Chapter 7: Tell the truth frankly
When he came to the backyard, he found that his mother and little sister had been taken into the house. Ling Xiaoxiao did not waste any time and directly broke the necks of the two bandits guarding the door. There was no way, Ling Xiaoxiao was still there. Without a handy weapon, he had no choice but to twist his neck with his bare hands.
After dealing with the two guards, they moved their bodies to an empty room and then entered the house again. There was no sound coming from the house. Ling Xiaoxiao was a little confused. It was her mother and sister who entered here. No, There should be no sound unless she was drugged. Thinking of this, Ling Xiaoxiao couldn't help but become a little anxious. She quickly dodged into the room and saw a dark, rough man smiling at Zhou Yunniang who was unconscious on the kang.
A chill flashed through Ling Xiaoxiao's eyes. She quickly stepped forward and grabbed the man's neck with force. There was a crisp click, and the man fell to the ground without saying a word. He couldn't die anymore.
Ling Xiaoxiao stepped forward to look at Zhou Yunniang and found that she had just passed out and was not seriously injured. She felt relieved and went to the next room again. She found the little sister Ling Wuya who was also unconscious and picked her up and sent her to her mother. Next to Zhou Yunniang, she looked at the room and began to search it. Not long after, Ling Xiaoxiao found a large bag of gold and silver jewelry in the kang cabinet nearby. She directly put it into the space. With all this money , if you find a place to stay in the future, you don’t have to worry.
Next, while ensuring the safety of his family, Ling Xiaoxiao went through the entire bandit den and collected more than a dozen boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, not including some antiques, calligraphy, paintings, jade carvings and the like.
They also found a lot of grains in a cellar, both coarse and fine grains, and Ling Xiaoxiao was given space to collect them all. Ling Xiaoxiao was very satisfied. Although this space was inaccessible, it was a good place to store things.
There were only a dozen bandits in this village, and Ling Xiaoxiao dealt with them all last night. After she killed these bandits, she took them into the space, then went to the back mountain and threw them in the mountain. You can feed the wolves.
The only dissatisfaction of Ling Xiaoxiao's space is that living people cannot enter, only dead objects, such as dead people. Anyway, as long as they can breathe, they cannot enter.
At dawn the next day, Ling Erzhuang and Ling Sanlang, father and son, came out of the room with confused faces. When they saw Ling Xiaoxiao who was practicing sword skills in the courtyard, they were even more surprised and could not close their mouths.
Ling Xiaoxiao finished performing a set of sword skills before stopping and taking a look at the father and son.
"Dad, little brother, you go and wash up first. After washing up, I have something to say."
Ling Erzhuang and Ling Sanlang looked at each other, said nothing, and went to wash up. Ling Xiaoxiao returned to the house where they were temporarily staying. Zhou Yunniang and Ling Wuya had already packed up and were sitting there waiting for Ling Erzhuang and his son. both.
"Sister, you are back!"
As soon as Ling Wuya saw Ling Xiaoxiao coming in, she quickly ran to her side and held her hand.
Ling Xiaoxiao knew that the little girl was frightened by what happened yesterday. Fortunately, the girl was still unconscious when the matter of last night was dealt with.
"Well, my sister is practicing martial arts in the yard and hasn't gone far, don't worry!"
Hearing Ling Xiaoxiao say this, Ling Wuya smiled shyly, pursed her lips and said nothing more. Instead, Zhou Yunniang looked at Ling Xiaoxiao.
"Erya, you...?"
Ling Xiaoxiao knew that what happened yesterday had aroused their suspicion, so she said, "Mom, let's not talk about it for now. Let's talk about it after my father and brother come over!"
Within a quarter of an hour, Ling Erzhuang and Ling Sanlang, their father and son, walked in. Ling Xiaoxiao saw that everyone was here before he put down the sword in his hand.
"Mom and Dad, you must be wondering what happened to me in the past two days? In fact, it's nothing. I just had a dream the night before yesterday, an extremely real dream. The things in this dream are still fresh in my memory. I I’m sure it’s all real, and what I’m going to say next is what I experienced in my dream.”
"In that dream, we did not separate from our grandparents, but walked with them. In three days, the Beirong soldiers from the north would catch up with us. For the safety of the whole family that day, dad listened to grandpa's words and I went to lure away the enemy soldiers, but this trip was the beginning of our family’s tragedy. My father never came back. I don’t know whether he was killed by the Beirong soldiers or separated. Anyway, in that life in my dream, he never came back. I haven't seen my father either.
After my father disappeared, there were more and more refugees. Because my father was gone, my grandparents and uncles bullied us, who were orphans and widowed. My mother was sold to a traveling trader by our grandparents and uncles, and she was never seen again. I don’t know where I went. My younger brother Saburo was trampled to death in a conflict with the refugees. My younger sister and I were sold to traffickers and brothels by my uncle. I had better luck and was sold as a slave to a wealthy family in the capital. Although lowly, she survived at least. The younger sister was sold to a brothel and died in the brothel a few years later. "
After Ling Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she looked at Ling Erzhuang and Zhou Yunniang. Those two were still children. It was easy to say that these two people must have other questions to ask themselves. As expected, after the two couples digested the matter, they asked road.
"So Erya, how did you get your current Kung Fu? Don't tell Mom that you learned it all of a sudden. No matter how ignorant Mom is, she knows that martial arts can't be learned overnight."
Ling Xiaoxiao had actually thought about this issue yesterday, and said, "Mom, in fact, in that life in my dream, I had already learned martial arts. This life is just practicing the martial arts I learned before."
"You are saying that you learned martial arts in the life in your dream, but wasn't that family a high official? How could they allow you, a maid, to learn martial arts?"
Regarding Ling Erzhuang's question, Ling Xiaoxiao said, "Dad, it's true that I am a slave, but I am taking care of the young master. The safety of the young master also needs the protection of us maids. We also need to learn martial arts. What can we do if we don't learn it?" He can’t even reach his master.”
Hearing Ling Xiaoxiao's explanation, Ling Erzhuang chose to believe it, "Does this mean that when you woke up yesterday morning, you were sure that the dream was real?"
Ling Xiaoxiao couldn't say too sure at this time. She thought for a while, "Dad, as for what happened in the dream, it should be true. Look, since I wake up, I can still use the martial arts I learned in the dream. Doesn’t this mean that all dreams are real? Anyway, the Beirong people will arrive in three days, so let’s just stay in this village for a few days and verify it on the fourth day.”
