Xia Lan didn't know if the decision to take Joanna's mother and daughter away was the right one, she didn't think it through, she didn't think it reason, it was like the impulse of emotion to dominate the whim, which was completely different from his original way of acting.

He hates cumbersomeness, he hates trouble.

Now he has chosen to be cumbersome and troublesome.

He once thought he had given up all emotion, and it was only now that he realized he was wrong.

It turns out that the emotion has not been extinguished, but it is deeply suppressed in the depths of his heart, and when there is a loophole in his heart, the emotion has quietly penetrated out and affected his thinking.

Faced with Joanna's expectant eyes, he suddenly found himself unable to refuse with the same hard heart as before.

He hesitated.

Because he didn't want to see Joanna's gloom and loss, and he didn't want to imagine Nina's sadness and weeping when he parted.

So, he agreed to Joanna's request.

He was confused, he didn't know if his change was good or bad.

When a person loses the belief in survival, life will also degenerate into mediocrity and meaninglessness.

In Xia Lan's discouraged choice to give up everything, many things will inevitably make waves.

If Xia Lan was alone, he would be able to leave Fa'an Town easily the next morning, but with Joanna's mother and daughter, it would inevitably delay his departure.

When he is alone, he can wander around unfettered, but considering Joanna's mother and daughter, he must clearly make a plan, direction, and destination after leaving. Safety and so on are all things that he needs to cover seriously. Otherwise, the slightest mistake may be doomed.

And Joanna is even busier than Charan. Cleaning up assets, packing up, buying carriages, hiring guards, and other tedious things need to be handled by herself.

Under the backdrop of the hard work of the two, Nina is the most idle person.

She was inexplicably puzzled by Uncle Ugly and her mother's decision to leave Fei'an Town, the two years of life in Fei'an Town had already made the little girl accustomed to the bits and pieces here, her friends in the school, and her kind uncles and aunts in the neighborhood. The wonderful programs often performed in Vanilla Square have all become her reluctant nostalgia.

She loved the town of Faan, but she had to leave.

She is not good at hiding her emotions, she begins to become depressed and depressed, she can no longer see the liveliness and cheerfulness of the past, she does not cry or make trouble, but is quietly silent, even if Joanna who notices the abnormality tries to persuade and comfort it to no avail.

"Uncle Ugly, why did we leave Fei'an Town?"

One afternoon, while Charan was thinking about the omissions in her plan, Nina took advantage of Joanna's absence to ask him about her confusion, because Joanna never told her why she left.

"Because in the near future, the town of Fa'an will be plunged into war and chaos. If we don't leave the town of Faan, we could all die here. Xia Lan reached out and touched Nina's little head. Does Nina wish we all died here? ”

It makes sense that Joanna didn't tell Nina the reason. The war was too far away and too strange to her, she didn't know what it meant, and she chose to leave based on her trust in Xia Lan, and she had no way of knowing if the war would come to Fay'an, and Joanna would keep silent when it was difficult to explain.

But Charan used death to explain the reason for leaving, perhaps Nina did not understand the meaning of war, death was an exception, because she had already felt death when she was young, the death of her father.

"Nina certainly doesn't want Uncle Ugly and Mom to die here." Nina clutched Charan's sleeve tightly, and a look of nervousness and panic appeared on her fair little face. "Ugly uncle! Since you know that a lot of people will die in Fa'an Town in the future, why don't you tell everyone to leave together? ”

"Because no one of you will believe what I say but Nina." Xia Lan said calmly: "Moreover, once I spread the news, maybe someone will arrest Uncle Ugly in prison again tomorrow." ”

The two countries are at war, and spreading rumors is a big crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason, Xia Lan naturally will not make this stupid mistake, not to mention what does the future life and death of other people have to do with him? Emotions may affect his thinking, but they definitely don't affect his selfish nature.

"Nina doesn't want her ugly uncle to be imprisoned, and she doesn't want the people in the town to die innocently...... "Nina is not a cold-blooded Xia Lan after all, she seems to have seen a nightmare that happened in the future, tears can't help but fall, and the whole person threw herself into Xia Lan's arms and cried.

"Nina, don't worry, Uncle Ugly will have a way to get people to escape here and avoid death before leaving Faan Town." Xia Lan shook her head and comforted Nina and said, "And Nina has stayed at home obediently for the past two days, don't leak this matter, otherwise none of us will be able to leave Fei'an Town at that time." ”

Nina, who got Xia Lan's promise, left with a sigh of relief, not knowing that Uncle Ugly had deceived herself by what he had just said.

