Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse
Lady Yu smiled: “You have good taste! I let your father drink it, but he was not strong enough . I will never let him drink it again, he wasted my good wine!”
After that, she turned back and told the maid: “Pour it for the Fourth Girl! I have to have a good meal today . I won’t be in the mood to drink when I get down from the mountain!”
Yu Linglong’s affection for Lady Yu gradually increased . The two of them had a few cups . Lady Yu’s face was a little flushed, and even the wrinkles on her face seemed to stretch . She patted Yu Linglong’s hand and said: “Fourth Girl, you have only been in the mansion for a few days . I heard that you beat your aunt? And your father?”
Yu Linglong put down the wine cup and said coldly: “Hitting is. .h.i.tting, who would let them bully me!? Why, do you want to lecture me?”
Lady Yu laughed loudly: “Who said I wanted to lecture you? You beat them well!”
Yu Linglong was really taken aback this time . If Lady Yu dared to lecture her about her elders, she would have definitely left on the spot . If she was upset, it would be possible for the Lady to clean her up on the spot . But she never expected that the Lady would say she beat them well!?
The Lady Yu drank her wine in one sip and said: “My son, I really don’t know whose temperament he has . He always beats people with his fists! Except for me, his mother in the Yu house, no one has ever beaten him . And my daughter-in-law, who defends me every day like she’s defending a thief, speaks mysteriously, and makes me upset when she sees her! So I just moved up the mountain to live an easier life!”
Linglong suddenly understood: it turned out that Lady Yu escaped to the mountain to live a comfortable life and eat vegetarian . This old lady really has her own idea!
Lady Yu directed the maid to pour wine for Yu Linglong, and said wistfully: “Tell me, how did you clean up my daughter-in-law?”
Yu Linglong laughed . Who said that old people don’t gossip? Seeing Lady Yu like this, it seemed that she was happier than if she beat her herself .
Yu Linglong spoke vividly, and Lady Yu listened attentively, stroking her palms and laughing from time to time, yelling with joy . As the night darkened, the silhouettes of the old and the young drinking wine were projected on the edge of the window, their shadows stretched long on the brick floor in the yard, and their laughter became more and more joyous . In this quiet mountain forest, they floated far away .
…
It seemed that she hadn’t drunk so much wine since she came to the ancient times . When she woke up the next day, Yu Linglong saw the gloomy sky outside the window . She thought it was very early . Until Ling’er came in to serve her wash, she knew that they had already pa.s.sed the early morning hours .
“It’s very cloudy outside this morning, maybe it’s going to rain . ” Ling’er wrung the kerchief with hot water and handed it to Yu Linglong . “The old lady has been there twice and said everything is packed and said to leave when the lady gets up . ”
Yu Linglong wiped her face and felt a little more energetic: “Well, you asked someone to prepare, let’s go now . ”
After rubbing her teeth with green salt and rinsing her mouth, Yu Linglong remembered one thing: “How is the old lady?”
She drank so much wine yesterday that even she felt it was a little unbearable . Could the old lady be able to bear it at her age?
Ling’er smiled and said: “The old lady is very well . I saw her boxing in the yard this morning . ”
Yu Linglong smiled . This old lady was really healthy and full of energy . [Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse . com]
Lady Yu didn’t have a lot of things, and her servants were only two girls and two older women . Soon, the group left the temple and headed down the mountain .
A faint mist appeared on the mountain, and the road was hazy . The sky became more and more gloomy, and it felt like a mountain of rain was coming .
The old lady obviously liked Yu Linglong very much . She raised the curtain from time to time to ask Yu Linglong who was riding on Zhuiyue to come over and talk . Yu Linglong tightened the reins of the horse and rode side by side with the carriage . One of them was in the car and the other was on a horse, and the two of them chatted very happily .
Since traveling to ancient times, Yu Linglong had never said so much to one person . Although Lady Yu was old, she had a very cheerful personality . She and Yu Linglong shared many of the same views . They only knew each other for less than a day, but they had almost become friends regardless of their ages .
The two of them talked about wine from various places, and then they talked about Zhuiyue . Lady Yu was obviously a horse lover . She was full of praise for Zhuiyue, and when she mentioned the several horses she had raised when she was young, she became more and more excited .
While talking in this lively manner, a cold whirlwind blew on the ground . Yu Linglong sensitively felt the muscles on Zhuiyue’s body tighten, and at the same time, his two long horse ears p.r.i.c.ked up immediately .
Something is wrong!
Yu Linglong was slightly startled, and couldn’t help but tighten the reins in her hands .
This was the valley she pa.s.sed by yesterday . There was n.o.body around, but the trees were shaking strangely, making violent beating noises .
In the carriage, Lady Yu also faintly felt that something was wrong . She stopped the conversation and solemnly told the coachman: “Hurry up . ”
Yu Linglong narrowed her cold eyes slightly and looked at her surroundings with alertness . This group of people were old and young, and except for the coachman, they were all women . She herself had no weapons except for the dagger on her calf .
The abnormal noise in the woods and gra.s.s became more and more obvious . It was no longer the obvious retreat that she could feel yesterday . The air around her gradually became heavier, the dark clouds in the sky seemed to press down from above, and the wind seemed to be getting stronger .
There was a sullen shout from the depths of the gra.s.s . With this sound, a cyan figure flew out from the side of the road . Several maids suddenly screamed in exclamation . Yu Linglong neatly drew out her dagger and shouted in a deep voice: “Guard the carriage and protect the Lady!”
Unexpectedly, the figure flew out of the gra.s.s and fell heavily in the middle of the road, motionless, like a dead body .
Yu Linglong shook the reins and urged the horse to move forward, only to see that the man was wearing a cyan cloth with a cloth strip of the same color wrapped around his head, and his body was unexpectedly covered with blood .
Yu Linglong only glanced at it and knew that this person was already dead . Just when she raised her head, she saw two groups of people appearing in the woods at some unknown time . They were fighting each other . One was dressed in the same color as the corpse on the ground . The people on the other side were covered in black .
The strange thing was that the two groups of people only fought each other with fists and feet, and their moves were all killer moves, but they were all silent, suppressing their voices and just punching .
Yu Linglong breathed a sigh of relief . It seemed that the other party didn’t come to them, but they happened to pa.s.s by accidentally .
After just a few glances, she knew that the group of people in the blue clothing had fallen short . There were not many people in black, but they all had wonderful tricks . The people in the blue were not suitable opponents at all .
Thinking of the group of women and children behind her, Yu Linglong waved her hand and whispered: “Go!”
The sound was not loud, but it had already alarmed the two groups of people who were fighting . A man in black only glanced at them and then turned his head to concentrate on fighting the enemy, but a sharp whistle sounded from a man in blue .
