Lan Yongzhi glanced at Xie Qingning deeply before leaving, and after Xie Tan and the others had said goodbye, Xie Qingning asked Bang Zheng, "Who is there in your hometown?" ”

"Miss wants to entrust the child to my relatives?" Bang Zheng immediately guessed what she meant, but nodded without refusing, "That's fine, we won't rest assured if we hand it over to outsiders, after all, it's just a child." ”

Xie Qingning was stunned for a moment before asking, "Aren't you afraid of endangering your relatives?" ”

"Miss, we are a family, since you believe me, how can I disappoint you." Bang Zheng said very solemnly, not like he was reluctant to agree, but it made Xie Qingning's heart warm slightly, and said with a smile, "I'm just talking, I'll take him with me all the way, maybe I can meet other destined people and then entrust me." ”

"That treasure trove ......,"

"Since it's the Wu family's thing, of course, he has to leave it to himself." Xie Qingning stretched out his hand and rubbed his tired eyebrows, and after ending this conversation, he hurriedly washed up before changing back into his daughter's clothes, although he had no dreams all night, he was still awakened by a nightmare at dawn.

There always seemed to be countless people's cries and begs for mercy in her ears, which lasted for a long time, one after another.

Xie Qingning sat up, looked out the window at the darkness before dawn, and was stunned for a long time before she heard the smoke and rain calling softly outside the door, and occasionally heard the cry of a child next door, she had to put away her heart full of sadness, dress and get up.

Almost everyone got up, but the child was too young to eat rice and was hungry and crying, and he couldn't coax the kite in a hurry, so he was so anxious that he was at a loss and sweating.

"Let's go and prepare some goat's milk," Xie Qingning picked up the child and walked around, turning to the zither and said.

Bang Zheng thought that there was no other way, so he hurriedly pulled Yanyu out to find goat's milk or milk, and stored it in a water bladder for the child to drink on the way.

Because of this child, Xie Qingning could only buy a carriage in the city, and the journey naturally became slow, but it was precisely because of this that she discovered that there was a mysterious force that had been following them not far behind, and that person obviously had no ill will towards them, but he also had no intention of leaving, which made people guess his intentions.

Xie Qingning thought about it, and made an excuse to let the carriage go first, but he left a horse, and after flashing into the grove next to the official road, he suddenly turned around and rushed into the depths of the woods, blocking a figure in front of him.

The person opposite was dressed in a black robe and had a withered face, but it was not Liu Yingjie as she thought.

Xie Qingning was stunned for a moment before he took a few steps back vigilantly and asked, "Who are you?" Why follow us? ”

The man raised his eyes slightly, and a flash of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

It was only at this time that Xie Qingning realized that this person was not here to protect them, was he here to kill them?

But why did he do it? What is his purpose? In a flash of thought, she heard the old man say in a dumb voice, "Where are you taking you, child?" ”

Child? Xie Qingning was stunned and reacted, it turned out that he was from the Wu family? She looked at the other party secretly vigilantly, and only replied after a while, "Naturally, I want to take him to find a safe place and a home where he can live peacefully for the rest of his life." ”

"Home?" The old man was stunned for a moment, the cold in his eyes gradually dissipated, he covered his lips and coughed lightly, "Give him to me, I...... It was sent by his maternal grandfather. ”

"Grandfather? How do you prove it? ”

"The child's name was given by his maternal grandfather, his name is Wu Heng, and there is a red birthmark on his left rib, if you don't believe it, you can confirm it."

The old man's words made Xie Qingning suspicious, but he still took him to catch up with the carriage in front of him, took the child out despite everyone's surprised eyes, verified the birthmark on the left rib and asked with relief, "Are you here to pick him up?" But why follow us all the way? ”

The old man's gaze kept falling on the child, and his eyes gradually softened.

He took a few steps forward, his eyes fell on the sleeping child's face, and he made sure that he was sleeping very soundly before he spoke, "The old man originally planned to kill you, but he came all the way to see that you took good care of him, and he didn't do anything. ”

"What did you say?" Hearing this, Lan Zhihua's apricot eyes widened, and his expression was slightly angry.

Xie Huazhao also raised his sword eyebrows and said, "You old man, can you speak!" ”

Regarding their reactions, the old man was expressionless, as if they were all just transparent, and his gaze always fell on Xie Qingning's body, just waiting for her reply.

Xie Qingning couldn't hide the shock in his heart, and his hands and feet suddenly felt a little cold.

When she blocked the old man, she already felt that the strength of the other party was definitely much higher than her own, even if it was not at the level of Yuan Ying, it was at least the Great Perfection of the Dan, if he really planned to make a move, I am afraid that few of them would be able to survive.

Thinking that they were all living on the edge of a knife today, Xie Qingning deeply blamed himself for his carelessness.

She glanced down at the child, although she couldn't say how deep her feelings were for him, but after all, she rescued him with her own hands, so she was inevitably a little reluctant. But she knew in her heart that it was certainly better for this child to return to his grandfather than to survive in someone else's house.

"Since you are the child's relatives, I naturally won't be embarrassed, but I also ask the old man to tell the child that I will come to him again in eighteen years, after all, we are destined." Xie Qingning said as he sent the child to the old man, his expression quite solemn.

The old man didn't suspect anything, took the child and nodded at her and said, "Songzhou Mao County Guanfu, the girl can come to be a guest at any time, and our master will definitely be a guest." Leave. ”

Seeing him suddenly rise up, like a flying goose, arrogant like a frightened fly, completely different from his old face, everyone was dumbfounded for a long time, until the old man's figure completely disappeared into the woods before he reacted.

"The old guy has some ability," Xie Huazhao commented, but Lan Yongzhi rode close to Xie Qingning and said in a deep voice, "Why don't you deliver that thing together?" ”

Of course, Xie Qingning knew that he was referring to the treasure map and the jade pendant, but at first, she couldn't be sure if it was true or a trap set by Wu Fusheng, in order to lure them to go treasure hunting, but in fact, she wanted them to die there. Second, she didn't know whether Guan really cherished the child or coveted Wu's family property, and she didn't believe Guan until the truth was known. Thirdly, she felt that these things belonged to Wu Heng, and she just kept them for herself, so she had no right to hand them over, so it was better to wait for Wu Heng to make his own decisions when he became an adult.

Therefore, she shook her head and explained to everyone, her selflessness and kindness once again won everyone's appreciation, even Yanyu clapped her hands and said, "Our young lady is really not an ordinary person, she is not moved in the face of such a temptation, she really has a chivalrous demeanor." ”

Xie Qingning couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, this is a matter of principle of being a man, what does it have to do with chivalrous women?

However, everyone was relieved that the Wu family's children had found a home, and most importantly, without the drag of the children, their trip could finally be accelerated.
