In late March, the grass grows and the warbler flies, rows of seedlings have been planted on the terraces in the village of Octagon, and the birds and finches on the trees on the side of the mountain keep calling in the branches.

Bursts of smoke rose from the thatched hut not far away, and bursts of fragrance poured out.

Qi Yunshu, who had been in a coma for two days, snorted softly and came to her senses, glanced at the room, the earthen thatched house, and made sure that she was back in Octagon Village, and saw that there was no one in the house, only two packets of medicine were placed in front of the bed, and the room was filled with a smell of medicine, and she covered her head from the room with the pain caused by the sequelae of the coma.

As soon as she arrived in the courtyard, she smelled the fragrance emanating from the stove, she covered her lips and coughed lightly, and saw the open fire jumping and spinning between the stoves, the iron pot on the stove emitting the fragrance of white rice, and a thin and short figure was busy working in the stove.

Qi Yunshu leaned against the door frame and looked up, the sunlight leaked obliquely through the cracks in the leaves and sprinkled on her, with the warmth of early summer.

She recalled her argument in court three days ago, and the verdict that Liu had to give under pressure.

She's innocent!

She tightened her fingers, the corners of her lips rising slightly.

Only those who have lost the sun will know that even being able to get sunlight has become so precious!

Before the peaceful and beautiful moment was enjoyed, a sharp scolding voice suddenly sounded outside the door: "Dog day...... Where did the thief come from, she stole the head of my house! ”

"Thief mother-in-law, thief mother-in-law...... Today you have eaten the head of my house, and tomorrow you will go up to the heavens and climb the mountain......"

"Dog~ day, you dare to steal, you dare not come out to confess ......"

The curse continued, breaking the small courtyard separated by a bamboo fence.

Qi Yunshu opened the door with doubts.

At the door, a woman in a gray cloth shirt was spitting and cursing at the rickety wooden door.

Hearing her going out, Zhao Sanniang, who was busy in the stove, hurriedly caught up and stopped in front of her, and persuaded anxiously: "Yun Niang, come in and ignore her!" ”

The gray cloth woman threw her head up and shouted proudly: "Ha, shameless scumbag, thief leader, I have finally been scolded by me, pay for my head quickly, otherwise I will give you a good look!" ”

Zhao Sanniang said authentically: "You are talking nonsense, we have never caught your chicken!" ”

Her voice was as small as the cry of a newborn sheep, and if Qi Yunshu hadn't been close, she probably wouldn't have heard it.

Originally, it seemed that it was two people, and the gray cloth woman was still a little stunned, but when she looked closely, one or two of them were thin, and one of them was still so bold, she suddenly crossed her waist more fiercely, raised her neck and scolded angrily, and the meaning of the words was to scold Qi Yunshu for being a thief and stealing her things.

In the midst of her filthy insults, Qi Yunshu finally figured out what was going on!

It turned out that because she was wrongfully accused of stealing a silver ticket and entering the county jail two days ago, it was spread that Zhao Qianshi, who lost the chicken yesterday afternoon, suspected that she had stolen the chicken she lost, so he ran to their door to scold the street.

Qi Yunshu pursed her lips tightly, and gently pulled away Zhao Sanniang, who was obviously afraid of death but had to stand in front of her: "Third sister, don't stop me, I want to reason with her, there is no reason to bear the charge for what we didn't do." ”

"Your chickens were lost yesterday afternoon, right?"

Zhao Qian rolled his eyes: "You stole it yourself, do you still ask me?" ”

Qi Yunshu frowned and told her about the fact that she had been in a coma for two days after being acquitted in the county hall, trying to make her understand that she was an unconscious person who could not steal her chickens.

But Zhao Qian's didn't think so, he thought that she stole it, no matter how she explained it, it was useless, anyway, he was bent on twisting her and had to make her pay!

"You talk nonsense, I didn't steal your chicken!" Qi Yunshu helplessly spread her hands and denied it again, can this person still be reasonable?

"Oh, where in this world is there a thief woman who admits that she is a thief, and you can't say it if you steal it! But now who in our village doesn't know that you are stealing the silver ticket of Liuyuan's house in the town, oops, hundreds of taels, a thief a day, a thief stealing a life! ”

Qi Yunshu's chest rose and fell with anger, and for a while, no matter how neat her mouth was, she didn't know how to share it with her.

Zhao Sanniang saw that Qi Yunshu was very angry, worried that her injuries were not complete, so she hurriedly rushed to her in front of her and stopped her and shouted: "Aunt Qian, you are talking nonsense, my brother and sister didn't steal, and the county master returned my brother and sister on the spot!" ”

Zhao Qian's dark and thin face plummeted, and his voice overflowed with sarcasm: "Yo, it's just that you have a good appearance and hooked the soul of the county master, who knows if you have a leg behind the county master......"

"Shut up!" The more she said this, the more unpleasant it became, and Qi Yunshu was so angry that she stretched out her hand to push her.

This Zhao Qian's family, who is unreasonable in scolding street quarrels, is well-known in the village, and this mouth with a knife almost scolded her younger siblings to hang herself, but fortunately she was seen and saved in time.

"Ouch, did I say that you dare to hit me when you have a sore foot...... Come and fight, come and hit me! Zhao Qian was like a scoundrel with a black pockmarked face dangling in front of Qi Yunshu, which made people upset.

Qi Yunshu was so troubled by her that she really wanted to slap her and slap her to death.

But as soon as he raised his hand, the cry that had been arrogant and sharp suddenly disappeared, and turned into fear: "Ah...... You...... What are you going to do, you sick seedling...... Yes...... It's scary, it's scary......"

