The next day.
Before dawn, Lu Qiqi woke up. She went into her spatial dimension to wash up and then put all the things she had tidied up in the tent into her spatial dimension.
He left behind only a small bundle and a wooden box as a cover, and had Nineteen arrange for them to be loaded onto the carriage.
When Lu Qiqi entered the tent, she found that Song Yanqing's tent was unusually warm without a charcoal fire.
Song Yanqing waved to her, "Come on, have something to eat so we can continue our journey."
After finishing a bowl of hot noodle soup, Lu Qiqi drank the last drop of soup, put the bowl down heavily, and let out a satisfied sigh.
"This noodle dish is delicious! Your cooking skills have improved!"
Upon hearing this, Song Yanqing's smile widened considerably.
After breakfast, the two showed no sign of parting.
Perhaps thinking that they would be able to be together soon, they felt that this short separation was all for the sake of making plans for the future.
Before leaving the military camp, Lu Qiqi and Song Yanqing went to the East Camp.
Lu Dashan died in battle at the foot of the Dongying city gate.
Lu Qiqi wanted to go back and build a cenotaph for Lu Dashan, so she wanted to take a handful of yellow soil from the battlefields where Lu Dashan had fought.
The two walked to the gate of Dongying City, and Lu Qiqi spread a cloth bag on the ground and scooped up a handful of yellow soil with both hands.
She squatted down below the city gate, her figure appearing frail and her movements incredibly desolate from a distance.
Many soldiers in Dongying stopped to discuss the matter.
Because Song Yanqing was present, Lu Qiqi didn't hear a single word.
She carried a handful of yellow earth to his side and said, "The war was brutal, and a year has passed. It won't be easy to find his remains."
Let this handful of yellow earth carry his heroic spirit to reunite with the Chen family.
Song Yanqing noticed her low spirits and reminded her, "It's getting late, let's go."
As Lu Qiqi nodded, Lu Da, upon hearing that she was returning to her hometown, quickly put down what he was doing and came to see her off.
"Lord of the Village!"
A strange light flashed in Song Yanqing's eyes. She slowly turned her head and saw Lu Da walking in front of her.
After bowing to Song Yanqing, Lu Da handed the bundle in his hand to Lu Qiqi. "Inside are oyster shells from the border town. I heard in Tianxin Village that the village head has many children. They will surely like these little things."
Lu Qiqi had considered bringing local specialties back to her hometown. She had cattle and sheep from the Tartars in her space, and the food they made was definitely not comparable to that of ordinary domesticated animals.
Things like seashells were something she hadn't thought about.
However, Lu Yao would definitely like it.
Thinking of this, she didn't stand on ceremony and accepted the seashell directly.
Song Yanqing stared at the bundle until his eyes ached, then he coughed softly.
As expected, it caught Lu Qiqi's attention. "Go back and have Physician Ren brew the medicine for you. An Yi will help supervise."
Song Yanqing, “…”
Lu Da and Lu Qiqi's friendship in Tianxin Village was not enough to keep them occupied for too long. After a few words, Lu Qiqi set off and left Dongying.
Lu Qiqi thought that by saying goodbye to everyone, she could avoid the scene of everyone seeing her off.
To her surprise, the carriage slowly moved forward and stopped just before reaching the border gate.
"Seven Seven".
Lu Qiqi lifted the carriage curtain and saw Feng Yuer and Zhou Yi.
When she stepped off the carriage, she noticed several familiar faces standing beneath it.
The imperial physician and his son, the doctors from the wounded soldiers' camp, the noble ladies she had previously treated, and the lady who had been demanding money in front of the Wu residence all gathered at the foot of the border tower.
Suddenly, Lu Qiqi recalled the scene of leaving Tianxin Village, where the villagers saw her off, not stopping until their carriage was completely full.
Therefore, Lu Qiqi took a look around and found that everyone's hands were empty before she breathed a sigh of relief.
When Feng Yu'er saw her get off the carriage, she quickly walked over and hugged her tightly.
This time, Lu Qiqi was prepared, and because Feng Yuer didn't step on the stairs, she didn't feel suffocated.
Feng Yu'er hugged her tightly for a moment, then let go and stuffed a handful of silver notes into her arms. "Qiqi, when you go back, don't forget me. And don't forget me when you have other girlfriends."
Lu Qiqi looked at the silver note and said with a smile, "I can't forget it, I can't forget it at all."
After that, it was Mrs. Zhang from the pharmacy who said goodbye.
Previously, Mr. Zhang and Lu Qiqi signed a cooperation agreement, which was clearly written in black and white.
Now, Madam Zhang sees her not only as her savior, but also as a business partner who helps Zhang's Pharmacy make money.
Madam Zhang walked up to her and said, "Princess, we ladies came here to see you off when we learned that you were returning to your hometown."
Before Lu Qiqi could express her gratitude, Madam Zhang added, "These are all our heartfelt gifts; we hope the Township Head will not find them offensive."
As she spoke, Madam Zhang's maidservant presented a list to Lu Qiqi.
When Lu Qiqi heard Madam Zhang's words, she realized that there was another carriage on the left.
Good heavens, are these people here to see her off, or to help her get rich?
Finally, there were Imperial Physician Ren and Ren Yuan.
While in the military camp, Lu Qiqi had already bid farewell to the doctor in the wounded soldiers' camp and even gave the father and son a set of suture medical equipment.
Lu Qiqi was naturally moved by the two people's farewell.
“My lord, I have nothing of value to offer you,” said Physician Ren, as he took out a jade pendant. “This jade pendant was a gift from my master. With this pendant, you can persuade your fellow disciples to help you.”
Whether they are imperial physicians still on duty in the palace or retired to their hometowns, it doesn't matter.
This jade pendant is more effective than an imperial edict.
