Chapter: 5755
Ye Chen nodded lightly: "Alright, thank you."
When Wu Feiyan's plane landed at Melbourne, Ye Chen and Lin Wan'er were on a flight from Jinling Airport to Li Jiang, over a thousand kilometers away.
The plane took off and flew westward during this time. Lin Wan'er was completely without her previous liveliness and playfulness.
She leaned against Ye Chen's shoulder for a bit before gazing out the window with her eyes seemingly unfocused, staring straight ahead.
Ye Chen could sense her unease and was extremely understanding of her current state.
In reality, there's no one more suitable for this phrase "θΏιζ
ζ―" (Homesickness) than her at present.
A little girl who left home over three hundred years ago has finally set foot on the road back home. Who would not feel a sense of nostalgia and longing in their heart?
Two hours later, the plane landed at Li Jiang Airport.
When getting off the plane, Lin Wan'er's legs had become somewhat soft without her realizing it.
As she leaned against Ye Chen's shoulder, Ye Chen could clearly sense that she was putting a lot of weight on his body, probably due to lack of physical strength.
So he took the initiative to stretch out his hand and wrapped Lin Wan'er in it, accompanying her all the way out of the airport.
Outside the airport, Ye Chen used the fake identity prepared by Chan Zekai to rent an SUV. He then removed the car's black box and drove away with Lin Wan'er straight to Dali County.
After driving away from the airport, Ye Chen asked Lin Wan'er beside him: "Have you ever been to Li Jiang before?"
"I have." Lin Wan'er said, "My mother passed away after that, my father sent me to live at my uncle's and aunt's house in Dali. I was with my granny once when we came here, but it was only the first time."
As she spoke, Lin Wan'er sighed: "Three hundred years ago, the southern part of Xishuangbanna was a mountainous area with many small paths, making it difficult to travel. Coming to Li Jiang already counts as going out far."
Ye Chen couldn't help but ask her: "Isn't it said to be a good exchange of titles? Why did you go back on your word again?"
Lin Wan'er spoke softly: "I'm going back to Xishuangbanna, and I feel like I've returned to the days when I was staying at my grandparents' house... "
As she spoke, she added: "In the car, it's just Master and myself, so I'm still used to talking with Master this way."
Ye Chen nodded slightly and asked again: "You didn't take the elixir of longevity for thousands of years, and you've been living with your grandparents all along?"
Lin Wan'er said: "My grandfather left early on, and later relied on my grandmother's life. Fortunately, my grandfather was one of the many soil chiefs in Xishuangbanna from old, and our family was relatively wealthy. So I grew up in Xishuangbanna with a relatively comfortable life, and before my grandfather passed away, he also taught me to read and write, and I learned some knowledge and morals."
As she spoke, Lin Wan'er gazed out the window, saying with unparalleled emotion: "My grandfather had five children, excluding my mother who died of illness. The remaining four all lost their lives in the process of resisting the Qing dynasty. Later, Wu Sangui's bloodbath of rebels resulted in the demise of all four brothers' descendants. My family was wiped out, leaving no one behind."
Every time Ye Chen mentions Wu Sangui, Lin Wan'er can't help but seethe with anger.
When talking about the four brothers and their descendants perishing without exception, Lin Wan'er is overcome with tears.
