Chapter 8 Walking with the Caravan
"Little Marquis, please put me down!" Tie Dun yelled. He looked down at about three meters. If he fell, he would definitely turn into a meat pie. He was too frightened.
"Stay where you are and reflect on where you went wrong!" Su Jingxian stopped and picked up the piano again.
Children from aristocratic families will always do something elegant so that they can attract the attention of girls in the future.
"Little Marquis, can you please stop playing? It's too unpleasant. I want to go back to the capital, and I want Yin Dun to come over!" Tie Dun shouted rudely.
He just wanted to annoy Su Jingxian by kicking him back to the capital, replacing him with that sap from Yindun, and staring at him with the same sap, the young Marquis.
"It's late, I just like to stay with you now." Su Jingxian felt how happy it was to make Tiedun uncomfortable, and his mood was much better after being disturbed by Leng Yingchun.
That kid looks pretty good, at least his martial arts skills are not inferior to his. He couldn't be someone sent by Leng Yingchun, right?
Su Jingxian suddenly had this idea and stopped playing the piano.
Did she find a new love so soon?
Tiedun climbed down the tree cautiously. When he saw Su Jingxian's brows relaxing and frowning, and when he saw his hands grabbing him, he felt bad and quickly ran away for fear of being hurt.
Sure enough, he had not run very far when the strings of his piano were torn off by Su Jingxian.
He whispered, "What is she doing?"
Leng Yingchun clasped her hands and prayed that Leng Yinghuan would be alright. Leng Yinghuan jumped down from the distant roof, jumped in front of her and climbed up the window.
"Where did you go? Why did it take so long?" Leng Yingchun asked Leng Yinghuan. When she saw the scars on his face, she was a little surprised, "Why were you injured? You didn't know that there was still poison in your body, so you wanted to fight with someone.
, in case the poison comes out again, you..."
Leng Yinghuan hugged Leng Yingchun, drowning her voice in his arms.
"He can play the piano and his martial arts skills are better than mine. You will like him!" He whispered.
"What did you say?" Leng Yingchun didn't quite understand what Leng Yinghuan meant.
"It's nothing!" Leng Yinghuan let go of Leng Yingchun and felt relieved when he saw that she was by his side. He had more opportunities than Su Jingxian.
"You went to see Su Jingxian and had a fight with him?" Leng Yingchun told Leng Yinghuan his itinerary when he sat down.
"No, no!" Leng Yinghuan shook her head, "I just went out to get some air, and when I met someone I didn't like, I gave him a good beating."
"Who won?" Leng Yingchun was sure that Leng Yinghuan was causing trouble for Su Jingxian.
"Do you still need to say it? Of course I won!" Leng Yinghuan's eyes dodge.
Just now he said that he had great martial arts skills, and now he said that he had won. It was really trying to cover up the truth.
Leng Yingchun didn't want to hit Leng Yinghuan, so he sat down and wiped the wound on Leng Yinghuan's face.
"I heard that there is a caravan next door and they are going to the ocean to seek new development. Let's go tomorrow to see if they are willing to take us with them."
Leng Yinghuan nodded, "I listen to you, hey, that guy hit me pretty hard."
Leng Yingchun didn't reply. He looked out the window and seemed to see Su Jingxian's figure in the distance.
He is a noble young marquis, but she is a little-known peasant girl running away from famine, so she is not a good match at all.
In this case, just treat him as a passer-by in life, start your own business, and benefit the people.
Leng Yinghuan noticed Leng Yingchun's strange appearance and asked in a low voice, "What are you thinking about?"
"Oh, if you follow me, you may endure a lot of hardships, but you may not be able to achieve anything. Compared with your development in the world, you will become a great master at any time and become a blockbuster."
Leng Yingchun didn't know what the future would be like, so he let Leng Yinghuan make a choice.
Leng Yinghuan was adopted by her master when she was very young and has been traveling in the world for more than ten years. Only she knows the sadness in her heart.
