The carriage stopped under a large tree just outside the village.

The clay figure leaned against the side of the tree, his face was sickly, and the wounds on his body began to ooze blood again because of the carriage he had just driven.

Time, there has been a while. The clay figure didn't understand why it was all this time, and the other party hadn't come back yet.

The clay man believed in the strength of the old woman, but he didn't know what had delayed her for so long. It stands to reason that with her strength, it would have been easy to deal with those bandits, and it should have been done a long time ago, but the time was already too far behind what the clay man expected, and he didn't know what kind of changes had happened in between.

"Uh-huh......" Suddenly, the clay figure snorted, and the whole person leaned against the tree with his back and gasped.

He knew that his internal injuries had been committed again, and if he couldn't find a doctor to treat him, he was afraid that most of the injuries would have fallen on his body.

The village was ahead, and he felt that he should go in first, but with the way he was covered in mud and blood, he thought that maybe he would cause panic in the village if he went in, and he would be driven out by the villagers!

Is there no other way?

There was a sudden movement in the carriage, and the clay man knew that it was the little girl in the carriage who had woken up. Sure enough, the curtain of the carriage was opened, revealing that delicate little face.

Xiao Qiu's eyes first looked around, and then noticed the clay figure leaning against the trunk of the tree in the corner. She was smart enough to know what had just happened and didn't ask too much.

The clay man noticed that the little girl's eyes were still on his body, and such a quiet atmosphere seemed a little awkward, and the clay man took the lead in speaking, saying, "Thank you for saving me, by the way, my name is Ning Changan, you?"

"I ...... My name is Chu Qiu. The little girl was still a little shy, and she was a little squirming when answering questions.

"That's a nice name. Ning Changan's words were said in passing, just like praising those sisters in Xuehualou before, this is a habit, a habit that is difficult to correct for a while.

Chu Qiu took it seriously, her little face climbed into more redness, she lowered her head, and said softly: "Your name is also very good, Ning Chang'an, Chang'an...... Did your father take this name, or did your mother take it?"

"My mother......" Ning Changan's tone became low, and a little tear appeared in the corner of his eye.

Chu Qiu didn't notice Ning Chang'an's mood swings at this time, and continued: "I think your mother must want you to live this life happily and happily, Chang'an, Chang'an, for a long time, and ...... peace."

、

Chu Qiu didn't notice that after he said this, Ning Changan looked at his suddenly somewhat surprised expression. How did she know that what she said turned out to be what Ning Changan's mother said to Ning Changan.

Ning Changan looked at Chu Qiu's eyes a little distracted, and now what came to his mind was the scene where his mother spoke to him that day......

On an autumn day, the young Ning Changan was lying on the grass in the garden, he was panting heavily, and he seemed to be very tired. Next to him was a wooden sword with many notches in it, and it was clear that it had been weathered.

In the distance, there was an intermittent quarrel, and Ning Changan couldn't hear it very accurately, because he was far away, and he was still very tired.

"Ning Side, do you really want your child to be like us in the future?"

"Madam, my Ning family has no seeds!"

"Joke! If you practice martial arts, you are not a bad seed? If you don't practice martial arts, you are a bad seed?"

"Madame, you ...... How can you be so strong-worded?"

"Anyway, I don't care, I can't see An'er suffering so much, I have only one child like him in my life, and there will be no other children, you can do it yourself!"

Ning Changan, who was exhausted, opened his eyes and looked in the direction where the voice came from, and squeezed out a smile on his face, which was slightly bitter.

It didn't take long for the sound of footsteps to sound in Ning Changan's ears, and Ning Changan knew that the person who came was his mother.

"An'er, get up quickly, it's cold on the ground. As she spoke, Mrs. Ning pulled Ning Changan to stand up.

Although he was very tired, in front of his mother, Ning Changan still didn't show it, he stood up and asked with a smile on his face: "Mother, what are you doing delicious tonight?"

"Whatever An'er wants to eat, my mother will do it for you. Mrs. Ning carefully removed the weeds from her child's head and said with a smile.

"I want to eat roast chicken ......"

"Okay...... good" Mrs. Ning said as she said with tears in her eyes, the child in front of her was her own son, the flesh and blood that fell from her body, how could she not see the deep exhaustion in her child's eyes.

Ning Changan saw the tears in his mother's eyes, and suddenly panicked, "Mother, what's wrong with you, the child is fine." ”

Mrs. Ning took Ning Chang'an into her arms and wept softly for a while before saying: "An'er, my mother doesn't ask you to have high martial arts attainments in this life, nor do I ask you to make a name for yourself, I just hope that you can live this life quietly for a long time, you know An'er, this is the origin of your Chang'an name." ”

Ning Changan opened his mouth and wanted to refute, but when he saw the deep expectation in his mother's eyes, he lowered his head.

As a result, there was an additional young master of the Ning family who spent money and was arrogant in Du'an City after that.

Chu Qiu finally noticed that something was wrong with Ning Changan, and when she looked over carefully, she found that Ning Changan now had two clear tear stains on his face, and there were now a few more scarlet blood stains on his dirty clothes.

"You...... Are you alright?"

Ning Changan did not answer.

"Ning Chang'an!" Chu Qiu raised his voice, but Ning Changan still didn't react. Just as Chu Qiu was about to call again, Granny Sun's voice came from behind her.

"Mademoiselle, he has now fallen into an extreme mood, and it is useless for you to call him that. ”

"Mother-in-law?" Chu Qiu's face was surprised, and he turned his head busily, just as he saw Granny Sun landing on the roof of the carriage. After Granny Sun appeared, Chu Qiu hurriedly said, "Mother-in-law, what's wrong with Ning Changan, can you wake him up?"

"Ning Chang'an, his surname is Ning?" A trace of surprise flashed on Granny Sun's face, looking at Ning Changan, who was still in her memories, she didn't know what she was thinking.

Chu Qiu didn't notice this subtle change in Granny Sun's expression, but continued: "Yes, Mother-in-law, is there any way you can save him?"

Grandma Sun didn't answer, she seemed to be hesitating about something, and after a long time, she sighed: "That's it, you did me a favor just now, and besides, you dared to use your life to protect my young lady when you were in the most danger, but I should save you at this point." ”

Chu Qiu didn't understand the meaning of Granny Sun's words, but she knew that Granny Sun had promised to save Ning Chang'an, and her heart was a lot more relaxed for a while.

Granny Sun just opened her mouth and said "wake up", and saw that Ning Changan's body suddenly shook, and she looked like she was about to fall to the ground.

"Ahh

Fortunately, Granny Sun stepped out in time to gently hold Ning Changan, and then turned around and threw it into the carriage, but this time Ning Changan slowly fell onto the carriage and did not suffer much collision.

"At this hour, there should still be people in this village who have not rested, let's go in, we will rest in this village tonight, not to mention that the injuries on this kid's body still need some medicinal materials, I hope there are them in this village!"

"Well, listen to my mother-in-law. Chu Qiu didn't object to anything, along the way, she was listening more to her mother-in-law's words.
