It's like they were destined to be together but not to stay together... Otherwise, why would they have missed each other in two lifetimes?
Composing himself, Xiao Yu forcibly suppressed the bitterness welling up in his heart and said solemnly, "I know I can't dissuade you, but please promise me that if you insist on going into the mountains to collect herbs, remember to call me. The more people there are, the safer you'll be, okay?"
"With your build, you could be blown away by a gust of wind..."
Before Song Lan could finish speaking, Xiao Yu interrupted, "I've been learning martial arts since I was little. My grandfather arranged for someone to teach me. Later, during every winter and summer vacation, my grandfather would put me in the team to train. Don't worry, I promise I won't hold you back!"
Without a doubt, the grandfather Xiao Yu mentioned was Old Master Xiao. To be more specific, it was the original owner of this body who had been learning military boxing since childhood. Once he officially started school, during winter and summer vacations...
He would be thrown into the army by his family to train with the new recruits. However, although Xiao Yu had trained a lot, he only knew some martial arts. His skills were no match for those of his peers in the compound, such as Chen Dongsheng and Zhao Yunzhen.
One reason is that my physical condition isn't very good.
On the other hand, there were Chen Dongsheng, Zhao Yunzhen, and other peers from the compound. Apart from being sent into the team for training by their families during winter and summer vacations when they were in school, they later became members of the team directly.
Daily training is a required course, unlike the original owner Xiao Yu, who graduated from university and stayed on to teach, following the path of a cultured person.
"Okay, okay, I got it. I'll definitely take you with me whenever I go into the mountains to collect herbs."
Since arriving in this world, Song Lan has ventured into the mountains quite a few times. To be honest, she hasn't encountered any particularly ferocious beasts. She believes that with her skills, even if she were to encounter man-eating beasts like tigers, wolves, or wild boars while gathering herbs, she could ensure her own and Xiao Yu's safety.
Even if her fighting skills are lacking, she still has her homemade medicinal powders to use.
In short, there is absolutely no way she could become prey for wild beasts!
Moreover, her spatial dimension is not just for show; the bows and arrows and other weapons within it are not merely for decoration. Let alone dealing with one or two or even a few large creatures, taking them down would be a piece of cake!
Xiao Yu said earnestly and seriously, "Then it's a deal, you can't go back on your word!"
Song Lan smiled knowingly: "Does Prime Minister Xiao think I'm someone who doesn't keep his word?"
Xiao Yu shook his head: "I was worried you'd forget."
Xiao Yu deliberately emphasized the word "forgot".
Song Lan shook her head with amusement: "I can't forget, I have a very good memory!"
She has a photographic memory, an ability known to everyone in her family except outsiders. However, this Prime Minister Xiao in front of her is undoubtedly unaware of it, which is why he emphasized it to her in this way.
Xiao Yu felt uncomfortable being laughed at by Song Lan. He twitched his lips and said, "I'll see you off."
"Need not."
Song Lan shook her head.
The baby Xiao Chen, held in Xiao Yu's arms, would look at his father and then at Song Lan, his beautiful aunt, his big eyes filled with confusion. He clearly didn't understand what the two adults were saying, but that didn't stop him from smiling.
Yes, the child listened to his father and Song Lan talking back and forth, his slightly chubby face always adorned with an adorable smile.
"To Auntie!"
"Auntie, you don't need Chenchen to take you. Auntie will come to visit you another day and buy you delicious and fun things!"
As she spoke, Song Lan suddenly remembered something. She glanced at Xiao Yu and the child and said, "I forgot to bring you cotton-padded coats. I'll definitely bring them when I come next Sunday."
There were bundles of cotton in the space, all already fluffed, and also a good amount of cotton cloth. She could spend more money at the tailor shop another day and make quite a few sets in a week.
She can do it herself whenever she has free time.
Thinking it over honestly, Song Lan felt a little relieved, but then she heard Xiao Yu say, "You don't need to bother, we have cotton-padded clothes to wear."
"Did someone give them to you? And they're just some tattered, not very warm cotton-padded clothes, right?"
Song Lan's smile faded: "I told you not to be polite with me, why do you always forget? I don't believe you brought clothes for all four seasons when you came here."
She sighed inwardly, took two steps forward, then turned back and said, "Don't bother seeing me off. It's windy outside. You should take Chenchen back inside. I'll be home soon."
After speaking, Song Lan withdrew her gaze and walked away a short distance away.
Noticing that no one was around, she put her basket and empty travel bag into her spatial storage, but she found herself with a half-sized wicker basket in her hand. Inside the basket were a tied-up pheasant and a rabbit, covered with a thick layer of pig feed to prevent anyone from making sarcastic remarks.
"Dad, Mom, I'm home!"
As Song Lan entered the courtyard, she saw Song Sanhe and Li Jumei heading towards the kitchen. She called out to them, and upon hearing her voice, Li Jumei turned around and quickly said:
"I thought you should be home by now, so I made the meal half an hour ago. Go wash your hands and rest in the main room. Mom will bring the food over to you."
Song Lan smiled broadly: "Thank you, Mom!"
"Why are you thanking your own mother?! Hurry up, the food needs to be eaten as soon as it's cooked in this weather, otherwise it'll get cold very quickly!"
Li Jumei urged her on, and before Song Lan could respond, she had already gone into the kitchen.
"sister!"
Song Guoqing walked out of the main room, looking rather unhappy, and said, "Why didn't you ask me to go with you to the forest farm?"
"You weren't home. Mom said you went to exercise at the foot of the mountain."
Song Lan responded with a smile.
"Then you didn't call him 'Big Brother' either."
Song Guoqing said, "You're a girl, it's too dangerous for you to go to the forest farm alone. You're not allowed to do that again!"
