Chapter 182: Stealing a Chicken, Losing the Rice
Qi Yanzhou found a change of clothes and scooped some hot water into the bucket.
"Third brother, come with me to the backyard and guard the door."
Qi Hean thought about the Zhao family living in the backyard, and Zhao Simin had feelings for Qi Yanzhou, so he nodded immediately.
"Okay, brother."
Ye Chutang stopped the two of them, took out a piece of handmade essential oil soap made of mugwort from his bag and handed it to Qi Yanzhou.
"Use this to wash your hair and body."
The handmade soap was transparent green and exuded the scent of mugwort, which made Qi Hean marvel.
"Second sister-in-law, what is this?"
Ye Chutang made up a story, "I made pancreas with mugwort in the countryside."
"It's really beautiful. My second sister-in-law is so amazing."
Qi Yanzhou glanced at Ye Chutang suspiciously but didn't ask any more questions.
He called Qi Hean, "Let's go, take a shower early, or there will be too many people and we will have to queue up."
The Dragon Guards saw Qi Yanzhou leaving and their eyes met.
The emperor gave them the task of destroying the Qi family, and Qi Yanzhou was the primary target.
Therefore, as long as there is a chance to attack Qi Yanzhou, they will not let it go.
Ye Chutang never stopped observing the escorting officers.
I noticed something was wrong immediately.
She thought the officers would ask her to cooperate with the operation, but there was no movement at all.
The dog emperor is on guard against her!
Ye Chutang did not chase to the backyard, but told Qi Yanzhou about the officer's strange behavior.
Because she believed in this man's ability and would not be easily tricked.
So she rested peacefully in the yard.
When Qi Yanzhou and Qi Hean arrived at the backyard, the Zhao family was still waiting for dinner.
Zhao Simin looked at Qi Yanzhou, who was like a god, with love and hate, and couldn't take her eyes away.
When Qi Hean noticed it, he immediately found the right position and blocked her view.
The utility room is in the northwest corner. It is a very small room that looks dirty and shabby.
Qi Hean pushed the door open with a creaking sound. Thick dust floated up, choking him and making him cough repeatedly.
"Brother, it's too dirty."
Qi Yanzhou put down the bucket of hot water.
"It's okay, I'll clean it up."
After saying that, he stuffed some clean clothes into Qi Hean's hand.
"You wait outside."
It wasn't that he felt sorry for his half-brother, but he wanted to check the utility room himself to eliminate any hidden dangers.
Although the utility room was dirty, there wasn't much stuff piled up in it.
After Qi Yanzhou cleaned up, the available space became much larger and no danger was found.
He fetched several buckets of well water and washed away the dust on the ground.
The dirty and messy utility room becomes clean.
Without hot water, Qi Yanzhou took a shower directly with cold well water.
A bit cool, but acceptable.
The transparent soap had the fresh scent of wormwood and felt slippery when applied on his body, as if it could never be washed clean, which made him a little uncomfortable.
Zhao Simin listened to the sound of flushing and glanced unconsciously towards the storage room.
What she saw was Qi Hean with a furious look on his face.
The romantic thoughts that had just arisen in my heart were instantly extinguished, and I turned my eyes away in disgrace.
Qi Yanzhou was unaware of the brief confrontation between Qi Hean and Zhao Simin, and he took a shower carefully to avoid not washing thoroughly enough and making Ye Chutang stink.
When he finished taking a shower and was about to get dressed, he suddenly heard a rustling sound.
The voice was so soft that he would have ignored it if he hadn't been alert to his surroundings.
Following the rustling sound, he looked towards the pile of junk that had just been cleaned up.
The light in the utility room is very dim, and you can only barely see things, but you can't see the dangers lurking in the dark.
He held his breath and was on full alert.
Suddenly, a small black snake flew out from the pile of debris, very fast and with great attack power.
Qi Yanzhou knew that the black snake must be poisonous, so he quickly pulled out the hairpin on his head and threw it away.
The hairpin pierced the snake's seven-inch point, splitting it into two parts.
He was afraid that the venom would drip onto the ground, so he immediately used dirty clothes to whip the snake's head away.
The snake's head fell into the innermost part of the pile of debris.
Even if the venom drips onto the ground, it will be absorbed by the dust and will not hurt anyone.
After Qi Yanzhou made sure there was no danger, he quickly took a shower and put on his clothes.
In order to facilitate walking, he wore a narrow-sleeved inner garment and a coarse cloth outer garment.
He pulled out the white jade hairpin that was deeply embedded in the wood, casually tied up his scattered black hair, and left the utility room.
