Chapter 119: Xanadu

Counting the days, Xiaowan should give birth, and Ershan can only comfort himself that the family is too busy to take care of the mother and the child, and he can't take care of him for a while.

However, the letter from home did not come, and even Yi's letter naturally could not be delivered, so when he returned to the room and thought about it, Ershan wrote a letter and decided to send the letter directly to Lian Yi, just to ask Lian Yi if he knew what was going on at home.

In the blink of an eye, it has been more than half a year since he arrived in the capital, and all the correspondence between him and Baisha Town was arranged by Ling Chaofeng, and Ling Chaofeng's friends no longer came to him, so Ershan could not get any news.

Although because of the emperor and General Shen, more and more people began to pay attention to him and wanted to win him over, he could rely on a powerful person casually, and he could get connections from those people, and then obtain all kinds of news from afar.

But Ershan didn't want to rely on anyone, he wanted to go to the Xuanzheng Hall with his true talent and learning, and the emperor appointed him as the first champion, and he wanted to stand in front of those people with dignity.

This is his ideal, but in his heart, every family member in the inn, as well as Lian Yi, is more important than his ideal.

He hurried downstairs, asked someone to deliver the letter to Baisha Town, and said to the innkeeper: "If anyone comes to me, please leave them until I come to see me when I am away." ”

And just when his letter rushed to Lizhou Mansion, Ling Chaofeng took Xiaowan and them and settled in the valley.

There are several tiled houses here, where Mrs. Sun and two gray-haired old men from another family live, Ling Chaofeng and his family live in a tiled house, two rooms in the east and west, and Uncle Biao and Aunt Zhang live in the east.

Although the tiled house is small, it is clean and tidy, which can shelter from the wind and rain, and the family lives in it, and it is not too crowded.

Walking out of the door, although surrounded by mountains and unable to see the outside world, there are fertile fields in the valley where crops can be grown and pigs raised, grass on the hillside can be used to raise cattle and sheep, and there are endless fish, shrimp and crabs in the crystal clear river water all year round.

Here, you have to cultivate and harvest everything by yourself, but if you love this purity, it is really a paradise.

Mrs. Sun was naturally sent by Ling Chaofeng, and the other family was originally here.

The fact that this place can be built into its current appearance is that after Ling Chaofeng accidentally discovered this place, with the permission of the two old people, he spent money to take care of it.

Xiaowan asked him: "Xianggong, people outside don't know this place, can't they find this place?" ”

Ling Chaofeng shook his head: "Anyone can find here, but ordinary people won't come, this place is surrounded by mountains, you see that section of the mountain slope is gentle, but further up is the cliff is not high, it is difficult to get out and come in from here, only by water." ”

Xiaowan said, "Other people will also come by boat? ”

Ling Chaofeng said with a smile: "How many people in the world do you think are willing to live in seclusion, and we won't come here if we have to." I came here just to settle down temporarily, to see if the court held me accountable for killing people and setting fires, and to see how Pei'er would grow up. If the court sees that it will let me go in the past, and when Pei'er has grown enough, and no more amazing things will happen, we can still go back outside, so why hide incognito for the rest of our lives. ”

Xiaowan pondered, now that she was pure, she felt very peaceful, as long as she was with her husband, children, and family, she was willing to live in seclusion here.

can recall the life in the inn in the past two years, rushing to the market to go shopping to welcome guests, fighting to help the weak with a hoe, all kinds of strange and interesting things. I know a lot of people, Niangniang, Lian Yi, Su Su, there are many stories, and even the entanglement with Yue Huaiyin, and the quarrel with the Xu family are all part of the day.

But here, all this will disappear, and from now on, every day will be the same.

The quiet days are certainly beautiful, and Xiaowan also said that her wish was that as long as she got rid of Qingling Village and her stepmother, she would be willing to be displaced in the future.

But if you have a choice in life, why not choose a better and more suitable way of life.

Mu Xiaowan is accustomed to the life of the inn, and has regarded herself as a real shopkeeper, "meddling" has become the greatest joy in their lives, and she has become a Jianghu person like Ling Chaofeng.

Standing in front of the house, watching Pei'er scare the chickens raised by Mrs. Sun to the ground, Xiaowan beckoned him and blamed him, while raising her head and looking around, she was willing to spend the rest of her life here, but if she could return to the "world", she was also willing.

When they made a fire to cook at night, Mrs. Sun boiled a lot of water for them, so that Xiaowan and Aunt Zhang could take a hot bath comfortably. After that, he sat in the room to warm up by the fire, Mrs. Sun listened to Aunt Zhang talk about this experience, and Xiaowan hugged Pei'er and fed him to sleep.

