Day Three.
There are twenty-eight days left until Yue Qingyi succumbs to poison.
Nothing happened today.
I had wontons for breakfast, and for lunch, I went to the most famous restaurant in the area and ordered a pot of the house-made Plum Wine, along with Glutinous Rice Stuffed Duck, Smoked Chicken with White Belly, and a few vegetable dishes. I ate until I was full and spent the afternoon leisurely walking to digest.
At night, we still camped out in the wilderness.
It’s quite troublesome.
"Can we find an inn to stay at tomorrow?" I asked sadly.
Speaking of which, I haven't stayed at an inn from the novel yet.
"No," Yue Qingyi glanced at me disdainfully, "Can’t you handle this little hardship as a child of the rivers and lakes?"
"..."
It's hilarious; I'm not a child of the rivers and lakes, just a struggling office worker.
After starting a fire, Yue Qingyi slowly brushed off the dust from his hands and said, "The further west we go, the fewer towns there will be; days of eating in the wind and sleeping in the rain are still ahead."
"That's too miserable," I murmured softly.
Yue Qingyi shot me a sideways glance and said, "Your father really spoiled you."
I had no way to respond to that, so I could only laugh it off. Fortunately, he was too lazy to ask further questions.
I sighed in relief.
The more I say, the more mistakes I make; it's better to keep quiet.
"Do you know where we're heading next?" Yue Qingyi asked.
"Xilin City," I replied casually.
Only after saying it did I realize...
Damn it.
The original text mentioned that the last enemy of the Yue siblings settled down in Xilin City after wandering for half their lives. According to their order of revenge, after Zhang Family Head, this person is next on their list.
But as Fan Zhao, I shouldn't know this!!!
Yue Qingyi looked at me with a smile and said, "You really know everything."
Feeling guilty, I touched the back of my neck and turned my head to say softly, "As long as it won't harm you."
"I doubt you would dare," Yue Qingyi replied.
I had nothing to say and could only nod repeatedly.
Time Travel Day Four.
There are twenty-seven days left until Yue Qingyi succumbs to poison.
After a day of travel, the weather is calm and everything is peaceful.
Time Travel Day Five.
There are twenty-six days left until Yue Qingyi succumbs to poison.
We encountered a group of masked individuals, seemingly targeting Yue Qingyi. Yue Qingyi handled them all alone while I watched and cheered him on.
I felt a bit lightheaded at the sight of blood; perhaps there was just too much of it.
Time Travel Day Six.
There are twenty-five days left until Yue Qingyi succumbs to poison.
We had a free meal.
Well, it wasn't intentional; I only realized my money pouch was missing after we had eaten and drank our fill.
As a modern woman influenced by contemporary civilization, I stopped Yue Qingyi from getting violent and dragged him to experience the hard work of washing dishes to settle our bill.
Yue Qingyi kept looking at me with disdain, so I pretended not to notice.
We washed dishes until midnight without continuing our journey.
Time Travel Day Seven.
There are twenty-four days left until Yue Qingyi succumbs to poison.
In the evening, we finally reached a bustling town.
I encouraged Yue Qingyi to perform on the street, using his unwillingly handsome face to earn a few coins.
Then we rushed to the pharmacy and bought some medicine for external injuries, spending three taels and one coin.
Yue Qingyi frowned and asked, "Why did you buy this?"
I handed it to him and said, "I saw you got hurt yesterday. You should take care of it."
"It's just a small injury," Yue Qingyi replied tightly, "Return it."
"Why return it? Even small injuries need treatment," I said in confusion.
"Don't you want to stay at an inn? In this town, six coins won't get you a room," Yue Qingyi said impatiently.
I waved my hand dismissively and said, "I'll see if there's a place for Culvert. I've never stayed at Culvert, so it would be an experience."
Yue Qingyi looked at me with a complex expression.
Feeling uncomfortable under his gaze, I cautiously asked, "Is there no Culvert?"
