The old man Wang, who was driving in front of him, had been listening to the two of them, and the conversation between the two had been listened to in his ears without a word, and when he saw that the two of them were silent, he said comfortingly, "After all, it is the elders, at most I will reprimand you, and the patience will pass." ”

Cheng Xi sighed when he heard this, and responded, "You don't know our situation, if you just reprimand us, it would be good, I'm afraid that we might as well die if we are tossed." ”

Old man Wang smiled when he heard this, and said, "You kid, what you said is so exaggerated, you are all relatives, how can you say that it seems that you have some deep hatred." ”

Cheng Xi thought about Xu Sanlang's situation with himself, and it was not easy to explain it to Uncle Wang in detail, so he sighed in his heart, kept silent and stopped talking.

Because of this topic, the atmosphere along the way was very dull, Cheng Xi didn't speak listlessly, Xu Sanlang was originally a taciturn person, Old Man Wang said a sentence from time to time, but he couldn't get a response from the two, and he felt bored, so he stopped talking and drove with peace of mind.

Because the weather is too hot, the ox cart is not too fast, and from time to time to rest in the shade, and when I arrived at the county seat, it was almost dark.

Thinking that he hadn't been to see Wang Ying for a few days, and the leave he asked for was only a day, Cheng Xi simply followed Uncle Wang to Kezhao's house, Xu Sanlang originally wanted to go back to the restaurant, but because of Uncle Wang's enthusiasm, he had to follow.

Since Xu Sanlang said something about his fourth uncle before, Cheng Xi has been very uneasy in his heart, if Xu Sanlang's fourth uncle really listened to Mrs. Xu's pruning and wanted to do something to her, what should she do?

Thinking about it, I can't think of a way, even if I want to escape from here, I have to go to the county government to open the way, the only way I can think of is to find a stronger backer than Xu Sanlang's fourth uncle, but I don't know a few people at all, where to find it? In the end, after thinking about it, I only thought of the Zhao family.

Although she also felt a little guilty about using the Zhao family like this, what could she do about her current situation? I only remember in my heart that I don't forget the kindness of the Zhao family.

During this period of getting along, Cheng Xi only knew that the Zhao family seemed to have some status in this county, and they didn't dare to provoke it easily, but this Zhao Ke was not in the county, and Mrs. Zhao Wang Ying was very low-key, and she rarely went out.

After today, Cheng Xi thought about simply asking Sister Ying to inquire about the situation of the Zhao family, anyway, now that she is familiar with Sister Ying, she should tell her.

But then Cheng Xi was disappointed, Wang Ying didn't know much about his father-in-law's family affairs, only knew that his father-in-law's family was in another city far away from Yuncheng, called Yuecheng, Zhao Ke's father because he was a concubine, he took his wife and children to leave Yuecheng to settle in this Anyang County, it is said that when Zhao Ke's father and mother were alive in the past, they would go back to Yuecheng from time to time, since Zhao Ke's father and mother passed away, Zhao Ke basically did not go back.

And what happened to the Zhao family in Yuecheng, and what happened to Zhao Ke in Yunfu City, Wang Ying basically didn't know.

Cheng Xi followed Xu Sanlang to stay at Zhao's house for dinner, and then returned disappointed, looking at Cheng Xi's listless appearance along the way, and showing a worried face from time to time, which made Xu Sanlang regret telling Cheng Xi about the fourth uncle, but if he didn't tell Cheng Xi, he was worried that he would suffer in the future because Cheng Xi didn't know the situation.

Thinking that it was a busy time to go back at this time, Cheng Xi was in a bad mood, so Xu Sanlang proposed, "I heard that the night market in the county is very lively, let's go shopping and go back." ”

Cheng Xi was a little interested when he heard this, and finally raised his spirit, his eyes lit up a little and looked at Xu Sanlang and asked, "What's in the night market?" ”

Xu Sanlang saw that the expression on Cheng Xi's face finally changed, and the expression on his face became a lot softer, stretched out his hand to pull Cheng Xi, and said while walking in the direction of the night market, "There are all kinds of snacks in the night market, and there are many fun gadgets." ”

"How many?"

……

The streets of the night market are very narrow, but they are very lively, Xu Sanlang has been pulling Cheng Xi, and carefully protecting Cheng Xi, who is a head shorter than himself, like a brother who feels sorry for his sister.

Cheng Xi excitedly pulled Xu Sanlang to linger in all kinds of stalls, no matter what he saw, he was full of curiosity, and asked Xu Sanlang on the side, if Xu Sanlang didn't know, he asked the stall owner, because Cheng Xi's lovely face and friendly smile can always please the stall owner, and patiently explain to Cheng Xi.

