An eight-year-old kid emptied his scumbag father's warehouse and followed his grandparents into
Chapter 660: Treat him as air?
There was a stalemate between the two parties, and Xu Zize already regretted sending his seventh brother away.
The last time he went up the mountain, he really didn't know the way carefully, so he wasn't very sure he could reach it quickly. In order to hide Jing Chunxi's supernatural abilities, he always wanted to provide cover, so he sent away all the people who were familiar with the place.
Now it seemed that his approach was wrong. He felt a little regretful and thought that he should have let Brother Qi Er lead them up, and then find a way to get him out. This would have been safer.
"Daliang, come in!" Jing Changjiang suddenly shouted outside the courtyard. His voice was loud and powerful, echoing in the night. Immediately, the sound of galloping footsteps could be heard, and a tall figure appeared at the door.
"General!" Daliang walked in quickly, came to Jing Changjiang, and saluted. He was in his twenties, tall and strong, with a strong build, giving people an air of reliability.
Seeing Xu Zize and Jing Chunxi, he also bowed and said, "Prince, Miss!"
Jing Changjiang nodded, then said, "Go and tell Ling Bo to come at dawn tomorrow to bring the prince and the young lady up the mountain. Tell him to leave someone at the first point on the mountaintop to cut down trees, and come back immediately, as we need him urgently."
The other two people sitting there: This is possible!
"Yes, General!" Daliang turned around and responded. Before he left, Jing Chunxi immediately gave his uncle a thumbs up with an appreciative smile on his face.
"This is the only way." Although Xu Zize said this, he thought this was the best idea. It was also a foolproof plan for Ling Bo to turn back immediately after going up.
As long as he could make it up, he had no worries about coming back. At worst, he could just carefully mark the path as he ascended. He doubted he'd be able to find his way out if he memorized the general direction. He felt a little more at ease, feeling that this arrangement was a good one.
"Then your uncle will be waiting for you at the foot of the mountain. Go and get some rest! You have to get up early tomorrow."
After discussing the matter, Jing Changjiang looked at them with a look of concern on his face. He urged them to be careful and then ordered them to leave.
Everyone is tired today, so we should rest early, get enough rest, and prepare for tomorrow's trip.
Jing Chunxi nodded, then stood up to say goodbye, and Xu Zize also saw him out.
The night outside the courtyard was still quiet, the crescent moon was just beginning to appear, and the breeze was blowing gently. It didn't feel hot at all, but rather a little cool.
……
Before the hour of Mao, the sky was still hazy and gray, with a faint hint of dawn. Looking over, Shibaao was just a large shadow.
Worried that Jing Chunxi had forgotten the time, Xu Zize had already walked to the gate of the courtyard where she lived.
In the dim light, he saw two people, one tall and one short, standing outside the courtyard gate waiting for them.
Xu Zize's voice was cold, without a trace of warmth: "Didn't Daliang explain it to you clearly? Why are you still bringing a child?"
He was angry. Taking his son out to do something was just causing more trouble. He thought he was just going out to have fun.
Xu Zize's expression was irritating, but it didn't make Daniu back down. He held his head high and said stubbornly, "Let me go. My father has bad legs and feet, so I can help you." He looked at Xu Zize with a firm gaze, "Brother Kuan, Uncle Qi Er and I have been up the mountain several times before. I know the way." He didn't want to burden his father, but he really wanted to go up the mountain, so he was very persistent.
Jing Chunxi came out of the yard a step late and saw this scene.
Ling Bo rubbed his rough palms and smiled at Xu Zize, with a hint of flattery in his smile. He said hesitantly, "Last night, Brother Daliang asked me to lead the way, and I didn't dare to refuse. But I have had short legs since I was a child, and I get tired quickly walking on mountain roads."
Glancing at Xu Zize, who looked tense, he explained, "If uncle's legs were better, he would have gone to help out with so much work in the mountains long ago."
He looked at Xu Zize with a helpless face, "We will definitely get there if I lead the way, but I'm afraid if I walk slowly, I'll delay the young master and young lady's business." After hesitating for a long time, he said, "But brother Daliang said that we have to come back immediately after we go there, so it might be... a bit difficult." After saying that, he looked down at his feet with a look of hatred.
Jing Chunxi had forgotten about this. The last time she came here, she had met Ling Bo and thought it was strange that he had three young sons at his age. She also noticed that his gait was indeed deep and shallow.
She looked at Xu Zize, and they were silent. Jing Changjiang had no idea that Ling Bo had a bad leg. He only knew that he was a local and a carpenter, so he thought it would be no problem for him to lead the way.
Daliang had gone to talk about it last night, and Ling Bo hadn't refused to make excuses, so he assumed it was all right. He could have explained it clearly last night, but because he wasn't honest, he wouldn't speak directly, so this kind of mess happened before he left.
"Miss, Master, I really do know the way. If you don't believe me, ask Brother Kuan." Daniu was a little anxious at this point. He really wanted to get up, and he didn't want his father to go through the hardship of climbing the mountain. "If it's just leading the way, I can do it. I'd be a bitch if I lied to you." The little boy was very persistent, holding his anxious father tightly with one hand, fearing that the Master would punish him for this.
"It seems like this is the only way."
Jing Chunxi's gaze shifted to Xu Zize, but he quickly turned back to Da Niu and his son, saying to him, "Call A Kuan." Upon hearing this, Da Niu knew the deal was done. He immediately jumped up and ran happily behind him, his steps brisk, leaving his father disheveled in the wind.
"Xiao Man!" Xu Zize turned around helplessly and called back inside. Qing Feng and Lu Ying had to keep vigil for the 49th day before they could arrive, so Xiao Man, after reporting to Jing Chunxi, had served as his attendant and stayed in his courtyard last night.
"Hey!" Xiaoman's voice responded immediately.
The people outside were waiting. In just a few breaths, Xiaoman rushed to their side. She didn't look like she had just woken up at all. She looked very energetic.
"You didn't take off your clothes when you slept?" Jing Chunxi saw Xiaoman's expression and blurted out the words immediately based on his intuition. He didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
But Xu Zize stared at her and frowned.
Xiao Man was also carefree and told the truth, "Yeah! I didn't take off my pants."
"Cough cough!" Xu Zize coughed twice, and looked at Xiaoman's face which changed: This master and servant completely ignored him!
