Chapter 1: First Sight

Next Chapter

It is late autumn, the river is calm and waveless, even the reeds on the river are too lazy to float, wilting and hanging on the bank, the cold wind blows, and the autumn is even more cold.

Jiang Li tightened the cloak on her body, and she would set off from the capital to take a boat to live in Zhuangzi in Jiangfu, Quzhou.

Quzhou is located not far from the south of the capital, and can be reached overnight by official boat. Although it is adjacent to the capital, the weather is hot and humid, and it is inevitable to suffer.

Her father was a member of the Beijing Military Department, and her mother went when she was born, and her father had a stepfamily, so he forgot about her as the daughter of his wife.

was supposed to live a comfortable life in Jiangfu, but a month ago, something bad happened, and Jiangfu drove her to a place in Quzhou that no one cared about.

A few days ago, Jiang Mansion suddenly ushered in an incredible big man. It turned out that the eldest lady of the Song Guogong Mansion came to visit, and she secretly wanted to withdraw from the marriage, and the old man of the Jiang family patted his head and remembered that there was such a baby parent.

Mrs. Guogongfu pointed out that she would go to Jiangfu to withdraw her marriage in a month, one was a first-grade military marquis, and the other was a six-grade foreigner; One in the sky and one in the ground, the news of the divorce spread from the capital, and the master of the Jiang family felt that he couldn't afford to lose that person, so he sent Jiang Li to Quzhou.

Later, Jiang Li went to Quzhou, and was dismissed after a month, and his reputation was poor. The old man of the Jiang family was even more ruthless, and married Jiang Li to the old imperial doctor, but when Jiang Li entered the door, the old imperial doctor died. Jiang Li was widowed for 30 years, and finally died of depression.

Q: How do I know what's going on?

Because Jiang Li did not fall into the cycle of life and death, she returned to her body, back to a month before her divorce, and back to when she was sent to Quzhou.

In this way, even if Jiang Li knew her fate, she still obediently left the capital and went to Quzhou, but her heart seemed to have changed a few times.

Following Jiang Li is Sun Niang, who has been in the house for many years, Sun Niang is Jiang Li's mother's maid, who has done her best to take care of Jiang Li over the years, and is one of Jiang Li's few henchmen in the Jiang family. This time, he was willing to follow Jiang Li to Quzhou, which shows his loyalty.

Sun Niang looked at Jiang Li's fair and immature face, and helped Jiang Li to the boat in distress.

In Sun Niang's opinion, Jiang Li is leaving home for the first time, this is really going to get out of the marriage, how will the young lady live in the future.

The official ship is divided into three layers, the upper two floors are the places where passengers are carried, and the bottom warehouse is for goods. Jiang Li stood on the deck of the second floor, quietly watching the ship far from the shore, far away from the capital.

Her eyes became as cold as ice, her face was painful in the autumn wind, and her face was serious and did not look like a sixteen-year-old girl.

In the capital, she will come back sooner or later.

Fortunately, her identity is that she is a lady of the official family, and she is arranged in a separate cabin, which is dark and damp, and an oil lamp is hanging and swaying with the hull.

Sun Niang saw that Jiang Li's face was not good, and she was even more distressed, so she waited for Jiang Li to sleep early. The bed and futon were wet and cold, and Jiang Li shivered and gradually fell asleep.

I don't know how long it took, Jiang Li was woken up by some movement.

She opened her eyes in a daze, the sky was dark, and outside the narrow window, there were boats floating on the river, and the boats were dotted with stars, floating up and down for some reason, like ghost fires on the river.

Look at the oil lamp by the window, with the violent swing of the ship's hull, revealing a leisurely green light.

There was another shaking, and Jiang Li realized that it was raining outside, and the rain was very strong, and even the official ship was shaking. Jiang Li clutched the quilt on her body, her eyes shining brightly in the dim light.

Just then, the door creaked open! She saw a figure standing in the doorway with rain and wind, and the dark shadow behind her was like a ghost.

Jiang Li quickly took out the knife hidden under the pillow and held it tightly in his hand.

In an instant, the man came to Jiang Li's side, and with a wave of his hand, the quilt was lifted, and Jiang Li was cold.

Jiang Li didn't even have time to scream, and a big wet hand covered her small mouth.

"Don't make a sound!"

