Chapter 191 Must We Go to the North?
"Fugui, what's the matter?"
It rarely snows in their area, and the winters are wet and cold. People from the north may not be able to withstand it.
Li Fugui walked towards her and walked side by side.
I told her what I wanted to tell her yesterday: "It's about going to the North."
"what happened?"
Li Xiaoyu glanced at him with a puzzled tone in his voice.
Thinking of his grandmother's health, Li Fugui sighed: "Grandma's health is getting worse and worse. The doctor said she may not live past March next year."
Li Xiaoyu didn't know anything about medicine, but he thought about the time when Grandma Wang kept coughing at the banquet yesterday.
She also sighed.
"According to our ancestors' rules, I have to observe mourning for three years, but my grandmother said that she had finally seen some changes in me, and she didn't want me to be alone with the memories and fall into grief, so she told me to leave after she passed away and buried me."
Hearing this, Li Xiaoyu narrowed his eyes.
Fugui added, "I am the only one left in our family. I understand what grandma means. She is afraid that I will become the idle second-rate person I used to be."
She tilted her head and looked at the sad look on Li Fugui's face and pursed her lips.
Ask him, “So what do you think?”
Grandma is his only relative, and whether he likes it or not, Li Fugui wants to respect her opinion.
He looked down at Li Xiaoyu and put on a forced smile.
"This is grandma's last wish. I want to listen to her."
Li Xiaoyu understood, she nodded and comforted him: "It's okay, I'll go with you."
Hearing the second half of the sentence, Li Fugui felt something was wrong, and he said, "Xiao Yu, I may not return to Shu in the future. I have asked around, and I know that the pass can be done for money."
He hesitated and asked her, "But you have a husband and a family. Isn't it inappropriate for you to go with me?"
Know what he is worried about.
Li Xiaoyu waved his hand and told him about Gu Fei in a simple and clear manner.
Hearing Gu Fei’s identity.
Li Fugui first widened his eyes in surprise, and it took him a while to accept that such a big shot had come to their village.
As a result, this important person was leaving during the New Year. Li Fugui was no longer worried about his own affairs. He frowned and looked worriedly at the woman who looked indifferent.
"Then you are going to divorce him!"
Seeing his worried face, Li Xiaoyu smiled and said, "I don't care, don't worry about me."
"I know you won't feel bad, I'm just afraid that if you meet someone you like in the future and the other person knows that you've been married before, I'm afraid you'll feel bad then."
Li Xiaoyu raised her eyebrows.
He smiled and said, “We’ll talk about the future later.”
Seeing her bright smile, Li Fugui thought of Li Wu and the others, "What about your father and the others? Are you comfortable leaving them behind?"
Li Wu and others were not in Li Xiaoyu's plan.
It was beyond her expectation that the family could change. If they returned to their previous state after she left, it would mean that they were hopeless.
"Why worry about this? We are all adults now, we should be sensible."
They stopped and walked along the way and talked about a lot of things, such as the money needed to buy the pass, their belongings and so on.
Quickly entering the city, Li Fugui asked a very important question.
"Xiaoyu, will you come back in the future?"
Li Xiaoyu almost didn't hesitate, "Yes, I will." Since she came here, she has only been to two counties. She wants to go out and see the outside world: "I have never been to any place. I want to go and see."
"It's good to broaden my horizons or listen to different dialects. Anyway, I want to do it while I'm still young."
"Walk around more, see more, and when you don't want to stay outside anymore, come back."
She likes to go to different places, eat different foods, and experience different cultures.
The roads in ancient times were difficult to travel on.
It might be hard to travel all the way to the north, but she still wanted to go for a walk.
Hearing that she would come back, Li Fugui nodded in agreement. Xiaoyu was different from him. He could go anywhere alone.
She still has a family, although they are not that good.
But they are still family after all.
When they entered the city, one went to buy medicine and the other went to sell food.
Li Xiaoyu said, "Fugui, you go and arrange the pass, and I'll give you the money when I get home."
The silver she had on her was just enough to buy flour and other things.
Fugui responded: "Okay."
After saying that, the two of them walked in two opposite directions.
After buying things, the two returned to the village together.
She took out twenty taels of silver from the cabinet, told Gu Fei that she was going out for a while, and hurriedly left home.
Look at her running away in a hurry.
The man put down the brush. When she took the silver, he listened quietly outside. Then he walked into the room and opened the box where she usually kept the silver.
After counting, I found that twenty taels were missing.
His dark eyes narrowed slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he had a guess in his mind.
I have to go to the North...
Days passed by, and one day, Li Xiaoyu went into the city to deliver goods. When he passed by the yamen, he saw the lawyer with a smile on his face.
Looking in a good mood.
She smiled and walked forward to say hello.
Hearing the voice, the master turned around and waved his fan at her, "Xiaoyu, come in and sit down."
While drinking tea, she heard the lawyer say: "Qi Yi's case has been decided. He will be taken to the county market and beheaded in three days."
"That's good news."
Li Xiaoyu held the teacup and took a sip of hot tea.
As long as this beast is alive, the Li family will live in fear.
Seeing that she had finished her drink, the lawyer poured her another cup and said happily, "This is indeed good news. The county magistrate has been so happy that he couldn't sleep these past two days."
After taking the tea, Li Xiaoyu also laughed.
"If it were me, I wouldn't just not be able to sleep for two days, I wouldn't be able to sleep for even a moment."
In the eyes of the master, Li Xiaoyu is just a little girl.
Listening to her joyful laughter, he picked up the fan and wanted to fan it, but thinking that it was still winter, he put it back.
"It's a good thing for us and the victims."
"It's a pity... most of them have passed away."
The master lowered his voice.
Looking at his eyes filled with compassion, Li Xiaoyu pursed her lips and said nothing.
She didn't know that there was no one else in the world as lucky as her to have the chance to live again.
If so, I hope they can all live happily.
In fact, she knew it in her heart.
This is just a self-consoling blessing.
The master also knew that Gu Fei was leaving, so he asked Xiaoyu, "Do you want to go with him?"
The latter was stunned for a moment. She didn't know why the master thought she should go with Gu Fei. She shook her head and explained, "I have my own things to do. I guess we may come here to get a divorce in a few days."
Hearing the word divorce.
The lawyer thought about what he had observed during this period and what the county magistrate had observed, and it was clear that the young prince was interested in Xiaoyu.
Will he divorce her?
The lawyer was skeptical.
But looking at the serious expression on Xiaoyu's face, he did not tell her his doubts.
After saying goodbye to her master, she went to the pastry shop to buy some candied fruits.
Before reaching home, just looking at the smoke coming out of the chimney, Li Xiaoyu seemed to smell a strong aroma of Chinese medicine in the air.
She had been drinking it for two days straight and it was so bitter that she could hardly drink any more.
As she pushed the door open and walked closer, the man came out of the kitchen carrying a bowl.
"Come and take your medicine."
