After rebirth, I kidnapped the sickly Dugong

Because she had slept for quite a while in the carriage, Wen Baizhi didn't feel sleepy at the moment.

She had to wait for Si Jiu to wake up anyway, so she thought she might as well do all the things she needed to do and the plans she needed to make later now.

They were going to Chidu.

Chidu is at the northernmost junction of Dacheng.

It actually doesn’t take much time to get from Kyoto to Chidu.

It only takes more than a month to get there.

But after all, they are carrying a princess, so the team naturally dare not move too fast. The pace should be slowed down appropriately. In the end, it will take about two months to get there.

It is now late spring and early summer, and the further north they go, the less they will feel the summer heat.

By the time it reaches red, it is already late summer or early autumn.

Besides, Chidu is much colder than Kyoto. It is likely that Chidu was already as cold as winter at that time.

So Wen Baizhi had to ask the people below to prepare clothes for the winter.

There are a lot of people in the team, and a lot of winter clothes and other things need to be prepared in advance, otherwise we will be overwhelmed when the time comes.

Fortunately, we spent a lot of time on the road, so we had enough time to prepare.

Wen Baizhi thought that she would go to Cuizhi to make arrangements later. If necessary, she would collect everyone's sizes to facilitate the distribution of winter clothes.

Then there is food storage.

There is a big difference between Chidu and Kyoto in terms of food.

Maybe because it is located in the north, the sunlight is not so sufficient, and the growth of vegetables will drop sharply in winter.

But Wen Baizhi, who comes from modern times, deeply understands the benefits of vegetables to the human body.

If you don't consume enough, the consequences can be serious.

They have brought a lot of vegetables now, but by the time they arrive in Chidu, these vegetables may have already gone bad or been eaten.

Si Jiu doesn't like meat, so even if it's just for him to eat more vegetables, Wen Baizhi has to find a way to store some dehydrated vegetables using modern dehydration methods.

This just requires experimentation.

Sitting at the desk, Wen Baizhi wrote down everything she was going to do next on a piece of paper.

Make a list and refer to it later so that nothing is missed.

When she put down her pen and put away the paper, she looked up and saw that Si Jiu had woken up at some point and was staring at her motionlessly.

Wen Baizhi walked towards the bed with a smile.

When he walked to the bed, Si Jiu's gaze followed her and came to her face.

"How long have you been awake?" Wen Baizhi asked in a gentle voice.

Si Jiu shook his head: "I don't remember."

He really didn't remember.

He only remembered that when he woke up, Wen Baizhi was not by his side. He was subconsciously nervous and scared at first, but when he looked up and saw Wen Baizhi sitting not far from him writing, he felt relieved.

After that, he kept staring at her and actually forgot how much time had passed.

I just vaguely felt that when I was with her, time became dispensable.

Her presence was a symbol of the passage of time for him.

Wen Baizhi continued to ask softly, "Do you want to sit up? You were lying in the carriage before, and now you've been lying in bed for so long, can you sit up?"

Si Jiu nodded.

Then Wen Baizhi helped him sit up and lean against the head of the bed, and carefully placed a pillow behind him so that he wouldn't feel uncomfortable when leaning against it.

She is always so attentive to his affairs.

"We have now arrived at the first rest station. It looks like we should rest here until tomorrow morning before setting off again."

Worried that Si Jiu wouldn't be able to immediately understand the direction of events, Wen Baizhi told him the current situation.

When discussing the itinerary arrangements for the princess's marriage with the ministers, Si Jiu already knew almost which post station she would go to every day and how long she would stay to rest.

So even if Wen Baizhi didn't tell him now, he would still know the name of the arrival station.

It’s just that he likes to see Wen Baizhi caring about him.

"Thank you for your hard work. I suddenly fainted. You must be scared." Si Jiu whispered.

Wen Baizhi showed a disdainful expression: "How could I be scared? You underestimate me too much. Don't you see who I am? Such a small thing is not enough to scare me."

In fact, if Rong Heng hadn't come to check on Si Jiu and said that he was fine, Wen Baizhi wouldn't have been so calm.

"That's good." Si Jiu pretended not to see through her disguise, "By the way, Queen, did you ask her to help me?"

Si Jiu didn't really think that he could ask the Queen to help him specially.

The only possibility is the relationship with Wen Baizhi.

He told Wen Baizhi that he had secretly replaced the Book of All People in Qi Yan'an's bedroom, and when Qi Yan'an was about to discover him, the Queen appeared outside the palace to help him.

It just saves him from getting up from his wheelchair and walking, only to fall again, causing a more serious leg injury.

Wen Baizhi nodded, and then told Si Jiu about her connection with the Queen.

"I was just worried that you couldn't do it alone, and I couldn't help you much outside the palace, so I asked the Queen to help keep an eye on you. I didn't expect that I would actually run into you, and I really helped you."

Si Jiu: "The Queen is a good person, but also a pitiful person. Maybe she really treats you as a friend and that's why she treats you so sincerely."

It would have been fine if Si Jiu didn't say anything, but Wen Baizhi felt a little regretful when he said it.

"But I can't go back to Kyoto in the short term, let alone enter the palace again, so the Queen won't be able to see me. The same goes for Qingyao. She still doesn't know that I am Wen Bai."

Eight out of ten things in life are regrettable.

Si Jiu comforted her, "After we settle down, maybe we can go back to Kyoto to play. Then we'll let you come back with the Chamber of Commerce's car and disguise you. No one will recognize you."

Although this sounds like duckweed without roots, it cannot be easily achieved.

But it's better than saying nothing.

"I know everything, Zijin. What's important now is to get our work done. There's still a lot of time in the future. I'm not in a hurry."

It was at this moment that Si Jiu remembered that the Book of All Peoples that he had stolen was still in his arms.

He took out the Book of All Nations from his bosom.

When Wen Baizhi saw the yellowed book of all nations that was so familiar to her, her eyes suddenly became red.

She took the Book of Nations with trembling hands, and then spread it out on the ground.

The name and hometown written on it appeared before her.

To Yu Sijiu, these people were soldiers who died in battle more than three years ago.

To Wen Baizhi, he was just a comrade-in-arms who had chatted and laughed with them and fought in battles with them a few months ago.

Wen Baizhi scanned each name, and almost all of them were written by her.

But later on, the cloth was not big enough and too many people died, so she stopped writing.

"I will send you home," Wen Baizhi promised with a choked voice, "Your families will know that you are all heroes."
