In the evening, the heat surged, and everyone in Huatao Manor had gone back to their rooms to sleep peacefully, drawing a superficial break for the fierce battle of the day.

Nie Xiaoqian was tied hand and foot and locked in an iron cage in a wooden house. The wooden house was dimly lit, and only an oil lamp on the wall brought a little light, which reflected Nie Xiaoqian's face in a desolate light.

All the buildings in Huatao Manor are made of wood, and in order to prevent Nie Xiaoqian from escaping through the wall, Ning Wanqiu added this layer of iron cage on the basis of tying her hands and feet.

Despite the layers of protection, there is a restless heart that always thinks about this wooden house. A thin figure, at the third watch in the middle of the night, penetrated the back wall of the wooden house and came to the cage where Nie Xiaoqian was being held.

Through the weak light, Nie Xiaoqian saw clearly the appearance of the person who came, it was her nephew, Sun Xiaoshu.

Before coming to Zhejiang, Sun Xiaoshu didn't know that he still had the ability to cross wood, but after hearing that his aunt often used this trick, he suspected that he could do it, so on this important night, Sun Xiaoshu came to the back wall of the wooden house where Nie Xiaoqian was imprisoned, and after several attempts, he was able to enter.

In the middle of the night, this person entered in this way, which was really incomprehensible, and Nie Xiaoqian, who was already like ashes, suddenly had surprise written on her face: "Aren't you Sun Xiaoshu?" What are you doing here? ”

"Shhh Sun Xiaoshu asked Nie Xiaoqian to calm down, so he quickly took out a key, opened the iron cage, dragged Nie Xiaoqian out, and spent a while to untie the ropes on her hands and feet, and said, "Okay, you can go quickly." ”

Nie Xiaoqian didn't leave immediately, and said in a daze: "Why do you want to let me go?" ”

"What else could be the reason? As I said, you are now my only relative in this world, and I came to Zhejiang to come to see you, auntie, but I didn't expect to go through so many twists and turns to finally see you in this way. So, how could I watch you die? ”

Nie Xiaoqian's heart was warm, but she was not without worry: "But, after all, you are their person, what if you let me go, what if they know?" ”

"No, don't worry. When I came out, I searched all the way around, but I didn't find anyone patrolling. This key, which I also obtained from another room, has not been found until now. Tomorrow morning, when they find out that you are gone, they will only think that you have escaped on your own, and I will just pretend that I don't know anything. ”

"So, would you like to come with me?"

"No, auntie, I promised them that after meeting you in Zhejiang, I would become their companion and travel with them, and I couldn't break my promise. In short, I am very satisfied to be able to do something for my aunt. ”

Nie Xiaoqian bent down, gently hugged the lovely nephew in front of her, and choked up in a choked tone: "Xiaoshu, although I am your aunt by blood, we have never known each other after all, today we are just meeting for the first time, or in a hostile capacity, but you are willing to pay so much for me, my gratitude is really indescribable." ”

"It's hard to put into words, so you don't have to say anything." Sun Xiaoshu's eyes reflected a faint firelight, and he said, "When Daddy was alive, he often gave me an example, saying that a branch in his hand is easy to break, but when ten branches are together, it will become extremely tough. Daddy said that we Dryad clan, breaking the trunk and connecting the roots, must support each other so as not to be bullied by outsiders. Auntie, I don't know if it's just because Daddy is a goath, or if the dryads all have this temperament? ”

Nie Xiaoqian smiled desolate and said: "Actually, we are all the same, even if it is the Red Yaksha, at the moment of resurrection, she will think about your father for the first time, and the first thing she does is to call on her children to celebrate and enjoy the joy of the family, which is the most valuable spiritual wealth of the Dryad, and because of this, once we are separated from our loved ones, our loneliness will be stronger than that of humans or other monsters...... Alas, little tree, I don't know if we can still see each other if we say goodbye today? ”

"The most important thing at the moment is to leave this place safely, and leave the future to fate......" Saying that, Sun Xiaoshu gently opened the door a crack, looked from the inside out, and urged, "Auntie, there is no one outside now, you go quickly, otherwise, the longer you stay, the easier it will be to be discovered!"

