Chapter 574 Snow Black Knight

"I'll go ask the teacher myself!"

Since his wife didn't know, he would go and ask in person.

When he thought of the irresistible content on the letter and Zhen Yubai's purposeful approach, Liu Ji could not wait a moment longer and stood up to rush to the Lotus Courtyard.

Qin Yao coughed softly, and Awang and Yin Le immediately moved, blocking the door on the left and right.

Liu Ji got anxious and stretched out his hand to pull the two men apart. Damn it, these two men seemed to be made of stone, deeply embedded in the bluestone ground, without even a sway!

Liu Ji withdrew his hand, turned back and said angrily: "Madam, ask them to get out of the way!"

Qin Yao calmly pointed to an empty stool and said, "Come back and sit down."

Liu Ji paused for only half a second, then immediately returned to his seat and sat down, his hands on his knees, looking well-behaved.

Qin Yao nodded in satisfaction, and then said: "It's useless for you to ask. If the master wants to leave, no one can stop him. If he doesn't want to leave, no one can take the master out of Liujia Village under my nose."

Liu Ji was stunned. "Madam, what you mean is that the master actually doesn't want to go back, and it is Zhen Yubai and his gang who want to take the master away by force?"

Qin Yao raised her eyebrows, but didn't answer him yes or no. She just reminded him, "Instead of worrying about these things, why don't you stay with Mr. for a while while you still have time."

People are all made of flesh and blood. Gong Liangliao saw Qin Yao's wholehearted teaching of Liu Ji. Even if she was cold, she would still feel compassion for those who were sincere.

"I'm afraid it's going to snow tonight. After dinner, go to the Lotus Courtyard to accompany the master. Pay attention to the temperature at night and don't let the master catch a cold." Qin Yao instructed Liu Ji.

He also warned him: "The matter of today's letter must not be disclosed. You and I are just commoners and cannot afford to offend the nobles in the imperial city."

Liu Ji sighed and said unwillingly, "Do I have to watch my teacher being coerced into submission by them just because I'm afraid of offending the nobles?"

"What else?" Qin Yao glanced at him with a sneer, "How much do you think you are capable of?"

Liu Ji: “.” It hurts!

Liu Ji had something on his mind and did not enjoy the dinner very much. However, when he looked at the others at home, they all seemed to be eating with gusto.

The four children were fine, after all they didn't know what had happened, but the other three people who knew about the situation were still eating and drinking as if nothing had happened, which made people feel even worse.

They seem to be very respectful to the teacher on weekdays, but I didn't expect that when something really happens, they are all useless!

However, looking down at his long, beautiful hands with distinct joints but unable to lift a knife, Liu Ji became so angry that he poked the rice in the bowl with his chopsticks to vent his anger.

Qin Yao noticed his actions and curled her lips in frustration, feeling helpless and furious.

However, Liu Ji's reaction this time was a little beyond her expectations. This man who always turned around and ran away when encountering trouble actually became a little angry.

Even though it was just impotent rage, at least he was angry for a bit.

Qin Yao thought that this master-disciple relationship should still have some weight in Liu Ji's heart.

I just don’t know whether I am reluctant to leave my teacher or I am reluctant to leave the benefits that the teacher can bring.

The sky was getting dark, but unlike the usual calm inky black sky, a cold wind suddenly blew, and after howling for half an hour, the world suddenly returned to calm.

Then, the sky brightened and cotton-like white snow fluttered down.

"Mom and Dad, it's snowing!" the children shouted in surprise.

The adults who were warming themselves by the fire in the house came out curiously. During this brief moment, the snow grew a little bigger, and the sky and earth, which were originally connected into one black piece, now had a clear boundary.

The falling snow made a soft rustling sound in the quiet mountain village.

Soon, exclamations of surprise from adults and children were heard in the village.

This time, people who had plenty of charcoal and sturdy houses no longer worried about the snow, but instead saw the romance of the falling snow.

Qin Yao stretched out her hand, and soon a few snowflakes fell on her fingertips. They were cool, and melted by the temperature on her fingers, quickly turning into water drops and falling down.

In the main room, there were sounds of ping-pong.

Qin Yao looked back and saw Liu Ji taking out a backpack and putting all the snacks and plates on the table in it. He then boldly opened the cupboard, took out two jars of good wine, some candies, and some meat strips, and stuffed the backpack full.

He fastened his straw raincoat, put his hat over the basket, snorted at her, and set off for the Lotus Courtyard, carrying a basket full of good wine and food.

If you don’t know, you might think that this is something you are doing this for someone so seriously.

And that humming sound, Qin Yao just felt confused.

Liu Ji walked quickly and soon reached the bridge, heading towards the Lotus Courtyard.

The world was vast and boundless, with only that one grey dot constantly moving.

The children were playing in the yard and refused to go into the house, and the two adults, Yin Le and Awang, were also having a great time.

I don't know who sneezed first, and then they realized that their hands and feet were cold. Gradually they woke up from the joy of snow and crawled into the warm house one by one, still feeling cold.

Everyone sat around the fireplace, quietly listening to the sound of snow falling outside, their hearts filled with fulfillment and happiness.

"It would be nice if it could always be like this." Yin Le sighed expectantly.

There is snow outside, but it is warm as spring inside. There is plenty of food at hand, and the closest people are by my side.

Qin Yao smiled gently. This was exactly what she expected.

It's just that things don't always go as planned.

It snowed heavily all night, covering the ground with a thick layer of snow.

Qin Yao got up very early, without even having breakfast, and went to patrol various places in the village.

Liu Yang, Liu Dafu and others were as worried as she was. They got up at dawn and met in front of the house where the elderly people in the village lived. They smiled at each other and began to organize the villagers to clear the snow on the ground.

The snow was not thick, only about one finger high. We were afraid that the ground would become muddy puddles after it melted, so we swept it under the ridges in advance to keep the road dry.

Every family was clearing the snow in front of their door. Children didn't have to go to school, and they followed the adults' sweeping steps and grabbed a ball of snowflakes to play with.

There is a happy scene in the small village.

Suddenly, there was a dense sound of horse hooves coming from the entrance of the village.

Zhen Yubai was standing in front of the school square, watching the villagers sweeping the snow busily. With a smile on his face, he caught a glimpse of the black cavalry at the entrance of the village, and his smile froze.

At the same time, Yin Le and Awang, who were playing snowballs with the children, suddenly turned their heads and looked towards the village entrance.

The villagers also heard the sound of iron hooves hitting the ground and looked sideways.

They saw a team of about ten people, wearing black clothes and soft armor, wearing black hats, riding fully armed black cavalry, marching in neat steps, and moving quickly towards their village.

The cold aura grew stronger as the team approached. They lowered their eyes and looked over, looking down on everyone with contempt.

The tall and strong black knight walked past the villagers without any intention of moving away.

The villagers hurriedly stepped back, but some children who didn't have time to react were knocked down by the protruding horse's belly.