Perhaps the well water was too cold, and there was a chill from his body that made people dare not look directly at him.
Qi Hean noticed that something was wrong with Qi Yanzhou and asked, "Second brother, is there something wrong?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the Zhao family looked at Qi Yanzhou.
Qi Yanzhou shouted: "Sir, there is a poisonous snake!"
The sound with internal force was very loud and echoed throughout the entire inn.
Ye Chutang immediately appeared beside Qi Yanzhou, "Where is the snake?"
"In the utility room."
After Qi Yanzhou finished speaking, he went in and picked out half of the snake.
Ye Chutang looked at the black snake that was only as thick as a thumb and said, "Black-bellied snakes are very poisonous. If you are bitten, you will become a fool even if you don't die."
Just as he finished speaking, Wu Chenggang arrived.
He was still chewing meat in his mouth, and his thick lips were shiny with oil.
"What venomous snake? No one was hurt?"
Ye Chutang looked at Han Chong who was following behind him and said, "Black-bellied snakes like warm and humid weather. They live in the swamps of the south and are extremely poisonous."
What this means is that the snake appeared at the post station deliberately by someone.
Han Chong pretended not to understand what Ye Chutang meant and waved his hand indifferently.
"This snake is quite capable of running. It has already run from south to north. As long as the people are fine, it's fine. You guys should take a shower and rest quickly. We will set off at 1:00 a.m. tomorrow."
The emperor wanted to kill Qi Yanzhou and destroy the Qi family, and he could only turn a blind eye.
Ye Chutang had already guessed that the officer would not care, so he gave a reminder.
"Sir, snakes don't understand human nature. They want to bite my husband today, but they may want to bite you tomorrow."
This was actually a warning, but Wu Chenggang didn't take it seriously.
"It's just a little snake. It doesn't have the courage to bite me."
After saying that, he left the backyard.
Qi Yanzhou exposed the matter of the poisonous snake not to seek justice, but to make a big deal out of it.
No one may care about it once and think it is an accident.
What about after two or three times?
When everyone knew that someone was trying to kill him, he would lead the conspiracy to the emperor.
Under the criticism, the emperor dared not do anything blatantly.
The journey north will be much quieter.
Ye Chutang didn’t know what Qi Yanzhou was thinking, she only saw that his face was gloomy.
She picked up the "spicy strips" on the ground, peeled the snake and took out the gall.
The black-bellied snake is slender and has no meat, so it is useless to keep it.
She deliberately threw it at Zhao Simin's feet, scaring her so much that she jumped up and screamed.
"Ye Chutang, what are you doing?"
"Scare you."
Ye Chutang said this provocatively, and pulled Qi Yanzhou into the utility room.
She knew there was someone on the roof, so she leaned close to his ear and asked, "Where is the snake's head?"
The warm breath sprayed on his neck, with an ambiguous teasing, making Qi Yanzhou tense all over.
He held his breath and pointed to the pile of debris.
"I was worried that the snake venom would drip onto the ground and cause bad consequences, so I threw it in the innermost part."
After that, he asked, "Atang, what do you want the snakehead for?"
Ye Chutang felt Qi Yanzhou's stiffness and deliberately blew into his ear.
"An tooth for a tooth!"
Since it doesn't hurt to talk while standing, let the officials feel the pain.
Qi Yanzhou's ears turned red and his sexy Adam's apple slid up and down because of Ye Chutang's teasing.
The chill brought by the well water was dispelled.
Unfortunately, now is not the time for romance.
He took a step back and said, "I'll go find the snakehead."
"It's too obvious to look for it in a big way. Let me do it."
Ye Chutang pulled Qi Yanzhou out of the utility room.
"My husband is very capable. He has cleaned the place very well. I will go get the tub to take a bath."
After saying that, she left the backyard.
Qi Yanzhou said to Ye Chutang's back: "Atang, wait until I finish washing my hair, let me do it, don't get tired."
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
Qi Yanzhou simply washed his hair with cold well water.
He was good at martial arts, and used his inner strength to steam dry the black hair that was sticking to his scalp to prevent it from catching a cold.
After getting himself ready, Qi Yanzhou ran back and forth between the front and back yards several times.
He took the bathtub, filled it with hot water, adjusted the water temperature with well water, took Ye Chutang's spare clothes, and stood guard at the door.
While Ye Chutang was bathing, he used his special powers to collect the poison that had dripped onto the ground and was absorbed by the dust into space.
After bathing, she said, "Husband, bring in my clothes."
These words were said intentionally for Zhao Simin to hear.
