Chapter 005: Framing!

In the cold wind, a large red pair of shorts is flying and flying

When enemies meet, their eyes are particularly fierce. The heavily pregnant Fan's gaze was filled with resentment and malice. However, due to the presence of the clan leader and the "imperial decree," she refrained from erupting on the spot

Looking back at her pale face and dark purple lips, Lan was foolishly sniffing and sobbing

In early summer, Qi coughed and patted his back

The fool was making his way home when he spotted the couple, Scholar Lan and his wife, observing under the locust tree

It took Xia Chuqii a great deal of effort to express it clearly

Lan Dazhu hung his head low, grumbling, "I am not a fool!"

Ah, if you are not foolish, then who is? Have you found a doctor? Do you have the money to pay for treatment?

No! In a few days, you will be my wife, and I do not want you to die

"Summer grass, you little wretched seducer, I have come to see you off..."

Do you find that little vixen pleasing to the eye? Are you thinking of taking her back?

Lan Zi'an suddenly realized her loss of composure, suppressing the strange and chaotic thoughts, and embraced Fan's waist

"Grass, do not be afraid! The prince has won a great victory, you are safe now..." A warm hand touched her cold face, as she sobbed and tears fell continuously.

Grass, I am here

In the past three days, thanks to the blessings of Lord Nineteen, her life has been relatively calm. Although her understated "thank you" on that day naturally pointed the finger at Scholar Lan, the gossip in the village increased, yet no one came to seek trouble with her. The entire village, or rather the whole Qinggang County, was drawn away by another major event.

In her previous life, she lived as an orphan for a lifetime. Not long before her transition, she was finally found by her relatives and inherited the family’s traditional medical text, the "Golden Seal Medical Classic." Having endured many hardships and undergone training in a special forces unit, her heart had long been tempered to be harder than steel. Who would have thought that she would be moved by this fool

You fool, do you still wish to marry a wife

Laozi ... ...

He always says this, but no one believes him. Xia Chuqii was just teasing him a moment ago; seeing his aggrieved expression with his head hanging low, she couldn't help but laugh

Grass!

As soon as I opened my eyes, a pair of resentful and venomous little eyes was right in front of me

In Qinggang County, before Lan Zian became the son-in-law of the county magistrate, he was already a highly sought-after figure. He was hailed as a prodigy from a young age, well-versed in classical texts, legal principles, and poetry. He ranked among the top in the Tongsheng examination in Jincheng Prefecture, excelling in scholarship, and was also handsome. His demeanor was refined and courteous, and the villagers all said that once the autumn examination in August next year was over, with his father-in-law's support, it would be a small matter for him to pass the imperial examination. He was sure to eventually become the top scholar in the Golden Luan Hall of the capital.

The sound of this person's weeping was like that of a child who had lost their mother, causing Xia Chuqii to helplessly open her eyes. The man before her was tall and robust, with a very long stature, dark skin, and features that could be described as quite handsome. Unfortunately, his foolish and dazed appearance clearly indicated that he had some intellectual issues.

Grass, have I made you angry? You must be calling me a fool, but I am not upset! Go ahead and scold me!

Fan took two steps, staring at the backs of Lan Da's fool and Xia Chuqi, his eyes filled with resentment

Xia Chuqii remained silent, gazing at him for a long time before finally letting out a sigh

On the seventh day of summer, Xia Chuqi was still unaware of the news that "Nineteen Master has won a victory, and the current emperor has granted a general amnesty." Listening to the villagers' animated discussions and the chaotic sounds of footsteps, she kept her eyes closed, lazily lying on the ground, contemplating how she could escape from this situation given her current physical condition in front of so many people

The prince has won the battle, is she all right now

The fool from Lanzhou crawled there, took off the only tattered coat on his body to wrap around her, and sobbed even more intensely with his bare shoulders.

However, regardless of the reason, it is good to be able to take a breath and rest

Madam, what are you saying? It is truly unnecessary for us to hold her accountable for her behavior. From now on, you need not trouble yourself with her any further

It's quite challenging

The thought of returning was abruptly cut off after several attempts

The dynasty she belongs to, the Dayan Dynasty, is very similar in its administrative divisions and national structure to the Ming Dynasty. This village is called Liunian Village, which is under the jurisdiction of Qinggang County in Jincheng Prefecture, located approximately thirty miles from the county seat. However, apart from some basic knowledge, with the limited intellect of a fool, it is impossible to extract more valuable information.

Oh, Cao'er, do not die, I will take you to find a doctor right away

Regarding the indirect assistance received from the Nineteenth Master, Xia Chuqii felt not a single cent of gratitude

Thank you

Shut up! Why are you crying, big man? Go home.

The fool turned back to glance at her, "I can plead with him, kneel down and beg, and keep bowing to him; he will surely show great mercy."

