Chapter 109

Lin Laishun didn't intend to hide it from Yan Xiaowan, but he downplayed the danger and said with a grin: "The county magistrate asked me to lead some skilled people to investigate the details of those horse thieves. The danger is not great."

Yan Xiaowan curled her lips in dissatisfaction, and her uncle started to treat her like a kid again, is she so easy to deceive?If it's really not dangerous, why did the magistrate pay 30 taels of silver?

However, her uncle is a man who has been on the battlefield. Although this matter is dangerous, it is worth fighting for such a high return.After all, their Lin family's background is too weak, only relying on her uncle's hunting and the family's income, they don't know how to marry her second uncle in the year of the monkey.Pity her second uncle who has been a bachelor for 30 years, and if he doesn't marry a daughter-in-law, he may not be able to get a wife in the future.

Lin Laishun looked at his niece, who was very obedient and obedient today, and asked tentatively, "Xiaowan, is that how you react? Why don't you persuade me not to do it when it's dangerous?"

Yan Xiaowan rolled her eyes towards the sky, spread her hands and said, "Uncle, I won't listen to you even if I persuade you. I won't do such unrewarding things. Hmph, it's better to go home as soon as possible and clean up if you have this spare time. I'll bring you the medicinal materials you need."

Lin Laishun rubbed her little head, patted her on the shoulder and comforted her: "Don't worry."

Yan Xiaowan held onto his sleeve tightly, and said with fear on her face: "Uncle, you are the pillar of our family. If you fall down, our family will be broken up. My grandparents will definitely take my mother and my mother by force." I took it back to Yan's house, and then our mother and daughter will really have nothing to look forward to."

"Uncle will protect himself, don't worry." Lin Laishun looked at his niece with a smile on his face, and assured her again.What the little girl said seemed to be true, but he knew that Yan Xiaowan was just trying to persuade him to protect herself.

In his eyes, the niece is very big-minded, very smart, willing to endure hardships, and has a tenacious personality. How could it be impossible for a person like her to live as miserable as she said.

Lin Laishun believed that even if he lost his life when he went out to do business this time, Yan Xiaowan could support the family.It's just that as an elder, he couldn't bear to let her bear such a heavy burden at such a young age.

Yan Xiaowan nodded, and suddenly she raised her head and asked, "Uncle, do you want to go to the iron shop and make some handy knives?"

"I just wanted to borrow a dagger from you." Lin Laishun had no intention of buying a knife. Those people saw that Yan Xiaowan was treated differently by Guan Qingyun, and sent many good things, including several sharp ones. dagger.

"A dagger? I'm carrying it with me." While speaking, Yan Xiaowan bent down and untied the dagger from between her legs, and brought it to Lin Laishun.

Lin Laishun thought he was dazzled, but Yan Xiaowan's familiar and fast movements made him, a man who had been on the battlefield, feel ashamed, "Xiaowan, why are you so thoughtful?"

"Uncle, what are you referring to?" Yan Xiaowan followed his line of sight, grinned a little embarrassedly, and said, "I think it's so convenient, and it's also possible to stab the villain when he's not prepared. .”

"You figured it out yourself?" The shock and pride in Lin Laishun's eyes almost overflowed. He knew that his niece was smart, but he really didn't expect her to be so smart.

"Hey, that's right." Yan Xiaowan touched her head and smiled embarrassedly, then she said mysteriously: "Uncle, I also picked some poisonous weeds and put them on the blade. There are some poisonous weeds left at home, how about Help you put it on too?"

"You know poisonous weeds?" Lin Laishun was stunned. He thought that Yan Xiaowan only knew those herbs that heal wounds and remove blood stasis, but he didn't expect that she would know so much.

Yan Xiaowan counted with her fingers: "I recognize poisonous snakes, centipedes, scorpions, etc. Those poisonous weeds grow near their nests. Uncle, why do you look at me like that? Didn't I used to run up the mountain every day? You’ll understand it after seeing it a lot, and it’s not difficult, just pay more attention and you’ll understand.”

Lin Laishun felt very sad when he thought of his niece's past hardships, "Xiaowan, I'm really sorry for you."

Yan Xiaowan was most afraid that her family members would show guilty expressions, so she quickly changed the topic: "Uncle, it's getting late, let's go to work quickly. There is a banquet tonight."

Lin Laishun went to find friends, while Yan Xiaowan first went to the pharmacy to sell those few Ganoderma lucidum plants with excellent quality, and after taking the money, she went straight to the embroidery workshop and bought a lot of long and thin embroidery needles.She was going to smear poison on the needle, and asked her second uncle to help make a wooden launcher for Lin Laishun's self-defense.This thing is light and does not take up space, and it can be used as a hidden weapon to poison the enemy by surprise.

She bought needles and went to buy some sugar and dried fruit. When she went to Ye Yongan's house to meet relatives tomorrow, she would give her dry brother Qijin as a snack.After buying the miscellaneous things, Yan Xiaowan carried the things and walked to the Golden Building.

Walking halfway, Yan Xiaowan accidentally saw her second uncle, Lin Laibao, with his back to her, squatting in front of a girl who sold herself to bury her father.The girl cried miserably, her small face was pear-blossomed with rain, as delicate as a little white flower that had been ravaged by a storm.

Yan Xiaowan squinted her eyes slightly, stood calmly in the crowd, stared at Lin Laibao and the girl closely, and at the same time did not forget to collect information from the people onlookers.

According to the girl, she traveled all the way with her father and made a living by selling folk art. Unfortunately, her father was seriously ill and died. In order for her father to be buried in peace, she is a weak woman. Sell ​​yourself.

Highlights: outsiders, those who sell music, sell their bodies to be buried, and are worth a few taels.

Yan Xiaowan learned from the surrounding residents of Nan'an County that in the past few years, there were often girls who were sold to bury their relatives in the county, and most of them were bought home to become daughter-in-laws.But in the past two years, the harvest has improved a lot, and there are very few things about selling one's body.

Yan Xiaowan was suspicious, her eyes fell on the girl inch by inch, looking all the way down from her head.Her eyes lingered on the girl's hand for a long time. The girl claimed to play the pipa, but her hand always gave Yan Xiaowan a strange feeling.

After observing for a long time, Yan Xiaowan decided to take the initiative to attack. She squeezed behind Lin Laibao and yelled: "Father, why are you here? Do you want to marry me a second mother?"

When Lin Laibao heard his niece's crisp "Father", his legs felt weak, and he almost fell to the ground: "Xiao Wan, what are you talking about? I just feel sorry for this girl and want to give her some money for emergency use."

Yan Xiaowan clasped Lin Laibao's shoulder with one hand, squeezed it hard and asked, "Oh, dad, how much money do you plan to give this beautiful sister?"

No matter how stubborn Lin Laibao was, he knew that Yan Xiaowan was threatening him, so he bit the bullet and told the truth: "One money."

Yan Xiaowan smiled very innocently: "Beautiful sister, my father gave you the money for emergency use. Although the money is not much, it is enough to buy a coffin!"

 Good night! ~
