Chen De then asked Xiang Shengcai how to go to Julingzhuang.

Xiang Shengcai was also very enthusiastic, he asked someone to get a pen and paper, and drew a map for Chen De, which was quite detailed.

Chen De took his own list of twenty-seven place names, and a pair later saw that there was indeed Siyuan County on the list.

Judging from Xiang Shengcai's hand-drawn map, Chen De had to cross two counties to reach Siyuan County.

Chen De didn't delay any longer, and after thanking Xiang Shengcai, he said goodbye to everyone and was about to set off.

After the villagers dispersed, the coachman was just about to start when Chen De heard a timid voice say, "Childe, please take me." ”

Chen De frowned, and turned his head to see a girl with dirty clothes and one or two tattered places standing next to the car, her hair wet with sweat and obvious tear stains on her gray face.

After looking at it carefully, Chen De remembered that it was the girl he had saved.

Chen De asked puzzledly, "Why?"

The girl suddenly knelt on her knees and said, "Please take Xinlan in Childe." ”

Chen De jumped out of the car and helped the girl up.

Chen De, who was confused, frowned and asked, "Why do you want me to take you in?"

The girl's eyes were red, tears flowed out, and she cried and told Chen Deshu.

It turned out that before Chen De rescued her, her parents had died under their swords in order to stop the two beastly Dazhu soldiers.

The little girl's surname is Yang, and she is about fifteen years old. There is an eldest brother, who is a layman, and after leaving home a few years ago, he has not returned, and his life and death are uncertain. She also has a second brother, who is now in the Great Yuan Army, and life and death are unknown.

After this incident, she was the only weak woman in the family. And she is a good-looking girl, making a living alone in this troubled world, and her prospects are unpredictable.

After begging her neighbors to help her bury her parents outside the village, she came up with the idea of following Chen De when she passed by Chen De's carriage surrounded by a group of people.

Chen De thought that he was a person who didn't know where his home was, and it was not convenient to take her with him, and this girl could take refuge with her relatives than to follow him.

He said, "You can go to your relatives than follow me." ”

The girl said: "My family is a foreigner in Jinghong Village, surnamed Yang, and has no relatives in the village. The other relatives are far away from here, and I don't know if I can find them. ”

Chen De still frowned and said, "It's inconvenient for you to follow me." ”

Yang Xinlan's eyes became firm at this time, and she said: "My innocence, my life was saved by Gongzi, and Gongzi has a great favor to me." Xinlan is willing to follow Childe to serve Childe. ”

Chen De, who had never encountered a similar situation, felt a little tricky.

He himself was busy cultivating all day long, and he really didn't have time to take care of a girl, and he didn't need someone to take care of him like a young master. It's really troublesome, Chen Dexin said.

Seeing that Chen De was silent, and the sinister coachman who understood that such a young girl was making a living alone, he felt compassion for Yang Xinlan, so he persuaded: "Chen Gongzi, it is very dangerous for a little girl like her to live by herself. Bringing her with you is doing a good deed. ”

Chen De didn't expect the coachman, who usually spoke little, to intercede for the girl, so he pleaded for a moment.

Thinking about the coachman's words, it seems to make sense, and he has a lot of silver taels on hand, so it shouldn't be difficult to settle her.

Chen De said to the girl: "I am looking for someone during this time, I may have to walk a lot of places, I have to walk a lot of roads, and the road will be very hard." If you're not afraid of the hard journey, follow me. ”

What Chen De didn't expect was that the girl didn't consider what he said about the difficult journey, and said directly: "I'm not afraid of hard work, thank you Gongzi for taking it in." ”

Chen De looked a little helpless and said to her, "Get in the car." ”

Chen De instructed the coachman: "Old Liu, let's go." ”

Lao Liu said, "Childe, did you miss something?"

Chen De was puzzled and asked, "What's the matter?"

Lao Liu, the coachman, said: "If the little girl's brother comes home to look for her, how can he find her?"

"Oh!" Chen De suddenly realized, after all, he was young and had little experience in this kind of thing.

On the contrary, it is Lao Liu, after all, he has lived for more than ten years, and he has more experience and insight in this area.

Chen De turned to Yang Xinlan, who was already in the car, and said: "Xiaolan, you go and tell your neighbors that if your two brothers come home to look for you, you can ask them to look for you at the Yurentang Pharmacy in Gule City, Shannan Province, or leave letters and oral messages there, and you can be found." ”

Yang Xinlan just wanted to jump out of the car, but Chen stopped her and said, "Where to find you, can you remember?"

The little girl replied clearly: "Let them go to the Yurentang Pharmacy in Gule City, Shannan Province to find me, or leave letters and oral messages there." ”

Then he looked at Chen De with a pair of clear eyes.

Chen De smiled: "Yes, let's go." ”

Xindao: The little girl is very smart, she only said it once and remembered it.

Watching Yang Xinlan walk briskly towards the intersection on the left, Lao Liu shouted behind him: "Remember to find a few more!"

