The Xiao family brothers and sisters didn't know about the tragic situation in Nanshan Village last night, after all, the Xiao family was still a certain distance from Nanshan Village, and there was a small hill to cover it.

"Brother, I was uneasy last night, and I always felt that something was going to happen." Xiao Muqing didn't rest well all night, and her complexion was a little worse.

"After drinking the medicine in a while, go back to the house and sleep for a while, my brother is here." Xiao Mu said gently.

Xiao Muqing nodded, and couldn't eat breakfast after only a few bites. Biyun sent a warm medicine, Xiao Muqing frowned and drank it, twisted a candied fruit and was about to put it in his mouth.

"Childe, miss, it's not good." The housekeeper ran in in a panic, with a panicked look on his face, "There are bandits who have come in, our Xiao Mansion has been surrounded, there are too many people, and it won't last long." ”

"What?" The candied fruit in Xiao Muqing's hand fell, and her face turned pale.

"The guards are coming, the other party is well-trained, it doesn't seem to be our Eastern Han Dynasty, the son has already made a decision!" The housekeeper didn't have time to appease Xiao Muqing, so he asked for instructions quickly.

"Immediately prepare to be soft and evacuate through the secret passage." Xiao Mu made a decision immediately, without any hesitation.

"Yes." The butler nodded in response, and asked again, "How many people does Childe plan to take away?" The old slave was afraid that it would be more chaotic outside, so he asked the son to prepare with both hands. ”

Suddenly remembering what Bai Ling said before, Xiao Mu thought for a while and said, "Let the subordinates leave with us, escorted by the guards brought by the capital." The others, insisting on half an hour, went to the Bai family in Nanshan Village. ”

The housekeeper didn't expect Xiao Mu to take care of the lives of his subordinates, and his heart couldn't help but be moved, but he was stunned because of Xiao Mu's later words.

"Brother, is the Bai family really safe?" Xiao Muqing nervously grabbed Xiao Mu's sleeve and asked.

"Believe my brother." Xiao Mu didn't explain, and ordered: "Go and prepare immediately, everything is simple, gather in the back mountain after a cup of tea, and if you can't come in time, just wait to go with the people who evacuated behind." ”

"Yes." The housekeeper left, and Xiao Muqing's two girls also went to pack their bags.

"Brother, why do you want to run away with your subordinates? If it's just the two of us, the guards brought from the capital will definitely protect you and me. Xiao Muqing was so frightened that only the brother and sister were left in the house, and immediately said what she really thought in her heart.

Xiao Mu looked at Xiao Muqing in disappointment, she didn't expect her to have such selfish thoughts.

can think that most masters will choose to sacrifice their subordinates in the face of danger, so they don't blame.

"Qing'er, the Xiao family has been able to stand so far because of loyalty and kindness." After Xiao Mu finished speaking, he took Xiao Muqing's wrist and walked away, not noticing that Xiao Muqing's face turned a little paler.

The Xiao family's ancestral house was built very large, and because it was located in the mountains and forests, there were a lot of traps, and it was not difficult to hold back the tribal army.

After the Xiao family brothers and sisters took people out of the secret passage, they headed towards Nanshan Village, not knowing what the situation was on the side of the ancestral house.

But the burned-out houses in Nanshan Village, the corpses lying on the ground, and the bloodstains on the dirt roads all show that something has happened here.

Xiao Muqing, who was supported by the maid, was so frightened that she closed her eyes tightly, and didn't dare to look at the situation outside.

"Quick, go to the Bai family." Xiao Mu commanded.

"Brother, Nanshan Village is gone, and the Bai family must also ......" Xiao Muqing hurriedly said in a hurry, afraid of delaying the time to escape.

Bai Ling said that she had prepared a way out. Since she asked us to go to the Bai family when we were in danger, it would not be a lie. Xiao Mu spoke calmly, and his trust in Bai Ling was deeper than Xiao Muqing's.

