Chapter 190 There is a noble person to help
Fang Qingqing and Sun Jiye rode in Su Ze's carriage. It must be said that they were a little reserved.
Su Ze wiped the feather arrows he had picked up one by one, which were covered in blood and dirt, without even looking up.
Sun Jiye watched and asked quietly, "Is archery tiring?"
Su Ze didn't often interact with children, but since he was asked, he would answer, "Drawing a bow takes effort."
At this point, thinking of Liu Hu getting along well with the children, he continued, "If you want to learn, I can teach you, but you need to be calm and composed to succeed."
Fang Qingqing looked at Sun Jiye with anticipation on her face, but then she immediately backed off, thinking that Su Ze really didn't know how to talk.
She patted Sun Jiye's shoulder and said, "It's okay. Uncle Hu will teach you kung fu, even if you don't have to practice archery. Didn't I teach you two moves yesterday?"
Sun Jiye nodded, looking up with guilt and sadness, "Yes, I'm just afraid of people and dare not use it."
Su Ze listened to Fang Qingqing, glanced at her, and handed a feather arrow to Sun Jiye. Sun Jiye was holding it passively. The arrow was sharp even with its feathers. Su Ze had already wiped the tip clean, revealing a crystal luster.
"This can be used from a distance. You should be able to do it with your strength. When we get back to South City, I'll go to your yard and teach you. Ask your mother to set up a target for you in the yard."
Sun Jiye felt that shooting arrows from a distance would not only make him less afraid but also be useful. He was very much looking forward to it and said, "I think my mother would agree."
"I will definitely agree."
Fang Qingqing lowered her eyes and smiled softly, thinking that Su Ze and Liu Hu were very funny. She suddenly missed her Xu Yi very much and wondered if that fool missed her in South City.
"Your name is Jiye?" Pan Yingqiu suddenly spoke, speaking softly and in a gentle tone. Sun Jiye felt very pleased and nodded quickly.
"Yes, hello Madam Su, my name is Sun Jiye."
Pan Yingqiu was very satisfied with Sun Jiye's title. Although Fang Qingqing was dissatisfied, she could only say, "It's not yet a formal ceremony, so she's not considered Madam Su."
Fang Qingqing glanced at Su Ze. The face that once haunted her dreams now seemed like a stranger. There was only a slight sense of familiarity, but the previous bond was long gone.
Because this world is so complicated, she has forgotten the resentment of her past life and is only busy resolving the sorrows of this life.
I thought about chatting with friends before, and they all talked about traveling through time to some dynasty and walking hand in hand with some prince.
Now she only feels that only under the protection of the Sky Eye and socialism can she truly live a long life.
"It's nothing. Children speak without restraint. Is your name Sun Jiye? How old are you?" Pan Yingqiu glanced at Fang Qingqing lightly and didn't pay much attention to this noisy woman.
She knew this person's identity. The "crazy little girl" that Mr. Sun had called her, and the "Miss Qing" that Xiao Lan had given her, were just identities. Ultimately, she was just a village girl who wasn't presentable enough, not worth mentioning.
"I... am six years old." Sun Jiye still remembered what Xiao Zongshan had reminded him before. If he wanted to become Xiao Lan's real son, he must not say the wrong words, do the wrong things, or he would be abandoned if he took the wrong steps.
Pan Yingqiu was surprised and covered her mouth with her hands. "Cousin, Sister Xiao raised her son so well. He's already so tall at the age of six. I believe Master Sun was also a tall man. It's a pity that he died young..."
Su Ze immediately interrupted Pan Yingqiu and said, "Stop talking nonsense."
Su Ze knew about the incident when Sun Shaohua and Sun Jiye encountered bandits. Xiao Lan said that the incident had a profound impact on Sun Jiye, and he suffered from nightmares every night, and it took him a long time to recover.
"My father is indeed extraordinary in appearance, and his talent is a good match for my mother, but he has a short life." Sun Jiye's words were old-fashioned, which made Fang Qingqing look at him with admiration. She was about to say a few words to Pan Yingqiu, but it seemed that there was no need.
