The Princess's Deadly Daily Life
Chapter 113: A person of color, black cloth covering his face
Despite the situation in the village, they still hope that an outsider will bring the antidote, as if they have grabbed a life-saving straw. It can be seen that the suffering caused by the sores makes them willing to grasp any glimmer of hope... even if the person who poisoned the village is right here!
However, what does it matter if that person has been in the village from beginning to end? If she keeps silent, everyone in the village will be at a loss.
So... the real reason why he was brought to the village this time was not that simple.
Bahar smiled.
Long Qi came back to his senses and heard Bahar laugh, "I have no choice but to think of a temporary solution, telling them not to worry, saying that as a descendant of the royal family, you will naturally find a way to detoxify them."
As he spoke, he also bowed to Long Qilue, "This is the etiquette of the Yanqi common people towards the royal family. In the past few decades, I have seen this shocking scene again. How can I bear to let their hopes become a bubble? But this is just a way to comfort them temporarily."
Seeing him sigh, Long Qi understood and said, "It seems that you have sought medical help to cure the poison, but to no avail?"
The old general frowned again at this question and said helplessly, "My dear, you don't know. This poison is strange. I have consulted famous doctors from all over the country, but they all said they can't do anything. Only the person who poisoned it can cure it. No matter how skilled others are, it will be in vain."
Long Qi naturally knew that the person he mentioned as the poisoner was the one he mentioned: the princess of the Tang Dynasty who married far away in Yanqi, and Long Qi's biological mother. He said this in the hope that Long Qi would feel pity for the Yanqi people and disgust for his biological mother.
And if his life story was really like this, he could probably use it as a criticism to pry open the mouth of the person who poisoned him and remove the poison.
"The Yanqi nation was destroyed and their families were ruined. They had to migrate, but only a hundred people were willing to come to the Tang Dynasty. These people are now old and sick, and are just struggling to survive. If they could see their children and grandchildren in good health in their later years, they would have no regrets..."
He did not reveal Bahar's thoughts. After all, the other party was also taking things step by step and was not so blunt, and the facts were still to be verified.
Someone interrupted Bahar by saying something respectfully to him and handed him a letter.
He nodded slightly to Long Qi, then took the letter and opened it. It would have been fine if he hadn't read it, but he took a deep breath at the first glance, "This girl..."
He suppressed the rest of his words because Long Qi was beside him.
Long Qi obviously didn't know what he had read, but he waited patiently. However, the fact that he paused and didn't say anything showed that he was obviously worried, which was really intriguing.
Facing the suspicion revealed in Long Qi's expression, Bahar immediately put away the letter and said with a smile: "There is a banquet being held in the village now, and it was also my girl who asked for it. Why don't we go ahead?"
Long Qi snorted coldly and said directly: "I just want to know where its owner is now?"
A hairpin suddenly appeared in his palm under the sunlight, which made Bahar stunned for a moment.
It was the one that Bahar gave to Longqi last time.
He looked up at Long Qi, then at the hairpin, narrowed his eyes and smiled, "There's no rush. We're tired from traveling so fast. Why don't we take a break and talk later?"
"Why delay?" Long Qi stared at Bahar and asked, "Isn't this the reason you brought me here?"
Bahar's eyes turned, "Of course not, it's just that my husband just returned to the village, we have to give her some time to react, right? If I don't inform her in advance and rashly take my husband there, I'm afraid it will be bad..."
Long Qi was speechless for a moment, not knowing what Bahar was up to.
Bahar then smiled and said, "My dear, please be patient. It's not that I am careless, but I am afraid that you will break the promise at the last minute. I need to have a definite answer before making arrangements. Everything needs to be done step by step. We can't rush things, right? We have been traveling for half a day, so we can't afford to waste a little time. We should also take care of our internal organs."
He smiled and brought Long Qi to the village.
Along the way, although the old, weak, women and children did not have big jobs, they all had jobs to make a living. They watched us weave cloth, make shoes and weave baskets day after day, and they were skilled at it, spending the four seasons like this...
Until today, a handsome young man who looked like a banished immortal had actually come to the village. Those who had been looking at him frequently put down their work and stared at him in amazement.
Some who were able to move slowly followed not far behind him, joining in the fun.
There were receptionists, but they were mostly young women with their faces covered, who filed into the hall holding trays in their hands. Further in, there were figures of some tall, some short, some fat, some thin. Although they were not hiding and timid, they were quite shy.
Long Qi saw a group of people, their faces covered with black cloth, preparing what was needed for the reception banquet, and then they all stood aside and whispered.
These women, who have not been out for a long time, have forgotten what a normal young man should look like.
Moreover, no outsider would ever come to the village.
Occasionally, robbers and bandits would be repelled by the old general and some guards of the village, and the terrain here is high, so the bandits will not cause trouble for themselves.
That's why when Long Qi appeared, everyone was stunned for a moment when they saw his tall, slender and handsome appearance.
There were some who were not shy enough to come closer and look up at her, only to sigh at how clean her skin was. Her healthy, smooth cheeks were so flawless that their eyes almost popped out.
Long Qi looked back at the nearly one hundred scorching gazes and calmly, and some of the women opposite him also restrained themselves a little.
Bahar grunted, and those curious people stepped aside and stopped talking.
"My dear, you are surprised. The kids here have hardly seen many outsiders, especially someone like you. It is even more unusual."
Bahar sighed, asked Longqi to sit down, served him flower and fruit tea, and took a sip of tea. He couldn't help but sigh: "The children here are so pitiful, but what's wrong with them? The only mistake is that they are Yanqi people!"
Long Qi remained calm in response to Bahar's sigh.
He did have sympathy for the fate of these Yanqi people, so he would not be too confused. If it was true as Bahar said, then he should also be a Yanqi person, but the evidence in front of him alone was not enough to support his complete trust, especially since all of this was related to his biological mother.
Not long after Bahar lamented, a woman's voice came from afar. The voice was short, but the tone was cold, so they couldn't hear what she said for a while, but Long Qi found it a little strange and immediately looked at Bahar.
"It doesn't sound like the language here." Long Qi became suspicious and walked out following the sound.
The old general calmly stopped in front of him and said with a smile: "Wait a minute, my dear. Although the woman seems to speak the Central Plains dialect, she may not be someone you know. There are many women here who can speak the Central Plains dialect. Don't worry, I'll go see what's going on."
As he said this, he winked at the person next to him.
As if it had been agreed in advance, not only women and children, but even children rushed towards Long Qi, forcing him to retreat again and again.
It was so difficult for Long Qi to explore further that he not only retreated, but was also surrounded and sat down again.
Seeing him sitting down, the women and children still blocked him in like a low wall, chattering and not dispersing.
Bahar therefore went outside, and when he got there, he saw Shi Yu bringing a woman from the Central Plains into the village.
The woman's wrists were tied to her chest and she was dragged into the village by Shi Yi.
The woman had a fair and pretty face and a calm expression. Only Shi Yu was shouting and boasting about having found a treasure, and kept waving the whip in the air, forcing her to call him husband.
