Li Youran was surprised that Qin Laosan, a simple country bumpkin, could actually read. Similarly, Qin Laosan was surprised that Li Youran, such a beautiful girl, had such terrible handwriting…
Through her conversation with Qin Laosan, Li Youran learned that this was a small village at the foot of a mountain near the capital.
Although the location is quite remote, it's not far from the capital. If someone were to investigate, they would likely find their way here in no time. Li Youran felt a slight worry about her safety.
"Don't worry, I will definitely get you home safely."
Seeing the troubled look on Li Youran's face, Qin Laosan mistakenly thought that Li Youran was in a hurry to go home.
"A gentleman's word is as good as his bond, and I, having fought on the battlefield, would never break my promise."
Perhaps fearing that Li Youran wouldn't believe him, Qin Laosan added something else.
Sure enough, Li Youran's eyes lit up when he heard Qin Laosan say that he had fought on the battlefield.
"Actually, I shouldn't have come back now. I should have stayed in this mountain village and hunted, but some internal strife broke out, and my leader was assassinated..."
In order to convince Li Youran that he was not lying, Qin Laosan originally planned to talk about business matters, but he couldn't help but recall sad memories and stopped talking.
Li Youran was listening with great interest, but Qin Laosan suddenly stopped talking, turned around and left, leaving Li Youran completely confused.
Since she was already there, she might as well make the best of it. Although she still felt uneasy, she was injured and there was nothing she could do but comfort herself that this man was kind-hearted.
Even if we assume the worst, she still has the ring Tang Lei gave her; if something truly dangerous happens, she can use the ring to save her life.
"I never expected that the third son, that blockhead, could chat with that girl for so long. Mother, don't worry about me, maybe the third son really can win her over and make her your daughter-in-law!"
Hearing her eldest daughter-in-law's words, Old Lady Qin's eyes and brows were full of smiles.
"Eldest son, go and catch that old hen."
When the eldest daughter-in-law heard what Old Lady Qin said, she was taken aback and thought to herself that it seemed her mother-in-law was going to go all out this time.
But then he thought about it again. Qin Laosan still didn't have a wife. If killing an old hen could help him find one, it would be worth it. So he readily agreed and got up to kill the old hen.
"Father, Mother, the shop has been sold, and we've packed up almost everything. Let's set off first thing tomorrow morning!"
The Li family's pancake shop was doing very well, and it was very easy to sublet it. The sign was only up for two days before it was transferred to a high-priced shop.
"Brother, I haven't received any letters from my sister these past few days. Could something have happened in the capital?"
Zhao Lanzhi and Li Youran usually corresponded frequently. After three consecutive days without a reply from Li Youran, Zhao Lanzhi felt slightly uneasy.
"It's also possible that he's been busy with things at the shop these past few days and hasn't replied."
"We're leaving for the capital tomorrow anyway, so we'll see when the time comes."
As soon as Li Haoran finished speaking, Zhou Yingying interrupted.
Despite both being sisters-in-law, Li Youran had a good relationship with Zhao Lanzhi, which made Zhou Yingying feel very uncomfortable.
A venomous snake has no idea it's poisonous. Zhou Yingying has done so many things to wrong Li Youran, yet she's here accusing Li Youran of being too biased. If she said it out loud, she'd probably be laughed out of the room.
Li Youran was already asleep when Qin's wife forcibly pulled her up and fed her a bowl of fragrant chicken soup.
When I was fast asleep in the middle of the night, I was overcome by the urge to urinate and had no choice but to get up to go to the toilet.
Under the bright moonlight and with a gentle breeze, Li Youran stood in the courtyard and suddenly felt that staying in this deep mountain place was quite nice.
Just then, a dark shadow flashed by, and Li Youran screamed in fright.
Qin Laosan reacted extremely quickly. Before Li Youran could finish speaking, he rushed out of the room and headed straight for the man in black.
Strangely enough, after being discovered, the man in black not only did not leave, but instead sped up and approached the courtyard.
Qin Laosan took two quick steps, then climbed over the wall, leaped out of the courtyard, and stepped onto a poplar tree next to him. Holding a large knife, he slashed straight at the man in black.
If the occasion weren't so inappropriate, Li Youran would have loved to applaud.
The man in black was also quite skilled, cleverly dodging Qin Laosan's ruthless broadsword.
But when their eyes met, she froze slightly. A beat too slow, and Qin Laosan's knife tip slashed open her veil.
The bright moonlight fell on that exquisite and flawless face, and Li Youran's heart started racing. She hadn't expected that the man in black was actually Tang Lei.
"Spare his life!"
Li Youran hurriedly shouted loudly.
Qin Laosan frowned slightly. He reacted very quickly, hurriedly sheathing his broadsword and making another detour, stepping on the wall to land back in the courtyard.
"Vice General Tang!"
Tang Lei followed closely behind Qin Laosan, landing three steps away from him.
Qin Laosan turned to look at Tang Lei, then hurriedly knelt on one knee and clasped his hands in a fist salute.
"Your subordinate Qin San greets Vice General Tang!"
Qin Shansan never expected to see Tang Lei, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, here.
"Qin San, get up quickly."
Tang Lei held the sword behind his back with one hand, and hurriedly helped Tang Shan up with the other.
"I've been looking for you for ages, I never expected to run into you here."
After General Zhihua was murdered, the brothers were dismissed. Tang Lei searched for a long time but could not contact Qin San.
Now it was Li Youran's turn to be dumbfounded. According to the plot, shouldn't Tang Lei walk towards her and check if she was injured with concern?
