Time travel is risky, and love requires caution

Chapter 75 Let’s Go Down the Mountain

One day, Pei Chufeng had just returned home when a servant came to report that a woman claiming to be Du Jingshan's cousin had left a family letter, hoping that the third prince would pass it on.

Pei Chufeng had been planning to go up the mountain the next day, but when he saw Bei Wei coming, he did not dare to delay and immediately asked someone to bring the things he was going to take up the mountain. He put the letter in his pocket and rode off at full speed to deliver the letter.

When I took the Seventh Princess up the mountain, I was worried that her body wouldn't be able to handle it, so I didn't dare walk too fast. It took us a whole day just to reach the foot of the mountain.

Pei Chufeng was now traveling light, so he spent much less time on the journey and reached the mountain in the afternoon.

As a result, he saw a scene that made him very unhappy.

The Seventh Princess, Du Jingshan, and his master were sitting in the yard around a small round table, happily playing leaf games. No one noticed his arrival, and he felt like an uninvited guest.

And his master was obviously the loser, with rice particles all over his face. He stuck them in a very creative way, all concentrated on his chin, which made it look like he had a white beard.

Moreover, because Du Jingshan was introverted and the Seventh Princess had a bad voice, the two spoke in low voices, so only his master could be heard shouting excitedly, looking quite imposing. However, when he opened his mouth too wide by mistake, rice grains fell from his face, and then the hens clucked and scrambled to eat the rice grains that fell on the ground, which was a very funny scene.

It's so outrageous, so unworthy of a teacher, so indecent. The Seventh Princess had just gotten better and she had corrupted her master.

The key is that these three people are too arrogant.

He coughed, trying to attract the attention of the three people, but it was obviously to no avail. He felt even less noticeable than a hen.

It was not until he really started coughing that the three of them finally looked up and saw him. After seeing him, they turned back and continued playing the leaf game.

Pei Chufeng felt bored and went straight into the house to sulk.

The three of them returned to the house after having enough fun. Ling Qiqi saw Pei Chufeng, who had already lost half of his anger, and her hoarse voice was full of surprise:

"When did you come?"

Pei Chufeng was choked and started coughing again.

The witch doctor came over and felt his pulse, and said with concern:

"Your pulse is fine? Could it be that you choked on your saliva?"

Pei Chufeng was deeply moved. People who were neglected would become brighter with a little sunshine and more prosperous with a little rain and dew.

"Why don't you stay at home when you have nothing to do? Why do you always go to the mountains?" the great witch doctor complained.

Pei Chufeng seemed to be poured with a bucket of rain and dew, and said angrily:

"Deliver the letter."

After saying that, he took out the letter from his arms and handed it to Du Jingshan.

Ling Qiqi immediately thought that there was news from Qi Qing, so she ran to Du Jingshan and huddled together with him to read the letter.

Unexpectedly, there were only a few words in the letter:

"Everything is fine at home. My cousin has arrived in Yudu and is waiting at Xingsheng Inn."

Ling Qiqi excitedly whispered in Du Jingshan's ear:

"Is Qi Qing here?"

Du Jingshan thought about it and nodded.

"Let's go down the mountain." Ling Qiqi whispered in an unquestionable tone.

Du Jingshan thought about it again and nodded.

The master and the apprentice were both very anxious when they saw the two people opposite them whispering to each other without paying attention to others. The apprentice felt that he was being excluded again, while the master was just out of curiosity.

Ling Qiqi, who had reached a consensus with Du Jingshan, informed the master and apprentice calmly:

"Aunt, I want to go down the mountain."

"No." The witch doctor refused categorically. Realizing that his tone was too harsh, he quickly explained:

"Your body still needs some conditioning."

"Auntie is afraid that you will get bored if you leave it alone on the mountain, right? How about Auntie come down the mountain with us?"

"Okay." The witch doctor agreed readily.

Looking at such an unprincipled master, Pei Chufeng could only smile bitterly.

