Chapter 18

At this time, Xu Lian was hanging clothes in the yard, but she suddenly heard Xu Ning's voice.

Then he saw Xu Ning push the door and enter. He held a wine jar in his hand and a big knife on his back. He looked dusty.

"You're back."

Xu Lian smiled on her face.

She quickly put the washing basin in her hand on the ground and greeted her.

This was Xu Ning's first escort. Although she followed Tao Yungang, she was still worried.

At the moment, seeing Xu Ning returning intact, Xu Lian's worry was relieved.

"This is the wine for my brother-in-law."

Xu Ning handed the wine jar to Xu Lian.

In fact, before leaving Kangyun County, Xu Ning bought two jars of wine for his brother-in-law Tao Yunchuan.

But in the subsequent fight, one jar of wine was broken, so only one jar was brought back.

"Spending money again."

Xu Lian took over the wine jar and habitually said a word to her brother.

But compared with before, there was no more blame in her tone.

Now that her family has savings, her brother has become a martial artist. Xu Lian no longer cares about the expenses in life.

"I'll wash it first and change my clothes."

Xu Ning felt sticky on himself at this time.

"Put your clothes in the basin and I'll wash them for you."

Xu Lian said.

"I see, sister."

Xu Ning is not hypocritical and should say.

But just two steps away, Xu Lian suddenly stopped Xu Ning.

She first saw the blood on the blade behind Xu Ning, and then noticed that there was a dry dark red on Xu Ning's body.

"Is this blood on you?"

Xu Lian frowned slightly.

Xu Ning paused, nodded and said, "yes, I met a group of thieves on the road. They fought and dared to run away."

Xu Ning didn't hide it, but he hid all the danger of the situation.

He didn't want to worry his sister.

However, although Xu Ning spoke lightly, Xu Lian's face changed slightly.

"Are you hurt?"

Xu Lian came up and looked at Xu Ning.

Seeing this, Xu Ning shook his head: "no injury, look..."

With that, Xu Ning turned around in place, and then jumped twice. His movements looked very smooth.

Xu Lian was relieved: "that's good..."

After that, Xu Ning took off his clothes, washed them, and put on the clean clothes brought by Xu Lian.

A repair, whether physical or mental fatigue, is swept away in a short time after returning home.

Xu Ning was refreshed.

"Is my uncle back?"

Xu Ning had just cleaned his hair in the house when he heard Tao Tao entering the door.

The little girl just went home after going crazy with her little partner outside.

Soon, Tao Tao trotted all the way and pushed open the door of Xu Ning's house.

"Uncle!"

Tao Tao saw Xu Ning coming back, grinned, rushed to Xu Ning and hugged his waist.

Seeing Tao Tao's happy face, Xu Ning couldn't help laughing.

But he still grabbed Tao Tao's pigtail and pulled her away from himself.

"Peach, stay away from me. You're covered in dirt. I've just washed it."

Tao Tao doesn't mind Xu Ning's dislike.

"Come here."

After opening Tao Tao, Xu Ning called her to the table.

Tao Tao leaned over and stood on tiptoe, revealing half his head on the table.

"You see, do you like it?"

With that, Xu Ning took out a wooden hairpin from the package.

The wooden Zan hairpin is blue, with simple patterns on it, which looks exquisite and beautiful.

"This is for me?"

Tao Tao tilted his head and looked at Xu Ning with his mouth open, with an exaggerated expression unique to children.

"Here you are."

Xu Ning said, putting the hairpin in Tao Tao's hand.

Tao Tao took the green wood hairpin and held it in his hands, as if he were holding some rare treasure.

She stared at the wooden hairpin, her eyes seemed to be shining.

After a while, Tao Tao burst into laughter.

As soon as she turned and ran out, she shouted, "Mom, look, my brother-in-law has brought me a present!"

"This silly child..."

Xu Ning was amused by Tao Tao.

Before, the family was poor. Xu Lian's only wooden hairpin was given to her by Tao Yunchuan when she got married.

Xu Lian has always been a treasure. Tao Tao wants to take it, but Xu Lian won't let it, so Tao Tao has always regarded the wooden hairpin as a very precious thing.

Now Xu Ning gives her a more beautiful wooden hairpin, which directly makes Tao Tao happy.

After that, Xu Ning also gave another wooden hairpin to Xu Lian.

