Jiu Zhang Ji: The Daily Life of the Reborn Daughter

Chapter 95: Beating the Right Person

After the ox cart had been traveling in the rain for more than an hour, the rugged mountain road was no longer there and gradually became flat.

Qiao Lili thought, this must be the Huaijiang Beach.

The strong man called Lao Wu first went to a village to inquire. The village was relatively large, and then was told that it was not there.

He drove for another half an hour and arrived at another village. This village was bigger than the previous one. At this time, the rain was getting heavier.

After knocking on the door of a house at the entrance of the village to inquire, they learned that the officials were not in their village either. The two turned around and were thinking about which village to continue looking for them when a little head popped out from under the arm of the adult standing at the door. His body was hiding behind the adult. He probably crawled out of the quilt after hearing the noise, and his butt was naked.

"The masters on horseback built a lot of cloth houses in the threshing ground. Are you looking for them?" The little head spoke. He had no front teeth, so every word he spoke was leaky.

"You are talking nonsense, kid. When I came back from the threshing ground at dusk, there was no one there and the whole ground was full of water." The adult lowered his head and scolded the leaky little head.

"It's not the threshing ground of our village, it's the threshing ground of Dongliu Village." After the little kid finished speaking, he felt that he had said too much and quickly covered his leaky mouth, but it was too late.

The adult reached out and grabbed his ear, pulled his bare body out from behind him, and slapped his bare buttocks twice. The adult's palms were empty, and although the sound was heard, it didn't hurt much.

"I've told you so many times, don't leave the village, don't leave the village. If someone takes you away, where will you find your parents?"

Now the butt of Xiaoguang, who had been hiding, was exposed. The little kid had no time to cover his mouth. He didn't know whether to cover the front with his two little hands because he was afraid of being seen, or to cover the back because it would turn red.

Although his mouth was leaky, he still spoke toughly. "Maybe the one who beat the beggar won't beat the child, humph."

Qiao Lili thought to herself, this naughty kid deserves a beating, he should be beaten a few more times so that he will remember it.

She threw a piece of broken silver into the arms of the leaky kid. The kid didn't care about what was happening around him and hurriedly caught the silver. He wanted to put it into his leaky mouth and bite it, but was slapped on the hand by an adult. The adult thought the child was too ignorant and said shyly, "How can you take the young master's silver?" and asked the kid to return the silver to Qiao Lili.

"It's okay, take it, it's a cute child."

Hearing someone praising his child, the man smiled proudly, as if the person who had just hit the child was not him.

"Thank you, little clever boy. Save it to buy candy. But next time, don't run around." Qiao Lili pointed at him in the air, turned around and left with Lao Wu.

The ox cart traveled for another incense stick before arriving at the Dongliu Village that the leaky kid had mentioned. It was really unsafe for such a young child to come so far to play, and he should be beaten.

"That's the threshing floor ahead."

In the direction that Lao Wu pointed, there was a faint yellow light coming through the rain curtain, as well as intermittent voices. Qiao Lili's heart was about to jump out of her chest. Was she finally going to meet Brother Ajing?

She stood up from the ox cart regardless of the rain.

“Yu Jingyan!” she shouted, “Yu Jingyan!”

*

Yu Jingyan had finished his dinner and was feeding Xiaobai in the tent. Xiaobai had flown back yesterday when it wasn't raining for a while. He brought a letter from Qiao Lili, which was imprinted in his mind after he read it.

Which letter's contents were not imprinted in his mind?

Eight looms, lotus swaying and rippling, lotus-picking boats stop to watch ducks play. Candlelight in the west window, banana trees in the night rain, when will I return?

Little Ali missed him and asked him when he could go back. He wanted to tell Ali that it would be soon, but he could not write to Ali.

Now that it is the rainy season, he doesn't want to let Xiaobai fly for the time being, for fear that it will get sick from the rain. Anyway, they have patrolled to the lower reaches of the Gan River and will be able to return to Beijing soon.

Ali, just be good and wait for me for a few more days.

"Xiaobai, what do you think Ali is doing now?" Xiaobai pecked at the grain in his hand without saying anything.

"Xiaobai, do you think Ali is thinking about me now?" Xiaobai pecked at the beans in his hand without saying anything.

