C119 (1/2)
After some time, when the Xiaowan was about to be born, Ershan could only console himself. It was because the family was too busy taking care of their mother and children that they couldn't take care of him right now.
However, if the family letter did not come, Lian Yi's letter would not be sent either. After returning to his room, Ershan pondered for a while, then decided to send the letter directly to Lian Yi. He wanted to ask Lian Yi if he knew anything about his family.
In the blink of an eye, more than half a year had passed since his arrival at the capital, and all of the correspondence between him and the Baisha Town had been arranged by Ling Chaofeng.
Although because of the Emperor and General Shen, more and more people started to pay attention to him and try to rope him in, he could rely on any noble or powerful person to get connections from those people and obtain all sorts of information from the distance.
However, Ershan did not want to rely on anyone. He wanted to rely on his true skills and walk up to the Announcement Hall.
This was his dream, but in his heart, every single person in the inn, and even Lian Yi, were more important than his dreams.
He hurried downstairs and got someone to send a letter to the Baisha Town. As he faced the innkeeper, he said: ”If anyone comes looking for me, when I'm not here, please leave them waiting for me to see them.”
Just as his letter was heading towards the Li Prefecture, Ling Chaofeng had already settled down in the valley with Xiaowan and the others.
There were a few tile-roofed rooms, where Mrs. Sun and two white-haired elderly men lived. Ling Chaofeng brought his family to live in a tiled room, with two rooms in the east and one room in the east.
Although the tiled rooms were small, they were neat and tidy. They could block out the wind and rain, and even if the family lived here, they wouldn't feel crowded.
Walking out of the door, although it was surrounded by mountains on all sides and the outside world could not be seen, there were fertile fields in the valley that could be cultivated for pig farming. There were grass on the hillside that could be farmed for cattle and sheep.
In this place, everything had to be cultivated and reaped by oneself. However, if one loved this peace and quiet, it was truly a paradise.
The Mrs. Sun was naturally sent over by Ling Chaofeng, and the other family was originally here.
Being able to build this place into its current state was something that Ling Chaofeng had unintentionally discovered, and with the permission of the two elders, spent money to manage.
The Xiaowan asked him, ”Master, the people outside do not know of this place. If we can't find this place, it is right?”
Ling Chaofeng shook his head: ”Anybody can find this place, but normal people wouldn't come here, it's surrounded by mountains, although the slope is slow, but if you look up the cliff, it's impossible to see the top, it's very difficult to leave and enter, you can only go by the water.”
Xiaowan said, ”Other people will come by boat?”
Ling Chaofeng laughed: ”How many people do you think are willing to hide in seclusion in this world? If we had no other choice, we wouldn't have come here. He came here to temporarily settle down, to see if the imperial government would pursue the matter of me committing murder and arson, and to see how Little Pei will grow up. If the imperial government were to give me a hand in the past, after Little Pei has grown old enough, nothing surprising would happen anymore. We can still return to the outside world, there's no need for us to hide our names for our entire lives. ”
Xiaowan pondered. Now that everything was quiet, she felt peaceful, as long as she was with her husband and children, she was willing to live in seclusion.
However, thinking back on his two years in the inn, rushing to the market to buy and sell, helping the strong and helping the weak, all sorts of strange and interesting things happened. He knew a lot of people, including the Empress, Lian Yi, Susu, and many other stories that had happened, even the conflict with Yue Huaiyin, and the fight with the Madam Xu, they were all part of the story.
But here, all of this will disappear, and from now on, life will be the same every day.
Although peaceful days were good, Xiaowan had also said that her wish was to just get rid of her Qingling Village and stepmother.
But if life can choose, why not choose better, more suitable for their own way of life.
Mu Xiaowan had already gotten used to living in the tavern, and had already treated herself as a genuine internal manager. ”Being nosy” had become the greatest joy in their lives, and like Ling Chaofeng, she had already become a person of the martial arts world.
Standing in front of the door, he saw that Little Pei had scared the chicken that the Mrs. Sun was raising flying around. The Xiaowan called out to him to reprimand him, at the same time, she raised her head to look around.
When they were lighting a fire and cooking at night, Mrs. Sun boiled a lot of water for them so that they could have a comfortable hot bath. After that, he sat in his room and heated up the fire while the Mrs. Sun listened to the story of the Aunt Zhang.
After the Mrs. Sun finished listening to what had happened to them, he looked at Little Pei's head in surprise and said, ”I really can't see any horns. In my eyes, this child is beautiful and cute, he's too likeable.”
The Xiaowan said, ”He will grow up very fast. In less than a month, he will be as tall as us, so I'm afraid that others might think of him as a demon.”
Mrs. Sun laughed: ”What monsters, only monsters will look like monsters. Those people are the first to be possessed, they are not human anymore.”
She took Little Pei, who was already sleepy, from the Xiaowan and said lovingly: ”Such a good child naturally has a background. When I walk around the mortal world, even I am fortunate enough to have a hug. ”With all this kindness, I hope that in the next life, I won't meet any bad people again.”
