Li Feng finally decided to go with the group of Western Region merchants and came over to say goodbye to Cao Xi before leaving.
There were emotions in his eyes that Cao Xi couldn't understand. After being relatively speechless for a long time, Li Feng took out a stack of papers from his arms.
"This is the title deed to the shop and house. I'll leave these things with you until I come back. If I can't come back... I'll give these things to you."
Cao Xi was so frightened that he was bid farewell like a testament, and made two bah-bah-bah noises.
"Don't say these unlucky words. You will be safe this time around. Trust me."
Li Feng smiled bitterly, "I've never had much luck, so I'd like to lend you some good advice."
Cao Xi: "When do you decide to leave?"
"I'll leave the day after tomorrow in the afternoon." Li Feng looked at her with a smile, as if he wanted to keep her in mind.
Cao Xi was affected by his low mood and felt excited. Until he left, Cao Xi didn't recover.
After sitting blankly under the jujube tree for a long time, he hurried to Qin Zhao's bedroom, picked up a pen and sketched on the paper.
When Qin Zhao came back from school, he searched around the yard but couldn't find Cao Xi. Finally, he found that she was in her room. She didn't know what she was drawing on. Her little face was stained with ink and her eyes were bright.
Qin Zhao walked up to Cao Xi and she woke up. She hadn't cooked yet at night.
"What are you doing?" Qin Zhao was a little curious. Seeing how energetic she was, he might have thought of some new tricks.
Cao Xi was interested in being hooked. She raised the paper in her hand and handed it to Qin Zhao, "How about this is the breast shield I made?"
Draw a circle on the paper, with some bulges, which is somewhat similar to what the city defenders wore, but it is simpler than what the city defenders wore.
"Why draw it?" Qin Zhao was puzzled. This was something that was inseparable from their lives.
Cao Xi: "Li Feng is going to the Western Regions the day after tomorrow. He has stored all his property at our house."
Qin Zhao's eyebrows furrowed, "What is he doing? He doesn't give him good things, but he puts them here with you?"
Li Feng's behavior is really disgusting.
"What's even more scary is that he said that if he doesn't come back, he will give this thing to us."
This made Qin Zhao very angry. What a thief with an undying desire to commit crimes, he came here to explain the funeral arrangements.
Qin Zhao's face turned red with anger and he gritted his teeth, "Where is the thing? I will send it back to him tomorrow."
Seeing that Qin Zhao was angry, Cao Xi hurriedly comforted him, "It's not easy for him. He has worked hard for so many years to save this little family. I see that Qiu Ju is not easy to get along with. I guess Li Feng is afraid that he will not be able to keep his family property after leaving, so he Leave us here. He doesn't necessarily trust us that much, and there is probably nothing he can do about it. After all, you are a scholar, and he will not suffer any loss in terms of your career and his property."
Qin Zhao's anger disappeared instantly after hearing Cao Xi's distorted analysis, hum! No matter how much you pay, there's no point in it. That fool Cao Xi can't even see it.
"What does that have to do with your drawing of this?" Qin Zhao's eyes fell on the paper and brought the topic back to the original question.
Cao Xi: "There are countless thieves all the way to the Western Regions. I want to make him a heart mirror, which will have some effect."
Qin Zhao stood up and said with anger in his eyes, "You care about him so much, and you even designed a heart protector."
Qin Zhao was jealous and heartbroken. Just now he said that Li Feng was plotting against them, and now he was making a breast shield for Li Feng and coaxing him to play with it. Qin Zhao wished that Li Feng would not come back after he went to the Western Regions.
Cao Xi held her forehead, knowing that when she met Li Feng, he would make trouble unreasonably.
"Looking at your small belly, you can be considered a friend after all. I can only help him so far."
Qin Zhao snorted and said nothing more. He was jealous that Li Feng received special treatment from Cao Xi, but he didn't know the benefits. He could only hold back and said, "What else do you need to do? I'll help you."
Cao Xi: "Go to the blacksmith shop tomorrow, pick out a good piece of iron, and make it into a fixed belt."
Qin Zhao: "Give it to me. I'll take it to the blacksmith shop tomorrow. I'll find the materials for the fixing strap."
