A girl who is a criminal in the medical profession has a good fortune, and aristocratic families are

"The Lotus Festival will be in three days. Why don't we stay in Xinzi County for three days before leaving?"

Yunling acted coquettishly towards Wu: "Grandma, I've been on the road these past few days and I haven't even had a good bath. Do you smell how stinky I am?"

The day was getting hotter and hotter. The whole family was on the road during the day. At night they either stayed in a temple or slept in the wilderness. They could only fetch a few buckets of water every day to wash themselves off, and their bodies were really sticky.

"Okay, okay, then let's stay in the hotel for a few days to relax and unwind. Riding in a carriage every day will make my old bones shake." Mrs. Wu agreed with a smile on her face.

Although Mr. Tang knew that he didn't have much money and would have little left after staying at the hotel, he still agreed.

Everyone in the Tang family went to the Nanfeng Inn recommended by Liu Sanniang. It was not in the center of Xinzi County, but in a slightly remote place in the south. However, the inside of the hotel was really clean. Even the railing handles in the corridor were spotless.

There is a small river on the south side, and the clear lake water is swaying with weeping willows on both sides. The whole inn looks very quiet and rustic.

The waiter in the store had big white teeth and said with a smile on his face: "Guests, don't worry, your carriage and mule carriage will be taken care of by our store when you stay at the hotel. However, you must take your valuables with you and don't miss them in the carriage.

The prices in our store are the most reasonable in the county. The rooms are all about the same size. One night for those facing the street costs 200 yuan, while those facing the water cost 250 yuan. How many rooms do you want? "

Mr. Tang said without hesitation: "I need two rooms, one facing the water and one facing the street..."

He thought that if the female family members stayed in the room facing the water, it would not be too stuffy at night.

Yunling disagreed.

Although a room is not limited to two or three people, or even five or eight people, the bed has a fixed size. If there are more people crowded together, it will not be good at all. Someone has to make a bunk on the floor to make do.

Her idea is very simple, either she can live a hard life without living in a hotel, or she can simply enjoy herself. It will be uncomfortable if she is neither good nor bad.

"Grandpa, I want three rooms. Lao Qi has a hard time driving, and you also need more rest. You two live in one room, and you can take advantage of these few days to have a good rest."

She then said to Mrs. Cao: "It's hard work for my aunt to drive the mule cart and take care of my uncle at the same time. She should take advantage of these few days to rest."

Mr. Cao's eyes turned red.

In the end, this niece still felt sorry for her, unlike Tang Yuanzhi, who always disliked her for not being able to catch her up well, and scolded her in various ways when she helped him.

In just a few days, the Tang family unconsciously began to obey Qi Yunling's arrangements. Seeing her insistence, Mr. Tang nodded in agreement, "Okay, we need two rooms facing the street and one facing the water. You can stay with grandma." Live there.”

After paying for three days of accommodation, Yunling only had two taels of silver and thirty-three coppers left in her hand.

But she didn't panic at all. After making arrangements for the Tang family, she dragged Lao Qi to cut down the wood on the mountain road outside.

The only part of Tongtuo wood that can be used to make Tongtuo flowers is the inner white core, but the outer ring of bark is useless.

"Miss, why bother? Let's just burn the bark."

Lao Qi looked at Yunling speechlessly.

He strenuously tied the bark into bundles and threw them everywhere in tall grass, as if he were a thief, just to prevent others from discovering the bark.

When asked why he bothered to go to such trouble, "If you burn it, there won't be any trace left."

Yunling's face turned pale when she heard this, "Old Qi, this is not possible. If there is a fire, we will go to jail."

Set fire to the mountain and sit on the bottom of the prison.

This is a famous teaching engraved in her bones.

Lighting a fire in the deep mountains and old forests, in her eyes, means going to jail.

However, it was really troublesome to throw it around. She thought about it and directed Lao Qi to "draw the ground as a prison" on the ground.

Lao Qi followed her instructions and cut out a three-foot-square space bit by bit, cut off the vines connected to the surrounding area, dug a slight arc of the pit, and set up four fire prevention trenches.

Only then did Yunling agree to light a fire to burn the tree bark.

In the dancing firelight, Lao Qi looked at Yunling with more and more probing eyes.

"Miss, how did you know this method?"

"It's on the phone...it's in the book." Yunling almost let it slip.

Lao Qi didn't believe it, "What book? Why haven't I heard the old man mention it?"

The fire prevention method dictated by the eldest lady should only be known by hunters or woodcutter who have lived in the mountains for many years, or it is the life experience summed up by some people with special status. This is what a young thirteen-year-old lady can think of.

Yunling sighed.

Hey, the man in this family, Tang Yuanzhi, is easy to deceive. The old man and Lao Qi really have to reveal their secrets if they are not careful.

Let me lie first, "Sister Qingdai learned it from the idle books she bought at the grocery stall."

Shifting the blame, "Old Qi, my grandfather knows how to read medical books all day long. He will definitely not read those casual books. Of course he doesn't know."

Shifting attention, "My grandfather probably wouldn't let me read those books I read. But there are many stories in the books. Do you want to hear them? I remember a story about the seven fairies. It was said that there was a very old man in the past. They didn't even get married, but one day they suddenly met a fairy in the deep mountains and old forests, and they..."

Lao Qi, who is a lot older and has never been married: "..."

I thank you.

Knowing that she must have read some shady reading book from outside, Lao Qi stopped asking further and just thought that he would have to remind the old man in the future to carefully screen the books given to the eldest lady.

Looking at everything will only harm the eldest lady.

The two of them cut down almost all the Tongtuo trees around them, burned the bark on the spot, doused the ashes with water, and finally buried them in the soil.

After repeatedly confirming that there would be no forest fire, Yunling and Lao Qi stood up and walked towards the carriage.

As night fell, the sound of footsteps gradually faded away. On top of the big tree that Yunling and Lao Qi had not noticed, a black figure lay leaning on the green canopy.

The person who is gradually losing consciousness is increasingly unable to grasp the branches in his hands, like a big shaky moth.

If my ears are right, the person who just told the story in the mountains must be that dead girl.

He originally wanted to call for help, but after hearing the cheerful laughter, he suddenly changed his mind.

He didn't know if the pursuers behind him were still there, and he didn't know if his secret guards were dead or alive. Why should he drag the Tang family into the water again?

No matter what, everyone has his own destiny, whether he lives or dies depends on God's will.

He, Zhou Qiong, will never ask for help in his life.

In a daze, he felt like he had fallen from the tree trunk.

And I seemed to hear someone whispering in my ear: "You are not wearing red clothes, are you going to be a thief?"
