CHAPTER 2099: CHAPTER 2097: THE RABBIT WITH SPIRIT

Soon, she had stitched up the wound on Fen Jizhi’s arm. Although the stitches on human flesh looked particularly unsettling, the skin was at least smooth now, and the bleeding had stopped.

"My skin is all stitched up, it will be so uncomfortable to bathe from now on," Fen Jizhi sighed.

Bai Ruozhu reluctantly said, "You should focus on adjusting your breathing. These stitches will automatically fall off in a few days, and by then your flesh will have mostly healed."

"A few days?" Fen Jizhi’s eyes widened, "Are you bluffing?"

At this time, serious external wounds typically do not heal completely so quickly, even with excellent Golden Wound Medicine, they rarely heal within a few days.

"These stitches prevent the wound from splitting open, so combined with my superb healing ointment, it heals relatively quickly. But just because the stitches fall off, it doesn’t mean the insides of your wound are fully healed. You still need to take care for a while," Bai Ruozhu explained.

"What kind of stitches are these that they can fall off on their own?" Fen Jizhi was obviously unstoppable, looking as curious as a baby.

Bai Ruozhu felt grateful to him, so she patiently explained, "These are special stitches made from sheep intestines and some medicinal materials. They dissolve automatically when your wound heals. If it were ordinary stitches, you’d have to remove them later, which would be more troublesome and cause you a bit more pain."

Fen Jizhi nodded, "It seems that our tribe’s medical skills are still lagging behind. I’ve never seen these before."

Bai Ruozhu smiled without saying a word, thinking that this was the product of modern medicine, which he surely hadn’t seen.

While talking, Bai Ruozhu helped him stitch up the other wounds and finally helped him cleanse and disinfect them before bandaging them.

At this moment, Bai Zepei stepped forward, offering a deep bow, "Fen brother, thank you for saving my life earlier, this kindness, I, Bai Zepei, will never forget."

Fen Jizhi waved his hand, "It’s my duty. You people from the Wei Hall set up a barrier to protect my family, so saving you is natural. Don’t be too polite."

Feng’s father listened and understood what happened, he patted Bai Zepei on the shoulder and said, "Bai Family lad, we’re all Jiuli people, no need to be so polite. Without you today, we wouldn’t have escaped."

Bai Ruozhu had been busy for quite a while and was exhausted, so she sat on the ground and asked about what happened after she and Fen Jizhi escaped.

It turned out that the great elder exhausted his inner strength to hold off the second elder’s men, creating an opportunity for them to escape into this Trial Ground. However, some elders’ families remained controlled by the second elder.

Indeed, as Bai Ruozhu had speculated, there were many of them, and they didn’t know how they triggered the mechanism. As soon as they went in to have a look, they encountered great danger and five people were killed inside.

With the tension finally lifted, many sat on the ground, silently shedding tears.

Today was a great disaster for the Jiuli Clan, not caused by the Quanrong Clan, but instead by their own people’s greed.

"I don’t understand why so many people are willing to work for the second elder, even resorting to slaughtering their clan members?" Bai Ruozhu originally thought Jiuli people were united and proud. How could anyone work for the second elder like this?

Elder Su sighed and said, "The Fo Family used to produce clan leaders and held considerable prestige in the clan, plus the second elder regularly promised them various benefits."

"Perhaps the second elder also used some evil techniques!" Elder Ten suddenly said, "Think about Du Fei’s abilities. How did she suddenly dare to use evil techniques on Xin Sheng? And the second elder wants his granddaughter in the Enlightenment Tablet to temporarily increase her soul power using evil techniques, right? These years, we’ve always been guarding against the Quanrong Clan, not expecting division among ourselves, always tolerating and giving in, yet fostering a white-eyed wolf."

Bai Ruozhu looked around, "Where is the great elder?"

As soon as she asked, everyone began to cry, and many people wept while saying, "We must avenge the great elder!"

Bai Ruozhu regretted asking, Elder Three wiped the corner of his eyes and said, "The great elder sacrificed himself to hold off the pursuing forces, burning his inner strength and self-destructing."

"This..." Bai Ruozhu looked at her aunt beside her, seeing that Jiao Ling no longer held resentment in her eyes, indicating she had completely let go of her hatred for the great elder.

Although the great elder was too selfish in the matter of Wei Yu, overall, he tirelessly contributed to the clan, deserving respect.

Bai Ruozhu saw that everyone was resting, so she found an excuse to go to the side and then hid in the Space.

After busying herself for half a day, she didn’t know how the three children were doing.

As soon as she entered, she saw Little Dengdeng holding a bottle she made to feed his brother milk. Bai Ruozhu was surprised because the fresh milk should be boiled and cooled before giving it to Bengbeng to drink.

In ancient times, many families weaned their children early, but Bai Ruozhu feared Bengbeng lacked nutrition, so she had a few dairy cows and sheep in the Space, milking them every day, boiling the milk, cooling it down for the two little buns to drink. Little Dengdeng had seen her do these things in the Space, but he was so young and still needed to do such things.

Bai Ruozhu couldn’t help but feel a pang of heartache. She quickly walked over, "Dengdeng, aren’t you tired?"

"With Tutu’s help, not at all," Little Dengdeng said with a cheeky smile, his face no longer showing the fear from before.

Bai Ruozhu reached out to take the bottle made by silver and found it to be warm.

"Did you make the fire yourself? Did you heat the milk for your brothers?" Bai Ruozhu asked in surprise.

"Tutu helped me," Little Dengdeng said with a smile.

Before, Bai Ruozhu thought he was joking about having Tutu’s help, but now it seemed like the black rabbit was actually working.

At this moment, the black rabbit appeared, hopping and skipping, and Bai Ruozhu was surprised to see it jumping on its hind legs, the two front paws holding another bottle, bringing it to Little Dengdeng.

"Has Tutu always been able to help?" Bai Ruozhu was startled. She recalled her son saying similar things before, like playing with Tutu and Tutu helping him dress. She thought her son was just fond of the black rabbit and imagined these details, but it turned out the little black rabbit actually had a spirit!

Thinking back carefully, at first, the black rabbit was brought out by Xiaohei for Little Dengdeng to play with. It should be a magical creature grown from the tree in the Space, its flesh infused with essence.

But why were all the animals produced by the little tree eaten by Xiaohei, except for this black rabbit that was brought out?

She initially thought Xiaohei believed a rabbit was better suited for Dengdeng’s play, or maybe Xiaohei naturally preferred black animals.

Now it seemed that Xiaohei believed this rabbit had spirit.

However, the little rabbit seemed very afraid of Bai Ruozhu. Upon seeing her, it quickly put down the bottle and ran off. Bai Ruozhu used her Qinggong to dash over and grabbed it by the two long ears, lifting it up.