Any man who dares to think about her should just eat dog food until he is full.
Qi Yanzhou's face turned red uncontrollably.
He pushed open the door of the utility room, slipped in, lowered his head and walked to the bathtub, handing over the clothes.
Ye Chutang was amused by his innocent look and got up from the bathtub.
The sound of water penetrated into Qi Yanzhou's ears and disturbed his mind.
He took a deep breath and suppressed his surging restlessness.
Ye Chutang looked at Qi Yanzhou, who seemed to want something but was trying hard to hold it back, and stopped teasing him.
You will need it in the future, it would be bad if you keep it to yourself.
She quickly put on her clothes and kissed Qi Yanzhou on the face.
"My husband, I'll leave the rest to you."
After saying that, she left the utility room.
Qi Yanzhou hurriedly grabbed Ye Chutang, took out a cloth from his arms, twisted her hair, and used his internal energy to dry it.
Ye Chutang touched his slightly warm hair and missed the lost inner strength very much.
Meditate for an hour before going to sleep!
After she left the backyard, Qi Yanzhou poured out the water in the bathtub and washed himself again.
Zhao Simin saw everything and was jealous to the point of going crazy.
She was eating, put down her chopsticks, and said sarcastically:
"How could Ye Chutang ask Brother Yan to pour her bath water? It's so dirty! If it were me, I would definitely..."
Qi Yanzhou interrupted Zhao Simin's chat.
"Miss Zhao is willing to be a lowly person. Are you crazy about men?"
Giving is not a skill, letting others give is!
Zhao Simin was so humiliated that her face turned red. She said unconvincedly, "Brother Yan, why can't you tell the difference between good and bad? I just feel sorry for you!"
"Feeling sorry for me? Sure, from now on, I'll leave the tasks of serving my wife food and drink, pouring bath water for her, and washing her clothes to you."
Zhao Simin: “…”
"Brother Yan, Ye Chutang doesn't deserve you to be so nice to her, she..."
Zhao Qingshu guessed what Zhao Simin was going to say and his expression changed slightly.
"Little sister, shut up!"
Zhao Simin was yelled at and suddenly came back to her senses, swallowing back the words she had yet to say.
Qi Yanzhou asked knowingly, "What did Miss Zhao want to say just now? Why did you suddenly stop talking?"
"If you don't want to hear it and don't believe it, there's no point in saying it."
"If you want to slander my wife, there is really no need to say it."
After saying that, Qi Yanzhou left the backyard.
Zhao Simin stared at his tall back and muttered through gritted teeth.
"Qi Yanzhou, when you know the truth, you will know how good I am to you!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she was slapped by Zhao Qingshu.
"If you can't control your mouth, I don't mind turning you into a mute."
"Also, Qi Yanzhou is destined to die, so put your thoughts aside!"
Zhao Simin covered her hot face and said with red eyes: "Brother, I will pay attention next time."
She also wanted to take her heart back.
But Qi Yanzhou has been her dream since she was a child, and she can't let him go.
Zhao Qingshu warned for the last time, "There won't be a next time!"
"knew."
Seeing that her son and daughter were at loggerheads, Zhu Rong hurried to smooth things over.
"Don't let outsiders ruin your relationship. Eat quickly."
When the Zhao family finished their meal, the Qi family had just finished taking a bath.
Because Ye Chutang was the only one taking the bath, it was so fast.
With everyone working together, the clothes were quickly washed.
The wet clothes were draped over the edge of the bathtub.
The clothes are light and can be dried overnight.
After finishing his work, Ye Chutang took out a bottle of external injury medicine and handed it to Madam Qi.
"Mom, this is an external injury medicine. Apply it to the wound to speed up recovery."
"Tang'er, you use it first."
"Mom, I have thick skin and no blisters on my feet. I don't need any medicine."
Madam Qi took the medicine and patted Ye Chutang's hand lovingly.
"I suffered in the Ye family before, and I also suffered when I married Zhou'er."
"It will be rewarding after all the hardship."
After Ye Chutang finished speaking, he reminded Madam Qi to prick the blood blister, drain the blood and then apply medicine.
Then he said to Qi Yanzhou: "Azhou, you come and spread the bedding, I will sprinkle some mosquito repellent around."
Just as Qi Yanzhou was about to agree, Aunt Xu snatched the job away.
"Ma'am, I'll do the rough work."
Ye Chutang hurriedly grabbed Aunt Xu who was about to get up.
"Your feet are injured. Don't rush. After applying the medicine, take a rest. We have to travel tomorrow."
After saying that, she and Qi Yanzhou went to the outside of the post station to get bedding and mosquito repellent.
