When I told Qinghan the story I heard from Mr. Hu, the carriage stopped at the gate of the station, but he did not go down immediately, but sat in his seat, frowned and thought about something.

I said softly: "Qinghan, what did you think of?"

He looked up at me and said, "It's the same as you think."

“…”

I also fell silent for a moment.

In fact, from the beginning of telling him that story, an idea gradually began to emerge from my heart. The further I talked about the story, the more I remembered what I looked like when I first met that young man, and some things became clearer.

I said, "Will it be true, he-"

Qinghan raised his hand to stop me from continuing and said, "What's going on in this matter? Don't act rashly before you don't know the truth. If it's just his own private matter, then you don't need to worry about it. We will be in vain in the past two days."

As he said, he lifted the curtain and prepared to get off the car. I saw his face pale, and his hands that stretched out were trembling slightly. He hurried over to help him. After the two of them got off the carriage, I helped him walk in and said softly: "I don't think we've been in vain for the past two days. Have you forgotten that although this matter was his private matter, it was not him who got the armor in the end."

“…”

Qinghan didn't say anything. I wonder if it was because he walked into the shade, his eyes sank slightly.

Someone else stole the armor.

I thought for a while and said hesitantly: "Qinghan, would you say the person who steals the armor be the one--"

"mother!"

Before I could finish my words, a crisp sound with resentment came from above my head. When I looked up, I saw Miaoyan standing in the corridor on the second floor, looking at us with a pout.

As soon as he saw him, Qinghan subconsciously hit me with his elbow, and then left me a step. I didn't say anything, just looked up at her: "Miaoyan."

"Why did you come back?"

“…”

"I've been waiting for you for a long time."

“…”

"where have you been?"

Although the words were spoken to the two of us, I was the only one in the words. I looked at Qinghan slowly going to the other stairs and went back to my room. I sighed lightly in my heart, and soon went up to the second floor. She immediately walked over and grabbed my sleeve: "Do you leave me alone?"

I smiled bitterly: "You are so old, can't you even leave your mother at all? I'm just going out to do something."

Although I was teasing her, she really refused to leave me. She grabbed my sleeve and pulled me back to her room, and then asked, "What are you going to do? What do you have to do with two people?"

I looked at her resentful expression that was still angry and still had anger. After thinking about it, I sat at the table, took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat and said, "Oh, it's just a trivial matter. Mr. Hu's son was caught by the creditor of the casino and wanted to chop off his hands."

"ah?"

Miaoyan was shocked: "His hand was cut off?"

"When my third uncle and I went there, there was no one. Those people wanted him to pay back the money, and your third uncle agreed to help him pay it back."

"Then, are you going to send money?"

"Um."

"Has the person been saved?"

"While we were talking to the casino boss, Dad Hu and Aunt Hu ran over again."

"What are they doing?"

"What are you here to protect your son?"

Miaoyan was stunned for a moment: "Didn't Dad Hu - don't you hate his son the most?"

I laughed: "It's annoying, but that's his own flesh and blood. No matter how annoying he is, can he still watch his hand be chopped off?"

“…”

"I'm just a pity Aunt Hu, dragging her sick body to the casino and crying and begging the boss, and kowtowed repeatedly. The people in the casino were all fierce and murderous without blinking."

Miaoyan's face turned pale: "Then, how are they?"

I glanced at her, and then said, "Your third uncle has come back and asked me for the money. I gave all the money to the boss, and saved the lives of the three of them."

Miaoyan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

But the next moment, she seemed to remember something and turned to look at me: "San——him, Uncle San’s money is here with you?"

"Yes, he gave it to me and left all his belongings to me for custody."

“…”

This was not a thrilling thing, but Miaoyan's face turned paler than before.

I sighed, stroked her cheeks with a chilling chill, and said softly: "Miaoyan, you are already old. You should know that many things in this world cannot be like you did when you were a child. When you cry and make trouble, you will listen to you. Just like this time, no matter what, your father still wants to look for Concubine Nangong. And the matter between me and your third uncle - if you can accept it calmly, the happiness is definitely not the mother alone."

“…”

She bit her lower lip, as if she was biting her last persistence, her eyes fixedly watching the floor under her feet without any floor and she didn't say anything for a long time.

I sighed, and then said softly: "Think about it slowly yourself."

After saying that, she touched her hair and was about to get up and leave, but as soon as I walked to the door, she said behind her, "Mom, can I go and see Dad Hu and the others?"

I looked back at her in a little surprised: "You want to see them?"

"Well, I, I want to visit them."

“…”

I thought about it and said with a smile, "It's OK. But now the sun is poisonous. I'll take you out after a while when the sun sets, so as not to get heatstroke."

She nodded: "Yeah."

After I left her room, I saw that the door of Qinghan room on the other side was also closed. Obviously, the whole day of fatigue had exhausted his strength, and he also needed to rest. At this time, I felt a sudden feeling of fatigue, so I went back to the room and lay down.

Although I was physically tired, my mind was still very lively.

To be honest, I haven't been gambling for a long time.

Last time, just like this time, there were many eyes around me looking at it. The bet on the gambling table seemed to be something on the surface, but the one behind the bet was a life!

It’s just that kind of desperate feeling is different, I hope I won’t have it anymore.

I closed my eyes hard, as if I wanted to drive away the memories that had been following my years of ghosts from behind, and another thought popped up in my mind again.

Who stole that armor?
