Chapter 581 Please don't be ungrateful
Three days flew by in a blink of an eye.
Yesterday’s clear sky did not last until today. I thought the snow would stop, but unexpectedly it started to rain as soon as it dawned in the morning.
The rain in winter turns into ice when it falls on the ground, making the road surface even more slippery and difficult to walk on.
Liu Ji, who got up early to study, looked at the freezing rain outside the window, feeling sad and happy at the same time.
If the weather is bad, can the teacher postpone the departure?
But as soon as this thought passed through his mind, Liu Ji sighed.
With the teacher's temper, even if he was going to be stabbed today, he said he had to leave today.
Reluctantly, he got up, put on thick clothes, and came to the front hall holding an umbrella.
The children gathered in front of the stove in the main room to have breakfast. Qin Yao stood in the room, holding two steamed buns in her hand and finishing them hastily. Then she signaled to Liu Jina and the couple went out together.
“Aniang!” Dalang ran out of the house and handed Qin Yao the homemade picture album he had prepared all night. “Help me give this memory album to the immortal official, will you?”
Qin Yao signaled Liu Ji to take the things with him and nodded to the child, "It will be delivered to him. Go back, it's cold outside."
Dalang obediently retreated under the eaves, but did not enter the house. He watched his father and mother leading their horses down the hillside. After a long time, he heard the quarrel and noise of his younger brothers and sisters in the house, and then returned to the house.
Erlang is teasing Sanlang again. Sanlang will get angry every time without being teased.
However, the quarrel between the two brothers ended instantly when the eldest brother came in. They each sat on one side and snorted, paying no attention to the other.
Si Niang held her chin up and looked at the gray light projected from the sky onto the window lattice, praying that the freezing rain would stop quickly and not delay the people who were about to travel.
Perhaps the little girl's sincerity moved the sky. When everyone in the Lotus Courtyard packed their bags, closed the door and prepared to set off, warmth came, the dark clouds broke, and a ray of dazzling golden light fell from the sky.
“It’s sunny!” Shitou and other guards were overjoyed.
Liu Ji, who was sitting in the car with his teacher and brother, felt instantly depressed. There was absolutely no reason to keep the teacher for two more days.
This emotion of reluctance rarely occurs to a heartless person like Liu Ji.
But this year he just didn’t want to give up, and he did it several times.
In the past, he came and went naked without any worries.
Now there are more and more fetters, and things are no longer as reckless as before, but there are just a few more worries.
Looking at the full sun in the sky, Liu Jichong nodded lightly to the lady riding beside him and lowered the curtain of the carriage.
“Let’s go.” Qin Yao said with a smile to everyone in Shitou: “Let’s take Mr. to Xiahe Village and then come back.”
The guards nodded happily, holding the stone in front, urging them to dismount, and the whole team started to move.
Arrived at the entrance of the village, the black knight who had retrieved his weapons, armor and horses was waiting there.
Qin Yao took a look at the leader Bai He from a distance.
This man wrapped his whole body in cold armor and a bamboo hat, revealing only a pair of sharp eyes like an eagle, showing his majesty and domineering.
It's a pity that she is extremely confident in her own strength. Bai He's injury must not have recovered at this time, and it is just a bluff.
Qin Yao and the guards of the Qi family quickly exchanged a few glances. The guards changed from clearing the way to protecting the main carriage.
Zhen Yubai came to the convoy. Someone needed to break the deadlock, so he had to step forward and act as cannon fodder.
The black riders' fear and fear of Qin Yao are reflected in the 100-meter distance they maintain from the convoy today.
But as soon as Zhen Yubai opened his mouth, Liu Ji leaned out half of his body from the car door and repeated the teacher's answer one by one. He narrowed his eyes proudly, pointed his nostrils at the person, raised the corner of his mouth in a sarcastic manner, and lightly spit out the tip of his tongue: "Get out!"
Zhen Yubai: "."
He smiled awkwardly, saluted again, stepped aside wisely, and glanced at Bai He with some sympathy, indicating that he had tried his best to soften the situation, but the other party did not buy it.
So, the Qi family's motorcade was walking in front, with Bai He and a dozen black riders keeping a distance of a hundred meters, falling far behind.
Although he complained, when he saw Qin Yao's proud back on the horse, he trembled and did not dare to speak.
Qin Yao and Liu Ji said they would send the teacher to Xiahe Village and then return.
But when they arrived at Xiahe Village, Liu Ji stuck his head out and asked, "Madam, you're already here, why don't you just walk a little longer and come back to the official road in the town?"
Qin Yao nodded, "Okay."
The Bai Hejian couple who fell behind had no intention of turning back. There was a slight pain in their chests, and their internal injuries suddenly worsened.
An hour later, Jinshi Town arrived.
Bai He's eyes that were drooped under the bamboo hat immediately raised, looking forward to the scene where the Qi family and the Liu family were reluctant to say goodbye.
No, actually not!
This time it was Qin Yao who took the initiative to speak, "We're all here, let's give him a ride. We'll go back when we get to the county seat."
Bai He, who had witnessed the whole process, felt a sweetness in his throat. He gritted his teeth and swallowed the blood in his mouth.
Half an hour later, the gate of Kaiyang County came into view. If we walked further, we would be sent to Fucheng.
Qi Xianguan hurriedly shouted to stop and pushed Liu Ji out of the carriage, "Junior brother, just come here."
Worried that if he talked too much, his hard-earned psychological preparation would break his defense, Qi Xianguan immediately closed the car door and ordered the guards to continue setting off.
Qin Yao rode back to the roadside, Liu Ji leaned over and leaned against the horse's belly. The couple watched the motorcade go away, raised their arms and waved.
“Goodbye, senior brother! Goodbye, teacher!” Liu Ji waved his arms harder and harder, with a wide swing, and accidentally blocked Bai He who was coming after him.
Liu Ji realized later and felt a coldness on his back. When he looked back, he was so frightened that he quickly retracted his arm.
But since there was a lady behind him, he did not forget to yell at Bai He and the other black knights in disgust.
Seeing that Bai He's face turned darker than the bottom of the pot, Qin Yao said calmly: "Mr. He, please don't be rude to Master He."
Liu Ji looked at her in surprise, not because she called him husband-in-law, but because she actually called him Lord Black Crow?
Qin Yao waved her hand gently, signaling Liu Ji to stay by the side, turned her horse's head to face the white crane, and politely saluted with clasped fists.
"I ask Lord He to take more care of the safety of sir and young master on this journey."
As he spoke, he took out two bags from his baggage. Inside were the medicine for internal injuries that Awang had made overnight. He handed them over with both hands.
“I am forced by circumstances, but I have no intention of harming you. Here are two bottles of medicine for treating internal injuries. Three times a day, one large mouthful at a time. Two bottles are enough for six days. Your injuries will definitely be cured after six days.”
But the weather is so cold, so the medicine should not deteriorate if it is only stored for six days, right?
Forget it, why are you thinking so much? Sincerity is enough. Qin Yao thought confidently in her heart.
Bai He was shocked when he saw the skin bag she handed over. His eyes were full of doubts, and he hesitated to take it.
It is good to turn enemies into friends, but is this village woman worth it?
Qin Yao smiled slightly and handed it forward again. Her eyes met Bai He's eyes, with a hint of impatience hidden in them: Please don't be ungrateful!
You are still very polite. Bai He curled his lips and reluctantly stretched out his hand to take over the two skin bags filled with medicine. (End of chapter)