Qin Zhao put away the design draft, glared at Cao Xi fiercely and ordered.
"This thing is a gift from me, don't you know?"
Although he is cautious, Cao Xi still likes to go along with him on such trivial matters. After all, it is better for Qin Zhao to do it than to do it himself.
Seeing that Cao Xi didn't refute, Qin Zhao felt relieved.
..................................................
Before dawn, Qi Qige was pulled out of bed by Qin Zhao. Qi Qige got up and was so angry that Qin Zhao suppressed her. She couldn't even send out a breath, so she had to accept her fate.
"What you do cannot wait until dawn."
Qin Zhao: "I want to get a fixing strap for a breast goggle."
"What are you doing that for?" Qiqige suddenly woke up, her eyes widened, and her mind was full of gossip.
Qin Zhao: "Why do you ask so many questions? Can you get it?"
"Tsk, tsk, look at your attitude. Is this the attitude of asking for help?"
After Qi Qige finished speaking, she was about to lie down on the bed again, but Qin Zhao pulled her up again as she was halfway down.
"Oh, are you going to let people sleep?" Qiqige was very irritated. He wanted to hit people now.
Qin Zhao: "Why are you sleeping? Come and go shopping with me to find materials."
Just like that, Qi Qige was dragged to the deserted street.
Qi Qige looked helpless and said, "Tell me, where do you want to buy it?"
"Why is the shop open so late?"
Qin Zhao was a little embarrassed. He only thought about the tight time and heavy tasks, and forgot about the opening time of the shop.
Seeing that there was nothing he could do, Qi Qige patted his shoulder and said, "Wait for me for a while."
He walked a few steps alone and then turned back to warn Qin Zhao, "Just wait here, don't walk around, I'll be back in a minute."
Qin Zhao didn't just wait there obediently. He found a breakfast stall and ordered two bowls of wontons and four meatloaf.
When Qi Qige came back, there was Qin Zhao there. He was so angry that he just wanted to throw the materials in his hand to the ground when he heard Qin Zhao calling him. Following the voice, I saw, good guy, he was busy looking for materials for him, so he could just sit there and have breakfast like an old man.
Qi Qige walked over angrily.
"I've been running around for you all morning, but you still have the nerve to eat here."
He reached out and picked up a meat pie, took a bite, and stared at Qin Zhao, as if he could tear Qin Zhao apart at any time.
Qin Zhao shouted to the old man next to the stove, "Old man, that bowl of wontons is ready to be cooked."
"Okay, sir"
After a while, the hot wontons were brought over. Qin Zhao pushed the wontons in front of Qi Qige and handed him a small spoon. Qi Qige took it unhappily, took a spoonful of wontons and put them into her mouth without knowing how to blow them.
When Qin Zhao saw the materials in his hand, he knew that Qi Qige had obtained them for him.
Qin Zhao said with a smile on his face, "Thank you."
Qi Qige raised her head and glared at Qin Zhao fiercely, then lowered her head and continued eating wontons.
Throw it away after use, Qin Zhao performed it vividly. Qi Qige was thrown away by Qin Zhao on the way back to Runxiang Garden.
Let him go back by himself. He will go to the blacksmith shop to deliver the drawings, and then go home to deliver materials to Cao Xi. There is no need for him to accompany him.
Qi Qi Ge gritted her teeth angrily, Bah, who wants to accompany you? At this time, Qi Qi Ge can only go to the academy to read. Since moving out of Qi Mansion, he has long since changed his good habit of going to the academy to study early.
Qin Zhao sent the materials home and asked Cao Xi to soak the materials in water until they were soft, and then they would work together to shape them when they came back in the evening.
The breast protector has been sent to the blacksmith shop in a hurry, and they will be brought back together after school in the evening. After Qin Zhao explained it, he hurried to the academy.
In the academy. Qi Qige didn't look directly at Qin Zhao until school ended in the afternoon and the situation got better. He probably lost his temper and insisted on going home with Qin Zhao to see what happened.
Qin Zhao also knew that what he did today was a bit too much, so he agreed to go home with him. He said that he would have extra food for him in the evening, which made Qiqige smile on his face.
