"Ha. Ridiculous! I can be grateful to anyone, but only you Chen family, I have no gratitude at all. All I have is disgust!" Huang Ling sneered, his eyes full of disdain and disgust.
Huang Ling's words made several members of the Chen family extremely angry. Chen Dan shouted: "You Huang Ling, if you dare to insult our Chen family, you will die without a burial tonight."
After saying that, he held a long stick and rushed forward. Huang Ling sneered, quickly picked up the wooden bow on his shoulder, pulled out the bowstring, and shot out an arrow without any scruples. Whoosh. All of a sudden, Chen Dan who rushed up -
——The band that bound the hair on the top of his head shot off, and his long hair fell down, shaking like a madman.
This arrow stunned everyone else, looking at Huang Ling in disbelief.
"Huang Ling! You are so brave! How dare you shoot arrows at people! I will tell the village chief! I will make you walk around without food!" Chen Hao threatened when he saw this.
"Hmph. So what? He was going to rush up and hurt me. I used arrows to protect myself. It was only out of necessity." Huang Ling said without fear.
"You...!" Chen Hao gritted his teeth and blushed.
Huang Ling smiled coldly, looked at the stunned Chen Dan, and said contemptuously: "I will not shoot the headband again with my next arrow."
As soon as these words came out, Chen Dan was so shocked that he came back to his senses, couldn't help but stumble backwards, and almost fell down.
"Okay..., very good! Huang Ling, let's wait and see, sooner or later I will avenge the shame of this arrow. Let's go!" After Chen Dan finished speaking, he turned around and left angrily, and his hair was shaking from side to side.
Looking from behind, he really looked like a lunatic. But Chen Shi and Chen Feng just glared at Huang Ling fiercely and left.
"Do you also want to try an arrow?" Huang Ling said coldly, looking at Chen Hao who hadn't left yet.
"Hmph. Huang Ling, just be proud of yourself, you will regret it one day."
Chen Hao said in a sinister voice. He snorted coldly and left proudly. Looking at Chen Hao walking away, Huang Ling's eyes changed slightly, but he didn't think much about it and just ignored it.
Seeing that the children of the Chen family had left, Huang Ling was about to go back, but then someone suddenly shouted.
"Brother Ling."
Huang Ling was startled and looked back. Unexpectedly, Fang Laner came behind him unexpectedly!
"Lan'er? Why are you here?!" Huang Ling was very surprised.
"I……."
Fang Laner walked up to Huang Ling with a slightly solemn expression, stretched out her hand, and what she meant was a few pieces of candy. Today, people from outside the mountain came to their village to sell some items; the people in the village called those people "sellers"
". Before the Chinese New Year or at ordinary times, the "sellers" would bring some things from outside the mountains and come to their small mountain village to make some money and exchange for something; today happened to be the time, and Fang Laner also used her own things in exchange for this.
Order some sweets, but she has been reluctant to eat more.
When Huang Ling saw it, he was naturally happy. This girl whom he regarded as his sister actually cared about him so much, which made him feel very warm in his heart.
"This is...?" Huang Ling asked.
"Today, a seller came to our village, and I brought something in exchange for it. Brother Ling, this candy is so sweet!" As he said this, he stuffed it into Huang Ling's hand and looked at Huang Ling intently.
Huang Ling smiled and did not refuse. After all, this was his true intention.
"Brother Ling, are those people looking for trouble for you?!" Fang Laner asked worriedly.
Huang Ling reached out to touch her head and replied with a smile: "I'm not afraid of them no matter how troublesome they are!"
"Oh... Brother Ling, you... were really scary just now!" Fang Laner said timidly.
Huang Ling naturally knew what Fang Laner meant, and couldn't help but feel a little helpless. "I'm just scaring them, I won't really hurt them with arrows."
"Really……?!"
"real!"
When Fang Laner heard this, she smiled slightly and seemed to be relaxed from what happened just now. Huang Ling felt relieved when she saw Fang Laner smile. The scene just now must have scared her, that's why she acted like that before
A solemn look.
