Chapter 5

The girl forcefully patted his hand, pointing at the dishes on the table

Exactly the same as the woman just now

Lan Qing suddenly glared at him

There were actually people blocking them from going into the sea.

"Big girl, you want to sleep outside... Alright, just for today." He chuckled and sighed, gently patting the big girl who was sleeping with her back to him

Lan Qing glanced at the fruit shop across the street while cooking.

Lan Qing leaned in to smell the white jade pill. It was merely a sedative; taking it would result in at most a few days of half-consciousness.

Lan Qing suppressed a smile. Tomorrow, after the big girl eats that piece of fragrant gum that can make her mouth water but is not sweet candy, I wonder if she will be sulking again

Guest

"What is wrong?" Gongsun Zhi noticed his unusual behavior

Big girl! Big girl!

Before leaving, perhaps considering that the preserved fruits in her precious pocket would only be able to be shared with him and Li Jinchao in the future, and that the bag was too full to constantly replace with fresh goods, she took out another piece and stuffed it into his mouth

Alright, then I will go to bed and rest for a while; you should not stay up too late. He lay down on the bed without taking off his outer clothes, intending to wait for the girl to finish her writing before sleeping. However, as his mind relaxed, sleep washed over him like a tide, and he could not help but close his eyes and fall into a deep slumber

It is truly ... . ... He burst into laughter, but when the people from Yun Family Village arrived, they discovered that it was merely someone who had caught a slight cold, unaware of what kind of transformation it would be.

Thank you, I can just hold my daughter. Lan Qing stepped forward in time to embrace the soft little body of the girl.

After her head was blown apart, many chaotic things returned to their original places, and her mind was thoroughly swept by a clear breeze, as if... something had happened before that obscured her mind, preventing her from understanding everything; now she understands everything.

The small head gently bumped into him. "Auntie is not here this year, it would be good for you to take flowers for her, but you have too many flowers in your bag. Are there others who need to send flowers?" he asked tentatively

The girl kept looking back at the corner of the alley until she felt the cold sweat on Lan Qing's face, and only then did she fix her gaze on him. She used the small gloves that Gongsun Zhi had just put on her to wipe the sweat from his face, and Lan Qing felt a warmth in his heart as he affectionately nuzzled her little face

The young woman lowered her head, opened her pocket, and handed the herbs from the small bag to Lan Qing's lips

The girl, aged five or six, is not much different from when she was two; she has simply grown a bit larger, and her body is very healthy, having never been ill. He believes this is a legacy of Guan Changyuan's robust health

The twelve-year-old girl stared blankly at the large ship approaching directly from the opposite side

She lowered her head again and took out some preserved fruit from her pocket, insisting on stuffing it into his mouth

Since it is a detour, there should be no immediate issues. However, we cannot allow the young lady to stay at the Lan family for too long, as the current head of the family has a twisted and ugly character that could subject her to the most terrifying experiences. Every additional moment she stays is not just dangerous

That was given to the girl two years ago

With a single leap, it seemed to spring forth from her mouth, soaring straight into the sky

"Alright, if you want to press me, then go ahead... Aren't you going to press me?" The little white bear crawled over his body and rolled to the outside. The big girl is straightforward; if she annoys him again before sleeping, she will stubbornly turn her back to him while sleeping.

Your daughter is truly adorable, wishing you a happy New Year. Yun Jiazhuang stole a glance behind him but saw no woman; it turned out he was a single father with his daughter, which must be quite challenging

Suddenly, the surroundings fell silent, as if sound had been severed from the world. Her consciousness scattered, once again plunging into a hazy state of unconsciousness

Lan Qing politely said: "Thank you"

The girl cannot swim! Not only can she not swim, but she also lacks the ability to defeat a child of the same age, let alone deal with the ruthless methods of the Lan family

Lan Qing couldn't help but laugh upon catching the scent from her mouth. Is this little girl still thinking about that peculiar scented candy? It melts in the mouth yet continues to emit a pleasant fragrance. The girl had been exhaling all morning, constantly inhaling it, and had sprayed quite a bit onto his face, intentionally making him smell the same.

Previously, when I mentioned death to her this morning, she thought it was just like her parents disappearing without a trace, but now it seems as if someone has opened her mind, and she understands what death truly means

You are as healthy as an ox, but it is hard to guarantee that you won't be infected by me. Big girl, don't touch me, just watch me sleep from the side. Later, we will change beds; I will sleep on the floor, and you can go to bed by yourself.

Big girl? Big girl?

She weakly closed her eyes, the shouts by her ears gradually fading away, and she could only think of one thing, thus she exerted all her strength to scream:

Knowing that there is no blood relation, she still cares for him... ? ... He feels ecstatic, his heart trembles, and even his innermost being is incredibly soft, but why does his eyes betray his true feelings and appear somewhat bitter?

Come, open your mouth. This is the medicine that Uncle specifically brought. No, no, don't spit it out; hold it in your mouth and wait for it to dissolve, this way you won't get sick easily. Remember to take it every day at noon, only eat half of each piece, and save the rest for tomorrow. You must not take too much, do you understand?" Gongsun had already bundled the medicine into small bags. He was not worried that the girl would forget; after all, the man eavesdropping across the street would remember it clearly.

The girl gazed intently at the woman's smile

Can a ten-year-old child grow this fast in just six months... Although he is still not as tall as his waist, it still makes his heart race? How can a child grow so quickly? If this continues, won't he no longer depend on his big doll?

His pursuit of the phoenix has long been resolved, crushing such a person is as easy as crushing an ant

He couldn't help but soften his smile and said, "If the young lady is treating, I will certainly accept." He carefully set her down, allowing her to stroll along the long street lined with lights. She was not a very lively or active child, and was somewhat shy, always staying close to him and unwilling to wander far.

The other young ladies in the carriage were both jealous and angry, while the disciples from Yun Family Village, responsible for the safety of the young ladies in the carriage, cast a glance in his direction and decided to pretend they had seen nothing

"Big girl, I am fine, there is no need to set off fireworks to signal for help." Once the specially made colorful fireworks from Yun Family Village are launched, the people of Yun Family Village will know that someone from their village is in trouble and will rush to provide assistance. He did not believe that Fu Linchun would give such things to the big girl; it must have been secretly given to her by Gongsun Zhi.

