That Demon Lord doesn't want to live

Yelan built a thick layer of cushions on the borrowed donkey, put two jackets on Xiao Xuemin, and wrapped a layer of long felt on his immobile right leg, and then put another blanket on his immobile right leg. The hand stove told him to hold him in his arms.Little Xue Min was wrapped up like a rice dumpling, unable to move.

Old man Liang carried the two of them on the donkey's back, and put a thick cloak on them, still worried, "I'd better go with you."

Ye Lan pulled the donkey's collar around the neck with one hand and put Xiao Xue Min's waist in the other hand and smiled at him, "No, I will follow Uncle Han and they won't get lost. If you are not in good health recently, don't follow us to suffer from the cold. "

Old man Liang has been sick more and more frequently since the beginning of winter, and he also suffered from coughing up blood. His hair, which was originally only gray, has turned white, and his face is full of sickness. He has to take a rest after walking a few steps.Although the weather is good today, it's not warm, and Ye Lan can't bear to ask him to go out with him to suffer from the cold.

Uncle Han is an honest farmer. He has been working in the fields all year round, and his skin is tanned. Hearing Ye Lan's words, he immediately walked over and patted Old Man Liang on the shoulder, "Don't worry, Doctor Liang. I'll take care of these two boys. Can’t lose it, make sure it’s safe and secure.”

Ye Lan also added, "Don't worry, I'll take Xiaoluotou to have a look, don't run around, and when I come back, I'll give you the chestnut crisps from Xianju."

Little Xue Min poked his head out of his cloak and smiled at old man Liang, "Don't worry, grandpa. I'll watch my brother and don't tell him to run around."

Ye Lan pressed his head back into the cloak and gritted his teeth to retort, "When did I run away?" Little Xue Min wanted to get out to speak, but Ye Lan firmly pressed him in the cloak.

The group of people looked at the two brothers and burst into laughter.The old man Liang also laughed out of his creases, and took out a money bag from his skirt and stuffed it to Yelan, "Buy more new year's goods, and the three of us will also have a good year."

Ye Lan put away the money bag, waved at old man Liang, and followed Uncle Han and his group to the imperial city.

Two days before New Year's Eve, the market was crowded with people. Uncle Han took Yelan and Xiao Xuemin off the donkey, pointed to Weixianju not far away, and said, "There are so many people today, don't make a mess." Run, go there and wait after you buy something, and you have to go back at Shen Shi at the latest, you know."

Ye Lan carried Xiao Xue Min on her back, nodded her head and said, "Uncle Han, don't worry, we won't run around, just take a look nearby."

Uncle Han touched the heads of Ye Lan and Xiao Xue Min, and led the donkey away.Yelan didn't dare to go too far with Xiao Xuemin on her back, so she bought some dried fruits and red lanterns at a nearby New Year's goods stall, went to Weixianju to buy a lot of snacks, and turned around and went into another place with someone on her back. The ready-to-wear shop, it is estimated that the Chinese New Year is coming, the clothes hanging in the shop are bright red and it looks festive.Yelan calculated that the money in her hand would be enough to buy a red coat for old man Liang and the little guy on his back.

Ye Lan put Xiao Xue Min on the stool in the store, pointed to a red gown embroidered with the word "Fu" and asked the clerk, "Brother, can my younger brother wear this?"

The clerk of the tailor shop had a naturally smiling face. Seeing that Yelan was a half-grown child, he immediately bent over and leaned in front of him. I'll take it down and show you."

Ye Lan nodded with a smile, and the boy took off the clothes with a bamboo pole and handed them to Ye Lan.Ye Lan reached out and touched the fabric, which was light and soft. He took the clothes and compared them to Xiao Xue Min. The fiery red color of Xue Min looked like a New Year's picture doll.

Ye Lan held up the clothes and asked him, "Does it look good?"

Xiao Xuemin nodded his head and smiled cutely, "It's pretty."

