Awang responded one by one.

Liu Ji and his son also reassured Qin Yao not to worry about them.

Qin Yao stared at Liu Ji, whose eyes were already excited: "I'm not worried about them. I'm mainly worried about you. Don't give me any trouble, or I'll kill you when I come back!"

This is no joke, they say distance brings beauty. Now that the county town cannot be entered, the academy is not open, and Liu Ji is jumping around in front of him every day, Qin Yao's endurance has dropped.

Liu Ji had a sneer on his face, "Madam, you are overthinking this. What trouble can I cause with my little ability? I'm just teaching."

It's okay not to mention it. When it comes to the literacy class, Qin Yao gets a little angry.

The literacy class that started in the evening now includes people from the next village. I don’t know if there is a misunderstanding. All the children who come here are half-year-old children. They come to listen to the class together and go home together with torches.

Liu Ji wanted to continue to expand his team, so Qin Yao had to remind him:

"Ours was originally a literacy class in the factory. Later, children from the village could just join. After all, it is a village, so it is easy to explain why it was stopped."

"But now just for those five cents, you brought all the children from other villages here. Those who didn't know thought that the five cents of tuition you paid was a year's study."

At a small scale, this matter is just a matter of five cents, but at a large scale, it is suspected of fraud.

No need for Qin Yao to mention it, Liu Ji knew exactly what he was doing and hurriedly promised:
"Don't worry, madam, this matter will definitely be solved when you come back. Really, I swear I will never cause any trouble to your factory!"

Qin Yao stared at his "sincere" eyes for half a minute. Liu Ji didn't blink and forced tears out of her eyes before she looked back and ignored the matter.

Awang was very experienced in what he needed to prepare when going out. He made a baggage for Qin Yao, filled it with things she might need, and then secretly handed it to Qin Yao while avoiding Liu Ji.

Qin Yao pointed to the small bundle in his hand that was only as big as a purse in disbelief, "What is this enough for?"

Awang was taciturn. He just handed the things to her, saying they were useful, and turned around to feed the horses night grass to fatten them up.

The traces of scars and leprosy on Lao Huang's body since Awang came here have completely disappeared. His mane is smooth and smooth, and he looks like an old horse when he is pulled out.

Qin Yao is not driving this time, and the carriage cannot load lumber. He plans to lead the team on horseback. If he needs to send a message or buy something, it will be convenient to have a nimble horse.

Qin Yao returned to the room carrying the small baggage given by Awang. Si Niang had already changed into the small bellyband and pants that her second aunt had helped make, and was lying on the mat playing with her headband, waiting for her to sleep together.

Seeing Qin Yao coming in with a small baggage, she turned over and crawled to the bedside and asked curiously: "Mom, what is this?"

Qin Yao shook her head. She didn't know either. She just heard the collision of porcelain bottles when she took it back.

Siniang’s eyes asked: Let’s open it and take a look?

Qin Yao refused, and Awang deliberately avoided the things given to her. They were probably not good things, so children should stop being curious.

After Si Niang fell asleep beside her, Qin Yao took advantage of the moonlight to unpack the bundle and take a look.

Two small porcelain bottles, shake them, one is water and the other is powder.

There are instructions on the porcelain bottles. The bottle of water says "Half-Step Epidemic with a Smile", and the bottle of powder says "Death in Seven Steps".

Qin Yao frowned deeply, uncorked the bottle at arm's length, opened it with her hand and smelled the smell. An anesthetic, and a laxative, what's the use of such messy names!
But where did Awang get these things?
As if anticipating her question, an explanation manual fell out of the mini baggage. [Madam, I have been playing in the mountains with the young masters and ladies these past few days, and I came across a few medicinal plants. I prepared and ground them every night when I had free time to make these two essential remedies for home and travel. Please accept your approval, madam.]

He really wanted to join the family.

Qin Yao folded up the explanation manual and took a deep breath, feeling a little complicated.

She was just going to transport some wood, not to rob homes!Why does Awang think she can use these two things?

Qin Yao folded her arms and stared at the ceiling, lost in thought.

When the sound of endorsement came from the next room, Qin Yao immediately got up from the bed.

I can't sleep in today, I have to go.

At some point in the middle of the night, Si Niang, who had fallen asleep in the corner of the bed, opened her eyes in a daze, turned over, and softly called out: "Aniang~"

"Aniang is about to leave. Si Niang will sleep a little longer until the brothers come to call you." Qin Yao finished dressing and came to the bed and said warmly.

Si Niang nodded obediently, crawled over and kissed her on the cheek, then fell back on the bed, closed her eyes, and fell asleep sweetly again.

Not really waking up at all.Qin Yao poked the red face in a funny way, stood up, took the slingshot and bow and arrow, and gently closed the door.

Knives are still too conspicuous. According to the experience last time I went out, bows and arrows and slingshots are enough for self-defense.

Hot steam was already coming out of the kitchen, and Awang got up earlier than Liu Ji, who was about to endorse.

Qin Yao came to the kitchen, and Awang brought the steamed buns to her. The two looked at each other, neither of them spoke, and it seemed that they had been having several rounds of conversations.

Finally, Awang's eyes fell on Qin Yao's mini baggage hanging on her waist. A look of joy appeared on her simple face. In a fleeting moment, she held the cooked millet porridge and a white-faced steamed bun and gently knocked on Liu's door. Ji's room door and bring him breakfast.

Liu Ji heard the noise in the courtyard and walked out of the house. While drinking porridge, he pretended to ask: "Madam, are you leaving so early? Why don't you wait until I finish eating?"

Qin Yao sneered coldly and quickly finished the food in her hand, not bothering to pay attention to his pretense.

When he came to the children's room, he told the three boys inside that he was going out, took the coir raincoat and bamboo hat hanging on the wall, went to the livestock shed, took out the horse, put away the luggage, and rode towards the entrance of the village.

Everyone was ready and waiting for her.

Seeing the horse running towards him, Liu Baichong waved to He who insisted on following him early, winked at the deputy captain Liu Fei, and everyone set off immediately.

Ten carriages followed Qin Yao, and when they arrived at Xiahe Village, three carriages joined them, and then seven more carriages joined from Xiahe Village to Kaiyang County, for a total of twenty carriages and 21 people driving empty carriages. Go to Fucheng in a mighty way.

The speed of the empty car was very fast, and the weather was good and the road was easy to walk. It could cover eighty miles in one day. The convoy arrived in Fucheng on the fourth day.

Along the way, the refugees had received food provided by the imperial court for their return home, and they had already traveled more than half of the way. The hidden dangers they had to face on their return journey had also been reduced a lot.

The post station in the bamboo forest last time has now been replaced by a new post manager. He is a tall middle-aged man named Gao Cheng.
