Xu Erlang was dressed in a black suit, which made him more and more straight, and his whole body was awe-inspiring.

He should have experienced a few fierce battles before, so there is still a bloody aura on his body that cannot be washed away. Jin Niang approached and smelled it, so she hurriedly beckoned Chen Jiayu behind her not to lean forward first.

Chen Jiayu was also really shocked by the evil aura on the second uncle's body, so he wisely stopped in place and stopped moving forward.

Changzhou and Changhui ran to their father like a few children, if it wasn't for Xu Erlang's timely reining in the horse, the horse's hooves would have trampled them into mud. But a few children will not be afraid, they are clever, and their father's skills in driving horses are even more extreme, so things like being trampled by horses will not happen at all.

The solemnity and awe-inspiring look on Xu Erlang's face all converged when he saw several children.

He swept his eyes over the scene and saw Jin Niang and Chen Jiayu who came over later, Changle and Xiaoyu'er who were hurrying down from the carriage, and Changqi who flew into his arms. It's good, everyone is there, there are a lot of them.

Xu Erlang was relieved and got off the horse with Changqi in his arms.

Changqi kissed his father's face, and soon his little face was slightly painful by the hard scum. She stretched out her fleshy little hand and touched it, "Daddy wants to shave, Zaza." ”

Xu Erlang said "um", "I don't have any tools now, and when I get to the boat, my father will scrape." ”

Changqi nodded with satisfaction, and hugged her father affectionately and kissed her.

Although my father smelled of sweat, his face was dusty, and the beard on his cheeks was even more prickly. But who let this be her own father, she can think about her father.

Changqi is tired of Xu Erlang and can't come down, and Changzhou Changhui is in a hurry. The two boys jumped up, but unfortunately their kung fu was limited, and they couldn't jump directly into their father's arms like their sister. No matter what, it's good to hold Daddy's thigh, and no one can separate them from Daddy anymore anyway.

Changzhou Changhui hugged Xu Erlang's leg alone, and Changzhou still said sincerely, "Dad, I miss you so much, do you want us?" Dad, are you hurt, are you eating? ”

Changhui held back a sentence, "Dad, did you sleep?" We just woke up. ”

Xu Erlang was a little ridiculous when he heard this, and he couldn't help but smile a few times on his cold face.

At this time, Jin Niang finally walked up to her and quickly lifted the two bear children away...... Didn't mention the slip.

She was about to go crazy, "Hurry up and let go of Daddy, see that your Daddy's eyes are all blue and black, you must not have had a good rest in the past two days." How heavy are you, and you still add a burden to your father, aren't you panicking? ”

Changzhou and Changhui were very weak-hearted, and even Changqi lowered his little head in confusion.

The three little guys were very obedient and disciplined, and immediately moved away from Xu Erlang. Xu Erlang still wanted to hug Changqi, but was disgusted by Jin Niang, "It's not too late to get close to them when you have a good rest." You too, you only care about your rare son and daughter, how long have I been standing next to you, you don't look at me a few times, I feel that I am an invisible person. ”

Changle and Xiao Yu'er, as well as Brother Rong, who had dismounted, approached, and just heard this sentence. For a while, the faces of the three of them changed a lot, and they didn't know what words to use to describe it.

Xu Erlang looked at the three children who were approaching, looked at Jinniang with a smile and said, "The children are coming, you don't have to say a word." ”

Out of the corner of her eye, Jin Niang also caught a glimpse of the children approaching, and quickly shut up wisely.

Changle and several people came to Xu Erlang, and naturally they couldn't avoid some inquiry. Brother Rong keenly noticed that the eldest brother didn't follow, and hurriedly asked, "Dad, what about the eldest brother, is something wrong with him?" ”

Changle and Xiao Yu'er immediately clenched their fists, and the expressions on their faces were extremely nervous. Jin Niang also patted her head, always feeling that something was wrong, it turned out that Chang'an didn't come, and she forgot about Chang'an.

Jin Niang also looked at Xu Erlang, and saw that Xu Erlang was not in a hurry and said, "Chang'an has a scratch on his arm, I am worried that if he rushes to pick you up again, the wound will become inflamed and suppurated, so I let him stay on the boat." ”

"Scratches? Is it serious? Is that arm? ”

Xu Erlang said, "It's not serious, it's a small one, and there hasn't been much blood." The injury in his left arm will not delay him from studying for the imperial examination. Okay, don't worry, now go back to the carriage and rest. I will go to the dock around in the evening, and you will see what is going on in Chang'an at that time. ”

Changle replied unwillingly, and then was pulled away by Xiao Yu'er.

