Chapter 7 The Jiang Lan Who Won't Grow Up

Jiang Lan was about to run away when an anxious figure jumped out of the alley, and a pair of warm hands pulled her into his arms.

"Are you injured?" Wen Daolin put her down, looked at her face carefully, and touched her body with both hands.

"Cough, cough, no, no." Jiang Lan didn't have time to hide. Who made herself not a real child, it felt strange to touch, but this was the first time she saw her master so anxious.

Wen Daolin didn't react until he saw her dodging, and withdrew his hand. He had nothing else to do, but now he was a little embarrassed. He glanced at the few people who were screaming for mercy and shrank into a **** ball, and immediately said sternly, "What happened? "

Jiang Lan looked at the cold eyes of Wen Daolin, who had always been gentle, and took hold of his jacket, "It's not advisable to stay here for a long time, let's get out of here first."

At first, I thought that this group of thugs deserved to die. Later, when I saw their tragic state, I felt a little cruel. Now I realize that living like this is actually the best punishment and retribution for their innocent people.

"Okay." Wen Daolin didn't say more, picked up Jiang Lan, and quickly returned to the guest room with light work.

The two picked up their luggage, checked out of the room, and led the horse out of the inn.

On the avenue, a group of people dressed in red and black were seen walking slowly from a distance, and it was estimated that the casualties of their accomplices had not been found.

Those who do bad things are already people from the government. The bad people are really powerful. What kind of ghost world is this?

"Let's get out of the city." Wen Daolin got on his horse, stretched out his arms to hug the little apprentice, hit the horse and left, and when he left the city gate, he galloped fast, and the horse slowly slowed down after a few forks.

Jiang Lan was choked up by the fast horse, and her throat was hoarse, which was very uncomfortable. Seeing that the horse's speed slowed down, she was relieved. So one by one, he told Wen Daolin the whole story.

Wen Daolin was silent for a moment, touched his apprentice's head, and his eyes showed determination, "This is all the fault of the teacher, and I will never leave you half a step when I go out."

"How could that be? The master also has his own business to do." Jiang Lan disapproved of Wen Daolin's self-responsibility. Everyone is an independent individual, and no one is completely responsible for anyone else. In the end, this is still his own problem. He has long been warned about the consequences of poor martial arts, but he has never taken things in this world seriously. Xiaoxi's warning is a joke to himself.

But today, Jiang Lan realized that as long as the task has not been completed, as long as he is still in this world, then whether he is a child or an adult, something like today will happen sooner or later. The only way to solve it is to increase the force value by yourself. If you don't practice martial arts well, how can you be worthy of your own rejuvenation. It is not easy to be a peerless beauty. Sure enough, there is no pie that falls in vain, and it is also a poison pie.

Jiang Lan made up his mind to practice martial arts well when he went back this time.

The two returned home, and this time the purchase came back empty-handed. The next day, Wen Daolin went out shopping alone, and at Jiang Lan's request, he brought back books introducing the world.

Jiang Lan finally understood the world.

This continent is called the East Continent, and to the east of the continent is the vast sea called the East China Sea. As for whether there is a West Continent beyond the sea, no one knows. Because people who try to go out to sea have never returned, and no one has ever successfully crossed the ocean.

To the west of the mainland is a mountain range called Chongshan, which no one can climb. According to those who want to climb the mountain, the mountain does not look high, but the mountain will grow taller. No matter how you climb, you will not be able to reach the top of the mountain. Not the mountain.

Some people say that there is a country on the other side of Chongshan called Zunguo. Someone entered it decades ago, but unfortunately they can no longer find the way.

There are several countries on this continent. At present, the one I live in is the largest country, which is called the Tian Dynasty. It is in the middle. There are several small countries in the north, and there is a southern barbarian country in the south.

