Chapter 10 Going out to find out the news
Ling Xiaoxiao was grooming the horses. After several months of fattening, the horses have changed drastically. Now they are all fat and strong. Among the four horses, Ling Xiaoxiao likes the black one the best. The horse was covered with jet black hair, and there was not a single stray hair on it. I thought this horse was probably a good horse, but it was ruined by those bandits, so Ling Xiaoxiao named the black horse Mo Ying. From now on it will be your own exclusive mount.
Ling Erzhuang chose the maroon horse, which was also tall and had a white eyebrow. Ling Erzhuang named it Baidian, while Ling Sanlang chose the snow-white horse, but the two ears were different. There were two red spots, and Ling Sanlang named them red spots.
The last horse had blue-grey hair, but the younger sister Ling Wuya liked it very much and named her Xiaoqing.
When these two names came out, Ling Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes. Then she remembered that her father and younger brother were illiterate. This also made Ling Xiaoxiao start teaching five words to her family every day, so that they could slowly start to learn to write. In this bandit's village, these bandits must have robbed the big family's house. Not to mention a lot of good things, including a lot of books, pens, ink, paper, and inkstones. This also saved Ling Xiaoxiao a lot of trouble. After these few months, several people also knew a lot of words.
After several months of recuperation, the family's complexion has improved. Zhou Yunniang and Ling Wuya still drink some spiritual spring water provided by Ling Xiaoxiao every night, so the changes between them are obvious. Because Zhou Yunniang had given birth to several children before, she was unable to sit properly during the confinement period. After this period of transformation with the spiritual spring water, those ailments had completely disappeared. This made Zhou Yunniang very puzzled. Later, she thought, maybe it was during this period that She didn't get angry, and she had enough food, warm clothes, and a good mood, so she was in good health. Zhou Yunniang didn't have much knowledge about this, so she didn't think much about it.
The three siblings, Ling Xiaoxiao, had the biggest physical changes, mainly due to the effect of Ling Xiaoxiao's spiritual spring water. Ling Xiaoxiao discovered that since she came in, the height of the original owner has increased from a little over 1.4 meters to a little over 1.6 meters now. , has grown more than 20 centimeters in just a few months, which makes Ling Xiaoxiao really incredible. But even more incredible than Ling Xiaoxiao is his younger brother Ling Sanlang. Before she came here, his younger brother Ling Sanlang was taller than the original owner. There are many differences. Ling Sanlang is now taller than Ling Xiaoxiao. According to visual inspection, he should be nearly 1.7 meters tall.
But Ling Xiaoxiao also knew that this should be related to Ling Sanlang practicing martial arts with her. During this period, because there were many weapons in the bandit's village, and Ling Xiaoxiao was good at swords, guns, swords and halberds, she saw Ling Sanlang I am very interested in martial arts, so I plan to teach him everything, maybe it is the effect of the spiritual spring water! Ling Sanlang has a very good understanding of martial arts. He has learned every kind of martial arts, and the rest is to be used skillfully.
Ling Erzhuang also learned some, but it seemed that his understanding was not good enough and he didn't learn very well. However, Ling Xiaoxiao didn't think about how well he could learn, so she didn't ask Ling Erzhuang like she asked Ling Sanlang.
The little girl Ling Wuya was still hot for a few minutes at first, but she couldn't get up after three days. Ling Xiaoxiao didn't force it. Girls in this era are in the boudoir, and it doesn't matter whether they study or not.
After packing her bags, Ling Xiaoxiao was about to go out when she was pulled by Ling Sanlang, "Sister, I want to go too."
Ling Xiaoxiao frowned, "No, apart from my sister who knows martial arts, you are the only one left at home. We have both gone out. What will happen to my parents and sister if a bad guy comes?"
Ling Sanlang suddenly stopped talking. He really wanted to go out with his sister, but her sister was right. If bad guys really came, his father's little effort would not be able to stop those people. Thinking of this, he could only feel resentful. He took a few steps back and got out of the way.
Ling Xiaoxiao didn't want to discourage him.
"Well, it's not long before the New Year. You don't want to go this time. I'll go and have a look. If the Beirong people are kicked out, I will come back and take you, your parents, and your sister to celebrate the New Year. How about I let you have enough fun then?"
After hearing his sister's words, Ling Sanlang smiled and nodded.
"Well, sister, go ahead. I will definitely protect my parents and sister at home."
After comforting Ling Sanlang, Ling Xiaoxiao waved to her parents and sister at the door, then rode Mo Ying towards the outside of the mountain.
More than an hour later, Ling Xiaoxiao walked out of the mountains. Because of the snow and slippery roads, the horses were walking carefully. After leaving the mountains and forests, Ling Xiaoxiao walked towards the county town. This direction was where they were originally. Ling Xiaoxiao thought about the direction in which the people of Lingjia Village were walking. It had been a few months and she didn't know where the people of Lingjia Village were at this time. Also, there was no way for her father to attract enemy soldiers in this life, so what happened to the Ling family? How to avoid the massacre by those Beirong soldiers.
I rode a horse for an hour, and it was very peaceful along the way. The occasional passers-by also walked forward in a hurry. Because of the cold, no one was wandering on the road. I saw a county town in the distance. According to From memory, Ling Xiaoxiao knew that it was a small county called Ningyuan, where the original owner was sold to a human trafficker by his uncle in his previous life.
In a small forest less than 500 meters away from the county seat, Ling Xiaoxiao dismounted her horse, tied it to a tree, opened the package she had brought with her when she came out of the village, and took out some makeup items. First, She gave herself a make-up that wasn't too ugly, but it just didn't look good. At least it wouldn't let those who were familiar with her know that she was the original Ling Erya.
Untying Mo Ying's reins: Mo Ying, I'm going into the city now. Just hang around here. Remember, don't be led away by others. Remember to avoid people and wait for me to come back!
Watching Mo Ying's figure disappear into the depths of the woods, Ling Xiaoxiao walked out of the woods and headed towards the city gate. When she arrived at the city gate, she took out her household sticker and gave it to the soldiers guarding the city gate, and then was released. Okay, Ling Xiaoxiao didn't expect it to go so smoothly.
After entering the city, I first looked around and found that there were many refugees here. I think these people have been here begging for food in the past few months, but now it is the twelfth month of winter, and these people are leaning against the corners. The family huddled together to keep each other warm. There was a porridge shed not far away, but it seemed that not many people were queuing up to receive the porridge there.
Ling Xiaoxiao didn't expect that when she took a casual look, she saw an acquaintance, Mrs. Qu. This old witch was not dead yet. It seemed that they had escaped the group of Bei Rong soldiers, but they didn't know how many people died.
