Volume 1 Chapter 86 Child Daughter-in-law
"Hiccup! It's so full! ”
In the tent, Jiang Fan sat on the animal skin blanket, put down the large bone in his hand, and burped contentedly.
Xiao Hei lay quietly on the ground, snoring as loudly as thunder, and fell into a deep sleep. Even if Jiang Fan's dining table was filled with the enticing aroma of meat, it couldn't wake it up from his sweet dream.
Just now, Jiang Fan returned to the camp with Xiao Hei, which immediately caused a heated discussion. Despite Jiang Fan's explanation, everyone still deeply admired his strength.
Now, Jiang Fan has reached the cultivation of the Great Perfection of the Lingquan Realm, and it only took less than five months from the late stage of the Lingquan Realm to the Great Perfection, during which he did not rely on any pills.
Such a cultivation talent, coupled with the fact that he had now successfully tamed a second-level top-level demon beast, the Flame Lion, was undoubtedly a tiger with wings for the Tiger Beast Hunter Team.
At this moment, not only the captain Pang Yifeng and the vice captain Yan Jie admired Jiang Fan, but the entire team members of the Tiger Hunting Beast Team were also impressed by him.
In addition, in the past five months, the members of the team have all been helped by Jiang Fan to a greater or lesser extent. When several team members were hunting demon beasts, if Jiang Fan hadn't rescued them in time, I am afraid they would have been seriously injured.
Just now, when Jiang Fan returned to the camp, he casually said, "I'm starving", and the team members of the camp rushed to give him barbecue to eat.
It's not that Jiang Fan is too lazy to do it, it's just that today's situation is special, he carried Xiao Hei, who was several times heavier than himself, and ran wildly for dozens of miles all the way, and he was really a little exhausted.
After enjoying a sumptuous dinner, Jiang Fan looked at Xiao Hei, who was still sleeping on the ground, and slowly stood up and left his tent and walked towards the camp of the captain Pang Yifeng.
On the way back, Jiang Fan had already decided to say goodbye to the two captains in private, and did not plan to say goodbye to everyone together. lest everyone keep it one after another, and Jiang Fan has to struggle to speak.
If it weren't for the fact that Yan Jie's brothers and sisters made a living from the Tiger Beast Hunting Team, and even included the captain Pang Yifeng, Jiang Fan would not want to bother too much. After all, the captain was too enthusiastic.
When Jiang Fan stepped into Pang Yifeng's tent and expressed his intention, as Jiang Fan expected, Pang Yifeng burst into tears on the spot. He tried his best to keep it, and even proposed to immediately promote Jiang Fan to the vice captain of the beast hunting team to keep him.
After all, Pang Yifeng originally planned to recruit some more team members after selling the animal skins in his hands and go to the depths of the dark forest to hunt third-level demon beasts. The value of the demon pill and the animal skin is simply very different.
However, now that Jiang Fan has decided to leave, Pang Yifeng has undoubtedly lost a right-hand man, and he doesn't know where to find such a powerful player.
Maybe his next plan will also be postponed, which makes Pang Yifeng's heart ache!
At the same time, in the face of Pang Yifeng's repeated retention, Jiang Fan had already had a way to deal with it, he insisted that he had important things to deal with and could not obey his fate, and Pang Yifeng also gave up continuing to retain him when he saw this.
When leaving Pang Yifeng's tent, Jiang Fan felt a little embarrassed, and he stuffed 300,000 silver coins to Pang Yifeng to express his care for him during this time.
Seeing this, Pang Yifeng's face immediately blushed, after all, Jiang Fan had never asked for any animal skins during this time, and Pang Yifeng felt extremely guilty about this. In the end, at Jiang Fan's insistent request, he still accepted the 300,000 silver coins.
When leaving Pang Yifeng's camp, Jiang Fan repeatedly told Pang Yifeng not to spread the news of his departure from the beast hunting team. He only wanted to leave quietly, and Pang Yifeng could only reluctantly agree.
It was late at night when Jiang Fan left Pang Yifeng's camp, and except for the two members of the camp guards, everyone else in the camp had already returned to their respective camps to rest.
