Yang Che was silent for a moment.

"I confess, I don't have the chivalrous heart of yours. But I chose to follow you because I agree with you. If it weren't for your kindness and helping me for no reason, I might have killed Yang An by mistake, and now I would be in exile. ”

"You're such a person, you can't see death and not save you." When Yang Che said this, he smiled at Lu Zhaoling.

"But I can't bother you...... Today's encounter was something I didn't expect, but I can say for sure that there will be more dangers on my journey to the Western Regions in the future. ”

"Then the martial arts I have practiced since I was a child can finally come in handy." Yang Che grinned, "What's more, following you is my own decision, and I don't need you to be responsible." ”

"Alas......" Lu Zhaoling sighed, "Actually, I still have a lot of things to hide from you...... If you ask me now, I won't be able to tell you the truth. Will you still believe in me? ”

"I know what kind of person you are, and that's enough."

The resoluteness in Yang Che's eyes made Lu Zhaoling feel helpless.

“…… Okay, I got it. She nodded and accepted Yang Che's decision, "But you can leave at any time, I will never blame you." ”

Yang Che didn't say any more superfluous words, just nodded.

Lu Zhaoling's heart was somewhat settled.

But then she remembered something that gave her a headache.

"What about An Nian?"

"If you are going to eradicate the gang of mountain bandits entrenched nearby, you can leave An Nian in Fu'an Township in the next few days, and the rest of the surviving people will come and help take care of them. But when this happens, we must find a stable place for An Nian. Yang Che said.

A safe place to go......

Lu Zhaoling didn't want to, but she was really worried about this matter.

"Sister Zhaoling's side is the safest place to go." An Nian's immature voice suddenly sounded behind the two.

The child had woken up at some point, and was standing by the bed with the corner of his coat clutched.

"An Nian ......" Lu Zhaoling looked at him with pity.

"My mother died last year, and it was the neighbor's aunt who sold me to Ye Ergongzi. I don't have a home to go back to, and I'm a child that no one wants. An Nian's tone was a little cold, his dark eyes looked a little gray, and he looked at Lu Zhaoling fixedly, "Sister Zhaoling, you bought me back, don't you want me now?" Are you going to sell me to someone else? ”

Lu Zhaoling felt a pang in his heart: "I...... Sister didn't want you. It's just that the place my sister is going to is very dangerous, and I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you. ”

"I can take care of myself! I know I'm too young to help, but I'll try to grow up! I will practice martial arts seriously, and in a few years, when I grow up, I can help! Don't just kick me away now, okay? An Nian bit her lip tightly, and although she tried to hold back, she was still heard crying.

Lu Zhaoling looked at An Nian's small body tense, trembling slightly, desperately holding back tears, his heart was sour, he couldn't open his mouth no matter what, and said that he would leave him.

"Alas...... I knew you were going to be soft-hearted. Yang Che sighed on the side.

"Why did you let Sister Zhaoling leave me? You're a bad person! An Nian glared at Yang Che hatefully, waving his small fist and running towards Yang Che.

"Because you're a drag." Yang Che easily restrained him and said unceremoniously, "If you want to continue to follow your sister Zhaoling, you have to be a little more sensible and capable, you know?" ”

An Nian turned his head to glare at Yang Che and refused to speak to him.

"Hmph, it's useless to stare at me. If you play a child's temper again, I will throw you into a mountain where there is no one, dig a pit and bury you in it. Yang Che made a vicious expression and said to An Nian.
