Now, she is free and carefree.
That day, just as she and Hua Bao were about to go out, they bumped into Hua Fengyu at the door.
"Big brother?"
"Is Lan'er going out?"
Hua Fengyu, dressed in a blue scholar's robe, remained indifferent, holding a book in his hand, looking completely out of place in this mountain stronghold.
"Just getting bored, thinking of going out for a stroll. What, bro? Want to come along?"
Mo Lan regretted her words as soon as she finished speaking, as she and Hua Fengyu were not yet familiar enough to travel together freely.
"You should focus on your studies. I was just saying." Mo Lan glanced at the book in his hand and spoke instinctively.
Hua Fengyu gripped the book in his hand, then suddenly smiled.
"Lan'er is overthinking it. Studying won't make a difference if you go out for a while. It's good to go out for a walk."
"Well?"
Mo Lan was taken aback, looking at the child's frail body, but did not refute it.
"That's good. A balance between work and rest is beneficial to physical and mental health."
"Lan'er is right, my body is indeed in a bad state." Hua Fengyu looked down at his body and gave a self-deprecating smile.
Mo Lan remained noncommittal regarding Hua Fengyu's sensitive thoughts.
To take care of Hua Fengyu's health, Mo Lan deliberately slowed her pace, but even so, she could still hear his rapid breathing.
"The scenery here is nice, let's take a break."
Hua Fengyu looked at the girl with a cool expression, and for some reason, he couldn't help but chuckle softly.
"Lan'er is so understanding, I feel a little ashamed."
After several months of getting to know each other, they only exchanged a few words each time they met and never talked much. But for him, this was enough to cover the previous ten years or so.
Thinking about this, Hua Fengyu felt quite helpless. Whenever he thought about it, a scene would always reappear in his mind.
Dressed in a black outfit, with a high ponytail and a cold expression.
As for the past, apart from those brightly colored clothes, he had a somewhat blurry memory of that face.
Looking at the boy who suddenly started laughing, Mo Lan felt strange, but her expression remained cold.
He flicked the pointer in his hand, strolled over to find a flat rock, and leaned back lazily.
While resting, they observed the surrounding terrain.
No wonder Hu Biao was eyeing Qinglong Village. She used to think it was just a strategically advantageous location, with its front and back connected, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack.
In retrospect, this was only one aspect.
Secondly, Qinglong Village is like a lion blocking the entrance to Baihu Cliff.
The people of White Tiger Cliff must pass through the territory of Green Dragon Village to leave the area.
Thinking of this, Mo Lan scanned the terrain between the two sides again, her eyes narrowing.
There is an unwritten rule among the villages: if you pass through the territory of another village, you can pass through without hindrance as long as you plant a flag to show your identity.
Even so, there are inconveniences, especially when transporting private goods, as no one wants to attract envy.
Having your own private road can save you a lot of trouble.
Heh~
White Tiger Cliff's interest in Green Dragon Village stems from its desire to pave a smooth road for itself.
Unfortunately, they were a bit unlucky.
"Is Lan'er going to White Tiger Cliff?"
Hua Fengyu rested for a while, and when he turned his head, he saw the girl's upturned lips and her cold eyes, which looked like she was gloating.
His expression also carried a hint of wickedness, giving the impression that someone was about to suffer misfortune.
Distracted by Hua Fengyu, Mo Lan's upturned lips stiffened for a moment, then vanished.
