Chapter 17017 The Fastest in the World
Chapter 17
In the original book, although Qi Jingyan was cruel and ruthless, he always acted uprightly. Even when he did bad things and harmed others, he did it openly and never hid anything.
So after hearing his "hmm", Meng Yuning felt relieved, knelt down, took two steps back, and got off the bed.
He took out a complete set of clothes from his bag and placed them beside the bed, then began to undress. After taking off his coat, he couldn't help but look out the window again.
Yi'er, who had just been running around the wheelchair with a straw animal in his hand, was now held in Qi Jingyan's arms. The two brothers were sitting quietly in the wheelchair, facing the valley with their backs to her.
Hey? Speaking of wheelchairs, didn't Qi Jingyan forget to bring his wheelchair yesterday? Where did this one come from?
Meng Yuning was curious, so she leaned against the window again and took a closer look. Only then did she realize that the wooden wheelchair was actually new.
However, Qi Jingyan has countless capable guards around him who know everything, so it is not surprising that he could make a wheelchair.
Meng Yuning didn't think any more about it. She casually draped her coat over the window frame, covering a large area. Then she took off her underwear, leaving only her undershirt and panties on. She then squatted beside the tub, washed her face and hair first, then stepped over the tub and sat in.
Surrounded by the warm, slightly scalding water, she rubbed her arms and sighed in comfort, wishing she could take a hot bath every day.
She wanted to soak for a while longer, but thinking that the Qi Jingyan brothers were still sitting outside, she felt embarrassed to waste more time. She washed herself as quickly as possible, stood up hurriedly, stepped out of the wooden tub, took off her wet undershirt and panties, wiped herself dry with a towel, wrapped her hair with a towel, and quickly changed into clean clothes. She finished in one breath, then breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the edge of the couch.
As she slowly dried her hair, she stumbled upon the bottle of ointment from her bag. It suddenly occurred to her that she had only applied it once to the wound on her leg, and it had almost healed. She hadn't felt any discomfort in the shower just now. This ointment was truly miraculous.
Outside, Yi'er sat in the wheelchair for a long time and became unable to sit still.
He turned his little head, wanting to look back, but just as he moved, Qi Jingyan's big hand pinched his little face and turned it back, saying softly, "Don't look at anything inappropriate."
Yi'er nodded, then asked in confusion, "Brother, why does Miss Meng take so long to bathe?"
When the little boy heard Qi Jingyan and the others calling Meng Yuning "Miss Meng", he followed suit.
Qi Jingyan: "Ms. Meng is a girl, so she has to be more careful than men in doing things, so it's normal for her to be slower."
Meng Yuning had almost finished drying her hair. She gathered a circle of hair on top of her head, tied it into a bun, and secured it with a hairpin. She left most of the rest of her hair loose to dry easily.
After combing her hair and pulling the coat off the window, she looked out and saw that the two brothers were just as she expected, sitting obediently in wheelchairs with their backs to her. She couldn't help but smile and said to the window, "Your Highness, I'm done washing, you can come back."
Qi Jingyan said "hmm" but didn't turn around.
Meng Yuning watched for a while, and seeing that he didn't move, she didn't care. She put on her shoes and socks, put the clothes she had taken off together, and then opened the two doors, intending to pour out the water in the wooden barrel.
But when she walked to the wooden barrel, she was dumbfounded. She could have poured water into the barrel just now by using the basin used for cooking to get clean water, but it would be inappropriate to use the basin used for food to get her bath water. Wouldn't that basin be unusable?
Meng Yuning looked around but didn't find any suitable tools, so she had to walk out the door.
When I walked to Qi Jingyan's side, I saw him holding Yi'er and pointing forward: "That's the direction of Lingnan."
Yi'er wasn't very interested in Lingnan. After taking a look, he asked, "Brother, where is the palace?"
Qi Jingyan pointed in the opposite direction: "There."
Yi'er straightened his back and stretched his neck to look out: "Brother, when are we going back to the palace?"
Qi Jingyan: "...wait until our Yi'er grows up a bit."
Yi'er used her two little hands holding the straw bunny and fox to measure the length: "Is it going to grow this big?"
Qi Jingyan smiled and patted his head: "When Yi'er is a little older and can ride a horse by himself, we will go back."
The little boy clenched his fist and nodded seriously: "Then Yi'er should eat more and grow up quickly."
Qi Jingyan agreed, then raised his eyes to look at Meng Yuning who had been waiting for a while: "Is there something wrong?"