Xiao Yu'er also took the triplets with her by the way, preparing to vacate the first carriage and let her father and mother stay alone for a while, and it was best to let her father have a place to rest for a while.

When Xu Erlang and Jin Niang approached the first carriage, Chen Jiayu finally saw the time to come over and salute.

Jin Niang beckoned and said, "You go to the car to rest quickly, don't come." Erlang smells of blood all over his body, and he will rush to you in a while. ”

He turned over and explained to Xu Erlang with a smile, "Jiayu is pregnant, and it's less than a month now. She had morning sickness before, and I was worried that she would react too much, so I let her rest. ”

Xu Erlang also seemed to be a little surprised, so he said, "It should be." Wen Sheng said to Chen Jiayu, "Go back and rest, the family doesn't need to see outside." ”

Chen Jiayu's face was slightly red, and he saluted again, and was slowly helped to the carriage by Ya.

Jin Niang and Xu Erlang also got into the carriage, and after they sat down, Jin Niang beckoned Brother Rong to come over, "Your father is back, we have a few more people, if you are very tired, come up together to rest." ”

Brother Rong'er's spirit is very different from before.

Before my father was not here, he was the head of the family. The female dependents in the team are either mothers and aunts, or sisters and sisters, and he, as the only man, is naturally their backbone, so he naturally has to hold up the posture.

Because of this, he cheered up all the way and did not dare to relax in the slightest. Now that Daddy is here, his backbone is back. But his father is far more tired than him, and he still wants his father to rest for a while, so naturally it is better for him to continue to hold on to the field.

Brother Rong refused, and Jin Niang didn't care about him.

She asked Xu Erlang to lie on her lap and sleep for a while, "You haven't rested for the past two days, have you?" You see you're all blue and black right now, lie down and rest, and I'll press your head. ”

The old husband and wife are gone, and Xu Erlang doesn't hold up in front of Jinniang.

The past two days have really not stopped, and the people on the Jiangnan side have paid a lot of money to assassinate him. Not to mention setting fire to the inn, they didn't even let go of a few shops next to it, and directly poured oil on the building. They are all wooden building materials, and when they burn, they are full of flames. The inn he had coiled down was not poured with oil, but it was surrounded like an island, and it was difficult for the people inside to escape.

Not to mention that there were four or five hundred assassins in ambush outside.

Xu Erlang's preliminary estimate is that it is rare for all families in Jiangnan to unite and act together, and each family has a person.

In addition, more than 100 archers were deployed nearby, and it was really a matter of trying to take his life.

Fortunately, he had also made Zhou Xiang's arrangements earlier, so although he lost some manpower, the plan went smoothly in the end.

Xu Erlang briefly mentioned a few words to Jin Niang, and said that the mourner had gone to the capital......

These words are a little crazy, which makes the hairs on Jinniang's back rise.

Jin Niang asked Xu Erlang tentatively, "Who is in our family?" ”

Xu Erlang lay on her lap and rubbed his temples twice, "Damn it's all dead." ”

What is the ...... Pierced in the heart.

It's also too unlucky.

Jin Niang couldn't bear it anymore, and slapped Xu Erlang on the arm. Xu Erlang seemed to have expected her to react like this, but he didn't dodge. just turned his face sideways and buried his head in her abdomen, "Are you acting, why are you still serious?" It's all to hide people's eyes, and the real situation is not that you are all living well? Don't take it to heart, those people are seriously ill and don't live long. They solved this problem for you, and then we will take care of their family for the rest of our lives, and it is a good deal. ”

But Jin Niang felt a little unbearable in her heart.

But she didn't say anything more.

She is a person who has benefited, and now it is too disgusting to cry and fake mercy.

When she walked into the tunnel, didn't she think that Xu Erlang would do this? She actually knows it in her heart. She didn't speak out at that time, and there is no need to speak out now, so just like Xu Erlang said, take care of those people in her lifetime, and let them die without regrets.

They don't live long, and it should be a good deal to exchange the months or years of their lives for the food and clothing of their loved ones.

Jin Niang forced herself to convince herself, but she felt a little uncomfortable after all.

She said, "When I go to Jiangnan, I will go to the temple and light a lantern for them, so that the Buddha can bless them with a good birth in the next life." ”

"Okay, do what you want."

The guilt in Jinniang's heart finally disappeared a lot.

When she came back to her senses, she saw Xu Erlang holding her waist and lying on her lap and already asleep.

There is not much space in the carriage, and he has a straight body, and his legs become more and more long when he lies down...... I felt more and more that he was sleeping restrainedly.

