Chapter 281 Mission 026
Xiao Ying thought the original owner's wish was good, just right for traveling around the world to experience the world and train his mind.
So he began to have fun everywhere, acting very lively and active. Father Chen didn't think it was strange, because his eldest son was playful, which was normal.
But later, Father Chen was surprised to find that his son seemed to have opened his mind and started to study seriously. In the past, he would get a headache and want to go out to play after reading, and he couldn't change it no matter how he scolded him. With the two elders protecting him, he was even more unwilling to study.
Father Chen looked at his son's neat and tidy homework in his hand, and asked Xiao Ying curiously: "Did you really do it? Didn't you ask the book boy to do it for you?" Although he could tell at a glance that the childish handwriting was really his son's, he was still very surprised.
Xiao Ying pouted and said unhappily: "Of course I wrote it myself! I thought that after I finished my homework, Dad, you would let me go out to play for a while!"
Father Chen was relieved when he heard the second half of the sentence. He said, how could a playful son study seriously for no reason? It must be to play!
However, Chen's father was very supportive of his son's behavior of playing after finishing his homework. He specially praised his son and doubled his pocket money.
Watching his eldest son run out happily, Chen's father smiled helplessly and shook his head.
Chen Shaohua is still young now, and the Chen family does not allow him to run out of the house at all, so he can only have fun in Anbo's house. Anyway, he climbed trees, robbed bird nests, and frightened little maids with insects. He did all the naughty things that a naughty child would do.
Xiao Ying was lying on the wall of the inner courtyard. He had just jumped over from the big tree near the wall of the inner courtyard.
He looked into the inner courtyard and saw a little kid of four or five years old reading seriously. He stared at him.
The little kid suddenly looked up at the wall and found that the person lying on the wall was his big brother who was loved by everyone. He pursed his lips and walked to the wall obediently to greet his big brother.
Mother said that he had to be well-behaved and polite to please his father.
Xiao Ying looked at the male protagonist who was only five years old, and jumped off the wall and left in boredom.
He was only responsible for living the original owner's life well and experiencing the prosperity of the world. As for the existence of the male and female protagonists, he no longer needed to care.
So he grew up like a real eight-year-old child, running and jumping around.
In order to successfully get the permission of the elders of the Chen family to leave Anbo Mansion and travel around the world when he grew up, he did not give up learning literature and martial arts.
Although he was still as playful as the original owner, no one said that he was unlearned.
When he was eighteen years old, he passed the imperial examination and Anbo Mansion celebrated with a big banquet. Xiao Ying asked Chen's father to study abroad.
It was common for students to study abroad, and Chen's father did not care and agreed easily.
Xiao Ying planned to travel around the world instead of studying abroad for a year or two and then come back, so he took the imperial examination, because it was convenient for him to travel around with his reputation.
In this way, Xiao Ying was sent to the carriage by Chen's father, with his luggage and other things on the carriage, and there were coachmen and servants to serve him.
But before Chen's father sent his son back to the house, he saw the carriage coming back again. He was surprised that his son had forgotten to bring something or wanted to say a few more words to his dear father, but he saw that the coachman and the servant had brought back an empty carriage and a letter with sad faces.
"Master, the eldest young master disappeared in a few seconds. We chased him desperately but couldn't catch up, so we had to come back."
Father Chen opened the envelope and saw: "Dad, my son will go out to play for a few years and then come back. There is no rush to marry a wife. If you are in a hurry to hold a grandson, ask your second brother to give you one first! And you can take care of grandpa and grandma!"
Father Chen was so angry that he almost jumped up, this unfilial son!
But Chen's father was not too worried. After all, the Chen family was a noble family that rose to prominence through military merit. The old man passed on all the kung fu he learned on the battlefield to Shaohua. Now it was a peaceful and prosperous era, and it was still safe for a person to go out with kung fu.

Xiao Ying rode a small donkey, holding a long branch in his hand, with a carrot hanging from the front of the branch in front of the donkey.
However, his donkey, which according to its former owner ran fast and worked as hard as a horse, still walked slowly and leisurely, and was not tempted by the carrot in front of it.
Xiao Ying looked at it and sighed, then sang: "I have a small donkey, and I never ride it. One day I rode it to..."
Alas, I really shouldn't have forgotten to bring my luggage in order to get rid of the coachman and the book boy, and ended up forgetting the silver note given by Chen's father in the suitcase. I only had a bag of silver left, and I didn't even have the money to buy a horse. I could only ride this lazy donkey to travel!
Xiao Ying rode his donkey on the forest trail, wondering when bandits would come to rob him so that he could rob the bandits and help himself.
