After traveling through time, the four best friends were all targeted by the boss

"Girl, your Bishui Villa is so big." Han Liuyi looked around and skillfully started a conversation with the girl who was sweeping the floor in front of her.

The woman sweeping the floor was quite young, her facial features had not yet fully developed, and her face looked extremely ordinary.

"Are you the girl who came up with Master Pei?" She blinked and looked at her silently, "Are you looking for someone?"

Han Liuyi waved her hands and lowered her head somewhat dejectedly: "It's okay, I'm just a little lonely and want to find someone to talk to."

The little girl didn't quite understand and asked doubtfully: "Aren't you here with Master Pei and the others? You can talk to them."

Han Liuyi sat on the flower bed and said softly, "I was just on the same road as them, and they just happened to save me. Now I'm here alone, and I feel really lonely."

Seeing her with her head down and looking listless, the little girl couldn't help but feel sympathy for her and sat down next to her.

"The people in Bishui Villa are very nice, you can talk to them," she said.

"Really?" Han Liuyi's eyes lit up, "What's your name then? My name is Han Liuyi!"

The little girl smiled and replied: "Just call me Xiao Ai!"

Seeing that she was completely wary of him, Han Liuyi's eyes flashed with a sly smile, and asked: "Xiao Ai, which room does your owner live in? I'm an orphan, and I have no one to rely on if I go down. Bishui Villa gives me a very friendly feeling, I want to join!"

Xiao Ai thought for a while, then raised her head and said, "The owner's house is a separate courtyard." She pointed to the garden at the back and said, "Just walk past there and then through the bamboo forest."

She paused, and then continued, "Our owner is very kind, but I don't know the conditions for joining the villa. I came in when I was very young."

Han Liuyi smiled brightly and said gratefully, "It's okay, I can ask him myself! Thank you, Xiao Ai."

Xiao Ai looked at her fair face and clear eyes and couldn't help but say, "It's okay, Miss Han, you are so pretty, and those four girls are also very pretty, I'm so envious!"

Hearing this, Han Liuyi was stunned for a second, and then said embarrassedly: "Don't say that, you are also very beautiful."

As she spoke, her eyes were deep, and when Xiao Ai didn't look at her, she seemed to see through Xiao Ai.

-

Han Liuyi returned to the room and immediately drew a rough sketch of Xiao Ai's face with a pen.

She opened the package and was glad that she had brought the things she needed for disguise.

She was carefully making the human skin mask and unintentionally looked out the window.

The houses in Bishui Villa are almost all built with bamboo. There is a bamboo forest behind the bamboo houses, which makes a pleasant rustling sound when the wind blows.

I don’t know if it’s because I’m in a foreign place, but Han Liuyi feels a sense of melancholy and loneliness in my heart.

She inexplicably recalled the time when the eight of them were getting along on the way to Bishui Villa.

It was something she had never seen before.

She aspired to be a heroine since she was young. Under her father's instruction, she learned martial arts, medical skills, and the art of disguise, and even learned a lot about making poisons.

She wanted to make her way in the world with her own abilities. Because of her father's encouragement and her own talents, she was always proud wherever she went.

Lin Yue liked to follow her since he was very young, like a follower. She was very annoyed with him before, but she never showed too much dissatisfaction. Now, she actually missed him a little.

Han Liuyi smiled self-deprecatingly. When she grew up, she realized that the world was not so easy to navigate. Even her father had been in danger many times.

She lost her dream of traveling the world and turned to help her father realize his lofty ambitions. But when she really arrived in the world, she found that there were so many masters and she was nothing.

Even so, she did not give up her pride as a favored girl, but now, she was trapped in a small mountain villa.

"Sigh..." She sighed rarely, buried her face in her arms, and lay on the table.

-

Time was running out, so those people at Bishui Villa who knew how to sew were making masks in the lobby, while those who didn't were outside packing medicinal materials for treating smallpox according to Tao Tao's instructions.

