Chapter 25 Planning to go with the Lan family
Lan Yanhang's actions made Ling Xiaoxiao recognize this person. No matter what his purpose was in saving them, it was a fact that he saved them. They came to thank him, which shows that this person is still good at dealing with others. .
Lan Yanhang and his wife Manniang, who stood up following Ling Erzhuang's hand, looked at Ling Xiaoxiao and said.
"I didn't expect that the heroine is really a woman. If the heroine sister and brother hadn't taken action today, my whole family would have been killed here."
Ling Xiaoxiao waved her hand with a smile, "No need to be so polite, I'm just taking precautions. My family saw these things here today, with those people's urine...oh no, with the way those people dealt with things, I'm sure They want to kill us to silence them, after all, we saw them killing people."
Ling Xiaoxiao didn't expect that she almost spilled the beans, and she also brought the mantra from her previous life with her. She quickly looked in the direction of her mother, and when she saw her mother's angry and helpless eyes, she suddenly smiled.
As a farmer, Ling Erzhuang didn't notice these aspects, but Lan Yanhang and his wife heard what Ling Xiaoxiao just wanted to say from her words. They wanted to laugh, but they couldn't. , had to lower his head and pretend not to hear.
After finally holding back his laughter, Lan Yanhang thanked the Ling family again and presented the gift he had brought. After Ling Erzhuang declined, he accepted it seemingly helplessly.
After seeing off Lan Yanhang and his wife, Ling Erzhuang sat beside the carriage and softly talked to Ling Xiaoxiao about Lan Yanhang's request when he saw off Lan Yanhang and his wife.
"Erya, Mr. Lan just told me that he wants to go with us tomorrow, but I said we probably have to go through the mountains. I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to walk on the mountain road."
Ling Xiaoxiao thought for a while and said, "Father, mother, Master Lan just wants me and Sanlang to protect them, but it's not impossible. But Dad, do you know where Master Lan and the others are going?"
Ling Erzhuang heard the meaning of Ling Xiaoxiao's words and said, "They are going to Yongzhou, which is located on the north bank of the Mingjiang River. It would be a good choice for us to follow them to Yongzhou."
Ling Xiaoxiao has already seen Yongzhou from the map. To be honest, this place is a bit like the Jingzhou area in the previous life. Although it is not south of the Mingjiang River, it is still very good there. After thinking about it, he said.
"Dad, you have to know that if we follow Mr. Lan and the others to Yongzhou, we will probably encounter many assassinations along the way, just like today. Are you afraid? And mother, are you afraid?"
There is a reason why Ling Xiaoxiao asked this. If his parents are afraid of danger, then he will take them into the mountains to walk. Although it is dangerous, he can guarantee that he will take them out of the mountains safely. If they want to follow Ling Xiaoxiao naturally has no objection to Master Lan going to Yongzhou.
Firstly, it was because Mr. Lan invited me. Although the purpose was not pure, I could refuse it. If I didn't refuse, it would be because I was very confident in my and Sanlang's martial arts. Secondly, my family had arrived in a new place, and the place was unfamiliar to them. , you always need some acquaintances, right? Mr. Lan’s in-law family is in Yongzhou. Looking at Mr. Lan’s background, I think it’s not too bad to come to that in-law family. I don’t want to climb a high branch. I just have a local to look after me. When the time comes, I will be a family. It’s easy to adapt to the new environment quickly in Yongzhou.
"Since dad wants to follow Mr. Lan, let's go to Yongzhou with Mr. Lan tomorrow! But dad needs to be prepared. We will probably experience a lot of assassinations on the rest of the way. Dad still finds time in these two days. Practice your sword skills well, and I will leave my mother and little sister to you to protect them."
It's not that Ling Xiaoxiao is cruel. If he wants Ling Erzhuang to truly stand up, he must put pressure on him. Besides, he and Sanlang are still there, so his mother and sister will not be hurt.
After the matter was settled, Ling Erzhuang went to the Lan family's camp, where Zhou Yunniang looked at Ling Xiaoxiao and said hesitantly.
"Erya, are we really going to follow the Lan family? If we enter the mountains and pass through them, won't we be in danger?"
After listening to Zhou Yunniang's words, Ling Xiaoxiao knew that she was still hesitating.
"Mom, it is very dangerous to go into the deep mountains. There are many wolves, tigers, leopards, bears and so on in the mountains. Needless to say, there are dangers. There are also many dangers."
After hearing what Ling Xiaoxiao said, Zhou Yunniang no longer thought about crossing the mountain. Not long after, Ling Erzhuang came back and said that she had made an agreement with Mr. Lan. If they reached Yongzhou Mansion safely, the Ling family's household registration and resettlement would be settled. All the land was left to him. It turned out that Mr. Lan's uncle was the general magistrate of Yongzhou Prefecture, so these things were all casual matters.
Ling Xiaoxiao knew that she had made the right bet, so that after arriving in Yongzhou Prefecture, her family would not be bullied by others because they had no relatives. Although Ling Xiaoxiao was not afraid, these things should be avoided if possible, and no one wanted to go around talking to others. Enmity isn't it?
After the matter was settled, Ling Xiaoxiao drove everyone to bed. They would start their journey early tomorrow morning, so it would be better to rest early.
The rest of the night passed peacefully, and when the sky turned bright, Ling Xiaoxiao called out to Ling Sanlang and Ling Erzhuang.
"Dad, Sanlang, little sister, please get up. The three of you need to go practice martial arts. Mother also has to prepare our breakfast."
As soon as Ling Xiaoxiao finished speaking, Ling Erzhuang and Ling Sanlang stood up and walked out. They each held a spear and a broadsword in their hands and started playing in the open space beside them.
Ling Xiaoxiao looked at her mother's tent and walked directly in. Looking at her mother who had already stood up and Ling Wuya who was still sleeping soundly, she directly picked her up and left the tent. This made Ling Xiaoxiao, who was arranging her clothes, The corners of Zhou Yunniang's mouth twitched fiercely.
When did my Erya start to become so rude? She no longer looked like a girl at all, and acted like a man. But thinking that since Erya became like this, her family could finally live a comfortable life without the old couple, so she smiled. Xiao Xiao walked out of the tent and started preparing breakfast for the family.
When Ling Wuya was carried out of the tent by Ling Xiaoxiao, the morning was quite cold. She woke up with a startle. She looked down and realized that she was flying in the air without even touching the ground. She was shocked and just thought When he was about to scream, he heard his eldest sister's voice.
"If you scream, I will throw you into the mountain right now. Did you hear the howling of wolves from the mountain last night?"
Hearing the eldest sister's words, Ling Wuya quickly covered her mouth with her little hands and shook her little head like a rattle.
