Chapter 901 Tianji Valley

"But I don't want to be alone, sister. I'm not afraid of death. I don't want to leave." Lian Xiaozhou said, his eyes already red.

After experiencing the warmth of the human world, she has begun to fear living alone.

Seeing Lian Xiaozhou like this, Qin Yining's own nose felt sour and he almost shed tears. He hugged Lian Xiaozhou to comfort the child, patted her back and comforted her: "Don't worry, I brought you out of the mountains. You are my responsibility." , she is my sister. I always keep my word and will not leave you alone. But you know the situation between me and the prince. I am afraid of taking you back. If your identity is exposed, we will not be able to protect you. Stay with you."

Lian Xiaozhou blinked his big eyes sadly, bit his lip and said, "I know, but I still don't want to be separated from you."

She knew the dangers of Pang Xiao and Qin Yining's trip. They had a fight as sisters, and at the critical moment they went to live in peace, leaving Qin Yining alone to deal with the danger. How could she feel at ease? What she fears most is not that Qin Yining abandons her and does not come to her, but that Qin Yining will never be able to come to her again.

How could Qin Yining not understand what Lian Xiaozhou was worried about? He pulled her and persuaded her hard for a long time.

Seeing that she seemed to have made up her mind, even Xiaozhou had no choice but to nod.

Qin Yining asked Pang Xiao: "Do you have a suitable place?"

Pang Xiao thought for a while and said, "Wait a minute, I'll ask about the wood." After that, he lifted his legs and left.

Not long after, Pang Xiao and Mu Jinghu came back together.

Qin Yining said in surprise: "Is Tianji Valley nearby?"

"Yes." Mu Jinghu said, "It's not far from here."

Qin Yining frowned and said, "But I heard from Boss Qiu that your Tianjimen is very poor. You live in thatched huts, sleep on haystacks, and even the bowls you use to eat are made of wood."

Mu Jinghu blushed for a while, coughed and said, "That's something I can't bear to use, and it's not as exaggerated as Shanshan said."

Seeing Mu Jinghu like this, Pang Xiao couldn't help but laugh and said: "He is the stingiest one among their sects. Tianjizi is a master of making money. The generations of Tianji sect owners are all strange people. There are treasures at the bottom of the box." . It’s not like we can’t live a good life in Tianji Valley.”

After looking at Lian Xiaozhou, Pang Xiao added: "It's just that Tianji Valley is someone else's territory. At the beginning, I couldn't arrange for the whole family to go there, so as not to disturb the peace of Tianji Valley. But Xiaozhou is just a little girl, I Arrange two more guards to protect her, there are only three people in total, so Mu Mu can still make arrangements."

Mu Jinghu nodded and said: "Yes, the three of us can definitely live in a spacious place. The house and land are all ready-made. We can be self-sufficient by then. It is also convenient to go out and buy things. However, there are some special formations that need to be understood in order to get in and out. , this is also easy, I told them.”

Qin Yining asked curiously: "Does the art of Qimen Dunjia really exist in this world? In your Tianji Valley, ordinary people can't get in even if they go outside?"

Mu Jinghu nodded, "Yes, but I don't know how to do it."

Qin Yining nodded and asked, "Will the machine work that day?"

"My uncle, I have been learning the art of Kanyu for a long time, but the most powerful ones are fortune-telling and divination. I actually wanted to learn the art of Qimen Dunjia back then, but my master said that I had a wooden brain and could not be used for much purpose. He taught me martial arts and medical skills. He also said that if I accept another apprentice in the future, I will teach him the art of Qimen Dunjia."

Qin Yining smiled and said: "I know that your master originally took you under Tianjizi's sect and let him teach you martial arts on his behalf.

In order for you to protect Tianjizi, but Tianjizi was too lazy to take on a disciple, so he pushed you to your junior brother who had not yet appeared, and only asked you to call her uncle. "

Mu Jinghu smiled sheepishly, nodded and said, "That's what happened."

"Since Tianjizi is good at calculations, it is more certain that she will have a younger junior brother in the future." Qin Yining said with a smile, "Maybe your real master is already learning the art of Qimen Dunjia."

Mu Jinghu was stunned when he heard this, then after thinking about it, he grinned: "Maybe that's the case."

Pang Xiao smiled and said: "Okay, our topic has gone too far. What do you think of placing Xiaozhou in Tianji Valley for the time being?"

Qin Yining thought for a moment and said, "I think it's good." He looked at Lian Xiaozhou inquiringly, "What do you think?"

Lian Xiaozhou was naturally reluctant to let go, but when she thought about it carefully, she also knew that Qin Yining was doing it for her own good. Although she was worried about her future life, she could only accept it.

Qin Yining said: "You arrange two guards with reliable character to protect her. In addition, I also want to buy two girls to serve Xiaozhou. It is inconvenient for a girl to have only two grown men around her. I'd better buy two girls. , at least I have someone to talk to."

"That's fine. Wood, what do you think?"

Mu Jinghu smiled and said, "It's okay. A few more people will make it possible for there to be empty houses in the valley. But I won't tell outsiders how to get in and out of Tianji Valley."

"It's natural. You only need to tell three of them. The rest don't need to learn. If there is something that needs to be contacted, you can send a message if you are here."

