NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 21 A top-notch existence
Ling Xiaoxiao's words stopped Ling Erzhuang immediately. Yes, if the three brothers were redeemed, how should they be settled? Besides, Erya has money, and it's also Erya's money. Although he is her father, to be honest, besides the money to buy some peach cakes, he really doesn't have anything in his hands.
Let's talk about the matter of settling them. Thinking of this, Ling Erzhuang squatted on the ground with some frustration. Ling Xiaoxiao frowned and looked at Ling Erzhuang. She understood the father's thoughts and thought that they were all members of the same clan, but he was I forgot how the patriarch, as the head of the clan, deliberately ignored himself and his wife and was bullied by me all those years ago.
Zhou Yuniang has been consciously deceived by Ling Xiaoxiao during this period, and she has also realized that she has been a bit too cowardly these years. Everything is based on her husband's ideas and she tolerates everything. But what did she get in exchange? Now when she sees her husband Still thinking about helping the patriarch's family, he got a little angry.
"Her father, it is their grandmother who sells them now. This is also a time to show their filial piety. Another thing, although we have some money in our hands, the money is for buying fields and houses in Jiangnan in the future. If we use the money now If you spend it, then our family will have to drink from the northwest wind."
Ling Xiaoxiao saw her mother persuading her father, so she didn't care anymore, but went in with her younger brothers and sisters. Ling Wuya was the youngest, but she was already ten years old. She had no idea about the life in Lingjia Village in the past few years. I still remember clearly that I complained when I entered the house.
"Dad, it's true. The patriarch and his family are not good people. Why do you still want to help them?"
Ling Xiaoxiao smiled. Children are children. In their world view, black is black and white is white. There is never any gray area. However, Ling Sanlang is older and needs to see more clearly.
"Wu Ya, it's true that dad feels a little guilty, but the money is not in his hands, so we don't have to worry. Another thing, after all, dad has lived in that village for decades, and his relationship with the tribe is not what we can imagine. Although we I don’t agree with what Dad means, but as children, we can’t complain about Dad.”
Ling Xiaoxiao glanced at Ling Sanlang. Although she didn't agree with Ling Sanlang's words very much, she knew that she had this idea because she came from time travel. She looked down on the foolish filial piety in the hearts of these ancients, but, she couldn't say that. It's wrong. Being filial to parents is indeed not good for future generations. Although the ancients were a little foolish and filial, the respect children have for their parents is not comparable to that of later generations.
I don’t know how Zhou Yunniang persuaded her in the end. Anyway, Ling Erzhuang got up early the next morning and started to get busy, because they were going to continue their journey south today. Ling Erzhuang went to the backyard stable as soon as he got up early, and first drove Several horses were fed.
After breakfast, the family set off again, leaving Linquan County and heading towards Ganzhou Prefecture.
After driving for several days, we finally saw a stretch of mountains. Ling Sanlang pointed at the mountain road.
“Sister, that’s the Qiyun Mountain Range!”
Ling Xiaoxiao was reading a map. When she heard Ling Sanlang's words, she looked up at the mountains in the distance and nodded.
"Well, that's the Qiyun Mountains, but there are two ways to go. I have to think about which way to go."
When Ling Sanlang heard what Ling Xiaoxiao said, he turned his horse and walked to Ling Xiaoxiao's side. He stretched his head and looked at the map. After looking at it, he pointed at the map and said.
"Sister, why do I think this road is closer?"
Ling Xiaoxiao handed the map in his hand to Ling Sanlang and said.
"This road is closer, but it is a small road, relatively remote, and relatively low in terms of safety, which means that our chances of encountering robbers or wild beasts are much higher."
Ling Xiaoxiao said this just because she wanted to see Ling Sanlang's courage. After all, she had been practicing martial arts for several months. Along the way, she encountered several robberies, and she and Ling Sanlang solved them all. However, the ones in the mountains The beast has never been encountered before.
Ling Sanlang waved his hands indifferently, "Sister, let's not talk about dad. With our two skills, most people can't do anything to us. We are beasts. As long as we are not wolves or the like, I think we can still deal with it. I Let’s just take the small road! From the map, it can save a day. Otherwise, it would take us three or four days to get around this mountain. If we cross this mountain, it will probably take two days.”
Ling Xiaoxiao also nodded, and she agreed with Ling Sanlang's words. In fact, she just looked at the map and was thinking about how to go. Should she walk for three or four days, bypassing the Qiyun Mountains in front of her, or go directly into the mountain from the trail and from the middle of the mountain? Pass through, now Ling Sanlang also suggests the same, then go through the Qiyun Mountains!
"Okay then, Saburo will lead the way. Let's take the small path into the mountain. You lead the way, and I will follow behind. If you are in danger, remember to call me loudly."
The two siblings decided on the route in a few words, which made Ling Erzhuang, who was sitting on the carriage shaft, open his mouth several times. In the end, he was unable to express his concerns. In the end, he had to drive the carriage to follow Ling Sanlang. He walked towards the foot of the mountain behind him.
In the evening, the family finally reached the foot of the mountain, where they would camp today.
"Sister, we were supposed to stay one night in that town, but you have to come to the foot of the mountain and stay one night."
Looking at Wuya who was pouting and complaining, Ling Xiaoxiao smiled and tapped her little nose with her finger.
"You lazy girl, you have only enjoyed a few days of blessings. Are you unable to bear this little pain?"
Ling Sanlang also echoed from the side, "No, if we stay in the town for one night, it's okay. But when we go out early tomorrow morning, it will be noon when we reach the foot of the mountain. Then we may miss the chance to sleep in the mountains at night." You must know that the mountains are very dangerous, but they are no safer than outside the mountains."
Zhou Yuniang, who was packing her luggage nearby, heard the conversation between their siblings and came over hesitantly.
"Erya, look, should we take the main road? After all, when it comes to safety, it's still safer there. It doesn't take more than two days to walk. It's really too dangerous in the mountains."
Ling Xiaoxiao was speechless, but she still tried to persuade him.
"Mom, don't worry! With me and Saburo here, there will definitely be dangers, but the beasts and people that can do anything to Saburo can't do anything to me. You have also seen these days that my martial arts are very high."
Ling Xiaoxiao's words are not bragging. Her power and speed abilities are not just talk. In this world, she should be regarded as a top-notch existence.
