Fast Wear: A Different Life

Chapter 171 Ancient Times (25)

When the two of them were having dinner at Jiang's restaurant, they listened to a lot of gossip about family matters and the city. They didn't order many dishes for dinner, just two dishes and a soup. The taste was okay, just home-style flavor, but it was fresh, clean and hygienic.

After dinner, the two of them walked slowly back in the sunset glow.

The sunset stretched the shadows of the two people very long, and at first glance it looked like the two of them were leaning against each other, very intimate.

The two of them finally returned to the Yuemanlou Inn when the last ray of sunset glow faded away, and Banxia had been waiting at the door of the inn for some time.

Banxia saw Ji Xiao and Li Xiangyi walking side by side from a distance and hurried over.

"Miss, Master Li, you are finally back."

"Ah."

"Have you had dinner yet?"

"I have eaten. I have already sorted out the things that Fanghua Pavilion sent this afternoon."

"Okay, let the waiter bring some hot water."

"Ok."

As they were talking, Banxia had already brought the two people to the guest rooms. Banxia had booked the two best suites in the inn, each with two bedrooms, one large and one small, plus a reception room.

At night, Ji Xiao took a nice hot bath before going to bed.

That night, the four of them slept well, and it was not until around nine o'clock the next day that they walked out of the room one after another.

Ji Xiao and her group traveled in the Jiangnan area for nearly half a year before setting off to go home. Ji Xiao had already taken out the cloth she had bought and drew a picture for Banxia to make it.

Banxia and Ada also had some, but they were all made of ordinary fabrics. Banxia asked someone to make them when she was resting in Yangzhou, and she made them for Ji Xiao and Li Xiangyi.

The few of them rested for three days in the first county town. Ji Xiao and Li Xiangyi had learned almost everything they needed to know, so they asked Banxia and Ada to go out to replenish some food and then set off for Yangzhou.

It took them more than ten days to reach Yangzhou after stopping and walking along the way. The first thing Ji Xiao did when they arrived in Yangzhou was to ask Banxia and Ada to rent a yard. They stayed in Yangzhou for one and a half months. Ji Xiao had not seen the fireworks in March, but she had seen Yangzhou with flowers in full bloom.

However, before the arrival of midsummer, Ji Xiao brought a few people to Hangzhou and rented a courtyard of four to five hundred square meters by the West Lake, where he lived for three months.

During this period, Ji Xiao and Li Xiangyi toured the West Lake together on a black-sailed boat on a misty rainy day.

We went to Leifeng Pagoda when the sun just rose, and then went to Lingyin Temple, and some other attractions that are more famous in later generations. We also felt the misty Jiangnan in ancient times, which is really beautiful.

Finally, Ji Xiao and his group set off for Gusu, and then stayed there for a while, until there were only two months left before the Chinese New Year, when they headed back.

After all, after the New Year is the anniversary of Ji Xiao’s father’s death. Since it is the first year, Ji Xiao must rush back.

During this period, the poison in Li Xiangyi's body was completely eliminated, and he no longer had to endure the pain of the poison. Ji Xiao also took care of him with medicine, and he felt better. Even the meridians in his body became much wider.

During this period, Li Xiangyi did not always follow Ji Xiao. After the poison of the green tea was completely eliminated, Li Xiangyi would go outside the city to hunt and sell from time to time. Later, after getting confirmation that there was no problem, he rode the same horse as Zhuixue and went out.

He had visited Li Xiangyi's life as a young hero, but when Li Xiangyi was riding a white horse named Zhuifeng on the grassland outside the Great Wall, he had already begun to think about Ji Xiao who now lives in Gusu.

After all, since he came into this world, he had never been away from Ji Xiao for such a long time, and it was less than a month. People often say, "It takes 21 days to form a habit!" What's more, it's not just 21 days, but 5 or 6 months! So when he rested at night, Li Xiangyi wrote a letter to Ji Xiao.

By the time the letter reached Ji Xiao, a month had passed, and all it said was "I miss you."

After reading the letter, Ji Xiao did not reply. Instead, she took out a box from the space and put the letter in it. Inside the box were the gifts that Li Xiangyi usually brought her when he went out. After putting the letter in it, she put the box back into the space.

Ji Xiao then calculated the time, thinking that Li Xiangyi would be back soon, so she did not reply to his letter, but called Banxia and said, "Let's stay here for a few more days, wait for Li Xiangyi, and then set off in five days."

"Yes."

During the time when Li Xiangyi was away, Ji Xiao often went out alone and bought a lot of items unique to Jiangnan and put them in the space, including extremely rare and expensive cloth, pens, ink, paper, and inkstones, as well as some books that were not available anywhere else.

Occasionally, she would go up the mountain alone to collect some rare herbs and treasures, but she didn't collect a lot. Sometimes she would transplant some of the more abundant plants in the space and plant them in the mountains, as a way of giving back to the secondary world.

The plants that Ji Xiao gave back invisibly reduced the number of deaths, because one year later, someone discovered these plants when collecting herbs in the mountains. They found that these plants had certain medicinal value, so they took them home and conducted some research. They then found that they could be applied to a variety of diseases, so they reported them to the government. In addition to receiving a bonus, they also obtained the qualification to enter the National Medical Research Institute.

So after its efficacy was finally confirmed, people were ordered to collect its seeds and then plant them artificially. Finally, it was widely used to treat different diseases, and it also reduced a lot of unnecessary deaths. (After all, in ancient times, a simple cold or ordinary infection could kill people, especially after injuries, there were alcohol disinfectants, but some people could not resist the risk of infection, and some people were very likely to get sepsis or tetanus after infection, especially in the era of cold weapons.)