Seeing that no one objected, Ling Qiqi dragged a few people to discuss the plan of going down the mountain. Everyone agreed that Pei Chufeng should go down the mountain first to find a place for them to live, preferably with more houses, so that it would be convenient for the cousin to stay for a while. Then they discussed that it would be better to open a clinic, which would be more convenient to conceal. Ling Qiqi insisted on dressing up as a man and talking to Du Jingshan about being brothers. The witch doctor thought it was fun and also dressed up as a man to talk to the two of them about father and son. Therefore, without allowing Pei Chufeng and Du Jingshan to express any more objections, the aunt and nephew duo made such a happy decision.

After the discussion, it was already late. The sun set earlier in the mountains and the light had dimmed. Pei Chufeng planned to stay overnight in the mountains. In fact, he envied the relationship between the three people and wanted to take the opportunity to get closer to them.

Others remained silent, because no one dared to force a prince of a country to travel in the dark. If anything dangerous happened, they would not be able to bear the consequences.

So Du Jingshan went to cook dinner, and the witch doctor continued to play the leaf game to fight against corrupt officials. Pei Chufeng didn't know how to play it, so the aunt and nephew enthusiastically explained the rules to him. But the two of them had a tacit understanding, only talking about the rules, not the skills, and intended to join forces to make Pei Chufeng's face covered with rice grains.

As a result, after a few rounds, Pei Chufeng actually became a self-taught player. When Du Jingshan brought in the prepared food, the aunt and nephew had already lost the game.

After finishing the meal, the three of them wiped their mouths and continued to fight against corrupt officials. Du Jingshan consciously went to wash the dishes, and after returning, he began to pack up the things to take down the mountain in advance, like a hardworking young wife.

When it was time to go to bed, Du Jingshan was in a dilemma. The bed and couch were occupied by the witch doctor and the seventh princess. Du Jingshan had always slept on the floor. It would be a bit condescending to ask the third prince to sleep on the floor as well. Besides, it was already late autumn. Even in the relatively warm south, it was still very cold in the mountains at night. Even if the bedding was evenly distributed, it would not be enough to make another bed on the floor.

Unexpectedly, Ling Qiqi climbed directly onto the bed of the witch doctor, clamoring to sleep in the same bed with her aunt. The empty bed was just right for the third prince to sleep on, and the problem was solved.

After turning off the lights, Ling Qiqi hugged her aunt and chatted, while Du Jingshan and Pei Chufeng lay in their own quilts and listened to the conversation between aunt and nephew. Gradually, the four of them fell asleep.

The next morning, Pei Chufeng went down the mountain, and the other three prepared to go down the mountain together. They couldn't take the four hens down the mountain, and they couldn't leave them alone, or they would be taken away by wild animals in the mountain. Ling Qiqi thought it was better to save money for herself than save money for the wild animals, so she asked Du Jingshan to kill one every day to make soup.

Two days after they finished eating the four chickens, Pei Chufeng came back to pick them up from the mountain, and brought two sets of men's clothes for the aunt and nephew to change into.

The group finally came down the mountain and officially moved into their new home. Ling Qiqi was very satisfied with the house and toured it inside and out. The house was really big, with a shop in front and a yard in the back. The shop in front was just right for a clinic, and the backyard had two entrances, which was more than enough for a large family.

Nan Shen is different from the Bei Kui residential buildings, which are all square and facing south and north. Instead, they are built according to the terrain, leaning against the mountains and surrounding the water, which gives them a kind of winding paths and poetic charm. Although each house is not big, it is exquisite and unique.

Ling Qiqi let her aunt live in the largest room in the inner courtyard, and she chose a room with bamboos planted in front of the window.

After making the general arrangements, Ling Qiqi sent Pei Chufeng away and asked her aunt to go back to the house to rest. Then she couldn't wait to ask Du Jingshan to go to Xingsheng Inn to find Qi Qing.

Half an hour later, Du Jingshan came with Qi Qing. The moment she saw Qi Qing, Ling Qiqi rushed over directly. Qi Qing was also very excited, regardless of the master-servant etiquette, hugged the Seventh Princess and wiped her tears.

"Why are you crying? I'm fine." Ling Qiqi comforted.

Unexpectedly, Ling Qiqi's hoarse voice touched Qi Qing's tears again, and the tears that had just stopped flowed again.