Ye Lan also nodded with a really good expression on my eyes, "Brother, I want a small one." Ye Lan then pointed to the old man who bought a lantern outside the door, "I want another one that is the same shape as that old man."

The store clerk responded with a smile, took two pieces from the warehouse and let Yelan inspect them, and then wrapped them up for him.Ye Lan paid the money, stuffed the clothes to Xiao Xue Min, and left behind her back.

There were many performers and jugglers in the market, and Ye Lan carried Xiao Xuemin on his back to find a high-rise platform and looked there for a while, and when he saw Uncle Han coming over, he walked over with his back on his back.

Seeing that both of them were safe and sound, Uncle Han took off the small bundle from Ye Lan's chest and hung it around the donkey's neck.

When he was about to leave the city gate, he happened to meet a group of city guards patrolling the city. Xiao Xuemin curled up and slipped into Yelan's arms. Yelan patted his head and whispered in his ear to comfort him for a while.

Not long after lunch, old man Liang sat on the stone pier at the entrance of Wenwen Medical Hall. The sun in the winter afternoon was also comfortable. He leaned against the wall with his shoulders hunched and fell asleep in a daze. There was a sound of bells, and when I opened my eyes, I saw Uncle Han walking over leading a donkey. Yelan and Xiao Xuemin on the donkey's back were very happy with their little faces flushed from the cold but grinning happily.

Old man Liang stood up against the wall and covered his mouth and coughed a few times. Uncle Han handed him the small bundle around the donkey's neck and said with a smile, "It's cold, Doctor Liang just go back to the room and wait."

Old man Liang took the burden, touched the cold faces of Yelan and Xiao Xuemin, "Come out to bask in the sun for a while, these two kids didn't make trouble."

Uncle Han smiled and waved his hands, "No, no, they are very obedient, you three should go into the house, I will send this donkey back to the old lady."

Ye Lan thanked her, and entered the house with Xiao Xue Min and Old Man Liang on her back.It will be New Year's Eve in two days, and the Wenyi hall has been cleaned up a lot, so old man Liang cleaned up the small pharmacy on the left and asked the two to stay there.

On New Year's Eve, Yelan got up early, put on a newly bought red gown for Xiao Xuemin, and forced old man Liang to wear the same one.

The old man Liang frowned, holding the clothes in his hands with a look of disgust, "Little bastard, look at which old man wears such a bright red one, look, this color is different from the red-haired pheasant you hunted two days ago ."

Ye Lan glanced at the clothes on Xiao Xue Min, and felt that the red ones were festive, not like a pheasant. He pointed to Xiao Xue Min on the stool, "This color is so good, festive, Grandpa Liang, your eyes are not good good."

The old man Liang compared the clothes in his hands to his face in a bad mood, "He wears them as cute little elves, and I wear them as old people-eating monsters. These clothes are also picky, do you understand?"

Ye Lan looked at it with her chin propped up for a while, then turned her head and asked Xiao Xue Min, "Is it any good?"

Xiao Xuemin nodded with a smile, "It looks good."

Old man Liang put away his clothes, touched little Xue Min's head and said with a smile, "You little baby's heart is about to crumble, you can say whatever he says."

Old man Liang put the red gown into the closet, and took the window grilles to boil the paste. Ye Lan took it out of the closet and held it in his hand, and followed him all morning, and old man Liang was tired of reading and drove people away. To chop dumpling stuffing.Ye Lan put the gown back very unwillingly, and chopped the chopping board with a knife. Little Xue Min was lying on the edge of the window sill of the main room, holding half a peeled carrot in his hand, while Ye Lan turned over When the stuffing was in between, I stretched out my arms to feed him a bite. Ye Lan was chewing on the radish in her mouth, and when she was happy, she touched his little face. There was still garlic juice in his hand, and the pungent smell suffocated the little guy. Tears flowed, old man Liang saw it, and chased Ye Lan with a half-bald broom to teach him a lesson all over the yard. Ye Lan relied on his flexibility to dodge left and right so that he didn't even touch a corner of his clothes. On the other hand, old man Liang was too tired to straighten up after chasing him for a while.Little Xue Min was lying by the window and watching the two chasing and laughing, her little body was trembling.

