Xu Zhiyan skillfully smoothed Xu Yannan's hair.

"Brother, don't worry, I'm not hurt at all, and I even saved someone!"

Looking at her proud little appearance, Xu Yannan softened his eyebrows and gently pinched her earlobe.

"We, Nannan, are great, but Nannan, you have been encountering bad things and people recently. Let's go to the temple in the afternoon to get rid of bad luck, and ask for a peace charm by the way."

When Xu Zhiyan heard this, she knew that he knew about Mrs. Xu and Xu Liuyin going to find her.

"Don't worry, brother, I haven't had any contact with those people, but it's really time to go and ask for the peace charm. My uncle and brother will be leaving in a few days. I'll bring them the peace charm, as well as those powders and ointments. They all have to be brought along as well.”

She was like a little housekeeper, constantly thinking about what she needed.

When others saw this, they would only laugh at her for being too worried at such a young age. Only Xu Yannan understood her nervousness and fear, so he rubbed the back of her neck soothingly and watched her suddenly calm down.

"Nanny, don't be afraid. My uncle has been on the battlefield for a long time and has rich experience in leading troops in battles. Although Yanqing is young, he is very capable and smart. Even if he encounters any danger, he will definitely be able to avert the danger."

His warm and steady voice soothed the heat in Xu Zhiyan's heart.

"I'm not doubting their ability, I just feel that the weather is getting colder and colder. Warfare in winter requires several times more military supplies than in other seasons. I'm worried that they can't keep up."

"Brother, please help me. I have stocked up on a lot of cotton clothes and trousers, as well as a lot of fast food. Help me deliver those things to the army and to every soldier."

In the past, the court was cracking down on corruption, and many officials no longer dared to blatantly "steal" things. However, the long-standing thing of taking kickbacks still cannot be completely eliminated.

And what she said meant that the supplies she gave out did not want to get through the hands of thieves.

This was no simple matter, but Xu Yannan agreed.

"Brother, help you. Now you go and pack up. We are going to leave for Nan'en Temple. Taking into account the distance, we have to spend the night there so we have enough time."

Just pass it.

Xu Zhiyan asked Xiaoxi to simply pack her supplies, but Xiaoxi packed a large box of things. She was dumbfounded and leaned out of the car window.

"Why so many?"

Xiaoxi still thinks that there is not much. "This is not much at all. The slaves have packed everything according to your daily life. Even because of time constraints, many things have not been packed out."

Xu Zhiyan's scalp was numb.

"Okay, okay, that's it, get in the car, we're leaving."

……

The journey was long but smooth, and they arrived at the temple before dark.

Long before them, there was a guard who rushed to report the news first. At this time, a table of vegetarian food was prepared in the temple and waiting for them. Xu Zhiyan rarely tried vegetarian food, so she felt the novelty and forgot about it. After riding in the carriage for most of the day, my back ached.

"Brother, this bean roll looks delicious. Try it."

She gave Xu Yannan everything she thought was delicious before eating it herself.

One bite, it tastes better than expected.

Seeing that she was eating happily, Xu Yannan's voice became softer unconsciously.

"Have a good rest tonight, get up early tomorrow, and go with your elder brother to meet the abbot, okay?"

The fame of this temple comes from its abbot. It is said that this abbot is the youngest and most Buddhist-minded in history, and he is also particularly good at interpreting fortunes.

Xu Zhiyan was also quite curious, so she agreed without hesitation. She got up early the next day, put on simple clothes and went to visit the abbot with Xu Yannan. The abbot is younger than the rumors say, and his appearance is quite handsome, but he has been accompanied by the ancient Buddha with a green lantern for a long time, and the indifferent compassion between his eyebrows makes people dare not think bad thoughts about his appearance.

Xu Yannan was the first to speak out.

"Abbott, I've heard that you are very good at interpreting lots. I brought my sister here to ask for your help in interpreting lots. I would like to ask if you are willing."

The abbot looked at Xu Zhiyan quietly.

"I have a destiny with this benefactor."

The implication is that I am willing to help Xu Zhiyan interpret the lottery.

With a smile on her face, Xu Yannan took the lottery tube handed over by the abbot and handed it to Xu Zhiyan. She imitated the actions of others in her memory and shook out a lottery.

The abbot held the lotus and meditated.

"The donor obviously comes from a wealthy family. He has been loved by many people since he was a child, but he thinks too much. I only have one thing to say here. Donor, please be open-minded. Some things just need to be allowed to take their own course."

The thing that Xu Zhiyan always kept in mind was that her uncle and brother were about to leave for a long distance. But the abbot's words were equivalent to directly saying that everything she did was in vain. Her eyes instantly became red and bloodshot, and she kept smiling. His face also darkened.

"Abbott, this sign should be quite difficult to understand. Please read it again."

The abbot shook his head.

"One sign, no two."

Xu Zhiyan turned around and left.

Xu Yannan didn't know why his sister suddenly acted like this, but he chose to follow her away. He followed Xu Zhiyan quietly, waiting for her to slow down and stop before he stepped forward.

"Nanny, if you have any sad things, don't keep it in your heart. You can tell your elder brother and he will do his best to help you."

A pampered child couldn't bear such words of comfort when he was sad. Xu Zhiyan turned around and threw herself into Xu Yannan's arms, clutching his clothes tightly, her whole body shaking from crying.

"That bald donkey must be a liar! A liar!"

Xu Yannan followed her back up and down.

Instead of echoing her words, he just waited for her to calm down and then asked softly what caused her emotional breakdown.

This is the second time he asked.

Xu Zhiyan answered with sobs.

"When I was drawing lots, I was thinking about the safety of my uncle and brother. I was thinking about what I could do to help them if they encountered any danger. But when I drew the lot, I was told that all my efforts were in vain, which meant that they... …I can’t help, I can only watch.”

Xu Yannan didn't know that she had been anxious about this, and secretly cursed himself for not caring enough about her.

"Nanny, maybe you really have misunderstood. Didn't the abbot just say let nature take its course? Maybe he was implying that you are overthinking, and my uncle and the others won't be surprised."

"Then why did he advise me to be more liberal?"

This was the crux of Xu Zhiyan's breakdown. Xu Yannan failed to explain this sentence in time, but in just a few seconds, when he came up with an explanation, her mood had calmed down.

He didn't know if she was really stable, but he couldn't test it, so he could only pretend to be stupid and take her to ask for the peace charm.

Because of this incident, they went down the mountain earlier than expected. When they got home, they met Xu Yanqing who was going to the training ground to train. Xu Zhiyan insisted on going together. Xu Yanqing had already indulged her and agreed.
