Three days passed in a flash.
Yesterday's clear sky did not continue today. I thought the snow would stop, but unexpectedly it started to rain as soon as the sky got light in the morning.
The rain in winter turns into ice when it falls on the ground, making the road even more slippery and difficult to walk on.
Liu Ji got up early to study and looked at the freezing rain outside the window, feeling both sad and happy.
If the weather is bad, can the teacher delay his departure?
But as soon as this thought passed through his mind, Liu Ji sighed.
With the teacher's temper, even if he wanted to kill me today, he would have to leave today.
Helplessly, he got up, changed into thick clothes, and went to the front hall holding an umbrella.
The children gathered around the fireplace in the main room to eat breakfast. Qin Yao stood in the room, holding two steamed buns in her hand and ate them quickly. Then she signaled to Liu Jina, and the couple went out together.
"Mother!" Dalang ran out of the house and handed the small self-made album he had prepared overnight to Qin Yao, "Can you help me hand this album of memories to the Immortal Official?"
Qin Yao motioned Liu Ji to take the things with him and nodded to the child, "It will be delivered. Go back. It's cold outside."
Dalang obediently retreated under the eaves, but did not go into the house. He watched his parents lead the horse down the hillside. After a long time, he heard his younger brothers and sisters arguing and making noise in the house, so he went back into the house.
Erlang was teasing Sanlang again. Sanlang, who couldn't stand being teased, would get angry every time.
However, the quarrel between the two brothers ended instantly when the eldest brother came in. They sat aside, snorted, and ignored each other.
Si Niang held up her chin and looked at the gray light projected from the sky onto the window frame, praying that the freezing rain would stop soon and not delay the people who were about to travel.
Perhaps the little girl's sincerity moved the heavens. When everyone in the Lotus Courtyard packed up their luggage, closed the gate and prepared to leave, warmth came, the dark clouds broke, and a ray of dazzling golden light leaked from the sky.
"The sky is clearing up!" Shitou and other guards were overjoyed.
Liu Ji, who was sitting in the car with his teacher and senior brother, suddenly felt depressed. There was absolutely no reason to keep the teacher for two more days.
The emotion of reluctance rarely appears for a heartless person like Liu Ji.
But this year he has been reluctant to do so several times.
In the past, he came and went naked without any worries.
Nowadays, there are more and more constraints, and I can no longer act as freely as before, and I have more concerns.
After taking a look at the full sun in the sky, Liu Jichong nodded slightly to his wife who was riding beside him and lowered the curtain.
"Let's go." Qin Yao said to Shitou and the others with a smile, "We will take you to Xiahe Village and then come back."
The guards nodded with joy. With Shi Tou in front, they urged their horses to move, and the whole team started moving.
When they arrived at the village entrance, the black cavalry, who had already retrieved their weapons, armor and horses, were waiting there.
Qin Yao glanced at the leading Bai He from a distance.
The man wrapped himself in cold armor and a bamboo hat, leaving only a pair of eagle-like sharp eyes exposed, showing his mighty and domineering aura.
Unfortunately, she was extremely confident in her own strength. Bai He's injuries must not have healed at this time, so she was just bluffing.
Qin Yao and the Qi family guards exchanged glances quickly, and the guards changed from clearing the way to guarding the main carriage in front, behind, and on both sides.
Zhen Yubai came to the front of the convoy. The deadlock needed someone to break it, so he had to step forward and act as cannon fodder.
The Black Knights' fear and dread of Qin Yao were reflected in the 100-meter distance they kept from the convoy today.
However, as soon as Zhen Yubai opened his mouth, Liu Ji leaned most of his body out from the car door and reproduced the teacher's answer one by one.
His eyes narrowed proudly, his nostrils pointed at people, the corners of his mouth raised in a mocking manner, and the tip of his tongue uttered: "Get lost!"
Zhen Yubai: "."
He smiled awkwardly, bowed again, then tactfully stepped aside and looked at Bai He with a bit of sympathy, indicating that he had tried his best to ease the situation, but the other party was not buying it.
So, the Qi family convoy walked in front, and Bai He and a dozen black cavalrymen kept a distance of one hundred meters and lagged far behind.
Although he had complaints, he trembled and dared not speak when he saw Qin Yao's proud back riding on the horse.
Qin Yao and Liu Ji said that they would send the teacher to Xiahe Village and then return.
But when they arrived at Xiahe Village, Liu Ji poked his head out and asked, "My wife, since we are already here, why don't we walk a little further and return after reaching the town's official road?"
Qin Yao nodded, "Okay."
Seeing that the couple had no intention of turning back, the white crane that was lagging behind felt a slight pain in his chest and his internal injuries suddenly worsened.
An hour later, Jinshi Town arrived.
Bai He immediately raised his eyes, which were drooping under the bamboo hat, looking forward to the scene of the Qi and Liu families bidding farewell reluctantly.
No, there isn’t!
This time it was Qin Yao who took the initiative to speak, "We're already here, let's see you off for a while, we'll go back when we get to the county town."
Bai He, who witnessed the whole process, felt a sweetness in his throat. He clenched 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 transported to the provincial capital.
Qi Xianguan hurriedly called for a stop and pushed Liu Ji out of the carriage, "Junior brother, let's stop here."
Worried that if he said too much, the psychological defense he had worked so hard to prepare would be broken, Qi Xianguan immediately closed the car door and ordered the guards to continue on their journey.
Qin Yao rode her horse back to the side of the road, and Liu Ji leaned over to rest his arm against the horse's belly. The couple watched the convoy go away and waved their arms.
"Goodbye, senior brother! Goodbye, teacher!" Liu Ji swung his arms harder and harder, with a large swing, and unfortunately blocked the way of Bai He who was following behind.
Liu Ji realized it later and felt a chill on his back. He turned around and was so scared that he quickly pulled his arm back.
But relying on his wife behind him, he did not forget to sneer at Baihe and other black cavalrymen with disgust.
Seeing Bai He's face turn darker than the bottom of a pot, Qin Yao said slowly, "Husband, don't be rude to Master He."
Liu Ji looked at her in surprise, not because she called him husband, but because she actually called him Lord Black Crow?
Qin Yao waved her hand lightly, motioning Liu Ji to stay aside, turned her horse's head to face Bai He, and bowed politely with her fists clasped.
"Master He, please take care of the safety of the sir and the young master along the way."
As he spoke, he took out two bags from his bag, which contained the internal injury medicine that Awang had prepared overnight, and handed them over with both hands.
"I was forced to do so by the situation. I did not mean to hurt you. Here are two bottles of medicine for internal injuries. Take it three times a day, one big sip each time. Two bottles are enough for six days. Your injuries will be healed in six days."
But the weather is so cold, the medicine shouldn't go bad if it's only stored for six days, right?
Forget it, why think so much, sincerity is enough. Qin Yao thought confidently in her heart.
When Bai He saw the leather bag she handed over, he was shocked and his eyes were full of doubt. He hesitated whether to take it.
It would be good to turn enemies into friends, but is this village woman worth it?
Qin Yao smiled slightly, and handed it forward again, her eyes looking straight into Bai He's, with a hint of impatience hidden in them: Please don't be ungrateful!
You are quite polite. Bai He curled his lips and reluctantly stretched out his hands to take the two leather bags filled with medicine. (End of this chapter)
