Rebirth: Traveling To Ancient Times As A Companion Reading Chapter 25

Skip class

The riding and shooting assessment takes place in an open horse training field.

Joey deliberately found a remote place far away from the horse training ground, just so that he could examine the wounds on Heipa’s body more carefully.

Pushing the hair on the black handkerchief’s hind legs aside, Joey touched it lightly.Before he exerted any force, Hei Pa almost jumped up in excitement.

“Meow!”

It hurts!

Looking at the reaction of the black handkerchief, Joey guessed that the injury had damaged the bones, and there was a high probability that it was already broken.

Joey looked at Hei Pa’s obvious pained expression and felt helpless. The entrance and exit controls of the Imperial Academy were very strict. It was impossible for him to take Hei Pa out at this time. And with his current status, without Lou Ling, he was not qualified to ask the imperial doctor in the Imperial Academy to treat his cat.

What to do?

Joey turned around and looked around. It was very remote and deserted. There was nothing, even a few branches were hard to find.

Joey had no choice but to find a corner to hide the black handkerchief while he went elsewhere to find something that could fix the broken bones.

Hei Pa lay on the ground, looking at Joey’s retreating back, opened his mouth and shouted, then simply gave up on himself and lay down like a pancake, not wanting to move again.

After leaving, Joey kept wandering around. He was not familiar with Taixue, so he could only follow the route in his memory to find places with more trees.

Finally, Joey accidentally found a ginkgo forest along a path.

It is now October when the ginkgo leaves turn yellow and fall, and the ground is already covered with a layer of golden ginkgo leaves.A few rays of sunlight penetrated through the dense forest and fell on the leaves, shining with a bit of dazzling golden light.

It was a beautiful autumn scene with golden sun and ginkgo trees, but Joey didn’t have any intention to appreciate it at this time. He just wanted to find the branches quickly and go back to save Hei Pa.

Joey walked into the ginkgo forest, and the thick layer of ginkgo leaves on the ground made a crisp sound, which seemed to be particularly abrupt in this quiet forest.

He thought that after finding a forest, he would soon be able to find a branch for Black Pa to fix his broken bone. However, Joey had already walked deep into the forest without knowing it, but still couldn’t find a useful branch.

Joey looked around, “It’s really weird, how come I can’t even find a usable branch?”

After walking a few steps further, Joey found that he had come to a wall. This was the end of the ginkgo forest, but he still found nothing.

“Forget it, let’s look elsewhere.” Joey turned around and left.

But the moment Joey turned around, his eyes caught a glimpse of a courtyard blocked by a towering ginkgo forest.

Joey was surprised. He turned around and observed carefully, only to find that the yard seemed to be not far away. Didn’t he see it just now?

Even if there is a ginkgo forest in Taixue, there are still people living in this forest?

Joey was a little curious. He took a few steps forward and approached the yard, only to find that the door of the yard was ajar.

Joey tentatively pushed open the ajar door, and the courtyard hidden behind the door came into view.

The yard is not big, but it is clean and tidy.There was a wicker chair in the middle, and a table next to it. A book was spread out randomly on the table, and a pot of tea was brewing beside the book.The heat of the tea had not dissipated, and the rising water vapor formed a white mist in the air.

There are people living here, Joey decided.

So Joey stepped back and knocked on the door three more times.

But after waiting for a long time, no one came out of the house.

Joey felt strange and put his head in again, wanting to find out again.But as soon as his head passed the door, a hand suddenly patted Joey’s shoulder from behind, followed by a question, “What are you doing sneaking around here?”

The sudden movements and questions startled Joey, and he immediately broke into the yard without stopping.Fortunately, Joey reacted quickly enough and managed to stabilize his body before falling.

Joey turned around and looked at the person behind him who made the noise, only to find that he had seen the person in front of him and knew him.

Fang Qingzhou looked at Joey’s dumb look, twitching his lips without saying anything. He stepped into the yard, turned around and closed the door, then walked straight past Joey and walked in.

Only then did Joey react, looked at Fang Qingzhou’s back, and asked, “Do you live here?”

Fang Qingzhou seemed to have heard some nonsense, turned around, looked at Joey up and down, said nothing, and continued to walk towards the recliner.

Joey: “You actually live in Taixue?”

Fang Qingzhou had already lied down on the chair again, picked up the book on the side, and poured himself a cup of tea, “Yeah.”

Seeing Fang Qingzhou’s casual movements and words, Joey was speechless.

But although Joey was silent, Fang Qingzhou still had something to say.He poured another cup of tea and motioned for Joey to come over, “How did you find yourself here? Or are you alone, where is the cat?”

Joey was not polite. After struggling for so long, he was already thirsty. He walked over, picked up the tea cup and drank the tea in one go.

Seeing Joey drinking heavily, Fang Qingzhou put his head on one hand, put down the book, and poured Joey another drink.

After Joey was almost done drinking, Fang Qingzhou continued: “Tell me.”

Joey: “Heipa’s leg is broken. I wanted to find some hard wooden sticks to fix it. I found it and ended up here.”

Fang Qingzhou: “What about the cat? Where is it?”

Joey: “I’m hiding, waiting for me to go back.”

