Chapter 86 Such a red swordsman
"That crazy woman and me? It's impossible. If I get married, this whip will be really scary. Then there is no woman, it's just a man's wife."
"Men's mother?"
"Well..., it's a woman like a man."
"Oh. But she is the princess." Lian Jing nodded thoughtfully and asked Hua Yunqian back.
"My good-n-scene, so what about the princess? I, Hua Yunqian, must marry the person I like in this life, and it is not something that can be controlled by power. Now my plan is to settle down. Otherwise, I will really sleep in the wilderness today and be careful of being taken away by a wolf."
Lian Jing shuddered, as if she was scared by Hua Yunqian.
"Young Master, then I'll go immediately."
Before Lian Jing could turn around, Hua Yunqian called him again.
"What will you do here? When it gets darker, I will send you to the entrance of the village. This is secondary to the exchange of money. Go and change some lard and salt for me..." Hua Yunqian said a lot, and Lian Jing was stunned.
"Young Master, what do you want to do?"
"We always have to make a living. I have already thought of a way to ensure that we can't starve. And there is a lot of money to make."
“What is it?”
"You will know when I'm done." Hua Yunqian wiped the soil on Lian Jing's face.
"Young Master, this..." Although Lian Jing didn't like it a little, he did not refuse.
"You know, I've said Lian Jing many times. Call me Brother Hua."
"Yes, young master, um, brother Hua."
The two have already started playing.
Then Ling Fengting stood up and prepared to set off and continue moving forward.
Although he had already gotten up very early, the old man was still cooking early.
"Old man, it's early."
"Why don't you sleep a lot? It's still early this day."
The morning was already fragrant, completely different from the sweet potatoes and bamboo shoots yesterday. It can be regarded as the best food for grandparents and grandchildren.
"Oh, Ling is used to getting up early. Getting up and reading books is also a way to cultivate one's own character."
"Yeah, that's fine. You go and wash your face. The meal will be ready soon."
"It's my fault." Ling Fengting still saluted politely.
But at this time, Mo Ruo woke up too.
"Grandpa." Mo Ruo looked frowning.
"This kid, why are you joining in the fun? Are you afraid that my grandfather will finish all the delicious food?"
Grandpa and Mo Ruo were joking.
"Don't send me away, okay? I want to stay with my grandfather for the rest of my life. I will definitely get it well in the future. Grandpa is angry."
Deep in Mo Ruo's heart, she always thought that she had not done well enough, and that her grandfather would send herself away when she was upset.
Ling Fengting had already gone to a quieter place to read in the morning. There were only two grandfathers and grandchildren left in the room.
"Child, you are an adult now. Grandpa is old and needs you to support you. But grandpa doesn't want you to stay by your side all your life, he can only serve tea and water. I hope one day you will be successful and fame and grandpa will be grandly taken to support you."
"But grandpa, don't you love me anymore? If I leave, when will I see you?"
"Silly child, how could grandpa not love his grandson? Your parents died early, so grandpa regarded you as the treasure in his heart. I just hope that you will be proud of our Mo family like your father. You must listen to the words of that young master and he will help you."
My grandfather choked up when he said these words, but his love for his grandson was not to keep him by his side, but to have something to do in his life.
"Grandpa, it's better not to leave."
Although my grandfather said so much, he could not speak stubbornly. He suddenly picked up the knife from home and put it on his neck.
"If what I say cannot impress you, then grandpa will die, and if you die, you will have no worries. In this way, you can leave with peace of mind."
Although his approach was a bit extreme, he was helpless. He did not have the ability to give his grandson better in this life. This has always been his regret. However, when he met Ling Fengting in his lifetime, he saw hope. He didn't want him to stay in this bamboo forest all his life, and he should go out and take a look.
Mo Ruo, who was justified, knelt down in front of his grandfather. His eyes were blurred by tears. He understood that he had to go this time. If he disobeyed, his grandfather would do what he said. In this life, he never broke his promise.
"Grandpa, it's better to go. But grandpa must promise his grandson and wait for me to come back. I will definitely pick you up to live in a better place."
Nothing can be more determined in every word, and grandfather never broke his promise, and he would not.
"Okay, it's better for grandpa."
