Good luck with koi carp

Chapter 128
Snapped--


Splashes everywhere.


"Come on, someone has fallen into the water! Help him!" Pedestrians passing by were startled and screamed.


The sudden flood of water above the head, the faint noise coming from the surface of the water, and the overwhelming feeling of suffocation would make ordinary people, even those who know how to swim, inevitably panic.


But the girl who fell into the water was as dexterous and carefree as a swimming fish. She surfaced out of the water on her own with a few kicks of her legs, and she reached the shore in a flash with her arms. She stared blankly at a group of passers-by who were about to go into the water to rescue people.


"Cough cough..."


Although she reacted in time, she was caught off guard and still choked on some water. The girl who climbed onto the shore lay on the shore, covering her throat and coughing uncontrollably, spitting out some muddy water.


The wet and delicate body was blown by the cold wind of late autumn, making her shiver with coldness.


A kind-hearted lady reacted, hurriedly took off her outer cotton cloak, took two steps forward, covered the poor girl in thin clothes, and said with pity: "Little girl, what can't you think about at such a young age? Jumping into the moat in the cold weather?"


"Yes, little girl, you are quite scary when you suddenly appear."

"Fortunately, people are fine."

……


The passers-by who were watching also expressed their concerns. Although they had never met each other, simple and kind-hearted people still couldn't bear to see others in trouble and remain indifferent.


"Yes... I'm sorry..."


People who have not yet figured out the current situation hear the heartbreaking words of the aunt and the people around her. They don't know how to explain it, so they can only apologize to everyone first.


After all, her or the original owner's sudden suicide by jumping into the river did scare others and caused trouble for others. Now that she is holding on to this body and recognizing his identity, she should take some responsibility.


"There's nothing to be sorry for. It's okay if you're fine. It just so happens that my eldest wife's house is nearby. It's cold and windy right now. You're all soaked to the skin. The girl's family is frail. It's scary to stay outside any longer. If you are going to catch a cold, it’s better to go with my aunt’s house and change into clean clothes to warm yourself up.”


The kind-hearted aunt helped Chi Li stand up as she spoke. Without giving anyone a chance to refuse, she took the person all the way back to her home.


It seems that Chi Li is worried that the aunt is a bad person, and there are some enthusiastic people behind her who are helping to comfort her loudly: "Girl, don't be afraid, Aunt Chen is a well-known kind-hearted person in our neighborhood. Please feel free to go back with her..."


Chi Li didn't hear the next words clearly because she had already been helped into Aunt Chen's house.


With the barrier of the courtyard wall, the sounds outside are not so real.


Aunt Chen said that her home was really nearby. The original owner jumped on the moat. It was outside the city, not far from the city gate. Because there were so many people coming and going in the area, her jump immediately attracted people. So many people.


Aunt Chen's home is less than a hundred meters away from the city gate, and it's only a few steps away after entering the city gate.


When she first came to this world, Chi Li was still a little confused. After instinctively judging that Aunt Chen was not a bad person, she followed her home obediently.


As soon as she entered the house, Mrs. Chen shouted at the top of her lungs: "Xianggui, Xianggui, come out quickly!"


"Mother, what's the matter?"


Hearing the sound, a little girl wearing a gray-blue cotton skirt and two sideburns ran out of the house. She looked young, about thirteen or fourteen years old, with a chubby face and round eyes. She looks cute and lively, with a lively energy.


"You take this sister to your house to find a set of clean clothes for her to change into. Mom goes to the kitchen to make a bowl of ginger soup."


Aunt Chen was busy with her work. After handing the order to her daughter, she hurried into the kitchen. She didn't even have time to listen to her daughter's response. Fortunately, her daughter had long been accustomed to her mother's neat temperament, so she didn't ask any questions after receiving orders. He took the person directly to his room, found a set of clothes that had just been washed a few days ago from the box and handed them to her.


"Sister, please change your clothes in this room. I'll wait for you outside."


"thanks……"


Before Chi Li could finish her words of thanks, the little girl jumped and ran out, not forgetting to close the door carefully after going out.