"Brother Yan Jie, have you slept?"
After Jiang Fan left Pang Yifeng's tent, he did not return directly to his residence, but came to the door of Yan Jie's brother and sister's tent. In order not to disturb Yan Qiao'er, who was sleeping inside, Jiang Fan just called softly.
"Oh? Brother Jiang Fan, I haven't slept yet, but Qiao'er has already slept. Yan Jie quickly got up, glanced at his sleeping sister, and then walked out gently.
"I'm sorry to visit late at night." Jiang Fan smiled and apologized.
Yan Jie waved his hand and smiled, and said, "Brother Jiang Fan, there is no need to be polite between us. Coming to me so late, there must be something important, right? ”
"Actually, there's nothing special, it's just that I'm going to leave early tomorrow morning, and I don't want to talk to you about it in the evening." Jiang Fan replied lightly.
"Huh? Why so suddenly? Yan Jie was a little incredulous, with a similar expression to Pang Yifeng's face.
"Don't hide it from Brother Yanjie, I still have some important things to deal with, so I can't stay any longer." Jiang Fan explained sincerely.
After this period of getting along, coupled with Jiang Fan's care for Yan Qiaoer, Yan Jie had a certain affection for this young man. To be honest, if he didn't consider the age gap, he even wanted to entrust his sister to Jiang Fan.
However, in the face of the fact that Jiang Fan was about to leave, Yan Jie naturally would not put forward this idea again.
"Brother Jiang Fan, does the captain know that you are leaving?" Yan Jie asked.
Jiang Fan nodded and replied, "Didn't I just come to you after saying hello to the captain, the captain was really too enthusiastic, so I stayed there for a while." Jiang Fan's expression was a little tired, and he obviously spent a lot of effort in explaining.
"Haha! Brother Jiang Fan, the captain has always been so enthusiastic! Yan Jie chuckled.
At this time, Yan Qiao'er in the camp tent slowly opened her eyes, got up from the animal skin blanket, and walked gently to the outside of the camp tent.
When Jiang Fan returned to the camp just now, Yan Qiao'er wanted to stay with him, but Jiang Fan refused her on the grounds of tiredness. On weekdays, no matter how tired she is, Jiang Fan will not refuse her, which makes Yan Qiaoer feel a little strange.
So, Yan Qiao'er quietly hid by the door of the tent and eavesdropped, listening to Jiang Fan and Yan Jie's soft conversation.
After getting along for this period of time, Yan Jie has a certain understanding of Jiang Fan's character, just like his sister, once he decides on something, he will no longer compromise.
Therefore, Yan Jie did not mean to continue to keep Jiang Fan, after all, the captain had tried his best to keep Jiang Fan before, and now Jiang Fan was looking for the captain and himself in private, obviously indicating that he wanted to leave quietly.
"By the way, Brother Yan Jie, I have five million silver coins here, and when the time comes, I will buy some good elixir for Qiao'er and recuperate her body."
As soon as the words fell, Jiang Fan took out a coin storage card printed with the words "Treasure Pavilion" from the Qiankun bag and handed it to Yan Jie with his own hands.
"Brother Jiang Fan, I know you have always loved Qiao'er, but this is inevitably too much, right?"
Yan Jie was not surprised by Jiang Fan's actions, after all, Jiang Fan had always doted on his sister very much. It's just that he didn't expect Jiang Fan to take out a full five million silver coins at one time.
These five million silver coins were enough for Yan Jie to no longer need to hunt demon beasts in the next thirty years, or even forty years, because it was completely enough to buy the elixir that his sister needed. Jiang Fan knew that it was precisely because of this consideration that he would be so generous.
"Brother Jiang Fan......"
Yan Qiao'er hid in the tent, and subconsciously covered her mouth when she heard this, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.
"Brother Yan Jie, if it weren't for Sister Qiao'er's help, I'm afraid I would have become the food in the mouth of the demon beast. These five million silver coins are not worth mentioning. Jiang Fan sincerely persuaded.