Qi Yanzhou snatched the medicine away and said, "Leave it all to me, you take charge."
All medicines are poisonous, so pregnant women should avoid them.
Ye Chutang looked at the considerate Qi Yanzhou and nodded with a smile.
There was limited space for resting, so Qi Yanzhou only laid out two beds, one for men and one for women.
Then sprinkle a circle of light yellow powder around the outside.
It can prevent snakes, insects, rats and ants.
Ye Chutang squeezed the snake gallbladder he had collected earlier, dripped it into a wine bowl, and gave it to the Qi family.
"Fresh snake gall wine is a good thing. It can clear the liver and improve eyesight, and detoxify. I've already had it, and it's not bad. You can have a sip too."
She is a pregnant woman and cannot drink white wine. She lied to the Qi family.
Except for Qi Yanzhou, the other two were somewhat resistant to snake gall wine, but they were not willing to say it out loud.
Qi Yanzhou took the bowl and took a sip first.
"Atang is a skilled doctor. If she says this wine is good, it really is."
After saying that, he handed the bowl to Mr. Qi.
The old man made up his mind and took a sip. It was not as bad as he imagined.
After drinking it, he handed it to Qi Hean.
Qi Hean was afraid of snakes, and his scalp tingled when he saw the green wine in the bowl.
"Can I not..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Mr. Qi.
"No, if you're a man, drink it quickly. My hands are sore from lifting them."
Qi Hean drank it with a fearless attitude, wiped the rim of the bowl, and handed it to Old Madam Qi.
The remaining wine was drunk by the old lady and Aunt Xu.
The Dragon Guards who were monitoring the Qi family were very upset when they saw this scene.
The attempt to steal a chicken ends up with the loss of the rice!
Seeing that the snake gall wine had been finished, Ye Chutang filled the empty bowl with spiritual spring water.
"This wine is quite strong, drink some water to tone it down."
With the help of the spiritual spring water, not only the effect of the gallbladder wine is doubled, but the injuries on their feet can also heal faster.
After drinking the spiritual spring water, the Qi family felt refreshed and thought it was the effect of the snake gall wine.
“This wine is really effective.”
Qi Hean drank the spiritual spring water for the first time and smacked his lips with satisfaction.
"This water tastes good, too. It's sweet."
Qi Yanzhou is a martial artist, so his feelings after drinking the spiritual spring water were more obvious.
My body suddenly felt relaxed and all the fatigue disappeared, as if I had not been rushing today.
Seeing that he was staring at the empty bowl in a daze, Ye Chutang asked even though he knew the answer.
"Azhou, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, I'll go put the bowl away, you guys go rest first, I'll be on duty for the first half of the night."
After walking for a day, the Qi family fell asleep.
Ye Chutang sat cross-legged, breathing in and out, and practicing internal strength.
Qi Yanzhou sat side by side with her and also practiced his internal strength.
At this time, Ye Siyin came out of the stable holding clothes and went to the backyard.
She glanced towards where the Qi family was.
Seeing that Qi Hean had already rested, she curled her lips in disappointment.
backyard.
The Zhao family of ten people are still taking turns to take a bath.
Zhao Qingshu sat in the kitchen porch, looking at the waning moon, wondering what he was thinking.
Ye Siyin deliberately sprained her ankle.
"oops!"
An exclamation attracted Zhao Qingshu's attention.
When he looked towards Ye Siyin, he saw that she was bending over with her clothes slightly open, revealing a pair of snow-white breasts.
He was not a gentleman and did not look away immediately.
Ye Siyin noticed Zhao Qingshu's gaze and quickly moved the clothes in her arms upwards.
Covering up the exposed spring light.
In order not to appear deliberate, she immediately squatted down and rubbed her uninjured ankle.
Zhao Qingshu looked at Ye Siyin's slender and red ankles, his eyes darkening.
But he quickly looked away and continued to admire the moon.
Ye Siyin knew very well that it would take time to get Zhao Qingshu to take the bait.
She knew when to stop and waited obediently for the bath.
When the Zhao family finished washing, she carried the bucket to the kitchen to scoop hot water, and then added well water to adjust the water temperature.
The utility room was wet and the hard floor had become very slippery.
Good for wrestling!
Ye Siyin was halfway through washing when she hardened her heart and fell to the ground with a thud.
"ah!"
The snow-white skin was rubbed with dirty mud, giving people a strong visual impact.
The sound of the fall was so loud that everyone in the Zhao family heard it, but no one paid any attention.
Zhao Qingshu glanced towards the storage room without making any unnecessary movements.
