Chapter 518: Orphans and Widows

Although Qiao Yuan couldn't get up to look, he heard the noise coming from the dock, and infinite anticipation suddenly rose in his heart.

Qi Lingfei took the broken sword away, glanced at Qiao Yuan fiercely, and then picked up Xinmei and said.

"Xinmei, when you get to Jiang Qicheng, I guarantee that this kid won't live for three days. ”

Although Xinmei really wanted to kill Qiao Yuan now to vent her hatred, but now that the shore is about to be docked, she really doesn't have time to deal with him.

And they also know that if they want to kill him, I'm afraid it's not that simple.

It didn't take long for Qiao Yuan to feel that the big ship was gradually stopping as the hull of the ship shook, and then he saw several strong men busy throwing their sights, collecting sails, and transporting goods.

After a while, a strange elegant man came to the boat with a group of strong men, and the elegant man saluted Qi Lingfei and Xinmei, and then walked straight to Liang Yun and bowed respectfully.

"Second lady, congratulations on your safe return. ”

Liang Yun smiled and nodded, then took out a jade slip and threw it over, and said softly.

"This is the list of accounts for this shipment, you take a careful count, and in addition, arrange for two people to send him to Yunju Villa. ”

"Yunju Courtyard?"

The elegant man glanced at Qiao Yuan a few times, and a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

Seeing that the elegant man was not moving, Liang Yun slowly put away the smile on his face and said lightly.

"Are you okay?"

"No, you two, do as the second lady says. ”

The elegant man hurriedly shook his head, then turned around and pointed at the two strong men at random, and said urgently, after saying that, he commanded the remaining strong men and began to carry the goods on the ship.

The boat has docked, the matter has been explained, and Liang Yun's task is completed, she took Xiaohu's hand and walked slowly towards the shore along the wooden ladder on the side of the boat.

Qiao Yuan was lying on the bed frame, and the two strong men lifted him up effortlessly and silently followed behind Liang Yun.

After getting off the boat, Qiao Yuan saw the prosperous scene of this wharf, the traffic was busy, the crowd was crowded, the big ships and small boats were leaning on the shore one after another, and there were countless sturdy men rushing and busy.

Although the monk had a storage bag and could put some goods into it, Qiao Yuan had learned during this time that there were many special materials in the Donglin Continent that could not be stored in the storage bag, and could only rely on shipping.

For example, the Yang family, where Liang Yun is located, trades in a kind of spirit fir wood.

After the spirit fir wood is unearthed, it must be guaranteed to survive, and if the spirit fir wood is put into the storage bag, within three days, the spirit fir wood will wither and die.

When the time comes, its spirituality will pass rapidly, and it will become no different from ordinary wood, and it will have no value.

It is precisely because of this that the maritime trade here will be extremely developed, and this one wharf can fully support more than a dozen nearby immortal cultivation families, as well as countless scattered cultivators and mortals.

"Yun'er. ”

Just as Qiao Yuan was curiously looking at the surrounding environment, he suddenly heard a call from ahead, and then Liang Yun and the two strong men who were carrying the bed frame stopped together.

Qiao Yuan looked in the direction where the voice came from, but the three of them walked straight towards them.

Two of them he was familiar with, Qi Lingfei and Xinmei, while the other was a strange middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man, who was in his early forties, was burly, with a square face, and the black beard on his chin was connected to his temples, and he looked quite imposing.

But at this time, the man's eyes were full of affection, staring at Liang Yun tightly.

"Qi Daoyou, please call me Liang Daoyou or my real name. ”

When Liang Yun saw the middle-aged man, a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes, but she still pulled a smile on her face, took a step back and said lightly.

"Yun'er, why do we have to see each other so much. ”

The middle-aged man put on a smile on his face, but the smile and the black beard on his face looked extremely awkward.

"Erniang, Fourth Uncle Qi is infatuated with you, you should also think about it. ”

Xinmei stepped forward to hold Liang Yun's arm, the corners of her mouth rose, revealing a caring smile, completely different from when she was on the boat.

If Qiao Yuan hadn't seen her sarcastic snarky face towards Liang Yun, he would have thought that they were a mother-daughter relationship now.

Xiaohu saw Xinmei coming up, and hurriedly drilled into Liang Yun's arms in fear.

She stretched out one and gently stroked Xiaohu's head, frowning and whispering.

"Xinmei, Xiaohu is still there. ”

"Xiaohu is here, let's not talk about it yet. ”

The middle-aged man tried to put on a loving fatherly appearance, and as he spoke, he wanted to go up and touch Xiaohu's head.

But Xiaohu took a step back and hid behind Liang Yun, letting the middle-aged man fall short.

The middle-aged man tugged at the corners of his mouth, but he didn't mind, and let Qi Lingfei lead the way, while he talked to Liang Yun without a word.

Along the way, the middle-aged man didn't look at Qiao Yuan at all, and Xinmei and Qi Lingfei also seemed to have forgotten the previous incident, and the two walked in front and kept laughing.

Qiao Yuan could see that Liang Yun didn't like the middle-aged man, and he was deliberately a little distant, but this was a private matter, and it was inconvenient for him to interfere, so he set his eyes on the distance.

In front of him was an extremely large city, so big that Qiao Yuan couldn't see it with the naked eye, and he could only see a wall about dozens of feet high towering in front of him.

The city gate under the city wall is ten zhang high, five or six zhang wide, and at this moment there are many people queuing up to enter the city at the city gate, and those people are all pulling piles of goods behind them.

Qi Lingfei and Xinmei walked at the front, without even looking at the people in line, they walked directly past them and walked towards the city.