As the voice became quieter and quieter, Qi Yunshu looked up and saw that Zhao Qian's had slipped away like the wind.

In the blink of an eye, she saw Zhao Jing's figure, he was slowly approaching her, and in the blur, she seemed to see the cold aura on Zhao Jing's body that had not had time to hide.

But when she looked closely, she found that Zhao Jing had become the gentle scholar again, and her handsome face looked at her gently with a smile as if nothing had happened: "You're awake!" ”

"Hmm!" Qi Yunshu subconsciously filtered the strange appearance he had just now, looked at the medicine bag he was carrying in his hand, thinking that he was probably going to the town to get the medicine for her, thinking that he could get a few taels of silver for ordering the medicine, and immediately felt distressed:

"I'm fine, why bother taking medicine with that silver!"

She wanted to say that although she escaped death this time, but she didn't know which one hundred taels of silver she had earned with great difficulty, and now there must be no way to get it back.

"Your injuries are not yet healed, of course you need to take medicine!" Zhao Jingxiao smiled and stretched out his hand to help her into the house to lie down, and carefully tucked the quilt for her, and comforted her gently: "You just woke up, your head is probably a little dizzy, lie down for a while!" ”

Qi Yunshu was lying on the bed, looking left and right with her big round eyes open.

She's been lying down for two whole days, and where can she still sleep?

Zhao Jingyuan wanted to lull her to sleep and go out to boil medicine for her, but seeing that she didn't feel sleepy at all, he held her fingers and rubbed them carefully: "What's the matter?" Is there something uncomfortable? ”

Qi Yunshu shook her head, hesitated for a moment, plucked up her courage and said, "Zhao Jing, how did you do in the exam?" ”

Zhao Jing saw that there was something serious on her face, but when he heard her ask, he couldn't help but be a little funny, seeing that she was like this, and he was still concerned about her grades, he asked with a warm heart: "How do you want me to do in the exam?" ”

Qi Yunshu was dissatisfied with his betrayal and pouted: "Of course I hope you will be admitted!" "Only when they are admitted to Xiucai can they have the qualifications to take the township examination and get one step closer to their dreams!

Qi Yunshu quietly pondered in her heart, but she didn't know that she was lying on her back on the bed, and a beam of light lit up her face through the mud.

In Zhao Jing's opinion, this is a pretty girl with fair skin, clear eyes, a high nose bridge, and delicate lips.

The eyes seemed to be squinting and squinting, the long eyelashes flickered, and the whole thing looked like a freshly ripe water, honey, and peach, which made people want to take a bite.

Zhao Jing's throat tightened, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, slowly bent down and approached her earlobe and said, "Well, I will be admitted!" ”

Qi Yunshu couldn't help but feel a little nervous when she was suppressed by the man's breath that suddenly became thick between her noses, but the fact that she had been scolded before made her make up her mind and said what she had been thinking about for a long time.

"If you are admitted to Xiucai and become a showman, can you go directly to the county school?"

"Not necessarily, if you have passed the college examination, you can go to Beijing to take the Guozijian exam to become a supervisor, and you can also refer to the county school and wait for the annual exam in the second half of the year!"

"Either way, can we get out of here?" She doesn't want to stay here anymore!

It's okay if the conditions of the thatched house are not good, the key is that the people here, whether it is the Xu family, the Zhao Qian family, who scolded the street so much before, and even the original owner's mother's family......

Their harshness and calculation made her suffocating!

Zhao Jing was stunned for a moment, leave here? But can he really get out of here?

Those people have done so much, but they want to keep him, in this poor country, so that he will never have a chance to leave!

But thinking of the grievances Yun Niang received today when he was away, his heart tightened.

If he goes to study in the county and can't go home for ten days and half a month, what should the lady and the third sister do?

"Zhao Jing?" Qi Yunshu saw that he hadn't spoken for a long time, and raised her eyes uneasily.

The clear eyes showed worry and doubt.

She could see that Zhao Jing didn't like this place at all, and even had a hint of disgust, she thought he wanted to leave here, but she didn't expect him to hesitate for so long.

Just when she thought he wouldn't agree, she suddenly heard Zhao Jing promise seriously: "Okay, I'll find a way to take you out of here!" "After more than 20 years, after enduring it for so long, maybe it's time for him to make some plans for himself!

With Zhao Jing's promise, Qi Yunshu's mood was much better, and in this way, the physical injuries were nothing, and he was healed in just five days.

Since chatting with Zhao Jing, she has a plan in her heart and is very active in planning for her future.

First went to Yunfu, thinking that this time she could escape from death, one was thanks to Zhao Jing's best efforts to save her, and the other was that Zhao Jing said that it was also pushed by Mrs. Yun, so that Yun Rugui came forward to put pressure on Liu Xianling, so as soon as she was good, she thought about thanking her.

But when the person was still at the door, she ran into the third lady's maid Huan Huan'er, and she told Qi Yunshu that the old lady had gone to the Liuyun Temple in Liuyun Mountain for the past two days, and she would not return to the house for a few days to worship the Buddha there for the time being.

And today, the third lady wants to entertain guests, including her good friend Miss Huang, who asked her if she wanted to go in together.

As soon as Qi Yunshu heard that there was Huang Yuying, she hurriedly said that she had something to do and went back first, but sometimes it was so unfortunate, the more some people didn't want to see it, the more they had to run into it!

Before she could turn her head, she was called by a clear voice: "Yo, Sister Liu, isn't this the female thief who stole your aunt's silver ticket?" ”
