Chapter 87 Farewell
Twelve days later, after crossing several mountains, we finally saw the official road.
The head of the village said: "Let's rest here tonight! We can reach Lincheng tomorrow after another day's journey."
Everyone was filled with hope when they heard this. As long as they passed one city, it meant that they would be one less city away from Nanzhou City.
Fuqi looked at Xu Zhiyi who was busy packing things, walked to her side, and said goodbye in advance: "Miss Zhiyi, I have to leave tomorrow! Lincheng and Kyoto are two different directions."
Xu Zhiyi paused after hearing this, feeling reluctant, but still nodded and raised the corner of his mouth: "Okay, then I wish you a smooth journey, and we'll see you later"
After hearing this, Fuqi smiled and said, "Okay, see you later."
Then he leaned close to Xu Zhiyi's ear and said, "Miss Zhiyi, if you get into big trouble, take the jade pendant I gave you and go find Lin Xu, the prefect of Nanzhou City. He will help you."
Xu Zhiyi was surprised when he heard this. A jade pendant could make the prefect go out. What kind of status does this Fuqi girl have? If she can make the prefect listen to her, then her status must be higher than that of the prefect.
Oh my god! She saved a big guy!!!
Fu Qi looked at Xu Zhiyi, who was full of shock, and patted her on the shoulder before turning away, saying only: "You'll know when we meet next time."
Hearing this, Xu Zhiyi looked at Fuqi's back and became more and more curious! A noble lady from Kyoto who was of the right age and had power in hand, could make powerful officials listen to her.
He is a martial arts expert. In the original owner's memory, he heard that three years ago, General Lu was framed by a traitor and the enemy forces, and he almost died in the battlefield. He was also said to be seriously injured.
Later, I heard that General Lu’s daughter, Lu Yuexi, led a thousand soldiers into the enemy camp. She went straight for the enemy general. In that battle, she chopped off the enemy general’s head.
When the Regent Princess heard that Lu Yuexi had ended the war cleanly and efficiently by herself, she requested that the court appoint her as the first female general of Fenglin State. It was said that she was only sixteen years old at the time, and now it seems that she is just under twenty years old.
However, the people had said that the only female general, Lu Yuexi, had been guarding the border with her father, General Lu, and had once declared that Wu Zhao would never return to the capital. So...
Oh! Why does she think so much? Go away, live your life well, it's better than anything else.
However, during these twelve days, under the strict requirements of Miss Fuqi, everyone practiced martial arts for two hours every day, half an hour at noon, and one and a half hours before going to bed at night.
Now everyone is fully capable of protecting themselves. As long as they don’t encounter someone with high martial arts skills, everyone can fight back easily.
Afterwards, Xu Zhiyi told everyone that Fuqi was leaving. After hearing that Fuqi was leaving tomorrow, everyone was reluctant to see her go. They had spent more than half a month together with her, and she had taught them martial arts with all her heart.
Everyone has long regarded Miss Fuqi as a friend or a master! Now that she is leaving suddenly, I am really reluctant to let her go.
So everyone took out their best food, and tonight everyone gave Miss Fuqi a good farewell party.
Xu Zhiyi saw Fuqi coming back with a goat from a distance. He put the goat in front of her and said, "I'll leave it to you! Bring some meat tonight. I just used my Qinggong to hunt it in the mountains."
Hearing this, Xu Zhiyi picked up the goat with both hands and said, "Okay, I'll skin it now."
Ever since she saved Miss Fuqi, she no longer dared to take food out of the space, and even her water was fetched from the water source that the village head and others found.
In the evening, everyone sat together around a big fire, eating roasted lamb, drinking mutton soup, and eating steamed corn bread made of a mixture of black and white flour. This was the most relaxing meal they had had since fleeing the famine.
The headman picked up the soup bowl and looked at Fuqi: "Miss Fuqi, thank you for your dedication in teaching us martial arts for more than ten days. I am not good at giving a long speech, but thank you very much. Conditions are limited now, so I will use soup instead of wine to toast you. I will drink it first as a sign of respect."
Upon hearing this, Fuqi picked up the soup bowl, drank it in one gulp, and raised the bowl in his hand.
Seeing this, the people around also wanted to offer soup.
Wang Xiaohe: "Master, you taught Xiaohe martial arts. No matter where you are in the future, you are my master in my heart. I would like to offer you a bowl of soup."
Fuqi: “…………”
“Master, we respect you too.”
Then everyone picked up their soup bowls.
Fuqi: "Uh! I just guided you for more than ten days, and forced you to train according to my requirements. Just don't blame me. The title of Master is too heavy!"
"How could that be possible! I did have some back pain in the first few days, but now, no matter how hard I train, I still have strength in my body."
Xu Zhiyi looked at everyone and said loudly: "Hey, no matter if it's Master or friend, we must toast with this soup. Let's toast together. If you each have a bowl like this, Miss Fuqi's stomach will not be able to bear it."
When everyone heard this, they realized that Miss Fuqi had drunk two bowls of soup in a row! She also ate meat, so her stomach must be full!
Fuqi: "During the rest of your journey, you must take at least half an hour every day to practice martial arts! Don't fall behind!"
"Yes, sir. From now on, we will spend an hour every day practicing martial arts and never slack off."
The happier this side is, the more miserable the other side is!!
"Wow! Mommy!!"
"Wow! Milk!!"
The villagers of Liuhe Village were so hungry that their cheeks were sunken. In the past ten days, nearly twenty elderly people in the team had died of starvation and thirst.
Since most of their food and water were robbed, the few remaining people who had their food not robbed felt that it was unfair, so they joined forces to rob all the food from those families in their village who had food!
Because of this incident, several lives were lost. There was too little food left, and everyone could only eat tree bark and leaves along the way for three days, but no water source was found.
In order to save the children's lives, the old men in the team had no choice but to bleed them, so along the way, one after another they fell down and never got up again.
Song raised her head. Her eyes were bulging frighteningly and her face looked like a skeleton wrapped in human skin. She looked at the old neighbor who had died of excessive blood loss while bleeding her grandson.
Then he looked down at his dying little son in his arms.
It turned out that when things were going well, her little son was the beloved grandson of his parents-in-law. But now that things were tough, it was the two of them who were most afraid of death, and they just watched Jinbao faint from thirst and hunger.
Song lowered her head and began to cry. After she stopped crying, she took a knife, cut her palm, pried open Xu Jinbao's mouth, and dripped blood into it.
Xu Yunyue, who was standing by, saw that Song was bleeding her brother who could not be saved. She immediately supported her weak body, crawled over, pulled Song, and cried:
"Woo woo! Mom, Jinbao can't be saved! Please don't hurt yourself anymore! Mom, you will die"
Song: "No, your brother will be fine"
Seeing this, Xu Le, who was standing by, looked at Xu Jinyin who had also fallen down, covered his chest, opened his cracked and white lips, and sobbed:
"Song, we still have gold and silver, let go! Jinbao is in too serious a condition! We have to save some blood for gold and silver!"
When Old Mrs. Xu and Old Man Xu saw this, they couldn't bear it and turned their heads away.
Jinbao! Don't blame grandma and grandpa! Grandma and grandpa are not heartless! It's just that seeing the elderly people in the village fall to the ground and never get up again, grandma and grandpa are afraid!