Xu Lian is much more calm than Tao Tao, but after receiving the gift, the corners of her eyes have been bent, and Yingying can't hide her smile.

"Why hasn't my father come back?"

At the dinner table, the three waited for Tao Yunchuan to come back.

Tao Tao still holds the wooden hairpin in her hand. Xu Lian asks her to put it down first. She doesn't agree.

"It should be fast."

Xu Lian glanced at the door.

Just then, Tao Yunchuan pushed the door in.

He was in a hurry. Although his legs and feet were inconvenient, he obviously looked in a hurry.

"Xu Ning, is Xu Ning back?"

Before entering the house, Tao Yunchuan asked at the top of his voice, with concern in his tone.

"Brother in law, I'm back."

Xu Ning quickly got up from the table, went out, held Tao Yunchuan and took him into the house.

"Come back, just come back..."

Tao Yunchuan breathed heavily, and his forehead was covered with sweat.

Seeing this, Xu Lian took a towel and wiped Tao Yunchuan's sweat: "Why are you in such a hurry?"

"I'm not worried about something happening to Xu Ning!"

Tao Yunchuan coughed and explained, "on my way back, I heard that brother Tao Yungang had an accident this time. On the way back, I was robbed by horse bandits. Someone was seriously injured and three died! I was almost frightened, so I hurried back. I was afraid of an accident for Xu Ning."

"Has it been spread..."

Xu Ning didn't expect that less than half an hour later, the attack on Tao Yungang's escort had spread all over taojiazhuang.

"Three people died?"

Xu Lian was stunned and looked at Xu Ning.

Xu Ning didn't mention it at all.

Seeing this, Xu Ning knew he couldn't hide it, so he told Tao Yunchuan and Xu Lian what happened.

"So dangerous..."

Hearing the process, Xu Lian lost her original smile and looked at her brother with fear.

Although Tao Tao is young, she vaguely understands that the wooden hairpin in her hand was brought to her by her uncle's danger.

"Don't follow the escort in the future."

Xu Lian immediately opened her mouth and said with a serious face. Her tone didn't give Xu Ning room to discuss at all.

Tao Yunchuan also stared at Xu Ning and didn't speak. He obviously agreed with his wife's words.

Xu Ning knew he couldn't resist, so he replied, "OK... I won't escort the car in the future."

Now, with their own strength, entering Yunze mountain to obtain resources and then sell them, they can also get a lot of income. There is no need to do something that worries my sister and brother-in-law.

Seeing that Xu Ning should come down, Tao Yunchuan and Xu Lian's faces eased a lot.

"All right, eat."

Tao Yunchuan waved his hand and the family began to eat dinner.

……

Xu Ning prepared to rest for two days, and then went into the mountain again.

The next morning, Xu Ning first went to the village to pick up a few buckets of water, then went outside the village and cut some firewood in the woods outside the village.

While walking in the village, Xu Ning obviously felt that the people in the village were much more enthusiastic about themselves.

If you are not familiar with yourself, you will take the initiative to come up and say hello to yourself. If you know someone you know before, you will hold yourself to talk and praise your righteous act of risking to rescue Tao Yungang and others yesterday.

In only half a day, Xu Ning, a man with a foreign surname, had spread all over taojiazhuang in the face of the powerful horse bandit leader.

"Xu Ning!"

Xu Ning was carrying firewood. Before he got home, he heard someone call himself.

I saw a girl with a long gun coming towards herself.

"Tao Ye?"

Xu Ning recognized the man.

It was Tao Ye, the granddaughter of Tao Jingxing, the patriarch of Tao family, who received the reward of internal skill spring breeze formula with herself.

"Brother Ning, I really have you."

Tao ye came over and manly hammered Xu Ning's chest.

Xu Ning was a little uncomfortable.

"The strong wind Sabre technique is a great achievement. Those who dare to sneak into the interior are really fierce."

Tao ye had always thought that Xu Ning was a minor success of the strong wind Sabre technique. She didn't know that Xu Ning had achieved great success when she received the reward that day until the news spread yesterday.

It's not worth mentioning the small achievement of external skill at the age of 17, but it's a talent at the age of 17.

External skill cultivation and understanding are so good that internal skill will not be too bad.

"Everyone praised me too much..." Xu Ning said modestly, "the enemy was killed by Uncle gang. I just helped to attract a little attention, that's all."