I'm so lucky, I met many good people when I first arrived.


Thinking about something in her mind, Chi Li quickly took off her wet clothes with trembling hands and feet and put on dry and comfortable clothes for herself.


She was freezing.


It was also during the break of changing clothes that Chi Li had time to look through the memories left by the original owner.


Half a quarter of an hour later, Chi Li was expressionless and just wanted to chop the scumbag with a knife.


It turns out that the original owner of this body encountered an unfortunate drama involving Chen Shimei, and she was the poor girl in the drama who was let down by Chen Shimei.


It is not necessarily true to say that she is a girl from a poor family. The original owner was born in a small southern county quite far away from Kyoto. Her father was a scholar and supported the family by teaching and educating people in her hometown. Therefore, she could be regarded as a scholar. Female, her family background is much better than that of Chen Shimei.


Chen Shimei's family was just a poor house, with no house, no land, and no skills. The whole family was almost reduced to begging for a living.


If it weren't for the original owner's father who saw that he had some academic qualifications, he exempted him from studying out of his cherishment of talent, and even supported him from time to time. Later, he even betrothed his only beloved daughter, the original owner, to him, and devoted all his efforts to him. Even if he supported his scientific examination, he would not be able to embark on the road of imperial examination. Now he is a high school Jinshi, shining on the lintel of his family, and enjoying unlimited glory.


The memory of the original owner was clearly reflected. Before her former fiancé took her dowry and went to school to take the exam, he grabbed her hand and promised affectionately that when he was in high school, he would definitely come back and marry the original owner with Shili Hongzhuang as his employer. Pass the door.


As a result, the original owner waited day after day, until half a year had passed since the list was released, and still could not get any information from his lover.


Although their hometown is far away from Kyoto, no matter how far the distance is, half a year is enough to travel back and forth. It happened that at that time, she heard that some students met bandits and got into trouble on their way to the exam, and she became a little worried, fearing that her fiancé My son-in-law accidentally encountered something unexpected.


Finally, after months of wandering around, she learned that her fiancé's parents suddenly disappeared. She already felt that something was wrong, but she mustered up the courage to take her few possessions with her and went to Kyoto to find her fiancé without telling her parents. .


The original owner stumbled along the way, encountered many things, and suffered many sins. In the end, she actually brought her to Kyoto, and she even found the mansion where Chen Shimei's family currently lives by asking around.


Chi Li, who was watching her memories, had to admire her. This girl was really reckless and brave. Her sincerity in taking risks for love at that moment was so shining that it made people admire her.


It's a pity that her love is not human, and her indomitable heart is destined to be trampled on by others.


I don’t know if it was God’s evil intention or a trick of fate. When the original owner found Chen Shimei, he happened to see him accompanying his pregnant wife out to a banquet with a gentle and considerate look on her face.


At that time, the original owner was carrying a pitifully small luggage and was alone, looking shabby and miserable. The high-ranking couple were luxuriously dressed and lived in a tall and exquisite mansion. They traveled in a gorgeous and beautiful carriage, and the accompanying people They are well-trained maids and servants and serious and powerful guards.


The contrast is huge and ironic.


What else does the original owner who saw this scene not understand?


She was deeply shocked, and turned around in a daze to leave. Unexpectedly, Chen Shimei recognized her the moment he saw her. His face changed slightly, and then he showed disgust, as if he had seen garbage on the roadside, and ordered him in a cold voice. The guards drove her away.


"How come there are beggars here? Clean them up quickly to avoid staining Madam's eyes."


This place is where many officials live, and some unscrupulous people are not allowed to come here on weekdays. Naturally, beggars are included among them. Although the original owner looks a little embarrassed when he is covered in dust, he will not be beaten. People think he is a beggar, but so what?


The master has given the order, so the guards should naturally do their work.

"Get out of here, this is not the place you should be!"


The sticks were waved arrogantly, just like driving away a mangy dog, roughly driving the original owner far away until he could no longer be seen.


