Chapter Five Hundred and Eighteen Ning Family
Su Wanmiao had just come to her senses, but before she could speak, Du Bai answered first: "Let's go, leave early, arrive early!"
Su Zhirou and Ying'er sat in another carriage. This sister-in-law is more sensible now, at least she won't cause trouble for him. She is really considering her sister's happiness.
Du Bai naturally wanted to seize this rare opportunity.
However, a long-distance carriage like this is not a good place to talk about love. After all, the two of them became tired after saying a few more words, especially Su Wanmiao, who was still a mortal body, was very tiring in the work he had prepared these days. After leaving, he talked to Du Bai for a while, and then he couldn't hold on to fall asleep gradually on his shoulder.
In this noisy and uncomfortable environment, ordinary people may have nightmares to sleep, but fortunately, Du Bai has a unique skill. It is enough for her to give her some breath, which is enough for her to have a good sleep and to clear her previous fatigue.
Du Bai felt the sweet and shallow breathing of the people around him, and it seemed that he was sleeping very peacefully. He turned his head and put it against his head, and could still smell a few nice fragrance between his hair. There was a comfortable smile on the corner of his mouth.
Unlike the big scene where the immortals, gods and ghosts fight against the Nightmare Dragon King, there seems to be only warm and sweet companionship here. Although it may be plain, it makes him feel a sense of real intimacy.
...
After a few days of traveling like this, the convoy arrived at the entrance of a small village as Du Bai told him.
This village sits backed by the mountain. Although it looks not rich from the outside, it is considered as the people living and working in peace and contentment. There are no monsters and ghosts, but only a simple and rural atmosphere.
"Is this the hometown of Ning Caichen?"
Du Bai walked out of the carriage and looked at the scenery in front of him.
To be honest, it is not far from Lanruo Temple. If it is at the speed of a ghost, it may be possible to arrive in half of the time.
It’s a pity that because of my shame, I couldn’t come back here to take a look.
Hearing some chirping noises of children, he turned around and saw that at this time, a few children who had noticed the convoy coming from outside were running here and watching excitedly.
After all, this place is remote, and it is extremely rare to have rich caravans like this, especially those handsome tall horses. Every move makes the children who have only seen small rural donkeys exclaim, with very envious eyes.
Du Bai's heart moved, and he squatted down and took out a few candied haws, handed them to them and shook them. Seeing their almost greedy drooling look, he couldn't help but ask with a funny question: "Little guys, are there any families named Ning in your village?"
He didn't know what Ning Caichen's relative was named, so he simply used this method to find it. It was simple and crude but effective.
"Yes!" Unexpectedly, these children rush to answer, "Many of us have the surname Ning!"
Seeing that Du Bai saw that the scope was wide, he changed his question: "Do you know Ning Caichen?"
A few children looked at me and I looked at you, and they all shook their heads with confusion.
Du Bai was a little disappointed when he saw this, but it was not too surprising.
After all, Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian are people from more than a hundred years ago, and it is unlikely that these children who are still playing in mud pits at the age of five or six will know.
Until an old man with white hair came out to see the situation with the child, he heard this question, and couldn't help but look up at him in surprise, and tremblingly leaned on a crutch and asked two steps forward: "Young Master, are you looking for Ning Caichen?"
"To be precise, I'm looking for Ning Caichen's relatives."
Seeing that the other party was obviously a little informed, Du Bai couldn't help but be happy and explained.
The old man sighed after hearing this: "Ning Caichen... I haven't heard this name for decades. I've seen it in the genealogy. I wonder what the young master is going to do with the Ning family?"
"A friend asked me to bring some things over and take care of his descendants."
The old man looked at his eyes carefully, not like he was lying, but he believed it a little. He nodded slightly and said, "If this is true, it would be a good thing. You may as well come with me..."
"It's a labor!"
Du Bai gave the candied haws to the children who were already looking forward to it and quickly followed.
However, there were Su Zhirou, Xu Zhiyan and others who followed each other.
The reason why Su Zhirou followed her was for the words "Ning Caichen" I heard just now!
"Wait, is there really Ning Caichen? You didn't make up that story?" Su Zhirou was a little unbelievable and followed him and kept asking.
She recorded the story of the Ghost Story of the Chinese Girl word by word according to Du Bai's oral words. These two names that made her unable to help but worry about for several days sounded particularly amazing at this time!
"Of course it's true. When did I tell that story was fake?" Du Bai was a little funny, and then seemed to be insincere. "Not only Ning Caichen, but even Nie Xiaoqian is really the case!"
"Really all?" Su Zhirou slowly opened her eyes wide, looking confused as if she was suspicious of life. Then she looked around carefully and asked him in a low voice, "Is that Nie Xiaoqian a human or a ghost?"
"Even if it was probably human at the beginning, it was a human from more than a hundred years ago, and now it has become a ghost." Du Bai smiled helplessly, "It's like Ning Caichen,..."
As he was speaking, the old man had already brought him to a somewhat dilapidated wooden house, and then sighed: "Young Master, Ning Caichen's brother lived here at the time. Although his descendants followed his instructions to study poetry and books, they never gained anything because there was no decent school or teacher in our village."
"I still remember someone once mentioned that Ning Caichen's brother was not as good as his younger brother, so he devoted all his energy to cultivating his younger brother, hoping that he could stand out and glorify his ancestors. Ning Caichen was indeed intelligent. He could read ten things at a glance and memorize them like a stream of knowledge. He was a rare little scholar."
"Who knew that Ning Caichen later gave up the exam for a woman who could not give birth, and even stayed away from his family to protect the woman. He never heard back for decades. Although his brother regretted it too much for this matter, it was a pity that he could not find it all and eventually died like this."
"Is there such a thing in the past..."
Du Bai nodded slightly, stepped forward and knocked on the door: "Is anyone here?"
As footsteps came, the shaking wooden door opened from the inside, and a young man who was still determined in his ripped clothes appeared in front of him.
"Who are you looking for?" Seeing that there was a rare strange man outside the door, the young man couldn't help but feel a little confused. After seeing the old man leading the way, he quickly bowed with gratitude.
