Chapter 38 Picking a Guard
Chapter 38 Selecting Guards
After eating, Su Qingtian didn't even have time to wipe her mouth, so she pestered General Xiao to take her to choose a bodyguard.
The old man originally wanted his grandchildren to go after their lunch break, but in the end he couldn't resist the little girl's coquettishness and cuteness, so he led the two children out.
The carriage swayed and stopped in front of a village in the suburbs.
This place was bought by Mr. Xiao when he first came to Fengcheng.
The majestic old general stepped into Zhuangzi holding Su Qingtian in one hand and Xiao Nan in the other.
Lu Wuming followed behind the three to protect them.
Zhuangzi is not a big place, and there are a few women and day laborers who do menial work here and there, and the rest who are practicing martial arts are the secret guards raised by the Xiao family.
The more than twenty secret guards are all young. They were originally a group of homeless orphans. After being rescued by the Xiao family, they volunteered to follow the Xiao family and become secret guards to repay the Xiao family's great kindness.
Lu Wuming was one of them.
General Xiao did not lead the two children into the training ground. He ordered Lu Wuming behind him, "Wuming, go and let them prepare. I will take the two little ones to visit the village."
"yes."
Lu Wuming cupped his fists and saluted, then walked to the training ground behind Zhuangzi.
This Zhuangzi is actually General Xiao’s favorite place.
Although this place is not big, the scenery is superb.
There is also a small waterfall behind Zhuangzi, and my sons have come here from time to time to relax.
Su Qingtian also discovered the beauty of this place.
There are trees full of fruits, golden wheat fields with abundant harvests, and even the rice fish in the rice fields are particularly plump.
It is true that the Xiao family has the blessing of their ancestors.
After leaving the place shrouded by the evil spirit, the Xiao family's lifeline was enough for them to live an extremely happy and comfortable life.
Looking up at General Xiao and Xiao Nan at the side, Su Qingtian found that the black energy surrounding them gradually dissipated after they entered Zhuangzi.
In fact, as long as the Xiao family moves into this clean treasure land, the evil spirit around them will be automatically eliminated, and it will only be a matter of time before the body returns to its previous health.
I'm afraid that people from the Shumo Xiao family will also know about this place and secretly use voodoo techniques again, which will lead to more gain than loss.
Xiao Nan has been to this small village a few times before. Every time he came, he would follow the gatekeeper around alone. Now that he has a sister like Su Qingtian, he can't wait to become a knowledgeable guest.
"Grandpa, I'm very familiar with this place. How about I take my sweet sister to play for a while."
Seeing that his grandson was in high spirits, Mr. Xiao nodded and said, "Go, don't run too far."
After receiving permission, Xiao Nan picked up Su Qingtian and ran towards his favorite place.
There are sweet hawthorn trees over there, as well as big, big apples. Sister Tiantian will definitely love to eat them.
Xiao Nan took Su Qingtian around all the way. When she saw familiar tenants, she asked others to pick fruits for her to eat. Some old ladies who knew Xiao Nan even took out a lot of home-made sweets from their bags and stuffed them into the two
Little baby.
Su Qingtian accepted all the orders. The amount of fruit was enough for today.
Xiao Nan also took her to the waterfall in the back mountain. Although the waterfall was not big, it was particularly delicate. The sound of the rushing water was refreshing, bringing a bit of coolness to people in this hot afternoon.
The tenant who was going out to farm saw Xiao Nan and said quickly, "Little Gongsun, don't dare to get too close to the water."
"Got it."
Xiao Nan held Su Qingtian's hand tightly and stood a few steps away from the river.
He just wanted to show his sweet sister this beautiful waterfall. He knew the dangers of deep water and would definitely not let anything happen to his sister.
The two looked at each other for a while, then Xiao Nan ran back with Su Qingtian, calculating in her mind that time was almost up and she couldn't keep her grandfather waiting.
When they returned to Mr. Xiao, their faces were flushed, and there were dense beads of sweat on their foreheads and the tips of their noses.
But there was no trace of fatigue in their eyes, they were full of vitality.
Seeing his increasingly healthy grandson and well-behaved and lovely granddaughter, the depression in Mr. Xiao's heart gradually dissipated.
"Look at this sweat."
Mr. Xiao used his sleeves to wipe the sweat of the two children. Although the sun was still strong just after noon, the wind in the wild was always cooler than in the city.
He was afraid of being blown away by the wind, so he said while wiping, "Lu Wuming's side should be ready. You two take a sip of water and select a guard for Xiao Qingtian later."
He picked up the warm water that had been prepared on the table and watched his grandchildren drink it obediently.
Seeing Su Qingtian sigh happily, Mr. Xiao chuckled.
This precious granddaughter of ours is so cute, I feel better every time just watching her eat.
General Xiao stood up. Su Qingtian immediately understood what her grandfather meant, and quickly leaned over and stuffed her little hand into his calloused palm.
Xiao Nan looked at it, walked to the other side of his grandfather, and took the initiative to hold his hand.
Before the senior and young children stepped into the backyard training ground, the sound of fighting came through the circular courtyard gate.
Seeing General Xiao coming in with his two young masters, Lu Wuming gave a loud shout.
"Return to the team!"
The young men put away their postures and gathered their weapons in a well-trained manner, and lined up in front of Lu Wuming at an extremely fast speed.
Sweat soaked their clothes and backs, but they still looked forward firmly, waiting for their master's review.
General Xiao was very pleased to see these children growing up.
He remembered how many of these children were so weak that they almost couldn't be saved.
Now they have grown into tall and strong young men, which is really a moment full of hope.
"Xiao Qingtian, all the guards at grandpa's house are here."
The old general knelt down, held Su Qingtian in one hand and pointed at the rows of young men with one hand, and said softly, "Go up and choose."
The little girl narrowed her eyes, put her little hands behind her back, and walked steadily towards the teenagers with her short calves.
He looked like a little adult, looking at each one from left to right seriously.
Although the teenagers did not dare to move, they could not help but look down at the little child who was not even taller than their own waist.
Brother Lu said before that the general came to Zhuangzi today to select personal guards for the young lady, so everyone worked hard to show their outstanding side during the training.
The little lady looked like a little person, but when she looked at the boy who was much older than herself, she didn't have any fear in her eyes.
The scrutinizing eyes looked at them from beginning to end, and it was revealed that they were covered in cold sweat.
She is indeed the young lady of the General's Mansion, her aura is exactly the same as that of the General!
General Xiao also observed the appearance of his little granddaughter. She really was not pretending to be an adult, but was actually carefully selecting the bodyguard she wanted.
This little adult appearance reminded the old general of Xiao Hongyan.
Su Qingtian is simply a replica of her daughter when she was a child. It seems that when she grows up, she will be as heroic as her daughter.
After looking around, Su Qingtian couldn't help but pout slightly to express her unhappiness.
These young men were very loyal to the Xiao family, but it was a pity that no one was destined to be with them.
If you have no destiny, you will eventually fall apart. If you forcefully arrange a bodyguard with no destiny by her side, this person will disappear from her side for some reason at any time and at any time.
The pretty little eyebrows wrinkled, and the tender little face became tangled.
what to do……?
She didn't want to just choose one, nor did she want to have to wait for her grandpa to be free every time she went out. It would be too uncomfortable.