Her fiancé, who had vowed to each other, abandoned her after high school and married someone else. When they met, he didn't say a word of apology and just asked someone to drive her away. When she came, she had already exhausted her money and wanted to go home. She couldn't go back, even if she did, she would only be able to bring shame to her parents as she had been abandoned...


The successive blows and the increasingly pessimistic future made the original owner unable to bear it. He walked out of the city gate in a daze, looked at the sparkling river in the sun, closed his eyes and jumped down.


"Ugh……"


Chili, who learned everything that happened to the original owner, could only sigh.


The original owner had already passed away. He couldn't even wait for Chi Li to arrive and tell her her wish, so she hurriedly reincarnated herself and ended this miserable life.


And the only thing Chi Li, who took her place to live in this world again, could do for her was to do more good deeds in this life to save her happiness for the next life.


Originally, Chi Li could directly bless people, so that they could be safe, happy, and prosperous in the next life. However, the original owner left so fast that she couldn't even see her soul, so naturally she couldn't give him this belated gift. blessing of.


Fortunately, she is now carrying the body of the original owner. From now on, she only needs to use the identity of the original owner to do more good deeds, which can always help others accumulate some blessings for her next life. This is the so-called blessing of the previous life and enjoy it in the next life.


In a way, it's almost like being blessed by her.


Chili's test time was very accurate. After changing her clothes, she basically went through all the memories left by the original owner and memorized some key information.


Thanks to her quick movements, she was able to answer Mrs. Chen's questions later.


"Little girl, drink the ginger soup first, don't get sick."

"By the way, I haven't asked you your name yet, little girl, what is your last name? Where do you live? Why can't you think of jumping into the river?..."


"Mom, please ask my sister if she still wants to drink this ginger soup?"


Seeing that Chili was overwhelmed by her mother's series of questions and didn't know whether she should drink the ginger soup she was holding in her hand, the righteous Xianggui stood up and stopped her mother from asking.


"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Auntie is quite impatient. Let's talk quickly. You drink the ginger soup first, and we'll talk about it after you finish." Auntie Chen, who was reminded by her daughter, realized that she was a little over-enthusiastic and might be Frightening others, he quickly stopped talking and smiled apologetically at Chi Li.


"It doesn't matter, I know aunt cares about me."


Chili didn't bother, and Gululu drank a whole bowl of spicy and sweet ginger soup in one go.


It was only when the ginger soup entered her mouth that she realized that Mrs. Chen actually put some sugar in it. You must know that sugar was an extremely precious thing in ancient times. Even though this dynasty was a rare prosperous age, the economy was developed, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and were generally better than Other dynasties were more affluent, but sugar was still very precious to ordinary people. It was regarded as a tonic and should not be eaten except during festivals or when sick and giving birth.


So Mrs. Chen is really a kind person to be so kind to a stranger.


Chili is naturally grateful for people being kind to her, but she is penniless now and has nothing to repay directly, so she can only answer people's questions obediently.


"My surname is Chi, and my last name is the word pear, which means pear. I live in Da'an County, Nanhuai Prefecture. I came to Kyoto alone to find my relatives. After arriving, I learned that the other party had passed away. I could only regret that I returned home. What could I do? When I came, I ran out of money and had no money to eat. Maybe I was hungry because I hadn't eaten for a long time. When I walked outside the city gate, I suddenly felt weak under my feet and felt dizzy, so I accidentally fell into the river."


This was the excuse Chi Li thought up before she changed her clothes and came out. It was impossible for her to tell everything about the original owner's experience to strangers. It was not that she didn't trust Aunt Chen and the others, but it was mainly to protect the original owner's reputation and not want her to be raped after her death. Pointing.


Even though the status of women in this dynasty was relatively high and the social atmosphere was relatively open, they were still a little harsher on women.


For example, if Chen Shimei's incident is publicized, even if it will have some impact on Chen Shimei's reputation, it will not affect his career. At most, it may cause dissatisfaction with the noble lady and cause discord between her husband and wife. However, That's all.


