Fast Wear: A Different Life

Chapter 181 Ancient Times (35)

After the two men left Qinglian City, they let the two horses pull the carriage to find their own way. After all, old horses can recognize the way, not to mention two smart horses. There is also a Saker Falcon leading the way ahead, so as long as there is no danger or people ahead, the two men will not be seen at the shaft.

Along the way, the two of them consciously picked herbs, processed them, dried them, and then put them away. Sometimes when they passed through a larger city, they would go in and buy some herbs that they didn't have or were in short supply in the clinic.

When Ji Xiao was still in Qinglian City, she ordered several medicine cabinets, large and small. In order to place the medicine cabinets, she converted the storage room of the small building into a pharmacy and filled it with medicinal materials, all of which were common medicinal materials. She also put space for some more precious ones, such as ginseng and deer antlers.

When the two encountered some remote mountain villages, as long as they were not particularly xenophobic or the dens of human traffickers who committed crimes, they would stop and stay there, and then set up a table in the center of the village to provide free medical treatment.

At times like this, many people would come to see the doctor, so the medicinal materials would be consumed quickly. Li Xiangyi was worried about leaving her there alone, so after checking everyone in several nearby villages, he would take Ji Xiao away in the carriage under the cover of night.

Since Li Xiangyi had no experience at the beginning, when Ji Xiao said that the medicinal herbs were gone and asked him to go to the mountain to collect them, when he came back, he found that Ji Xiao was surrounded by people, and those villagers were driven aside, and some of them were even injured.

The reason was that at that time there happened to be a man who claimed to be the county magistrate's brother-in-law who had taken a fancy to Ji Xiao and was planning to rape her.

And those villagers were protected by Ji Xiao behind him. After all, they were in an unexpected disaster, so Ji Xiao had to protect these villagers while protecting himself. So when Li Xiangyi was picking herbs on the mountain and saw Chuyi coming, he knew that Ji Xiao was in trouble, so he didn't want anything and hurried back using the Posa Step. Then he saw this scene.

Seeing Ji Xiao surrounded, Li Xiangyi was so scared that he flew to her side, shook away the people around them, then hugged Ji Xiao back, and then looked down at her and asked nervously.

"Xiaoxiao, are you hurt anywhere? Did they hurt you?"

After seeing Li Xiangyi, Ji Xiao completely relaxed and quickly put away the poison in her hand. After all, most of the people here were villagers from nearby and they had no fighting power. If a fight broke out, she would not be able to protect them alone. If Li Xiangyi could not arrive in time, she would use poison, and then the damage range would be large.

Seeing that Ji Xiao was not injured, Li Xiangyi relaxed, and then looked at the big-headed man on the other side who was wearing gorgeous clothes, had a fat head and small eyes, and his pointed-faced lackeys and thugs.

"Who are you? Let go of that beauty. That's the woman I like."

"Yes."

"That's right, that's the one our young master likes, let her go if you know what's best for you."

Li Xiangyi pulled Ji Xiao behind him and said, "What can I do if I don't let you go? Get out of here if you know what's best for you, or you will bear the consequences."

The man and his lackeys laughed instantly after hearing what Li Xiangyi said, and then said arrogantly, "What can you do if I don't leave? My brother-in-law is the magistrate here, and this is the place under my brother-in-law's jurisdiction. What can you do to me? Do you dare to hit me?"

Afterwards, Li Xiangyi looked at the group of people with a cold face, as if he was looking at dead people. When the villagers around saw Li Xiangyi flying over and then being pushed away by him, they knew that everything was over. After all, people treated them for free, but they repaid their kindness with hatred.

And a few individuals in the crowd, namely the village thugs, also looked at Ji Xiao with disgust with their turbid eyes. So after Li Xiangyi settled Ji Xiao, he memorized the faces of those people in his mind and planned to settle the score with them at night.

"What's your brother-in-law's name? What's your name?"

"I will not change my name or surname. My name is Zhu Feng, and my brother-in-law is Yang Xingye."

At this time, an old man with a sad face walked over from the crowd and said to Li Xiangyi, "Mr. Li, that man is the brother-in-law of our county magistrate. He often rapes women and harms the people. It's useless even if you report it to the authorities. You should leave now!"

"Yes, yes, Mr. Li, please leave!"

"It's okay. I will take care of it and prevent them from doing evil again."

Seeing that Li Xiangyi was unwilling to leave, they stopped forcing him and stood behind the two of them, ready to help if anything happened.

Ji Xiao did not say a word during the whole process because she trusted Li Xiangyi. So Ji Xiao just said something to Li Xiangyi and turned around to treat the wounds of the injured villagers. After handing them the medicine she had prepared earlier, she let them leave.

The old man who had just spoken saw that he and his group could not really help, and staying would only be a burden to them, so he took the villagers away. However, before leaving, they helped to put away the tables and chairs before leaving.

Over there, Li Xiangyi had tied up the group of people with a hemp rope that he got from somewhere. Then, because he thought their noise was too loud, Li Xiangyi rolled up their clothes and stuffed them into their mouths. Then he strung them together and hung them under the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village.

After all the villagers left, Ji Xiao wrote a letter to Haidongqing Chuyi and Banxia to ask her to take the people from Sigumen and Law Enforcement Hall to handle the follow-up matters. (Sigumen Law Enforcement Hall is only responsible for collecting evidence to prevent innocent people from being hurt. The evidence will be handed over to the court and the responsible people in the court will take over. They will leave only after everything is settled. The main reason is that they will not interfere in the affairs of the court, but only provide them with help and get rewards.)

When Li Xiangyi came over, Chuyi had just flown away. Seeing this, he took over the matter in Ji Xiao's hands and asked her in a low voice with concern, "Xiaoxiao was scared today, right?"

"No, it's just that the person looked quite unusual and I was disgusted."

"Are you okay now? Light some calming incense before going to bed tonight! You must be hungry now! What do you want to eat? I'll make it later."

"I don't have much appetite right now, just do whatever you want."

"OK then!"

Even though Ji Xiao has experienced several worlds, she still can't stand seeing ugly things, mainly because they are eye-irritating and affect her mood.

Seeing that it was getting late, Li Xiangyi quickly packed up his things and put them in the pharmacy, then went to cook. At this time, Haidongqing Shiwu caught two rabbits from the mountain and Li Xiangyi cooked them all.

After dinner, Li Xiangyi prepared tea and snacks, hugged Ji Xiao and let her lie half in his arms, accompanying him quietly. Even with the beauty in his arms, he had no other thoughts that night. He was just worried that she couldn't sleep well at night, so that night, Li Xiangyi stayed with her until dawn. When it was almost dawn, he saw that Ji Xiao did not feel any discomfort, so he dozed off for a while.

From that day on, the two of them stayed there and waited until Banxia brought people here before they drove away. However, during this period, the two of them would go to the mountains from time to time to collect some medicinal materials, then process them, and after drying them, they would put them away in the pharmacy. Finally, after handing over the materials to Banxia, ​​the two of them left.
