A pretty metaphysical widow supports her six children by fortune telling!

"My, my name is Fang Nan!"

Fang Pinlan closed her eyes tightly and hesitated.

The big man was naked but not timid at all. He even asked with his hands on his hips.

"You kid, what are you doing with your eyes closed? We are all men!"

"I am a little book boy in a wealthy family. I am timid."

Fang Pinlan tried her best to explain, but the big man showed a different expression.

"Oh? How is it possible that the book boy from a wealthy family has never seen anyone else? Don't think I'm a fool."

Fang Pinlan still closed her eyes tightly and said nothing. There was no other way, so the big man could only tie the soaked clothes around his waist.

"Okay, open it."

Fang Pinlan opened her eyes. Although the big man was still naked from the waist up, his exposed lower body was covered at least.

"You guys who come from rich families have a lot of problems. Wait, you come from a rich family? Where do you come from a rich family?"

Fang Pinlan was choked by the question, "Of course it's the Fang family."

The big man looked at her blushing face and her beard that was stained by sweat, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

The appearance also looks somewhat familiar.

"From your accent, the Fang family in the capital?"

Fang Pinlan didn't answer, her heart was beating so fast that it almost jumped out of her chest.

The rain was still falling outside the ruined temple, and a thunder struck.

Fang Pinlan was so frightened that she squatted down and hugged her head.

"The little book boy is running around, he must be in trouble now."

After saying that, the big man turned around and left. After the fire lit by hay dried the moistened firewood, the big man lit a fire.

Fang Pinlan was still hiding behind the Buddha statue, looking at the big man timidly.

The fire was crackling and the big man was baking his own clothes. Seeing Fang Pinlan's look, he just felt funny in his heart.

"Why don't you come here? Are you afraid of me?"

Fang Pinlan nodded.

"Don't worry, I'm just a deserter, not a bad guy who robs people's homes."

"deserter?"

Seeing that he seemed to be in no danger, Fang Pinlan approached him step by step.

Her clothes were a little moist before, and the fire finally made her feel warmer.

"Little book boy, where are you going?"

"My master has returned my deed of sale, and I am going to go to the countryside to join a distant relative of mine."

Fang Pinlan calmed down a bit and began to lie casually.

Perhaps because she was closer to the fire, Fang Pinlan's appearance was clearer now. Combining what she said before, the big man was more sure of his suspicion.

"Oh? Then why don't you take the official road and take a small road like this?"

"Is it possible?"

The big man's eyes became unreadable, and at the same time his head moved closer to her.

Fang Pinlan stared at the face of the approaching man with her almond-shaped eyes.

"Could it be something?"

"Is it possible that you stole something from the master's house and sneaked out? This is a crime for you. No, I will report it to the official tomorrow."

Fang Pinlan was not a vegetarian either, so she rolled her eyes.

"Go, go, you'd better take me there. Then we'll see whether I'm more guilty of stealing or you are more guilty of deserting!"

The big man laughed loudly and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this is still the same little Pinlan back then, smart and fierce.

"By the way, what's your name?"

The big man hesitated for a moment, naturally he couldn't say his name, Bai Anyu, so he lowered his head and smiled bitterly. "From the moment I became a deserter, I no longer had a name."

Fang Pinlan looked at him innocently, then hugged her knees and looked at the flames.

"It doesn't matter if you don't tell me. Anyway, we just met by chance. I will leave immediately when the heavy rain stops tomorrow morning."

"Leave?"

Fang Pinlan shook his head, and I asked a passerby, "There is a county just a few steps ahead. Then I will rent a carriage and walk to the next county for a while, then change to a carriage."

"I didn't expect that your tracking skills were quite good."

The rainy night was long, and the two of them chatted every sentence, until Fang Pinlan fell asleep, holding her baggage tightly in her arms and falling asleep against the wall.

Bai Anyu threw a piece of firewood into the fire, and the flames became slightly weaker.

He raised his eyes to look at Fang Pinlan who was sleeping.

Maybe she was too tired from the journey, but Fang Pinlan was sleeping so soundly and was still mumbling something.

Bai Anyu just looked at her quietly, her thoughts drifting back to her childhood.

Bai Anyu's grandfather once served as the commander of the Forbidden Army. Although his father was incompetent, he had a mother with many connections.

Bai Anyu's mother had a good relationship with the eldest lady of the Fang family, so Bai Anyu naturally had the opportunity to play with Fang Pinsheng.

One day, the two of them went to catch fish in the pond in the backyard. After having enough fun, Bai Anyu and Fang Pinsheng were about to go ashore, but they couldn't find their clothes. They were so angry that they were in trouble in the water.

The pond in the Fang family's backyard is large and deep, and Mrs. Fang repeatedly ordered not to enter the pond.

If the two of them walked out naked like this, it would not only make the servants laugh, but it would definitely reach Madam Fang's ears.

That would inevitably lead to another scolding.

Just as the two were discussing what to do, a stone fell into the pond, and the water splashed Bai Anyu's face.

Bai Anyu looked up and saw a little man carved in pink and jade sitting on the rockery, looking at him with a smile, his eyes bright and bright, like a crescent moon.

"Fang Pinlan! I knew it was you!"

"Hurry up and give us your clothes!"

Fang Pinlan was only ten years old at that time, and it was the time when she was naughty.

She made a face.

"Stop! I want you to play in the water without me!"

"What are you talking about? This is for men. How can you strip naked and get into the water?"

Fang Pinsheng was often teased by his naughty sister and was a little annoyed.

"You just won't play with me. If you want clothes, call my aunt three times to come and listen!"

As she spoke, Fang Pinlan crossed her arms and hummed a song, and the butterfly tassel hairpin on her bun floated gently with her movements.

Fang Pinsheng cursed loudly, but Bai Anyu found this little girl very interesting.

"Auntie! Auntie! Auntie!"

Bai Anyu blurted out "auntie" three times, and Fang Pinlan smiled triumphantly, threw his clothes away, and turned around at the same time.

"You know what's going on! Put it on quickly!"

Bai Anyu quickly put on her clothes, jumped up and ran up the rockery, and captured Fang Pinlan in one fell swoop.

"Oh! Why did you use your hands and feet? I'll sue my mother!"

"Okay! Then I'll sue you for peeping in my shower!"

"you!"

Now Bai Anyu couldn't help but laugh when she recalled her swollen little face that day. In the blink of an eye, she had grown into a tall and graceful young girl.

As for him, since his mother died and his father married another woman and returned home, he has never been to the Sheng family again.

When he was wandering around the capital, if he hadn't been appreciated by King Duan, he would have been taken to the battlefield with him.

I'm afraid he doesn't know which fireworks alley he died in.
