Chapter 306: Shuanglan's Memories When She Was a Child
Mulan pursed her lips, looked serious, and walked slowly. Her young figure, staggering, seemed to be wounded. Her face was ashen with red marks from her fists, and there was a bruise on the corner of her lips. Of the two small tugs on the head, one has completely dispersed, and the other has also spread halfway, looking a little embarrassed.
The forest in the Tiger Valley is very deep, and the ground is full of intricate old tree roots coiled together, twisting and twisting. Mulan staggered until she reached the woods. She stared wide-eyed, and at last, as if she had found something, ran towards a stout pear tree.
"Hey!" Little Mulan raised her head and yelled at the branches of the pear tree. There was some eagerness and anticipation on her face.
The branches of the pear tree are thick, and the snow-white pear blossoms are blooming on them, and the crisp leaves are even more tender. On this large pear tree, there was a young man resting with his eyes closed, leaning on the top branch of the pear tree. He was slender and somewhat thin, with white, thin cheeks that were slightly sickly.
When he was a teenager, King Lanling was exceptionally silent, so silent that he didn't squeak for a long time, and the people around him would ignore his existence. King Lanling heard a noise under the tree, which seemed to disturb his dreams. He frowned impatiently, turned his head sideways, and went back to sleep.
"Hey! I know you're here, come down! Little Mulan yelled loudly, as if something was important. As a result, there was still no movement on the tree, and Xiao Mulan was anxious, she gritted her teeth, raised her feet, and kicked the tree!
Bang, the trunk of the tree was stressed and shook slightly. The slight shaking on the branches finally woke up the Lanling King completely. He frowned, looked under the tree with an unhappy face, and found that it was Xiao Mulan? He jumped down from the branch with a little anger and landed firmly on the ground, ready to scold Mulan for a while.
As a result, as soon as he landed, Mulan grabbed his arm urgently.
"Oh, here you go!" Mulan hurriedly shoved the small wooden gourd in her hand into his hand.
"Quick, put it away!" Mulan stomped her foot urgently, and she glanced back at this time, as if she was afraid of being discovered. King Lanling looked at Mulan's embarrassment, her nose and face were swollen, her hair was messy, and her face was inexplicable.
"What's going on with you? Have you been bullied by the villagers in the Great Wall again? King Lanling subconsciously took the wine jug and looked heavy. What's in there? He shook it, faintly smelling an intoxicating aroma of wine.
"Nope. No one bullied me. Mulan grinned, the wound at the corner of her lip being torn off. She immediately pursed her mouth in pain, touched the corner of her lips with her hand, and then covered the hot bruises on her face.
"You're lying, look at your blue nose and swollen face, hurry up and tell me honestly! Whoever bullies you, I'll call you back! King Lanling danced his fist and swore with a swear on his face. He thinks that Xiao Mulan is a little stupid, but he can't let others bully.
"No one is bullying me, it's okay." Mulan's eyes flickered, she lowered her head, and her hand silently rubbed her painful face. Seeing her like this doesn't look like being wronged, but a bit like doing something wrong.
"Quick, to be honest, I wouldn't want this thing!" King Lanling deliberately rolled his eyes and raised his hand to make a gesture of throwing it.
"Hey! Don't!" Mulan was so frightened that she quickly raised her hand and grabbed the hand of King Lanling, and glanced at the little wooden gourd. She bit her lip, as if she was fighting fiercely inside, hesitating to tell the truth.
"Hurry up~ I'm impatient to wait!" King Lanling twisted his neck and made a look of looking around. He didn't understand, this little Mulan has always been straight-hearted and simple-minded, is there anything else that is hard to say, do you want to hide it?
Xiao Mulan's watery eyes blinked, stared at her toes for several seconds, and finally spoke, whispering: "Didn't you say last time that you wanted to taste the sweet wine in the city?" Then today is your birthday, I am friends with you, of course I want to give you a gift. ”
"Friends? What friends? I'm an assassin, I've always been alone, who is your friend! King Lanling shouted embarrassedly.
When Xiao Mulan heard this, her eyes suddenly showed an extremely disappointed look, and she whispered "oh".
"Ahem, although I don't have any friends, I still like what you send." King Lanling's face was slightly red, and he said unnaturally.
"Yes!" Xiao Mulan's eyes suddenly lit up, and her expression became brilliant and bright.
"And what's the matter with your injuries?" King Lanling finally opened his mouth and asked about the things he cared about.
"That's... I didn't have the money to buy wine, and I wanted to give you something, so I sneaked into the wine shop, but I didn't expect to be found when I went out..."Mulan's voice became smaller and quieter, her face turned red, and she was embarrassed to confess. She really wanted some sweet wine, but even a little, she went to many wineries in the city, and no one wanted to give a little drink to a little girl in tattered clothes.
Xiao Mulan squatted in the city, thinking about it, and there was nothing to do to make this decision. She probably didn't expect that she would be caught in the end, and she was beaten up because of such a little drink.
"Are you stupid? If you don't have the money to buy it, you don't want it! Why be beaten in vain! Isn't it stupid? King Lanling felt that Xiao Mulan was angry and ridiculous. But he was more distressed and uncomfortable.
"Where is there a white beating! Aren't you happy right now? Xiao Mulan clasped her hands on her waist and puffed out, as if she was very reasonable. King Lanling raised his finger speechlessly and pointed at Mulan's nose, as if he wanted to say something more.
"Alright, Gao Changgong! You don't care, I'm not nice to you, who else is good to you? After Xiao Mulan pursed her lips and finished speaking, she suddenly grinned, and the smile on her round little face was bright and moving. It seemed that she didn't hurt at all, and there was only the joy and satisfaction of King Lanling receiving the gift in her eyes.
At that moment, King Lanling's nose was slightly sour, and his heart was inexplicably moved. Is there anyone in this world who cares about his emotions? He squeezed the small wooden gourd in his hand tightly, and the thoughts in his heart gradually changed.
Mulan, who was standing in front of the wardrobe, looked at the small wooden gourd back and forth a few times, and then unscrewed the lid and sniffed it. It's been so long since I can't smell any wine. There is only the original wood aroma of the small wooden gourd.
Mulan sighed and whispered: "If I had known that I would be beaten, I might as well steal more, and I wouldn't have been beaten wrongfully~"
"Come on, I don't want to see your blue nose and swollen face anymore~" King Lanling finally couldn't help but say. His figure appeared next to the closet, right next to the closet door. He turned his face slightly sideways, staring at Mulan with delicate eyes, and his long lilac hair was scattered on his shoulders, like a cold orchid.