Without saying a word, Yue Qingyi turned and walked away.
I hurriedly followed him.
Hey, we couldn't stay at the Culvert, so we found a dilapidated little temple.
...
...
On the fifteenth day.
There are sixteen days left until Yue Qingyi succumbs to poison.
While on the road, I casually saved a drowning child.
To be precise, both Yue Qingyi and I saved one each.
One child fell into the water, and the other impulsively jumped in to save him, but neither of them could swim.
Isn't it a coincidence that both Yue Qingyi and I can swim?
So we each pulled one out.
Before long, the parents of the children rushed over, expressing their gratitude profusely and insisted on giving us a heavy pouch.
As a pair of broke individuals, I took charge and accepted it without hesitation.
As we set off again, Yue Qingyi kept looking at the pouch as if it were something rare.
"How does it feel to save someone?" I asked him with a smile, "Isn't it pretty good?"
Yue Qingyi pursed his lips and nodded slightly, then a smile spread across his face as he said, "It's better than the feeling of killing."
I stood on my toes and encouragingly patted his shoulder.
Yue Qingyi tilted his head uncomfortably but didn’t pull away.
On the sixteenth day.
There are fifteen days left until Yue Qingyi succumbs to poison.
After traveling for a day, we spent the night in a barren field.
Yue Qingyi lay there gazing at the stars.
I walked over, squatted down, and asked, "Aren't you going to sleep?"
It was only after spending more time together that I realized he always sleeps later than I do and wakes up earlier.
Yue Qingyi didn’t look at me; he calmly said to the night sky, "Sleeping one day means losing one day. Those who are about to die are always reluctant to sleep."
I sighed, truly unsure of what to say.
...
...
Transmigration.
There are six days left until Yue Qingyi succumbs to poison.
Yesterday we arrived in Xilin City and agreed to seize the day and have fun in the city all day today.
"What are we playing today?" I asked with a smile, as usual, after putting on my mask.
"We can't play anymore." Yue Qingyi looked at me apologetically.
I paused, my breath catching, and said softly, "But there are still six days left."
"It's too late." Yue Qingyi forced a smile. "My old acquaintance has already arrived here."
I blinked, feeling a slight sting in my eyes.
It turned out that, just as the original text stated, there were indeed not six days left.
I gently tugged at his sleeve and looked up. "Let's go."
Yue Qingyi remained motionless, looking at me with regret. "I'm sorry."
A sense of confusion filled my heart. Just as I was about to ask him what was wrong, I felt a sharp pain in my neck and then everything went dark.
When I regained consciousness, Yue Qingyi was already gone.
A heaviness settled in my heart. I knew that Yue Qingyi had gone alone to confront his enemy.
Fortunately, I remembered that his enemy was the local tea merchant, Chen Youwei.
But by the time I arrived, it was already too late.
The battle had reached its climax.
Though the tea merchant had appeared to be an ordinary wealthy businessman over the years, he had never slackened in his martial training behind the scenes.
Moreover, he had been prepared ever since he heard about the deaths of his old companions.
Yue Qingyi had fallen into an ambush.
The female protagonist and her group had originally stood by and watched. Seeing Yue Qingyi severely injured and unable to fight back, the third young master of the the Lu Family, who had taken in the female protagonist, stepped forward to help.
As the fight intensified, both Yue Qingyi and Third master Lu found themselves in peril at the same time.
"Be careful, Third Brother!" the female protagonist exclaimed, no longer pretending to be innocent. She stepped forward and struck the tea merchant back with a powerful palm, saving Third master Lu from danger.
Meanwhile, Yue Qingyi took a heavy blow from the tea merchant and froze in place, his expression filled with despair.
The pain of not being able to recognize each other as siblings was already unbearable.
It was even more cruel that the sister he fought so hard to protect was concerned for another person instead.
The female protagonist was completely unaware of this.
She did not know Yue Qingyi.
