Bai Xilie heard this and smiled helplessly.
"Helping others, huh? Your mother certainly has a warm-hearted and helpful nature."
Zhi’er blinked her big eyes: "Father, how did you meet mother back then?"
"Uncle Immortal and the others said father must have had thousands of years of extraordinary luck to marry mother."
Bai Xilie’s brow immediately furrowed: "Uncle Immortal? Is he a friend you and your mother know?"
Zhi’er thought for a moment: "Hmm, I suppose you could say that."
Bai Xilie lowered his gaze, and on his handsome and resolute face, there was an expression of commanding presence.
It seems that while he was away, someone had foolishly dared to approach his wife.
And now it truly proves the saying, ’The heavens are high and the Emperor far away.’
He wanted to manage, but couldn’t.
Thinking of this, Bai Xilie couldn’t help but sigh.
He raised his eyes to look at his daughter, speaking warmly: "Father meeting your mother was an accident."
"While hunting in the mountains, I saw your mother injured, with half her body soaked in water."
"At the time, father was surprised why someone who had lost so much blood was still barely alive." ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ Novᴇl_Fire(.)net
"So, I took her home to treat and care for her."
Zhi’er munched on sweet potatoes, obediently listening to father tell the story of him and mother.
Jing Jia suffered severe internal injuries.
Bai Xilie used his energy to heal her, and her body miraculously recovered quickly.
Afterward, Jing Jia stayed at the Bai Family temporarily to repay the kindness.
Ever since she arrived.
The Bai Family’s chickens laid six eggs in two days.
At that time, the whole family relied on farming and hunting to live, and just by selling eggs, they earned more silver than they did in three months before.
Not only that, Jing Jia also cured Bai Xilie’s eldest brother’s cold affected leg.
She only used her own remedy.
Mix a handful of spring water with two kinds of herbs.
The pain that troubled Bai Family’s eldest brother for ten years disappeared in three months.
Jing Jia, when she had time, taught Bai Family’s eldest sister-in-law and third sister-in-law some knowledge.
She taught the eldest sister-in-law to identify herbs and learn healing skills.
Also taught the third sister-in-law to read and write.
Because Jing Jia was approachable, beautiful, and had an open personality, she quickly won the respect and love of everyone in the Bai Family.
"Father and your mother truly bonded during a time when mountain floods were coming."
Bai Xilie spoke of that day, his gaze always floating with feelings stirred.
As their day-to-day interactions accumulated, Bai Xilie became attracted to Jing Jia.
However, he believed that Jing Jia, with her lovely appearance, elegant speech, and extensive knowledge.
Must have come from a wealthy family.
Bai Xilie did ask her why she was alone, severely injured, wandering in the mountains.
Jing Jia only vaguely said she was being pursued by enemies.
About her past, she didn’t want to say more, and Bai Xilie naturally wouldn’t press.
But he always felt that Jing Jia was someone he shouldn’t covet.
The then young Bai Xilie decided to bury this emotion deep in his heart.
However, one time, the weather was gloomy.
Jing Jia suddenly asked him to remind the villagers to quickly head down the mountain, preferably hiding in the town.
Bai Xilie inquired for the reason.
Jing Jia pushed him out: "A mountain flood is coming, if we don’t leave now it’ll be too late, quickly go and inform Eldest Brother and Third Brother."
Bai Xilie had already witnessed her skills in observing the weather and predicting outcomes.
He immediately stopped hesitating, donned a raincoat, and quickly led his family and villagers out.
Zhi’er heard this, blinked her big eyes: "Father, didn’t mother leave with you all?"
Bai Xilie gently stroked his daughter’s head.
"After father had settled everyone at the foot of the mountain, I also realized that your mother hadn’t followed."
