The woman and the children ate the noodles and regained some strength, and the first thing they did was to kneel down and thank He Mai and Zhong Xiangsi.

He Mai was shocked, hurriedly picked up a woman and child, and said, "Get up! What do you guys do here? ”

The woman with the most sallow face was already in tears, and sobbed and said, "Thank you for saving us!" If it weren't for you, I'm afraid Xiaobao and I would have been locked up in that dark place until we died, or like those sisters who were dragged out, I don't know where we were being sent...... When the time comes, I am afraid that it will not only be my life that will die, but also the children who will suffer with my hard life......"

As she spoke, she pulled the arm of the little girl beside her again, knelt down towards Hemai together, and kowtowed heavily.

She said to the child: "Thank you Sister Heroine yet!" ”

The little girl looked only five or six years old, her face was dirty, only a pair of eyes emitted a dim light, and she obediently kowtowed to He Mai, "Thank you, Sister Heroine, for saving me and my mother!" ”

Not only the mother and son, but also several other women and children, saw this and knelt down one after another, thanking He Mai and Zhong Xiangsi.

He Mai and Zhong Xiangsi felt very uncomfortable, Mu He in their arms had just been more than a month, but sometimes it was just a moment of separation, which made them unbearable, not to mention these mothers and sons who had experienced countless dark days and nights inside.

I am afraid that the fear of death is buried deep in their hearts, and it will take a long time to let go.

He Mai and Zhong Xiangsi helped the women and children up one by one.

He Mai asked, "Where are your hometowns?" ”

One of the women wiped tears from her eyes and said, "My husband used to fight as a soldier in the former Fengcheng, and later died in the battle with Donglin. My children and I had no choice but to go back to our parents' house to join our relatives, but on the way we met the wicked woman of this small village. When she saw us orphans and widows, she began to be very enthusiastic about us...... I thought she was a kind-hearted eldest sister who met a good person, so I thought about taking the child here for two nights...... Who knew that as soon as I came to this small village, I would never be able to get out......"

He Mai sighed and said thoughtfully: "So, you are a person from the Great Zhou?" ”

The woman nodded, "Yes, we are all from the Great Zhou, and most of these sisters are also from the Great Zhou. ”

Another woman answered: "Not long after we came to this little village, I was drugged unconscious, and when I woke up again I was in that cellar, and I have been locked up for seven or eight days...... I was originally going to see my seriously ill sister, but after such a delay on the way, I'm afraid my sister has already ......."

Before she could finish her sentence, she was replaced by a burst of crying.

Many of the women are in an urgent situation at home to take their children home, who knows that they are not ladylike, obviously in a hurry, and they encounter such a thing on the road, they can't help but feel sad and angry, and they cry one after another.

As He Mai talked to the women, Rokuro returned to the courtyard with a handful of firewood and a package of food from outside the door.

He took the food from the carriage, but the expression on his face was a little weird, and he hooked his hand to Hemai and called her out.

"Daddy must have been in the carriage." Rokuro said in a deep voice to He Mai.

He Mai felt strange and asked, "Since Dad has just returned to the carriage, why is the person missing at this time?" ”

Rokuro shook his head and said, "I only saw the carriage passing, but after looking around, I couldn't see him, and I don't know where he went." ”

He Mai frowned, already a little restless in his heart.

Yan Xing has been away for so long for no reason, and they have made such a big disturbance in the village, and they haven't seen him show up, so I'm afraid it won't be an ordinary departure.

It's just that at this time, it is dark and there is no direction everywhere, even if they want to find her whereabouts, they don't know where to start.

He Mai couldn't help but hesitate, at this time, seeing that the sky was bright, it was about to dawn, but Yan Xing still didn't know his whereabouts, which told them what to do!

Zhong Xiangsi in the room obviously noticed that what they were talking about was for Yan Xing, and walked over with a frown.

"Your dad hasn't been found yet?" She asked.

Rokuro replied in a low voice, "Not yet." Fang saw the traces of my father's visit next to the carriage, but I didn't find my father's footprints later. ”

"This old thing, where did he run in a pinch! Didn't he know that there were pursuers behind us? Our current identity is a fugitive, and he is no longer the general of White Night City. Zhong Xiangsi couldn't help but complain.

She was really angry in her heart, so she scolded her husband in front of the juniors.

But he only complained a little bit, and then he came to his senses and immediately realized something.

"Your father probably found out something, so he left. He's not the kind of guy who leaves without saying a word. Mai'er, Liulang, now pack your bags, report to Muhe, let's go on the road. Zhong Xiangsi commanded decisively.

He Mai was surprised, everything is in a mess right now, Yan Xing has not been found, where can they go?

"Mother, what should I do with my father?" asked He Mai worriedly.

Zhong Xiangsi shook his head at her and said, "Don't worry. After all these years with your father, we always have our own set of codes, and I will make some marks in this village for a while, and if he turns back, he will naturally know where we are going, and if he follows the direction and route, he will definitely find us, rest assured. ”

He Mai breathed a sigh of relief, hugged Mu He in his arms, and was about to turn around and go back to pack their bags.

Just as the three of them were about to return to the house, they suddenly saw a person running at the entrance of the village.

The footsteps were heard by Zhong Xiangsi, she suddenly turned her face, squinted at the man, and suddenly shouted: "Yan Xing, where are you dead!" ”

The person who came back was none other than Yan Xing.

He Mai and Rokuro breathed a long sigh of relief, and finally put their minds at ease.

Seeing Yan Xing come back unscathed, he was really happier than anything else.

Yan Xing ignored Zhong Xiangsi's scolding and ran towards them quickly.

When he walked up to them, He Mai saw the solemnity and righteousness on Yan Xing's face.

"Dad, why are you here?" He Mai asked.

Yan Xing didn't care about explaining anything else, but glanced back hurriedly and said, "The chasing soldiers are coming, let's quickly hide here!" ”

He Mai was shocked, and Liulang also gasped, "The pursuers are coming, how can they catch up?" ”

Yan Xing shook his head heavily, "I'm afraid it was exposed when we were entangled with that headhunter surnamed Song before." ”

Zhong Xiangsi scolded: "I knew that the surname Song was not a good thing, and it would be better to kick him to death at that time." ”