Huang Ling looked at the pieces of candy in his hand, opened the wrapping paper with a smile, and put it in his mouth.
"Is it sweet?!" Fang Laner asked with her eyes wide open.
"Yeah. It's very sweet." Huang Ling nodded. He opened another candy and put it in front of Fang Lan'er's mouth. Fang Lan'er was overjoyed and held it in her mouth without any worries. She kept laughing and looked very happy.
.
"You came to me just to give me candy?" Huang Ling said with a smile.
"Yeah. It was originally reserved for you, Brother Ling, but I forgot about it for a moment, so I sneaked out."
"Oh, you girl, aren't you afraid that your mother will worry about you?"
"There's nothing to worry about. I'm not a three-year-old."
"Okay, let me take Lan'er back! Your mother will definitely scold you if it's too late." Huang Ling said helplessly, but there was a hint of love in his eyes.
Fang Lan'er waved her hand and said, "No, no, I can go back by myself. Mother won't scold me, she can only blame me a few times. Then I'll go, brother Ling."
After saying that, he turned around with a smile and ran back the way he had come, looking back at Huang Ling behind him from time to time. Huang Ling stood there, watching Fang Laner leave with a smile on his face.
At this time at Fang's house, Zhou Lan had just finished washing up and went to Fang Laner's room to ask her daughter to wash up, but unexpectedly found that there was no one in the room; she walked out of the house strangely and came to the courtyard, wanting to ask Fang Dayong in the courtyard.
At this time, Fang Dayong was sorting out materials and seemed very busy, so Zhou Lan hesitated and did not come forward to ask. Instead, he turned around and walked to the kitchen to ask about Tuesday, who was still drinking. But Tuesday seemed to be drunk.
Sitting on the chair and rocking back and forth, he only replied that the little girl might have gone outside to play.
Seeing that Tuesday was getting drunk, Zhou Lan had no choice but to forcefully collect Tuesday's wine and help him back to the room amidst Tuesday's protests.
Zhou Lan just lay on the bed, tossing and turning reluctantly on the bed, chattering non-stop, and then gradually quieted down and began to fall asleep. Zhou Lan covered Zhou Lan with the quilt and walked out of the house. As soon as she took a step out, she saw
Fang Laner came back happily from outside.
Zhou Lan immediately breathed a sigh of relief, faced Fang Lan'er and asked, "Why are you running out so late? Don't you know that your family will be worried?"
Seeing her mother coming to blame her unhappily, Fang Laner's expression changed slightly, but she still said naturally: "I, I didn't run around, I just found the moon to be beautiful tonight, so I went to the open space outside to enjoy the moon.
If you go, it’s not far around."
Zhou Lan frowned, looked at the night sky, and found that tonight was a full moon, and the moonlight was very dazzling. It was cloudless and the stars were shining, but it was really a good night scene. But looking up from here, it was slightly obscured by the big trees in the courtyard.
.
"Is it really just nearby?"
"Yeah, otherwise where else would I go?"
Fang Lan'er's answer made Zhou Lan sigh helplessly. She didn't believe this ghost girl's words so easily, but the most important thing was to come back safely.
"That's all, let's just pretend that you're just admiring the moonlight, but you can't run out like this without saying a word in the future. Do you understand?"
"Oh, I, got it."
"Mom has heated the hot water for you. Go and wash up, otherwise you will get cold." Zhou Lan said.
"Hey, I'll go right away."
Knowing that she had gotten through the test, Fang Laner was very happy, so she skipped towards the bathroom. Zhou Lan looked at her daughter's back, shook her head, and followed.
At this time, no one noticed that in a dark corner outside the Fang Family Courtyard, a figure had been watching Zhou Lan and her daughter. This person was Huang Ling. Because he was a little worried, he followed him all the way back. Now he saw
Fang Laner has returned home and is relieved.
After a few more glances, he turned around and left, gradually disappearing into the hazy moonlight.