In general, this is a male world, but it is slightly different from the ancient feudal society. Women can only stay in the boudoir before marriage, but can travel freely after marriage. Moreover, women must maintain chastity before marriage, but they can divorce after marriage, and the husband can remarry after death. This is a society that restricts unmarried women, but is open to married women, and has a slightly ancient European flavor. Except in the Southern Man Kingdom, men could have multiple wives and concubines, but women could only marry one. On the other hand, Nanman is more chaotic. Men can have multiple wives and women can have multiple husbands. That's why the people of the Celestial Dynasty called them Nanman.

As for Zunguo, it is said that women are respected. Because they have been missing for many years, there are relatively few records. Moreover, as a self-proclaimed civilized Chinese, Nanman is not pleasing to the eye, let alone women. So it is said that in history, the Celestial Dynasty and Zunguo did not communicate with each other, they hated each other, and it seemed that war broke out. Until the road to Zunguo disappeared 20 years ago, Zunguo completely disappeared from everyone's sight.

After Jiang Lan finished reading, I have to say that this is still a very complicated world, and the social outlook and values ​​are not unified. But on the whole, it is still much better than those social forms that are immersed in pig cages to build chastity arches.

The task was delayed, probably because of his poor martial arts skills, so Jiang Lan practiced diligently every day, even studying the fists and weapons that he did not like.

Time passes day by day.

Wen Daolin called Jiang Lan in front of him one day after his martial arts practice was over. He reached out and held her hand, resting on the pulse of her wrist for a long time without saying a word.

After a while, Wen Daolin carefully observed his apprentice's red face, "Do you feel any discomfort?"

"No, I'm fine, but I'm just a little tired from practicing martial arts. Master, don't worry." Jiang Lan was slightly coquettish, grabbing Wen Daolin's arm and shaking it, his big eyes glowing with a cunning light. It is necessary to practice martial arts, but it is also necessary to add some benefits to adjust your life. The food cooked by the master tastes very good, so I should plan to ask the master to cook two more good dishes, such as…

Wen Daolin looked at the pretty doll with a ghostly face and sighed inwardly. Seriously said: "Xiaozhu has been here for a year and a half. You should be 7 or 8 years old now, right?"

"Well, probably." Jiang Lan didn't know what he meant.

Wen Daolin pulled Jiang Lan's white clothes, "This clothes was changed for you by your teacher when you first came here. Later, although I also added spring, autumn and winter clothes for you, it has always been like this for the past year and a half."

Jiang Lan looked at Wen Daolin suspiciously. Could it be that the master found out in conscience that he wanted to buy beautiful clothes for himself?

"All your clothes are the same length and size. In the past year and a half, I have never found that you are too short or fit." Wen Daolin looked at the confused girl very seriously, "That is to say, this In a year and a half, you have never gained a single point or gained half a catty."

Jiang Lan suddenly understood and was shocked. Because she thought about completing the task and going home all day, she never noticed that she was different. Originally, children of this age group can still grow very well, even if they grow slowly, they will not grow at all. And now that he has no movement at all, is he going to become a dwarf in the future?

Jiang Lan's sense of crisis of the peerless beauty disappeared, and she was more reluctant to become a monster than the trouble of the beauty. Could it be that because of his habit of slandering Xiaoxi, Xiaoxi changed his mind.

No, Xiaoxi God, I will never scold you again. I'd rather be a peerless beauty and bring disaster to the country than a dwarf. Jiang Lan cried in his heart, and his face was tangled in a ball.

"I think this is the purpose of the person who poisoned you in the first place." Wen Daolin hugged Jiang Lan in his arms and looked at this beautiful face with pity. Is it because of this that he was persecuted and let She will never grow up, or she can satisfy certain hobbies of some people. Thinking of the incident in Jincheng, Wen Daolin suddenly tightened his body, and the light in his eyes was terrifying.

He stroked Jiang Lan's smooth hair and patted her back, "Don't be afraid, I've searched thousands of mountains and rivers for my teacher, and I will definitely get rid of this poison for you."

Jiang Lan broke free from his hand, raised his head and asked him, "What if I can't figure it out?"

Wen Daolin stood up, held her up in his hands, looked her in the eyes and said solemnly and firmly, "It's okay if we can't understand it. We master and apprentice will live with each other like this for a lifetime."