After shopping around the night market from beginning to end, Cheng Xi followed Xu Sanlang to the direction of the restaurant.

Because the time is not early, there are no people on the street, and even if there are people, they are all hurrying by with lanterns, and there are no lanterns for the two people, and there are lanterns hanging under the eaves of many shops and houses on the street, although they are not too clear, but they are not so dark that they can't see anything.

It didn't take long to walk into a small alley, and basically no one was there, and the surroundings were quiet.

In this strange place, Cheng Xi, who was not very bold, felt even more insecure, one hand was pulled by Xu Sanlang, and the other hand was still tightly grasping Xu Sanlang's arm, and Xu Sanlang walked forward.

Because he was a little scared, he was very vigilant, paying attention to the surrounding movements at any time, and then Cheng Xi suddenly stopped.

Xu Sanlang looked at Cheng Xi, who was holding his arm, and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" ”

Cheng Xi responded, "There is a voice in front. ”

Looking at Cheng Xi's frightened expression, Xu Sanlang pursed the corners of his lips and responded, "It may be that someone is passing by, let's go." ”

Cheng Xi grabbed Xu Sanlang's arm tightly, and the whole person hugged Xu Sanlang tightly, and whispered, "There is crying, I, I'm afraid." ”

Xu Saburo listened carefully and responded, "There's no sound, don't be nervous, let's go." While speaking, Xu Sanlang simply hugged Cheng Xi, who was only up to his shoulder, into his arms, and continued to move forward with Cheng Xi half hugged and half embraced.

When he walked a distance forward, Cheng Xi seemed to hear the shouting more clearly, and pulled Xu Saburo to stop, and said in a trembling voice, "You listen now." ”

Xu Sanlang also heard the voice, frowned slightly, pointed to the dark alley on the side, and said, "Let's go out from here." ”

Cheng Xi looked at the small alley where he couldn't see his fingers, and hurriedly shook his head and responded, "Let's go back." She was scared enough to walk through this dark alley, but she resolutely refused to go.

Xu Sanlang saw Cheng Xi's look of not leaving, so he had to compromise, "Okay." ”

The two of them turned around and walked in the direction they were going, but they found that the voice behind them was getting closer and closer, and it seemed to be a human voice, not like the whimpering horror cry before, Cheng Xi was not as scared as before.

Xu Saburo heard the voice behind him and said, "We have to leave quickly, so as not to get into trouble." ”

It's just that I didn't expect trouble to come out of a small alley next to them that they passed, a man in disheveled clothes and still injured on his body suddenly came out of the alley next to him, and rushed directly behind Xu Sanlang and Cheng Xi, and then three black-clothed people suddenly rushed out of the alley, and rushed directly towards Xu Sanlang Cheng Xi, obviously the target was the young man behind Xu Sanlang.

"Get out of the way." The few black-clothed people who rushed over seemed to be particularly anxious, seeing that the young man who had jumped out before was always around Xu Sanlang Cheng Xi, they couldn't catch it for a while, so they yelled directly at Xu Sanlang Cheng Xi.

Xu Sanlang didn't want to provoke these people, and was about to leave here with Cheng Xi in his arms, but one of the black-clothed people who didn't want to chase him out was very breathless, and stretched out his hand and waved directly towards Xu Sanlang Cheng Xi, wanting to catch people after waving the two of them.

The position where the black-clothed man's hand was waved was exactly where Cheng Xi was, seeing that the hand was about to wave on Cheng Xi's body, Xu Sanlang quickly reached out and grabbed the hand in time, and with a little force, the black-clothed man's face began to turn pale, and he said in horror, "Who are you?" ”

Xu Saburo saw that it was almost over, so he let go of the hand of the man in black and replied coldly, "Passing by." ”

Another man in black said, "If you pass by, leave quickly, don't meddle in your business." "It seems that they don't want to do much, either.

And the young man hiding behind Xu Saburo looked at Xu Saburo with bright eyes, and made up his mind that he must hold on to this thigh, he didn't want to explain here inexplicably tonight.

The young man still circled around Xu Sanlang and dodged the three black-clothed men who grabbed him, and said to Xu Sanlang, "Help me, I'll give you money." ”

Xu Saburo didn't want to get into trouble, even if he was short of money, he didn't want the money, and if he wanted it, he had to consider whether he had that life flower.

There seemed to be another voice in the distance, and among the three black-clothed people, one of the black-clothed men suddenly pulled out a knife from his waist, and rushed towards Xu Sanlang's side and said, "There's no time, solve it quickly." ”

Cheng Xi's eyes widened in fright, Xu Sanlang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he pushed Cheng Xi to the young man, and said, "Stand farther away." Then he met the three black-clothed men with long knives with his bare hands.