Big girl ... ... If I can survive this time, I will change all my bad habits ... ... You and I, let's find a place ... ... to live like family, okay?

Your daughter has been crying all day since she found out that the Lan family does not have you. You also know the temperament of the head of the family; how long can your daughter's life be preserved..." Before he finished speaking, he saw Lan Qing swallow the pill

No, I do not wish for revenge; I only want to live peacefully with the girl.

Can you not even see us?

When the girl is angry, her cheeks always puff up, which is quite adorable... He would rather have her be angry than to think about her mother again, but it is not a solution for her to remain angry all the time

She will only playfully bicker with Jin Zhao at most; when others bully her, she does not understand how to retaliate at all. How could he bear to let her be bullied by some trivial matters

"Big girl, this year Auntie won't help you, you have to do it yourself." He quickly let her down to the ground

It is time to go, be careful!

The sugar figurine was brought before him, and he was momentarily taken aback. The young lady was holding one, was the other one meant for him

To raise a plump girl, it should start from today. He originally intended to cook a bowl of noodles for three people to feed the girl, but as he passed by the window, he caught sight of the disciples from the Yun family waiting outside.

Lan Qing shrugged. "There are countless coincidences in this world." He was not afraid of Gongsun Zhi investigating, as the death of Scorpion Zhang Lin was indeed unrelated to him

He noticed that the girl was clenching her fists tightly, suppressing the urge to leave on time; she was truly enduring and allowing him to dictate her actions. This silly girl, he smiled, gently patted her small back, and walked around to face her, saying: "Girl, go practice; come back at noon, I will wait for you"

The girl seems to have already forgotten those days of fleeing, and even forgotten about Guan Changyuan and the others... Children have short memories, and indeed it is so, but the girl has always hated the trunk

In the distance, the people of Yunjiacun slightly nodded their heads towards Gongsun Zhi

It turned out that what was blown apart was her brain

"Big girl, don't be angry, don't be angry. This afternoon, I'll take you out of the city to have some fun, okay?" he said in a flattering manner

Since someone is willing to waste coins to please a little doll, he also feels embarrassed to stop it

The door is locked, so he will not go out; having taken off his outer garment, he will not rush out immediately. Now it would be too easy for him to kill someone, but once he does, he will have no shared future with the girl.

"Good child, it's time to sleep. Tomorrow morning, before the streetlights are turned off, I will take you there once more," he said softly, holding the warm girl tightly.

Whether it is the Guan family or the Mandarin Duck Sword, they have all been completely erased from the big girl's memory; otherwise, she would not be so close to him and so dependent on him

He laughed heartily, allowing her to feed him. This silly girl, he hadn't even finished the last candied fruit yet. If the girl could speak, what would she say at this moment? She would say: Uncle Lan, don't be sad, cheer up a bit. This little girl always uses her precious candied fruits to comfort him

The young girl carefully placed the hairpin into her precious bag. Then, she took out a candied fruit from her pocket to stuff into his mouth

"Big girl! Big girl, I am back!" Lan Qingfeng hurriedly returned home, only to find the room empty.

Being chubby and plump is what constitutes health. A couple of years ago, she was so chubby that her eyes appeared small and cute! Unfortunately, the Yun family village did not take good care of the big girl, causing her to shrink like this

"Come here, little girl, have a candied fruit." The voice of Gongsun Zhi floated gently; "Where was I just now, uncle? Ah, it is rare for uncle to find a confidant, and unexpectedly it is a little child. If you were a bit older, I would take you home as my bride. You don’t understand? No worries, come, uncle will explain it all in detail..."

She glanced at him, then reluctantly cast a look at the lanterns, and finally nodded while holding the sugar figurine. A strange warmth flowed through his heart. He was someone who valued comparisons; as long as he was more important to the girl than anything else, he would be immensely happy. He couldn't help but pick up the warm little darling again and kissed her on the forehead

Young man, you truly indulge the child

She climbed onto his body in anger

In the summer, when it gets hot, the big girl will roll onto the ground and fall into a deep sleep. When he wakes up, he almost steps on this little meatball; in the winter, when it is cold, he has to buy an extra quilt for the big girl. She loves to kick the quilt, so he specifically bought a heavy quilt to prevent her little feet from kicking it. In a fit of anger, she will use her little claws to kick him instead.

She stared intently, nodding vigorously, the corners of her small mouth slightly raised, gently bumping his head.

The young lady has never experienced a toothache to this day, which can certainly be attributed to him. He hails from the Lan family and places great importance on appearance; a set of white teeth and a fresh breath are absolutely fundamental requirements.

She looked at him and nodded vigorously

However, he is very happy... truly very happy... because he clearly saw the purest joy in Daniu's eyes when she learned that he would stay for an additional three months

Her eyelashes trembled incessantly, and she slowly opened her eyes

Are you unwilling to give it to Uncle? It turns out that Uncle is insignificant in your heart, despite him going through the trouble of buying you little gloves and little shoes. Do you know that your little hands and little feet look very similar? Uncle even specially bought two different colors to show the distinction... He lifted her tiny foot

At the very least, a child's memory should not be so meticulous. What went wrong? The girl should be somewhat foolish; if she is foolish, how could she retain such complete memories?

Upon waking from a deep sleep, I felt completely refreshed, with no signs of any wind-related ailments. Lan Qing smiled as she moved the little furnace, the big girl, to the inner side of the bed

I have been expelled from the Lan family, the head of the family has issued an order, what does it have to do with me? What about my daughter?

The girl looked at that one and then at the toothbrush, and finally, with reluctance, took it. With Lanqing's assistance, she learned to brush her teeth.

The girl carefully stuffed the small bag into her precious pocket

The young girl, being still quite young, is somewhat unable to withstand the drowsiness. Her pair of small eyes is already half-closed, and her delicate, curled eyelashes are constantly fluttering, as if she is trying hard to stay awake for just a little longer

Those people would not let go, the young woman’s vision became blurred, and she vaguely saw a man swimming over to resolve the situation with those who were threatening her, but she was unable to breathe, reaching her limit

He laughed heartily: "Is the big girl rewarding me... Is the big girl going out to practice?"

