On the official road to Jinyang, several carriages were moving slowly. In one of the carriages, a young girl was lying quietly on a cushion, asleep.

This girl was the girl that Li Yi took from Lanxiu Village, and after Cai Yong and two officials who knew how to Qi Huang examined her again, and covered her mouth and nose with a silk cloth, Li Yi took her away.

"This little guy has slept all the way to the present......" Li Yi looked at the girl's sleeping appearance, and his tone was full of pity. Since she fell asleep before, this girl has not woken up until now, if it weren't for Cai Yong and others saying that she was just exhausted, Li Yi thought that this girl was also sick.

On the side, Cai Yan sat not far from Li Yi, looking down at the sleeping girl, her expression was full of sympathy and pity, perhaps, because this girl was about the same age as her sister Cai Qing?

Suddenly, the carriage shook, and then it stabilized again, thinking that it had hit some kind of stone or something. But such an earthquake woke the girl up.

"Hmm......" She let out a faint moan, then slowly opened her eyes, glanced left and right, and saw Li Yi and Cai Yan.

"Awake? Hungry or not? Thirsty or not? Seeing this, Li Yi asked softly, and at the same time reached out and touched the girl's forehead. Well, as a person who only understands basic medical knowledge, Li Yi's way to check if he is sick is to touch his forehead.

Li Yi could clearly feel that when his hand touched the girl's forehead, the girl's body trembled slightly, "Don't be afraid, here, no one can hurt you." Li Yi persuaded softly, still with the smile on his face that he thought was the most amiable.

Hearing this, I don't know if it's Li Yi's smile, or the reason for that sentence, or if this girl just doesn't have the strength to speak? I saw that the girl nodded slightly, but did not speak, just looked at Li Yi with her slightly red and swollen eyes.

"Brother Zikang." Cai Yan's soft voice came, and when he turned his head to look, it was Cai Yan who handed over a kettle, "These waters have been boiled." Cai Yan explained in a low voice.

"Hmm." Li Yi didn't think much about it when he heard this, and took it directly. However, when he picked it up, Li Yi's hand accidentally touched Cai Yan's little hand. However, Li Yi didn't care about this, or he didn't feel anything about touching Cai Yan's little hand.

After all, Cai Yan was just an 11-year-old girl at this time, how could touching her hand make Li Yi have any thoughts? So he took the kettle and put it to the girl's mouth, and gently fed her water.

Of course, Li Yi knows what it means to be intimate, but after living in this era for a long time, he found that this era is not at all as rumored in later generations, and men and women seem to be guarding against thieves.

Although during the Warring States Period, Mencius put forward the slogan of not giving and receiving kisses between men and women in his [Lilou Shang], but in fact, whether in the late Warring States period or the Qin Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, the so-called male and female kisses were not as strict as later.

It's like Cai Yan and Li Yi are lonely and widowed, plus a 4-year-old girl living in the same carriage now, if it is in the dynasty after the Song Dynasty, it is absolutely unimaginable.

The girl did not refuse Li Yi's behavior, she just silently let Li Yi do it, like a puppet. Looking at the girl's eyes, which should have been innocent and lively, but now they were gray and godless, Li Yi couldn't help but sigh again.

Li Yi, who was only observing the girl, didn't notice that Cai Yan behind him was lowering his head at this time, holding the hand that was touched with one hand. Her face was a little rosy, and she peeked at Li Yi's back from time to time, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

"By the way, what's your name?" Li Yi looked at the girl and asked with a smile.

Hearing this, the girl looked at Li Yi directly, and just when Li Yi thought that the girl didn't understand his words, she finally spoke, "Father and mother all call me cicada." As she spoke, her eyes flashed with sadness again.

"Cicadas? What an interesting name. Li Yi smiled when he heard this, although he didn't know which cicada it was, but Li Yi thought it was very interesting when he heard it, because he really hadn't heard anyone use the name of the cicada.

"My father said that there were many cicadas outside the house when I was born, so he called me a cicada." Cicada explained in a low voice, I don't know if I was used to it or if Li Yi's affinity had indeed reached a certain level, and Cicada no longer had the nervousness and panic that she had at the beginning. Although, her mood is still very low.

"Hehe, your father is also an interesting person, what about your surname?" Li Yi said with a smile when he heard this.

"Last name?" Cicada was stunned for a moment when she heard this, then looked at Li Yi and shook her head and said, "I don't know, my father and mother have always only called me Cicada." ”

Hearing this, Li Yi suddenly came to his senses, obviously this cicada may not understand the surname very well. But it's no wonder, after all, no one else can call her by her full name at her age. It's like when Li Yi first came to this era, he also got their surnames through the dialogue between his father and Lu Bu and their father.

Thinking of the reason, Li Yi asked again, "Then what is your father's and mother's surname?" Or what do others call your father? ”

"They all call their father Uncle Mink." Cicada thought for a moment and said.

"Mink? Cicadas? Is it the animal that mink? Li Yi couldn't hide his shock and asked.

"Hmm." Diao Chan nodded, she remembered this very clearly, because every time the people in the village laughed with their father, they would use words similar to Li Yi to see the joke. For this reason, she also specially begged her father to take her to see the real mink.

"Tsk, the poor girl who was taken away casually turned out to be the Diao Chan of the four beauties, is this the so-called protagonist aura?" Li Yi thought quite complicatedly in his heart.

But soon, Li Yi came back to his senses and briefly introduced himself and Cai Yan. "Cicada, I know you're still sad, but people can't be resurrected after death, and your parents in the spirit of heaven will definitely hope that you can live a good life." Li Yi persuaded again.

In this regard, Diao Chan just nodded, although she didn't say anything, Li Yi could already see that she accepted this reality. This made Li Yi very relieved and happy at the same time. Because, he really doesn't know how to comfort children.

A few days later, the convoy arrived in Jinyang, and after a day's stay, Li Yi and the others set off for Jiuyuan again. By the way, although Wang Yun strongly asked Cai Yong to stay in Jinyang, Cai Yong refused on the grounds that he had promised Li Yi to live temporarily in Jiuyuan.