Mu Jinghu naturally nodded in agreement.

Having made the decision, the group naturally settled down temporarily in Liangcheng. Qin Yining was recovering from his illness on the one hand, but the more important thing was to prepare for life after entering the valley.

Bingtang and Jiyun naturally knew that Lian Xiaozhou was leaving immediately. Although they were reluctant to let her go, they also knew that the princess was willing to let Lian Xiaozhou go because it was better to leave than to stay by her side.

Bingtang regarded Lian Xiaozhou as her younger sister. She was sad but could not stop her. He could only prepare a lot of pills and powders for her, and also gave her his daily diary of medical treatment and prescription.

"You can read it when you are bored after you go. Don't forget what I taught you."

Lian Xiaozhou's eyes were swollen like walnuts from crying. He nodded twitchingly and put the note close to his body.

Qin Yining personally saw the two little girls he bought from Zhiyun and was sure that they were both from innocent poor families. They had many children in the family and they could no longer survive, so he sold them.

The older one is ten years old this year, his name is Pandi, and he has a very cheerful temperament. The younger one is eight years old this year. He has a timid temperament and is extremely honest. He doesn't even have a name. His family calls him "Hey", "Hey" and "Damn girl".

Qin Yining smiled and said: "Xiao Zhou, come and give them a name. From now on, they will be your maids."

Lian Xiaozhou thought for a moment and said, "Let me call you Ophiopogon japonicus." Then he looked at the timid eight-year-old girl and said with a smile, "Call me Banxia."

"Are they all medicinal materials?"

"Yes." Lian Xiaozhou smiled, "These are the names of the medicinal materials that sister Bingtang told me. They are nice to hear and easy to remember."

Qin Yining smiled, "Our little porridge's naming skills are much better than at the beginning."

Lian Xiaozhou couldn't help but feel funny and sad when she thought about the porridge she insisted on calling lotus seed porridge.

Qin Yining patted the back of Lian Xiaozhou's hand and said comfortingly: "With Ophiopogon japonicus and Pinellia ternata accompanying you, I can rest assured that I will find you as soon as possible. Just live a good life and we will be reunited one day. "

Lian Xiaozhou nodded.

Qin Yining looked at Maidong and Banxia again, "You serve Miss Lian so well and treat her as your master. You will benefit a lot in the future. But your Miss Lian is good-tempered, but I am not a good person." You are a soft persimmon, if you let me know that you are disrespectful to her, or betray her..."

"We don't dare, we don't dare!" Maidong and Banxia were so frightened that they knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly.

They didn't know who Qin Yining was, but they just thought that this lady was born like a fairy and was so majestic, so she must be the wife of a wealthy family. They had heard how wealthy families deal with disobedient servants. How could they dare to have second thoughts after being frightened like this?

Qin Yining turned white, so naturally he gave Lian Xiaozhou the opportunity to turn red.

Even Xiao Zhou understood in his heart and called the two girls.

When Qin Yining's cold weather improved, Mu Jinghu took Lian Xiaozhou and his entourage and quietly left the inn under the cover of night.

Qin Yining did not go to see her off. Even before Xiao Zhou left, he just came to Qin Yining and quietly held her hand and sat for a while.

They didn't say goodbye.

But one of the people who had been by his side passed away again, and Qin Yining felt empty in her heart.

Even Bingtang and Jiyun were a little depressed.

It wasn't until Mu Jinghu came back two days later and said in detail that everything was fine in the valley that Qin Yining had to let go of the matter completely.

The group once again braved the wind and snow and embarked on the journey back to Beijing.

I don’t know what happened this year, but there weren’t even a few sunny days along the way. And the closer we get to the north, the more wind and snow blow, and the journey is delayed a lot. On New Year's Eve, it is exactly as Qin Yining said. He did not make it to Maocheng at all, but stayed in a house with only seven or eight households. I lived in the earth temple at the end of the small village.

Everyone lived in the temple, with heavy snow falling outside, listening to the howling wind, and several fires lit in the temple. Qin Yining and Pang Xiao were wrapped in a fur, drinking the strongest roast knife to keep warm, and listening to their peers. The men told interesting stories about their past days in the Huben Army. Although they were a bit crude, the new year was also very interesting.

The team had gone through the cold winter and arrived at Daxing, which was still two or three days away from the capital. It was already the twentieth day of the first lunar month in the eighth year of prosperity.

Pang Xiao has his own farm in Daxing, so he naturally takes his people to the farm to stay for a few days, rest and think about what to do next.

In the main room of the main courtyard of the farm, a big kang was burning hot by the window. On the kang was a square table with tea bowls, melon seeds, peanuts and candies and dried fruits.

A group of people sat in a circle around the square table, not caring about the elders and younger people gathering together to talk.

Qin Yining sat next to Pang Xiao, peeling melon seeds in his hand, and said with a smile: "Is it okay if we talk here?"

"It's okay, don't worry, I've arranged someone outside."

"That's good." Qin Yining put the melon seeds aside, picked up another one and continued to peel it, "Actually, I have come up with an idea these days, and I will tell you now and ask Mr. Xie and Mr. Xu to help me."

Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi smiled and said: "I don't dare to be a counselor. The princess is resourceful and I already admire her very much. Just say what you say."
