Chapter 242: Qi Yihan’s Past

It was still early after Tang Li finished it, so she and Qi Yihan joined them in cleaning and restoring the stone house.

Qi Yihan built a roof while Tang Li stood below and handed him tools.

In the beginning, Mrs. Guo and the men didn’t let them do it, thinking that they definitely would just do a disservice. They didn’t expect Qi Yihan to be so skillful, and the luggage he brought was very useful. He brought out some tools that could be used for cutting and sawing.

Towards the end, Qi Yihan specially made a wooden bed and a few doors so that everyone could close the door at night.

Tang Li sat on the wooden bed and looked at the man who had taken off his jacket and was only wearing a black short-sleeved T-shirt as he squatted there, making a wooden bucket. Curious, she asked, “Yihan, why do you know about carpentry?”

The longer Tang Li stayed with him, the more surprises he brought her.

Qi Yihan didn’t even look up. He was fixing the bucket with a tough vine. He said, “I was a soldier for three years when I was in high school.”

“Huh?” Tang Li was even more curious.

Qi Yihan continued, “When I was in junior high, I finished all my high school classes. At that time, Father wanted me to go to university while managing the company. I didn’t agree, so instead I went to the army for three years.”

Tang Li held her face and looked at him with admiration. “Hubby, you’re amazing.”

Qi Yihan stopped what he was doing and looked at her.

Then, he retracted his gaze and continued what he was doing. “Someone went to get water. If they come back with enough water, I can make you a hot bath tonight.”

“Awesome~”

Qi Yihan spent more than an hour making a large wooden bucket and a few small wooden basins.

At this moment, the sky was already dark. There was a large bonfire outside the stone house. Mrs. Guo called the two of them from outside the door, “Mr. Qi, Mrs. Qi, there’s a fire outside. If you want to boil anything, just tell me. There’s also food. Do you want to eat with us or eat in the house?”

Tang Li and Qi Yihan walked out.

Qi Yihan said, “Let’s eat together.”

Then, he asked the person who was boiling water, “Where did you fetch the water? I’ll go get some later.”

“There’s a mountain spring in the east. We fetched water there.” The person said, adding, “Mr. Qi, you can just tell us how much water you want. We’re going over there to get water and wash up later, and we can fetch it for you.”

Qi Yihan did not reject it and said, “Thank you.”

“It’s nothing. Mr. Qi.”

He couldn’t help but think to himself, “As expected of a young master from a rich family. His upbringing is really good.”

Everyone ate and chatted with delight. They were talking about military life, so Tang Li and Qi Yihan listened.

After eating, Tang Li set up a field around the village. When she returned, her hot bath was ready.

She soaked in the hot bath with one arm on the wooden bucket and the other hand playing with the water casually as she listened to everyone talking outside.

She knew that her man was sitting by the door of this room, so every time he spoke, she felt that his voice was very close.

Tang Li did not go out immediately after her bath. Instead, she took the time to draw some talismans.

When Qi Yihan knocked and entered, he was not surprised to see a stack of talismans on the bed.

When the two of them were done cleaning up and could finally lie on the wooden bed, Tang Li nestled in Qi Yihan’s arms and said to him, “I’ll look for Yuan Yuan’s soul tomorrow morning. I’ll leave the Kylins with you. If anything happens, the Kylins will save you.”

“No need.” Qi Yihan stroked her hair and said, “I’ll wait here for you to come back. I won’t go anywhere. I’ll be at ease if you bring the Kylins with you.”

“Don’t worry about me. Other than the Kylins, I have a very powerful weapon. No matter what kind of demons or monsters they are, they are not my match.”

As Tang Li spoke, she closed her eyes. She did not sleep well the last few nights, so as soon as she closed her eyes, she fell into her slumber.

Qi Yihan lowered his head to look at the woman in his arms. After a long while, he closed his eyes and fell asleep too.

In the middle of the night, the sudden sound of suona woke everyone up.

Tang Li and Qi Yihan opened their eyes at the same time and quickly got up to put on their clothes.

At this moment, discussions could be heard outside the door.

“What happened? Did you hear the suona?”

“I heard it! I heard it! It seems to be coming from outside the village.”

“If I’m not mistaken, it’s the sound played during weddings.”

“Who’s getting married at this time? And why are they here?”

The more they spoke, the creepier they felt.

“I wonder if Mrs. Qi is awake. Why don’t we call her?”

Tang Li and Qi Yihan opened the door and walked out while everyone was talking.

When everyone saw Tang Li, they quickly surrounded her.

At that moment, the suona sounded closer, making one’s hair stand on end.

Tang Li listened attentively and said to everyone, “Don’t panic. No matter who is outside, they can’t enter.”

After saying that, she took out a piece of talisman and threw it into the air. .The talisman turned into a paper crane. Tang Li said to the paper crane, “See what’s going on outside the village.”

The paper crane spread its wings and flew away quickly.

After waiting for a while, the paper crane flew back and said, “There’s a team coming to pick up the bride.”

Everyone was shocked!

“Could it be the Ghost King coming to pick his bride?”

“…If it’s really the Ghost King, why is he outside the village? Is his bride in this village?”

“How is that possible! Is it possible that they wanted to pass this village but were stopped by the field Mrs. Qi set up?”

Everyone was discussing when suddenly a voice was heard. “Miss Tang, I’ve come to marry you. As long as you come with me, I’ll give you the soul you’re looking for. How about that?”

Everyone was shocked and they subconsciously looked at Tang Li and Qi Yihan.

Tang Li said to them, “Stay here. I’ll go take a look.”

With that, she walked towards the entrance of the village.

However, Qi Yihan grabbed her wrist.

Qi Yihan’s voice was very cold. “I’ll go with you.”

Tang Li turned to look at him. Seeing the murderous aura on his body, she was about to speak when Mrs. Guo suddenly asked, “Mrs. Qi, who’s outside the village? Why did he say that Yuan Yuan’s soul is with him!”

At this moment, Mrs. Guo was very excited. However, when she thought of the conditions that the man proposed, she clenched her fists and resisted the selfishness that welled up in her heart. She said, “If I have to use you to exchange for my daughter’s soul, I’d rather Yuan Yuan stay like this.”

“It’s not as serious as you think.”

Seeing that everyone’s expressions were bad, Tang Li said, “He’s a demon. It’s hard to say if Yuan Yuan’s soul is really with him. Besides…”

At this point, Tang Li looked in the direction of the exit of the village. A strong murderous aura emanated from her body. “No one can be my husband except Yihan.”