Perhaps it was because the original owner of this body was too weak, or perhaps it was due to the complete relaxation of the nerves that had been tightly wound by the instinct for survival; she let out a soft sound and then weakly slumped against the reed stalk, losing all her spirit.

As the fool roughly understood and went out in search of medicine, she sincerely felt: living with a fool is truly exhausting

Upon entering the village, the crowd, having failed to "search for the corpse," dispersed. The village is backed by Cangying Mountain and consists of over one hundred households. Aside from the residence of Scholar Lan and the clan leader, which feature high walls and courtyards made of blue bricks and tiles, the other houses are low and dilapidated. Together with the neatly arranged fields and vegetable plots outside the village, the scene presents a vivid picture of ancient rural life that captivated Xia Chiqi's attention.

Fool! From now on, apart from myself, I will not allow anyone else to call you a fool.

Once the words were spoken, she tilted her head and leaned on the fool, remaining silent thereafter. The villagers seemed to have discerned something from this statement, while only Lan Zi'an remained oblivious, pondering that Xia Cao's smile was quite beautiful, his gaze involuntarily deepening a little.

But the only person who truly treats her well is this fool

It is reported that His Royal Highness, the Prince of Jin, has already arrived in Lingxuan County and will soon pass through Qinggang. The entire county is in a state of excitement. The county magistrate has summoned the village heads, stating that it is to welcome His Highness. Along the route of Qinggang, yellow sand is to be laid for the road, and drainage systems and bridges are to be constructed

Be good! She is accustomed to treating him like a child. Remember, first go to the ridge by the well at the east end of the village to pick some white flower snake tongue grass, then head to the wetland by the river at the west end of the village to gather a handful of fishy grass. After you return, find a few pieces of dried tangerine peel that Aunt San uses for cooking by the stove in the kitchen

Once again, she fell into a deep sleep

In the village, there was no doctor, so he insisted on carrying Xia Chuqii and heading to Qinggang County, which was thirty miles away.

The fool treats her exceptionally well; apart from being foolish, he truly has no other faults. A year ago, when he began to pick summer grass from the foot of Cangying Mountain, the two of them started living in these few dilapidated and drafty thatched huts. Along with the two of them, there is also his third aunt, who has taken care of him since he was little.

The gentleman speaks very rightly

On the seventh day of early summer, she took a careful look at that scholar Lan several times.

She is now more concerned about her own well-being. Perhaps the old saying holds true, that a physician cannot heal themselves. Ever since that day she fell into the river and caught a chill by the riverbank, her already frail body has not only failed to fully recover but has also worsened her cough significantly

Xia Chuqii found herself in a state of both laughter and tears

The villagers found Xia Chuqii and were quite curious as to why she had run from the pigpen into the reeds. She stammered that she had been rescued by a master. With the Fan family no longer present, the villagers searching for her did not delve deeper into the matter. Instead, they walked back to the village in small groups, each expressing their thoughts, creating quite a lively atmosphere along the way

Regardless of the circumstances, without money, it is of no use even if one kneels until their knees break

No one knows a husband better than his wife, and Fan immediately sensed it, sharpening her teeth even more

From the mouths of the fool and the villagers, she probably gathered some information

In any case, wherever she goes as a solitary child of the Xia family, she sings whatever song fits the mountain she arrives at, and the yellow earth of any place nurtures people. Since youth is still present, not only does she have the opportunity to realize her aspiration of finding a good husband from a past life, but she can also experience an alternative feudal dynasty's new rural life, which is not considered a great loss.

Fool, I have no strength left, could you go help me gather some herbs?" Xia Chuqii's voice was almost hoarse from coughing

In fact, this Lan Zi'an will indeed achieve great success in the future, becoming a prominent scholar, and his fate is deeply intertwined with that of Xia Chuqii. However, that is a matter for later; at this moment, Xia Chuqii finds him exceedingly displeasing.

The fool from Lanzhou did not walk the same path as others

In her dreams, she is still standing by the Qingling River, feeling the cold wind blowing.

scumbag

If the fool from Lanzhou University has logical flaws, Xia Chuqii has not figured it out

The fool hung his head low, watching her nod repeatedly.

Fool, there is no need to go to the city. Later, you can just take me to gather some herbs

Xia Chuqii has been in Liunian Village for three days now

In early summer, Qi's heart ached intensely.

"Big fool..." she shouted weakly

The fool looked at her in confusion, feeling somewhat at a loss.

Suddenly, a pair of hands resembling chicken claws grasped her neck, the suffocating pain so real that it jolted her awake from the dream

She exclaimed, noticing that many villagers nearby were watching and whispering. Suddenly, an idea struck her, and she turned back to glance at the strange smile of the scholar Lan, thinking to herself, "Xia Cao, since I have used your body, I will make sure to reclaim everything for you." She then raised her voice.
