Traveling through time and space to become a lady of a noble family, but she only wants to escape

Suddenly the wheel hit a big rock and the carriage shook violently.

Qiaoqiao's words just now made Baizhi confused and didn't know what to say, but this sudden shock made her come back to her senses and wake up.

She avoided Qiaoqiao's gaze and clenched her teeth: "Everything else can be discussed, except this one, no matter what excuse you come up with."

"elder sister……"

"Absolutely not! If you really died in Ningzhou, how would I cope with it? How would mother cope with it!"

As soon as she said this, Bai Zhi realized that she had spoken without thinking and her voice was too loud. In this small carriage, she was almost yelling at Qiaoqiao.

But she clenched her fists and did not apologize immediately as she did before. She hoped that Qiaoqiao would be scared away by her shouting - although she knew that the hope was slim.

As expected, after being frightened and shaking for a moment, Qiaoqiao immediately regrouped and said with a stiff upper lip: "With Brother Cheng's protection, I won't die."

"Today, Cheng Mao also protected him, but Chuqi was almost strangled to death."

"I have already thought about this. I will send Chuqi out of Ningzhou first and hire a carriage for him to go home. Then Brother Cheng and I will go back to Wu County."

Lin Chuqi's ears moved, and it seemed that he heard it, but he just raised his eyelids slightly and said nothing.

Bai Zhi's head throbbed, and she said forcefully, "If you insist on staying, don't blame me for forcibly tying you back."

Qiaoqiao bit her lower lip and after a moment of silence, she spoke hoarsely, "Sister, do you still remember when we were still in the capital, you, me, Chuqi, and the third master went to Donkey Shop Street together, and you made me a wish."

The days in the capital were almost like the past. Bai Zhi could barely remember Donkey Shop Street, but she couldn't really remember what wish Qiaoqiao had mentioned. She shook her head, feeling a little bad: "Is this true?"

"Yes." Lin Chuqi suddenly spoke, his eyes still on the ground, and he said faintly, "That day you granted each of us a wish. My wish was to be able to call Madam San "Miss", and Qiaoqiao made a silly wish, but you rejected it. You promised her to save it for later."

After hearing such detailed information, Bai Zhi finally vaguely remembered that it was true.

Now she knew with her toes what Qiaoqiao was going to say next.

Qiaoqiao held up Baizhi's hands. Her tears had almost dried up, and the interlaced dry tear marks made her originally round face look resolute.

Qiaoqiao said: "Sister, I will use my wish here."

With a creaking sound, the wheel rolled over another large rock.

Wu County is a small place, and after another stick of incense, the carriage arrived at the charity cemetery. Cheng Mao wanted to carry the two bodies in by himself, but the dead bodies weighed a thousand pounds. Bai Zhi saw that he really couldn't carry two thousand pounds by himself, so she volunteered to roll up her sleeves and help.

Cheng Mao was very terrified: "I can carry it twice, but how can I let Miss Bai do such a dirty job?"

Bai Zhi didn't care: "I killed someone today, and you still think the body is dirty?"

Cheng Mao: “…”

After the two left, Qiao Banxian went out of the carriage to get some fresh air, so Qiaoqiao and Lin Chuqi were the only ones left in the carriage.

"It's not easy to convince my sister." Qiaoqiao leaned back as if relieved. "Thanks for helping me, I owe you a favor."

Lin Chuqi raised her eyelids: "How did I help you?"

"Do you really want me to praise you out loud? You must remember that my wish back then was to drink, but you just said it was a silly wish. You were afraid that my sister would say..." Qiaoqiao frowned and imitated Bai Zhi vividly, "I even rejected your wish to drink, and you still want to stay on the battlefield?"

Lin Chuqi burst into laughter, and her depressed expression finally perked up.

"But when you said you wanted to stay, not only your sister, but I was also shocked. You were almost strangled to death today... You still want to stay, are you really not afraid?"

“… I’m scared, but I’m more scared of just leaving like this.”

Lin Chuqi rubbed the thin calluses on his right index finger from years of holding a pen. "Although I still think there's no point in staying here, if I just go back like this, this trip would be in vain, and the sin of being nearly strangled to death would also be in vain. I might as well follow you all the way to the end."

The moon was high in the sky. Qiaoqiao took a deep breath, then stuck her head out of the small window to look at the sky. She laughed out loud, "Then you must not die on the way!"

The sound echoed into the funeral home, and Bai Zhi and Cheng Mao, who were moving the corpse into the coffin, paused for a moment.

"Miss Bai." Cheng Mao said anxiously, "This is Master Qiaoqiao's voice. I'll go back and take a look!"

Bai Zhi grabbed him and listened for a while before saying, "There are no other footsteps. It's okay. Qiaoqiao sometimes yells like this at home. You remember, if something really happens, she won't yell, she'll just howl."

Cheng Mao was still unable to completely let go of his worry. While placing the old woman's body in the coffin, he was still looking worriedly in the direction of the carriage.

"I left them all in your care on the way here. I am half negligent in my duty today." Bai Zhi suddenly said, "I will stay from now on, but if something goes wrong with Chu Yunchuan, these two ancestors will have to be entrusted to you. The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly. If you keep on keeping on your guard now, won't you be exhausted by then?"

After she said this, Cheng Mao's guilt was slightly alleviated, and he bowed his head and said, "Thank you Miss Bai for your comfort. Cheng Mao knows what happened. It was my negligence today. Anyone who wants to hurt the two young masters in the future will have to step over my body."

It was tragic. Bai Zhi shook her head and said jokingly, "How can that be possible? If you die, how can they survive?"

Cheng Mao knew he had gone too far, so he grinned as well.

After a while, Cheng Mao said again: "Miss Bai, I didn't expect you would really agree to let the two young masters stay."

"..." Bai Zhiyi put the doll's body into another coffin with all her strength, and propped her hands on the coffin board, sighing helplessly, "What can I do? I did promise Qiaoqiao to grant her a wish. I can be treacherous to others, but I can't break my promise to Qiaoqiao... Oh, by the way, how much does it cost for the burial? Is ten taels enough?"

"It won't cost that much, Miss Bai. Just three taels for two people will be enough for the funeral clothes and coffin."

Bai Zhi was shocked and said, "So cheap?"

"It would have cost a lot of money, but it's become much cheaper since the turmoil." Cheng Mao stroked the coffin. "There was a rule in the Thirteen States before that the guardian vine blooms and bears fruit every month, and it's a very auspicious tree, so it can't be used to make coffins. Later, when there wasn't enough wood, people didn't care about that anymore. Since we didn't care about this or that, everything became cheaper."

Three taels of silver could not buy her sick plum hairpin, but it could send the old and the child on their last journey.

Bai Zhi sighed for a moment, wrote down the order of the coffins, went to the empty counter and left a note, and finally took out a five-liang silver coin from her purse and put it on top.
