At this time, the woman was arranging the quilt on the small bed and stacking it neatly at the end of the bed.

After tidying the quilt, the woman took out a stack of clothes from the bamboo basket she brought with her and put them on the bed. Then she bent down, pulled out a bamboo basket from under the bed, and poured the clothes inside into the bamboo basket that had just been emptied .

Then, the woman pushed the bamboo basket back under the bed.She picked up the stack of clothes on the bed and walked towards the closet.

Ling'er was anxious and hurriedly held her breath.

The woman got closer and closer, and Ling'er found out from her expression and behavior that she was actually a blind person, which made Ling'er feel a little relieved.

Walking to the closet, the woman raised her hand that was not holding the clothes to confirm the position of the handle of the closet door, then opened the closet door, and put the robe and tunic in her hand into the corresponding positions.

Then, she turned around, but didn't move immediately.She slowly turned her head in Ling'er's direction.

Ling'er was terrified, did she find me?

The woman didn't make a sound, but turned around, walked towards the bamboo basket she put on the ground, then picked up the bamboo basket and walked out of the compartment.

Ling'er was completely relieved after feeling that the woman had left Qi's mansion through the back door.

Ling'er came out of the small space under the stairs, stood up and rubbed her numb waist.

She relighted the candle and walked to the bed. The bed had been tidied up and there was no strong smell of blood just now.

She bent down and pulled out the bamboo basket under the bed, which was empty.

Ling'er knew that the woman had just come to take away the blood-stained clothes and return the clean clothes.

At the same time, she also guessed Qi Yang's good intentions in asking a blind man to take care of these things, because blind people can't see the color of the robe.

Because of the woman's sudden appearance, Ling'er also forgot to continue to check where the stairs lead to the second floor.

She was even more curious about where the woman was going when she went out the back door?
Ling'er hurriedly left the cubicle and followed.

Although the woman was blind, her steps were not slow at all, she was obviously very familiar with the surrounding terrain.

Ling'er searched for a long time before finding her by the river. She seemed to be planning to do laundry.

Ling'er didn't dare to get too close, only dared to observe from a distance.

The woman was about her age, and although she was blind, she dressed herself neatly and decently.

Suddenly, the woman turned around and faced Ling'er.

Linger was startled, could she hear the movement so far away?
The woman said, "Is that the girl from just now?"

Ling'er was shocked again, it turned out that she really found herself just now!

Now that they were all discovered, Ling'er calmly walked in front of the woman.

"Auntie, I was rude just now." Ling'er apologized.

The woman smiled and said, "It is indeed the girl from just now."

"How do you know?" Linger asked curiously.

"The girl has a faint fragrance of orchids." The woman replied with a smile.

Ling'er thought to herself: "So that's it! I didn't expect that this aunt not only has an excellent sense of hearing, but also has an extremely keen sense of smell."

"My husband's family name is Zhao, you can call me Aunt Zhao!" the woman said with a smile.

"Okay, Aunt Zhao, my name is Gan Linger." Linger said with a smile.

"Young lady is Er Ye's friend, right?" Aunt Zhao said, "If it wasn't for Er Ye's very close friend, she wouldn't stay there."

"Actually, I'm just an ordinary friend of Qi Yang's. I accidentally broke into that cubicle." Ling'er hurriedly explained, her little face flushed slightly.

"Hehe. Those who can come and go in and out of Qi's residence at will are the friends that the second master is very close to." Aunt Zhao said.

Ling'er thought to herself: "The gate of Qi's house has never been closed, isn't it common to be able to come in and out at will?"

Aunt Zhao seemed to guess what Linger was thinking, and said with a smile: "Many things are not as simple as they seem on the surface."

Ling'er nodded half-understood, and said bluntly: "Can you help me hide from Qi Yang that I accidentally broke into the cubicle?"

Aunt Zhao smiled and said, "If the second master didn't ask specifically, I'll help you hide it!"

Ling'er thanked her, thinking that Qi Yang probably wouldn't find out!
"Oops! Talking to the girl, I almost forgot the serious business. I have to take advantage of the time when there is no one around." Aunt Zhao suddenly remembered to do laundry.

Ling'er looked around, it didn't look like anyone else would come here!
Aunt Zhao lifted the lid of the bamboo basket without hesitation, and poured out all the clothes inside.

The bloody air spread instantly, just as Ling'er expected, it was all the blood-stained clothes that Qi Yang had replaced.

The cyan robe was alright, but the blood stains on those white shirts were shocking.

Looking at these clothes, Ling'er felt pain in her heart.

Aunt Zhao wet the clothes one by one with her usual face, applied the soaked and smashed saponins on them, and beat them hard with a stick.

Ling'er thought to herself: "Although Aunt Zhao's eyes are blind, she has a good sense of smell. Why does she not change her face when she faces the clothes that smell of blood?"

Aunt Zhao suddenly stopped what she was doing and said, "Second master doesn't know how to cherish himself. We servants can't blame him. Please take care of him." After she finished speaking, she turned her head to face Ling'er.

Ling'er looked at Aunt Zhao's face, but the same expression made Ling'er feel her pain and helplessness.

"Yeah." Ling'er replied lightly.

Only then did Aunt Zhao show a gratified smile.

Ling'er looked at the blue robe in Aunt Zhao's hand, and asked softly, "Do you know the color of the robe in your hand?"

"What color does it matter?" Aunt Zhao said with a smile, "As long as you know that the second master is a good person, that's enough."

Linger understood, Aunt Zhao was blind but not blind, she knew everything.