"Okay, Auntie is gone, take care." Nie Xiaoqian didn't delay any longer, opened the door, and ran out, looking around left and right while running.

Sun Xiaoshu watched Nie Xiaoqian in the house, only to see that her back had not gone far, and suddenly, a red light fell from the sky and stopped in front of Nie Xiaoqian.

Sun Xiaoshu was shocked, hurriedly got out of the wooden house, and ran in the direction where the red light was.

When he got closer, he saw clearly that the person who intercepted it was not an outsider, it was Ning Wanqiu in the Liuquan Group.

In fact, since Pu Weihai ordered Nie Xiaoqian to be imprisoned, how could he not arrange for a reliable person to guard her? Ning Wanqiu was the one who was responsible for guarding Nie Xiaoqian all night, but she had been lying on the wooden roof so that she could see farther, and it was also to prevent a tree demon from entering through the wall from the roof and rescue Nie Xiaoqian.

Previously, Sun Xiaoshu passed through the back wall of the wooden house, and naturally he couldn't see Ning Wanqiu on the roof, and Ning Wanqiu saw Sun Xiaoshu's strange behavior clearly, and the reason why he didn't show up to interfere was to see what this kid was trying to do. After Sun Xiaoshu's "traitor" identity was confirmed, Ning Wanqiu naturally couldn't condone Nie Xiaoqian's escape, so she decisively stopped her.

Nie Xiaoqian was full of desire to survive at the moment, and when she saw a young man intercepting her, she launched her demonic energy to fight against it. However, although Nie Xiaoqian's ability is peculiar, she is far from Ning Wanqiu's opponent in solo combat, and after three rounds, she was knocked to the ground by Ning Wanqiu and trampled under her feet.

Seeing Sun Xiaoshu appear, Ning Wanqiu deliberately teased: "Yo, it turned out to be my own person?" You came just in time, Nie Xiaoqian was about to escape, and I caught you, you go to the house and find the rope, I tied up this banshee. ”

Sun Xiaoshu saw that the matter had been revealed, so he didn't dare to lie, and immediately begged for mercy: "Brother Ning, I let my aunt go, you can do well, can you let her live?" ”

Ning Wanqiu sneered: "She is the enemy of all of us, Mr. Pu can't wait to get rid of her as soon as possible, but you want to let her go?" How daring! ”

"Sun Xiaoshu, what are you talking about? I ran away on my own! At her feet, Nie Xiaoqian saw that Ning Wanqiu had a tough attitude, and she no longer had hope for herself, she only wanted to protect her nephew, and shouted at Ning Wanqiu: "Your name is Ning Wanqiu, right?" I do things by myself, and if you want to kill or chop you to dispose of it, but it doesn't matter to him! ”

"Hmph, the third watch haunts here in the middle of the night, what did this kid do, you know better than me!" Ning Wanqiu said to Sun Xiaoshu again, "However, I didn't call anyone, and I will give you one last chance." For the sake of you saving Zhang Dahui, if you find a rope, recapture Nie Xiaoqian in the cage, and atone for your sins, I can treat it as if nothing happened. Otherwise, the truth will be revealed, and tomorrow morning, everyone's face will probably not look good! ”

"Let my aunt go!" Xiao Shu only has his aunt in his heart at the moment, and he can't take care of it much, so he actually launched his demonic power and attacked Ning Wanqiu.

Seeing that Sun Xiaoshu was stubborn, Ning Wanqiu sighed, kept her right foot in the posture of stepping on Nie Xiaoqian, and beckoned Sun Xiaoshu.

Sun Xiaoshu also had mediocre fighting ability, and was soon knocked out of the ground by Ning Wanqiu's palm.