"Grandpa, then you put down the knife on your neck first. No one is more afraid of this."
It is better to go forward and take off my grandfather's knife.
The two hugged each other again.
After some time, Ling Fengting had done almost his homework.
But as soon as I got home, I smelled the burnt smell.
When I stepped forward to look, the chicken in the pot was already black.
Only then did the grandfather and grandson remember it.
"Oh, grandpa. Our chicken." Mo Ruo said, wiped away the tears on his face.
Grandpa stepped forward to check it out and looked at it awkwardly.
"Young Master, what should I do? I want to treat you well."
"It doesn't matter. Just remove the scorched layer outside. The inside should not be broken."
Ling Fengting hurriedly helped to help. If he hadn't left, the old man would have no idea how to stew chicken.
"That's good."
The old man didn't know what to say anymore. The grandfather and grandson had just talked for a long time. If it weren't for this, such a thing wouldn't have happened. After we parted, we don't know when we would meet again. I want to see my grandson a few more times. Ling Fengting could guess everything.
The meal lasted for a long time, and I could finish what I could eat in half a moment. I talked for a few quarters of a minute.
If you are reluctant to leave, you will eventually set off. The old man sent Mo Ruo and Ling Fengting for a few miles. It was not until Ling Fengting persuaded him for a long time that he was willing to leave.
After the two of them set out on the road, Mo Ruo spoke again.
"Brother, where are you going?"
"When you go to the capital, there will be imperial examinations held every year. If you have the chance, you can serve the court."
"Brother, I don't want to do anything to serve or not. It's better to just take my grandpa to enjoy the happiness after it grows better."
For a child in his early teens, this is actually the most real idea. He cannot ask him to have the same ambition as himself. But when he thinks about it carefully, he also has the same point.
In order to get a good fortune, one day I can help my mother avoid being bullied by the eldest princess. It is better to stand up and let my grandfather enjoy the happiness one day. This is the common goal of the two of them. With the same direction, they will definitely support each other in the future.
Although he was just a child in his early teens, he knew he knew everything.
"No, it's a good thing. Then I have to study hard with my brother in the future. My brother will teach you the usual summary and learning methods, and you can avoid detours."
"Thank you brother."
Under Mo Ruo's leadership, the two of them quickly passed through the bamboo forest. The road ahead looked relatively flat, probably the official road. There were more households.
"Brother Ling, I am only familiar with the bamboo forest. I need my brother to help me in the future."
Mo Ruo was afraid that he would go the wrong way and would never find his way home again. He just left the bamboo forest and he carefully reminded him.
"I will call you Xiaoruo in the future. Don't worry. I have a mountain map here. I have specially marked the piece of your house. If you go home in the future, you can use this topographic map to find your way home."
It is better to take Ling Fengting’s topographic map, but this is his first contact, and he can’t understand what the annotations inside represent.
"Brother, no one can understand it."
"It's okay, my brother will teach you how to read and write in the future."
"Brother, I know some. Grandpa taught me my name and some simple arithmetic."
"That's good. Brother will teach you more in the future. Don't dislike me."
"If there is nowhere, grandpa, don't worry about handing me over to you. That's why I believe in my brother. I will still bother my brother in the future."
The two of them always talk a little bit strange, but Ling Fengting knew that sooner or later he would be his good friend. He was trying to get him closer to him. This was his second friend.
Suddenly, he remembered his first friend, Hua Yunqian, who was the mysterious character. He took out the box he once gave him.
"Brother, what does this box do?"
"A friend gave it to me."
"Brother is so popular."
Ling Fengting did not refute, but instead showed a rare smile on his face. The first time he heard someone praise him like this.
The way to this trip was originally to Anle Village earlier, but I lost my direction in the bamboo forest and wasted some time.
The two continued walking on their feet.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Hua Yunqian and Lian Jing had already arrived at the entrance of the village by time, but were just standing outside the carriage, hesitating for a while, and not taking action for a long time.
Hua Yunqian never expected that the lively atmosphere of the Lantern Festival had not yet passed.
At this time, the streets were filled with people.
"Brother Hua, what should I do?"
"This is the best way. We can take advantage of the troubled waters. Let me go with you. It's safer for one to keep watch and the other to buy things."