Meng Yuning pointed into the house, feeling somewhat embarrassed. "Well, Your Highness, I want to transport the water out, but I don't have the right tools. And the wooden barrel is too heavy for me to move."
Qi Jingyan: "Just leave it there. We can move it later when Mu Yun and the others come back."
Meng Yuning felt awkward for some reason: "This isn't very good."
Although Mu Yun and the others were very nice, they were strangers after all, and it felt a bit awkward to ask them to help her pour the bath water.
Qi Jingyan looked puzzled: "Why not?"
Thinking of the countless people serving Qi Jingyan since he was a child, Meng Yuning felt that it was impossible to explain it to him: "...It's just not good."
Qi Jingyan stared at her for a while, making Meng Yuning's cheeks, already flushed from the hot bath, turn even redder. He then pointed to the bamboo the guards had chopped down not far away and said, "If you want to make it yourself, just cut a few bamboo tubes and put them in there."
Meng Yuning's eyes lit up: "That's a good idea."
After saying that, he went to the stove to find a kitchen knife, walked excitedly to the bamboos, picked up a thick one, and chopped at a bamboo joint with the knife.
Click, click, click~
My hands were numb from the shock and I couldn't cut off a piece.
She squatted on the ground, shaking her hands in disbelief: "Is this thing so hard?"
Seeing her mumbling to a bamboo, Qi Jingyan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, picked up Yier, put her on the ground, turned the wheels of the wheelchair with both hands, and slowly moved forward.
The ground was not very flat and the wheels were not very round, so it was a bit bumpy and not very smooth when walking.
Seeing this, Yier put all the dogtail grass and rabbits in his hands on the ground, chased after the child and tried to help push the wheelchair. However, the child was only three years old and was too small. Even though he tried his best, he couldn't help much. Instead, he was exhausted and panting, with his little face flushed.
Meng Yuning heard the noise and looked up. Seeing this scene, she quickly threw the kitchen knife to the ground, stood up and ran over, walked around the back of the wheelchair and pushed it with Yi'er: "Your Highness, please call me."
Qi Jingyan remained calm: "It's okay, my leg is injured, but my hands can move."
Meng Yuning: "But Doctor Tang said that your leg isn't healed yet, so you can't bump into it."
Qi Jingyan: “Yeah.”
When they reached the bamboo, Qi Jingyan stopped and said to Meng Yuning, "Go to the bedside in the room and get my knife."
Meng Yuning guessed what he was going to do, and said yes. She quickly returned to the room, took down the long straight sword hanging on the wall above his bed, and went outside with both hands holding it: "Your Highness, here."
Qi Jingyan grasped the hilt of the knife and was about to draw it, but Meng Yuning was very considerate and quickly stepped back two steps while holding the scabbard, helping him pull the knife out.
Qi Jingyan raised his eyes: "..."
Meng Yuning smiled and said, "It's just a small favor. Your Highness, you are welcome."
Qi Jingyan was silent for a moment, then reached out to the bamboo that Meng Yuning had just chopped down and said, "Please pass it to me."
"Okay." Meng Yuning carefully placed the scabbard, which was inlaid with several gems and looked very valuable, on the ground. She walked forward and picked up the heavy bamboo. She dragged it a few steps with grunts and carefully handed it to Qi Jingyan.
Qi Jingyan took it with one hand and said, "Come behind me."
"Oh, okay." Meng Yuning was very obedient. She walked around behind his wheelchair and stood with Yier who had just picked up the straw animal.
Looking over his shoulder, Meng Yuning was surprised to find that his hands were really big. She couldn't hold the bamboo with both hands, but he easily held it with one hand.
Qi Jingyan weighed the bamboo with one hand, turned it in a circle, then raised his knife and chopped it off. With a swish, the bamboo tube that Meng Yuning had been unable to chop just now was neatly broken.
Before Meng Yuning could pick it up, he chopped it off three times in a row, then stopped and asked, "Is it enough?"
Qi Jingyan's four sword strikes were extremely fast. Meng Yuning only saw a few flashes of cold light and didn't even see his hands move. The four sections of bamboo fell to the ground with a crackling sound.
She was stunned by his speed and subconsciously clapped her hands in praise: "Wow, Your Highness is really fast."
Qi Jingyan: “…”
Yi'er never lags behind in praising her brother, and she clapped her hands: "Brother is the fastest in the world!"
Meng Yuning was amused by the little kid's proud and proud look, and she also echoed: "Your Highness is the fastest in the world!"
Qi Jingyan: “…”