On New Year's Eve, old man Liang was sick and not in good spirits. He went back to his room to rest not long after the New Year's Eve dinner. Ye Lan took Xiao Xue Min to build two invisible snowmen in the yard, and then A few firecrackers were set off to suit the occasion.He didn't carry him back to sleep until the little guy started to doze off. As soon as Ye Lan put him on the bed, little Xue Min asked Ye Lan for his fat rabbit with half-opened eyes in a daze.

Ye Lan took out the rabbit from the cage in the corner and let him touch it, and Xiao Xue Min fell asleep contentedly.

The rabbits were caught by Ye Lan back then. Although Xiao Xue Min disliked them as bastards without long hair, he still took good care of them. Unfortunately, one of them died just after raising a small gray fur. Xiao Xue Min was very sad. After several days, he took care of the one left behind more meticulously, and sometimes he had to feed it four or five times a day, directly feeding the bastard into a meaty fat dumpling.

When it was almost midnight, there was a sound of crackling firecrackers in the village. Xiao Xue Minjue was so frightened that he almost jumped out of bed. When Ye Lan hugged him, he reflexively burrowed into Ye Lan's arms. He tightly grasped Ye Lan's skirt.

Ye Lan hugged him to the window, pointed at the night sky reddened by firecrackers outside the window, and comforted him in a slow voice, "It's okay, don't be afraid, it's just a few firecrackers."

Xiao Xuemin poked her head out of his embrace, and coyly argued for herself, "I'm not afraid, I just fell asleep."

Ye Lan poked at his little face without any scruples, "Well, fortunately, I didn't pee the bed in surprise, otherwise we would sleep on the floor tonight."

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Xue Min turned his head and lost his temper, he didn't have that problem.

Ye Lan squeezed his face into a steamed bun, "Yo, I've got a temper, let my brother see if this mouth can catch the oil gourd."

Xiao Xuemin raised his hand to break Yelan's finger, "I don't have one, my brother will bully me."

Ye Lan let go of his hand and rubbed his head again, "You are the one I picked up, and you belong to my family. If you tell me to bully you, you still have a disagreement."

With her messy hair on her head, Xiao Xue Min said dully, "No."

"It's about the same." Yelan held him in his arms and patted him on the shoulder. "Sleep, it's okay, my brother is here."

Xiao Xuemin put his head on Yelan's shoulder and rubbed it nostalgicly, then asked worriedly, "Has it always been there?"

Ye Lan patted his vest in a measured manner, "Well, it's been there all the time, go to sleep."

There was a snowstorm in the middle of the night. Old man Liang coughed for a long time when he got up in the morning, and his face was a little paler than usual.Yelan boiled soup and medicine for him, and after he drank the medicine and fell asleep, he carried Xiao Xuemin with some snacks and went door-to-door in the village to pay New Year's greetings.The village at the foot of this mountain was not big, with a total of about twenty households. Yelan walked with little Xue Min on his back for three days and finished.Old man Liang has become more and more lethargic these days, and Ye Lan is worried that he will not be able to calm down because of the trouble he has with the little guy, so he plans to go back to the hut for a few days.

The old man Liang coughed twice, touched Xiao Xue Min's head and glared at Ye Lan angrily, "Don't worry about it, I just stay in a daze. It's been cold these days, and your thatched hut has been deserted for a few days. Let the little baby follow you." You go back to the cold."

Yelan was so choked that he had nothing to say, and only added an extra piece of Coptis chinensis to him when making the soup.Old man Liang snorted when he saw it, and boiled a pot of thick ginger soup in the evening, squeezed Ye Lan and Xiao Xue Min's noses and poured it down.