"But our carriage is too much. There are so many people, I'm afraid it's inconvenient." Lian Jing said his concerns.
At this moment, not far away, Ling Fengting and Mo Ruo were already walking here.
"Then put the carriage here first, and it's not too late to come back after you buy something."
Although Hua Yunqian said this, she was still a little worried. If she went in such a wilderness and lost her carriage and horses, what should she do?
"You guys go, I'll be guarding in the carriage."
At this time, someone was talking in the carriage.
The cart in Huafu is different from ordinary people. It also has shelter from wind and rain. If there is a person hidden inside, it will be difficult to find.
Hua Yunqian was frightened by these words.
"Lian Jing, did you just talk?"
"It's not me. Master, my mouth doesn't move."
"Who will that be, who will be in our carriage? Could it be that the boss's men found us?"
Hua Yunqian recalled the ups and downs for a moment, and unconsciously retreated a little with Jing.
I kept thinking about it repeatedly, and I didn't realize it at all when the carriage got into the carriage.
Lian Jing even went to other places to find something. In a flash, he came back with a few sticks.
"Brother Hua, take this one and defend yourself!" Hua Yunqian was really scared after taking the stick given by Lian Jing. In such a wilderness, such a scene, even the terrifying scenes in the ghost movie flashed through his mind for a moment.
No matter how scared he was, Hua Yunqian decided to use a stick to open the curtain to see what kind of person he was and dared to lie into his Hua Yunqian's carriage.
Just as the curtain was lifted halfway, suddenly the people inside rushed out.
Hua Yunqian was so scared that she didn't fall to the ground.
"I just saved you during the day. Why did you forget this after only a few hours?"
It turned out to be the swordsman in red. Hua Yunqian finally put her heart back in her stomach.
"Oh, it turns out it was you. Why was it in our carriage?"
"I saved you, of course it's a little bit better."
The tone of the swordsman in red was a little contemptuous, completely different from the time of day.
Hua Yunqian's favor for the swordsman in red suddenly fell to a low point. She originally thought she had met a chivalrous and righteous knight, but she never thought she was a greedy person.
"We don't have any silver coins. You saw it today, and you will be caught after eating it for free."
"Is that right? But it doesn't matter. In the afternoon, while resting in the carriage, I heard that you have a way to make money. Why don't you go quickly and think about how to make money and pay it back to me. I don't want much, only one thousand taels, I'll wait for you here. Don't worry, this carriage is so worn, I don't like it. Go and go back quickly."
The swordsman in red looks like a profiteer. He seems to have planned everything long ago.
"One thousand taels, why don't you grab it?" Lian Jing, who was standing beside him, also interjected. This thousand taels is a huge sum of money for two weak scholars who are now clean and honest.
Although her father is rich, since she has already run out secretly, she will not use any more money from her father.
"It doesn't matter. You two are still young. Even if you spend a few cents a day, you will pay it off slowly over time. After all, I am the one who saved your life. Life is always more important than this external thing? By the way, you two have to keep my food and accommodation."
The swordsman in red is getting more and more excessive. He feels like a bad guy who cheats money. Hua Yunqian really can't stand it anymore.
"I'm sorry, we are not suckers. If so, we might as well let the boss lady catch him, and maybe he can become a boss. Wouldn't it be as pleasant as being your invisible father?"
"Little thief, who told you to speak like this?" In an instant, the swordsman in red placed the sword on Hua Yunqian's neck.
Hua Yunqian was really shocked by this action. The ancients' methods were really fierce. It was really difficult to use swords on their necks at any time. However, fortunately, he knew that he would not kill her.
"Then kill me. In this case, you won't get a penny. You will still have two lives to bear. Let's see how you get out?" Hua Yunqian was very scared, but he still pretended to be calm in his face.
"Oh, I have such courage and eloquence. I like it. But it's useless to me, the swordsman in red. If you don't go, I will kill the one next to you first. Then I will slowly deal with you."
Hua Yunqian was a little scared now. It doesn’t matter whether she died or not. After all, she is a time traveler, but if she wants to implicate the people around her, she will never forgive herself in her life.
"Okay, just do what you said. However, you have to pay me some silver first, which is enough cost to do business."
