Chapter 176 Da Ya’s Thoughts

It was almost before dawn that Xiao Lan stepped out of the space and lay directly next to Zai Zai.

As if feeling the heat around him, Zaizai crawled into her arms.

Seeing Zai Zai's cute little kitten-like posture, she rubbed Zai Zai's little head.

With a gentle kiss on Zai Zai's forehead, Xiao Lan hugged Zai Zai and fell asleep.

When she got up the next day, she took all the supplies she had prepared to the cellar. The cellar was now filled with items.

During the previous snow disaster and banditry, Magistrate Cao distributed all the food she distributed to the victims. After raiding the bandit's lair, he returned the same amount of food to Xiao Lan.

So Xiao Lan's cellar was full. She walked in and directly controlled the prepared materials in the space with one thought, and those materials appeared out of thin air in the open space of the cellar.

I saw that the food I had prepared was what children liked to eat, and most of the snacks they made went into the children's stomachs.

She left the cellar and returned to the yard to wash up.

Then a small figure appeared in the yard.

"Da Ya?"

Xiao Lan saw Da Ya appearing in the yard.

Da Ya timidly walked to Xiao Lan's side and said, "Aunt Xiao, I can't sleep. Get up and wash up."

Xiao Lan smiled and said, "Let's go together."

Pour the water into the washbasin, and the two figures, one large and one small, look surprisingly harmonious.

After washing, Daya looked at Xiao Lan and said, "Aunt Xiao, can I practice martial arts with you?"

"Okay, but Aunt Xiao wants to ask you why you want to practice martial arts. Practicing martial arts is very hard."

"Da Ya won't find it hard. I want to learn martial arts and protect Aunt Xiao, Zai Zai, and Erya."

Da Ya is the most sensible one among the children.

She knew it from the first day they came home.

"What a sensible kid. You need to get up early every day to practice martial arts. You can try it. If you can't persist, Aunt Xiao won't say anything."

Xiao Lan thought about the child's escape route. After all, not everyone likes to practice martial arts.

Zaizai usually practices self-defense at night, and she hasn't taught him anything else yet.

Zaizai's qualifications are pretty good, except that he is a little jerky in fighting due to his young age, but he is already doing very well.

Da Ya told her about martial arts, but she wanted to train a martial arts master.

In their current situation, they don't need powerful people to protect them, but when they return to Kyoto in the future, they may face the bloody storm in Kyoto.

Lijiacun and several other villages just wanted to have enough to eat, and she didn't want to involve them in the weird Kyoto situation in the future.

Then she needed to train some of her own team. Da Ya was the first person she fell in love with, and this was Da Ya's own wish.

Xiao Lan had never thought that one day someone would want to protect him, and Su Lie didn't even say that he wanted to protect himself.

Moreover, this sentence came from the mouth of the little girl in front of me. People who didn't know better might laugh it off, but her expression was serious.

Xiao Lan also took it seriously.

Da Ya's serious look actually made her accept Xiao Lan's gaze with some trepidation.

Finally she saw Aunt Xiao smiling, and she also smiled shyly.

"Da Ya, let me feel your bones to see which kind of martial arts you are suitable for practicing."

"Um."

She stepped forward and moved her small body uncomfortably close to Xiao Lan.

Xiao Lan started to feel her bones. Fortunately, it was not too late for Daya to learn martial arts. Dalin and Erni's bones were not suitable, after all, at their age.

Including some adults or older children in the village, they are unable to continue to advance further in martial arts.

She could only give them self-defense skills to practice. It would be no problem to strengthen their bodies over time.

Take out any young man from Lijia Village, and three or five ordinary people from other villages will not be able to beat him.

However, they are probably limited to this stage.

Xiao Lan is also subconsciously looking for children with higher martial arts qualifications, but now some children have not yet practiced self-defense skills, so this matter cannot be rushed.

"The qualifications are very good. Get up every morning and practice with Aunt Xiao. Start with the simplest self-defense techniques."

"Is it true? Aunt Xiao?"

"Of course it's true. When has Aunt Xiao ever deceived a child?"

"Well, Aunt Xiao has never lied to us. From the first day she came home, Aunt Xiao has been kind to us. Until now, Aunt Xiao is also kind to us. Aunt Xiao is the best person to us. Yu

So does my son."

Da Ya had a shy and sweet smile on her face.

She had never said so many words at once, and they were all words of praise.

When she was with the traffickers in the past, she had always taken care of her younger brothers and sisters in a sensible way.

Even when she didn't have enough to eat, she would share the food with the children who were younger than her.

Otherwise they won't survive!

Xiao Lan led Da Ya to perform a few moves. Da Ya was willing to think and followed suit and performed these moves in a style.

"Not bad!" Xiao Lan never hesitates to praise and encourage children.

"Thank you Aunt Xiao!"

"Come on, continue."

Xiao Lan was in the front, Da Ya was in the back, and the whole family practiced self-defense.

When the rooster at home crows, the two of them stopped.

Zaizai and the other children also got up and washed up one after another.

When they came to Xiao Lan's house, they always used the crow of the big rooster as the wake-up bell. As soon as it crows, they would open their misty eyes, and after a while to collect themselves, they would get dressed and get up.

When he walked out the door, what he saw was Da Ya's figure next to Xiao Lan.

"Sister Da Ya, why did you get up so early today?"

"I'm learning to cook for you from Aunt Xiao."

It's not that she doesn't want to say it, it's because Xiao Lan said that the other children are younger than him and are not suitable for getting up early. It is the time when the body is growing. In addition to keeping up with nutrition, he also needs to get enough sleep.

Xiao Lan was kneading the dough and preparing to roll it out. Daya helped Xiao Lan put out the fire.

Erya and the others wanted to come to help, but Xiao Lan said that they would not need it for the time being, because Da Ya alone would be enough.

Erya and the others turned around to play with Yu'er.

Each person had a large bowl of fragrant noodles with Xiao Lan's bone soup from yesterday on top of the noodles. It was really tempting.

"Wow, it smells so good!"

Everyone has a plate of pickles in front of them. It's so satisfying to eat noodles with pickles.

Zaizai squinted his little eyes and smelled it for a while before starting to eat.

"Mom, it's so delicious, I can eat two big bowls." Zaizai boasted.

"Okay, mother will serve it to you after you finish eating, and so will you. After eating, Aunt Xiao will serve you another bowl." Xiao Lan said to Zaizai and Daya with a smile.

"After eating, Aunt Xiao will make snacks for you, but you also have to help!"

"Really? Need our help?"

"Then we need to eat quickly, we have work to do today." Erya said to Sanya beside him.

"Eat well and be full. If you don't have enough, Aunt Xiao will serve it to you."