"Big girl, have you given any of the candied fruits in your pocket to Aunt Jin Zhao?" He asked with a smile, face to face.

I am about to go out to kill someone... But first, I need to move this soft, fluffy, and puffy little white bear aside. Since even the impulsive act of killing someone is so troublesome, I might as well forget it and let the people of Yun Family Village wait in vain for a night

No, there is not ... ...

Someone was pacing by the bedside, and then a heavy quilt was placed over him.

Upon seeing the daily task of brushing her teeth, the girl puffed up her cheeks and wished to save trouble by burying her head under the covers and going back to sleep

In a state between half-dreaming and half-awake, he felt a bit feverish, perhaps due to a stroke of misfortune. It is somewhat amusing that the girl, like the young bull, is in excellent health and has hardly ever been ill, while he, as a practitioner, has suffered from colds several times over the past few years

A small warmth suddenly filled his embrace, startling him, and he quickly opened his eyes

She nodded slightly, got out of bed, and washed her face and brushed her teeth

Did you come to pick up the girl for martial arts practice this early? As he turned his head, the girl was indeed already getting up while rubbing her eyes. How early is it? Has the girl ever gotten up this early before? Is the Yun family mistreating her?

Big girl, your senior brother is waiting for you, he is a bit older than you, do you have someone you like... wait!" He quickly grabbed her small hand to prevent her from rushing out in a serious manner. Is it really necessary to be this punctual for class?

Such memories are plentiful and desirable. He enjoys reminiscing and hopes that nothing will change. Moreover, this year, he occasionally entertains the thought that as long as the girl will not face any dangers from the world, he is willing to abandon all his skills and completely sever ties with that world to preserve the life he currently has.

His gaze casually swept over the crowd, suddenly pausing, and he discreetly led the girl into the darkness. Living in this city, although there is the support of the third master of the Yun family, which adds a sense of security, having more people from the martial world around always brings some trouble

Lan Qing seemed unaware, picked up the girl, and said: "Girl, let's go take a look."

As long as he wishes, this person will not survive until tomorrow

The changes in expression of my father before his death, the tears of my mother before she passed away, and Lan Qing enduring humiliation to help her escape at night... How strange it is, why do every single memory from the past twelve years emerge so vividly in my mind

He opened his eyes wide in a hurry, stunned.

She struggled fiercely, filled with anger and fear, but she could not breathe; her chest hurt so much, and her head was spinning... so dizzy... Her face was flushed, pain, pain, pain... Lan Qing, Lan Qing, it hurts so much...

Lanzhou girl

Did you really never think of killing him

Lan Qing could not contain himself any longer and finally burst into laughter. He was fully aware that Gongsun Zhi's gaze had been following him all along, but he had no intention of caring about how this person viewed him at that moment. He would never personally kill Scorpion Zhang Lin, not because Zhang Lin did not deserve to die, but because he wanted to live with the big girl, which meant he had to give up the blood on his hands

No, her surname is not Lan, nor can it be Guan. ... "Daniu" is her nickname, and her name was given by her father. She remembers it as ... ... it is ... ...

The girl really cannot compete with others, even connecting takes her a step slower... He sighed, yet the corners of his mouth lifted in a fond smile, as he fumbled around his waist and pulled out a string of coins earned during the day.

He walked up to the stall and said he wanted a sugar figurine, but as soon as he touched the hidden pouch at his waist, he fell into a moment of silence

... ... The girl is no longer here ... ... just pity her a little ... ... Of course, mother loves you the most ... ... '' The woman's voice faded away in the alley.

He held her close while taking out a coin from inside, purchasing a sugar figurine under the peculiar gaze of the shopkeeper

Is the foolishness of the big girl born for me? Then, is it alright to always maintain such foolishness? If there is a next life, he is willing to be a servant for the Guan family couple, as long as he can have this big girl, allowing her to remain foolish for the rest of her life

"What are you doing..." The woman also had a child. The child pushed the girl. "Don't touch my mom!"

The girl neither nodded nor shook her head, carefully putting away the remaining small flowers

In an instant, her eardrums swelled, and everything became exceptionally clear; even the sound of the sea flowing was distinctly audible. Her heartbeat, which had been rapid, gradually slowed down, and then, just before it completely stopped, her heart suddenly leaped.

Look, this little child is so light, he must stay for three months this time to fatten the big girl a bit... and by the way, teach her some common sense about life.

Isn't his big girl a little pig doll

"... ... Can you talk to me?" He smiled broadly. After waiting and waiting, he realized that the girl was staring at the candy man on the street and was completely unwilling to answer his question.

"Big girl, I have something to say." He forced a bitter smile, feeling a mix of emotions inside. Is it really necessary to strictly adhere to the rules of the Yun family village? Or is there truly a senior brother outside that she likes? "Big girl, I will be staying for three months this time."

If he is not mistaken in his urgency, the girl should have gone to Yun Family Village to practice in the morning, but now it is already evening, where can she go? ... He originally planned to go out to look for someone, but since the beginning of the year, he has mentioned that the girl is already ten years old, and he has always been following her, sooner or later she will rebel against him

The girl is still young, her teeth are small and white, and she must look very cute when she smiles. Unfortunately, he has never seen her laugh heartily.

He instinctively wanted to hold the girl and eat together, but as soon as he touched her hand, she swatted it away with her little paw

He was taken aback, and all actions of clarity came to a halt

He could not conceal the disappointment that surged forth

He stole a glance at the girl, certain that once it was revealed, he would definitely be discovered, and thus, with an unchanging expression, swallowed the eggshell.

A person's character is predetermined. Scorpion Zhang Lin prefers to take the unconventional path in his practice, having long since paved a dead end for himself. Why should he take action? The next Lan Qing will inevitably be stained with blood, killing Zhang Lin for him. However, the next Lan Qing appears sooner than he had anticipated.

