MTL - After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields-Chapter 555 songshan inkstone
Chapter 555 Songshan Inkstone
The broken carriage was tied together with the dead horses. The carriage rolled over and the husband fell into the ditch from the window and was crushed under the carriage.
Fortunately, the ditch was just wide and deep enough to accommodate one person, otherwise the carriage would have been smashed down, and the husband would have been as cold as the driver.
Qin Yao didn't waste any time. She pulled out the dagger she carried with her, cut off the reins between the carriage and the horse, propped up the walls of the carriage with her arms, and lifted the entire heavy carriage.
A figure was exposed in front of the two of them, gasping for air. Liu Qi quickly got under and took his wife out.
The husband's blue-gray jacket was in disrepair, his hair was scattered, his crown had already flown to nowhere, and his exposed skin was covered with tiny scratches. It didn't look very good.
Qin Yao let go of his hand, and the carriage fell with a bang, falling into pieces.
“Master, are you okay?” Liu Qi asked with concern.
The person in his arms was just panting heavily, looking like he was overly frightened.
Qin Yao frowned slightly, squatted down in front of the two of them, stretched out her hand to push away the messy hair in front of the master, wanting to see how he was doing.
Unexpectedly, the expected wrinkled old face did not appear. Under the messy hair, there was actually a young face, looking to be twenty-six or seven years old at most.
Liu Qi was startled, "Master Ding is a young junior?"
“He is not Mr. Ding!” Qin Yao said firmly.
His eyes turned cold, and he stared into the man's focused eyes and asked, "Who are you?"
However, the man closed his eyes and tilted his head, and before he could answer them, he fell into a deep sleep.
Had Liu Qi not been present, Qin Yao would have pinched him awake on the spot and questioned him to the end.
Liu Zhong, Liu Yang and others finally arrived. Qin Yao looked up and seemed to see Liu Ji's figure.
“Madam, are you okay?”
The familiar head poked out, and Qin Yao's thoughts turned out to be true.
Seeing Qin Yao below who looked like a normal person, Liu Ji was furious with himself. What could happen to her? She was highly skilled in martial arts and had strange powers. If anything happened, it would be someone else's fault.
But he couldn't control his legs and ran over with the villagers. Halfway through, he suddenly woke up and realized that it was someone else who overturned the car, not Qin Yao.
But since you are here, just watch the fun.
Look at this, good guy, he is both a dead horse and a dead man. It seems that dinner tonight will not be enjoyable.
Qin Yao ignored Liu Ji who was squatting above to watch the excitement. Although she didn't know who Liu Qi pulled out, it was important to save people. She quickly asked Liu Zhong, Liu Yang and others to put down the door panel and place the person smoothly on the door panel. , and asked everyone to tie him up with ropes, half lift and half drag him to the ground.
“Village chief, who is this?”
The villagers who came to help were surprised. They thought it was an old master, but they didn't expect it to be a strange young man.
Qin Yao shook her head, "I don't know, I'll have to wait until he wakes up to find out."
Qin Yao made arrangements in an orderly manner: "Liu Yang, you carry the people back to the school. Liu Ji, you and your second brother go to the town to invite Doctor Jin over. Hurry up!"
“The remaining villagers will come with me to bring up the carriage and its driver.”
Everyone got their lives and immediately got busy.
Liu Qishunzi, Liu Zhong and others were originally driving into the city to purchase goods, but they were rescued. Since Qin Yao was in charge of the overall situation here, they naturally had to continue their unfinished tasks.
Liu Zhong pulled Liu Ji into the car, and the three of them took him towards the town at full speed. Watching the carriage go away, Qin Yao picked up the rope and led the remaining villagers down to the bottom of the ditch carefully.
Get the coachman and horses up first, followed by the damaged carriage. I picked up the scattered luggage and other items one by one and packed them up. It took me half an hour to complete the cleaning work.
Awang and Liu Qi's father drove over and temporarily transported the dead horse and the driver's body to the open space in front of the school and parked them, waiting for the young man whose identity was unknown to wake up before disposing of them.
The carriage boxes were all dragged to the remaining stone mill shed, and everything would be done after everyone woke up.
After finishing this, Qin Yao returned to the village with the villagers carrying a box of luggage she picked up.
Liu Ji was quite fast. He drove to the town with Liu Zhong and others. When he found Doctor Jin, he immediately rented an oxcart and rushed back. Not long after Qin Yao arrived at the school, the doctor arrived.
When the villagers heard about this, they came to care about the master's condition. The children stood in the open space and surrounded the dead horse's body with worried eyes, fearing that something might happen to the new master.
Qin Yao persuaded everyone outside for a long time before convincing them all to go back.
Soon, the school became quiet, and the only people left were Liu Yang and Qin Yao, as well as Dr. Jin, who was seeing a doctor.
Liu Yang was helping Doctor Jin in the room, while Qin Yao was sitting by the door of the school classroom waiting.
In the empty room next door that was reserved for the kitchen, there was the coachman's already cold corpse.
Liu Ji first looked at the dead horse in the yard, clicked his tongue twice, and then came to the empty room. Two meters away, he looked at the body of the coachman wrapped in a mat, shook his head sympathetically, and then returned to the classroom. .
"Madam, both the coachman and the horse died accidentally due to falling down the mountain. Master Ding won't blame our village, right?" Liu Ji looked at the house left for his husband on the east side and saw Liu Yang entering with a **** cloth. Going in and out, sighing.
At Qin Yao's feet was a mahogany box stained by mud and water, which contained the collected books, pens, ink and personal clothes, as well as a letter of recommendation from the government.
The envelope is placed on the top of the box, already open.
Qin Yao pointed to the letter and said in a deep voice: "He is not Mrs. Ding. His real name is Zhen Yubai. He is twenty-seven years old. He is from Ningxi County and is a scholar."
Liu Ji was stunned, "Not Mr. Ding?"
Qin Yao hummed, "But he is a master recommended by the government to our village."
“Why didn’t you tell us earlier when there was a substitution?” Liu Ji said angrily.
Qin Yao glanced at him and said, "Keep your voice down."
"Oh, I forgot, don't blame me, ma'am." Liu Ji smiled coquettishly, not planning to go home, so he found a seat next to her and sat down.
His eyes caught a glimpse of the Zhen Yubai suitcase, and his hands were itchy. When Qin Yao wasn't paying attention, he reached over and turned it over twice.
“Master Zhen’s family is quite wealthy. They are made of fine jacquard cotton, and even the inkstone is made of the best Songshan inkstone.”
He muttered to himself, rummaged through all the things in the box, and excitedly told Qin Yao: "Madam, you said this person has such a rich family, why did he come to our village? Why did he come to this remote place to do this if he didn't take the imperial examination at such a young age? Teacher, what does he want?"
Qin Yao frowned slightly and warned him not to rummage through other people's things.
but
“Are Songshan inkstones expensive?”
Liu Ji stretched out his hand and said, "This square inkstone costs fifty taels of silver, and it is very valuable but not marketable. Only by following my younger brother can I occasionally get a glimpse of the glory of this Songshan inkstone."
He said enviously: "This expensive thing is indeed expensive for its own reason. It is more comfortable to use than the inkstone I bought for two taels of silver. If I can also own a Songshan inkstone, I will really die without regrets."
“Then go die.” Qin Yao said ruthlessly.
Before Liu Ji could get angry, he got up and followed Liu Yang into the east room.
