When Ji Qingyao returned to the cave with the cleaned pheasant, she saw Pei Mingche sitting half-reclined on the edge of the cave's stone wall, smiling like a 250-year-old.
Ji Qingyao only felt that the man in front of her was probably mentally ill. Yesterday, he would talk to her about things at any time for no apparent reason. Now he was laughing like a fool. She remembered that he only had injuries on his chest and not on his head.
Ji Qingyao ignored the man's stupidity and put the cleaned prey into a pot and simmered it on the fire.
Using the cover of the backpack, I took out the scallion pancakes from the space, tied them with village branches and set them aside to heat. I also put the wild eggs next to the fire and let them bake slowly. The pancakes were still warm, but they required a lot of effort to make them look good.
Ji Qingyao simmered the pheasant for lunch. When both sides of the scallion pancake were golden brown, she divided the pancake and porridge into two and gave one portion to Pei Mingche. She ate gracefully and quickly.
After Pei Mingche finished eating, Ji Qingyao quickly packed up everything, left some medicine for him, and said she was going to the village chief to buy land. She disappeared without waiting for the man to react.
Pei Mingche was heartbroken, girl, do I have so little weight in your heart? Why don't you wait to tell me your next plan?
Forget it, he'll go to the village chief later and ask where this girl's homestead is, and then he'll buy the one next to it.
After Ji Qingyao left, a man in black entered the cave, knelt on one knee and clasped his fists in his hands: "Master"
Pei Mingche leaned half of his body against the stone wall, playing with a branch in his hand. He looked like a playboy. He raised his eyes and looked at the person who came: "Go and see where the land that girl bought is located." She bought the one next door, just enough to build a second yard, so she doesn’t find out.”
"Yes, Master"
"Master, how are your injuries?" the man in black asked.
"It's okay for now. You and your brothers will collect the evidence and gather it at the foot of the mountain tomorrow evening. It's time to close the net." Pei Mingche had no expression on his face, as if he was talking about something ordinary. .
But the people who followed Pei Mingche all knew that the calmer his master was, the more deadly his counterattack would be.
The man in black took the order and left.
Pei Mingche looked in the direction of the cave entrance, "Girl, I'm leaving soon. It's been a few years since I left. I started to miss you even before I left. What do you want me to do with you?"
After he was reborn, he entered the military camp and began to cultivate his own power. In less than five years, he could change a lot of things. He didn't want to have useless people around him like in his previous life, and he had to do everything by himself.
Not only did he hold in his hands the evidence of Pei Linyun's crimes in the Ministry of Rites' Mansion and the crimes he had committed over the years, he would only wait until then to give them a heavy blow. He did not want to let go of anyone who had harmed him and her in the past life.
As for the Sixth Prince, Pei Mingche would never be able to reach that position again in this life without him. Back then, he had devoted everything he had to help him ascend to a high position, but in the end, he was just like a dog.
In this life, he can just sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. When the new emperor ascends the throne, he can use the military achievements he has accumulated to give him a high enough status and then retire.
He had long been tired of the days of fighting and killing. If it weren't for the quick success of military achievements on the battlefield, or if it weren't for the ability to protect the people he wanted to protect, he wouldn't want to live in those bloody days again.
He thought of the Sixth Prince, and then thought of another woman in the capital, the woman who gave him Hehuansan in his previous life. When the time comes, he will give that woman an unforgettable gift.
Before returning to the capital, he had to disfigure his face. Whether it was his heart or his body, he could only belong to Ji Qingyao in this life. He knew that there were many women who wanted to crawl into his bed. In the previous life, Princess Lingyun wanted to recruit him into the princess. In the end, he refused to make noodles in the house, and in the end, his death was inseparable from Princess Ling Qu's encouragement.
Ji Qingyao didn't know what Pei Mingche was thinking. At this moment, she was imagining her own blueprint in her mind, drinking a little song and heading down the mountain.
When Ji Qingyao came down from the mountain, she carried a rabbit and a pheasant in her hands. She just wanted the people in Xiaoxi Village to know that she had hunting skills and it was not difficult to make money.
She didn't go to Li Xiulian, but went directly to the village chief's house with the prey. She met many people along the way. They wanted to say hello to her but didn't dare to come forward. This morning, the village chief told them not to talk nonsense. The tiger hunt in the village was to avoid attracting jealousy from outside the village and causing unrest in the village.
Xiaoxi Village turned out to be the poorest village in Qinghe Town and the furthest village from the town. When Pei Ningyuan's father was the village chief, he spent his own money to hire someone to re-survey the terrain, found a road closest to the town, and mobilized the villagers to dig. The mountain road construction resulted in the current scene of Xiaoxi Village.
