Chapter 16: Do You Have a Choice?

An Ling stood under the kapok tree for a long time.

Touching porcelain was motionless and unconscious, and her eyes never left it.

Until it got dark, An Ling sighed, picked up the porcelain, turned his head to look at the room with the candle light, and then walked out of the courtyard.

Ziyuan in the house moved to the door and watched the little man leave. A flash of resoluteness flashed on his jade-like face, and then he spread out his clenched hands and returned to the bookcase, scribbling on something.

On the way back to the hotel, An Ling walked quietly with her head down, unaware that someone was calling her.

"Ling'er, Ling'er!"

"Ling'er, what's wrong with you?" Li Zhi stepped forward and touched An Ling's head.

An Ling raised his head and saw that it was Li Zhi.

"Uncle Lee?"

"Huh!"

"What if one day, so many people want me to die?"

An Ling looked at Li Zhi with some godless eyes and said.

Li Zhi touched An Ling's hand and shook it.

"Ling'er, Uncle Li is a soldier, I only know that military orders are like mountains, even if the road ahead is dangerous, I will move forward bravely!"

An Ling looked at Li Zhi's abrupt expression, as well as the solemn erect chest.

"yes, I'm thinking so much now, what's the use!"

"Ling'er!" Li Zhi leaned down and pressed An Ling's shoulder, looking at her.

"In Uncle Li's heart, you are like my daughter, and I will always protect you!"

An Ling looked at Li Zhi and smiled sweetly.

"Uncle Lee, thank you. ”

Li Zhi followed An Ling, who was holding the porcelain toucher, and walked back to the hotel slowly without saying a word.

In the lobby of the hotel, the lights are bright, and a group of people sit at the table in twos and threes to eat.

Seeing An Ling and Li Zhi walking in, the second grandfather put down the chopsticks in his hand, got up and walked over.

"Ling'er, but what's wrong? I can't find you when I go to Liuji Restaurant!"

"Second Uncle Lan, it's okay, I met Ling'er on the road at noon, and the two of us went to see a yard together, if it's suitable, I'll buy it!" Li Zhi said.

At this time, everyone else also came over.

An Ling looked up at Li Zhi and saw him blinking.

"Well, Uncle Li and I went to see a courtyard on North Street, it's very big! I want to buy it, and when we come to town, we can settle down. An Ling said.

Li Zhi nodded with a smile.

The second grandfather glanced at Li Zhi: "Then look at the yard, why does it take so long?"

"When the owner came, he talked about the price again, and if it was suitable, he would buy it tomorrow!" Li Zhi said.

"The price..."

Before the second grandfather finished speaking, An Ling ran to the dining table.

"Phew, I'm starving, I haven't eaten at noon, come on, Uncle Li will come over and eat together. ”

At this time, the second grandfather grabbed Li Zhi and walked towards the door.

"Li Zhi, what happened in the afternoon?"

"Second Uncle Lan, what's the matter? It's just that Ling'er wants to buy a yard, so we went to see it!"

"What kind of yard do you want to buy? It's not that you can't live in it?"

"Second Uncle Lan, don't you know? Recently, there have been a lot of outsiders in this town, and other restaurants and inns are full!"

"Really?"

After thinking about it, the second grandfather nodded again.

"No wonder today, the four people from the store can't find the store to live in!"

"Yes, Ling'er considered that when people from the village came to the town, they couldn't always occupy the hotel rooms, so they asked me to buy a yard. ”

The second grandfather said apologetically at this time: "This is bothering you again, there is not much money in your hand now, this..."

"Second Uncle Lan, those are all borrowed from me! In the future, when the hotel makes money, you can just return it to me." ”

"Okay! That's it, I thought Ling'er went to Liuji Restaurant to make trouble and was arrested, I waited at the yamen for a long time and didn't go in, they closed the door. ”

"It's okay, it's okay, Second Uncle Lan, Ling'er, this kid does things and has his own ideas, you can rest assured!"

"Hahaha, too, this kid is not a loser!"

The two of them said and walked into the store with a smile.

After eating, the workers went home one after another, and the four Jiang Yan brothers and sisters also went upstairs.

"Master, I have already bought the red silk. Wu Qi said at this time.

"Okay, I'll use it tomorrow. ”

"Ling'er, it's not good for the second brother today, you shouldn't cause trouble, don't be angry. ”

"I'm not angry. ”

"Second grandfather, Uncle Wu, Uncle Li, second brother, I'm a little tired today, so I'm going to rest first. ”

After An Ling finished speaking, he returned to the guest room with Feng Porcelain in his arms.

"There are too many things going on today, this day is busy, this kid is always worried!"

"You two, learn more from Ling'er!"

After the second grandfather finished speaking, he glared at An Guo and Lan Ao.

"Second Uncle Lan, I'll go back first, there was an order recently, I may have to go back to the capital, this opening shouldn't be in time." Li Zhi said.

"If you have a task, you have bothered enough over the years, don't worry, my bones are hard!"

"Okay, then let's go back first. ”

sent Li Zhi away, and the three grandparents closed the store.

