Chapter 18 (1/2)

At this time, Xu Lian was hanging clothes in the yard, but she suddenly heard Xu Ning's voice.

Then he saw Xu Ning push the door and enter. He held a wine jar in his hand and a big knife on his back. He looked dusty.

”You're back.”

Xu Lian smiled on her face.

She quickly put the washing basin in her hand on the ground and greeted her.

This was Xu Ning's first escort. Although she followed Tao Yungang, she was still worried.

At the moment, seeing Xu Ning returning intact, Xu Lian's worry was relieved.

”This is the wine for my brother-in-law.”

Xu Ning handed the wine jar to Xu Lian.

In fact, before leaving Kangyun County, Xu Ning bought two jars of wine for his brother-in-law Tao Yunchuan.

But in the subsequent fight, one jar of wine was broken, so only one jar was brought back.

”Spending money again.”

Xu Lian took over the wine jar and habitually said a word to her brother.

But compared with before, there was no more blame in her tone.

Now that her family has savings, her brother has become a martial artist. Xu Lian no longer cares about the expenses in life.

”I'll wash it first and change my clothes.”

Xu Ning felt sticky on himself at this time.

”Put your clothes in the basin and I'll wash them for you.”

Xu Lian said.

”I see, sister.”

Xu Ning is not hypocritical and should say.

But just two steps away, Xu Lian suddenly stopped Xu Ning.

She first saw the blood on the blade behind Xu Ning, and then noticed that there was a dry dark red on Xu Ning's body.

”Is this blood on you?”

Xu Lian frowned slightly.

Xu Ning paused, nodded and said, ”yes, I met a group of thieves on the road. They fought and dared to run away.”

Xu Ning didn't hide it, but he hid all the danger of the situation.

He didn't want to worry his sister.

However, although Xu Ning spoke lightly, Xu Lian's face changed slightly.

”Are you hurt?”

Xu Lian came up and looked at Xu Ning.

Seeing this, Xu Ning shook his head: ”no injury, look...”

With that, Xu Ning turned around in place, and then jumped twice. His movements looked very smooth.

Xu Lian was relieved: ”that's good...”

After that, Xu Ning took off his clothes, washed them, and put on the clean clothes brought by Xu Lian.

A repair, whether physical or mental fatigue, is swept away in a short time after returning home.

Xu Ning was refreshed.

”Is my uncle back?”

Xu Ning had just cleaned his hair in the house when he heard Tao Tao entering the door.

The little girl just went home after going crazy with her little partner outside.

Soon, Tao Tao trotted all the way and pushed open the door of Xu Ning's house.

”Uncle!”

Tao Tao saw Xu Ning coming back, grinned, rushed to Xu Ning and hugged his waist.

Seeing Tao Tao's happy face, Xu Ning couldn't help laughing.

But he still grabbed Tao Tao's pigtail and pulled her away from himself.

”Peach, stay away from me. You're covered in dirt. I've just washed it.”

Tao Tao doesn't mind Xu Ning's dislike.

”Come here.”

After opening Tao Tao, Xu Ning called her to the table.

Tao Tao leaned over and stood on tiptoe, revealing half his head on the table.

”You see, do you like it?”

With that, Xu Ning took out a wooden hairpin from the package.

The wooden Zan hairpin is blue, with simple patterns on it, which looks exquisite and beautiful.

”This is for me?”

Tao Tao tilted his head and looked at Xu Ning with his mouth open, with an exaggerated expression unique to children.

”Here you are.”

Xu Ning said, putting the hairpin in Tao Tao's hand.

Tao Tao took the green wood hairpin and held it in his hands, as if he were holding some rare treasure.

She stared at the wooden hairpin, her eyes seemed to be shining.

After a while, Tao Tao burst into laughter.

As soon as she turned and ran out, she shouted, ”Mom, look, my brother-in-law has brought me a present!”
