As soon as he entered the tent, he took off the iron lumps on his body.
"Hiss, this is too heavy. Aren't you tired walking around in this all day long?"
Duan Qianyu shook his head and put the armor away.
"I'm used to it. The border is not safe recently. I'll find a chance to send you back."
Lin Wanwan glared at him and said unhappily, "Then I can't let you send me off either. What's the point of you sending me off? You'll be punished! If you want to send me off, you should let Lan Wu send me off personally! Let him know how it is easier to invite a god than to send him off!"
"puff!"
Duan Qianyu couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Hahahaha, you!"
Seeing him smiling happily, Lin Wanwan couldn't help but be stunned. It was the first time she saw him smiling so happily. Well, he looked even more handsome!
When her soul was about to be hooked away, Duan Qianyu said solemnly: "I am worried about you being with Lan Wu. He and his master are uncontrollable and may not do anything. Hu Xie Wang's condition has worsened in recent years and he has been looking for medicine everywhere. If Lan Wu can really refine the magic medicine, then you are in danger."
Lin Wanwan also had a headache. Why did everyone want to take shortcuts? Wouldn’t it be simpler to just eat well, sleep well, and maintain a good mood?
"Okay, okay, don't think about these things. Go to bed early. Really, thinking about this gives me a headache."
Lin Wanwan took off her shoes and coat, crawled into bed, closed her eyes and went to sleep.
Soon, the candle was extinguished, and the rustling sound of clothes came from the opposite side.
After a long while, Lin Wanwan couldn't fall asleep, so she turned over and faced Duan Qianyu.
"Mr. Duan, did you send all the money you earned from running the underground gambling house back to Mobei?"
A muffled “hmm” came from the other side.
"Why? Why did you choose to return to Mobei?"
"I was abandoned since I was a child. It's the same no matter where I am."
"Is the Duan family not good to you?"
"At that time, there were constant wars. Because of my different appearance, I suffered from hunger and was bullied by ordinary people every day. Later, the head of the Duan family bought me and trained me to do some dirty work behind the scenes. Lin Wan, do you really think that gambling houses are clean? The blood on their hands is no less than that on the battlefield."
Lin Wanwan felt distressed and didn't know how to comfort him. A child from Mobei was stranded in Dayuan during a war, and he must have suffered a lot and even nearly lost his life, but he just brushed it off with a few words.
"Well, I shouldn't have mentioned your sad story. To apologize, let me tell you a joke!"
"An old man went to see a doctor. The doctor prescribed him a medicine and said to him: The medicine will be effective for six hours. The old man nodded and walked away with a smile. He was still laughing as he walked, and he kept laughing when he got home. His family members were curious and asked: What's wrong with you? The old man said: What kind of medicine did the doctor prescribe? I have to laugh for six hours. I am almost dying of laughter! Hahahaha!"
She glanced across and saw no movement, so she continued, "Well, isn't that funny? Let me tell you another story. Once upon a time, a turtle was sick and asked a snail to buy medicine. Two hours passed and the snail still hadn't come back. The turtle said angrily, "If you don't come back, I'm going to die." At this time, the snail's voice came from outside the door, "If you say that again, I won't go." Hahaha! How funny is it?"
A muffled laugh came from the other end, "Let Snail go buy medicine, hehe..."
She curled her lips and continued, "I can't sleep anyway, so I'll tell you a few more stories. Once upon a time..."
Lin Wanwan didn't know when she fell asleep, and when she woke up, it was already bright.
She crawled out of bed, put on her clothes quickly before the cold air took effect, then rolled up the bedding and put it aside.
Just after cleaning up, Duan Qianyu walked in with food.
"You're awake, come over for breakfast. It's a bit cold outside, so just eat inside."
Lin Wanwan took the bowl and looked at the vegetable porridge with dots of oil floating on it. This should be the meal they usually eat. Sure enough, it was made specially for her last night.
"Just eat what you have. I have sent someone back to the city to get some food. We will add two more dishes for lunch."
Lin Wanwan took a big sip of porridge, pointed at a large piece of meat, and said to him, "Don't bother. I'm not picky about food. Just give me one portion as usual. If you treat me with good food and wine, I'll be angry!"
Duan Qianyu nodded and said no.
Only then did Lin Wanwan smile at him and continued to drink porridge from the bowl.
After dinner, he still had a lot of things to deal with, so he sent a little soldier to take her around to relieve her boredom.
When they reached the stables, she couldn't help but ask, "Can you teach me how to ride a horse?"
Wu Er gestured awkwardly and said, "Lin, girl, you can't ride this horse. You can't ride a war horse!"
"All right."
Lin Wanwan looked at the horse inside with disappointment. If only she knew how to ride a horse, she could just ride the horse and escape if something happened.
At noon, Duan Qianyu came back from work and asked her when he saw her, "I heard from Wuer that you wanted to learn how to ride a horse?"
Lin Wanwan nodded quickly.
"Ma Lie from the grassland, I'll get you a pony later." Then he smiled and said, "You can't come to the grassland without riding a horse. I have nothing to do this afternoon, so I'll take you to the grassland?"
"Okay!" Lin Wanwan's eyes suddenly lit up. She had been looking forward to this for a long time!
"Okay then. I'll ask someone to change your clothes. You wait here and I'll take you there once everything is arranged."
Lin Wanwan waited in the house, her heart had already flown to the grassland, she just hoped that Duan Qianyu would finish his work quickly.
After a while, Duan Qianyu called her outside. When she went out, she saw a chestnut horse beside him. It was tall and brave, with shiny fur. It was obviously a good horse.
Lin Wanwan walked over, touched its head, and asked, "Is this your horse?"