He... is really too selfish, isn't he? Knowing that the girl is somewhat naive and only knows how to mimic others, he never teaches her many details of life; as long as he is around, she does not need to learn those things

The dark and dull eyes followed that person, unknowingly, layers of dark clouds obscured the heart.

He left in the opposite direction, taking a shortcut without looking back. When he returned to the small house, he deliberately locked the door tightly. He turned around and saw that the girl had already climbed onto the bed on her own.

"Big girl, I couldn't make it in time for your birthday at the end of last year, so consider this a birthday gift? Although the hairpin is not valuable, it has accompanied me for quite a long time..." He laughed and took it off for her. "Indeed, it is still too small. In another two years, when you wear it, the big girl will definitely become very cute."

"Big girl? You must be Lan Qing's daughter, Big Girl, right?" called the person holding her

Does she always forget her mother? Clearly, the girl does not reject him; she has even started to rely on him. She can get angry with him and smile at him, and aside from not speaking, everything else is quite normal, as if returning to the joyful times with Uncle Lan. The girl is already six years old and should have long forgotten the memories from when she was two.

Your ordinary days have not been too long. Lan Qing, the head of the family has issued an order for you to return to the Lan family

Hurry up, if we delay any longer, we will miss the carriage

You have resolved your aunt's poison today, and I will help deliver medicine to Wenren Village. This time when I return, the girl can accompany me. This stall keeps opening and closing, how can business possibly be good? The girl is about to turn twelve, and as she grows, she will be happier. The more she grows, the more she cares for me, and I am truly delighted. Girl, will you always be with me, alright?

He always harbors a sense of fear, worried that if the girl learns everything, she will no longer need him. However, he is even more afraid that one day something might happen to him, and the girl, not understanding how to live, will find no one willing to care for a child who is not sufficiently clever for a lifetime.

She struggled desperately, but her arms and legs were completely unable to stretch in the water. The seawater rushed violently into her mouth and nose, and she opened her mouth in an attempt to make a sound, but these people held her down with fierce determination

The "Niuniu Noodle Stall" opens at noon

The view is still somewhat blurred, with several large heads swaying back and forth in her eyes

Now she does not know where she is, as if she has been looking back at the changes in the world through the eyes of the girl, witnessing the unusual expressions of every person, remembering every word that each person has said, even a trivial remark from a few years ago, which she can recite at this moment

He closed his eyes, his five fingers tightly pressed into his palm, the veins on the back of his hand bulging. ... As soon as Scorpion Zhang Lin died, the Yun family village knew his true colors, and the first to suspect him was himself; he absolutely could not take action ... . ... He instinctively thought of eighteen methods of slow slicing. Suddenly, a small footprint landed on his abdomen, and he immediately opened his eyes, as the girl kicked him in pain.

... ... '' Collect the footboard, and along with it, the people of Yunjiacun gently touch the little head of the small doll. '' Consider yourself lucky, little doll.

The girl smells really good, but it won't do, the sugar figurine cannot be put in the pocket, I will buy you some to eat tomorrow. He put away the sugar figurine for her, took a toothbrush and dipped it in the dental medicine, and smiled, saying: "Good girl, open your mouth."

The girl could not swim; as soon as she entered the sea, she swallowed several mouthfuls of seawater. She desperately tried to swim upwards, but there were people on both sides holding her down. Not only did they restrain her, but they also pulled her deeper into the water.

He quickly released his grip. "Big girl, I didn't mean to, I truly didn't mean to hurt your hand..."

He gently touched his forehead against hers, and she thought he was going to bump into her, so she lightly touched back.

The girl is in so much pain... In this world, even the demon god Lan Qing is cared for by someone. The girl knows that she does not regard him as her father; she treats him in a completely different manner than she does Guan Changyuan. In her little mind, she only acknowledges one father, and he is merely a person named Lan Qing.

The girl finished brushing her face with a frown, and after Lan Qing smiled and tidied up, she also got into bed. Usually, he sleeps fully clothed, but today he specifically took off his outer garment and tucked her in with the blanket

And what about the little flower? Uncle knows, it is the good luck little flower of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. You have also gotten one, who will you give it to? Is there any for Uncle...

She stamped her foot and angrily patted his hand

Big girl, don't sleep with me

If there is anyone in this world who would care about him, it must be Daniu. He still remembers that six months ago, when he left home, Daniu pouted her lips and accompanied him all the way to the city outskirts. Daniu has indeed kept him in her heart

The dark eyes concealed a sharp intent to kill, as Lan Qing lowered her head to look at the girl.

"This doll really hurts Dad..." Gongsun Zhi sighed. It is truly a waste to give such precious medicinal herbs to adults. Lan Qing deliberately sucked on the long medicinal herb, sucking and sucking, and after half of it was gone, the girl kept hitting his mouth, trying to stop him from eating more than half. He held back his laughter and continued to suck, and the girl, in a fit of anger, bit down on the other end, gnawing it off as if a horse-drawn carriage was running fast. In the end, her little red mouth bumped into Lan Qing's.

He laughed uncontrollably, and under her glare, he swallowed the sweet and sour candied fruit in one bite. He did not like such things at all, but in order to please the girl, he was willing to eat all the sweets from her precious bag.

The long whip of the large ship opposite broke the belt, and then struck towards the girl. The girl slipped under her feet, and with a splash, she fell into the sea.

In the past, he never knew that reaching the limits of happiness was a bittersweet experience; now, the pain from the girl makes him, makes him ... ...

She was eating the fruit, not looking out the door. Gongsun Zhi originally thought she was dependent on Lan Qing, unable to take her eyes off this man for a moment. Unexpectedly, she suddenly jumped off the chair and ran out of the shop

He only taught the girl to cook plain rice and vegetables, nothing has changed, this point remains unchanged

There is not much dust on her little shoes, indicating that Lan Qing is not making much effort to expand this little girl's social connections

He smiled, gently stroking her head, and took the opportunity to re-tie her somewhat messy black braid. Although he knew she was in a hurry to leave, he deliberately moved slowly, intent on competing for affection with the people from the Yun family outside.