"noob......"

He suddenly heard someone calling his name. Why did it sound like Ali's voice? Was it because he missed Ali so much that he was hallucinating?

"Yu Jingyan!"

No, the sound came from outside, from the rain. He put Xiaobai down and opened the tent door. People who practiced martial arts had much stronger vision than ordinary people. He saw an ox cart driving towards the threshing ground.

As they got closer, there seemed to be a person standing on the ox cart. She was not tall and had a slender figure. It was her who was calling. She called again: "Yu Jingyan!"

"Ali!" Is it Ali who is here? He leaped over to the ox cart.

"Ah Jing!"

It was his little A'li, who was naughty and called A'jing brother. He flew onto the ox cart, picked up Qiao Lili, touched the shaft with his toes, turned around, and flew back to the tent.

His actions frightened Lao Wu, the driver, so much that he was stunned. Is there really someone who can fly? No wonder he can be a master from the capital.

Under the light in the tent, little Ali looked a little disheveled, with his hair stuck together, his body wet, and his boots covered in mud. This was the little Ali he had been thinking about day and night.

Shouldn't he be happy? Shouldn't he be pleased? Shouldn't he hug her and kiss her? But he frowned and slapped Qiao Lili's butt twice.

It didn't hurt, but the sound it made was so embarrassing.

"Do you know how dangerous it is for you to run so far alone?"

"Are you going to scare me to death?"

"It's raining and the sky is so dark. What should I do if something happens to you?" Yu Jingyan was so frightened that his back was soaked with sweat.

Qiao Lili was now standing on a wooden stool. She was first frightened by Yu Jingyan's slap and then by his questioning. When she came to her senses, she found Ajing, and Ajing would not be buried in the mudslide. She hugged Yu Jingyan's neck and burst into tears.

"Wuwuwu, Ah Jing hit me, wuwuwu, don't hit me."

Yu Jingyan himself had never thought that he would beat his little A'li one day, but just now, he was really scared and wanted to punish her well to teach her a lesson. Now seeing her crying, he regretted what he had done and felt distressed. He stroked Qiao Lili's waist and said, "Brother A'jing was scared out of his mind by you."

"Don't cry, don't cry, or you can call me back?"

Of course Qiao Lili couldn't fight back. She suddenly felt that she was getting her comeuppance. She had just said that the leaky child deserved to be beaten, and now she was being beaten.

Then she remembered that Lao Wu who had brought her here was still outside, so she quickly suppressed her emotions and said, "The ox cart that came to bring me here is still soaking in the rain. Let them go back."

"My bag is still in the car, and Wuzong is also tied to the back of the car."

"Come quickly." Kuai Lai just heard someone calling his master's name and ran out of his tent. But when he came out, he saw that his master had already carried someone into the tent. He had been waiting outside the tent.

"I'm here." Come and respond.

"Take the Sixth Prince's wife's baggage off the ox cart, reward him with fifty taels of silver, and send him back. Also, put Wuzong and Wuying together and take good care of them."

"The slave obeys."

After a while, the sound of an ox cart leaving was vaguely heard, and then, Kuailai's voice sounded outside the tent: "Master, the baggage of the Sixth Prince's Consort is here." Just now, when Yu Jingyan mentioned the Sixth Prince's Consort, Qiao Lili didn't think he was talking about her. Now, when she heard Kuailai call her the Sixth Prince's Consort, her face turned red.

"Come in." He quickly put Qiao Lili's bag on the table at the door and stood with his head down and his hands hanging. Qiao Lili was still standing on the wooden stool, sobbing, and he didn't dare to look up.

Yu Jingyan then instructed him: "Boil the brown sugar ginger soup and bring it over hot. Prepare the hot water for bathing and bring it over as soon as it's ready."

"I obey your command." Kuai Lai went out in a hurry.

Yu Jingyan took Qiao Lili down from the wooden stool and sat her on his knees. "Tell me, why did you run over here without caring about the danger?"

Note: A few winters ago, I lost a tooth while playing on the slide in Zhaolin Park and had a denture made. Today, while eating, I bit the denture and it broke, and now I am leaking when I speak. Woohoo, Shui Shui can't leak air by herself, so I'll write this - little butt kid, leak air with me.
