Sisters in the Deep Forest Valley: Many Fun Things

"Let's go, go back."

The two returned to the Cloud Inn, knocked on the door, called out, and the door opened.

Three people stood in a neat row.

Lin Chunyi couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Why are you all standing at the door, so serious? Just sit down."

Lin Lanshan closed the door. "You're making us look like some wicked young lady is enslaving her servants. Quickly, sit down."

I want to discuss my departure with you all.

Only then did they sit back down in their chairs properly.

Yang Yu took out five hundred taels of silver and a book, held them with both hands, and respectfully said, "Master."

The second part of "Light as a Swallow"!

The two sisters were incredibly excited, but there were still three other people there.

They need to maintain their image.

Lin Chunyi took the book, and the two of them leaned closer to look. The cover of the book looked exactly the same as the one on the cover!

Who wrote such an unreliable book? They didn't even bother to write a two-part structure; they're just ripping people off...

Lin Chunyi read the book and said, "We only need the book; what do we need your money for?"

"This is the only thing I have that I can offer. Please accept it, my two masters." Yang Yu's voice was urgent, and he was about to kneel down again.

"Stop, don't kneel down so readily, sit back down first." Lin Chunyi closed the book in her hand and continued.

"Yang Yu, we promised you we would teach you martial arts, and we won't go back on our word."

But you need to understand that we can't spend all our time every day teaching you this.

Learning martial arts depends first on talent, and secondly on hard work. So every two weeks, we will come down the mountain to teach you martial arts.

How much you learn, and how far you go, depends on you. Understand?

If you can accept this, you can begin the apprenticeship process now; if you can't, take the book back and leave.

Yang Yu agreed without hesitation, "Master, I'll go prepare the apprenticeship ceremony right away!"

"Come back, don't make things so complicated. A whole bunch of procedures, it's a headache to hear about."

"You can just offer them tea."

Yang Yu hesitated for a moment, "Master, this is not appropriate."

Lin Lanshan said calmly, "You haven't formally become a disciple yet, so you don't need to listen to what I have to say?"

Yang Yu quickly straightened his clothes and knelt down to pay his respects to them.

Then, holding up a tray with two cups of tea, he said, "Master, Second Master, please have some tea."

Lin Lanshan: I feel like I've been insulted... "You called me Second Master? Then why don't you call me First Master, Sister?"

Yang Yu was stunned for a moment, unable to explain himself.

Lin Chunyi chuckled. "That's pretty silly."

She took the tea, took a sip, and said, "Having drunk your tea, from today onwards, you are our disciple."

You must keep martial arts training in mind and never slack off in your daily practice.

Also, we accept this gesture of respect today. Please don't kneel and bow to us again in the future.

You've been kneeling too much; I'm afraid it will shorten my lifespan. Get up.

"Yes, Yang Yu! I will always keep that in mind!"

After Yang Yu stood up, he took out another five hundred taels of silver, saying, "This is a gift from your disciple to your two masters."

Lin Chunyi raised her hand to stop her, saying, "Life in the village is not like life in the county town. There will be many places in the future where you will need money."

Keep it for yourself first; you can give it to them as a token of your filial piety when you've earned more money.

Lin Lanshan glanced at the two children, whispered something to her sister, and then beckoned them over.

"Ah Shu, Ah Hua. We can only help you find a place to stay temporarily."

How you live your lives from now on depends on your own efforts.

Here is one or two taels of silver, which I'm lending to you. Use it to buy some supplies and rice and flour.

Seeing that Ashu was about to refuse, she added, "You have to pay this money back; it's not a gift to you for free."

Here's what I'll do: I'll give you a year. You can go dig for wild vegetables, grow crops, learn a trade, or something similar.

Whatever you do, work hard to earn money. You must return this tael of silver to me a year from now.

Otherwise, I'll take all your things and kick you out, is that alright?

Ashu pulled his younger sister down to kneel, forcefully wiping away the tears that were about to spill.

He said, his voice trembling with suppressed tears, "Thank you both! I will work hard to earn money and pay you back as soon as possible!"

"Your immense kindness and virtue, my sister and I will repay you in this life and the next, even if we are reborn as cattle or horses!"

Lin Lanshan gave A-Shu a little over half an ounce of loose silver and more than three hundred copper coins, and told them to get up.

Lin Chunyi clapped her hands and said, "Alright, it's getting late. Ashu, go downstairs and ask the waiter to bring up some food..."

Then he asked, "Yang Yu, where are you staying tonight?"

“Master, my room is right next door.”

She nodded and continued to say to Ashu, "Go down and ask the waiter to bring up the food from both rooms."

From now on, if we need anything done, you'll have to do it, and Ahua will too, understand?

Even though Ashu and Ahua had a tael of silver and a place to stay, they still felt uneasy.

Because these things were given to them by others, not their own.

They don't know when they'll disappear... It's good that they can work! The more they do, the more they'll have to give.

Upon hearing this, Ashu grinned and happily said:

"Okay, Sister Lanshan and Sister Chunyi, please call us anytime! We'll work hard, I'll go right now!"

Ahua's eyes sparkled as she whispered:

"Me too! I can go call someone! I'll go bring the food up!" Then she happily followed him downstairs.

After having dinner in their rooms, the group went to sleep. When Yang Yu returned to his room, he took A-Shu with him.

They said there's a difference between men and women, and it wasn't appropriate to sleep in the same room as two masters...

The next day, before dawn, they left the inn and headed to the grain and oil shop.

Lin Chunyi led the mule cart:

"Yang Yu, it's still a long way from here to Luoxia Town, and then to Youxian Village."

We have too much food in our carriages; there's not enough room for all of you.

You'll have to rent a carriage yourself in a bit.

Of course, the most important thing is that, except for special cases like the last time when Zhang Dashan and the others were half-dead, they don't want Taozi to bring in outsiders.

After thinking for a moment, Yang Yu decided to buy a mule cart as well. The group then went to the livestock market in the West Market.

The two sisters helped negotiate the price, and Yang Yu got a dark brown male mule for eight taels of silver, along with a carriage.

Lin Lanshan suddenly asked, "Yang Yu, can you drive?"

"...No, but I can learn now!"

Learning to drive takes at least half an hour, which is too time-consuming.

She suddenly thought of something and chuckled.

He stroked Peach's mane and said, "Peach, go teach your new little brother how to do the work."

Then he asked Yang Yu to wait aside for a while, and then he would get on the mule cart and tell him how to control the reins.

Peach proudly walked up to the male mule and grunted a few times. Then she began to talk to him:

Little brother, from now on, you are my fifth little brother.

You must listen to me and obediently work for your master. Do you hear me?