He also wanted to settle down and not wander around forever, so he made a guarantee.
"No matter how hard or tired I am, I can bear it."
Leng Yingchun did not hesitate, and brought Leng Yinghuan into the space, brought water and food inside, and told him not to talk nonsense, lest people outside discover his existence.
Leng Yinghuan was helpless. She felt like a young girl who had not yet left the court. She was shameful and looked forward to getting out as soon as possible.
In the dead of night, Leng Yingchun could hear the call of the watchman on the street, and slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep.
In the early morning, the door to the next door opened, and Leng Yingchun also opened her eyes. Since she was sleeping in her clothes, she just tidied her hair and went out.
"Brother, are you going to the south? Can you take me with you?" Although Leng Yingchun knew that these burly men in front of her might be dangerous to her, in order to get to the south as soon as possible, she could no longer care so much.
At worst, when she discovers danger, she can escape into the space at any time.
"Little girl, the south is sparsely populated and full of wilderness. How will a little girl like you survive there?" the big man reminded kindly.
He also saw too many people flocking to the south because there were wastelands everywhere, and because the weather was changeable. It was clear that the sky was clear, but it would rain heavily in the blink of an eye.
The thatched houses couldn't withstand the baptism of the torrential rain. It rained heavily outside and light rain inside. Many people couldn't bear it and returned to their hometowns. The worst was a place relatively close to their hometowns.
"Brother, just take me there, life or death depends on my life." Leng Yingchun was not at all worried about not being able to survive in the south.
"Okay, I'll take you there!" The man was very kind.
"Thank you, brother!" Leng Yingchun was extremely grateful.
After eating breakfast, Leng Yingchun bought some daily necessities nearby and put them in the space, then left with the caravan.
When they arrived at the city gate, the man handed the general who was guarding the city something like a document, and the general who defended the city let them leave.
After Leng Yingchun inquired, he found out that Da Yu State still liked the caravan, so even if they did not have enough troops, they would not capture the caravan members and send them to the army.
After getting on the carriage brought by the caravan, Leng Yingchun felt much more comfortable no longer having to walk, and without Leng Yinghuan nagging her in her ears.
There are quite a few female relatives in the caravan. When they first saw Leng Yingchun alone and such a young child, they knew that she must have experienced a lot of difficulties. They were afraid that saying anything more would trigger her sadness, so they searched for her along the way.
, dare not speak too much.
Leng Yingchun couldn't bear the fact that the eldest sister who was called Xiugu kept staring at her, so she took the initiative to ask, "Auntie, is my face painted with gold?"
"Haha, Yingchun, we have gotten to know each other along the way. You can just call me Xiu Gu like them. This is too polite." Xiu Gu was embarrassed.
Seeing that Leng Yingchun had a good temper, she walked over cautiously and sat next to Leng Yingchun, "Yingchun, you look quite young. Aren't you afraid of going to the south alone?"
After Xiugu asked, she felt it was inappropriate and quickly explained.
"I don't mean any harm. Don't think too much about it. Our caravan also picked up a few girls who were fleeing for safety. They all traveled together, and they had someone to look after them on the way."
"Originally, I escaped with everyone, but after various changes, I was left alone. I didn't know where to go. I heard that the environment in the south was good, so I went there to have a look." Leng Yingchun thought about it.
say.
"Where did you hear that? Those people will definitely lie to you. I often follow my boss through the south. Whenever I go there in spring, I feel very troubled." Xiu Gu seemed to dislike the south.
"Xiugu, have you lived there? Do you really know it there?" Leng Yingchun smiled slightly. In her opinion, the south has a pleasant climate and beautiful scenery, which is much better than the north where there is currently a famine.
"I don't know if it's bad!" Xiu Gu's confidant elder sister was possessed, "Yingchun, you are alone anyway, so just follow us to the ocean to have a look, and when you come back, come back to the north with us. I believe that the famine will be over by then.