No matter what, he and the noble daughter are already married and have children, and it is impossible to really reconcile, so he can still connect with the wealthy in-laws. With the support of the high-ranking in-laws, and he is also somewhat talented, his future is still Expected.


And what about the original owner?


Being abandoned before you are married is like an abandoned wife. Even if you don't end up being drowned, your reputation will definitely be ruined in the future. Not only will you never be able to marry again, but it will also damage the reputation of the entire family and cause your parents to be criticized by others. , I can no longer hold my head high and be a human being.


And this matter cannot be concealed. The original owner ran away from home alone, and Chi Xiucai's family suddenly lost a lot of people. The neighbors must have discovered it long ago. When she returns, if she can successfully find her fiancé. It's okay to let him marry her, maybe it will become a good story, but she met Chen Shimei, and if she goes home now, her reputation will be ruined no matter what.


Because of this, the original owner, who had no hope for the future, desperately chose to commit suicide by jumping into the river to avoid dragging down his parents and relatives.


But no matter what, at least in this unfamiliar world, Chili still wanted to protect the original owner of Ichigo.


"I'm hungry. Why didn't you tell me earlier? Wait, I'll get you something to eat."


Mrs. Chen didn't have any doubts about Chi Li's words. After all, the girl fell into the water and climbed up by herself, which showed that she didn't want to die, so she was more concerned about Chi Li's food and clothing.


He quickly went to the kitchen to get four steamed buns that had just been made in the morning, two vegetables and two meats, and piled them all in front of Chili, urging her to eat: "Quick, eat quickly, it's important to fill your stomach."


"Thank you ma'am."


Chili was really hungry. Before this, the original owner had not eaten for two days and one night, and her stomach hurt from hunger. Now as soon as she picked up a bun that was as big as her two fists, she immediately She stuffed it into her mouth, and her extremely hungry look further confirmed what she just said.


"Eat slowly and don't choke. No one will compete with you."


As a person with a daughter, Aunt Chen couldn't help but feel a little sour when she saw a little girl who was about the same age as her daughter being so pitiful, and she looked at Chi Li with more and more pity.


The buns were too big and the ingredients were very practical. Even if she was very hungry, Chili couldn't eat so much at once. In the end, she could barely fit in two before she was so full that she had to stop eating.


"Thank you, ma'am. I will never forget your kindness. I will definitely repay you someday."


Although she knew that verbal thanks were useless, Chi Li still did not forget to express her gratitude to the kindhearted people. Of course, she said that she would repay the favor in the future, but in fact, she silently gave a small blessing to Aunt Chen and her daughter. The effect is not big, but it is enough to help them overcome difficulties when they encounter any difficulties in the future.


This is an invisible gift of gratitude, and another visible gift of gratitude, which she will make up for in the future when she is able.


"No need to thank you, I'm not helping you much, it's just a little thing." Aunt Chen waved her hand nonchalantly. After thinking about it, she took out ten copper coins from her purse and went back to the kitchen to get four more buns. , and the rest made up six, and handed them to Chili together.


"Miss Chi, take these, and I will give you the clothes as well. Don't refuse. I can't help you much. I can only give you these. I hope you can return home safely as soon as possible."


Aunt Chen, who had already seen that Chi Li wanted to say goodbye and leave, did not force her to stay. She was just a stranger she met by chance. When she met someone who was in trouble, she would help her if she could help her. After helping her, she would go or stay. , it's also other people's business, and she doesn't expect anything in return, so naturally she doesn't care about anything.


Chi Li was indeed in a hurry to leave.


Her intuition told her that it was not safe to stay in Kyoto. She didn't want to harm the kind-hearted Aunt Chen and her family, so it was better to leave as soon as possible.


Chili didn't refuse Aunt Chen's kindness. She knew that these were what she needed most now, so in the end she accepted them shamelessly and solemnly thanked people again before leaving.


Since the previous clothes were still wet, Chili could only wring off the excess water with her hands and hold them directly in her hands. She would wait until she found a place to stay before hanging them up to dry.


Now, she had better leave Kyoto first.


