Chapter 141: Jiang Tongcheng, Xiao Family
"Let's go!"
Xu Anping stretched out his hand.
Mo Linglong held the package in one hand, stretched out with the other, and was pulled to the horse by Xu Anping.
The package was picked up by Xu Anping when he had just collected the body, and it contained all the property left by Mo Haochen.
Mo Linglong sat in front of Xu Anping with the package in her arms, maybe it was the sticky blood on her body, or maybe she was not used to getting along with strangers, she tensed her body and didn't say a word.
Xu An calmly drove his horse and walked slowly along the road.
It's late afternoon.
The two came to a small town, Xu Anping took Mo Linglong to buy two sets of clothes, and then opened two rooms in the inn, and asked Mo Linglong to take a bath and change clothes by herself.
Xu Anping also changed his clothes, directly threw away the bloodstained old clothes, ordered a sumptuous meal, and let the shopkeeper enter the room.
When Mo Linglong came out after changing her clothes, the two sat in the room and ate together.
"Tomorrow I will pass by Xiqu City, there are several sects nearby, if you want to join the sect, I will take you there, or if you don't want to join the sect, I will send you to Xiqu City, and then you can find a way to live by yourself."
Xu An said indifferently.
Mo Linglong was stunned, blinked her eyes blankly, and then said, "I want to enter the sect." ”
Although she didn't know whether it was good or bad to enter the sect, it was better than living alone in the unfamiliar Xiqu City.
After eating, Xu Anping asked Mo Linglong to return to his room, and he silently crossed his knees to cultivate.
Mo Linglong, on the other side, sat lonely on the bed, clasped her knees with her hands, and kept replaying the scenes of the day in her mind.
Sadness, despair, all kinds of emotions came back to her heart, she couldn't help crying, until late at night, she fell asleep unconsciously.
Following.
Gentle sunlight spreads over the earth.
In an unknown inn.
"Daddy! Dad, don't go! ”
Mo Linglong opened her eyes abruptly and sat up from the bed suddenly.
She had a few strands of wet hair on her forehead, her clothes soaked with sweat, and her eyes were full of horror and sadness.
After gasping for breath a few times, she looked around in confusion and remembered where she was now.
"Daddy......"
Mo Linglong muttered in a low voice.
The sadness in her eyes slowly dissipated, replaced by a look of determination.
"Father, I will live well according to your last wishes, and I will also become very strong, and I will kill those bandits, and I will not let any of them go!"
Last night, in addition to her sadness, she was also thinking about her future plans, which she had never thought about, but now, her father is gone, her home is gone, and she has to think about her own life.
Overnight, she seemed to have transformed, no longer being innocent and naughty, and her mind became much more mature.
Originally, she actually complained a little about Xu Anping in her heart, thinking that Xu Anping obviously had the strength to easily crush the audience, but she didn't help, which led to her only watching her father and family die together.
But later, she figured it out.
The other party is not obligated to help her or her father.
Being able to help herself bury her father, and also bring herself to the town, and prepare to send herself to the sect, this is already a great kindness, and she is not qualified to ask for too much.
After breakfast, the two continued on their way.
Along the way, the two remained largely silent.
Regarding Mo Linglong's tragic experience, Xu Anping did not mean to comfort, there are many such things in this world, if he doesn't have a strong enough heart, he will help it in vain, it is better to let the other party sort out his emotions.
He took the other party to the sect, and it was already a great help to protect the other party's safety on the way.
It was afternoon.
Xu Anping stopped at a certain mountain road, pointed to the majestic mountain in front of him, and said:
"According to the map, this should be the Cangyu Gate, do you see the gate at the foot of the mountain? You'll go over by yourself later. ”
Mo Linglong looked in the direction of Xu Anping, and sure enough, she saw a mountain gate looming behind the trees in the distance.
"Okay, thank you, big brother."
Mo Linglong nodded and said seriously: "By the way, big brother, can you tell me your name?" You have helped me so much, and I will definitely repay you in the future! ”
Xu Anping jumped off the horse.
Jumping down with Mo Linglong in her arms, she didn't answer her words, but pointed to the package she tied to her chest and reminded:
"You are a powerless little girl, with so much money, you are likely to bring disaster for yourself, so you had better find a place to hide before entering the mountain."
Mo Linglong looked down at the package on her body and seemed to understand what Xu Anping meant.
She raised her head again and said earnestly:
"Thank you big brother for reminding me, I'll hide it, before that, can big brother tell me the name?"
"No need."
Xu Anping turned over his horse, flicked the reins, and slowly left from the fork in the road.
Mo Linglong silently watched his back go away little by little, as if she wanted to keep his figure and appearance firmly in mind.
It wasn't until Xu Anping's back disappeared that she found a less conspicuous spot nearby, buried the package under a big tree, and carved a simple smiley face logo on the trunk.
Then he went to the Cangyu Gate that Xu Anping just said, and after some assessment, he became a disciple of the Cangyu Gate.
……
The other side.
Xu Anping rode his horse leisurely as before, moving forward unhurriedly.
He didn't take Mo Linglong's matter to heart, nor did he take the treasures that Mo Haochen said before to heart.
Everything he does is do whatever he wants, if he doesn't want to save it, he won't save it, if he wants to save it, he can save it, there is no reason, and he doesn't need a reason.
In the face of this chaotic world, Xu Anping has no idea of changing, he just wants to be detached and have personal strength that is not limited by rules.
On the rest of the way, he encountered two more groups of bandits, and after slaying them all as usual, he continued on his way as if nothing had happened.
Another day passed.
Xu Anping finally came to the vicinity of a mountain range, that is, Jiangtong City, where the Xiao family was located.
Although it is located in the middle of nowhere, Jiangtong City is not a big city, but there are still a lot of pedestrians coming and going at the gate of the city.
Xu Anping led the horse slowly along the crowd, wandered around the street for a while, and after finding an inn to store the horses, he asked the location of the Xiao family and looked for it.
As a thousand-year-old family, the Xiao family lives in a small city in a remote place like Jiangtong City, and in the years of development, it has already extended its influence to all aspects of Jiangtong City, and has managed the entire city like an iron bucket, including the city lord of Jiangtong City is only the children of the Xiao family.
When Xu Anping, an unfamiliar face, inquired about the location of the Xiao family and walked slowly over there wearing a weapon, someone immediately reported the news to a steward of the Xiao family.