Ning Wanqiu stretched out her right hand, grabbed Sun Xiaoshu in the air again, and shouted, "Sun Xiaoshu, don't embarrass me!" ”

Sun Xiaoshu danced his hands and feet in the air, only to feel extremely uncomfortable, and his heart was like a knife, after struggling for a long time to no avail, he screamed again and again, and at a certain moment, his eyes suddenly rolled white, as if he was in a trance, and then, a huge demonic aura in his body suddenly awakened, and hit Ning Wanqiu like a storm! Ning Wanqiu's body was blown back by this demonic aura, and she almost couldn't hold her balance, and said in surprise: "What's the matter?" You kid, you actually hide such a huge demonic power! As a last resort, he loosened his hand and let Sun Xiaoshu fall to the ground.

Sun Xiaoshu regained his freedom and sanity, and the huge demonic power quickly disappeared without a trace, but he was still unwilling to give up, and a vine stretched out from his body, striking towards Ning Wanqiu's waist.

Ning Wanqiu couldn't judge how much strength Sun Xiaoshu still had for a while, and she was worried about being injured, so she finally lifted her foot that was stepping on Nie Xiaoqian and dodged sideways.

The vines failed to entangle Ning Wanqiu, but only swept over her waist and knocked off the clothes belt.

The clothes belt immediately spread out, and a white cloth floated out, and the white cloth swayed in the air, and finally fell in front of Nie Xiaoqian and unfolded.

Under the red light, Nie Xiaoqian was surprised to see that on the white cloth, there was a seven-character quatrain, and the content of it, just a cursory glance, had already plucked her heartstrings:

Shili Ping Lake is full of frost

Every inch of green silk is sad for the Chinese year

Look at the moon and look at each other

Only envy mandarin ducks, not immortals

This "Ten Miles of Pinghu" is exactly the love token that Ning Caichen made for me when he married me, and this old white cloth is the one that year, and this handwriting is also Ning Caichen's true handwriting!

Nie Xiaoqian's mind was in a mess, she picked up the white cloth, stood up, and shouted to Ning Wanqiu: "Why is this thing here with you?" Ning Wanqiu, who are you? Ning ......"

Reading this surname repeatedly, Nie Xiaoqian finally realized something, her eyes widened, and she couldn't believe that this was reality.

Ning Wanqiu saw that the matter had come to this point, and reluctantly responded: "Yes, Nie Xiaoqian, I am the descendant of you and Ning Caichen, to be precise, your great-grandson, but so what?" ”

Knowing Ning Wanqiu's identity, Sun Xiaoshu was also shocked, in this way, the opponent in front of him, even if he was a few years older than himself, was only his junior, so he pleaded regardless of his seniority: "Brother Ning, since we are all members of a big family, please let my aunt go!" ”

"Hmph, I'm sorry, but I don't have your pathetic group mentality. Since ancient times, good and evil have not been opposed, and father and son may also fight against each other, let alone against an unmasked demon? ”

For Ning Wanqiu, only heroic feats are what she wants.

At this moment, Nie Xiaoqian had fallen into deep grief and remorse, unable to extricate herself, and said with tears in her eyes: "It's not easy to find your relatives, but do you have to be so hard-working?" Okay, late autumn, if I can die at your hands, I, Nie Xiaoqian, have no regrets. ”

Hearing this, Ning Wanqiu softened and was a little at a loss: "Huh? I was just ordered to guard you, and I didn't intend to kill you......"

"Then don't stop me, let me go!"

"That's not going to work either! I beg you, don't push me anymore! Nie Xiaoqian, I advise you to cooperate with us and help the Pu family find the Red Yaksha and Jenny, I promise, after getting rid of the Red Yaksha, I will also plead with the Pu family father and son to give you a way to live. ”

Nie Xiaoqian was noncommittal, looked up at the night, sighed, and muttered, "You God, how many years are you going to torture me?" ”

The three of them were at a standoff outside the hut, just as they were making a decision about the chaotic scene, when suddenly, the situation changed again.

A cloud of sky-blue rectangular aura suddenly broke through the air and flew in, and before the three of them could react, they had already hit Nie Xiaoqian's back.

Nie Xiaoqian was not hurt, but her whole body suddenly lost control again as if she had been clicked on the acupoint: "I...... Why can't I move? ”

Ning Wanqiu immediately understood a little about this scene, and looked in the direction where the aura was flying, only to see that it was dark under the night.

"Oh my God, Jenny, is that you?"
