Chapter 326 Sleeping in the same bed
But the thought that she was willing to follow him gradually warmed up his cold heart.
It was clear that she could leave with Ji Qingyu just now. Even if Ji Qingyu sent her back to Beilan, she would be safe. After all, the third child's target is him. So far, the third child has not dared to offend Zhenbei Palace easily.
But she chose to follow him, even to the point where she was so anxious that she burst into tears just to get him to agree.
Being able to have such a woman by his side is a blessing from his previous life, right?
"Yan Yan, do you think people have previous lives?"
Suddenly hearing him ask this, Li Yuyan's heart trembled inexplicably. Could the absurd dream be considered a past life?
If the dream is from the past life, then by staying with him in this life, could it be that she owes him in the past life?
But in the previous life, he always treated her like that...
How could she still owe him?
"What are you thinking about?" he asked again.
Ye Yiheng let her go and stared into her beautiful eyes.
The corners of Li Yuyan's lips moved slightly, but she was at least sure that she had a modern past life, so she replied: "Maybe there is."
"Yes!" Ye Yiheng responded softly, took her hand, and continued on his way under the moonlight.
If there really is a past life, then there must be an afterlife.
If he can't accompany her in this life, he will accompany her no matter what in the next life, the next life, and the next life after that.

The two of them walked along desolate paths over mountains and ridges. When they got hungry, they sat down to rest and eat some solid food along the way.
From early morning until dawn, and then from day to night, we finally walked out of the capital city and arrived in Linzhou.
They experienced too much in the capital yesterday and haven't rested yet. Today they walked for another day and the two of them urgently needed to find a place to rest.
Linzhou not only has many mountains, but also many forests. Along the way, I rarely see other people.
Finally, they saw a courtyard with lights on at the foot of the mountain. They looked at each other and decided to stay overnight.
Li Yuyan called out: "Is there anyone there?"
Not long after, an old woman came out of the house. She looked at them in the moonlight and saw that they didn't look like bad people, so she said, "What's the matter with you?"
Li Yuyan smiled and said: "We are traveling here, and we are not familiar with the place. We really have no choice but to disturb the old man. Can the old man let us stay for a night? We can pay money."
The old woman thought that there was nothing of value in her home. Seeing that the two people outside Chai Fei were well-dressed, she thought they were not bad people, so she said: "The accommodation is OK, and the money is free."
Hearing this, Li Yuyan said happily: "Thank you so much, ma'am!"
The aunt nodded, opened the firewood door, and led people inside.
When they arrived at the house, with the help of dim candlelight, Li Yuyan saw that although the aunt's clothes were old, they were clean and tidy, and her gray hair was meticulously combed. Moreover, although the furniture in the house was old, it was spotless, which showed that the owner of the house
He is a person who loves life, so he sincerely praised: "My aunt is clean and beautiful, and has a kind heart. You are such a good person!"
The aunt finally smiled: "The girl's mouth is so sweet!"
Immediately he looked at the good-looking young man and woman in front of him and couldn't help but ask: "What is your relationship?"
Almost at the same time——
Ye Yiheng: "Husband and wife."
Li Yuyan: "Brother and sister."
The aunt smiled and her wrinkles deepened: "You are both good-looking, but you don't look alike. The young lady is shy, so she said that we are brother and sister. In my opinion, they are newlyweds."
Ye Yiheng smiled lightly and nodded: "My aunt is right, my wife is shy."
At this time, someone pushed open the firewood gate in the yard, and an old man stumbled in.
Seeing him like this, the aunt stepped forward worriedly: "What's wrong?"
The old man shook his trousers and lifted up a section of his trouser leg: "I was bitten by a centipede."
What caught his eye was the red and swollen calf. Li Yuyan thought that in winter, according to the temperature, centipedes should have hibernated, so he asked: "Old man, today's solar term is not the season for centipedes to be active. Why do you always get bitten?"
Only then did the old man notice that there were two more people in the room and asked, "Who are you?"
The aunt introduced: "They are a couple. They came here and had no place to spend the night, so they wanted to stay here."
Ye Yiheng said: "My husband and I encountered robbers on the road and stole horses and carriages, so we had no choice but to come and stay overnight."
The old man nodded and then explained: "
I have a firewood shed on the mountainside. Normally I can't load the firewood, so I just leave it there. Today it moved, maybe it disturbed the hibernating centipede, and it got stung."
Li Yuyan asked the old man to sit down: "I know some medical skills, can I help you?"
"That's great!" The old man sat on the bamboo chair, bent down and rolled up his trousers, "I'm sorry for bothering you, girl!"
Li Yuyan took out the medical box from the bag Ye Yiheng was carrying, opened it and took out a pair of small tweezers.
Then he squatted down, pulled out the fangs from the old man's small wound, squeezed around the wound to squeeze out the venom, stood up and said to the aunt: "Auntie, clean the old man's wound repeatedly with soapy water or soap, and it will be fine."
"
The aunt brought water for Li Yuyan to wash her hands, and asked doubtfully: "Is it that simple?"
Li Yuyan nodded while cleaning the tweezers and hands: "Yes, you can use a cold towel for a quarter of an hour to reduce the swelling and pain. If it still doesn't work, you can mash Houttuynia cordata and apply it to the wound."
The old man stood up and walked a few steps: "It's not as swollen as before. The girl is really amazing!"
Li Yuyan said: "To be on the safe side, I'd better clean the wound as soon as possible."
"That's right!" said the old man.
In this way, Li Yuyan and Ye Yiheng successfully stayed at this farmhouse.
Because of this little incident, they also had an ordinary and warm farmhouse dinner.
A bowl of pork belly, a bowl of green vegetables, a few taros, and fragrant white rice. This was the most delicious meal the two of them had eaten in the past two days.
Ye Yiheng didn't expect that because of her sweet talk and medical skills, she not only stayed at the farmhouse successfully, but was also treated as a guest of honor.
I have to sigh, it’s great to have her here!
Shortly after the meal, the aunt took Ye Yiheng and Li Yuyan to the empty room.
"Except for the main room and the kitchen, our house only has two rooms. Since you two are husband and wife, you can live in one room."
As he spoke, he pointed to the dark little house in the backyard: "That's a hut. If you go there at night, you need a lamp. There are wild beasts on the mountain. If you go to the hut, your husband must accompany you!"
Hearing this, Ye Yiheng and Li Yuyan coughed lightly at the same time.
The aunt smiled: "There is nothing to be embarrassed about."
After saying that, he turned around and went out. He quickly came back and brought two quilts: "It's cold in the mountains. Covering them with two quilts will keep you warm."
"Thank you, ma'am!" Ye Yiheng and Li Yuyan said in unison.
"I don't believe you if you say you are not husband and wife." The aunt laughed again, "Look, there is such a tacit understanding!"
After the aunt left, Ye Yiheng put the bundle at the end of the bed and said softly: "I'll sleep on the floor."
"How to sleep on the floor?"
Li Yuyan stepped on the ground. The floor of the farmhouse was made of compacted soil, so you couldn't sleep on it.
At this time, he said: "Just make a floor."
She hurriedly said: "No, you already have a cold disease, and there is an injury on your back. The cold air enters your body while sleeping on the ground, and the second and third sons can take advantage of you casually!"