Originally, some people in line were a little annoyed when they saw Qi Lingfei walking directly to the city gate, but after hearing the discussion of the people next to them, they immediately dispersed their anger, and their faces were full of envy.

"Have you seen it, that is the Qi family's Qi Lingfei son, it is said that he is only twenty-two years old this year, and he has successfully built the foundation, which can be described as a proud figure of the younger generation of the Qi family. ”

"Look at that person, isn't she the second lady of Yang Jian of the Yang family?"

"That's right, this appearance and figure is the first beauty of the Liang family back then, but it's a pity that she became a concubine, and after only ten years of marriage, her husband fell unexpectedly, it's a pity and a pity. ”

"What do you know? What Yang Jian really liked back then was this second lady, and his main room was just a family marriage. ”

When he said this, Liang Yun couldn't listen to it anymore, and the coercion of his foundation building period spread violently, directly pressing towards the few monks who chewed the root of their tongues.

Those people were all loose cultivators, and when they saw that the words were heard, they hurriedly turned around and ran.

Qiao Yuan also heard all this in his ears, and couldn't help but sigh lightly, silently sympathizing with this Aunt Yun.

"Yun'er, don't mind the words of those inferior people, it's not worth it to be angry with them. ”

The middle-aged man glared at the people fiercely, then turned his head to look at Liang Yun and comforted him softly.

With his comfort, many people cast ambiguous eyes on the two of them, and secretly said that there are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, and she is worthy of being the first beauty of the Liang family, this husband has only been dead for two years, and this suitor is so blatant.

Liang Yun's hands in his sleeves clenched tighter and tighter, but his eyes unconsciously revealed a trace of sorrow and longing.

Thinking that if her husband was still there, she would not hear this kind of gossip all day long, let alone be entangled by Qi Sihai.

Thinking of this, Liang Yun lowered his head, walked forward faster, and ignored the middle-aged man's words.

After experiencing the previous events, Qiao Yuan was not in the mood to continue to enjoy the scenery, but set his eyes on Liang Yun's lonely back and sighed secretly.

Liang Yun's meticulous care for three months made Qiao Yuan experience a feeling that he had never felt before.

He doesn't have a mother, and he doesn't know the difference between that kind of love and maternal love, but Qiao Yuan feels extremely warm and comfortable every time he sees Liang Yun covering him with a quilt and pulling the corners of his back.

For this reason, he has to protect this warmth and not allow others to destroy it.

The thoughts in his mind were flying, but he saw Liang Yun stop and look at Xiaohu and say softly.

"Xiaohu, you take your eldest brother to the other courtyard first, and my mother will go to see you after she finishes her errands. ”

Xiaohu nodded, and then walked to Qiao Yuan's side, while Liang Yun turned around and gave him a reassuring and warm smile.

When the middle-aged man heard "Courtyard", he turned his head and looked at Qiao Yuan carefully, and when he saw him lying motionless on the bed frame, he withdrew his gaze.

In front of him is a huge mansion, and above the main entrance of the mansion are two words, Yang Mansion.

After Liang Yun finished speaking, he walked steadily towards the main gate, and the middle-aged man and Qi Lingfei stood at the door, watching Liang Yun leave.

As for Qiao Yuan, he was carried by two strong men, bypassing the main gate and walking along the street towards the Yang family's back house.

After walking for nearly a stick of incense, the two strong men carried Qiao Yuan into a spring-like courtyard, and then under the arrangement of the two maids, Qiao Yuan was placed in a clean guest room.

Xiaohu didn't leave, he stayed by Qiao Yuan's side, he lowered his head, his eyes were dull, and he seemed to be very depressed.

"Xiaohu, aren't you happy when you go home?"

Qiao Yuan tugged at the corners of his mouth, revealing a gentle smile, and asked softly.

Xiaohu hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly.

Qiao Yuan really couldn't imagine why an eight-year-old child was so withdrawn, so he couldn't help but want to understand and help him untie the knot.

"Can you tell your brother why you're unhappy?"

Xiaohu lowered his head and was silent, Qiao Yuan was not in a hurry, and slowly raised his hand to caress his back.

After a stick of incense time, Xiaohu opened his mouth and said in a very low voice.

"Daddy is dead, everybody says...... Mother Kefu, and said that I ...... I'm not ......."

Speaking of this, the tears in Xiaohu's eyes couldn't stop staying, and he threw himself on Qiao Yuan, sobbing in a low voice.

Qiao Yuan sighed lightly, raised his head and gently stroked Xiaohu's head.

Through these words, coupled with the rumors he heard at the city gate, how could he not guess how difficult the situation of Liang Yun's mother and son was here.

It's a pity that he can't even move now, even if he wants to help them, he can't do it.

After a long while, Qiao Yuan couldn't hear Xiaohu's sobs, only to realize that he had fallen asleep.

At this time, only a creak was heard, the door was gently pushed open, and Liang Yun walked in slowly.

She had the usual gentle smile on her face, but her face was a little pale, and there were some unwiped tears in the corners of her eyes.

"Aunt Yun, are you done?"

Qiao Yuan sighed secretly in his heart, but he pretended not to see it on his face, showed a bright smile, and asked softly.

Liang Yun smiled even more, the corners of her eyebrows and eyes exuded the brilliance of motherhood, she nodded, walked forward and saw that Xiaohu was asleep, so she said in a very low voice.

"Qiao Yuan, what do you think of this place? ”

"Where Aunt Yun said, I am grateful if you can take me in. ”

Qiao Yuan shook his head slightly and replied softly.

Liang Yun lowered her eyebrows, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes, and she hesitated for a while before continuing to speak.

"I know you're not an ordinary person, but now that you're injured, it's hard to protect yourself, and in two days, I'll move you to a safe place. ”