But there is no way to do it, so I can only endure it first.

Fortunately, Xu Erlang was really tired, and he fell asleep very deeply after lying down. In this way, there is no question of sleeping comfortably or not.

There are a few more people in the convoy, and the key is that Xu Erlang, the head of the family, has returned, and everyone's spirit has become different with the naked eye, and even their voices are much louder. Of course, on the whole, the voice is still small, after all, we all know that adults are recuperating. But the confidence in them was very different before.

If it was said that they avoided everything like a tiger before, then now they are a tiger, and they can also fight.

It's also very arrogant......

Soon it was time for lunch, and they would either eat dry food or settle down at the temporary settlement where they could have some soup. It is said that in the wilderness now, just eat some dry food to cope. But because the head of the family came back, after thinking about it, Brother Rong discussed it with his mother again, and still let people stop and rebel on the spot.

Even if they could, the guards who had come from afar to find them still had to have a hot meal.

They are much more haggard than when they saw them before, and in just two days, each of them has lost at least three or five pounds, and it seems that it is not easy.

The hot meal was made quickly, and Brother Rong specially served one and gave it to his mother through the window. He also asked with his mouth, "Do you want to wake up Daddy?" ”

Jin Niang shook her head, or something else. Xu Erlang felt very light, and the slightest movement could wake him up. I must have been tired from sleeping so deeply this time. If you wake him up, it will be difficult to fall asleep. Closing your eyes and recuperating is comparable to a real long sleep, so let people fall asleep first.

Jin Niang waved her hand again to let Brother Rong shorten the meal, "When your father wakes up later, I will eat with him." ”

Brother Rong frowned, but he didn't refute his mother in the end. But then he went and returned, but he came over with a plate of osmanthus cake.

"When you're hungry, eat two to pad your stomach. This taste is small and won't wake up Dad. ”

As he spoke, Brother Rong'er's eyes were dyed with a smile, and even Jin Niang couldn't help but smile and bend her eyes.

She was really afraid that the food would taste too fragrant and cause the greedy worms in Xu Erlang's stomach to scream, and it would be very unbeautiful to wake him up again. Fortunately, my son is caring and knows her concerns. This child began to be intimate when he grew up, and sure enough, although he was a little tired of raising a child, when it was time to enjoy the harvest fruit, the fruit was far more delicious than expected.

After lunch, we continued on our way, after which the sun became hotter and hotter. It's better to stay outside, even if your skin hurts from the sun, but occasionally a cool breeze blows, which can temporarily relieve the heat.

But sitting in the carriage, it was really hot without a hint of wind.

In the carriage in the middle, Chen Jiayu fanned herself, and in the carriage behind, Changle and Xiaoyuer worked hard to take care of their three younger siblings.

As for Jin Niang in the first carriage, she didn't stop, holding a fan and constantly fanning Xu Erlang to cool off.

Xu felt cool, Xu Erlang opened his eyes and looked at Jin Niang a few times, but Jin Niang just patted him on the back twice, and he hugged Jin Niang and fell asleep with his eyes closed.

Jin Niang thought, was he conscious or unconscious just now?

Probably not, I always feel that he is asleep, and everyone is dizzy.

The sun isn't all bad, at least the rain from last night's rainstorm evaporated quickly. The road hardened again, and the carriage they were riding in was finally not as bumpy as it had been.

In a hurry, I finally arrived at the Nguyen County pier in the evening.

Ruan County is a county seat under the jurisdiction of Chuzhou Prefecture, but because of the surrounding mountains and remote geographical location, even if it is close to the state capital, the people's lives are very hard.

As for the wharf in Nguyen County, it has not been used much since it was repaired. And because the dock is outside the city, it has been abandoned for too long, and this side looks very dilapidated.

The weeds around it are almost up to people's waists, and it looks very desolate.

But it was precisely because of the desolation that Xu Erlang chose this place as the place to board the ship.

It was nearly dark, and the sunset in the west was about to set, and there was no trace of any creatures around, so the group generously boarded a few small boats hiding in the reeds.

Xu Erlang woke up in the middle of the afternoon, got up and used something, talked to Jin Niang for a while, and it was time to get here.

He carried Cheung Chau and Changhui on the boat, and when he saw the two children and a few older ones behind him, they were looking curiously left and right, so he explained, "This is a fisherman's fishing boat, and it is cheap to hide." When the boat has gone south for about thirty miles, there are prepared merchant ships waiting for them, and everything is on them, so that you can have a good rest after you pass. ”
