Chapter 168 You Lie Down
Li Yujiao hurriedly said: "I'm fine, it's just a minor injury, just apply some medicine and it will be fine!"
Jing Qishan only regretted taking those people's lives so quickly. He should have tortured them for a few days before killing them, otherwise they would not know the consequences of offending his wife!
Jing Qishan said: "Then lie down and I will apply medicine to you!"
Li Yujiao didn't dare to resist and could only lie down obediently.
Jing Qishan brought over some trauma medicine and applied it little by little on the skin on her lower back.
He didn't intentionally ease up on the pressure, and sometimes he even pressed harder on purpose.
It hurt her so much that she said, "Jing Qishan, be gentle!"
Jing Qishan said, "How can you learn a lesson if you don't feel any pain? You were kidnapped today, will you be able to come back alive next time? I gave you the manpower, but you insisted on splitting up. Is picking those herbs so important?"
Li Yujiao said aggrievedly: "Why are you saying this now? Besides, I am fine now, right? I met the people from Black Bear Village this time, and they saved me!"
When mentioning Black Bear Village, Jing Qishan suddenly paused.
Black Bear Village.
In his previous life, he had spent a year with them. He knew everyone there and later they became brothers.
Unfortunately, later the imperial court recruited them and they followed him to the battlefield, where they all died in the end.
Li Yujiao sensed something was wrong with Jing Qishan and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you?"
Jing Qishan suddenly smiled bitterly, "What Black Bear Village? They are just a bunch of bandits!"
Li Yujiao thought, in the original book you were brothers with him, but now you call him a bandit?
It seems like a lot of the plot has changed.
But Jing Qishan continued, "Since they saved you, I will go up the mountain with you to thank them some other day!"
Li Yujiao couldn't help but think again: Although the plot has changed, the general trend seems to remain unchanged, and Jing Qishan will still get to know them.
"They seem to... not like being officials." Li Yujiao said.
Jing Qishan said: "I am not an ordinary official, I am a third-rank general. It is their blessing that I personally went up the mountain to thank them!"
"Then maybe they don't care about it?"
"My wife, you have always been a grateful person. Why do you say such things now? Don't you like the people in the village? Do you also think they are bandits?" He applied the medicine a little more heavily.
Li Yujiao cried out in pain: "I don't think so. In my eyes, the Black Bear Gang is much better than the Tiger Head Gang. In the wars over the years, they have taken in many civilians and brought them to the mountains. They are considered heroes. But when I was kidnapped, I heard them say that they don't like officials and are worried that you will not be welcome in the mountains."
Selfishly speaking, she didn't want Jing Qishan to deal with them. If they became friends with Jing Qishan, the end would be terrible. The book said that all the people in their village would die.
Jing Qishan said: "Is there anyone in this world who doesn't welcome me?"
Li Yujiao: …
You are so conceited.
……
In the evening, when Li Yujiao went out to eat, she came to the front hall and saw Li Zhongping, Fu Yi and others kneeling at the door.
She knew at a glance that this was Jing Qishan's order.
Because she was kidnapped, Jing Qishan blamed Li Zhongping and others.
"Jing Qishan, why don't you ask Steward Li and the others to stop kneeling?"
Jing Qishan ate his meal and said calmly, "I haven't kneeled long enough."
"We are eating here and letting the servants kneel and watch us eat? Can you still eat like this?"
Jing Qishan looked at her with an expression that left no room for doubt: "Then let them kneel somewhere else, so as not to affect my lady's appetite."
"Stop it!" Li Yujiao knew that she couldn't persuade Jing Qishan, so she had to persuade him to stop.
Not only could he not persuade her, but Jing Qishan was also trying to teach her a lesson, because he knew that she was considerate of the servants, so if she wanted the servants not to be punished, she would have to pay attention to her own safety in the future, otherwise the servants would be implicated.
Li Yujiao originally wanted to ask him how to deal with Bai Da and his men. Those people kidnapped her, and she thought that they should not be let off easily. It would be best to sentence them to ten or eight years in prison before being released.
But seeing Jing Qishan's serious expression, she didn't dare to ask.
……
The next day, Jing Qishan arranged for Li Qiping to prepare a big gift, which was filled with bacon, rice dumplings, noodles, cloth, and medicinal materials, a total of several large loads.
"Husband, where are you going?" Li Yujiao asked.
Jing Qishan said, "Let's go to Black Bear Village to thank them for saving my wife. Would you like to come with us?"
Li Yujiao naturally wanted it, and she quickly said, "My husband is going to thank my lifesaver. Please wait for me, I will go back and change my clothes."
Li Yujiao went up the mountain to collect herbs yesterday, and she was wearing a coarse cloth dress that was convenient for movement. Today she was going to thank her benefactor, so she naturally had to dress more formally, but not too gorgeously.
She changed into a pink satin dress, a dark red cape, and a pair of red carved cloth shoes, and asked Huahong and Liulv to help her tie up her hair.
Simple and dignified.
As soon as she came out, Jing Qishan was stunned.
She couldn't help but ask, "Why are you looking at me like that? Isn't it inappropriate to dress like this?"
Jing Qishan smiled and said, "There's nothing wrong with that. If you dress like this, the flowers on the roadside will wither in a little while."
Seeing that he was talking nonsense again, Li Yujiao knew that his anger must have subsided, so she became bolder and called him by his full name again: "Jing Qishan!"
"Do you think I am the beautiful Diao Chan?"
Jing Qishan said: "I have never seen Diao Chan, and even if I had, I would not think she is as beautiful as you."
"Stop trying to cheer me up and hurry up. We still have a long way to go on the mountain road!"
Li Zhongping and other servants finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the couple start joking and laughing again.
……
You have to climb mountains to go to Black Bear Village.
It was difficult to get into the carriage or sedan chair, so we had to walk up.
Fortunately, the people in the General's Mansion are not weak, and Li Yujiao often climbs mountains to collect herbs, so she has good physical strength.
It was a pity about her cloth shoes. There was a very muddy section of the road up the mountain, and her shoes were covered with mud, and her skirt was also splashed with a lot of mud.
When she climbed to the same place as yesterday, she was already sweating profusely.
Jing Qishan took off her cloak and held it in his hands.
Just as he was about to continue walking forward, a man's voice came from the woods ahead: "Who's coming next?"
Jing Qishan bowed and said, "I am Jing Qishan. I heard that your village saved my wife's life yesterday, so I came here today with a small gift to express my gratitude."
After a while, a man flashed out from the woods. It was the head of the family, Qin Qi.
Guan Liuzi was originally on duty here, but he was injured yesterday, so Qin Qi is the one guarding here.
When Tan Qi came out, his eyes first fell on Li Yujiao.
Li Yujiao quickly bowed to him and said, "Seventh Master, we meet again."
When Qin Qi saw the refreshed Li Yujiao, it took a lot of effort for him to take his eyes off Li Yujiao.
When he saw the tall, burly and imposing Jing Qishan, he couldn't help but feel a little inferior.
Jing Qishan was also looking at him.
Qin Qi, the little brother who loved to follow him in the previous life, was finally shot to death by several arrows.