Although she was in a hurry, Chili did not go straight away from Kyoto after leaving the city gate. Instead, she followed the direction of the moat, looking for something all the way down.


After searching for about ten minutes, she finally found a small cloth bag hung by a branch on the shore.


This was the luggage of the original owner. When he jumped into the river, he also fell into the water and was washed away by the water. Fortunately, it was not picked up by others.


Chili bent down and pulled up her luggage. She squatted on the ground and opened it to check if anything inside was missing.
Nothing is left behind, and her luck is still on the line.


Since everything was soaked in water and had to be tidied up, Chili picked out the most precious wood-carved pear hairpin and threw it away while doing so.


This was a token of love given by Chen Shimei to the original owner. It was not a very precious thing, but it was carved from a random branch picked up from the road. The carving was very ugly. That is to say, the original owner liked Chen Shimei at that time, so he regarded it as a treasure. , now this thing looks unlucky, it is better not to keep it as an eyesore, I believe the original owner will not be happy to keep it.


Except for the broken wooden hairpin, the original owner only had two sets of clothes, a pair of embroidered shoes, and some needle and thread for mending clothes, and then they were gone.


What Chi Li told Mrs. Chen before was true. The original owner really had no money.


Her family background is not bad. Not only does her family have hundreds of acres of fertile land, but her parents are also good at running businesses. Plus, she only has such a precious daughter. Doesn't that mean she should give her the best of everything?


The original owner had one tael of silver every month just from the pocket money given by his parents. In this dynasty, this tael of silver was enough to cover the expenses of an ordinary family of three for two months. If he saves a little, he can barely spend three months.


However, this pocket money had been coaxed by Chen Shimei to subsidize their family. It even included the money the original owner had saved when he was a child, as well as the red envelopes he received from his elders during holidays.


On the contrary, the original owner spent money very sparingly, or spent almost nothing. She had food and accommodation at home, and her mother would often buy her clothes and jewelry. In fact, there were not many places to spend money.


She even later learned that Chen Shimei had no money to go to Beijing to take the exam, and couldn't bear to see her depressed and sad all day long. She ran and knelt in front of her parents, crying and begging them to give her her future dowry first, hoping to use the dowry to help Chen Shimei go to Beijing to take the exam.


Originally, the original owner was thinking that she was going to marry Chen Shimei anyway, so if the dowry was paid in advance, it was no big deal. As long as her fiancé could go to high school, was she worried that the family would have a hard time in the future?


Her parents may have considered that the two children were finally engaged and would be husband and wife as long as nothing unexpected happened. At the same time, they could not resist their daughter's plea. In addition, Chen Shimei was indeed quite talented. He was ranked third in the provincial examination back then. If he could take another step forward, Being able to become a Jinshi would completely change the family background. When the daughter gets married, she will directly become an official's wife. Only then did she agree to this ridiculous request.


Who knew that he would end up raising an ungrateful white-eyed wolf.


Later, the money for the original owner to go to Beijing was the pocket money she had saved later, about ten taels of silver.


Chili suddenly realized something was wrong.


Since ten taels of silver was enough for the original owner to take a one-way trip to Beijing, then why did Chen Shimei, who had received a full 200 taels of dowry silver from the original owner, need so much money?

Combined with the money that the original owner's family had been cheated out of by the poor Chen Shimei, Chi Li realized that the original owner's family might have been scammed and were killed as fat pigs. After killing them, they would be kicked away if they had no use value. .


Chi Li, who wanted to go back and point at Chen Shimei's nose and curse, stopped the urge with strong willpower, quickly packed all her luggage, left the place quickly, and ran away from Kyoto.


Her choice was right. Not long after she left, a group of people followed her traces and appeared in the place where she had appeared before. After asking around, they confirmed that she had left Kyoto and returned to resume her life.


He Fu.


Knowing from his subordinates that Chili had left Kyoto after being driven away, the man in charge could not help but breathed a sigh of relief, but did not reveal anything on his face. He only said quietly: "Since he has left, there is no need to chase him any more." , Mistress is very heavy now, don’t bother her with these little things, do you understand what I mean?”