……

……

Five days, a total of five days, Xia Lan and Joanna finally finished preparing to leave Fayan Town.

Early in the morning, walking out of the house and boarding the carriage parked in front of the door, Joanna looked back at the familiar door for the last time, and her heart suddenly filled with a trace of sadness, two years was enough time for her to develop feelings for this house where she had lived for two years, but from now on it would never belong to her again.

"Mom! Will we ever come back? Nina said as she took Joanna's hand and her eyes moistened.

"Maybe."

Joanna sighed softly and pulled Nina into the carriage, and the wheels began to roll and turn as the whip neighed. Looking out the window at the quiet streets, her eyes flashed with unforgettable memories, and her intuition told her that she might not be able to come back in this life.

Approaching the city gate, a loud and anxious voice came into the carriage.

"The hostess! Joanna hostess! ”

"Stop!"

Joanna hurriedly said when she heard this.

When the carriage stopped, Joanna opened the door and stepped down, and she soon saw the person calling for her.

Guy!

This hardworking and honest guy in the shop.

Two days ago, Joanna, who had completed the resale of the shop, fired him and informed her that she was about to leave Fei'an Town, but she did not disclose the exact reason, she just told the other party that she felt that Fei'an Town was no longer safe, so she decided to go to a new city and start a new life.

Thinking back to Guy's unbelievable grief at the time, Joanna is now filled with guilt.

Because she never informed her of her departure in advance, she only announced it after the shop was resold.

I didn't expect him to come to see her off today.

"Lady Joanna, when my mother learned the news that you were leaving, she made a lot of scones for me to give to you, saying that she was thanking you for taking care of me in the past two years!"

Guy ran to her out of breath and handed Joanna a bag in his hand.

"Guy! Aren't you mad at me? Joanna took the burden in a daze.

"Angry? Lady Joanna, why am I angry? Guy wondered.

"Of course, the sudden dismissal of you and the announcement of your departure from Fayan Town." Joanna said.

"The hostess! Rest assured! I'm not going to be mad about this! Guy touched the back of his head and smiled, "I was a little sad to hear your decision at first, but when I got home, I figured it out...... In fact, it is my luck to be a partner of the proprietress in the past two years, think about the black-hearted shops that often squeeze the labor of the buddies and deduct their salaries, the proprietress who has always taken good care of me is undoubtedly the kindest person in my eyes, if I am still dissatisfied with this, Guy am I still human? ”

"Guy!" After hearing this, Joanna couldn't help but sigh: "If I hadn't chosen to leave Fei'an Town, I would definitely be reluctant to give up your hard-working fellow!" ”

"Boss, it's a pity that I can't leave Fei'an Town with you to work hard in a new place!" Guy said frustratedly.

"Guy, be filial to your parents, maybe we will meet again in the future." Joanna comforted him.

"Will we ever see each other again in the future?" Guy perked up.

"Perhaps, no one can say what will happen in the future." Joanna smiled.

"That's right! Madame Joanna, did you really leave Fayan Town because it wasn't safe here? "Guy Dao." A few days ago, Viscount Maxius had already led his army to the border, don't you believe that he can defeat the invasion of the Heather Empire? ”

"Anything is possible in war." Joanna said seriously: "Instead of pinning your hopes on others, it is better to take the initiative to find a way out yourself, Guy!" Have you ever thought about the consequences of a failed kingdom? ”

"Defeat......" Guy nodded thoughtfully. Hostess, I know why you left Fayan, but I won't! Because I believe that the kingdom will definitely win the final victory, and my home is in the town of Fei'an, no matter what, I will not leave this land that gave birth to me and raised me, if one day the kingdom really fails, I will also take up the stick and protect my homeland with my life! ”

"Guy! Take care! ”

Joanna sighed deeply and said goodbye to Guy.

"The hostess! Have a nice trip! ”

Guy waved vigorously at Joanna, who boarded the carriage, and watched as the carriage faded away until it disappeared from sight.

This farewell has since become the farewell of the two.

Soon after Xia Lan drove the carriage out of the city gate, they successfully rendezvoused with a caravan of dozens of people, and one of them, a five-man mercenary team named Mountain Eagle, immediately met and took over the escort of the carriage.

Concerned about security, Charan not only asked Joanna to pay a lot of money to hire a team of mercenaries with a good reputation, but also contacted the caravans that were going to trade in other towns these days.

The security in all parts of the Kingdom of Anglion is good, and the large group of robbers and bandits are basically wiped out, but the small bandits still exist, and the protection of the small team of mercenaries alone is not enough to ensure safety, but with the strength of the caravan, anyone who dares to fight their ideas needs to weigh their own strength!
