Chapter 160 Ling Yan went here alone to find Lao Wei to ask about Si Xue's whereabouts!
Sixue fumbled around and found that it was already the morning hour, and it was almost time to set off. Sixue returned to the house and called Zhuzhu, and after washing up and eating breakfast, they left the Gu Mansion together.
When Sixue was about to get on the carriage with Zhuzhu, she did not forget to glance at the Gu Mansion behind her. That glance was a bit expectant and a bit indifferent.
This look seemed to last for a long time.
The coachman sat in the carriage, holding a whip, and looked at Sixue, who had been staring at the entrance of the Gu Mansion for so long for some reason. He had to hurry on his way, so he said anxiously, "Miss, it's time to get on the carriage, don't just stand there and stare."
Sixue finally came back to her senses and looked at Zhuzhu who was holding her hands tightly. Zhuzhu's smile was very healing.
He looked up at the groom again and said gently, "Okay, I'll be right there."
Afterwards, the two of them left here together in a carriage and headed for the capital.
Sixue and Zhuzhu sat together in the carriage, looking at each other and couldn't help laughing. Although Zhuzhu couldn't speak, they had no problem communicating with each other using paper and pen.
At this time, a man carrying some luggage on his back, riding a horse, was riding towards an unknown thatched cottage in the county.
On the road, people saw someone riding a horse anxiously heading towards the main road, so they all avoided him and went to the left or right.
The man rode and stopped from time to time, unfolding a bamboo tube with a painting inside. He rode his horse while facing the painting, which showed a thatched cottage.
Most of these huts looked exactly the same, and the man felt that they were more and more dazzling. However, he still caught sight of that hut at first glance, because the yard of that hut was very special, and there were many pigeons in the yard, so there were often a lot of pigeon feathers flying out of the yard.
There was an old man feeding pigeons in the yard, and the door was open, which meant that he was always welcome to buy pigeons. Lingyan rode towards his yard on horseback. The old man heard the sound of horse hooves, turned around, took a look, shook his head, and laughed at something, then continued to feed the pigeons.
The old man turned out to be Old Wei. As soon as Ling Yan got off the horse, he ran to the yard where Old Wei was.
Ling Yan was panting and the clothes she was wearing were already a little dirty.
Seeing Ling Yan gasping for breath, Old Wei advised, "Young man! What's so urgent? Wait until you have breathed your last. Why not take it slow? Don't be in a hurry."
About half a second later, Ling Yan finally spoke: "Hello, old man! Are you Lao Wei? You said there was news about a girl. Do you know where you saw the girl?"
Lao Wei said, "I am Lao Wei, young man, I know who you are, you don't have to tell me your name, I already know it." Lao Wei turned around and pointed at the table and tea in the room, then turned back to Ling Yan and said, "Young man, go in and have some tea! Don't worry, my family will be back later, and you can talk in detail."
Ling Yan was a little anxious. She put her hands on her waist, looked around, then looked back at Old Wei and said, "Hello, old man. That girl is an important family member of mine. I want to go find her right now. I can't wait."
Lao Wei held a handful of corn in a bowl in one hand and threw it to the pigeons. The pigeons also rushed to eat the food first, but Lao Wei fed them slowly.
Old Wei glanced outside the yard and quietly asked Ling Yan, "Young man, can you tell me who that girl is to you?"
Ling Yan did not hesitate at all and told Lao Wei openly, "That's my wife. My wife and I have been walking together for a long time. When I heard that you had news about my wife, I immediately rushed over."
When Old Wei heard Ling Yan's words, he stared at her mischievously and whispered, "What? Young man, that girl is actually your wife's mother. Your wife is really amazing."
Ling Yan had no doubts at all and could guess why Lao Wei praised Si Xue so much, because Si Xue was a very capable woman who could learn anything very quickly. She said proudly, "Of course my wife, oh no, she herself is very capable! Then Lao Wei, can you tell me where did you see my wife?"
Old Wei answered the question irrelevantly, saying, "If your wife is like this pigeon, or even more naughty than this pigeon, and likes to fly around in the world and doesn't like to be confined in this cage, would you let her go free?"
Ling Yan said without hesitation: "Of course, if my wife loves freedom and loves to travel around the world, then I will give up everything and travel around the world with her. If she doesn't want my company, she can travel around the world alone. Everyone is free and should not be confined in this cage for the desires of anyone. The world is vast, we are not doves, we are eagles that can fly freely, and this is true for everyone!"
Old Wei couldn't help but laugh and said, "Young man, your future is limitless! You are so lucky to marry a woman like this!"
Ling Yan said happily: "Old man, there are many people who are better than me, you are too kind. But you are right about one thing, it is indeed my blessing to marry such a woman! Now, old man, can you tell me where you saw my wife?"
Old Wei glanced into the distance and saw a smiling man. When Old Wei waved, it was Chuangtian who was smiling. Old Wei immediately put away his smile.
Chuantian was very surprised why Lao Wei did not respond to him today. Normally, when he greeted Lao Wei, Lao Wei would always answer him with a smile, so Chuantian realized that something was wrong.
Old Wei glanced back at Ling Yan and said seriously, "Look at the man in the distance. He has the answers you want. He will answer all your questions and doubts."
Ling Yan listened to what Lao Wei said, and slowly turned her head to look behind her. Indeed, there was a man who was about to walk in. He was in rags, but had a dashing and heroic spirit. He was still smiling in the last second, and immediately became serious in the next second.
Lingyan kept staring at Chuantian from a distance until he walked into the yard. When Chuantian walked into the yard, Lingyan was still watching him.
Lao Wei walked into the house early, and Chuantian also looked at Lingyan for a few times, and simply walked into the house. When Chuantian walked in, he turned his head back to look at Lingyan from time to time. There was no communication between them, only staring at each other from time to time.
Chuan Tian thought: "Who is this person? Could he be here to buy pigeons from Lao Wei? But Lao Wei's pigeons are not fat! Who would like to buy them? He looks quite handsome, but not as handsome as me. How come he is taller than me? But what's the use of being tall? Can he eat it?"
Chuantian was an orphan who begged on the street. He was very short and was often bullied by children from wealthy families, who said he was a wild breed that no one wanted. However, one day, Lao Wei was selling pigeons at the market. Lao Wei was very sleepy due to lack of sleep, so he simply fell asleep. A gangster saw Lao Wei sleeping and wanted to take the opportunity to steal Lao Wei's pigeon. Unexpectedly, Chuantian, a kind child, stopped him and tried to snatch the pigeon, which woke Lao Wei up in his sleep. In the end, Lao Wei sent the gangster to the government, and seeing that Chuantian was pitiful, he simply took Chuantian home.