"Little understands."


After his subordinates said goodbye and left, He Xuexu whispered to himself: "You are wise."


After all, they have been in a relationship for many years, and as long as the other person doesn't bother him again after leaving, he doesn't want to go too far.


Of course, another reason is that his foundation is not yet stable. If he moves too much, it will easily arouse his wife's suspicion. She must not let her know about this.


-


The donkey cart was swaying and Chili was drowsy.


She was sitting in a donkey cart with her knees in her arms, her feet and back were close to people. Because there were too many people, the smell around her was not very good, which made people feel very uncomfortable, but she could only endure it.


She had no choice but to have too little money, so she had no choice but to take out eight cents as travel expenses, get on the public donkey cart, and let it take her to the next town.


That is to say, the villages and towns near Kyoto are more prosperous, and the demand for population mobility is greater, so they have this kind of public transportation to facilitate each other. When they are further away, Ikeli will have to walk on his own two legs. , or you have to find a way to get money to get home in another better way.


It was impossible to walk home on two legs, and she was afraid that she would get stuck in the middle of the road before she got even halfway.


So Chi Li chose the latter method to make money.


With Chili's luck, it is easy for her to get money quickly. She can just find a casino and wander around twice. Even if the principal is only two pennies, it is not difficult to get sufficient travel expenses. However, gambling damages her merits, and she I won't do it under any circumstances.


So this option was directly rejected by Chi Li, and she changed to another more legitimate way of making money.


——Go wander around the streets.


The money that is destined to her will naturally go into her pocket.


Just after wandering around, she suddenly noticed something with sharp eyes. Chili quickly took two steps forward and called out to the girl in front: "Girl, girl, please stay!"


"Huh? You called me?"


The girl who heard the voice turned her head suspiciously and looked at Chi Li who was catching up.


"Your wallet fell." Chi Li pointed to the ground.


Looking at the ground in the direction of her finger, she found that it was her purse. The girl hurriedly knelt down and picked it up, with a look of joy on her face: "Thank you, this contains something very important to me. It would be troublesome if I lost it." .”


As she said that, she stuffed the dropped purse into her clothes and hid it, while taking out a broken piece of silver from another bulging purse at her waist and handing it to Chi Li: "I give this to you, I thank you for your kindness. Please don’t refuse to remind me of my thank you gift.”


Chi Li didn't mean to refuse. She had really used her ability to help others, and she deserved some gifts in return.


It’s not because Chi Li was short of money that this girl’s things were lost and Chi Li just happened to find her and gave her a chance to make money. In fact, if Chi Li hadn’t reminded her today, this girl’s things would still have been lost and she would have lost her things. It is very likely that he will never get it back, so it is precisely because of Chili that the other party can get this good luck. This is where Chili can really help others.


The girl who dropped the thing was dressed as a knight, and she looked like she was not short of money. She was also very generous and gave Chi Li a tael of silver directly.


One tael of silver was equivalent to a thousand penny in this dynasty, and one penny could buy two large white steamed buns. If Chili spent some money sparingly, it would last for a while.


With this money, Chi Li temporarily solved her urgent need. Although she was still short of money, she was obviously much more relaxed during the subsequent stroll. She was still in the mood to appreciate the cultural scenery of this dynasty and look for any bargains. You can stay at the inn.


She planned to stay here for one night today and leave early tomorrow morning.


Chili didn't know the road, but it didn't matter. She had the memory of the original owner going all the way to Beijing. She just had to return the same way as the original owner came.


According to the memory of the original owner, she would need to take a donkey cart or a horse-drawn carriage and pass through two counties and several villages before arriving at a small riverside town. There was a cargo terminal here, and she could take a passenger ship here for six taels of silver. Going south along the canal, you can reach Liang Yuancheng, the main city of Nanhuai Prefecture, in about one and a half months.


After arriving at Liang Yuancheng, you need to transfer a carriage and drive for more than ten days to reach the original owner's hometown, Da'an County.


