It wasn't until Zhu's father came out with steaming eel noodles that Zhu Yuan was able to "get out of trouble" and went to the side to wipe the table.

Zhu's father glanced at his daughter and vaguely felt that something was wrong with her, but there were still things to clean up in the back kitchen, so he didn't ask.

When Zhu Fang finished cleaning up and asked his daughter to eat, he saw that she was still staying in the same place to wipe the table. Zhang Daqi next to him was nowhere to be seen, leaving the empty bowl and a dozen copper coins on the table.

He put away the copper coin, and saw that Zhu Yuan was unresponsive, but the hand of the handkerchief kept circling on the table.

"Yuan'er? Don't wipe it, any more wiping the corner of the table will make you wipe it off. ”

Zhu Fang walked over, pressed the worry in his heart, and said jokingly.

"Daddy?"

Zhu Yuan woke up, turned to look at his father, and also saw the empty table at some point, knowing that he was just stunned, and he didn't even say hello when someone left.

Reluctantly hooked the corners of his mouth, and went to clean up the table.

"Yuan'er, do you have something on your mind?"

Zhu Fang hesitated to speak, sighing in his heart, his family Yuan'er is too sensible, her mother went early, she has been worrying about business, and she doesn't even have a handkerchief that can speak.

"No, what can I do."

Zhu Yuan pulled out a smile, and then walked to the back kitchen with the empty bowl.

After lunch, the family sat down with a happy heart, feeling the sunshine slanting a little westward, and the heart sank a little bit.

"Mother? Are you thinking about Daddy? ”

Ning Baibei held an apple, looked at his mother's frown, and suddenly felt that the apple in his hand was not sweet.

"Well, I hope he arrives in Taihe safely."

Zhu Yuan's heart was full of sorrows, and someone secretly assassinated and wanted his life, and now he went to such a dangerous place.

Even if you can get there safely, what about after you arrive? The prince is not the emperor's son, will those officials cooperate? Will the hungry people hurt him?

You must know that where there have always been disasters, there will be death, and in order to survive, how many civilian farmers have fallen into the grass and killed for money.

The more I thought about it, the more worried I became about Ning Bosheng's safety, looking at the sun slanting westward, where did he go at this time?

"My mother is so worried about my father, why don't we go too, I can protect my mother and father!"

Ning Baibei looked up at his mother with a small face and said.

He doesn't like this kind of mother, he feels that his mother is so unhappy, and he doesn't even look at him, he wants his mother and father to hug him.

Zhu Yuan's eyes lit up when he heard Ning Baibei say to go to King Rui, but then they dimmed again.

Looking at the direction of the backyard, Zhu Yuan reached out and stroked the top of Ning Baibei's soft hair, and said in a lost tone:

"No, my mother knows that Bai Bei has been sensible recently, but my mother has to stay and take care of you Zhu Grandpa, and I can't take you to Daddy."

In fact, Zhu Yuan wanted to go in her heart, either she didn't think about following Ning Bosheng's side, or if there was danger, she could pull him to the fishing space in time to keep him safe.

But if he is gone, then who will protect the father?

What if Zhang Chi or the Lord of Xiangyang come back to find trouble?

Zhu Yuan, who was full of sorrow, didn't eat a few bites at dinner, and was stunned to pick up the rice grains in the bowl.

Zhu's father put down the dishes and chopsticks, entered his room with a calm face, and walked to Zhu Yuan with a burden after a while.

"Take it, put on this tomorrow morning and then go, I still need you a girl to protect me for most of my life, I'll wait for you to come back and open a restaurant!"

After Zhu Fang finished speaking, he threw down the burden in his hand and went back to his room.

Zhu Yuan watched his father enter the house in a daze and extinguished the candle.

She picked up the bag and opened it, revealing two dusty men's clothes, as well as a bulging bag of silver and dry rations wrapped in oiled paper.

In an instant, Zhu Yuan's eyes turned red, and she turned her head to glare at Ning Baibei, who was sitting on the small bench obediently.

"You didn't say that!"

"I wish grandpa that I can't make my mother unhappy, so... So I told Grandpa Zhu that my mother was worried about my father and wanted to protect my father, and Bai Bei could also protect my father and mother......"

The more Ning Baibei spoke, the quieter his voice became, looking at his mother's appearance that he was about to cry, and poked his little finger to wonder if he had done something wrong.

Zhu Yuan didn't blame him, he just sat with that burden for a while before he moved.

......

Early the next morning, Zhu Fang pushed open the door and saw a purse in front of the door, and Zhang Xinzhi was pressed under the purse.

He picked it up and opened it to see - I'm going to learn some new dishes, and the restaurant will definitely open!

didn't say too much, just one sentence, which made Zhu's father choke, opened his purse and looked at it, a full hundred taels.

"This girl, I don't need so much ...... at home"

It turned out that Zhu Yuan got up early in the morning, hesitated for a long time before leaving such a sentence, and half of the silver given by Zhu's father was also left.

The path deep in the woods, Zhu Yuan rode a horse, and in his arms was the excited Ning Baibei.

Seeing a stream, Zhu Yuan tightened the reins to let the horse stop slowly, then turned over and dismounted, and hugged Ning Baibei down.

The water of the stream is crystal clear, the small fish are leisurely at the bottom of the water, and a few slightly lively scurrying around teasing the aquatic plants.

Zhu Yuan took a deep breath, and the fresh air poured into the cavity, taking away the exhaustion.

Seeing Ning Baibei squatting down to tease Xiaoyu'er, she also took some water to wash her face, and after two days of driving, she was finally about to catch up with Ning Bosheng and his party.

Looking at the reflection in the stream, like a handsome little brother, the little brother smiled, and his round apricot eyes were bent into crescents, which was very pleasing.

Zhu Yuan looked at the reflection of his appearance on the water, and wondered if Ning Bosheng would recognize himself when he saw her like this.

The more he thought about it, the more happy Zhu Yuan became, and greeted Ning Baibei, who was about to plunge into the water, and started to hurry again.

"Mother, mother, it's Daddy! I see Daddy! ”

Out of the woods and onto a wide slope, Ning Baibei danced and shouted.

Because on the official road below the slope, Rui Wang's mighty group happened to pass by.

"Well, we're going to see Daddy soon."

Zhu Yuan was also very happy, hurried and hurried, and finally caught up before entering the Taihe realm.

Just as they were happy to meet Ning Bosheng, in the woods behind them, several sneaky men with sticks and large knives were quietly approaching them.

As soon as Zhu Yuan pulled the reins, she drove the horses to hurry up and catch up, but when she turned around, she found that she had been surrounded.

It is false to say that he is not afraid, Zhu Yuan is also the first time to go out in this strange world, and it is also the first time in two lifetimes to meet robbers, how can he not be afraid.

"You... What do you want to do? ”

Because of the panic, even if Zhu Yuan tried his best to hide his fear, his voice still trembled.

The men were stunned when they heard Zhu Yuan's voice, and then one of them took the lead in relaxing his vigilance, and laughed:

"It's still a little lady!"

Hearing him say this, the rest of the people also reacted, took back the big knife and laughed in unison.
