Chapter 192: Escape from the World
The two of them walked south for a long time and finally saw the border town of Nanyue. Just as they entered the city, she came up with a plan.
"Haha, Ahuan?"
Hearing the long-lost voice of Ah Huan, Tan Qianhuan instantly felt as if he had regained what he had lost.
When he raised his eyes, Ran Qianxi was staring at him with sweet eyes.
"I want to eat cloud cake, can you buy some for me?"
She suddenly changed her attitude and sent him away. Tan Qianhuan immediately saw through what she was planning.
He knew that she still wanted to escape from him, and although his nose felt a little sour, he still agreed to her request.
"Okay, I'll buy it."
Ran Qianxi smiled sweetly, took his arm and started to act coquettishly.
"Thank you, Huan."
Tan Qianhuan's eyes were still red. He gave her a complicated look and turned away.
Seeing him leave, Ran Qianxi immediately ran onto the carriage!
"Go to Penglai! Quickly!"
In fact, Tan Qianhuan didn't walk far at all, nor did he buy the so-called cloud cake she mentioned. He just turned around and walked a few steps to wait for her to leave.
After the carriage drove away, he turned back dejectedly, but there was no trace of Ran Qianxi.
She was complacent about getting rid of Tan Qianhuan again and again.
Yu'an Marquis Mansion
Several months passed and Ran Qianxi still hadn't returned, and the law code hadn't been copied yet. Xu Yuanchao missed her so much that he became sick. Every day he would open the half-copied Chapter A and read every word carefully to ease his longing for her.
He couldn't help laughing as he carefully touched each strange word. It was obvious that she hadn't thought about copying it down carefully at the beginning.
As I was flipping through the pages, I suddenly came across a painting. In the painting, the sloppy Xu Yuanchao was feeding fish with his hands behind his back.
"Eccentric."
He continued to flip through the pages, and within two pages he came across another portrait of himself. This one was obviously much better than the previous one, as at least one could see the pattern of his clothes.
"It's me again."
Normally he seldom made it to the end, but today he had plenty of time and came across several portraits of himself.
"This painting skill... is as unrefined as the person..."
He was smiling in every painting, and in every one of them you could see that she wanted to paint it well.
Xu Mingxuan walked in neither early nor late, and was instantly startled when he saw the portrait on the table.
"I knew she coveted you!"
Xu Yuanchao suddenly raised his eyes, and Xu Mingxuan didn't dare to speak anymore for a moment.
"Have you finished memorizing the book?"
"I'm done with the memorizing. I'm going to go hunting in the autumn. Give me some silver."
Xu Yuanchao gently put down Ran Qianxi's recording, picked up the inkstone and smashed it over, scaring Xu Mingxuan so much that he jumped several meters away!
"Father, are you going to kill your own son?"
"You are not doing your job properly all day long. All you want is money. Get out!"
Xu Mingxuan stared in anger, but dared not say anything.
"Humph! Get lost if you want! Just watch! Do you think you can put a female demon in the family tree?"
Xu Mingxuan ran out of the main hall. Xu Yuanchao looked at the transcript on the table and made an incredible decision.
Tan Qianhuan knew that she would not return to Yangzhou, and after thinking about it, he guessed that she was in Penglai, but he did not press her.
The White Dew is approaching, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and the sea of Penglai is becoming more exciting and surging.
She sat by the sea, leisurely eating an apple, while Duanmu Yan accompanied her silently, occasionally attracting seabirds to cheer her up.
"Oh, I didn't expect your place to be the quietest."
Duanmu Yan built the wooden house on the coast. It took skilled craftsmen five years of hard work to complete it, and it was completed just in time for the wedding night.
Although the exterior of the wooden house looks no different from an ordinary one, the interior is luxurious and spacious. There are two main rooms, and there is even a small sea in the yard.
"Xixi, can you stay here permanently?"
"We live and travel, but we don't interfere with each other. Don't seduce me every day."
Duanmu Yan smiled gently, released the seabird, and watched it spread its wings and soar into the sky with envy.
"I know, I don't ask for much, I just hope you can accompany me."
Ran Qianxi also smiled and gave her an apple.
"Na~"
"Thank you Xixi."
Ran Qianxi leaned back in the rocking chair and looked at the sky with her, feeling the sea breeze and listening to the waves, feeling unprecedented freedom.
"Why don't you join the army? There have been female generals since the founding of Dachang."
"Standing on the edge of a knife every day, busy trying to survive, losing the original happiness, swearing to defend a city to death, it is better to guard one person for the rest of your life."
Hearing the double-entendre answer, Ran Qianxi was so scared that she sat up straight immediately.
"Who will I guard for the rest of my life?"
Duanmu Yan smiled faintly and touched her head, and she immediately covered her body and dodged.
"Xixi doesn't give me the chance to protect her, so I might as well protect someone else."
Hearing this, Ran Qianxi felt numb all over again and goosebumps instantly covered the ground.
"Gentleman's contract, we have three rules!"
"Xixi, don't be nervous. I won't touch you if you don't want me to."
Ran Qianxi breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back.
"That's fine. There are plenty of fish in the sea."
The weather changed suddenly. The clear sky suddenly became turbid. Wind and rain came. Dark clouds covered the sky. There was no trace of ducks on the sea.
"It's so windy?"
The rocking chair was still rocking, and the fruit table next to it had been blown away by the strong wind. Ran Qianxi hurriedly got up, and Duanmu Yan tidied up the surroundings and let her go back to the wooden house first.
"Run back quickly."
Ran Qianxi squatted down and helped her clean up. As soon as she stood up, she saw a little girl kneeling and crying on the beach not far away, and her mother was lying on the ground dying.
Ran Qianxi ran over regardless of anything, and Duanmu Yan stood up immediately.
"Xi Xi!"
The little girl cried very hard and shook her mother's body helplessly.
"Mother, wake up!"
Ran Qianxi hurriedly checked the woman's breathing, fortunately it was not too late to save the situation.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, your mother just fainted."
Ran Qianxi suddenly raised her eyes, and Xiaoyi's face once again reminded her of her past life.
"Little?"
Xiao Yi sobbed and wiped her tears, not recognizing the older sister in front of her at all.
"I...I don't have a name..."
Ran Qianxi checked her body in ecstasy, and luckily there were only some scratches on the back of her hand.
"Thank God, there were no injuries."
She did not feel unfamiliar when facing the ignorant Xiao Yi. After all, she was her benefactor in her previous life. It seemed that Tan Qianhuan had not had time to lock up her mother.
Duanmu Yan followed and looked at the beauty on the ground as if she had seen a love rival.
"It's a stormy day. Is it appropriate for you two, a single woman and a widow, to be so close to each other?"
Ran Qianxi glanced at her without saying anything, but instead picked up Xiaoyi's mother.
"Help me quickly!"
"You want me to help you carry a woman?"
Ran Qianxi sighed impatiently.
"Hey, you already said she's a woman, a normal woman, hurry up!"
Duanmu Yan squatted down reluctantly, looking at Mou Lan's sexy face, feeling repulsive in her heart.
The three of them left the coast, and Ran Qianxi naturally called out "Xiao Yi". She immediately knew that she had to drag the wooden table away.
Her weak body was busy moving around, struggling to drag away a table that was slightly taller than her.
"So sensible."
Duanmu Yan looked at Mou Lan, who was dying on the bed, and reluctantly began to rescue him.
