Chapter 23: Midnight Sneak Attack! 3

023 Mistakenly provoked the secret palace, sneak attack in the middle of the night! (3)

Leng Ning pondered over the silk for a moment, but did not think of the meaning of these four lines of poetry. Naturally, he could not figure out what the signature meant, but the feeling of drunkenness had slowly surfaced.

Yawning lazily, she lifted the silk to the lamp, ignited it, and threw it to the ground. She watched until all the silk turned into dust. She went out to close the courtyard door, looked around carefully, and then returned to her room to sleep with Tianci.

That night, I was tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Suddenly I thought of Lin Feng, sometimes of that snowy night, and sometimes of the murderous masked man in the valley.

Early the next morning, the two of them got up early. Leng Ning rushed to the village chief's house first and told him about Lin Feng's early departure. Naturally, he ignored those unnecessary things and then went to Li Jiufu's house at the head of the village to take out his clothes and prepare them.

The good loose silver was saved by frugality over the years, and I asked Aunt Li to use it to treat her eyes.

No matter what the "father and son" said, the three members of the Li family were willing to accept it, but they kept refusing, and the money bag accidentally fell on the ground.

Aunt Li's daughter Qing'er hurriedly picked up the money bag and sent it back to Leng Ning, "I know Uncle Leng is a good person, but we really can't accept this money!"

"Forget it, you won't take it if you don't want it!" Leng Ning pretended to take the money bag from the other party's hand and took Tianci's little hand beside him, "Since you three are so outspoken, Tianci and I will never bother you again.

Guys, our two families will end our friendship!"

Qing'er knew in her heart that she did it on purpose. She was so moved that she burst into tears. She grabbed Leng Ning's sleeve and knelt on the ground, "Uncle, don't leave. We will accept the money. We will accept it!"

Aunt Li and his wife also came over and wanted to kneel down with her.

Leng Ning was not willing to accept their kneeling. He hurriedly helped the three people up and said with a smile, "Isn't this right? We are a family. There is no need to be so polite. Uncle Li, hurry up and hitch the donkey cart. Let's hurry up."

If you go into the city late, you may have to walk at night when you come back!"

Li Jiufu wiped away tears and went out to hitch the donkey cart. Qing'er went to prepare dry food and water. Leng Ning and Tianci helped Aunt Li out, who had her eyes covered with a cloth bandage.

Qing'er stayed behind to look after the house, and the four of them got on a donkey cart and rushed to Yujia Town, the nearest large town outside the mountain, to seek medical treatment.

Tianci rarely left the village, and he was very excited along the way. His little mouth just kept chattering, making the three adults laugh from ear to ear, and the journey became a little less boring.
