The Princess's Deadly Daily Life
Chapter 146: Yanqi Horse Racing
At night, it was pitch black outside.
Inside the house, Amber was undressing Li Xiying's hair. Just as her three thousand strands of black hair fell down her back, Qiao Xian knocked on the door.
Li Xiying asked Amber to open the door, and saw Qiao Xian carrying two human skin masks directly into the room.
She calculated the time and found that it was done in less than two hours, so she handed it to her personally and gave her a fire starter.
Qiao Xian instructed: "Before sticking it on, you need to apply fish glue on the dough. There is no trick to it. The fish glue needs to be heated, and then it needs to be stuck tightly."
"Thank you." She said at the door and went back into the room, then looked at her suspiciously, "Why don't you try it?"
Li Xiying said, "I trust you, so there is no need to waste the fish glue and take the time to remove it."
"You can buy fish maw everywhere, but it's true that our fish maw is not as good as it is." Qiao Xian asked again, "Can you tell me why you need to disguise yourself?"
Li Xiying said bluntly: "I have already promised to help you, so I don't want to answer your unnecessary questions."
Qiao Xian sneered when she didn't get an answer, and stopped pestering him. She just reminded him, "The mask will start to peel off in two hours. It needs to be re-glued. Don't let anyone see the flaws and waste my two brand new masks."
Li Xiying nodded, and nothing else happened.
Qiao Xian wanted to say a few more words to relieve her boredom, but the other party ignored her and refused to listen. She stayed for a long time and just felt bored and quiet, so she pushed the door and left with a look of boredom in her eyes.
The next day, Li Xiying and Amber took their luggage and set off.
The mountain road was rugged, and they walked down the mountain in the direction of Luoyang.
Suddenly, a figure rushed out. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Qiao Xian. She walked over with a suspicious look on her face: "Are you really leaving like this?"
Li Xixiao was slightly puzzled. "Wouldn't it be to your liking if I left? Don't worry, I will fulfill my promise to you. When I return to Luoyang, I will tell Fourth Uncle about your situation. By then, I will ask Fourth Uncle to make some medicinal herbs to heal your scars, and I can send someone to deliver them to you. Of course, you can also come find me and I will introduce you to someone."
Then she added: "Besides that I don't think we'll bother each other anymore."
"That's not what I meant." Someone brought a pony not far behind Qiao Xian, and at her signal, handed the reins to Amber. "You think you can walk to Luoyang by foot?"
Li Xizhen didn't think so, but she had never seen any horses in Yanqi Village, so she didn't mention it, thinking of buying one when she passed by the inn. Who would have thought that Qiao Xian came here to see her off?
Although this horse is not as good as the common tall and strong horse, it is better than nothing. After all, if you rely solely on feet, you will need to waste a lot of energy to get to the place where you rent the horse.
"Long Qi seemed to like you very much, but I didn't expect that his lover left and he didn't come to see him off," Qiao Xian said, crossing her arms and looking at her, "Don't blame me for not reminding you, there are all kinds of birds and beasts at the foot of the mountain, don't let them eat you up until there's nothing left."
"Thank you for your concern. We will reach the foot of the mountain before dark. We have brought self-defense items with us." After saying that, Li Xiying stared at the horse beside Amber. It was... quite docile.
"Since that's the case, I won't meddle in your business. I'm only asking because you said you would help me heal my scar. By the way, I'll give you a horse as a gift." Qiao Xian said generously.
"Thank you very much!" Li Xiying patted the horse's back and paused for a moment. "Although this colt is small, it is better than nothing."
Qiao Xian couldn't help but frowned and looked at her questioningly, "How could you be so ignorant that you look down on our Yanqi horse? It's no worse than a Central Plains horse, and it's not a foal, but a full-grown horse. It can easily run 500 miles a day. You'll know once you ride it!"
Li Xixiao looked at the horse again. Although it was small, its hair was smooth, its eyes were gentle, and its muscles were strong. It was indeed a good horse. He smiled and said, "I really didn't know that. Thank you very much."
After saying that, she bowed and left.
Qiao Xian stopped and looked back at Li Xiying's back as she was about to leave. She couldn't help twisting her fingers, frowning, and said loudly: "The previous grudges are all in the past. I hope we can put aside the past..."
Li Xiying glanced back, slightly stunned, not knowing what she meant, and then replied leisurely: "You and I are just casual acquaintances, and we won't have much interaction in the future, so there is no grudge between us."
She didn't take it to heart at all. She just wanted to return to Luoyang as soon as possible. There were a lot of things waiting for her, so she didn't have time to worry about trivial things.
Qiao Xian choked.
After going through all this, Qiao Xian felt like she was a step behind, so she took the initiative to extend an olive branch, hoping to make a friend with whom she could talk. However, the other party was not interested at all.
She couldn't help but roll her eyes and had nothing to say. She hummed that the other party was ungrateful and went back in the opposite direction.
……
When we were going down the mountain, the weather was bad and it started to drizzle. The whole sky was filled with mist and rain, and the ground was muddy and slippery.
Because the mountain road is very steep, you need to walk a short distance while leading the horse.
"Princess, please be careful with your feet and don't step on anything unstable..." Before Amber could finish her words, she suddenly screamed, followed by a loud bang and a series of screams.
It turned out that Amber accidentally stepped on some fluffy leaves and fell into the trap.
Li Xixiao was stunned and turned back to look at Amber in the trap. She saw that her ankle was caught by the trap in the trap. She was unable to move due to the severe pain. Blood was still flowing out of her ankle, and the blood was instantly absorbed by the soil.
"Princess, this must be a trap set by the Yanqi people. There is no marking on it. You must be careful not to fall into it!" Even so, Amber still reluctantly said these words of warning with a bitter look on her face, and she was sweating profusely from the pain.
"I'll go find something to save you!" Li Xiying tied the horse to the tree and finally pulled some vines from the tree.
She tied one end of the vine tightly and put the other end into the trap, letting Amber tie it to her waist. It took a lot of effort to rescue Amber.
Amber's feet were still bleeding, and the iron tool was deeply embedded in the bones where the flesh was turned over, which was horrifying to the eyes. She was in so much pain that she almost fainted.
Li Xiying had never seen this thing before. While talking to Amber, she was trying to figure out how to open it.
"Princess, it's all my fault for being careless. I caused you to be unable to continue your journey. You can't go, and you can't stay. If you leave alone, I won't be sure about your safety..." As she spoke, Amber began to sob.
They had already traveled for half a day, and now there was no one around. Li Xiying naturally couldn't bear to leave Amber here alone, so he had to find a way to open the trap.
"Amber, please bear with me for a moment. The most urgent thing now is to open this thing. Do you know the trick?"
Amber shook her head awkwardly.
"Bear with it!" Suddenly she saw the mechanism, pulled out the hairpin from her bun, stepped on the pressure plate to open it, then inserted the hairpin again, and then gently took out the animal clamp.
But Amber's ankle was injured and bleeding a lot. The bones might have been broken, so she couldn't walk at all.
She took out a piece of cloth from her bag and wrapped it tightly to stop the bleeding.
At this time, there was a woman carrying a basket on her back on another hill, picking herbs as she walked. At first glance, there were scars on her face left by sores and poison, and she was definitely a Yanqi person!
Li Xiying shouted and waved: "Sister, please come over here for a moment!"
