parting
Just when Zhao Ziyu's sword energy was about to hit the chickens in the yard, the gate opened and Jiu Qi walked in. He waved away the sword energy and then turned to look at the three people beside the stone table.
"Why are you like this?" After watching the two chickens run away, Li Ping'an slammed the stone table and said angrily to Jiu Qi.
"My roast chicken." Zhao Jingyan shouted.
Jiu Qi frowned and took out a few dishes from his bag and placed them on the stone table. "These two chickens cannot be killed yet."
"Why?" Do you have to choose a good day to kill a chicken?
Jiu Qi was about to pass chopsticks to a few people, but when he saw three pairs of hands stretched out in unison, he stopped and looked at Li Pingan, "If there's anything wrong with this chicken, I'll ask you to clear the way for everyone in five days."
"Then take them away and don't leave them here to get in our way." Li Ping'an waved his hand, indicating that they didn't want to keep these two chickens.
Jiu Qi handed chopsticks to the three people in turn. When handing chopsticks to Li Pingan, he tapped her hand lightly and said, "This is not up to you to decide."
Watching the three people wolfing down their food, Jiu Qi stood up, took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, and placed it in front of Li Ping'an. "Put it in your palm to dissolve, and rub it on the sore area."
Li Pingan put down the bowl, picked up the porcelain bottle, looked at Jiuqi suspiciously, and smiled as usual.
After Jiu Qi finished speaking, he left. He stopped at the gate and said, "After dinner, wash the dishes. Someone will come to collect them tomorrow."
Li Pingan put down the porcelain bottle in his hand, picked up the bowl and prepared to continue eating, but saw Zhao Jingyan and Zhao Ziyu covering their mouths with their bowls and laughing. "What are you laughing at?"
"Zi Yu, why don't we have medicine?" Zhao Jingyan asked sarcastically.
Li Pingan understood immediately and picked up the porcelain bottle to throw it in front of Zhao Jingyan. Zhao Jingyan quickly stopped him and said, "No, no, no, there is no sore spot on our body."
"Right, Tzuyu."
Zhao Ziyu took a few mouthfuls of rice and nodded. Before Li Pingan could react, he put down his bowl and chopsticks and said, "I'll wash the dishes after you finish eating."
"Now, I'm going to wash the straw mat." After saying that, Zhao Ziyu ran into the house.
Damn chickens! Li Ping'an glared at the chickens in the yard again. They only gave them trouble. No, the culprit should be Jiu Qi. He must have brought these chickens.
After washing the straw mat, it dried quickly, but when Li Ping'an lay on it, he always felt that some parts were still wet.
So, he got up from the bed, took out the medicine given by Jiuqi, poured the ointment into his palm by candlelight, felt it dissolve, and then slowly applied it on his legs and arms, while thinking about random things.
Li Ping'an's figure was reflected in the window. In the pavilion in the distance, a man was standing and looking over here.
I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect, but Li Pingan always feels that after applying this thing, his body doesn’t hurt as much.
Just when Li Ping'an was about to extinguish the candle, a "yo yo" mixed with "baa" sound came from outside. Li Ping'an knew that it was the doe with her fawn coming to find her.
He put on his coat and walked out. When he reached the back, he saw two fawns surrounding the mother deer.
After seeing Li Ping'an coming, the mother deer picked up something on the ground and put it in Li Ping'an's palm, and the two fawns also rubbed against Li Ping'an's feet.
In the moonlight, Li Pingan saw the object in his hand clearly. It looked like a Ganoderma lucidum, but with golden lines on it. It had a slightly bitter medicinal aroma. "Is this for me?" he asked.
The doe nodded, and the fawn next to it ran two steps away and then jumped back, picked up something from the ground and put it into Li Ping'an's hand. It was light purple and in bunches, like grapes.
The little deer rescued by Li Ping'an spit out a bead that glowed green. Li Ping'an thought it was just an ordinary bead, but she didn't expect that the moment she took it, the bead merged into her body.
Li Ping'an quickly looked at his wrist, and sure enough, there was a green round mark on his hand.
"Baby, tell your sister, where did you get this bead from?" Li Ping'an asked, holding the deer's head.
The little deer tilted its head, as if it didn't understand, and licked Li Ping'an's wrist.
Li Ping'an sighed and said, forget it, one should not be greedy, one more bead is good enough.
Although Li Ping'an was tired after a day of work, he still played with the three deer until midnight.
The next few days were a repetitive process of training, eating, sleeping and playing with the fawn, until three days later.
After a few days of torture, Li Ping'an gradually got used to this training mode. He didn't feel so tired anymore and could even add a few smaller stones to the original ones.
After training that day, she pushed open the small door of the yard and found that Zhao Jingyan and Zhao Ziyu had returned. The stone table was filled with various dishes and a pot of wine.
Even though he had been mentally prepared, Li Pingan still found it hard to accept the separation.
"An'an, you're back?" Zhao Jingyan was taking a bowl out of the small kitchen when he looked up and saw Li Ping'an standing at the gate of the yard.
Li Ping'an nodded, walked in, washed his hands, and started to get busy.
"Come, try it! This is made by my two sisters. How about giving it a try?" Zhao Jingyan picked up a piece of honey lotus root and placed it in Li Ping'an's bowl. "Try this and see if it's any different from what we had in Huacheng."
Li Ping'an picked up the lotus root slices and put them in his mouth. The sweetness of the lotus root slices combined with the taste of honey was so sweet that it made him want to cry.
