Li Changlong was no longer moved by Lu Qiqi's ability to hunt wild boars.
This was the first time the bodyguards had ever seen a woman who was even more formidable than their master's wife.
Therefore, everyone praised Lu Qiqi highly.
Gu Shaoqing stared wide-eyed at the wild boar lying motionless on the ground.
He really didn't dare to associate Lu Qiqi with wild boars in any way.
But the facts were undeniable, forcing him to believe it.
Therefore, he finally realized why Lu Qiqi was so calm and composed in front of Gu Laoda, without any fear.
How could a woman who could hunt down even a ferocious wild boar be intimidated by a few words?
If Gu Shaoqing knew that Lu Qiqi killed Tartars and bandits without even blinking, I wonder what his expression would be.
As night fell, the aroma of meat filled the woods.
The fire burned brightly, and voices rang out.
The woodcutter, who was hiding in the woods observing, was suspicious. Why were these people staying here for so long when they weren't in a hurry to get to the border?
However, since the leader let them pass...
As a lowly henchman, he naturally wouldn't offer any opinions.
Thinking of this, he slung his wood-chopping knife over his shoulder and headed towards the mountain stronghold.
...
The next day, in order to store more meat, Lu Qiqi took Wangcai hunting again.
This time, Lu Qiqi spotted her prey and disappeared overnight.
It was as if everyone had moved away; she hadn't heard or seen a single bird.
Just as she was about to return empty-handed, Wangcai suddenly rushed towards a certain place.
Seeing this, Lu Qiqi quickly followed.
Wangcai is running so fast, he must have discovered something.
Sure enough, Lu Qiqi found more than a dozen gray rabbits and five or six roe deer in a cave.
The cave wasn't large, but it was just big enough to hold all the animals.
What's going on?
She had never heard of any animal with such a hunting habit.
They would kill all the animals and store them in their own dens.
Even wolves, which have a habit of hiding food, wouldn't do such a thing.
After all, the flesh of someone who has just died is soft and easier to tear.
If left too long, the blood will coagulate, and the animal's muscles will stiffen, making it less convenient to tear and bite.
"Wangcai, let's go!"
Lu Qiqi felt that this place was not suitable for her to stay for long and was about to take Wangcai back when she saw a tiger appear at the cave entrance.
It was holding a silly spore in its mouth, but this time, the silly spore was hanging upside down.
Lu Qiqi realized that the male tiger might have understood her words.
Determined to catch something alive for her, she nearly wiped out the wild rabbits and roe deer!
Seeing the cave full of animals, Lu Qiqi felt that her deduction was reasonable, which gave her a bit of a headache.
Keep your word.
Fortunately, her space was upgraded, so she could store these animals without worrying about the meat rotting.
So she kept her promise and put the male tiger into her spatial dimension.
Before the male tiger entered the space, Lu Qiqi gave it a name that matched Xiao Hua's.
Xiao Ye!
After all, red flowers accompany green leaves.
Lu Qiqi returned to their lodgings with Wangcai and found that there was an extra carriage.
She guessed it must have been Monday, and that's when it arrived.
As Lu Qiqi hurried back to her lodgings, she saw Zhou Yi's back.
Upon seeing Lu Qiqi, Zhou Yi looked apologetic and explained the whole story.
It turned out that after buying the carriage on Monday, they felt they had plenty of time, so they went back to Tianxin Village.
Not only the villagers of Tianxin Village, but also the villagers of the other three villages rushed to see Lu Qiqi off when they learned that she was going to the border.
They were just a step too late. At that moment, they happened to run into Zhou Yi, who was driving an empty horse-drawn carriage and stopped at the entrance of Tianxin Village.
Therefore, the hospitable villagers asked him to take the things with him.
On Monday, while sitting in the carriage, he was surrounded by villagers. They only let him go when the carriage was completely full.
The worst part was that the carriage couldn't withstand such weight, and it broke down with a crack shortly after it started moving.
Upon hearing this, Lu Qiqi's lips twitched, and she felt a deep sense of sympathy for Zhou Yiba.
By the time the carriage was repaired, a whole day had already passed.
When I arrived at Yi'an Village on Monday, I saw the words left by Lu Qiqi.
There were six characters in total, but he only recognized two of them.
The word 'you'.
The word 'wait'.
In order to avoid misinterpreting the meaning, he disregarded everything else and went back to find someone to interpret it for him.
Before long, a lot of time was wasted.
Lu Qiqi thought that when they encountered corpses scattered all over the ground, they quickened their pace.
Since Monday had never traveled this road before, his journey was naturally not as smooth as that of the escort agency.
So she nodded and patted Zhou Yi on the shoulder.
"It's good that we made it."
Lu Qiqi wanted to say something more on Monday, but in the end she couldn't hold back and spoke her mind.
"Once we reach the border, I will hire a tutor for you to teach you to read and write!"
Lu Qiqi felt a tightness in her chest whenever she thought about the six words she had left behind.
We're waiting for you up ahead, come quickly.
Not recognizing even six simple characters is a clear case of being uneducated!
Lu Qiqi was shocked to think that in order to wait for Monday, she had let a male tiger cling to her.
They could only swallow their bitterness.
After all, she couldn't just let the tiger out and swagger off to the border with her!
Now that everyone has arrived, it's time to get going to the border.
It just so happens that an empty horse-drawn carriage arrived on Monday. Although it had been repaired, it was more than enough to carry Panax notoginseng.
So Lu Qiqi put all the Sanqi (a type of medicinal herb) into the carriage driven by Zhou Yi.
The group continued on their way.
Upon reaching the foot of a mountain, Gu Shaoqing was about to pay his respects to the mountain peak.
This time, Lu Qiqi did not go with him. If she remembered correctly, when they fled the famine, she poisoned about a hundred bandits on this mountain.
A year has passed, and the village must have become a mass grave, littered with corpses and reeking of foul odors.
Sure enough, Gu Shaoqing returned with a pale face.
The gift box for visiting the grave was not sent.
It was exactly as she had estimated.
After passing through the mountain village, it didn't take long before we reached the territory of Yushan Town.
Li Changlong drove the carriage and reminded Lu Qiqi inside, "Qiqi, we're almost at Yushan Town. Shall we go back and take a look?"
The original owner may have had a deep affection for Yushan Town.
After all, this is the place where she was born and raised.
For Lu Qiqi, it was just a place where she stayed for two days.
The memory left for her was the scene of being humiliated when she first came here.
There's really nothing to miss.
Lu Qiqi said, "No, we've been fleeing famine for so long, going back would only bring back painful memories."
The small, dilapidated house she and Lu Yao lived in might have collapsed long ago due to lack of repairs.
Thinking of this, Lu Qiqi suddenly remembered something and called out, "Second Brother, I want to go and pay my respects to my mother."