Which neighbor is she familiar with? Could it be that a certain little boy has won her favor? He truly could not figure it out, and laughed, saying: "Let's go buy some sugar figurines and then go see the lanterns"

The small eyes stared at him angrily

In the future, apart from Aunt Jin Zhao and me, do not let anyone else eat, okay?" Seeing the confusion in her eyes, he understood that she did not comprehend his selfishness, and gently said: "Others have their own people they care for, Aunt Jin Zhao also has someone she cares for. I love Da Niu the most, and apart from Da Niu, no one else will care for me. The more Da Niu cares for others, the less she will care for me. Do you understand?"

He specifically sought medicine for today, and the young lady cannot follow him. He deliberately made her take Fu Linchun as her master. It does not matter how much she can learn, as long as she is Fu Linchun's disciple, the people of Yun Family Village will protect her in his absence. This is precisely his selfish intention

No matter how he looks at it, he believes that his silly girl is the most adorable little girl in the world

Who is lonely? From beginning to end, it is he who is lonely. He spontaneously took off the jade hairpin and gently squatted down to place it in her hair.

He raised his eyebrows and said with a smile

The girl rubbed her knee, not knowing whether to cry out in pain, hurriedly opened last year's bag, got up, and waited to receive the flowers

She ignored him, moved the brush and ink, and began to transcribe silently in front of him

The girl clearly wants to go see the lanterns, but she won't move unless he does. Today, her outfit is like in previous years, bright red like a large red envelope, with her fine, soft black hair styled into small braids, which was helped by the neighbor aunt.

"Please do come and visit the Lan family," the man said with a smile, tossing a jade hairpin to Lan Qing

Gongsun Zhi is quite the chatterbox, and it is rare to find a big girl who does not talk back and is willing to listen to his ramblings. Every year, he must come to bother the big girl a few times... Lan Qing does not mind; as long as the big girl does not resist and has an elder who cares for her, it is something he longs for.

Upon hearing this, the young man in blue suddenly turned around, and the jade hairpin was swaying right before his eyes

Big girl! The senior brothers are well aware of her foolishness, and no one is willing to help her; her chances of falling into the sea are too high. "Big girl, catch!" A senior brother tore off his belt and threw it towards her slender body.

You only need to remember one thing ... your Uncle Lan is not a human! Do not trust him, do not approach him! He is a venomous snake, a snake that has harmed us!

He smiled and casually tossed out several copper coins. The myriad of small flowers danced one by one into the big girl's bag

A good appearance always attracts people's favor, especially after Gongsun Zhi mentioned that the girl's mother had passed away, and that she was raised by her single father. The woman smiled gently as she accepted the small flower. "Little sister, thank you for your kind gesture"

Four years later

Gongsun Zhi's heart skipped a beat as she secretly glanced at Lan Qing

After a short while, Gongsun Zhi came out and sternly asked, "Who killed this person? Should I ask you?"

With a loud bang, she heard something explode with her own ears

He would not speak these words to outsiders, lest they detect his already distorted thoughts... Gongsun Zhi was right; a person's character is shaped from birth, and changing it is exceedingly difficult. He is just like Zhang Lin the Scorpion, except that he has Daniu. He is willing to change for Daniu; if Daniu does not like the smell of blood, he will avoid it. He thinks that he can definitely become an ordinary person, as long as he is given a little more time, he will achieve it

The disciples of Yun Jiazhuang were somewhat surprised that this young man could keep up with the speed of the horse-drawn carriage without tiring. However, upon further reflection, they considered that this young man was likely from the martial world, which made it less surprising to them.

Yet he always feels a bit afraid that the Yun family village will eventually take away the Big Girl's attention from him

Someone took out the hairpin from her hair

Someone on the roof of the car is folding up the pedal. Taking advantage of the crowd's attention directed towards the car, he gently kicked out a small stone

Clearly well-prepared! Is it aimed at Yunji Village or at Daniu

On the fifteenth day of the first month, Lan Qing closed up early and pulled Da Niu towards the street. Da Niu moved slowly, so he simply picked up this soft little flower fairy and ran towards the street

Big girl, remember, you only need to trust your own eyes! Do not believe anyone else, just trusting your eyes is enough! Even if you are foolish, as long as you look carefully, you will eventually understand everything!

Who taught her? Why does she understand?

He thinks that the girl is not fat enough, which may be related to her cooking skills. It doesn't matter, this time he intends to stay a little longer and help the girl regain her chubby little pig appearance

My child was born unable to speak, thank you for your kindness, boss. Lan Qing remained unfazed as she carried her into the vibrant street of lights

Lan Qing also noticed her sudden action. "Big girl!" she quickly put down the spoon and chased after her. She was not running towards him, but rather catching up with a woman who had just passed by the fruit stand.

She completely did not understand. With so many candied fruits, it wouldn't matter to share them with others, but since Lanqing cared for her, she should also care for Lanqing; she understood this principle. She gently bumped her forehead against his to indicate that she understood.

So slow... The scenes flowing in her eyes are so slow, starting from her childhood, each moment transitions to when she is twelve years old, every scene and every sentence slowly surge into her mind, clearly displayed before her eyes, then gradually flow back into her mind.

He already had two fruit pits in his mouth, and another one came. He was about to laugh himself to the ground, but fearing to hurt her feelings, he still allowed her to feed him.

The big girl with bright little eyes gazed at the small flowers that had fallen into the bag

His heartbeat had not yet calmed down, and he instinctively followed her finger to look at the food. ... White rice, one dish ... . ... Suddenly, his heart, which had leaped so high, became calm again

Moreover, this person possesses exceptional medical skills, and the young lady's good health is largely attributed to him

Big girl, you have quite the appetite. Alright, boss, bring me another one

"The girl is really well-behaved." His voice was slightly hoarse

Lan Qing squinted and observed, a look of surprise on her face. "The Lan family?"

The outstretched hand was swatted away by a small paw. Gongsun Zhi wore a look of dejection.

She loves to eat, and will just buy it another day. This silly child still does not understand how to fight for what she wants, and her temperament is indeed a bit of a disadvantage. He remembers that at her age, he already knew how to seize every opportunity. It doesn't matter; he particularly likes this temperament of hers. Since she does not understand how to fight for things, he will take care of her, and that is enough.