Initially, he was able to control his emotions, but after drinking some wine, Zhao Jingyan began to ramble again, "Once this matter is over, I will send Ziyu to learn the craft. What do you think of my skills?"
"Great, then I'll set up a small stall next to Tzuyu's sect."
"Hey, Ziyu, why are you drinking secretly again?" Zhao Jingyan was talking, and he caught a glimpse of Zhao Ziyu pouring a glass of wine for himself.
Zhao Ziyu's hand holding the wine glass stopped in mid-air, and Zhao Jingyan waved his hand again, "Forget it, drink it."
"Drink it, but don't let the taste of the wine fade away..."
Zhao Jingyan was a little drunk, his words were confused, and his mood became depressed.
Suddenly, Zhao Jingyan hugged Zhao Ziyu and said, "Ziyu, please don't go in, okay? I can go in alone."
Zhao Ziyu didn't answer, but just stared at Zhao Jingyan, his little face, which had not yet grown up, was full of persistence.
"Forget it, forget it." Zhao Jingyan climbed up from her body and raised the wine glass to Li Pingan, "Come, let's drink, it's safe."
Li Pingan had already drunk a lot of wine without the two of them knowing. When he heard what Zhao Jingyan said, he choked up and said, "I'm sorry, I lied to you. My name is not Anquan, my name is Li Pingan."
"Then, Li Ping'an, come and have a drink." Zhao Jingyan hooked his arms around Li Ping'an's neck, his face, which looked even more beautiful because of the smell of alcohol, was now covered with tears.
Normally, the three of them could still deceive themselves into thinking that this was a small matter, but everyone knew that with such a big issue involved, how could it be a small matter? Not to mention Zhao Jingyan, who had only learned martial arts since childhood and had only mediocre skills. Although Zhao Ziyu had great talent in swordsmanship, where was the time for her to grow?
Just like what he said to Jiu Qi, once they entered the barrier, who would care about them? Even if they wanted to, they were powerless.
What Jiuqi gave them was nothing more than to allow them to live for half an hour instead of the time it takes to live for a stick of incense.
This time it is not separation, but separation by death.
Li Ping'an drank a lot, so when she woke up the next day, her head was dizzy and a little painful. After leaving the house, she habitually knocked on Zhao Jingyan's door and found that both of their doors were wide open. Li Ping'an covered her head and realized in shock that they had already left.
The whole courtyard was empty, with only Li Pingan left.
No, there were also two chickens in the yard. These two chickens seemed to have sensed that Li Ping'an was in a bad mood, and they huddled in a corner, motionless.
Suddenly, the door to the courtyard was pushed open. Li Pingan, who was lost in thought, was startled. He looked over and saw Jiu Qi. "What are you doing here?"
Jiuqi hasn't appeared since he delivered food to a few people last time. I don't know why he came again today.
Jiu Qi walked in and stood in front of Li Ping'an, "Elder Shi said you didn't go to practice today."
Li Pingan looked up at Jiu Qi with a puzzled look on his face, "Isn't it morning now?"
"It's already three quarters past three in the afternoon." Jiu Qi glanced at the mess on the stone table.
"Three quarters past three in the afternoon," Li Ping'an muttered to herself while counting with her fingers, "It's a little past four in the afternoon!" It was all because it was cloudy today, she couldn't tell the time.
"I actually slept the whole day." Li Ping'an grabbed her hair in disbelief. No wonder she didn't hear the Zhao Jingyan and sister leaving.
"What kind of wine is this?" Li Ping'an took the empty wine jug and tried to find the name of the wine.
"One-day drunk." Jiu Qi explained to Li Pingan considerately, "The alcohol content isn't high, but it can make you sleep for a whole day after drinking it."
"No, what about Zhao Jingyan and the other two?" Li Ping'an didn't think that these two people could drink more than him.
Jiu Qi followed the direction of Li Ping'an's finger and looked towards the room of Zhao Jingyan and her sister. "They were carried away this morning. They should have reached the East China Sea area by now."
Zhao Jingyan sat up with his hands covering his head, and then felt that something was wrong with the decorations around him. He looked around and found that he was no longer in the small courtyard. Was he kidnapped?
Zhao Jingyan quickly woke up Zhao Ziyu who was still sleeping beside him.
With a creaky sound, the door opened. A little girl dressed as a maid saw the two of them wake up and said in surprise, "You two are finally awake."
Then he ran out in a hurry.
After Zhao Jingyan and her sister finished washing up, they knew what had happened that day. They felt embarrassed at the thought of being carried onto the aircraft in public.
There were many people sitting in the lobby. Zhao Jingyan and Zhao Ziyu huddled at the back. However, the more she looked at the man leading the group, the more familiar he seemed. "Ziyu, look at that man?"
Zhao Ziyu was also frowning and staring at the man sitting on the stage.
"Uncle, who is the man sitting on the stage? The youngest and most handsome one." Zhao Jingyan asked, pulling someone next to him.
The man was looking up at the stage without turning his head. "You don't even know this. The Lord of Yacheng, Ji Wudu, Lord Ji."
Hearing this, Zhao Jingyan gritted his teeth and wanted to rush forward, but was pulled back by Zhao Ziyu, "Sister, maybe you made a mistake?"
"It can't be wrong, it must be him." Zhao Jingyan gritted her teeth. She would never forget the face of this bastard. He tricked her into gambling and made her owe a huge amount of money. She could only drag the young Zhao Ziyu to work as a doorman to pay off the debt.
