Jiu Zhang Ji: The Daily Life of the Reborn Daughter

Chapter 96 Be obedient and rest assured

"I dreamed that you were buried by a mudslide." Qiao Lili was still sobbing as she spoke. She had already thought about what she was going to say along the way.

"Just because of a dream? You ran over here regardless of the danger?" Yu Jingyan's hands were itching again.

"No, I had a dream in which I saw you and fifty-four officials, along with villagers from twelve villages, being buried by a mudslide brought down by the Ganjiang River flood at Huaijiang Beach."

Yu Jingyan's heart skipped a beat. There were a total of twelve villages in Huaijiang Beach, and the group he led had exactly fifty-four people. However, this was not something little Ali should know.

"You dreamed of these numbers?"

"Yes, right?"

"Yes." Yu Jingyan nodded. Because it was yes, it was shocking.

"When I woke up in the morning, I was afraid, but I didn't really believe it, because I received your letter the day before, saying that you were on the Rock Mountain."

"I went to the outer study room in the afternoon and saw on the map that Huaijiang Beach is at the foot of Panshi Mountain. The date in my dream is three days later, which is tomorrow night."

"At that time, I had already let Xiaobai go. I had no choice but to ride here in person to report the news. And I didn't come alone. I brought four people with me. We walked together for the past two days and only separated this morning. I rode here alone because I knew I could see you before dark. I didn't expect it to rain, which delayed me."

Yu Jingyan looked at the miserable look of the little person in his arms. What had she done wrong? She was just too worried about herself. He hugged Qiao Lili tightly in his arms.

After saying so much, Ah Jing still doesn't believe it? Qiao Lili bit her lip.

"Brother Ajing, I had a dream before that Bai Junzhe would bring a woman back from the border." After all, it involved the previous engagement, and Qiao Lili didn't know how to continue for a moment.

Yu Jingyan let go of the arms that were hugging Qiao Lili, held Qiao Lili's shoulders with both hands, and looked into Qiao Lili's eyes with bright eyes. Qiao Lili thought that he was angry because of Bai Junzhe's mention, so she shook her body, trying to break free from his hands.

Yu Jingyan smiled and said, "So you prepared rotten eggs?"

"Yeah." Qiao Lili's voice was as thin as a mosquito.

Yu Jingyan held her in his arms again and gently touched Qiao Lili's earlobe with his slightly cool lips: "My little A-li is so amazing, I love you so much."

Qiao Lili shrank her shoulders to avoid Yu Jingyan's touch. She felt like she had become a cooked shrimp. No one in her past or present life had ever treated her so intimately.

"Master, the hot water is here." The voice of someone coming soon came from outside the tent.

"Come in." Yu Jingyan put Qiao Lili on the camp bed and stood up.

Several servants filed in, with their heads down and not looking around, and quickly put up a screen in the tent. Behind the screen was a bathtub that was seven-tenths full of hot water, a clothes hanger, a cloth towel, clogs, and a separate bucket of hot water, in case some more water got cold.

A bowl of steaming brown sugar ginger water was also placed on the table.

"A-Li, drink the ginger soup, take a hot bath, and change into dry clothes. I'll have someone bring food over later. After eating, you can rest here. I'll go and discuss this with the other adults." Yu Jingyan rubbed Qiao Lili's wet head: "Be obedient, don't worry."

Qiao Lili raised her tearful eyes and gave Yu Jingyan a flattering smile, "Yeah."

Yu Jingyan's hand moved from the top of Qiao Lili's head to the corners of her eyes, gently wiping away the tears there. In fact, he really wanted to kiss them away.

"Stay at the door until I come back." Yu Jingyan ordered to come quickly.

"Yes, I obey your command." Come and receive your command.

Qiao Lili drank the ginger soup and went to take a bath. Sitting in the tub filled with hot water, she felt so comfortable. In the past two and a half days, she had rested for less than four hours. She had been tense all the time, and now she suddenly relaxed. She felt extremely tired. There was no part of her body that didn't hurt, and the skin on the inside of her thighs was rubbed raw in several places.

This is because she has been riding a horse every day for the past three months. Otherwise, such a long-distance ride would not just be a matter of breaking some skin, but would probably cause a bloody mess.

She accidentally lifted up the loose hair on her forehead and quickly wiped the water off her forehead. During this period, she fell in love with wearing men's clothes when traveling, which was light and neat. She couldn't stick a flower hairpin on her forehead when wearing men's clothes, so she asked Liang Yuanming how to cover the birthmark.

Liang Yuanming asked about the size of the birthmark and used the scraps of human skin masks to make several covering membranes for her. He then glued them to the birthmarks with special glue. The membranes can remain attached to the birthmarks for a long time, but cannot be soaked in hot water for a long time, as the glue will melt and the membranes will fall off.

Although the name of the mask is the Character Mask, it is actually not made of human skin, but the skin of a kind of fish. After special treatment, it looks no different from human skin. After Qiao Lili put on the mask, she looked at it carefully in the mirror, but she really couldn't see it. Only by staring at it closely could she see that there were some bumps on the edge.

If it were someone else, how could they stare at someone else's face at a close distance, so the probability of being discovered is very small.

After drying her hair and getting dressed, she quickly came to the door and reported, "Princess Bingliu, is it time to eat?"

"Come in." Qiao Lili sat upright in front of the small table.

Come and bring in a food box, take out a bowl of porridge, two plates of light side dishes, and a portion of red date steamed buns.

"There's nothing good in the countryside, so you'll have to make do with what you have." He bowed and was about to go out.

"That's great," Qiao Lili thought for a moment and said, "Just call me Miss Qiao." After all, she and Yu Jingyan haven't married yet, and it's really embarrassing to call her the prince's consort.

"Yes, I obey."

It was too late, and Qiao Lili ate a big bowl of rice soup at Erniu's house. In fact, she was not very hungry, so she ate a little, rinsed her mouth, and then fell asleep on Yu Jingyan's bed due to being too tired.

Maybe she was too tired, or maybe it was because she saw Yu Jingyan and the heavy stone in her heart was put down, or maybe it was because the sound of rain outside the tent was too soothing, Qiao Lili slept deeply and soundly. She didn't know when she fell asleep, she heard someone calling her softly in her ear.

"Ali, little Ali, wake up."

"Xiao Ali, get up." She felt her nose was pinched.

The upper eyelids and lower eyelids were tightly entangled with each other, and now they had to separate temporarily. Qiao Lili opened her eyes, and an enlarged handsome face appeared in front of her.

"Ah Jing?"

"Call me Brother Ajing." Yu Jingyan pinched Qiao Lili's nose with a little force: "If you call me the wrong name again, I'll pull your nose off."

"Hurry up, we need to move our camp first."

"If we leave in a panic, the villagers will believe that there is real danger."

"Hmm," Qiao Lili sat up and looked at the sky outside. It was still dark. Yu Jingyan sensed that she wanted to know what time it was, so he said, "It's just the hour of the zodiac."

So, it is already a new day. In her previous life, today was the day she and Bai Junzhe got married. On this day in her previous life, the entire Huaijiang Beach would have been submerged by a mudslide, including the place where she was sleeping now.
