After breakfast, Ling 'er mysteriously pulled Little Lian to the side and stole a glance at the nanny who was sewing in the courtyard. She asked in a low voice,"Little Lian, I want to take the cordycep that Fei-er Tuanzi and the others picked to the market to exchange for some money. Where could he sneak out without being discovered?”
"What?" Little Lian cried out in surprise, causing Nanny to look in their direction. Ling 'er replied with an innocent smile and reminded Little Lian to lower her voice so that Nanny would not hear her.
As expected, Little Lian lowered her voice to the minimum and said with a troubled expression,""Miss, if you want to go out, you can ask Madam Yoo for instructions and ask her to send someone to accompany you. You sneaked into the market alone and brought such valuable items. What if something happened?”
"Who said I was alone? Don't I still have you? Don't you want to take a walk on the streets?”Ling 'er was like a wolf who was trying to seduce Little Red Riding Hood. She planned to pull Little Lian to her side.
After all, Little Lian was a twelve-year-old child, the age where she loved to play. Although the little girls in the residence took turns to take two days off every month and could go shopping in the market, there was too little time after all. Sometimes, they were delayed by other things. It was rare for them to go shopping once a month.
Of course, it was good to be able to accompany the young miss out to play, but if the master and madam knew about it, they would be beaten. Thinking of this, Little Lian felt extremely conflicted.
Ling 'er saw through her worries and whispered,"Don't worry, no one usually dares to come to our courtyard. We'll be careful and return quickly. We definitely won't be discovered.”
Little Lian's heart kept wavering, unable to make up her mind.
"Little Lian, accompany Miss out for a walk! I'll guard this place. Nothing will happen!”The nanny had appeared beside them at some point, holding an embroidery needle in her hand and looking at them with a faint smile.
Ling 'er was a little embarrassed. She hugged her arm and acted coquettishly."Nanny eavesdropped on us and scared us!”
Nanny smiled and said,"Who told you to hide it from Nanny?" In the future, if you have anything, tell this servant in advance. After all, this servant is a few years older than you and is more thoughtful than you. Miss, don't worry, this servant won't stop you from going out to play. In these ten years, you haven't left the door of the Gu residence! Sigh…"
Ling 'er knew that she could go out for a walk. How could she care about being sad with Nanny? She rushed into the house and wrapped up the box full of cordycep. She felt that it was too eye-catching and suddenly remembered that she had obtained a storage bag that only immortal cultivators had today. She searched everywhere in the room, but she could not find it no matter how hard she tried. She was so anxious that she broke out in a sweat.
Little Lian saw her miss running around in circles and asked curiously,""Miss, what are you looking for?"
"Little Lian, did you see such a big bag? It's dirty and I can't see its color clearly.”Ling 'er remembered that she had placed it by the bedside before breakfast. Why could she not find it all of a sudden? Could it be that the treasure-hunting mouse was reluctant to part with the treasure and secretly took it back? She stared at the little golden mouse suspiciously, making the little guy puzzled.
"Miss, are you talking about this?”Little Lian went out and came in again. She held an inconspicuous dark blue bag in her hand and helped the Golden Rat clear its name."This servant saw that this bag was too dirty to look at, so she took it to wash. He did not know what material it was made of, but it dried quite quickly.”
Ling 'er took it and used her divine sense to check inside. It was indeed that storage bag. Oh no! Ling 'er suddenly remembered that there were some paper treasures inside. Could they have been soaked?
She used her divine sense to scan the bag and found the talisman papers. She hurriedly took them out. Fortunately, there was no trace of water on these talisman papers. It seemed that this storage bag had a water-proof function.
Ling 'er put the yellowed paper back into the bag. After thinking for a while, he took out ten or so wormgrass from the jewelry box, wrapped them in a handkerchief, and stuffed them into his arms. The rest were all placed into his storage bag.
Little Lian's eyes widened as she saw a few pieces of paper suddenly appear in Miss's hand and then suddenly disappear. Then, even such a large jewelry box disappeared. She could not help but ask in surprise,"Is this the legendary qiankun pouch used by immortals? Where did you get it from, Miss?"
Ling 'er thought for a moment and called the nanny over. She said to them half-truthfully,"Didn't I tell you last time that an immortal took me in as an in-name disciple and taught me a cultivation technique and a token? Last night, my nominal master came again. He praised me for my hard work and rewarded me with this storage bag. You must keep it a secret, lest some evil people get jealous and snatch this treasure!”
When Nanny heard this, she felt happy for Miss. After suffering for ten years, she had finally made her mark. If Miss became a cultivator, Madame Yoo and her children would not dare to treat her any longer.
Little Lian was even more excited. She chattered and asked,"This is a gift from the Immortal? It can hold a lot of things, right? What was inside? I heard that the qiankun pouch can hold things that are several times larger than it. Did the jewelry box just now fit inside?”
Seeing her curiosity, Ling 'er took out a few items from the jewelry box and storage bag and showed them. Little Lian cried out in surprise.
With Nanny's approval, Little Lian brought Ling 'er to a hidden corner in the backyard. There was a messy pile of junk against the wall.
Little Lian moved away some of the large objects, and there was a dog hole that happened to be big enough for a child to crawl through. Little Lian tried to get out first. After moving away the items blocking the outside, she waved at Ling 'er and whispered,"Alright, there's no one outside. Miss, come out quickly!”
Ling 'er's thin and small body successfully drilled out of the hole. Before she went out, she did not forget to use some junk to cover the hole again to prevent being discovered.
When he came out to take a look, he saw that outside the walls of Scholartree Garden was a very remote dead end. Even during the day, very few people came here. Ling 'er was happy. The heavens were really helping me. If I wanted to sneak out in the future, it would be much more convenient.
Patting off the dust on her knees, Ling 'er happily followed Little Lian out of the dead end alley and came to the street facing the main gate of the Gu residence.
It was the busiest time on the street. Pedestrians came and went, and palanquins, mules, and carriages passed through the street from time to time. Perhaps this was a residential area. Other than small vendors hawking along the street, there were not many shops doing business.
Ling 'er was standing there and admiring the ancient-style buildings and streets. It was hard on Little Lian. This place was too close to the main gate of the Gu Residence. If the people in the residence saw it, it would be terrible.
What did he say? A person who looked like an errand boy suddenly exclaimed when he passed by them. Little Lian cried out in her heart,"Not good." She quickly moved to block Ling 'er's figure.
"Little Lian, are you resting today? Bring your sister out to play?" The servant recognized Little Lian and stopped to greet her.