It is almost the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, and the moon is very large and round.

Under the moonlight, An Ling stood in front of the window.

In the distance, the lofts and houses with slightly warped eaves are lined up one after another, and the streets are deserted, with the occasional flickering of lights.

This scene contrasts the high-rise buildings, neon lights and endless streams on the road in the 21st century......

For a moment, An Ling felt so unreal.

"Are you homesick?"

Touching the crisp child's voice asked.

An Ling hid the confusion in her eyes and lowered her head and walked to the bedside.

"You're awake. ”

"Well, it's weak. ”

"I think the two of us should have a good talk. An Ling took a chair and sat down, looking at the porcelain.

"Well, that's why I decided to let you know the truth. But there are some things that I can't tell you right now. ”

Touching porcelain stood up on the bed, and after a few strokes of her little wings out of thin air, she lay down again.

"Will I still be me?" An Ling asked.

"You are still you, whether you have a phoenix bead in your body, you are still you. ”

An Ling nodded, she seemed to be thinking about something.

"Ziyuan, Uncle Li, Wu Qi, and the emperor, are they all listening to you?"

After nodding her head, she shook her head again.

"An Ling, in addition to emotions between people, there is also mutual benefit, and Mao will wilt to attach. ”

But on these foundations, first of all, you have to be strong so that others will treat you as equals. ”

This is also an equal and mutually beneficial relationship. ”

"I see. ”

"Also, what you've done, that's it, I don't want to owe much to anyone. An Ling said undoubtedly.

Hearing this, she raised her head and looked at her intently.

"You know the memories of my past life, so you also know that I am afraid of death, afraid of dying again, I want to ask you..."

An Ling said this, looking at the porcelain with sad eyes.

"Mighty as you, and the owner of this bead, don't you end up miserable?"

"Do you have a choice? Do I have a choice?"

Touching the porcelain said leisurely, and tears flowed down.

I don't know how long the time passed, until the sky was white, An Ling got up and walked to the window again.

"I died like that in my last life, and too much kindness has not been repaid. ”

"No matter where I go in this life, I will work hard and live well. ”

"So, tell them to stop meddling in my life, and that's it. ”

After An Ling said this, he sighed and turned to look at Touch Porcelain.

"I can listen to you and practice hard, but what the Lan family has given me is a great favor, and I want to repay them in my own way!"

"Okay, I promise you. ”

Bumper replied hurriedly.

"Will I call you Lord Huangyu in the future, or touch porcelain?"

"You can call me Pengci. ”

"That's no difference, why don't you call it Huangyu?"

"No, I can't let anyone know who I am, or I'll be worse than you!" said Boutchi.

An Ling looked at it in disbelief.

Feng Ci'er nodded and continued: "My Phoenix Bead has been shattered after Nirvana, but some of those fragments are still in my body and need to be absorbed little by little. ”

After An Ling nodded, the two looked at it with a shiny eye.

"So, you're a baby now, so if you eat you, won't you become a god?"

An Ling raised his eyebrows after speaking.

"Lan Anling, you're really a villain! you don't think the same thing, do you?"

"Mmmm, I'm still a villain, I really want to drop that!"

"I was just a demigod when I was born, no! Lan Anling, I'm beautiful, right?"

An Ling pursed her lips, looking at the porcelain with her eyes written, I didn't see it!

"Look at you now, your long legs have turned into duck paws, your good crown has become dull hair, and your flat beak ......"

"Smack, ouch, it's just that these eyes are still like black beans..."

An Ling said and walked towards the door, because of the expression of touching porcelain, it was going to explode now!

"Lan Anling, I'm going to kill you...!"

Seeing that she was about to get out of bed, An Ling walked out of the door in a flash and looked back at it.

"Bye-bye, rest well, I'm going to practice on the rooftop. ”

Seeing An Ling leave like this, after touching the porcelain honestly lying down, he laughed out loud.

"Hehe, I read that right, it's so good for you like this!"

An Ling walked to the balcony on the third floor, lifted his hands and feet, and climbed to the roof.

Standing on the roof of the building, the cool morning breeze blows.

In the distance, the sun seemed to be about to jump out as if it couldn't help it.

An Ling took a deep breath, and after exhaling it again, he sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate the Xuanhuang Sutra.

On the official road outside Furong Town, several men raised the whips in their hands and drove five elk carts.

On the car, large pieces of animal skins were spread in the carriage, and the water was swaying out as they went, scattering all the way.

About 20 men, women, and children followed.

"Patriarch, we have to go faster, I don't have much water in this car!" a man shouted.

"Okay, everyone, hurry up, there is the West City Gate in front!"

These people came from Mumian Village, and after Lan Yun and his family rushed back to the village yesterday, the whole village immediately arranged to go out to catch fish and load the truck.

I was busy until it was dark, and everything was ready, and then I rushed to Furong Town overnight.

"When we get to town, let's all behave! Don't make people laugh as if they haven't seen the world!"

Grandpa Lan Baifa's voice was loud and shouted at everyone.

"Hahaha, don't worry, you're old, we're surnamed Lan!"