, or you can stay at my house."
"Thank you, Xiu Gu. I have other things to do when I go to the south. I will definitely have the opportunity to go to the ocean with you to see the world in the future." Leng Yingchun said casually.
"You, a girl, have arrived in that barbaric land in the south. What if you encounter bandits?" Xiu Gu covered her mouth after speaking, "I don't want to curse you for encountering bandits."
Leng Yingchun thought Xiu Gu was very funny, so she came up to her and said, "I met bandits on the road and was arrested. They wanted to sell me to a brothel."
"Ah? I really encountered bandits. Then, how did you get out?" Xiu Gu was very worried.
Her frightened voice attracted many people. They all looked at Leng Yingchun with worried eyes, and even suspected that the little girl had run away from the brothel.
"Haha, I lied to you!" Leng Yingchun smiled slightly, "Look at my dry figure, where is the person the brothel needs?"
They finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that she didn't have any symptoms but was quite safe.
These people were just passers-by, and they might not be able to meet him in the future. Leng Yingchun did not dare to say more, for fear that those people would suspect something.
Leng Yinghuan held the jade ring in his hands tightly. He believed that Leng Yingchun had been captured by bandits.
He would never let her experience pain again.
With the caravan as our protection, the journey forward was very smooth, and we also spent the New Year and ushered in the spring halfway.
"In ten days we will arrive at Lucheng, which is the southern area where the most people live. Yingchun, if you want to make a decision, just go there." The caravan eldest brother gave Leng Yingchun a suggestion.
"Then put me down there." Leng Yingchun is not picky, as long as he can settle down, he can do it anywhere.
"I have a friend in Lucheng, his name is Lin Shen. He is a barefoot doctor who treats people. If you have any difficulties, go to him. He is quite famous in the local area and you can talk to him." The caravan eldest brother took pity on Leng.
Yingchun is lonely and helpless, so give her a direction.
"Thank you, brother!" Leng Yingchun burst into tears. It was not easy to meet someone who was kind to her in another world.
"When you make a lot of money in the future, you must treat us to a meal when we come back." The caravan eldest brother teased.
"It's easy to talk!" Leng Yingchun didn't know what would happen in the future, so he just said it casually.
They walked for another three days and saw more and more pedestrians, including many strong men.
"Don't they have to worry about being captured and made into young men?" Leng Yingchun was a little confused.
The eldest brother of the caravan caught a passerby and asked about the situation, and then came back and told him the situation.
"It is said that the young Marquis Su Jingxian wrote to the Marquis, saying that arresting young men is not conducive to the agricultural development of the dynasty, and asked all regions to dispatch local guards to support the border. The imperial court agreed and issued an order for the young Marquis to recruit officers and soldiers from various places.
Let the people be quieter."
Leng Yingchun was very excited after hearing this. It seemed that Su Jingxian had great power and could speak for the imperial court.
"Of course the young marquis has great power. The queen is his aunt, and the prince is his cousin. In order to stabilize the prince's position, the young marquis used the prince's name to donate rice and provide disaster relief, and also dealt with corrupt officials."
The caravan eldest brother took the initiative to answer Leng Yingchun's doubts, and Leng Yingchun nodded slightly.
"Yingchun, the young Marquis has nothing to do with us. Just listen, but don't have fantasies about him like other girls, so as not to fall into it." Xiu Gu saw that Leng Yingchun was thinking wildly, so she took the initiative to persuade her not to take it too seriously.
It's over.
"Xiu Gu, I am self-aware and will not have any thoughts about the young Marquis." Leng Yingchun promised.
"That's right, to welcome the Spring Festival, when you marry in the future, you must marry someone who understands both coldness and warmth. Don't focus on other people's money, and don't be treated as a concubine. The price will be profound." Xiugu, as an experienced person, reminded Leng.
We must be pragmatic in welcoming the Spring Festival.