Therefore, the whole journey from the original owner's home to Kyoto took about more than two months. If Chen Shimei and He Xuezhou High School had kept his promise and returned home to marry the original owner, I am afraid that by now, these two children would have been born, and there would be no Chili in the future. It's over.


While strolling, Chili confirmed the next route in her mind. Suddenly she felt something strange behind her. She subconsciously reached out and fished a child into her arms, successfully making him avoid it and hitting him on the head. A sap came down.


"what are you doing?"


The loud question suddenly attracted the attention of passers-by. The assailant was just a thin man. He was not even taller than Chili when he stood up straight. He suddenly became the focus of everyone. Looking at the obvious murder weapon in his hand, everyone He immediately realized that this was a bad guy, and his eyes changed instantly.


The man who originally wanted to pounce on Chi Li and snatch the child away from him saw that the people around him looked wrong and seemed to be trying to surround her. He knew that he would suffer if he didn't run away, so he immediately ignored everything and turned around, pushing aside the crowd and fleeing.


In fact, it was good that he didn't run away. Once he ran away, everyone confirmed that this person was really a bad person. After all, if he didn't have a guilty conscience, why would he run?

Many men with a strong sense of justice rushed out immediately when they saw this. They threw the person down with a sudden rush and subdued him in two or three blows. The whole process happened in just a short moment, and the person was caught, almost too fast. It makes people unable to react.


"what happened?"


It was only then that someone asked this question in confusion.


As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at the girl who started to scold him.


"I don't know either. I just saw the man holding a stick and wanted to hurt the child, so I subconsciously picked him up..."


Chi Li was actually quite confused, so when someone asked her, she couldn't answer anything. But one thing she was sure of was that the child in her arms was originally in danger of death, but was caught by her unintentionally. With a scolding, he broke the catastrophe and escaped from the destiny of early death.


"Whoa whoa whoa whoa..."


The child who was quite quiet at first seemed to have finally recovered from the fright, and suddenly started to cry loudly, which shocked Chili.


"Don't cry, don't cry. Don't cry. Can my sister buy you sugar-coated haws? Don't cry, baby..."


Help, she doesn’t know how to coax a child!


Chi Li, who was busy coaxing the child, couldn't help but cast a look for help at the people around her, but no one paid attention to her, because everyone's eyes were attracted by the turbulent cavalry in the distance, and then they separated the two sides with awe, and separated a pair of horses that were not meant to be. The wildly wide road was given way, leading straight to Chi Li.


Chi Li calmed down immediately.


The child's parents are here.


Sure enough, the leading cavalry galloped in front of Chi Li and yanked the reins, stopping the horse suddenly. Then he got off the horse and a group of tall and strong men gathered around him anxiously and worriedly.


"Little prince!"

"Finally found you!"

"The end will come later. If the young prince is frightened, he will lead the army on his own when he returns."

"Where is the thief who stole the child? Let me kill him or not!"

"My young prince, please stop crying, but where are you injured?"

……


The noise of a group of big men chattering away was comparable to a large group of ducks. Even Chili couldn't bear it, let alone the child in her arms.


I saw the child who was about to be comforted by Chi Li, his mouth tightened, his eyes closed, and he suddenly cried louder.


"Everything is quiet!"


The sudden loud shouting caused the scene to fall into deathly silence. The group of people all widened their eyes comically, looking at the young woman who suddenly went crazy while holding the young prince in her arms.


Without giving these people a chance to argue again, Chili reached out and stuffed the child into the leader's arms, then pointed at the thin man who was still being held down not far away and simply recounted what had just happened. Once again, he added at the end: "Please take good care of your little master in the future. If such a young child is really hit on the head, no one dares to think about the consequences. Fortunately, the little master is fine now, and the little girl will Farewell."


After finishing her words, Chi Li felt relieved for a moment, then turned around and left. It was already dark after wandering around, so she had to quickly find an inn to check in and buy some food for dinner.


Chi Li finally found a clean and affordable inn to stay in, and took the cheapest low-class room for fifteen cents a night.


