After picking up his sister, Brother Jin gave her his life

Chapter 349 Fighting Landlords

Ming Nanjin left the main hall, regardless of what the three of them were saying inside.

He walked hurriedly, and the stone pavement under his feet made a crisp sound, as if telling of his anxious mood.

Walking through the long corridor, the murals on both sides of the corridor appear to be looming in the interweaving of light and shadow.

Coming to the backyard of the Bei Ming family’s old house, the backyard is like a peaceful paradise.

In the backyard, the sun shines through the gaps in the leaves, forming patches of light that look like golden fish scales dancing on the ground. The breeze blows gently, and the leaves rustle, as if playing a gentle melody.

Xiao Chengcheng's clear laughter echoed in the air. The laughter was as clear and sweet as a silver bell, breaking the tranquility of the backyard.

The corners of Ming Nanjin's mouth lifted unconsciously. It was a warm smile from the heart. But when he saw the scene in front of him clearly, his brows frowned slightly, and a hint of surprise and helplessness flashed in his eyes.

He walked over quickly, his steps a little messy because of his anxiety. He wanted to see what Xiao Chengcheng and the second and third ancestors were playing.

Unexpectedly, when he looked over, he saw that they were actually teaching Xiao Chengcheng how to play Landlord. The scene in front of him made him feel a little amused. The small stone table was filled with playing cards, and several people were sitting around it, looking focused and engaged.

Ming Nanjin felt like his head was about to explode. He sighed helplessly, and that sigh was filled with helplessness towards his elders and concern for his sister.

"Second Ancestor, Third Ancestor, how do you teach Xiao Chengcheng to play this?"

Ming Nanjin's tone was filled with a hint of anger, but more of helplessness. His voice echoed in the air, carrying a hint of dissatisfaction.

The Second Ancestor laughed, and the wrinkles on his face became deeper, like ravines of time.

"What's the big deal? Children need to have some fun too."

His voice was bright and loud, and his eyes were full of kindness and indulgence.

The Third Ancestor also nodded, as if it was a matter of course: "That's right, didn't we get here this way when we were little?"

His eyes were always on Xiao Chengcheng, full of love.

When Little Chengcheng saw his brother coming, he waved the cards in his hand excitedly. His little hands held the cards tightly, as if he was holding the most precious treasure in the world.

"Ge Ge, come and play with us!"

Her voice was full of anticipation and joy, and her eyes were shining with excitement.

Ming Nanjin looked at his sister's innocent smile, and the dissatisfaction in his heart immediately dissipated a lot. That smile was like a spring breeze, warm and soft, which melted his heart instantly.

He squatted down and gently touched Xiao Chengcheng's head, his movements so gentle as if he was touching a fragile treasure.

"Chengcheng, this is not fun. Let's try something else."

His voice was gentle and full of patience as he tried to persuade Xiao Chengcheng to give up playing Landlord.

Little Chengcheng pouted his little mouth with an unwilling look, his pink little mouth pouting high like a cute little trumpet.

"Ge Ge, I think it's fun, I've learned it all!"

There was a hint of stubbornness and persistence in her voice, and her little hands held the cards tightly, refusing to let go.

Ming Nanjin shook his head helplessly, his eyes full of pampering and helplessness. He looked at the two ancestors with a hint of complaint in his eyes: "You two are really something, can't you teach me something else?"

Although his tone was reproachful, it was more helpless and kind.

The Second Patriarch smiled and said, "This can exercise your brain, so don't be too nervous." His smile was kind and gentle, and his eyes sparkled with wisdom.

Ming Nanjin stood up and folded his hands across his chest, looking somewhat helpless and stubborn.

"That's not the way to train your brain."

There was a hint of stubbornness in his voice, and he looked at the second and third elders with a firm gaze.

At this time, a breeze blew, and the leaves rustled, as if echoing Ming Nanjin's words. The wind brushed the corners of his clothes, bringing a hint of coolness.

The third elder of the clan said, "Nan Jin, don't be too serious. As long as the child is happy, that's all." His voice was gentle and generous, full of understanding and tolerance for children.

Ming Nanjin was silent for a moment, then looked at Xiao Chengcheng again, only to see that she was looking at him expectantly, her eyes full of desire and dependence.

His heart softened instantly, as if all his persistence had vanished at this moment.

"Okay, then we can only play for a while." Ming Nanjin compromised, with a hint of helplessness and pampering in his voice.

Xiao Chengcheng clapped her hands happily until they turned red. "Great! Ge Ge is playing with us too." Her laughter rang out again, filling the entire backyard.

So, several people sat together and continued this special game of Landlord. When Xiao Xiong saw Ming Nanjin coming, he also closed his mouth and gave the two siblings some time to spend alone together.

While Ming Nanjin was playing cards, he kept an eye on Xiao Chengcheng, fearing that she would be too absorbed in the game.

His eyes never left Xiao Chengcheng, and he was always ready to provide help and guidance whenever she needed it.

Little Chengcheng was very serious. She would think for a long time before playing each card. Her frowning face was very cute. Her little head kept turning as she tried to think of the best strategy for playing the cards.

"Chengcheng, you can't play this card like this." Ming Nanjin couldn't help but remind her, her voice gentle and patient.

Xiao Chengcheng blinked, her eyes full of doubt and persistence. "Ge Ge, I think this is okay." There was a hint of stubbornness in her voice, and her little hands tightly held the cards.

The second and third ancestors watched from the side, and were often amused by Xiao Chengcheng's innocent words. Their laughter was hearty and cheerful, adding more joy to the game.

Time passed quietly amid laughter and joy; the sunlight gradually became softer, covering the backyard with a layer of golden gauze.

Ming Nanjin looked at Xiao Chengcheng's rosy face, her heart full of doting. That face became rosy because of excitement and devotion, like a ripe apple, making people want to kiss it.

"Okay, let's stop here today. We can't play anymore." Ming Nanjin said, his voice firm and gentle, leaving no room for doubt.

Little Chengcheng still felt a little unsatisfied, and pouted her lips slightly, but nodded obediently. Although there was reluctance in her eyes, she still obeyed her brother's words.

Ming Nanjin took Xiao Chengcheng's hand. The hand was small and soft, and it felt especially warm in his hand. "Come on, brother will take you to eat something delicious." His voice was full of temptation and care.

When Xiao Chengcheng heard that there was something delicious, she immediately became excited and followed Ming Nanjin away with a hop and skip. Her steps were brisk and cheerful, like a happy little bird.

The second and third ancestors were left watching their backs, with gratified smiles on their faces. The smiles were full of love and blessings for the brother and sister. Their figures gradually went away in the afterglow of the sunset, forming a warm and beautiful picture.
