Chapter 115: Trust and Good news!
Lin Yuelan nodded, “Oh!” She believed that Jiang Zhennan was no fool. After this lesson, he would have his own judgment on whether he could trust people or not. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be their defender-general of the state. How else could he manage hundreds of thousands of troops?
The conversation stopped there. The two sobered up and walked towards the Lin family Village.
However, when they arrived at the intersection of the mountain behind the Lin family Village, Lin Yuelan looked at the unconscious ones and frowned.
She had made a promise to the Lin family Village chief that other than little white, no other animals would be allowed into the village. So Liefeng and Little White either had to carry all of them, or the four had to wake up, and they had to walk on their own. Clearly, the latter was more plausible.
Because ... Lie Feng and little White would never carry anyone else.
Lin Yuelan jumped down from little White’s back and took out a white porcelain bottle from the black backpack she had made herself. She poured out four green pills from the porcelain bottle, sealed the bottle cap, and put it back into her bag. Then, she walked to big black and little black, opened the unconscious men’s mouths, and threw the pills in.
After doing this, she clapped her hands and walked back to little white. With a light leap, she jumped back onto little White’s back.
Throughout this process, Jiang Zhennan didn’t say anything.
Then, the two continued to move forward again. Big black and little black slowly followed behind.
Lin Yuelan asked in confusion, “masked uncle, aren’t you going to ask me what I fed them?”
Jiang Zhennan pursed his lips tightly. Then, he opened his mouth under the mask and said, “I believe that miss Lin will never harm them.”
Lin Yuelan was stunned. Then, she burst out laughing and asked curiously, “masked uncle, do you really trust me that much? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll give them poison?”
Jiang Zhennan said very seriously, “If miss Lin really wanted to harm them, you would have done so earlier. Would you need to wait until now? Moreover, with miss Lin’s outstanding ability, why would Miss Lin rely on a despicable method like poisoning?”
Lin Yuelan was slightly shocked. She had never thought that Jiang Zhennan would actually trust her so much.
This time, Lin Yuelan smiled sincerely and asked, “Oh, really?”
“Yes!” Jiang Zhennan answered without hesitation.
Lin Yuelan fell silent again as if she was in deep thought.
Jiang Zhennan’s hand that was holding the reins tightened slightly. The expression under the mask seemed to be a little startled. Then, he said, “miss Lin ...”
“Masked uncle, we’re already so familiar with each other. You don’t have to keep calling me Miss Lin. You can just call me Yuelan or Xiao Yue, Xiao Lan.” Perhaps Lin Yuelan was touched by Jiang Zhennan’s trust, so she became closer to him too.
Jiang Zhennan’s heart warmed up, and he blurted out, “I’ll call you Yue ‘Er!” Yue ‘Er sounded closer and more intimate.
Hmm? Lin Yuelan was a little confused. ‘Why Yue ‘Er? How is that better than Yuelan or Xiao Yue or Xiao Lan? Then again, it’s just a term of address. Anything works.’
Lin Yuelan immediately smiled and nodded. “Sure, masked uncle!”
Jiang Zhennan felt that maybe he had misspoken. Just as he was about to take back his words, Lin Yuelan told him that it was fine. She didn’t mind him calling her Yue ‘Er, so he swallowed his words back.
But...
“Yue ‘Er, don’t always call me masked uncle or general uncle. Why don’t you call me big brother Jiang or big brother Nan?”
Although he was wearing a silver mask and was indeed a bit older than her, he still felt a little uncomfortable being addressed as the masked uncle. It made him sound at least one generation older than she was.
