Li Heitie said timidly: "The ring given by the Queen saved our family. The Queen is our benefactor."
The ring belonged to Chi Xuanye, but Li Heitie said it was Lin Zhiya's. It seems that this farmer is very good at handling things.
Li Daya said: "San Ya is grinding flour at home today to make white flour buns for the Fairy Goddess to eat."
Li Heitie pulled his daughter and scolded her with a dark face: "Don't be disrespectful."
Li Daya shrank her head and went down the mountain with Lin Zhiya. Although Lin Zhiya left Hemei in the academy, she brought a few eunuchs with her.
She felt the atmosphere was very relaxed, and it took her a long time to remember that Chi Xuanye was missing.
Chi Xuanye didn't come, so Lin Zhiya quickened her pace, thinking that it was a misunderstanding and Chi Xuanye had no intention of going to the village.
As a result, as soon as I arrived at the foot of the mountain, I saw Chi Xuanye waiting on horseback. Chi Xuanye got off the horse with a knife in his hand and walked towards Lin Zhiya calmly.
"Finally I have waited for the queen. I went to the village to explore the way and am here to pick her up."
...
...
When there are a lot of people around, Chi Xuanye no longer calls her "Yaya".
Lin Zhiya was surprised, "When did the young general go there?"
Chi Xuanye replied: "The village is a bit far, so I went to explore the way before daybreak."
He pulled the horse over and asked Lin Zhiya to sit on it. He said very reliably: "Madam Lu Yuan, please sit on my horse. The cold night is relatively mild and will definitely not hurt you."
As he spoke, the horse named Han Ye kicked the ground twice angrily.
Chi Xuanye covered it up and said, "This is because he is not full. Han Ye is docile by nature and has a good relationship with the queen. The queen, please come up quickly."
Lin Zhiya frowned. Why was she destined to be with this horse? Chi Xuanye was talking nonsense.
Li Daya confirmed Chi Xuanye's words: "It takes an hour to walk to our village. When Daddy's legs were better, he went to the mountains to dig wild vegetables, and his shoes were worn out in a few days."
Lin Zhiya had no choice but to get on the horse. Chi Xuanye lent her his arm to help her with strength. Lin Zhiya held his arm and sat steadily. Chi Xuanye walked in front holding the reins.
Han Ye was really as obedient as Chi Xuanye said. The few of them walked for a long time. Chi Xuanye's breathing was stable and there was no problem walking for a few more hours.
Although Li Heitie has difficulty walking, he was born and raised here and has long been trained to have great endurance, so he can walk a long way.
Even the thinnest Li Daya has gotten used to this long journey.
Fortunately, Chi Xuanye brought the horse, otherwise Lin Zhiya would definitely have to prepare the sedan chair on the way.
Lin Zhiya looked behind her and saw that the eunuchs who followed her were all in trouble. They were exhausted and panting, with sweat all over their foreheads.
Lin Zhiya: "...How long will it take to get there?"
Li Heitie replied hastily: "It's just ahead. We'll be there in a little while."
It took us a long time to finally reach the destination. The village was said to be at the foot of the mountain, but it was actually hidden among the mountains. The low and dense houses were one after another, and if you didn't look carefully, they could easily be covered by the mountains.
It is difficult to find the village without a guide, and it is hard to imagine that there is a village here.
Lin Zhiya got off the horse, and Li Heitie suddenly quickened his pace and led Lin Zhiya into the village entrance. There were a lot of damp wood piled on the side of the road.
Walking further inside, you can see the scattered, barren fields in the village.
The fields are sparsely populated, some land is still empty, and there are stones piled on the ground, as if it has been abandoned.
Not far away, there was a young man wearing a green scholar's robe who was plowing the land. He had fair skin, a gentle and calm demeanor, and it was obvious that he was not a local villager.
This person was only focused on the fields under his control and ignored Lin Zhiya and her group who were gradually approaching.
He wore a turban, and his facial features were rather ordinary, but the combination was pleasing to the eye and admirable.
He put the hoe on the ground, picked up the kettle and drank water. He tilted his thin neck back, his Adam's apple rolling. After drinking the water, he put it down slowly, his eyes fixed on the sickly seedlings under his feet.
Li Heitie was afraid that Lin Zhiya would be angry, so he explained to her in a low voice: "This person is not from the village. He is Mr. Cai from outside. He originally said that he would take Widow Liu's baby to study in the mountains..."
Lin Zhiya: "Then what happened?"
Li Heitie: "The widow Liu's baby starved to death, so Mr. Cai stopped going up the mountain and stayed in the village saying he wanted to farm."
Lin Zhiya was silent. She took out the letter from Master Yuan from her sleeve and walked forward, shouting, "Mr. Cai, the academy asked me to bring you a letter. Do you still remember that someone invited you to be a teacher?"
Cai Fuyuan looked up and saw that there was no great surprise in Lin Zhiya's eyes. He took a corner of the letter and said politely and distantly: "Thank you for your help."
He opened the letter in front of Lin Zhiya. Lin Zhiya saw that his hands were delicate and had distinct joints, and they were a pair of hands that could hold a pen.
But at this moment, there was a hoe next to Cai Fuyuan. He was calm and didn't feel anything was wrong.
After reading the letter, Lin Zhiya knew that it contained words from Lord Yuan expressing his hope that he would give lectures, so Cai Fuyuan folded the letter again.
After waiting for a while, he saw that Lin Zhiya did not leave, then he suddenly realized and said to Lin Zhiya politely: "Miss, please tell the dean that Cai has more important things to do now and cannot go to the academy."
After saying that, he prepared to continue working.
Li Heitie couldn't help it. He really didn't understand why someone would give up being a teacher and just stay here to work on a piece of broken farm and live a life of hunger and starvation.
Li Heitie asked timidly: "The important thing you are talking about is farming..."
Cai Fuyuan nodded and said with a smile: "My teaching can certainly help students learn the Holy Word, and they may even get a job in the future, but if they don't have enough to eat, they will die, so how can they talk about other things?"
"So, the more important thing is here." Cai Fuyuan motioned Li Heitie to look at his feet, "I can't leave without planting these seedlings."
After hearing these words, everyone was a little surprised.
Li Heitie felt that it was both right and wrong. Anyone can farm, but not everyone can teach.
"Mr. Cai should just go to the academy. We can just farm the fields. How can we let you do this kind of work?"
Cai Fuyuan sighed, and an inexplicable stubbornness appeared on his handsome face: "We are all the same people."
Li Daya spoke up at this time, "Mr. Cai should go to the academy with the Fairy Goddess. The Fairy Goddess will help us grow things. The ring she gave us yesterday was given to us by the Fairy Goddess."
Li Daya’s idea was very simple. If Lin Zhiya wanted Mr. Cai to teach at the academy, then of course he had to go. Besides, Mr. Cai had been in the position for several days, but there had been no changes.
Cai Fuyuan was slightly surprised and finally focused his attention on Lin Zhiya. Lin Zhiya didn't know what he was thinking, but she just felt that Cai Fuyuan was more kind to her.
Cai Fuyuan praised: "The girl is really kind."
Lin Zhiya delivered the letter and didn't want to say anything more. It was obvious that Mr. Cai was a tough nut to crack, so it was better to leave it to Lord Yuan to lobby in person.