Yan Jie knew the situation well, and he clearly knew that Jiang Fan was seriously injured not because he fell into the trap of the demon beast. If Jiang Fan hadn't fallen into the trap at that time, with his state, it would have been almost impossible to survive in the forest full of demon beasts.
It can be said that the existence of Qiao'er and Yan Jie's siblings indirectly saved Jiang Fan and allowed him to recover in the camp of the Tiger Hunters.
"Okay, Brother Yan Jie, you just said that our friendship doesn't need to be too formal. Just take it! Jiang Fan patted Yan Jie's shoulder and continued to persuade.
With tears in his eyes, Yan Jie sighed lightly: "Since this is the case, then I will accept it!" The great kindness of the Jiang Fan brothers, Yan Jie could not repay it. If one day ......"
"That's it! Don't be so polite. Jiang Fan interrupted Yan Jie's words.
"Haha! Being able to get to know Brother Jiang Fan is really a blessing that Yan Jie has accumulated in his previous life. Yan Jie was moved, he clearly knew what the five million silver coins meant. It was a treasure that would last his sister's life!
"That's right!" Jiang Fan breathed a sigh of relief and saw that Yan Jie was willing to accept the money. He was worried that pushing back and forth would make Yan Qiao'er wake up.
"By the way, Brother Jiang Fan, do you want to tell Qiao'er too? After all, she cares about you. Yan Jie frowned, he knew his sister's temper very well.
If she knew that she had let Jiang Fan go, and she had deliberately hidden it from her, she would have been nagged by her for a while.
"No need, please ask Brother Yan Jie to help me tell me when the time comes." Jiang Fan sighed lightly, and seemed to be a little reluctant, after all, Yan Qiao'er was so innocent and cute.
When Yan Jie heard this, he frowned, and was a little embarrassed for a while. This is undoubtedly a hot taro for him.
Just as he hesitated, the voice came from behind him, the one that was very familiar to both of them.
"Brother Jiang Fan, you coward!"
At this moment, Yan Qiao'er, who was hiding in the tent, couldn't hold back any longer, she pushed open the tent door, crossed her hands on her waist, and walked out angrily. Her watery eyes stared straight at Jiang Fan, as if anger was burning.
Yan Qiao'er's little face was full of loss and sadness, her eyes were slightly red, and her eyes revealed a trace of helplessness and sadness. Her lips trembled slightly, as if she was trying to restrain her emotions. Her brow furrowed slightly, showing the dissatisfaction and anger in her heart.
Her body trembled slightly, as if searching for an outlet for her inexpressible emotions. The whole person exudes a sad atmosphere, which makes people feel pity.
"Qiao'er, in fact, I ......" Jiang Fan was nervous all of a sudden, a little overwhelmed, and completely intimidated by her momentum.
However, it was only a ten-year-old girl in front of her, and she didn't have any cultivation......
"That, Brother Jiang Fan, I suddenly remembered that I still have something important to find the captain! Let's talk first! Seeing this, Yan Jie hurriedly threw down this sentence and strode towards Pang Yifeng's tent, which had already extinguished the lights.
"Yan Jie! You guy! Don't sleep at night, and don't let others sleep? Pang Yifeng's curse came over.
"Oops! How did I forget about this, but fortunately you kid came to remind me......" After a while, Pang Yifeng's surprised voice came out again, as if he had woken up from a dream.
……
"Brother Jiang Fan, is it true that Qiao'er didn't wake up, and you are really ready to say goodbye?"
At this moment, Yan Qiao'er raised her head, and her bright and moist eyes seemed to be two clear droplets, conveying the endless grievances in her heart through her eyes. Her hands tugged at the hem of her shirt tightly, as if trying to grasp a hint of comfort and support. The whole person's demeanor seemed fragile and helpless, like a petal blown away by the wind, which made people feel pity.
"No, it's not! Qiao'er, in fact, Brother Jiang Fan ......"
Jiang Fan was deeply touched by Yan Qiaoer's aggrieved appearance, and became a little incoherent for a while. After this time of getting along, this innocent and cute little girl has already planted a seed in his heart that will sprout.
For Yan Qiao'er, Jiang Fan had an impulse to protect her desperately, not only because she had saved his life, but also because when she was chased and killed by Ge Yuan, she actually wanted to face life and death with him.