After opening the door, she looked around and felt that it was actually okay.


The room was not big, just big enough for a bed and a small table. There was a window opposite the bed, and a short pole ran across the edge of the window for drying clothes.


The clothes that had been wet before had been suffocating in the package. After such a long time, they had already become stinky, so they had to be washed before taking them out to dry.


If you live in a superior room, you can ask the lady in the inn to help you wash your clothes. However, in lower-class rooms, you don't have this treatment. You can wash your clothes. There are wooden basins and wells in the yard and even soap locusts are provided, so you can wash it yourself.


Chi Li is not very good at washing clothes by hand, so she can only fumble and throw the dirty clothes into the basin, then add water to it, then break off a piece of soap locust and rub it in. When it feels almost done, she will pour a lot of clean water to remove the soap loin on the clothes. Rinse the bubbles, then wring them dry and let them dry.


The soap used here is not a modern soap, nor is it a chemical product. It is actually a horn-shaped plant fruit. If you break it open and soak it in water and rub it, you can make a lot of bubbles. These things can Help people wash the things they want to wash.


After washing, it will have a unique plant fragrance, which smells very good.


Chi Li only had a few pieces of clothes, and they were all washed quickly. She washed the tub and put it back. She also placed it in a place where it could get the sun to dry, and then took the washed clothes back to dry. After getting up, after finishing this, I walked out of the room and went to the inn lobby to order a bowl of some noodles for dinner.


I was only halfway through eating the noodles when there were three more people around me.


A young woman in black and silver-patterned clothing, the leader of the cavalry whom she had just seen, and a child in the woman's arms, the child who was saved by Chili.


Only now did Chi Li have the time to see what the child looked like. He was very young, about three or four years old. His face had the unique baby fat of a young child. His facial features were very delicate, his skin was white and tender, and he was dressed in a uniform. Wearing a sapphire blue brocade cross-collared robe, one can tell at a glance that he is a young master who has been pampered by his family since childhood and grew up in a wealthy family.


The facial features of the woman holding him are somewhat similar to his, but she looks more sharp and heroic, with a correct temperament and heroic appearance, like a female general who has been on the battlefield for a long time.


In contrast to this pair of outstanding siblings, the tall young man next to him who was originally quite handsome looked like a follower.


"I wonder if you adults have anything to do with my little girl?"


Knowing that his status was extraordinary, Chi Li also considered his title with more respect.


Each place has its own rules, and there are differences between worlds. She is not the kind of fairy who has gone down to the world and still looks down on mortals because of her former identity. Now that she has come here, she has replaced the original owner's identity and inherited other things. Social status, then when meeting others with higher status, she will naturally follow the proper etiquette.


"Don't be afraid, we are not here to cause trouble." Seeing Chi Li's cautious attitude, the woman who was obviously the leader took the lead to comfort her: "My name is Mo Yu, and this is my brother Mo Xun. I'll be waiting for you. I came here specifically to look for a girl, mainly to thank you for your generous help just now, which saved my brother from disaster."


With that said, Mo Yu placed several items on the table and pushed them in front of Chi Li.


Chi Li lowered her eyes and saw a stack of banknotes, a dagger, and a copper token in front of her.


The word "zhen" is printed on the surface of the token, but I don't know what it means.


"I know that the girl is kind and will not look down on such vulgar things. I don't expect to repay your kindness with just this thing. But the current situation is inconvenient. We have to hurry up and we can't stay here for a long time. Please take care of it." With these, if you need it in the future, you only need to bring this token to the Duke's Palace in Kyoto, and you will definitely get help from all the people in my Duke's Palace."


This is a promise, which means that the entire town government owes Chili a favor. I am afraid that if she asks the town government to help teach He Xuezhou a lesson, that person will have no hope of an official career in the future and will never be able to turn around.


But she wouldn't waste this precious promise here.


A scumbag is not worthy.


"I took the things."


Chi Li helped someone avoid death this time, and accepted the thank-you gifts more confidently than the previous time.
