"Hurry up and do your homework. Finish it early and rest early. You have to get up early tomorrow." Yin Le urged.
"Yeah." Si Niang nodded and told Yin Le to leave dinner on the kitchen stove. She then ran to the main room to get her a bowl of water. Then she returned to the room and sat in front of the window to do her homework.
The two smiled at each other across the courtyard.
Seeing Si Niang start doing her homework, Yin Le walked into the kitchen to have dinner.
Due to the huge physical exertion, her appetite also increased a lot. She ate all the large bowl of food that Li had specially left for her, and drank two large bowls of water. Only then did she burp in satisfaction.
Qin Yao found a relatively intact wolf skin from the storeroom and handed it to Yin Le, "Cowhide is the best for making belts, so take this wolf skin and exchange it for a piece of cowhide."
Yin Le was slightly stunned and felt a little at a loss.
"It's going to rain tomorrow, so the five-kilometer race and the night training will be cancelled." This half day will allow her to recover her energy.
"What are you standing there for? Take it!" Seeing that Yin Le didn't move, Qin Yao stuffed the wolf skin into her arms and reminded her to find her in the back mountain in two quarters of an hour so that she could teach her how to use darts.
Yin Le stared blankly at her leaving back, and blinked for a long time. He lowered his head to look at the soft wolf skin in his arms, and rubbed it with his face curiously. The fur was very soft, and he suddenly felt reluctant to exchange it for cowhide.
But the belt had to be made, and she had to change it because she was short of money.
Yin Le rubbed it a few more times reluctantly, then folded the wolf skin and sat down to massage his legs.
The rest time is over, so gather your energy and set off immediately. Try to go to bed early tonight!
Unfortunately, tonight it was still the end of the hour of Hai before the master and disciple came down from the back mountain.
Yin Le, leaning on a stick in his hand and facing the speechless gaze of his master, walked back to the village step by step with difficulty.
Qin Yao was still a little worried until she saw the lights on in the ancestral house of Liu Dafu in the village on the other side of the river. She knew that everyone had returned safely, so she closed the door and went back to her room to sleep.
Maybe it was because I got this sharp weapon, the iron rod, today, and I was so excited that I had trouble falling asleep for a while.
Judging from the date, Liu Ji and Awang should have boarded the ship, right?
According to her instructions before the two of them set off, a letter should be handed to her before boarding the ship. The letter may be on the way now.
But the actual situation was different from what Qin Yao had estimated. Liu Ji and Awang only arrived in the city today.
In the middle of the night, Liu Ji suddenly woke up from his dream with a start, "Oh no, I forgot to write a letter to my wife!"
He quickly crawled to the table, lit the candle, spread out the paper, and started grinding.
After all, they will be boarding the ship early tomorrow morning, so the letter must be written tonight so that it can be sent immediately tomorrow morning.
In order not to delay the scientific expedition, the Qi family's ship will not stop at any port during this period, and there will be no contact with the outside world for ten full days.
Therefore, if I fall asleep, the consequences will be disastrous!
Liu Ji ground the wood with one hand and patted his face with the other to wake himself up, feeling lucky that he did not fall asleep.
While his roommate Awang, who had already fallen asleep and was woken up, looked at him with a stabbing look, Liu Ji picked up a pen and began to write a letter.
As I put the first stroke of the pen, I wanted to tell her about my thrilling and narrow escapes along the way, but as the pen finished, I suddenly felt that it would be better not to tell her.
After all, nothing really happened along the way, and all the thrills and fears and close calls were all thanks to his own imagination.
Liu Ji felt very wronged about this.
He was very surprised and flattered when he suddenly found out that he had a follower before leaving.
but!
He is just a bastard, he is not stupid, he has brains too!
What does it mean that the evil woman sent Awang to him for no reason?
Are you worried that he might encounter some unexpected danger along the way?
Like the fatal kind?
Otherwise, why wasn't it Qian Wang, Song Yu, or the eldest and second brothers who were the followers?
On the first day of departure from Liujia Village, Liu Ji was in a state of complete fear.
The carriage suddenly ran over a rock and bounced, and he was so scared that he squealed like a pig.
Awang was speechless and rode his horse calmly on.
Liu Ji never liked to torture himself, so he began to test him indirectly.
"Awang, you came out with me, the master. Are you feeling resentful?"
Awang: “No.”
"Why aren't you smiling?"
Awang: "I don't like to laugh."
"Hahaha, I saw through you, right? Tell me the truth! Are we being targeted by someone? Someone is jealous of your master's extraordinary beauty, so they want to get rid of me as soon as possible!"
Awando blinked his eyes and said honestly, "No one is jealous of your extraordinary beauty, Master."
Liu Ji raised his eyebrows. Oh no, he didn't refute his first question.
That means someone is really targeting you!
It’s over, Liu Ji thought.
Just then a gust of wind blew over, and Awang felt extremely hot. However, his master was suddenly startled, broke out in a cold sweat, wrapped himself tightly, and looked around.
Awang: "Master, you don't have to panic. No one wants to kill you."
Liu Ji's eyes widened instantly, "What did you say? Someone really wants to kill me? Who is it? How dare they kill the scholar appointed by the court!"
Awang frowned in annoyance, hating himself for not being able to lie.
The more you talk, the more mistakes you make; the less you talk, the fewer mistakes you make, so Awang chose to remain silent.
However, he didn't know that in Liu Ji's eyes, this sudden silence was equivalent to a death sentence for him.
At night, the two of them camped outside the post station, listening to the sound of the wind and the birds singing in the woods. Liu Ji stayed awake until dawn, not daring to sleep at all.
When Awang saw that this mental state was not conducive to scientific research, he used his own strength to calm the master's frightened heart a little - he took the master into the mountains to camp.
At dawn the next day, there was so much prey on the ground that there was more than enough to eat.
The two of them also went into the town and sold a lot, earning five taels of silver, and successfully stayed in a luxurious inn at night.
Unfortunately, a vicious robbery occurred in the inn that night, which frightened Liu Ji so much that he thought the robbery was targeting him. He threatened Awang to take him back to the mountains to lie down for two more days, and he refused to come down the mountain no matter what.
It was not until Awang could no longer bear it and forcibly carried him down the mountain that the two were able to continue their journey.
As a result, we arrived at the city three days later than expected!
In just a few days, Awang felt the exhaustion that he had never felt when he was fleeing before, and he missed the days when he was farming in the village.
Fortunately, I arrived at the He Mansion tonight and can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Awang took a comfortable bath, changed into clean clothes, and lay on the soft bedding, thus replenishing his exhausted energy.
but!
The old man who woke him up didn't care about his life or death. After writing the letter, he grabbed him and stuffed the letter into his hand, saying, "Take it out and mail it tomorrow morning."
Then he lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
Awang looked down at the letter in his hand, then looked up at Liu Ji, who was lying on the bed and snoring, with his cheeks clenched.
He had a bold idea, but he didn't know whether he should think of it or not - to sacrifice the eldest master as well.
