1695 Why Is Your Nose Bleeding
“Alright.” Ji’er nodded as she took the noodles from him. “Thank you.”
The little beggar scratched his head. “I’ll be heading back to my room, then.”
“Okay.”
The little beggar’s steps were a little floaty. The young master was actually a lady, and she was gorgeous.
When he returned to the room, the other two beggars circled him. “Lil Tian, why is your nose bleeding?”
Lil Tian was shocked. He reached out to wipe his nose and there was blood all over it.
After Ji’er took the bowl of noodles into her room, she tested the noodles with a silver needle. She began to eat the noodles when she saw the silver needle had not changed color.
She was not worried about the beggars harming her, but she was stranded in the outside world and it was always wise to be on the lookout for impending danger.
Even though Ji’er had never been out on her own before, her mother would always remind her and Yaoyao to be wary of others. If there came a day they needed to be in the outside world, she warned them to be extra cautious.
She ate a mouthful of noodles, thinking that she had no appetite. However, she did not expect to actually end up finishing up the entire bowl in the end.
…
The next day, Ji’er went to see a physician at a medical hall.
Just as she had suspected, she was pregnant for a little more than a month.
She calculated the timing and figured she had gotten pregnant around the time she left West Water Frontier.
Ji’er was happy and anxious at the same time when she learned the news.
After a few days of staying in the town, Ji’er and the three little beggars had the impression that the people in the little town lived a simple and honest life. Ji’er also took into consideration the fact that she was going to give birth in nine months and that it was not a good idea to be moving about. As such, she decided to settle down in the little town.
However, the silver she had on hand was not enough to last until she gave birth.
Moreover, having a child required a lot of money.
She had to earn money during this time.
Ji’er had learned a beauty formula from her mother.
She could use this formula and find work with beauty shops.
However, this was not the way she wanted to earn a keep.
Ji’er gave this matter some thought and decided that she wanted to hunt for a living.
The three little beggars showed their support when they found out about her decision.
They were even more careful when dealing with her after finding out that she was a lady.
Ji’er kept them around as she was basically alone in the world—she would need help from someone eventually.
She rented a place in the small town that was just enough for all of them.
The three little beggars were simply overjoyed on the day they rented the house.
Ji’er wondered why they were so happy and asked them about it.
In response, they told her that they had been wandering for ages and never had a permanent home. Now that they finally have a place to live, they no longer had to worry about living in the wilderness.
While they were explaining this, the three of them looked at Ji’er, teary-eyed. The gratitude could be seen in their eyes.
Ji’er rubbed Lil Tian’s head and said to the beggars, “Stay by my side from now on. I won’t let any of you go hungry as long as it is in my capability.”
“Alright.” The three of them nodded heavily.
Even though they might not know the identity of this little lady, she was willing to feed them and take them in. They no longer needed to beg for food and roam about without a home. They were happy and grateful for this, and naturally were more than willing to not pry about her past.
All three of them were full of enthusiasm—they took only half a day to clean up the entire house. The tables and chairs, windows and doors, and even the floor had been cleaned thoroughly. Ji’er did not even have to lift a finger.
Ji’er was very satisfied with this.
Now that they had found a place to live, it was time to think about their livelihood.
Within a few days of their stay in the town, she had learned that two miles east of the town was a mountain called Green Spear Mountain. She was told that there was plenty of prey there and it was the favorite hunting ground for nearby hunters.
