C122 (2/2)

Qiao Liangjin stopped her horse and looked at the red dust.

Red Dust looked at Qiao Liangjin and raised his horsewhip, saying coldly, ”What are you looking at, the journey is more important.” The horsewhip landed on the black horse's butt, and the black horse galloped ahead.

Qiao Liangjin smiled and raised her horsewhip as well, chasing after Hong Chen.

Along the way, they arrived at a relay station late into the night. Qiao Liangjin brought Yu Sheng and Zi Yan to sleep in a single room.

Zi Yan was preparing to sleep with Qiao Liangjin, but Qiao Liangjin pushed her hand away and gently shook her head, ”It's been hard on you too, don't worry about me.”

Zi Yan immediately turned around and made the bed. She placed the clean bed sheets on top of the bed and went to the other bed. She put on her clothes and lay down. Not long later, she heard light snoring sounds.

Qiao Liangjin also felt a slight pain in his thigh. After rubbing it, she stretched lazily on the bed and fell asleep while hugging Yu Sheng.

The conditions of this inn were not as good as the inn. After a night of sleep, Qiao Liangjin actually felt that her nose wasn't able to breathe well.

Zi Yan was the one who understood Qiao Liangjin the most. Hearing Qiao Liangjin's nasal tone, she nervously asked, ”Miss, are you suffering from a cold?”

Qiao Liangjin sniffed and laughed: ”I have no choice, I can carry it on myself.”

After breakfast, they went back onto the road.

After the afternoon had passed, Qiao Liangjin felt a little dizzy. She raised the back of her hand and touched her forehead. It seemed as if she was burning up. She grudgingly cursed a few times.

Taking advantage of everyone's rest time, Qiao Liangjin found the cold pill that she had brought for her from her bag and ate it in a few bites.

”What?” Have you caught a cold? ” Red Dust's voice came from behind her.

Qiao Liangjin quickly stuffed the medicine bottle back into her bag. She turned around and smiled. ”Hongchen, why are you suddenly so concerned about others?”

Hong Chen stared blankly for a moment and then sneered, ”I'm afraid that you will die from illness before you find me. I can't explain it.”

Qiao Liangjin rolled her eyes at the sky. The venomous tongue of the mortal world had its own style. She waved her hand and giggled, ”I won't die even if you die. Don't worry.”

Red Dust tossed over a random medicine bottle. Qiao Liangjin caught it and asked, ”What?”

Eat it. There is a village 50 miles away. When we arrive, we will stay there. We will not leave tomorrow. Hong Chen impatiently explained.

Qiao Liangjin laughed and silently cursed in her heart. In the end, she opened the bottle and took out a pill. She then placed it in her mouth.

The moment the black pill entered her mouth, it was incomparably refreshing, as if it had already turned into water and flowed down her throat and into her stomach. In that instant, Qiao Liangjin felt as if her spleen and stomach were incomparably cool.

When they arrived at the village mentioned by Red Dust, there was no one in the village. Red Dust led the horse to the tallest door in the village and entered as if he was very familiar with the place. He tied the horse in the yard and said, ”All the people here have died, but this house is quite sturdy. It hasn't collapsed in so many years.”

”So many years …” Qiao Liangjin silently repeated as she followed Hong Chen into the yard.

Red Dust's ears were sharp and he heard Qiao Liangjin's words. With a quick glance, he walked straight into the room.

Qiao Liangjin tied up her horse and followed him into the room. There were three rooms in total, with a large stove in the middle of the room. On both sides of the room were bedrooms.

Qiao Linjian Jin entered the east room and saw that the bed was a bit worn out and there was a faint musty smell coming from it.

In the middle room, Ah Bai and Ah Kuan were already cleaning the stove and preparing to light a fire.

After the fire was lit, Zi Yan said in surprise, ”So this house is a fire kang. That's great. Miss can sweat properly tonight, and you can get better soon due to the cold.”

The purple smoke collected the worn-out bedding and placed it in the middle of the room. Then, it spread the thin blanket over the already warm fire brick bed, insisting that Qiao Liangjin lay down.

As soon as Qiao Liangjin's body touched the fire brick bed, her entire body relaxed. Not long later, she fell into a deep sleep. In her dreams, she could vaguely feel someone touching her forehead while someone used a cold fingertip to feel his pulse.

She didn't know how long she slept until someone gently shook her arm. Only then did she open her eyes. She looked at the worried Zi Yan and smiled. ”I slept for a long time.”

Zi Yan nodded worriedly. She pointed outside the window and said, ”Miss, you slept for two days.”

Qiao Liangjin was surprised and hurriedly sat up. As she put on her shoes, she grumbled: ”Why didn't you wake me up? ”We were delayed for two days.”