Truckloads of medicinal materials were transported from Lianyun City. That was the hope of Taoyuan City, and they needed to hurry up and get the medicines ready.

There are thousands of people in Bishui Villa, and they have been very busy in the past two days. The investigation into whether they have any personal grudges with Nanmen Jian is progressing very slowly.

While everyone was busy, Han Liuyi walked through the garden and bamboo forest alone and found Zhong Ziyi's yard.

She looked at the plaque at the gate of the courtyard, on which were written the words "cultivate one's self-cultivation and improve one's character" in large letters.

She clenched her fist. She had previously framed the Bishui Villa in order to use the knife of the four major families to get rid of this neutral sect. She didn't expect that the owner of the villa actually knew them! He was also a half-hearted boy who didn't care about worldly affairs.

She adjusted her facial expression slightly and walked in.

Everyone was busy with the masks and medicinal materials, and there were no guards here for Zhong Ziyi.

Han Liuyi squinted her eyes skillfully, and a layer of mist immediately appeared in her half-grown eyes.

There was a sly smile on the corner of her mouth, which contrasted with the upper half of her face and was inexplicably weird.

Zhong Ziyi was leaning on the couch, reading a book in his hand.

Han Liuyi stepped forward and immediately knelt on the ground.

Zhong Ziyi put down the book, stood up and walked towards her, saying, "Xiao Ai, get up quickly."

Han Liuyi blinked her eyes. With her superb acting skills, even with an ordinary face, she still looked heart-warming.

"Master, my distant relative sent me a letter asking me to attend my cousin's funeral." She said with tears in her eyes.

Zhong Ziyi gently held her arm, took out a handkerchief and handed it to her, saying, "Why haven't I heard you talk about it before?"

Han Liuyi wiped her tears with a handkerchief, looking so pitiful: "We have only met once, after all, we are blood relatives... Master, can you let me go down the mountain?"

Zhong Ziyi thought for a while, and said with some concern: "Where will your cousin's funeral be held? If she died of smallpox... you'd better not go, it's easy to get infected."

Han Liuyi immediately shook her head and said, "No, no, she was too weak and had been sick. We haven't seen each other for more than ten years. Now that she's dead, I have to see her, right?"

Her eyes were red from crying, and she looked very pitiful. Zhong Ziyi sighed, Xiao Ai came to the villa when she was very young, and a relative passed away, so she should go and see him.

He nodded and gently touched her head: "Okay, don't cry, go to Dingxiang and get twenty taels of silver later."

Han Liuyi's eyes flashed, thinking that Dingxiang should be the one in charge of the money.

"Okay, thank you, Master." She finally smiled. Zhong Ziyi nodded with satisfaction, turned around and took out a slightly thicker piece of paper from the cabinet and gave it to her.

She understood that it should be the thing that could allow her to get out. In the past two days, she saw those people who went downstairs to transport medicinal herbs using this.

After getting the things, she immediately left the yard, but met Xia Nian and Xia Hou Yu in the garden outside.

Xia Nian had a calm expression and was holding a large bag of masks in her hand. Xia Hou Yu caught up with her and snatched them from her.

Han Liuyi subconsciously touched her face, calmed herself down, and ran past the two of them.

When she passed by Xia Nian, Xia Nian's heart trembled inexplicably and he turned around to look at her back.

Didn't she move the things just after seeing this girl? Why did she come out again?

"Anian, what's wrong?" Xiahou Yu couldn't help asking when he saw that she was distracted.

Xia Nian shook her head, thinking that she might have seen it wrong. She didn't remember the girl's face very clearly.

"It's okay, Xiahou Yu, you take this and I'll get another one." She said.

Xiahou Yu immediately stood in front of her: "Okay, Anian, I can take several bags by myself anyway!"

Xia Nian looked at him helplessly, with the corner of his mouth slightly raised.