Su Ze glanced at Sun Jiye and put another feather arrow in his hand. "Do you want to learn?"
"I think this can help Master and Uncle Hu." Sun Jiye has already taken Old Yu as his master and calls him Master wherever he goes.
"It's not easy for your mother either. She has to take care of you and your two children, and she often encounters bandits. It's a tragedy for a son to want to be filial but his parents are not around. In the future, you should learn archery from Magistrate Su and help your mother." Pan Yingqiu lowered her eyes and folded the handkerchief. She said harsh words but didn't care.
"My mother is destined to have noble people to help her! Isn't it thanks to Lord Su's help this time? I also have Uncle Tiger and Master who are highly skilled in martial arts." Sun Jiye said frankly, and turned to look at Su Ze, "Lord Su, you will help my mother, right?"
Pan Yingqiu's face, which always smiled, froze instantly after what the child said. Su Ze curled his lips and handed him a clean feather arrow, "Of course."
Fang Qingqing wanted to help, but she found that Sun Jiye was even better at speaking than she was.
She lowered her head and chuckled, "Ah, children still speak without restraint."
-----------------
There were three carriages in total, which rushed at full speed and finally arrived at the nearest inn to the capital in the dead of night.
Once here, we could set out again tomorrow morning and enter the city after dark. However, the city gates would be closed by then, so we decided to have a quick rest for the night and leave before dawn the next day.
The innkeeper was a warm-hearted woman, her face wrinkled with work, but with a warm smile. Seeing someone injured, she even asked a waiter to go to the nearby village to fetch a doctor.
Li Si was about to refuse, but Old Yu felt he had to see it, thinking that applying some medicine in the cold weather would help him heal faster. He also explained the moves, saying, "When that man came at you with a knife, you should have dodged first..."
Li Si had no time to care about it and could only nod perfunctorily, "Yes, yes, I'll remember that next time."
Xiaobai said hurriedly, "Don't do it again next time."
Xin'er waved her hand and said, "Don't come next time." Sun Jiye rubbed her head, turned his round head to Pan Yingqiu behind him, glanced at her and said nothing.
Fang Qingqing pulled Jiye and said, "Yes, but please don't come next time. Otherwise, it will make people sad..."
The carriage driven by Liu Hu was the last to stop. Xiao Lan fell asleep, and Xin'er was also sleeping soundly in Mother Xu's arms.
Xiaobai and Fang Qingqing arranged the room and came out to meet him. Liu Hu hu sighed and turned around to see Xiao Lan lifting the curtain and sticking her head out.
Her long hair was loosely braided and hung over her shoulders, with a few strands falling on the other side. She looked up with tired eyes, "Xin'er has fallen asleep, speak softly."
She glanced at Liu Hu, who was stunned and motionless. "Help me, my feet hurt."
Liu Hu quickly responded and carried him out of the carriage.
Then Mother Xu came out, and Liu Hu took the soft little girl from Mother Xu's arms and held her in his arms.
He wanted to chase Xiao Lan, who was being supported by Fang Qingqing, but he was afraid of waking Xin'er in his arms. Cautious yet anxious, Xiaobai saw something was wrong as Xu was stretching her muscles.
"Master Hu, let me do it." Xiaobai took Xin'er and glanced at Liu Hu secretly.
"Thank you." Liu Hu gathered the little person in Xin'er's arms in his clothes and hurriedly caught up with Xiao Lan.
"I'll hold you."
He did not allow Xiao Lan to refuse and picked her up with both hands.
The enthusiastic proprietress saw this and said, "Oh, Madam, are you injured too? Let's go to the upper room. Come this way..." and then she led Liu Hu.
Xiao Lan was too lazy to struggle in this situation. He was about to wake up and felt powerless. "You are going too far."
Liu Hu remained silent. Pan Yingqiu was standing next to Su Ze. Pan Yingqiu nodded and smiled politely at Liu Hu, while Su Ze looked at him with a cold face.