Although he enjoyed the pleasure of love, he also knew that he was not suitable to have any extramarital affairs in his current situation.
The Dragon Guard on duty could not ignore the life and death of the criminal, so he came to the door and asked, "What happened?"
Ye Siyin listened to the harsh voice and guessed that it was the police.
She thought of how the officer had taken the opportunity to be rude to her while putting her in shackles and anklets, and she was so scared that she quickly put her hand against the door.
A crying voice came from the utility room.
"I'm fine. I just fell down. I'll be fine after a while."
The Dragon Guards are indifferent to love and are dedicated to protecting the royal family and the country. They have no thoughts about Ye Siyin.
He hummed coldly, "Just shout if you have anything to say."
After saying that, he prepared to leave.
Ye Siyin realized that the officer had no intentions towards her, so she quickly stopped him.
"Wait a moment."
After saying that, she stood up and poured the water in the bucket over her dirty body.
Then open the door a crack and hand the bucket out.
"I'm dirty from the fall, and there's not enough water. Please bring me a bucket of water."
Afraid that the officer would not agree, she added another sentence.
"Fifty cents."
Although this amount of money is not much, it is a sky-high price to buy a bucket of water.
The dragon guard ignored Ye Siyin's outstretched arm and took the bucket.
He didn't want to earn the fifty cents, but he didn't want others to see his identity.
After all, those real exiled officials love money the most!
Ye Siyin's arm was stretched out of the door.
Zhao Qingshu looked at the alluring Bai, his Adam's apple rolled slightly, and he closed his eyes to suppress the restlessness of his body.
The Dragon Guard handed Ye Siyin ice-cold well water.
She was shivering with cold and tears were streaming down her face.
At this moment, her hatred for Ye Chutang reached its peak.
If Ye Chutang had not sent her to prison, she would have been able to break off ties with the Ye family when something happened and coax Jiang Huai into marrying her.
There is no need to suffer this exile at all!
"Ye Chutang, you have hurt me to this extent, I will not let you go!"
Ye Siyin cursed in her heart and poured the well water on herself.
The delicate skin was frozen red, covered with particles, and the hairs stood up.
She put on her clothes and opened the door.
He stood on the threshold with his blistered feet, using the remaining water to wash off the mud.
The white and tender feet were injured, and the feeling of brokenness was heartbreaking.
Zhao Qingshu's breathing became deeper and he closed his eyes, thinking out of sight, out of mind.
Ye Siyin glanced behind her quietly.
Zhao Qingshu had closed her eyes and she noticed nothing.
After washing her feet, she left with the dirty clothes.
When she got to the position closest to Zhao Qingshu, she deliberately let out a soft hiss.
Although Zhao Qingshu didn't open his eyes, his body moved.
When Ye Siyin saw this, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
Passing by the front yard, she looked at Ye Chutang who was meditating, and the hatred in her eyes could not be hidden.
Ye Chutang noticed the sharp gaze and opened his eyes immediately.
He looked into Ye Siyin's eyes.
Ye Siyin was startled, looked away guiltily, and walked away quickly.
When she returned to the stable, she gave fifty cents to the Dragon Guard who helped her fetch water as agreed.
Ye Chutang didn't take Ye Siyin seriously and continued practicing with his eyes closed.
An hour later.
Ye Chutang exhaled a breath and loosened his legs.
"Azhou, I'm going to sleep first. If you feel tired, wake me up and let me take your place."
"Okay, I'm here, rest assured."
After Ye Chutang became pregnant, her sleep quality was exceptionally good.
She knew that around the hour of Chou, Mr. Qi and Qi Hean would take over the responsibility of keeping watch with Qi Yanzhou.
I wanted to ask a question, but I was so sleepy that I couldn't open my eyes.
When I woke up again, it was two quarters before the morning.
Wu Chenggang yelled at the top of his voice, "Hurry up, get up, pack up, and get ready to go!"
The weather is cool now, which is perfect for traveling.
The post station became lively and brightly lit.
Qi Yanzhou went to the backyard to fetch water before anyone else got up.
Ye Chutang asked the two elders of the Qi family, "Dad and Mom, how are your injuries on your feet?"
She didn't mention it, and both elders forgot about it.
Because there was no strange feeling at all.
They both quickly took off their shoes to check.
The location where the blisters grew no longer hurts, the redness and swelling have disappeared, and a thin layer of scab can be seen.
Madam Qi said in surprise: "That trauma medicine is really effective. If I don't walk, this injury will heal in just three days."
Even if we walked, it would probably only take five days.