After hearing what happened to them, Mrs. Sun looked at Pei'er's head in surprise and said, "I really can't see any horns, in my eyes, this child is beautiful and cute, so likable." ”

Xiaowan said: "He will grow up very quickly, maybe within a month, he will be as tall as us, so I am afraid that he will be seen as a demon outside." ”

Mrs. Sun said with a smile: "What kind of demons, only demons will look at everyone like demons, those people themselves are enchanted first, not people." ”

She hugged Pei'er, who was already sleepy, in her arms from Xiao Wan, and said lovingly: "Such a good child naturally has a background, and even I am fortunate to be able to hug it when I go to the world." I have accumulated virtue like this, and in my next life, I hope I don't meet bad people again. ”

Aunt Zhang asked her, "Are you still used to living here?" ”

Mrs. Sun smiled: "I am a farmer, everything is fine here, but I won't tell you, it is really quiet, I felt quiet at first, but after a long time, I was lonely." So my aunt and I would go out occasionally, and we would go out by boat, and behind these two mountains, there was a town, which I had been to twice. ”

Xiaowan listened quietly, sure enough, it wasn't that she was impetuous, they came from the "human world", not to see through the red dust and transcend the world, how could they be isolated from the world without distractions for the rest of their lives.

As the night deepened, Mrs. Sun and Aunt Zhang went back, Ling Chaofeng came back with a faint smell of wine, and Xiao Wan said angrily: "Have you drunk a lot?" ”

He smiled: "Uncle's own wine, I only think it is sweet and delicious, and I don't want to be full of stamina." ”

Xiaowan got up and saw that her son was asleep, so she quietly crawled over to her husband, felt his warm chest, his ears and temples grinded, and the two gradually became entangled.

Ling Chaofeng also seemed to be temporarily letting go of a matter of concern, being able to put aside everything and immerse themselves in the clouds and rain, and after being happy, they snuggled up to each other and snuggled up to sleep.

Before Xiaowan fell asleep, she vaguely heard her husband seem to say: "Wanwan, we won't stay here forever, I want to give you a better and more stable life." ”

Xiao Wanxin, as long as he follows Ling Chaofeng, it's fine.

Rocking on the boat for a few days, I was finally able to sleep peacefully, the next day at dawn, Xiaowan was woken up by his son, Pei'er was under the complicated gaze of her father, unscrupulously pestering Xiaowan to find milk to eat, anyway, my mother will spoil him.

However, Xiaowan found out today that Pei'er didn't seem to have grown up for a few days, and the clothes and pants were worn when she left Baisha Town, and they haven't gotten smaller until now, and they haven't become heavier in her arms.

Xiaowan stared at her son for a long time, and when he was full, he took it out to show Aunt Zhang, and they also felt that Pei'er had not grown up crazy for a hundred days overnight, but she was drifting on the boat for the past few days, and everyone didn't care if she was not sure.

Aunt Zhang smiled and said, "It can't be any longer, let's take a look in a few days." ”

Xiaowan was stupidly happy: "I still hope that he will be slower and buy some more, I want to hold him for a few more years, I am afraid that he will become an adult overnight, taller than me and older than me, how can I be his mother." ”

At this time, the uncle and aunt were going to dig vegetables in the field, and Uncle Biao went with him, and Mrs. Sun killed the chicken to make up for Xiaowan's body, saying that she had just given birth no matter what, and she couldn't make it up if she didn't make it up.

When eating, Pei'er climbed onto the table and stretched out his hand to pull the chicken leg to eat, was scolded by Ling Chaofeng, stood on the side, and watched pitifully as the adults finished eating, so that he could serve the table.

Xiaowan doesn't protect him at this time, respecting the old and being humble is the most basic thing to be a person, since he can already speak, run and jump, don't do the rules now, and wait until he becomes a bastard in the future.

After everyone had eaten, Ling Chaofeng allowed his son to come over and ask him if he knew if he was wrong and taught him the truth of being a man.

And the elders all left the chicken legs to him, Ling Chaofeng said angrily: "You are still breastfeeding in your mother's arms, what chicken legs and rice do you eat?" ”

Pei'er whimpered delicately: "Daddy, I want to eat." ”

Fortunately, it is a son, if it is a daughter, Ling Chaofeng must not be able to stand the child's coquettishness, and he can't completely harden his heart in the face of Pei'er, and reason with him well, the little guy is very obedient, and finally happily holds the big chicken leg and goes around to show off.

Aunt Zhang cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and said to the little two: "We adults talk and play cards, go to the ground and rummage through them, and the day will pass, and the days are very good." But Pei'er is a little child, it's strange and lonely, I think you two might as well work harder and give him a younger brother and sister. ”

"Auntie!" Xiao Wan Jiao, the little lady is shy.

Seeing her running away to chase Pei'er, Aunt Zhang said to Ling Chaofeng: "If the days are stable in the future, you don't have any baggage in your heart, I think Xiaowan must be afraid that she will have some strange children, but what about the strange, it is all your flesh and blood." ”

Ling Chaofeng said with a smile: In two years, I don't know what will happen now. ”

Aunt Zhang asked, "Will you go out and have a look?" ”

Ling Chaofeng bowed: "I'll go out for a walk tomorrow to see what the imperial court is doing." ”

Aunt Zhang sighed softly: "You have to be careful." ”

In the blink of an eye, a few days passed, and on this day, Mengfu in Lizhou received a letter from the capital, and Mrs. Meng saw that it was sent by Ershan, and sent it to her daughter diligently.

It's just the accident in Baisha County, they also heard about it in Lizhou Mansion, and Mrs. Meng said worriedly: "There is no one in Ling's shopkeeper's family, and he still kills people and sets fires, will this be counted on Ling Zhu's head, saying that his family background is not clean, and depriving him of his fame?" ”