He maintained a sour and sweet taste in his mouth, and although he hadn't eaten breakfast yet, he enjoyed the way the girl cared for him.

"Your child cannot speak?" the boss said enthusiastically, "If he is not naturally mute, why not go to the temple and drink a bowl of talisman water? Zhang Dadong's child from West Street suddenly stopped speaking, but after drinking a bowl of talisman water, he recovered.

He will not be absent; only if the girl does not want him will he disappear from her life

The person shrugged and said

Merely circling the city took up most of the night, and the young lady felt a bit anxious, yet she was still busy opening her bag and handed him a handful of fragrant little flowers

Has he spoiled the girl too much, to the point that she does not understand certain aspects of life? When she is ill, she should see a doctor, rather than setting off fireworks; in the past, when she was unhappy, he would coax her with candied fruits, and over time, she came to believe that eating these treats would make her feel better when she was unwell.

Only a foolish girl would care for him, pity him, and love him

He looked around the small room. It was a very small room, so small that the dining table and the desk were combined. When the girl grows a bit older, they will have to move to a larger room, but the happiest days of his life since birth have been spent in this little room

Several of us have been removed from the Yun family estate, fortunately that foolish girl drowned. Lan Qing, you cannot escape the clan leader. That person laughed heartily: Last time you were subjected to the Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix by the clan leader, what will happen to you this time? If you wish to live in peace, as long as the clan leader is around, you are merely dreaming!

He took apart a string of copper coins and gently struck one coin, hitting a small white flower that a passerby had dropped. The white flower then turned and fell into the bag of the big girl

He thinks that it is more practical to consider how to raise a big girl with a fickle mind

"Lantern Festival good luck?" The woman was surprised as she looked at the clean, clumsy little girl who was busy trying to please her, and then she stole a glance at the young man who was holding the girl.

The night was brightly lit, with lanterns hanging high in a row outside the taverns, almost as bright as day. The groom called out:

Returning overnight, he felt somewhat fatigued and thus closed his eyes to rest his spirit

She is only five or six years old, still small and not very developed, and she cannot even compete with those girls who are fifteen or sixteen, quickly falling behind.

The girl is really obedient ... ... Do you miss me? '' She adjusted her bangs. Look, this way she resembles how she looked six months ago; it would be even better if she gained a little more weight

Usually, she would accompany him at the noodle stall. Whenever he had free time, he would teach her to read and write. It did not matter that she learned slowly; after all, he was always there, teaching her patiently. Sooner or later, she would understand.

Uh... Big girl, do you have any coins in your pocket? I... would like to borrow some, okay?'' If he remembered correctly, the big girl had stuffed all the red envelopes into her pocket.

"Mom, let's go, why pay attention to her?" The boy tugged at his mother and shot a glare at the girl behind him

He followed behind her and said

That was given to her by Lanqing! That was given to her by Lanqing!

When seeking medicine outside, he finds it difficult to fall asleep. Over the years, it is uncertain whether it is due to a life of comfort or the presence of a beautiful woman by his side, but he always sleeps very soundly in this room

Furthermore, she resembles Guan Changyuan, and if she is raised to be plump, naturally no one will recognize her. It would be best to raise her to the level of a small divine pig, so that no one can identify her, allowing the two of them to have a long-lasting future together

Lan Qing cast a discreet glance, noticing that many individuals disguised as common folk were hiding nearby. Was it his eagerness to return home to see Da Niu that made him overlook the danger? He pondered for a moment before looking back at the jade hairpin.

The big girl goes to the Lan family? He wouldn't even dare to think about the outcome. This hairpin is tightly cherished by the big girl. If the Lan family intends to take someone, the Yun family will definitely not let it go. It is highly likely that the Lan family, seeing the big girl as foolish, secretly abducted her.

She moved slightly

How could his big girl be like this

The girl jumped off the bed and playfully hit his hand. He bent down, allowing her to touch his forehead, and he closed his eyes with a smile, letting her touch him here and there

The young woman playfully tapped him with a brush, and a few drops of ink splattered onto his clothing, but he paid it no mind. He smiled and said, "Do you want me to get into bed first?"

He gently arranged her fine, soft hair and said softly

Being by his side, it is best to rely on him for everything, yet he does not feel ashamed of his selfishness

Look, where is your daughter's hairpin

After the carriage made a circuit around the city, it stopped in front of Lantern Street. The young ladies got off one by one, and the big girl clumsily tried to climb down. A disciple from the Yun family said, "Little one, let me carry you down."

The senior brothers who were originally following her tried to hold her back, but the entire deck suddenly cracked, causing everyone to panic and rush to grab the mast, which scattered them apart. The young girl reacted a moment too late and was suddenly pushed to the edge of the ship.

I am afraid that the lantern viewing is a pretense, and the true intention is to secretly kill this person out of vengeance. The scandalous affairs of the Jianghu wedding and funeral at Yun Family Village, as recorded in detail by the demon god Lan Qing, naturally reveal his every shameful connection.

Big girl, shall we skip the lanterns and head home early?

"Where are you from? Are you looking for Lan for something?" Lan Qing asked with a calm expression

He noticed that the girl frowned after smelling the blood, so he took a few steps back and pressed her face into his shoulder, soothingly saying: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, everything will be fine with me."

The girl ignored him, gazing intently at the entrance of the alley. Lan Qing steadied her expression and gently picked up the small body of the girl.

Fortunately, this time the cold was not severe; he expelled the sweat from his body and felt fine. Suddenly, a steaming towel was placed over his forehead

Every year on the fifteenth day of the first month, there is always this New Year welcoming event, which the people enjoy immensely. The young lady also loves to participate, and although in previous years she has always been by the side, ever since that year when the young lady went missing during the carriage ride, he trusts no one but himself, and he is determined to follow the carriage every year until the end

What is wrong with her? Is she going to die?

"Good girl, big girl." He forced a smile, his body already drenched in cold sweat

Look at what he has seen? Once he believed the rumors spread by the head of the Lan family, he was pressed to the ground and subjected to the whims of the people in the martial world

"Master Wu, it is Scorpion Zhang Lin who died in the tavern, and the condition of his body is rather unsightly." Indeed, it is Scorpion Zhang Lin! Gongsun Zhi's heart trembled, and he stepped in to take a closer look.

