Chapter 6: All the way to the west
After a day of stay in Donglin Town, a gray-haired old woman drove the carriage out of this quiet border town in the early morning of the next day.
Aunt An had red eyes, looked at the girl in the carriage that was gradually moving away, and kept waving her hands, reluctant to give up.
An Lingsu sat in the carriage covered with thick cotton pads, and waved vigorously to her mother who wanted to continue to follow, and her eyes were also red, "Mother, go back quickly." It's inconvenient for Daddy to be at home alone, and he still needs you to take care of it. ”
Aunt An's tears rolled down immediately. "Su Su! When you go out, you can take care of yourself. ”
Yesterday, Lord Zhou, the county guard, suddenly sent someone to say that in order to make up for the dissolved marriage contract, he wanted to recommend Su Su to study at Qingyi College.
It's naturally a good thing to be able to go outside to study and gain knowledge. What's more, even she, a peasant woman, knew that Qingyi Academy was the best academy in the entire empire.
It's just that...... Aunt An's heart is always a little reluctant.
This is the meat that fell from himself.
An Lingsu looked at her mother's crying red eyes, and couldn't help but shed tears.
She waved her hand at her mother and shouted, "Got it, mother." I will take good care of myself, and you and Daddy can rest assured at home. ”
The carriage went farther and farther, and it was so far away that she couldn't see her mother's figure, but An Lingsu's eyes were completely confused.
For more than two years, she thought that she had fully integrated into this time and space, and had accepted her current identity, but this farewell scene still made her think of a lot of things.
The last time she went to school, she was eighteen years old, and when she boarded a plane that people in this world couldn't understand at all, she was extremely lonely in her heart.
Her mother, who had not shown up for many years and had already remarried and had children, only paid her all the expenses for four years of college at one time. And her father, who only knows bad gambling and spends 360 days a year hiding gambling debts, doesn't know where it is. ---- probably, he didn't even know about her admission to college, right?
An Lingsu smiled and blinked, and completely hid the nostalgia and sadness in the bottom of her eyes into the deepest corner of her heart.
Perhaps, everything in the previous life was a dream I made.
Only what has been lost can be cherished, and only what cannot be lost can become more and more precious. Therefore, when An Lingsu opened her eyes and found that she had entered another world, became a different person, and had some unique abilities, she was not surprised, but accepted it calmly.
Her name is An Lingsu, so she can be at ease.
For more than two years, An Lingsu has been staying in this town with peace of mind, enjoying the love of her parents and the family affection she had never received in her previous life. She knew that because of the time-travel, she had some special abilities, but she didn't have the idea of leaving the house to see the outside world and do something earth-shattering.
The carriage went all the way to the west, An Lingsu lowered the curtain of the window, sighed quietly, and leaned on the cushion in the carriage.
What happened in the past two days has given her some new understanding of this vast new world.
Daddy's injury really has little to do with the Zhou family, and for that marriage, she also has to get 10,000 taels of silver as compensation.
However, why did that Lord Zhou insist on sending someone to send her to the best school in the empire?
An Lingsu knew that all of this might have nothing to do with the young man who suddenly appeared in front of him that day.
Thinking of this, An Lingsu couldn't help but sigh silently.
Originally, she enjoyed the life in this small town now. However, with the appearance of this carriage, it was the destruction of her peaceful and peaceful life.
Although she did not know the identity of the handsome and earnest-looking young man, it was clear that he had a necessary connection with the carriage.
"Qingyi Academy, what kind of place will it be?"
Thinking of the carriage that had not been drenched in a drop of rain in the heavy rain that day, An Lingsu's face suddenly had a strange look.
Then she lifted the placket of her waist and took out a small axe from her waist.
The blade of the axe, sharpened and glistening.
This small axe is the axe she uses to chop wood in the backyard on weekdays, and it is also the weapon that her mother stuffed her for self-defense before going out this time.
She took the glittering axe, hid it under her sleeve, and quietly lifted the curtain of the car in front of her.
The old woman who drove the car had gray hair, but she was meticulously combed. At this moment, the old man sitting in the front of the car with his back to An Lingsu seemed to be dozing.
An Lingsu looked at the old woman silently for a while, and then closed her eyes and sat quietly in the same place.
Then, with her eyes closed, she "saw" herself with a look of curiosity and expectation, holding an axe and silently slashing at the old woman's back.
Immediately, with a "huh!", the air around the carriage suddenly became solidified, and the old woman sitting at the front of the carriage did not seem to look back, but An Lingsu's heart suddenly contracted violently, and a chill instantly permeated her whole body, making her breathing suddenly suffocate.
Then, when she was about to suffocate to death, she flew out of the carriage again, tumbling and falling into the grass beside the road, panting heavily, as if she had been crushed.
Such discomfort made An Lingsu couldn't help but open his eyes.
She patted her chest slowly, panting as if everything she had just seen had really happened.
However, in fact, she knew that she had been sitting in this carriage all along.
After half a ring, An Lingsu finally took a breath, looked up at the old woman who was still in front of her, and muttered to herself, "It turns out that there are really legendary martial arts masters in this world." ”
The old woman seemed to hear her talking to herself, and couldn't help but squint and look over.
What's wrong with this kid? Why is his breathing so much shorter?
"Granny Zhang, are you a martial arts master?Or, are you an immortal?Can you fly to the sky or kill people with an imperial sword?" In the surprised gaze of the gray-haired old woman, An Lingsu smiled flatteringly, pretending to be cute and playfully asked such a sentence.
"I don't know what you're talking about. The gray-haired old woman squinted at her for a long time, then turned her head to look ahead, and said helplessly. "Who in this world can fly to the sky......"
An Lingsu, who did not receive an answer, was not discouraged, but quietly stuck out his tongue.
Don't worry, the coming day is long.
This journey is lonely, she doesn't believe it, with her ability, she can't get this Granny Zhang's words.
An Lingsu put the self-defense axe back and leaned on the cushion in the carriage, she looked at the old woman in front of her and smiled.
Who would have thought that this old woman who sits in the front of the car and dozes off from time to time, looking harmless to humans and animals, will be a rare martial arts master?
In the drizzling rain, the carriage, which seemed to have happened but nothing had happened, made its way all the way to the west, moving slowly.
