Ye Chen nodded lightly: "Okay, thank you for your hard work."
...
When Wu Feiyan's plane landed in Melbourne, Ye Chen and Lin Wan'er's plane had already taken off from Jinling Airport, heading for Lijiang, more than a thousand kilometers away.
When the plane took off and flew all the way west, Lin Wan'er completely lost her previous liveliness and playfulness.
She leaned on Ye Chen's shoulder for a while, and then her eyes seemed to be out of focus, staring out the window.
Ye Chen could sense that something was wrong with her and understood her current state very well.
After all, in this world, no one is more suitable for the four words of being close to home than she is now.
A little girl who has been away from home for more than three hundred years is now finally on her way home. Anyone else would sigh in their hearts.
More than two hours later, the plane landed at Lijiang Airport.
When she got off the plane, Lin Wan'er's legs felt a little weak unconsciously.
When she held Ye Chen's arm, Ye Chen could clearly feel that she put a lot of weight on him, presumably because she was not strong enough.
So he took the initiative to reach out, supported Lin Wan'er, and took her all the way out of the airport.
Outside the airport, Ye Chen rented an SUV using the false identity prepared by Chen Zekai for himself. Then he removed the driving recorder in the car and drove straight to Dali Shuanglang with Lin Wan'er.
After driving away from the airport, Ye Chen asked Lin Wan'er beside him: "Have you been to Lijiang before?"
"Been here before." Lin Wan'er said: "After my mother passed away, my father sent the slave family to my grandparents' house in Dali. At that time, the slave family came here with my grandmother, but only once."
As she spoke, Lin Wan'er sighed: "Three hundred years ago in southern Yunnan, the road had to go over mountains and ridges, and they were all small and mountainous roads, which were not easy to walk. Coming to Lijiang was already a long journey."
Ye Chen couldn't help but ask her: "Didn't you agree to change your title? Why did you change it back again?"
Lin Wan'er said softly: "Back in southern Yunnan, the slave family seems to have gone back three hundred years ago, to the days when the slave family was a maid at the home of my grandparents..."
After saying that, she added: "There are only the young master and the slave family in the car. The slave family is still used to talking to the young master like this."
Ye Chen nodded and asked again: "Did you always live with your grandparents in those years before you took the Evergreen Pill?"
Lin Wan'er said: "Grandpa left early, and later he and grandma depended on each other. Fortunately, my grandfather's ancestors had always been one of the many chieftains in southern Yunnan, and his family was relatively well-off, so his life in southern Yunnan was relatively good since he was a child. Before my grandfather passed away,
He also taught me how to read and write, and I learned a lot of knowledge and principles."
As she spoke, Lin Wan'er looked out the window and said with great emotion: "Grandpa had five children. Except for my mother who died of illness, the other four died while fighting against the Qing court. Later, Wu Sangui bloodied the four anti-Qing martyrs.
None of my uncle's descendants are spared, and my grandfather's family will be completely without descendants. Otherwise, if the slave family comes back today, there may be a few relatives left..."