Even if she didn't grow up in the capital since she was a child, Xiao Muqing's education was the same as that of other children of the Xiao family.

In front of outsiders, the words of the young master of the Xiao family are heaven and cannot be refuted.

The group sped up to Bai's house, and after knocking on the door, they found that the door was closed, and no one answered at all.

"Nobody, what are we going to do?" Xiao Muqing asked tremblingly, scared.

"Go in and see what's going on." Xiao Mu said to the guards with him.

The guard climbed over the gate, and found that the gate was locked, and there was nothing unusual in the courtyard, so he came out to reply.

Xiao Mu glanced at the direction of the mountain behind him and ordered: "Open the door first, everyone will enter the courtyard to rest temporarily, and remember not to move." Dark one, immediately go to the back mountain and find the Bai family for help. ”

As the young master of the Xiao family, Xiao Mu has secret guards around him to protect him, and he will not use them under normal circumstances.

And the reason why Xiao Mu chose to stay in the Bai family temporarily was because after his secret guard suffered the loss of the Bai family, he had figured out the trap set by the Bai family.

The Bai family is easier to guard than the Xiao family's ancestral house, after all, their people can be concentrated, and those drugs can be used by hundreds of people.

Bai Ling didn't know that someone was occupying the magpie's nest, and he was taking a group of little children to roast fish to eat at the moment.

"Xiaoshan, your fish is burnt, this is not good. It is said that it is better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles, and if you go out in the future, you must at least have the ability to take care of yourself, otherwise you will have to endure more hardships. ”

Seeing that Bai Xiaoshan had grilled the fish, Bai Ling lectured.

"It's my first time grilling fish, so I'll be able to grill it well next time." Bai Xiaoshan pursed his lips and took a raw fish, intending to start over.

"The second sister taught you a truth of life, no matter how much gold and silver, it is better to have survival skills. No matter how many books you read, it is better to have a cool head, understand the state of affairs, and recognize yourself. ”

Bai Ling eats grilled fish, since there is no shortage of silver at home, he has never eaten like this, and he misses it a little.

"Take advantage of this time, the second sister will teach you some survival skills, you put down the books for the time being, and mix with the second sister."

"But Mr. said that you can't stop studying, and you have to learn new ...... from the past" Bai Xiaoshan frowned, and he didn't know whether he should agree for a while.

"Stinky boy, the second sister said that you would learn life skills from me, but she didn't say that she wouldn't let you read? It's just for you to combine work and rest, and not to be the kind of nerd who only knows how to shake your head. ”

Bending his fingers and flicking Bai Xiaoshan's head, Bai Ling crossed Erlang's legs, leaned against a big stone, and said with an old look:

"You have to remember that no matter what you do in the future, you can't just follow the books, you have to know how to be flexible. Books are the crystallization of the wisdom of our predecessors, which can enlighten you, let you avoid detours, and teach you the principles of life. ”

But in this world, not everything is set in stone, and in the future you will meet many people and things that are not taught in books. Being able to respond to all changes with the same is a kind of realm, but no matter what happens, let yourself stand in a stable place, which is also a sign of success. ”

Bai Xiaoshan nodded as if he didn't understand, pouted aggrievedly and said, "Second sister, if you are reasonable, you can just say it, why do you want to hit me in the head!" What if you beat me up? ”

"Then the second sister will support you for a lifetime."

Bai Ling rolled his eyes and rubbed the top of Bai Xiaoshan's head vigorously.

"Did I say you're not as cute as you used to be? Old-fashioned like a little old man, if I had known that you would study like this, the second sister would take you directly to do business, it's really heartbreaking. ”

"Second sister." Bai Xiaoshan blushed and lowered his head embarrassedly.

The three brothers of the Liu family couldn't help but laugh when they looked at Bai Xiaoshan's appearance, but fortunately they were a little older, and they didn't laugh out loud considering Bai Xiaoshan's face.

"Second cousin, can we also learn with you?"

Liu Xusheng looked at Bai Ling, with a calm face that did not match his age.