Fang Qingzhou nodded: “What kind of branches do you want?”

Joey: “Do you have it here? I’ve been looking outside for a long time but can’t find it.”

Fang Qingzhou stood up and took Joey towards a hut, “Of course you can’t find it, because I picked up all the fallen branches.”

Joey: “Did you pick it up yourself?”

Fang Qingzhou: “Otherwise?”

Arriving at the hut, Fang Qingzhou opened the door and motioned for Joey to go in and find it himself, “Go and get whatever you want. But don’t make a mess.”

Joey looked at the neatly arranged branches on the entire wall of the house. He looked back at Fang Qingzhou and then at the house, a little in disbelief, “You come back from class every day and don’t do anything else but just pick up branches?”

Fang Qingzhou only felt that Joey was making a fuss and sneered: “I don’t have to go to class. I have so much free time every day. I have to find something to do for myself.”

Joey: “Aren’t you a student at Taixue?”

Fang Qingzhou: “It was before, but not now.”

Joey didn’t understand and wanted to continue asking.But Fang Qingzhou didn’t seem to want to say anything more, turned around and left, leaving only one sentence, “Remember to close the door for me after choosing.”

Joey looked at Fang Qingzhou’s back and felt strange, but he didn’t think too much. He had to get the things quickly to save Hei Pa.

When he walked into the house, Joey discovered that there were not only branches forming a wall, but also a bookcase filled with books, placed next to it. However, he had only seen the branches covering the wall and did not notice that there was also a bookcase here.

After glancing at the bookcase, Joey walked to the other side with a clear purpose.

After finally finding a few usable ones, Joey straightened up and turned around to see that the entire wall of branches had begun to tilt, almost collapsing.

Holy shit!

Joey’s eyes widened. He just pulled out a few branches. Isn’t that serious?

Shocked, Joey still had to deal with it. If he did fall down, he would be the one hit.

With all his body and mind fighting against the wall of branches that was about to fall, Joey didn’t notice that a long branch had knocked down the books on the bookcase next to him.

After Joey finished tidying up the branch wall, he turned around and saw a book falling on the ground.

“What is this?” Joey bent down and picked up the book, looked at the indigo book cover, and read out the title, “”Historical Records of Dayong”…”

Before Joey could take a closer look, Fang Qingzhou’s voice came from behind.

“What are you doing?”

Joey turned around and saw Fang Qingzhou turning back at some point. He was leaning against the door frame with his hands folded and looking at him.

Joey was still holding the book in his hand and noticed Fang Qingzhou’s eyes on his hand. He explained: “I accidentally dropped it, and I was just about to put it back.”

Fang Qingzhou also saw clearly what the book in Joey’s hand was. He stretched out his hand and said, “No need to put it back, give it to me. It just so happens that I have almost read the book in my hand now.”

Joey did not give him the book immediately. Instead, he looked at the book in his hand and said, “Can I borrow this book from you?”

“Borrow a book?” Fang Qingzhou seemed to have heard something particularly strange, “You can go to school in Taixue, so why is this book missing from your home?”

Joey: “I’m just a reading companion. And my family is in Jiangzhou, so I don’t have that condition.”

“Oh?” Fang Qingzhou became interested when he heard this. He straightened his body and motioned for Joey to come out first, “Go over and talk.”

Fang Qingzhou poured Joey another cup of hot tea, “Are you Prince Rong Hua’s companion?”

Joey: “So be it.”

Fang Qingzhou paused for a moment, raised his eyebrows and said, “Really?”

Joey: “Well…if you think a person who has just been enlightened can be qualified for this position, then I am.”

“Just enlightened? Not long ago?” Fang Qingzhou stopped completely. “How old are you this year?”

Joey: “Eleven is in a month.”

Fang Qingzhou looked Joey up and down and said, “I can’t tell, you are still a playboy.”

“…”

Joey tried to defend himself, “No, I…”

However, before the explanation could be uttered, he was interrupted by the movement outside the courtyard door.

Joey followed the sound and looked out the door, his head filled with questions. Who would find this place in such a remote place?And it sounded like there was more than one person.

Fang Qingzhou obviously heard the movement and put away the obscure smile on his face.He turned his head and glanced at the hot tea on the table, and said in a low voice, “Why are you here again?”

“What?” Joey heard Fang Qingzhou talking, but didn’t hear clearly.So he turned around and asked, “What did you just say?”

“It’s nothing.” Fang Qingzhou didn’t explain too much, but raised his chin and nodded towards the back room, “You go in first. It might be a mess here later.”

Joey: “What do you mean?”

Fang Qingzhou: “That’s right…”

Before the words are finished, the next moment.

“Bang!”

The courtyard door was violently kicked open by people outside.

What followed was a group of chaotic people, still shouting something.

Fang Qingzhou looked at the group of people with a cold expression, as if he was used to it.He turned his head and looked at Joey, who was stunned on the spot, and said helplessly: “I originally wanted you to hide for a while, but it seems a bit late now.”

Joey couldn’t hear what Fang Qingzhou was saying next to him. He was frozen in place now, purely because he saw the orchid grass embroidered on the shoulders of those people’s clothes, and… the black cat they were holding in their hands.

How come the black handkerchief is in their hands?