"Roar——" Instead of the bandits, a tiger came.
When Xiao Ying was looking at the tiger, the donkey under his butt suddenly threw him off, then ran away quickly and disappeared at the end of the trail, leaving Xiao Ying alone to face the tiger.
Xiao Ying held the branch in his hand to hang the carrot, staring blankly at the direction where the donkey disappeared. It turned out that the seller did not lie to him. The speed of this donkey was really no worse than that of a horse...
Just when he was thinking about how to find the donkey, a gust of wind accompanied by a tiger's roar came over. Xiao Ying casually used a branch to hit the tiger, whose mouth was wider than his own, and rolled back. The carrot hanging on the branch with an ordinary thin vine was still hanging there intact.
Xiao Ying's eyes fell on the tiger and he walked over with a smile: "How could I forget you..."
Then he slapped the tiger who wanted to pounce on him to get back the place, and then grabbed the tiger's tail that wanted to escape and threw it over his shoulder. Then he calmly put the trembling tiger in position and rode on it himself.
Xiao Ying threw the carrot hanging on the branch in front of the tiger and kicked the tiger's belly with his foot: "Let's go!"
Then he ran away and rode a big tiger to find the little donkey.
Although Xiao Ying traveled through time and space to become an ordinary person in this ordinary ancient society, which limited his strength, he still had the ability to deal with a tiger, and he easily subdued the tiger.
In fact, animals are more sensitive than humans. The slightest breath of Xiao Ying when he took action made the tiger tremble and dare not resist.
<<<<<<<<<
Xiao Ying hung a carrot on a branch in front of the tiger's eyes, and sat on the tiger's back. This eye-popping combination made the woodcutters or herbalists in the mountains seem to see some monsters, and they ran away in fear.
Xiao Ying glanced at the group of cowards and didn't take it seriously, but he also knew that riding a tiger into the city was not okay, so after he found his donkey, he released the tiger back to the forest and rode his donkey into the city.
He was leisurely along the way. Although he didn't have much money, it was still very easy for a scholar to make some money, not to mention that he often visited the natural scenery in the mountains, which was very cheap.
However, when Xiao Yan came to the prosperous and beautiful Jiangnan, he found that he was short of money. Jiangnan was too prosperous, and the people in Jiangnan were too good at enjoying themselves. The Jiangnan delicacies alone made him, who had always lived in the capital, eat out of his pocket.
However, after he made money for himself with calligraphy, painting and poetry, he became famous as a talented scholar in Jiangnan, and then some people deliberately made friends with him.
Of course, Xiao Yan could see that these people deliberately made friends with him because they thought that his behavior and dress were not like those of ordinary scholars, but it was also quite normal. Whether they valued his talent or his background, it was because he himself made people feel profitable. Making friends is originally an exchange of interests at the beginning. In the end, whether it is a true friendship or a drinking buddy depends on whether each other's nature is similar.
He was invited by this group of so-called romantic and talented friends who took the initiative to make friends to go boating, drink and participate in poetry clubs, and even go to brothels to support famous prostitutes and courtesans.
These experiences that Xiao Ying had never experienced before made him very interested, especially in this era that values literary talent. Those famous prostitutes and courtesans are proficient in several talents and are very famous. They have good relationships with talented men. Often, famous prostitutes invite talented men to eat, drink and have fun for free in order to make themselves famous through poetry.
After Xiao Ying became famous, he was also treated as a guest of honor by the famous prostitutes. He knew all these methods well. Isn't it just hype? It's just that these famous prostitutes rely on the poems and verses of talented men to hype their fame, which is also a good way.
If a famous prostitute is lucky enough to be inspired by a talented man to write a famous poem that will be passed down through the ages, then she will instantly become famous all over the country, and her value will rise to an astonishing level, and she will be able to be passed down with the poem in the future.
However, Xiao Ying just chatted and laughed with the famous prostitutes, and did not indulge in them. He soon left the gentle land of Jiangnan and headed for the next travel destination.
Next, he planned to go to the border desert.
The desert is filled with smoke, and the long river is filled with setting sun.
The desert scenery described in this poem is so attractive that Xiao Ying suddenly wants to go and see it.
But after arriving at Queyu Pass, the border, he no longer has the heart to appreciate the so-called desert scenery.
Because he came at the right time, he encountered the scene of the desert aliens coming to burn, kill and loot.
The aliens living in the desert are actually not a big deal. The total number is only a few hundred thousand, not as many as the soldiers of Queyu Pass. But they dare to rob the people at the border repeatedly, and they are so cruel that they even use the people at the border as food reserves, because they rely on their understanding of the desert terrain and the army to fight guerrilla warfare.