Qin Zhao went to the blacksmith shop and took out the breast mirror.
Qi Qige asked curiously, "Why are you doing this?"
Qin Zhao bit his molar and said, "Giving it to someone else?"
...
Under the jujube tree, Qi Qige was stirring. Cao Xi had soaked the ingredients and asked in surprise, "Do you really want to make a breast shield?"
"Li Feng is going to the Western Regions tomorrow afternoon. This is a gift for him."
Qin Zhao brought a chair to Qi Qige and motioned for him to sit.
Qi Qige murmured to herself, "There should be a breast shield."
The three people worked together to install the braided fixing strap on the breast protector. Cao Xi held the breast protector and gestured to Qin Zhao, and then she almost put it away.
Looking at Cao Xi who used him as a model, Qin Zhao wrinkled his face and really didn't want to cooperate with her.
In order to thank Chiqige for his help, we cooked a sumptuous dinner. Among them, Chiqige’s favorite was the soy sauce bone. He praised it so much that he took two pieces with him before leaving, saying that he would eat them for breakfast tomorrow.
…
In the afternoon of the next day, Cao Xi and Qin Zhao went out of the city to see Li Feng off. There were only a few people to see him off, and they carried a small package behind their backs. Qiu Ju stood beside him, reluctant to leave, as if there were millions of words telling her.
When Li Feng saw Cao Xi and the others approaching, his dim eyes lit up instantly, and he walked quickly to Cao Xi.
"Why are you here?" There was a cheerfulness in his tone that he didn't even notice.
"Knowing that you are leaving today, I specially made a gift for you. I hope it will be helpful to you."
Qin Zhao handed the breast shield to Li Feng and interrupted him to look at Cao Xi, not wanting to see his earnest look.
"Heartguard"
Li Feng's hands trembled slightly and he looked at Cao Xi. He knew that this gift must have been prepared by Cao Xi, and Qin Zhao was not so kind as to consider it for him.
"Look what she does, I gave this to you." Qin Zhao stood sideways in front of Cao Xi.
Everyone present was stunned by Qin Zhao's childish behavior, but he didn't know it. Cao Xi wanted to hold his forehead, but she pushed Qin Zhao aside.
Cao Xi: "Take the breast protection mirror inside when no one is around. I hope it will ensure your safe return."
Li Feng clenched the breast shield in his hand tightly, pursed his lips and was about to speak when he was interrupted by Qiu Ju's strange annoyance.
"You are so thoughtful, you went all the way to deliver something to our Li Feng."
With that said, she went to pull the breast shield in Li Feng's hand, but unfortunately she couldn't pull it out. She glanced at Li Feng awkwardly and slowly retracted her hand.
He turned around and glared at Cao Xi, but Qin Zhao happened to catch him.
"If you have bad eyesight, just stay at home and don't come out to embarrass your man."
Qiu Ju was a little flustered by Qin Zhao and quickly turned to look at Li Feng.
Li Feng's face was frosty, "You should go back first." Qiu Ju was aroused by his cold words.
She was a little surprised, but more dissatisfied. How could Cao Xi get Li Feng's favor, but she had paid so much but couldn't get recognition.
She couldn't show her dissatisfaction. She had been persuading him for a long time during this trip to the Western Regions, so she couldn't lose the big for the small.
With Li Feng's intelligence and courage, as long as he can return safely, he will definitely make a lot of money. If he never comes back, hum! Thinking of this, Qiu Ju's eyes flashed with a trace of evil.
But in an instant, he put on his flattering smile again: "Then Li Feng, I'm going back first. You must remember to miss me on the way." After saying that, he turned around and left everyone.
Cao Xi smiled awkwardly, "Be careful on the road. If something happens, you will lose money and avoid disaster. Don't confront others head-on."
At this moment, someone in the distance signaled Li Feng to set off, and he waved in response.
"Don't worry, I will pay attention. You should go back quickly. It's time for me to set off." After saying that, he turned around and ran into the team.
Not knowing whether he would live or die, Qin Zhao felt a little depressed and said, "Let's go back too."
Cao Xi sighed and said, "Let's go."
