After putting away "Shengshu", Li Qi looked around again and found a painting hanging on the wall. The person in the painting was somewhat similar to Lu Jinshuang.
Especially those eyes, as if they were carved from the same mold.
Li Qi was a little curious. Could it be that this "Shengshu" has something to do with Lu Jinshuang?
Li Qi rolled his eyes, simply took off the painting and stuffed it into the package.
After coming out of the stone room, Old Suntou had disappeared. Li Qi shouted a few words at the top of his lungs, but there was no response.
When I came outside the cave, I saw no one.
I thought he was going back to the bamboo house, but when Li Qi came over, there was no sign of Lao Suntou in the bamboo house except Wei Gang and Qu Bingwei.
"Where is Mr. Sun?" Li Qi asked.
Wei Gang asked doubtfully: "Didn't he leave with you, Master?"
"He hasn't come back?" Li Qi asked.
Wei Gang shook his head.
That's weird, where did this old man go?
Just when Li Qi was thinking about going back to look for it, something suddenly fell in front of everyone.
After taking a closer look, I discovered that it was actually a wine gourd.
Li Qi went over to pick it up. There were two words "take care" engraved on the gourd.
What's going on?
What happened to this old Suntou?
Before Li Qi could think more, there was a sudden "bang" sound that startled everyone.
Following the direction of the sound, Li Qisan ran over in two steps, walked through the forest, and found that it was the Handong Waterfall that he had just come out of. At this time, the entire waterfall actually collapsed!
"Master?" Wei Gang frowned.
Li Qi suddenly understood. If Lao Sun Tou didn't come over to say goodbye to him in person, could it be that he wanted to bury himself in that cold cave?
"Then old gentleman..." Wei Gang said.
Li Qi sighed and said, "Let's go."
…
More than half a month has passed since I left West Dian Villa.
Li Qi didn't expect that he would be out for so long.
During this period, Tang Yun and Wei Xinshan were basically helping Zong Mixing make cowpox every day.
However, in just half a month, almost everyone in Kuncheng was infected with cowpox.
And the prefect Zhang Min also made a lot of money.
On the day Li Qi came back, Tang Yun, Wei Xinshan and Zong Mixing came to pick him up at the gate of the villa.
At first, the three of them were still smiling, but when they saw Qu Bingwei next to Li Qi, the faces of the three women dropped almost at the same time.
"Yun'er, Xinshan, Mixing... have you missed me?"
Li Qi smiled and walked towards the three of them. Who knows, the three women turned around at the same time and left without even looking back.
Grandma, what's going on?
Li Qi didn't react. At this time, Qu Bingwei seemed to see something and came over and said: "Brother Li, I won't go in. Let's just leave here."
After saying that, Qu Bingwei cupped her fists and saluted, turned around, got on the horse, and left directly with a wave of her whip.
Wei Gang entered the village with his luggage at this time, and for a while Li Qi was the only one left at the door.
Looking around, Li Qi sighed deeply: "What a sin!"
The purpose of the southwest trip has been achieved, and Li Qi knew that he had to return to Beijing as soon as possible, otherwise there would definitely be trouble.
So he rested for the night at the West Dian Villa, and the next day Li Qi left with the original team.
When he left, Zong Mixing's eyes were red and he looked very reluctant to leave.
"I have to go back first if I have something to do. If you miss me, you can come to Kyoto to find me at any time." Li Qi said.
Zong Mixing nodded and asked, "Brother Li, will you come to see me?"
"Of course I will. When I have almost settled the matter in Kyoto, I will come over to see you." Li Qi said.
"Well! Well, I'll wait for you here."
Li Qi smiled and said: "I'll leave the cowpox matter to you. Remember what I told you, don't leak the formula to anyone. And you can help me keep the money from Mr. Zhang.
If anything happens, you can write to me at any time."
Zong Mixing nodded: "Okay."
Zong Yinghao, Xiao Jijia and Sai Qianqian naturally came to see Li Qi and his party off. If Li Qi hadn't been in such a hurry to leave, he would have really wanted to stay here for a while.
After leaving the West Dian Villa, the group returned the same way and arrived in Kyoto more than ten days later.
"We have already arrived in Jingzhen. We will arrive in Kyoto in one hour tomorrow morning." Li Qi sat on the chair and took a breath.
Traveling day and night these past few days has made him a little exhausted.
Tang Yun poured him a cup of hot tea, and Wei Xinshan stood behind Li Qi and gave him a pat on the back.
"You two, stop waiting on me and sit down and rest." Li Qi said.
Tang Yun smiled and said, "Sir, I'm not tired."
Wei Xinshan also said: "Me too."
These two women really have extraordinary energy, or are women the same regardless of that era?
Women of my time could go shopping for a whole day without getting tired, while women of this time just walk around as if they were playing.
After Wei had just fed the horse and returned to the inn, he sat aside and started packing the packages.
"Yun'er, go see what food is available here and ask the store to bring some." Li Qi ordered.
Tang Yun nodded: "Okay, Master."
"Xinshan, you don't have to beat me on the back. You can go help the monk tidy up his things." Li Qi said.
"Okay, Brother Li."
Li Qi stood up and went to the window. He opened the window and planned to blow in the wind. Who knows, he saw a cloud of dust not far away.
Immediately afterwards, the ground began to tremble, and bursts of horse hoofbeats came from not far away.
After a while, Li Qi saw an army coming to the town.
The sky has not completely darkened yet, and it is obvious that this army is grasping for time.
They planned to set up camp here before dark.
Li Qi couldn't help but wonder, what kind of army is this?
After dinner, everyone was ready to rest. After all, in this era, when it gets dark, you can only sleep and there are no other activities.
Li Qi and Wei Gang shared a room, and Tang Yun and Wei Xinshan shared a room.
Just as he was getting ready to sleep, there was suddenly a noise outside. Li Qi went out to take a look and found that it was the sound coming from the army camped not far away.
If you listen carefully, you can hear screams and begging for mercy.
Li Qi was obviously not the only one who discovered this sound. Many people in the town came out curiously with lanterns to take a look.
"What are you doing in the middle of the night?" Li Qi muttered, glanced at the sleeping Wei Gang, and did not call him.
I planned to go out and take a look myself, but as soon as I came out of the room, Tang Yun and Wei Xinshan were already at the door.
"Why haven't you slept yet?" Li Qi asked.
Tang Yundao: "We heard something moving outside, so we wanted to come over and talk to the young master."
Li Qi said: "Go out and take a look. What's going on? You're not letting anyone sleep in this middle of the night?"