The man crawled onto Jiang Li with heavy moisture and blood, waved his hand to extinguish the bean-sized light, and the two fell into darkness.

The man's voice was cold, and Jiang Li could feel how cold the autumn rain was, dripping rain from his body from time to time. Jiang Li couldn't stop shivering, not knowing if it was the cold rain or the fear in her own heart.

Even so, in her previous life, she was a person who had lived for a few years, and the handle of the knife in her hand turned and went straight to his throat.

The man felt the chill in his throat and was surprised that Jiang Li could fight back so accurately. The corners of his lips curled up in the darkness with interest, his big hand held Jiang Li's hand, and with a quick turn, the blade changed direction.

The man found out that Jiang Li was a woman, and his tone softened: "Don't be afraid, girl, I won't hurt your life, it's just that someone is chasing and killing outside, please save the girl." ”

Jiang Li gritted her teeth in the dark, how could someone have a knife on someone else's neck and ask someone to save her.

Jiang Li was afraid that his hand was shaking and he would lose his life, so he whispered: "I know, please put down the knife." ”

The man seemed to see Jiang Li's careful thoughts, snatched the knife from her hand, and with a slight wave, the blade of the knife was deeply inserted into the hull of the boat, and it was three points into the wood.

There was a cacophony of footsteps at the door, and with a clatter, someone kicked it open, and with torches and a noisy crowd, poked into the house.

"Search carefully, don't let him escape!"

The leader was a scarface, who surrounded the room vigilantly. When he saw Jiang Lilu's half-white little face outside, he probed vigilantly for a long time, and finally left a sentence of 'rudeness' and closed the door.

When the footsteps were far away, the man was still reluctant to get off her, Jiang Li's body was soaked in ice, and he reached out tremblingly, but he accidentally touched the man's chest, and a burst of hot and bloody paving came, Jiang Li was so frightened that he hurriedly retracted his hand.

The man was silent, as if listening to movement outside, his breathing was chaotic, and he was clearly seriously injured.

The man was surprised by Jiang Li's calmness, and through the light of the fire outside, he could see Jiang Li's pale little face clearly.

The eyes were slightly wide, reflecting a little firelight, but they were as black as grapes, with a blur of the world; The eyelashes on the eyelids fluttered slightly like a butterfly about to fly away.

It turned out to be a little girl.

Jiang Li couldn't see the man's face clearly, so he could only use some firelight, and the general outline was a young man.

"You're hurt." Jiang Li said lightly, "It's a knife wound, it's ten centimeters long, you used Guanyin to stop the bleeding." ”

The man got down from Jiang Li's body, looked down at the knife wound on his chest, and asked, "Do you know how to heal?" ”

He came in to observe Jiang Li for a long time, and in addition to being frightened, his attitude was surprisingly calm. Knowing how to defend herself, let alone not shouting or screaming when she sees his injury, this is by no means the reaction that an ordinary woman should have.

Jiang Li responded: "Yes, I can help you." But...... How can I cure you for this black light? ”

She thought to herself: When I get to Quzhou, I will go to the government to report to the official, saying that you are bullying women from good families and threatening public order, and when the time comes, I will post your portrait all over the street.

The man laughed lightly: "People outside are still looking for me, and it's inconvenient to light the lamp." The girl can judge my injury in a short time, I believe that the girl can deal with it without the light, please let the girl be wronged. ”

The man was serious, but Jiang Li felt that her little Jiujiu had been seen all over the place, so she could only take out the medicine box from under the bed.

The man was sitting on Jiang Li's bed, and there was a sound of undressing, Jiang Li was shocked: "What are you doing?" ”

The man asked, "How can you heal your wounds without taking off your clothes?" ”

Jiang Li gritted her teeth, the doctor is benevolent, she doesn't care about this kind of villain, it can be regarded as doing good deeds and accumulating virtue.

All he stripped of his underwear was there, and there was no light, so she could only discredit and treat.

The man seemed to have extremely good eyes, staring at Jiang Li. Even in the dark, she was able to remove the medicine smoothly and bandage the wound accurately.

The wound was not deep, Jiang Li quickly helped him deal with it, and he wanted to take out his exclusive gold sore medicine, thinking that this person should not be short of medicine, and was ready to put the medicine bottle back. Who knew that the man's eyes were quick to cut off, and it was a green and cool jade bottle.

He asked, "What is this?" ”