The girl has almost no precious hair accessories, and even her earrings are not valuable. He could buy her those little gold ornaments by selling a few more bowls of noodles, but he does not. He fears that someone might take a liking to her valuable possessions and harm her.

The current life is something he has longed for, and he is reluctant to let it go. Therefore, he is willing to release the ugliness of the past. The ridiculous Yun Family Village surprisingly insists on protecting such lowly behavior. Without questioning the reasons, as long as no one dies, it is acceptable. He has long seen through this filthy underworld.

His heart was flooded with a mix of sweetness and bitterness, and he murmured:

The girl looks at the boy, then at the woman, raising her hands full of small flowers high, intending to give them to the woman

It is unclear how much time has passed, but a light blanket has been draped over him. A smile plays at the corners of his mouth, as he knows that the girl has returned home.

He affectionately stroked her head. Having a father like Lan Qing is hard to say whether it is good or bad. Every time he comes to visit the little girl, she is always sitting at the noodle stall, not playing with others to avoid being bullied. However, her world consists only of Lan Qing and Li Jinzhao, which is definitely not a good thing

It is only spring now, how could it be cold...? Is it to keep him warm? This silly girl actually has a thoughtful side.

Demon God Lanqing

Lan Qing caught it and examined it closely, feeling a chill in her heart

There is no other way, there is only one girl

He smiled as he took off her little shoes and brushed the petals off her body He could not hide his amusement

Once he makes his move, the Yun family village will have a reason to forcibly seize the big girl

Numerous officials hurried past, interrupting their conversation. Gongsun Zhi exclaimed, "With so many officials in this city, there must have been a murder incident..."

She touched his smooth forehead

... ... Orchid ... ... Orchid ... ... Green ... ...

In the small cabin where the two of them lived, there was no trunk, for whenever the girl saw it, she would glare at him angrily for several days, as if recalling something... But if she wanted to stare, let her stare; as long as the girl did not ignore him, he did not mind.

No, no, he has wasted too much time searching for medicine, he must conclude this as soon as possible... Otherwise, otherwise... he is always afraid that the girl will forget him, afraid that the girl will abandon him...

Gongsun Zhi observed the father and daughter, taking everything into account.

He did not even dare to blink, fearing that a single blink would blur his vision. He gently rested his chin on the top of her small head, his heart racing. He made every effort to suppress his heartbeat, lest the big girl sleeping against his chest be disturbed by the noise.

"Big girl, as long as you are willing to come back, I will be here waiting for you, always." He smiled slightly. Two years later—

He has eggshell in his mouth

However, the variables in the future are too numerous, and he will always be in pain for the girl. But... what if something unexpected happens? What should the girl do then

He opened her delicate little hand. He smiled

Lan Qing smiled freely and said, "Since Zhang Lin came to the city from the Scorpion Clan, hasn't the Yun family been watching me day and night? How can I act? Zhang Lin once practiced evil techniques and took advantage of my inability to counterattack when I was struck by the Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix, pressing me to the ground. Back then, I acted out of desperation to survive, and today, for the sake of Da Niu, I will not act recklessly again." He noticed that Da Niu was struggling to breathe, so he relaxed his grip, allowing her to look around. "Moreover, I cannot leave Da Niu for even a moment. If something happens to her, who will take responsibility? Does Fifth Master think I would bring Da Niu to commit a crime?"

The girl Kuntun gently tapped him, pulling his hand into her embrace. Earlier, when she practiced her calligraphy, she had not worn her little gloves, but now she put them on, enveloping his hand in the warmth of her gloved hands

Gongsun Zhi glanced over and smiled

The demon god Lan Qing truly does not resemble the demon god Lan Qing anymore... I apologize, but the master's order is to kill Miss Lan, leaving no survivors

The head of the family despises the illegitimate offspring of the Lan family wandering outside. It truly took us a considerable effort to kill her. Taking advantage of her coming out to meet you, we sent her into the river to feed the fish. Otherwise, how could we have so easily obtained this hairpin

He heard a clattering noise coming from the kitchen, the sound was incredibly loud, and he almost couldn't suppress his laughter. The girl was cooking; before he left home, he had taught her how to cook, but he also mentioned that she could always go to Yun's residence for free meals and drinks. This girl is truly obedient, but he mustn't let her know that for the past six months she has been cooking and eating by herself, as it would break his heart.

The girl nodded her head and realized that her nodding had brushed against Lan Qing's forehead, so she quickly pressed her forehead back against his.

Yun Jiazhuang will not let the girl go missing, so he can just wait at home

The officials entered the tavern, and a considerable number of common people gathered outside. A disciple from the Yun family village stepped forward and spoke in a low voice:

After the meal, he felt a bit weary, after all, he had been traveling for several days. The girl was still focused on practicing her calligraphy, and he truly did not know whether it was good or bad to have her take Fu Linchun as her teacher. A strict teacher produces outstanding students, but his girl did not need to learn to be exceptionally skilled; it was enough that he cared for her.

The girl before me seems to have grown a size larger. Clearly, six months ago, she was a round little doll that he had raised, but now, although she is still somewhat plump, her features have begun to diverge from those of a doll, and her body has also gained a bit of height.

If possible, he does not wish for the girl to learn martial arts; by not learning martial arts, she will not be involved in the world of martial arts. He will protect her for his entire life

The big girl nodded, while the small-eyed one eagerly squeezed towards the carriage

If it goes any faster, won't the girl just draw a line of separation between the two of them? The next time he goes home, will the girl not recognize him?

"Uncle Jiang, the boatman said that a handsome young man did not board the ship. Many people died on the spot, and in the end, he was injured and taken away. From the description, it must be the one called Lan Qing."

She grabbed the startled woman and proudly pulled out all the small flowers from her pocket

"I dare not open my eyes," he said softly. "Big girl, this time I will be away from home for six months, the longest I have ever been. How much has the big girl grown? She is already ten years old." He reached out to touch her arm, and couldn't help but frown. Then he touched her face and exclaimed, "Big girl, why have you lost weight again?"

