Longjia Village.

Xiao An and He's father discussed staying at Uncle Long's house for a day and waiting for He's father's leg injury to recover a little before leaving.

Anyway, after Uncle Long got the jar of soju, he went back to his room to drink it alone. He got so drunk that he couldn't wake up even if he didn't sleep for a whole day. The four of them felt comfortable in Uncle Long's place.

At dawn the next day, Xiao Anbian quietly left Uncle Long's house with the three members of the He family.

Before leaving, Father He forgot about the small farmyard where he stayed and the house where Uncle Long's snoring came from. "If I can survive this storm safely, I will come back and say thank you to this Uncle Long."

"

Mother He nodded meekly, "Okay, I'll come back with you to say thank you. Right now, it's better to hurry on."

Xiao An carried He's father on his back, He Lian'er supported He's mother, and the four of them hurried to Qingyang Town, where Longjia Village is located.

"After arriving in Qingyang Town, we will first find an inn to stay, and then I will go to the Baochang's house in Qingyang Town."

When he saw the town's tall city wall finally revealed in front of him, Xiao An turned his head and said to everyone.

After running around for the past few days and nights, everyone was so nervous that they didn't dare to fall asleep at Uncle Long's house last night. Except for Father He who was seriously injured and couldn't bear it and fell asleep, the other three people basically fell asleep intermittently.

While taking a nap, I was immediately awakened by the slightest movement outside the house.

"When we get to the inn, my aunt and sister Lian'er can have a solid sleep." Xiao An added.

He Lian'er smiled shyly at him. Her pretty face was flushed and her eyes were watery. She didn't know whether it was because of the rush or the excitement and anticipation of being able to have a good night's sleep.

As pretty as a peach.

Although He's mother also looked forward to a good night's sleep, the words that He's father said when he woke up last night were a sword hanging over her head.

"Hey, if the Wang family's matter is not resolved for a day, I won't be able to sleep peacefully. It's obviously them who committed the murders and set fires, but why do we feel like fugitives? I can't feel safe wherever I go, for fear of meeting a living person.

.”

"Mom, don't think so much. Didn't Brother Xiaoan say that no matter how arrogant Wang Ba is, he will only be in Tianba Village and the town above. When he goes outside, his hands are not that long, even if he will continue to look for us.

,Can’t we report it to the official?”

"Sister Lian'er is right. Don't worry, aunt. As long as we get out of that area and return to Qing'an County, I will naturally have a way to handle this matter so that the Wang family will not dare to trouble you again!"

The He family's mother and daughter looked at each other, Xiao An's confidence infected them, and they all knew Xiao An's abilities.

He himself is an excellent person. He works as an instructor in the military department of Qing'an County and eats official meals.

Secondly, he has a backer in his family. His brother is the number one scholar and is now working for the emperor in the Hanlin Academy in the capital. His sister is one of the few big businessmen in Daqi. As for his brother-in-law, that's even worse.

"Brother Xiao An, as long as you are here, I am not afraid at all!" He Lian'er blurted out the words in her heart.

After he finished speaking, he felt that what he said seemed a bit outrageous, so he blushed and quickly changed his words, "My parents are not afraid either, and our whole family is not afraid either."

Mother He's eyes lingered on her daughter's face for a moment longer, and she agreed: "Lian'er is right, we are not afraid anymore."

Fortunately, Xiao An didn't have any other thoughts about He Lian'er's previous words. He nodded with a smile, "That's good. As long as I'm here, our family will live in peace and harmony!"

'We are a family...'

He Lian'er carefully savored Xiao An's frank words, but she felt a strange feeling in her heart. She couldn't express that feeling to others. Even compared to Xiao An's frankness, her feeling was a bit shameful.

, which somewhat blasphemed Brother Xiao An's magnanimity, and even contained some greed and wishful thinking, which made her a little ashamed, but she was also vaguely looking forward to it, so much so that she couldn't help but worry about gains and losses, and was silently melancholy.

Alas, she couldn't explain exactly how she felt. It was more important to escape for her life right now and stop thinking about messy things.

The four of them entered Qingyang Town, and Xiao An found an inn and opened two guest rooms next to each other to accommodate the He family.

Xiao An and He's father live in the same room, and He's mother and He Lian'er live in the same room, so it's easy to take care of them.

"I asked the waiter to prepare hot water and food, and they will be delivered in half an hour."

After Xiao An laid Father He down on the soft bed, he turned around and said to them behind him.

"You guys eat first later. I want to go out and find the security chief of Qingyang Town."

Naturally, he was looking for protection to seek refuge. After all, Qingyang Town was a neighboring town to Qingniu Town, where Wang Ba was located.

It seemed like a lot of trouble for the four of them to get around from the alley, but if Wang Ba chased them from the official road in a carriage, they would have to make the journey for an hour.

So we first went to Qingniu Town to find the security chief to explain the situation, and used the power of the security chief of Qingniu Town to protect the four of us first, and then asked a local doctor who could set bones to treat He's father's leg.

After finishing the work, we spent a day repairing in Qingniu Town, then hired a carriage to go back directly to Qing'an County.

As long as you return to Qing'an County, you will be safe.

"Brother Xiao An, don't you want to go out after dinner?" He Lian'er asked softly.

Xiao An shook his head: "I'm not hungry, you guys eat."

The matter was not resolved, and he had no intention of sitting down to eat. He swore in front of Qingsong's soul that as long as he lived, he would take care of his parents and sister on Qingsong's behalf and not let anything happen to them.

Because of his poor thinking, Uncle He had been pushed to the ground and beaten violently by the Wang family and his son, and one of his legs was almost destroyed... He couldn't make any more mistakes in the rest of the trip.

"Brother Xiao An, why don't you have something to eat before you go? You drank the porridge last night. You've traveled such a long way this morning. You'll be starving if you don't eat anything." He Lian'er chased him to the door of the guest room.

Go to the corner of the stairs.

Xiao An turned around and grinned at her, and stretched out his hand to rub her head: "Don't worry, your brother Xiao An, I didn't starve to death for five or six days without eating a grain of rice... You stay and take good care of your parents, I'll go

Just go and come back!"

Watching his tall and straight back disappear at the top of the stairs, and finally merged into the noisy lobby downstairs.

He Lian'er was lying on the wooden fence painted with tung oil on the second floor, leaning over and watching his figure pass through the lobby downstairs and go straight to the door of the inn. The men and women who passed by him seemed to be like

With no background, his tall and straight figure is so conspicuous in the crowd that people can find him at a glance.

"Lian'er, come back, the waiter just brought hot water."

She didn't know how long she stood here, but it wasn't until He's mother's voice rang in her ears that she turned around.
