Chapter 44: 23.2

Chapter 23: Anger (2) Original translation is from tenderflower's blog.

His son was too excellent. Xiao Shouwang was both happy and worried. He was afraid that his b*stard, ruthless father and his rude and unreasonable eldest brother would covet the autumn wind, so as long as Xiao Lang hit a rare prey, both father and son would deliberately sell in Baishui Town, which was 20 miles away, rather than Pingyang Town, which was only six or seven miles away.

Except for their father and son, no one knew that in just two or three years, Xiao Lang had saved six or seven hundred taels of silver.

Listening to Xiao Lang’s indifferent tone, Shu Wan really wanted to ask how much money there was in his family, but, this kind of thing involved other’s household dishes, implements, or furniture, even if Xiao Lang treated her like a sister, it was not a family after all. She really couldn’t ask.

“Forget it, if Uncle Xiao finds out that the money is short and is unhappy, you can say you lent me the money, and don’t say the dagger cost ten taels of silver!” Shu Wan sighed helplessly. When she received the red envelope, she still had some spare money, so she could put it up for Xiao Lang first.

Xiao Lang looked at Shu Wan quietly. The worrying warning in those almond eyes warmed his heart. He nodded obediently.

Shu Wan breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the sky, and said with a smile: “Okay, let’s go look for Ah Lan.”

As a result, when they turned into the alley where the Qin family was located, they happened to see the Qin family servant leading a gray-haired old man into the yard.

The smile on Shu Wan’s face suddenly solidified and she trotted over.

So they and the doctor stepped into the hall at the same time.

With just one glance, Xiao Lang found Shu Lan’s location and then saw her shrinking in the arms of the old madam of the Qin family. With tears in her eyes, she looked at Zhu Yuanbao next to her. Her soft and tender hands were on her knees, and several blood marks were clearly visible.

Zhu Yuanbao was holding the rabbit that injured Shu Lan, “Look, Ah Lan, I got it back, don’t you want to touch it, feel free to touch it, it doesn’t matter if you pull all the rabbit fur!” It turned out that the four small claws of the rabbit were tightly wrapped in coarse cloth, and no matter how violently it fluttered, there was no way to hurt anyone.

Shu Lan looked at Zhu Yuanbao and wanted to reach out, but when she saw the rabbit’s red eyes, she suddenly felt very scared. It was not as cute as she thought, so she shrank into the old madam’s arms and her head was tightly pressed against the old madam’s warm chest. She pouted and said: “I won’t touch it, I don’t like rabbits anymore.”

Seeing the fear in her eyes, Zhu Yuanbao patted the rabbit hard, “Okay, what’s so interesting about this thing? Just wait, I’ll get you a red-billed bird, and it can talk to you!”

Shu Lan’s eyes lit up. She looked up at the old madam and asked curiously and expectantly: “Grandmother, is what Brother Yuanbao said true? Can birds speak?”

The old madam patted her head dotingly and said with a smile: “Mm, that’s right, that bird is called a parrot, not only can it talk, it’s also very beautiful, but you can’t touch it with your own hands again, it will peck you!”

After Shu Lan had learned the lesson of being playful, she nodded obediently, turned her head, and smiled sweetly at Zhu Yuanbao: “Then brother Yuanbao has to remember what he said!”

The already bright eyes were now curved into two crescent moons, lining the tears that hadn’t fallen in them.

Zhu Yuanbao was looked at like that by Shu Lan and he only felt like his heart was beating violently. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t calm down. No one knew if he was in a hurry or what, his white face turned red, and he nodded randomly, “Then wait, I’ll get it to you right now!” Carrying the rabbit, he ran out as if he were escaping.

The old madam nodded with satisfaction. She smiled and watched him run away. Seeing Shu Wan, she happily said: “Ah Wan is here, come and sit down!” She regarded Xiao Lang as a servant or an apprentice of the old man.

Shu Wan was worried about her younger sister’s injury, so she forgot to introduce Xiao Lang for a moment. She walked over quickly and looked at Shu Lan’s injury distressingly, “Grandmother, what happened?”

The old madam put Shu Lan aside and motioned the doctor to help check and apply the medicine. She explained to Shu Wan in a low voice. She was not very worried. The child was still young and the wound was shallow, so just applied some scar-removing ointment to make sure there would be no scar. Besides, the little granddaughter came to play with Zhu Yuanbao, she was happy and had a faint thoughts.

When their grandparent and grandchild talked, Xiao Lang followed the doctor to Shu Lan’s side, but he stood behind the doctor so that he could see Shu Lan, but Shu Lan could not see him. The clear water was already ready, and the doctor cleaned Shu Lan's wound again, applied milky white wound medicine, and made a sign that it was okay.

The old madam instructed the maid to lead the doctor to the housekeeper to get the money.

When the doctor was gone, Shu Lan only then saw Xiao Lang. She met his deep black eyes and was startled. In the blink of an eye, she hid beside the old madam, and scolded with a delicate voice: “Why are you here?”

The tone of vigilance and precaution was different from when she was talking to Zhu Yuanbao just now.

Xiao Lang’s chest seemed to have been cut by something. The pain was unbearable. Gradually, that uncomfortable feeling turned into anger, which accumulated little by little in his chest, slowly surged up and spread to the bottom of his eyes and he was staring straight at Shu Lan.

Just when his remaining sanity was about to disappear, the old madam’s puzzled voice came over, “Ah Wan, who is he?”

Except for Shu Lan, no one noticed Xiao Lang’s strange gaze. Shu Wan smiled and pulled Xiao Lang to the old madam and introduced: “Grandmother, he is Ah Lang. It will be Uncle Xiao’s birthday in a few days, he wants to buy a present, so I accompany him to the town to choose one.”

The old madam had naturally heard of Xiao Lang. Every time Qin-shi came over, she would always talk about him a few times. Listening and listening, she also liked this pitiful and sensible child from the bottom of her heart. Now that she had seen it with her own eyes, seeing Xiao Lang’s sword eyebrows and star eyes with a calm demeanor, she couldn’t help but nodded: “Mm, he’s a good boy. Okay, you two have lunch here. I’ll go to the front yard to check. Your aunts and the others have been very busy these past two days. They went to work again just after seeing Ah Lan, so I’ll go take a look.”

Shu Wan stood up and reached out to help her: “Grandmother, let me accompany you.” Turning around, she said to Xiao Lang: “Ah Lang, stay with Ah Lan for a while, watch her, and don’t let her cause trouble again!”

Shu Lan jumped up abruptly: “Older sister, me too...” But Xiao Lang stopped her, clasped her head with one hand, and interrupted her: “Mm, I know!”

The old madam looked back and saw that Xiao Lang had his back to her, and his hand was touching her little granddaughter’s head like coaxing a child. Knowing that the two of them grew up together, they were closer than brothers and sisters, so she didn’t think much about it and asked the maids to go together.

She couldn’t have guessed how much strength Xiao Lang put in his hand, and Shu Lan, who was blocked by him, had a look of horror on her face.