The medicine took effect immediately, and Lan Qing made a great effort to steady himself, while several members of the Lan family stepped forward to support his weakened body. The man raised his eyebrows and said slowly:

In recent years, Gongsun Zhi has been observing in secret. Although Lan Qing's way of showing affection is somewhat selfish, it cannot be denied that Lan Qing treats Daniu like a rare treasure.

The girl glanced at him, then at the delicious sugar figurines, and angrily gave him a light slap, taking out the red envelope he had given her from her pocket

He promptly embraced her small body, otherwise she would have rolled down the hill all the way

The little girl's eyes sparkled as she reached out her hand to take the sweet candy person.

The appearance of Guan Changyuan has become somewhat vague, but now, looking at the big girl, I always feel that there is a Guan Changyuan standing behind her... No, it shouldn't be like this

"Little sister, your flowers are a bit wilted, I won't buy them..."

Lan Qing's eyes were bloodshot, gritting his teeth, he lunged forward with great force

As soon as he spoke, the little eyes of the girl lit up

"Big girl, is the noodle cooked well? No matter how well I cook this noodle, it must be to your liking."

The girl is truly well-behaved

Lan Qing's dark eyes fixed on that person, then glanced towards the third young master of the Yun family at the other end. The third young master appeared to be casually admiring the lanterns.

I thought it would take some time to persuade you, and perhaps I would even have to fight you. I didn't expect that someone with a daughter would be so different. " He threw a pill from his sleeve. "I am concerned that you might cause trouble midway, so I kindly ask you to cooperate more for the sake of your daughter.

The girl suddenly opened her mouth and exhaled a breath towards him

His heart skipped a beat. Is it the big girl taking care of him? In the past, it was always he who took care of the big girl. When did the big girl start taking care of him?

She took out the colorful fireworks, and Lan Qing quickly pressed down on her small hand upon seeing them

She touched his neck and large hand until she was satisfied, then took out some preserved fruit from her pocket and stuffed it into his mouth

The Demon God Lan Qing, that person laughed and said: "We have been watching you for a long time. If we hadn't been looking for opportunities to confirm, we really wouldn't have been able to tell that you are the Demon God Lan Qing of the Lan family. How did you end up like this? Not even a hint of charm can be found; how have you practiced your skills? Your gaze is so upright that I almost thought I had the wrong person."

Seeing this, he smiled. In the past, it was he who taught the girl to write, but after he went to seek medicine, it was Fu Linchun who taught her martial arts and reading. He looked up and saw that the girl's writing was neat and orderly; if it weren't for her slight foolishness, he thought, perhaps she could have been the second Guan Changyuan.

She pointed at another little sugar figurine

"Big girl, learn to brush by yourself, and there will be new candy to eat tomorrow morning." He coaxed, rolling a small candy out from his palm

"Are we going back to the Lan family? Good, let's go"

The young man preparing to board the ship pretended not to hear.

I am fine..." After a pause, he continued, "I just feel a bit unwell; a good sleep will do. Big girl, you don't need to practice your calligraphy, just keep me company.

Big girl

"Big girl! Big girl!" The senior brothers were taken aback, disregarding their own safety, and hurriedly slid to the side of the boat

Under the gaze of the girl, he peacefully closed his eyes

Lan Qing cleared his throat lightly, intending to step forward and pick up the girl, suggesting that they go to see the streetlights instead. However, to his surprise, she once again exerted herself to get up and chased after the horse-drawn carriage

Several years later

It seemed that someone was shouting "Big Girl" in front of her, but her eyes could no longer see, and after the explosion, she could no longer hear. The only sensation she had was a flow in her mind... drop by drop, it flowed as if something was continuously flowing out of her brain... slowly returning to her limbs and bones...

Lan Qing was momentarily taken aback, then smiled and opened her mouth, allowing the big girl to feed her the medicinal herbs

Lan Qing's curiosity was not strong, so she stood at the very edge of the crowd

It turns out that the young lady still remembers the clothes she wore on the day her mother passed away

Not long after, the aroma of the meal filled the room, and a small hand patted his shoulder

The person was taken aback for a moment, then immediately smiled

Where do coincidences come from in this world

The boat was originally maintaining a certain distance, but suddenly, as if it had lost control, it crashed straight ahead. In an instant, the small boat filled with people shattered apart.

"Madam has misunderstood." Gongsun Zhi approached with a smile, his expression unchanged, and said: "This child received good fortune during the Lantern Festival a few days ago and wanted to share it with the neighbors. She must have seen that Madam possesses a noble temperament and wished for Madam to share in the joy of the year."

A few years ago, Jin Zhao encountered an accident; she had once saved him out of loyalty, and naturally, he should repay her... His change can be considered good. Even now, he still believes that there is no one in the world worth trusting except for Jin Zhao. However, he must learn to believe in order to live an ordinary life with Da Niu

He slightly lifted his eyelids, and she was sitting at the edge of the bed, rummaging through her treasure bag

The stone, neither light nor heavy, struck the girl's knee, causing Lan Qing to wince in pain as she watched her lunge towards the pedal

"Eh, what is going on? What is happening with that ship over there?" someone shouted

He was silent for a moment, then asked with a smile

Gongsun Zhi gently patted the girl's head and smiled, "Little one, would you like to accompany Uncle to eat some candy?" He intended to divert the girl's attention. It was likely that the woman had reminded the girl too much of her own mother, which was why she had been waiting so long.

It is precisely because she is naive that everything she does comes from the heart, without the slightest pretense or calculation

In these two years, I will definitely find a way to obtain the antidote for your aunt Jin Zhao, just bear with the loneliness a little longer... At this point, he couldn't help but chuckle.

He received it with a hearty laugh. "Big girl, you gave me flowers, I am truly delighted... There are more in the bag, are you going to give some to Aunt Jin Zhao?"

To invite the doctor, he goes to ask; she is not happy, he comes to comfort her; she does not need to learn... However, when the girl comforts him, he is very happy. If one day he is no longer here, what should the girl do? This thought suddenly leaped into his mind. He instinctively avoided this question.
