Chapter 1851: Chapter 1831: Lin Yan Story Part 15_1 Chapter 1851: Chapter 1831: Lin Yan Story Part 15_1 “Second Brother, get up, you lazybones.”

Ye Ziyan giggled and stretched her short legs, gently kicking him in the bed.

“Well, little Ziyan, you dare to kick your second brother.”

Ye Zimo pretended to be annoyed, crawling out of bed and pouncing on his sister, tickling her.

“Hee hee, haha.”

Tickled by him, Ye Ziyan rolled in the bed, nearly out of breath from laughter.

“Stop messing around, get up.”

Ye Zilin smilingly pulled up his brother and picked up his sister, helping her get dressed.

“Get up.”

Ye Zimo stopped fooling around, bouncing out of bed and jumping to the ground barefoot.

“Put on your clothes first, don’t catch a cold.”

Ye Zilin threw the clothes at him, feeling a tinge of bitterness as the eldest sibling.

Taking care of his younger brother and sister on this long journey, acting as both a father and mother, being their big brother was indeed not easy.

“Brother, have some candy.”

Ye Ziyan smiled and took out a piece of milk candy from her cotton coat pocket, putting it in his mouth.

“Ziyan is so well-behaved.”

Ye Zilin held the milk candy between his teeth, picked up his adorable sister, and instantly felt content.

Fortunately, Ziyan was especially well-behaved and sensible, making all the hardships worth it.

After washing up, the three siblings had breakfast at the inn and, carrying their bags, went to the only armed escort agency in town.

A pair of horse-drawn carriages were ready, and the Head Escort, seeing Ye Zilin, waved to him.

The remaining armed escorts glanced at the little girl in his arms and wore surprised expressions.

“Zilin, isn’t your sister a little too young?”

“Can you take her with you at such a young age?”

“You’re going to Crimson Dawn Mountain to learn martial arts?”

“Crimson Dawn Mountain won’t accept such young children. They won’t even be able to enter the mountain gate.”

Ye Zilin coldly ignored them and walked directly to the Head Escort with his brother and sister.

“You didn’t make it clear when you paid the road fees yesterday. If this little girl gets sick on the road, the caravan won’t be responsible for treatment.”

Seeing him come over, the Head Escort’s face darkened, not looking very happy.

“We brought our own medicine, we won’t hold you back.”

Before Ye Zilin could speak, Ye Zimo felt offended and retorted.

“Will you eat on your own on the road, or join us for meals?”

The Head Escort glanced dismissively at the small figure who was scarcely waist-high to him.

“We’ll join.”

Ye Zilin replied succinctly.

“If you join, you have to pay for meals. It takes at least half a month to reach Crimson Dawn Mountain.”

The Head Escort’s mental calculations were quick: “We won’t charge for the little girl, as she won’t eat much. But you two half-grown lads must be growing and must eat more than adults. You can’t pay even one copper coin less for meals.”

“How much?”

Ye Zilin frowned, patiently listening to the Head Escort’s nonsense.

“You two brothers, fifty copper coins a day, seven hundred and fifty for half a month.”

The Head Escort took advantage of the siblings’ youth and squeezed out a bit more money.

“Here you go.”

Ye Zilin took out a piece of broken silver from his pocket, tossing it to the Head Escort; the disdain in his eyes was obvious.

The Head Escort shamelessly pocketed the silver without giving any change: “We’ll also supply drinking water on the road. Count the rest as water money.”

Ye Zilin’s eyes widened, just about to explode when Ye Zimo grabbed his hands and shook his head.

“Big brother, when traveling, just bear with it and don’t cause trouble.”

He deliberately spoke loudly, so that everyone in the caravan could hear and think of them as timid and cowardly.