When the little girl heard this, she turned around, and with gratitude on her face, she replied, "Got it." ”

Then she turned and continued briskly walking in the direction of her house. After waiting for about three quarters of an hour, Yang Xinlan came back with an extra burden on her back.

Lao Liu drove up to meet him. Lao Liu likes this little girl from the bottom of his heart, because he thinks that the little girl is graceful, gentle, and smart.

Since Lao Liu was hired by Chen De, he and Chen De drove through many places together.

There are many dangers on the road, there are big soldiers who rob the road, want to grab the carriage, and the big soldiers who want to forcibly recruit the carriage.

If it was a robber or a Dazhu soldier, he would be almost killed by Chen De. And when he encountered the Great Yuan soldiers who wanted to rob them, Chen De only killed the leader, and let the others go.

When Chen De's sword and sword killed these people, it was really lightning fast.

What particularly impressed Lao Liu was the power of Chen De's bow and arrows, and the reason why the robbers and Dazhu soldiers of those squads were all wiped out was because of this bow.

Old Lyte was surprised that the escapees had already fled out of his sight and would still be shot with this bow.

Along the way, Lao Liu has one more thing to do, that is, to help Chen De pick up the arrows he shot.

For this reason, Lao Liu also had a lot of lives on his hands, because he had to mend the knife for the guy who was seriously injured. Lao Liu didn't feel guilty about this, he thought that these people deserved to die.

Moreover, he liked it a little, and every day when he drove on the official road, he had a hint of anticipation in his heart.

Because, Chen De only took away the belongings of the killed leaders every time, and the rest went to Lao Liu, and Lao Liu had more and more money on him because of this.

Lao Liu thinks that his current patron is not only a top master of martial arts, but also generous enough.

And this little girl did not hesitate to follow Chen De, which is an excellent way to protect herself in this troubled world, not to mention that this master is generous enough.

Therefore, in Lao Liu's opinion, the little girl is very good at finding a backer, and she has found the right backer, she is a smart person, and she is gentle, so Lao Liu likes it.

The few places that Chen De had searched for earlier were all arranged according to location and distance. He found a map of the province of Mirror Lake, marked twenty-seven places on the map, and then planned the route he was looking for in the shortest way possible.

Now, with a clear location, Chen De adjusted his plan, and next went straight to Julingzhuang in Siyuan County.

It turned out that when he was on the road, because Lao Liu didn't like to talk, Chen De was very bored all the way.

Now, there is a young and energetic girl in the car, and the atmosphere is much more lively. When she first got into the car, Yang Xinlan was still a little restrained, but after less than two quarters of an hour, she talked more.

The farthest place Yang Xinlan has been to in previous years is the county seat, so when she knew that Chen De and Lao Liu came from a big city like Gule City, it aroused her great interest.

And Chen De has been wandering around the ancient music city for several months, and he is quite familiar with the ancient music city, and when he introduced her to various places and various walks in the city, it is also the first thing to say.

To say that Lao Liu is more familiar with Gule City than Chen De, so he also interjects from time to time.

After a good start, the three of them talked and laughed along the way. It's no longer boring to travel on the road.

Ten days later, their carriage finally arrived at Julingzhuang.

The village is beautifully landscaped and surrounded by mountains and rivers.

The Xiaoling River on the edge of the village is clear, and you can clearly see the swaying clumps of aquatic plants and the smooth pebbles at the bottom of the river.

There are gains and losses, this sentence is clearly reflected in Julingzhuang.

The proximity to mountains and rivers means that there is not much arable land, so the scale of Julingzhuang is not large, there are only about 100 households, most of them have surnames, and most of them are not wealthy.

Fewer people means it's relatively easy to find someone.

Soon, Chen De inquired that there was indeed an immortal cultivator in the village twenty or thirty years ago.

The village is not large, and Chen De quickly found this family according to the instructions of the villagers.

The courtyard door was closed, and no one could be heard at home.

Chen De stepped forward and knocked on the door, and after a long time, no one answered. Chen De had a bad feeling in his heart, and said in his heart: Something should not have happened.

Seeing that no one answered for a long time, Chen De took Yang Xinlan and turned around and left, preparing to come back later.

He had already descended a small slope, walked nearly 20 zhang away, and when he came to a maple tree with red leaves on all its branches, Chen De, who had good ears, seemed to hear the sound of the door opening behind him, and turned around to see that at the door of the house where he had knocked on the door, there was a middle-aged man in his forties with a bandage on his head.

Chen De hurriedly walked towards him in three steps and two steps, and when he came to him, he hugged his fists and asked, "Excuse me, can the uncle be called Xiang Xuanlin?"

The middle-aged uncle replied in a hoarse voice: "My name is Xiang Xuanlin, not Xiang Xuanlin." ”

When Chen De heard this, there was a door, and he asked with hope: "Dare to ask uncle, do you know Xiang Zheng?"

The middle-aged uncle was startled, his eyes widened, and he said in a hoarse and excited voice: "Xiang is my father!

Chen De's heart was overjoyed, and he jumped up.
