"Ouch, I forgot about Xiao Ling!"

Fang Youwei patted his forehead and quickly took it out of his trousers.

"I didn't crush you, did I?" I just hugged my uncle and cousin so much that I forgot about Xiao Ling's existence.

Xiao Ling stood on Fang Youwei's hand, stretched out her wings, twisted her body, and turned her head to look, "Wow! There are so many people!"

Its movements suddenly froze, and its head and body became twisted and frozen there.

It wasn't until Yang Chengyi coughed lightly that it woke up and flew to Fang Youwei's shoulder, patted his chest and said, "Oh my god, why are there so many people!"

Everyone looked at this little talking black bird in surprise.

Yang Chengyi was well-informed and recognized it at a glance as a myna, and the sound just now came from its mouth.

Thinking about the magical bird that my nephew mentioned before to help find the way in advance, it should be the bird he is talking about.

Sure enough, Fang Youwei introduced them: "Xiao Ling, this is my uncle's family, uncle and aunt, this is Xiao Ling. We had a safe journey along the way, thanks to Xiao Ling helping us explore the way.

Including this time on the way here, if Xiaoling hadn't been alert, I might have been bitten by a poisonous snake in the mountain.

Hearing this, Yang Chengyi looked at it curiously, and said with an amiable smile: "Your name is Xiaoling, right? I am Youwei's uncle, and this is my family. What kind of food do you want, Xiaoling? I'll let you know

My wife will do it for you."

Xiao Ling shook her head and said crisply: "It turns out to be my uncle. Hello, uncle, don't bother me. I will go look for food myself, so you don't have to worry about me."

"The little spirit speaks so clearly and logically." Yang Chengyi was even more surprised to see that it spoke so clearly and logically. He carefully reached out and touched the dull hair on its head.

Several women and two children also gathered around. Thirteen-year-old Yang Chengsi looked at Xiaoling with wide eyes. This was the first time he had seen a talking bird. He wanted to see the shape of its mouth.

It's different, how did that sound come out?

Ten-year-old Yang Jiaojiao was also curious, but she was timid, hiding behind her mother and peeking here secretly.

Seeing that everyone was staring at it, Xiao Ling got even more excited. She raised her head and said, "I can say anything, and I can also recite the snake-driving formula! Do you want to teach you? You won't be afraid of snakes when you go out in the future!"

When they heard this, the Yang brothers' eyes lit up. They knew very well that there were so many snakes in the south that they would encounter them at every turn.

It made them very careful when they went to cut down trees in the mountains.

How could they have less wood for making charcoal? However, the wood sold outside is generally in mature form, which is fine for making furniture, but the cost of making charcoal is high, and it is too wasteful.

Usually they cut down some thick branches, or trees that are crooked, cracked, and useless.

There are a lot of trees here. Just report to the town and pay a small amount of money to cut them down.

Brothers Yang Yunsheng and Yang Yuncheng kept talking to Xiao Ling about their experiences of being scared by snakes, and asked Xiao Ling if it was difficult to learn the snake repelling formula.

Xiao Ling shook her head, "It's easy, all the children in Fangjia Village know it."

At this time, Mrs. Wang said: "Let's eat first, and then we can have a good chat after eating later, otherwise the food will be cold.

Youwei has been working hard all the way, so let’s have something warm. Xiaoling, can you have some food? Or I’ll get you some millet?”

Most birds can eat millet, right? Just like chickens...

Xiao Ling shook her head, "No, I'm going to look for food and will be back in a while. You guys can eat, and I'll teach you the formula when I come back."

After saying that, he flapped his wings and flew away.

Seeing that Xiaoling disappeared in an instant, everyone gathered around the big round table and started eating lively.

Fang Youwei saw that his uncle's family was living well here, so he no longer worried.

Originally, he thought that if his uncle had a hard time here, he would take them back to Huayang County.

They are all there, taking care of each other.

But now it seems that this place is more suitable for them, and with uncle's ability, it will definitely get better and better in the future.

He originally thought that selling charcoal in the south would not be as good as the business in the north, but he did not expect to hear from his uncle that the business here was not bad either.

In the winter here, we rely entirely on charcoal pots for heating, unlike in the north where there are fire pits and fire walls.

Many people here use this for cooking in summer, which means they have business all year round and are more profitable than in the north.

Because he still wanted to visit Shaoyang in the county due to the news he had heard before, Fang Youwei did not intend to stay any longer and told his uncle that he would leave the next day.

Upon hearing this, Yang Chengyi objected repeatedly, "No, no, you have just arrived, and you have to stay for a few days before leaving. If you are worried about your family, I will ask your cousin to deliver the letter at the inn..."

Fang Youwei pulled his uncle aside and confessed to him in a low voice: "Uncle, I overheard the news in Cangyun County that the Yue and Hu people have united and are gathering forces.

The second son of the county governor I mentioned before, his maternal grandfather is the county governor of Jiayun County. If this is true, then it is a big deal, so I have to send the news over quickly."

When Yang Chengyi heard this, he immediately looked serious. After thinking about it, he said to his nephew: "In that case, my uncle will not stop you anymore. When the weather is not so hot in two months, my uncle will go visit your mother and the others."

Fang Youwei was also a little reluctant to leave. After all, they had not seen each other for more than a year. It was not easy to meet him, and he also wanted to talk more about his family ties.

At this time, Xiaoling flew back and said to them: "Oh, don't be like this. At worst, I will fly over every day to help you pass the message. It's only an hour away from me!"

Fang Youwei's eyes lit up after hearing this, yes! It took them a lot of time to go back and forth, but the little spirit flew over so fast!

But there was no need to come every day, so I said to my uncle, "Why don't we let Xiao Ling do the hard work on the first day of every month? We can write letters or oral messages, and we can communicate with each other if anything happens."

Looking at Yang Chengsi not far away, he thought for a while and then said: "How about you let Chengsi go back there with me, and I will teach him the sword skills. When he has learned enough, I will send him back."

Yang Chengyi waved to his grandson, waited for him to come over and said to him: "Chengsi, haven't you always wanted to learn some kung fu from your cousin? Your cousin wants to take you back to teach you sword skills, are you willing?"

Yang Chengsi's face was full of surprise and he nodded vigorously, "My grandson is willing! My grandson is willing! Cousin, I will study hard and won't be lazy!"

"Okay, as long as you say this, learning martial arts does not happen overnight, but as long as you are not afraid of hard work and practice diligently, you will definitely achieve something."