This made Jiang Fan, who had lost his parents since he was a child and suffered from the cynicism of the clansmen, feel particularly moved, this is a precious emotion that money cannot be exchanged. The two are not related by blood, but they are like brothers and sisters. This kind of friendship is exactly what Jiang Fan has always longed for.
However, the next sentence Yan Qiaoer said made Jiang Fan a little unexpected.
"Brother Jiang Fan, why don't you accompany me to see the stars? The moon is bright tonight! I saw Yan Qiao'er say, took Jiang Fan's hand, and walked towards the outside of the camp.
"Qiao'er ......"
Jiang Fan responded softly, originally about to explain again, but his words couldn't be organized, so he could only let Yan Qiao'er pull him and walk towards a small dirt slope not far away......
"Brother Jiang Fan! The stars are really bright tonight, and so is the moon! Yan Qiao'er sat on the grass and said with a smile to Jiang Fan on the side.
"Hmmm! It's really bright! Jiang Fan felt a little at a loss, so he could only echo blankly.
"Brother Jiang Fan, it's just a pity......" Yan Qiao'er suddenly lowered her head, revealing a trace of sadness.
"Qiao'er, what is the pity?" Jiang Fan asked softly, a little confused.
"It's a pity that Uncle Moon isn't round at all tonight! It's as if even Uncle Moon knew in advance that Brother Jiang Fan was leaving Qiao'er......" Yan Qiao'er pursed her lips, revealing some grievances.
"Forehead......" Jiang Fan was stunned for a while, and a trace of distress surged in his heart.
"Brother Jiang Fan......" Yan Qiao'er's voice was a little choked, and she gradually snuggled up to Jiang Fan's shoulder, tears flashing in her eyes.
Jiang Fan didn't dodge, just gently stroked Yan Qiao'er's head and comforted: "Qiao'er, don't cry, when you grow up, Brother Jiang Fan will definitely come to see you." ”
"Brother Jiang Fan, you really don't know how to comfort girls? You are so perfunctory, how can you find a wife in the future......" Yan Qiao'er pursed her lips and blinked her eyes with a hint of contempt.
Jiang Fan felt a sense of weakness and began to try his best to come up with better words of comfort, but when he finally found suitable words to comfort Yan Qiao'er, the latter had already snuggled into his arms and fell asleep.
Seeing Yan Qiao'er sleeping peacefully in her arms, Jiang Fan felt an indescribable emotion in his heart.
Yan Qiao'er's sleeping face is like a delicate painting, her face is soft and serene, and the bright moonlight gently sprinkles on her face, reflecting her pure beauty. The long eyelashes fluttered slightly, as light as butterfly wings, and gently covered her eyes. Her lips opened slightly, exuding a hint of warmth, as if telling the dream of her heart.
Her body gently snuggled into Jiang Fan's arms, as if she had found a sense of peace and tranquility. Jiang Fan felt her delicate breathing, and the warm body temperature was transmitted to his heart through his clothes, making him feel an incomparable warmth and protection.
In this quiet night, Yan Qiao'er's sleeping posture was like a delicate flower, quietly blooming in Jiang Fan's arms, exuding a fresh fragrance. Jiang Fan hugged her tightly, feeling her presence, and a deep emotion surged in his heart, as if at this moment, the world became peaceful and beautiful.
The night was so short and fleeting, and when a red sun rose in the distance, Jiang Fan had already left the camp of the Tiger Hunter Team with Xiao Hei, and he was already dozens of miles away.
……
"Xiao Hei, from now on we have to rely on each other for our lives!" Jiang Fan said softly to Xiao Hei on the side.
"Woo......" Xiao Hei made a voice in response.
"You guy, you slept really hard yesterday! I've walked dozens of miles with you on my back, and now my shoulders are still sore! Jiang Fan pointed to Xiao Hei's head and complained softly.
"Woo woo......" Xiao Hei looked aggrieved.
"Boy, I'm afraid your shoulder is sore by that child daughter-in-law, right?" The voice that I hadn't heard for a long time came to my ears......
