Zhen Yubai bowed to Gong Liangliao and Qi Xiangguan apologetically, then hurriedly supported the blood-covered Bai He and led the remaining black cavalry away.
Qin Yao would not allow any of the horses to move, so Zhen Yubai could only carry Bai He, who was about to faint, on his back and hurriedly sent him to the barefoot doctor in Liujia Village for treatment.
The Black Knights had lost all their equipment and were left with only their weak bodies. Even if they wanted to find a better doctor for Bai He, they could only rely on their own two feet.
Borrow a car from the villagers?
I absolutely dare not do that!
If they disturbed the villagers here, the female chief of Liujia Village would definitely kill them.
It is one thing to serve your master even if it means death, but it is another thing to never seek death while you can live. The Black Knights are actually very self-consistent.
On snowy days, without tall horses for transportation, people have to use twice as much effort as usual to take every step in the snow.
This short section of village road seems so far away, as if there is no end to it no matter how far you walk.
At Lianyuan, the crisis has been temporarily resolved.
But no one could laugh except Liu Ji, who was still flattering Qin Yao.
Qin Yao waved away Liu Ji who was approaching her, glanced at him coldly, and successfully stopped Liu Ji from chattering.
He came to Qi Xianguan and patted the young man's shoulder apologetically. "I'll have someone rebuild the courtyard wall later. Fortunately, this side is not facing the north wind. We can temporarily block it with wooden boards. It's still possible to survive the winter."
Qi Xianguan took a deep look at the ruins. The clever young man had already understood the woman in front of him's intention to persuade him to retreat.
Although he felt a little reluctant and lost, he asked himself, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince investigated, would he be able to protect them?
The answer is – not at all.
At that time, he was just an ordinary person with the title of Juren. If he had not been protected by his great-grandfather who was a prime minister, let alone His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, just the subordinates of his subordinates, a White Crane Warrior, could have killed him a hundred times.
".I'm sorry." Qi Xianguan looked up at Qin Yao. Her bright black eyes curved at him encouragingly, making him feel ashamed.
"It has nothing to do with you." Qin Yao patted the boy's head gently, "Come to my house for dinner."
Qi Xianguan nodded heavily: "Okay."
After handing the Black Cavalry's horses, weapons and soft armor to the Qi family's guards for safekeeping, the group followed Qin Yao and his wife home.
The children came out worriedly, but when they saw that the adults were fine, they sensibly did not ask any more questions and went back to their rooms.
Only Dalang stayed. He felt that Qi Xiangguan's mood seemed not right, and there was a hint of sadness in his eyes when he looked at him.
While the adults were making tea and taking a break, Dalang shouted twice at Qi Xianguan outside the main hall.
This was the secret signal between the two of them. When Qi Xianguan heard the noise, he turned his head and looked outside the door. Seeing Dalang waving at him again, he smiled with his eyes bent, half bent his waist, and slipped out of the door.
In fact, the adults in the house had already seen the two teenagers' little actions, but they pretended not to notice.
Qin Yao was so calm even in the face of major events that Yin Le thought his master would be doomed when he got home.
Unexpectedly, the master had no intention of holding Gong Liangliao accountable. He just arranged for Gong Liangliao to sit next to the fireplace in the house, poured him some tea, and comforted him with silent actions.
Both of them knew that the crisis had only been postponed, not resolved.
Bai He and others did not leave Liujia Village. The school was suspended due to the heavy snow, so Zhen Yubai arranged all the Black Cavalry to go to the school.
Bai He's injury requires nearly half a month to recuperate, and Gong Liangliao only has this half a month to catch his breath.
If no better solution can be found during this period of time, leaving will not change the situation.
Liu Ji didn't know whether he didn't think about it or had never thought about it at all. He spoke smugly about the embarrassment of Bai He and others and the majesty of his wife as if he had survived a disaster.
Gong Liangliao just smiled and looked around, his eyes concealing reluctance and cherishment.
Yin Le went to the kitchen to help prepare dinner. After Qin Yao comforted Gong Liangliao a little, she set off to the village. On the one hand, she explained the situation to the villagers, and on the other hand, she checked the production progress of the stationery factory and reminded Song Yu to prepare a plan to deal with the snow season.
The second batch of ladies' boxes is about to be delivered, and no accidents can occur at this critical juncture.
Song Yu nodded in agreement and asked about the situation of the black cavalry with concern.
When the trouble happened at Lianyuan, all the young and old in the village followed the village chief's instructions and hid at home. They only heard a loud bang and the sound of collapse.
Afterwards, Master Zhen was seen leading the black cavalry in a hurry to Doctor Liu's house. As for what exactly happened, it was not clear at all.
The unknown will make people feel fear. Song Yu’s worries are also the worries of all the villagers in the village.
Almost every household in the village has someone working in the stationery factory, so Qin Yao picked out some information that could be shared with everyone and told the workers to take the news back home so that the villagers could rest assured.
"They came to invite the great scholar to come out of seclusion. There were some minor conflicts with the Qi family, but everything is fine now. They will probably stay in the village for a while. Everyone should avoid them if possible to avoid unnecessary trouble."
Upon hearing this, the workers secretly breathed a sigh of relief and nodded to indicate that they had taken note of it.
Qin Yao waved her hand and said, "Everyone, keep busy. The weather is cold, so be careful when using the fire to keep warm."
After settling the workers at the stationery factory, Qin Yao returned home.
The timing was just right, dinner was ready, and Awang and Yin Le were bringing the food to the table.
Dalang and Qi Xianguan, who had secretly run away, also ran back smelling the fragrance of food. Qi Xianguan was holding a grasshopper made of straw in his hand. He was in high spirits, completely different from his previous melancholy.
Dalang went to call out his younger brothers and sisters, and the two families sat around the big round table, looking forward to the sumptuous dishes.
Qin Yao nodded to Gong Liangliao. Gong Liangliao smiled and picked up the chopsticks. He started to eat first, but he did not pick up food for himself. Instead, he picked up a piece of braised pork for Qi Xianguan and Liu Ji who were sitting on his left and right.
"Eat." Gong Liangliao said jokingly to the four brothers and sisters of Dalang who were sitting across the table.
When the children heard this, their eyes lit up and they couldn't wait to pick up their chopsticks to pick up their favorite food.
There aren't so many restrictions and rules when eating at Qin Yao's house. As long as you pay attention to hygiene and don't make trouble and affect other people's meals, you can do whatever you like.
Qi Xiangguan was not very adaptable when he first came to the village, but now he has integrated perfectly. While eating, he turned his head to talk to Dalang and others in a low voice, and I don’t know what he said, but the children couldn’t help laughing.
Everyone enjoyed this dinner very much.
After the meal, everyone gathered together again, listened to Qin Yao's explanation, and under her leadership, played the game of dropping the handkerchief.
Those who don't have a handkerchief don't need to move, Gong Liangliao can also participate. If an old man is hit, he will gladly accept the punishment because he can't run.
Then, he immediately pushed his wheelchair behind everyone and continued to select the next unlucky person with great enthusiasm.
The game is childish and does not require any brainpower, but because the people playing together are different, a wonderful chemical reaction is produced.
That night, the laughter on the north hillside continued until late at night.
This confused everyone who was paying attention to what was happening here. Could it be that the blood and the collapsed ruins seen during the day were all fake? (End of this chapter)
