Not long after Guo Jia left, Hua Tuo also left the capital. Before he left, he naturally reminded me in every possible way and left me a few medical books to study carefully.
After that, my life seemed to have returned to the right track. It became completely the same as before. I lived in seclusion and rarely went out. I didn't see any outsiders.
The only difference was that there was one less person in the residence.
When Chao Rong heard that Guo Jia had left, she felt sad for a while. Even Mrs Qiao sighed. However, who could not survive if they left? No matter how important a person was, once they left, it would not be long before they would not be remembered deeply by others. Not to mention, Guo Jia was originally a dispensable figure in this residence.
As a result, a month passed and no one mentioned him anymore. Even the maidservants who were originally so infatuated with him in the manor could only run out to the streets to see Marquis Lu's charm. Life continued peacefully and uneventfully, as if everything had been in the past.
However, others can forget, but I can't. Because…the days when Guo Jia wasn't around were really too boring!
Back then, when I was bored, I could still look for him to play and chat. Now that he's gone, I can't go out to study medicine anymore. I stay in my room all day. If I don't read some ancient books that I don't know the meaning of, I'll listen to Chaorong's patient teachings in my ear. She told me to study needlework well so that I wouldn't be unable to get married.
To be honest, I learned a few skills from Guo Jia in the four arts, music, calligraphy, and painting. I also know a few skills in poetry, but in needlework…I really only know how to thread a needle and sew buttons. Moreover, the worst thing is that when I arrived at the Three Kingdoms, I realized that the ancient method of sewing buttons was completely different from the modern method. I couldn't learn it no matter what, let alone embroider and sew pillows. It was a complete waste of high-end fabric.
I had no choice but to read the medical books left by Hua Tuo every day to relieve my boredom. When I got bored, I went to compare poems with Chao Rong. Of course, she was not my match, but this way, she completely changed her view of me as her sister and thought that I was a natural talent who did not care about trifles.
In short, other than his rotten life, this period of time could be considered perfect.
In the court, Dong Zhuo found an excuse to say that Liu Bian was full of resentment and wrote poems. He finally found an opportunity to eliminate the root of the problem. However, I still believe that my efforts will not be in vain. Perhaps Liu Bian and his mother have already found a place to live in seclusion and have started a new life. Dong Zhuo's act of killing the Emperor had finally angered the various dukes. The first to react was actually Cao Cao. One day, he ran to the Grand Preceptor's Residence with his treasured saber, wanting to imitate Jing Ke and kill Dong Zhuo on the spot. Who would have thought that he would almost be exposed, so he could only use the excuse of offering his saber to Dong Zhuo and then perfunctorily give up. However, he did not dare to stay in the capital any longer. As soon as he left the Grand Preceptor's residence, he immediately rode a fast horse and ran to Qiao County to take refuge.
What does Dong Zhuo's death have to do with me? I didn't care about that, but I was happy that Cao Cao had escaped. At least he wouldn't be able to harass Mrs. Qiao for the time being.
In the dead of night, I stretched my back and threw myself on the soft blanket, letting out a satisfied moan. Ah, sleeping was really the greatest pleasure in life.
Cheng Wu laughed lightly and mocked me,"Why is Second Miss like a cat on the roadside? She laughs so happily as soon as she sleeps."”
"I didn't hear you. I fell asleep." I rolled over and decided to ignore her mockery.
Cheng Wu smiled and shook her head. She blew out the lights for me, turned around, and left, gently closing the door.
The surroundings were abnormally quiet. Only the faint chirping of birds could be heard in the courtyard. I was groggy and didn't take long to fall asleep.
In the dream, I seemed to have returned to my modern home. My sister had already graduated and became a young and beautiful woman. My brother seemed to have grown a lot and didn't look as naughty as he did when he was young.
I took a step forward and was about to speak to them when I suddenly felt a chill in my chest and woke up.
In the darkness, I met a pair of cold eyes.
"Don't move or scream, or I'll kill you!”
The voice was so cold that it almost froze people.
I was stunned. On one hand, it was because there was a cold sharp knife against my chest. The person in front of me only needed to move his right hand slightly to stab me to death. On the other hand…this voice was actually a woman's!
I opened my mouth, but my throat was dry and I couldn't make a sound.
My eyes gradually adapted to the darkness. With the help of the faint moonlight, I could roughly see the outline of this woman. Her face was covered with a black veil, revealing only her eyes. Her appearance could not be seen clearly, but from her voice and figure, she seemed to be a young woman.
She saw that I didn't say anything and said with satisfaction,"At least you know what's good for you." She waved the knife in front of my eyes. The moonlight reflected on it and it was particularly dazzling." You're Lord Qiao's two thousand gold, the female disciple of Hua Tuo's divine doctor. Your name is Qiao Xiyan?”
I subconsciously nodded."That's right. May I ask…what advice do you have?”
"Very good, I was looking for you." She reached out to my chest and patted it hard. I felt my entire body go limp and weak, and I couldn't even move a finger.
"Follow me," she said. She grabbed my clothes in front of my chest with one hand and gently flung me onto her back. She jumped and planned to jump out of the window.
Seeing that things were not going well, I hurriedly shouted,"Wait, wait, did you get it wrong? I don't have any grudges with you in the past or in the present. Why did you kidnap me?”
She snorted and said,"You're Qiao Xiyan. That's enough."”
What did he mean? "Hey, heroine, I've never done anything evil. I didn't kill anyone, set fire to anyone, or cheat anyone. Our Qiao family is a good family, you…why are you arresting me? Let me tell you, my father doesn't love me and my mother doesn't love me. I'm not of any value…Oh!”
I bombarded them like a cannon, thinking that if I was loud enough, I might be able to attract Orange Dance and Crimson Song. In the end, the masked woman saw through my intentions and reached out to touch my mute acupoint.
This time, I couldn't move or scream. He was really depressed.
Even worse, I still don't know what's going on.
The veiled woman was obviously skilled in martial arts. With a light leap, she brought me over the wall and then shuttled back and forth in countless dark alleys. I had planned to record the route down so that I could keep it as evidence in the future. Who knew that she didn't turn just one or two, but ten or twenty turns. I didn't have any sense of direction, so I really felt dizzy after turning around like this.
I could only close my eyes and calculate in my heart, but I couldn't figure out who I had offended. This masked woman had a unique skill and was obviously not an ordinary person. What was her identity?
