Chen An froze in place, silent for a long time.

Because he didn't know how to answer the little girl's question.

When he rescued the only little girl who survived, he felt endless self-blame in his heart.

But in fact, he doesn't need to blame himself at all, from the perspective of passers-by, he is also blameless, after all, not everyone can be like him, who can be so great that he is not afraid of life and death to rescue a pair of strange mothers and daughters from a group of robbers under the knife, in modern society, he is a well-deserved hero.

So, why should he blame himself?

He really did his best, he was not to blame for the death of the little girl's mother, the culprit of all this tragedy was entirely the bandit leader, and why did he bother to punish himself for the mistakes of others?

Now that he has made himself not like a man, and a ghost is not like a ghost, is the source of everything out of self-reproach in his heart?

It can be seen from this that he doesn't care much about the little girl herself, just like saving people for the sake of saving people.

Perhaps the little girl saw this, so she questioned him.

Experiencing the pain of losing her mother, and hearing that her father may be a traitor to the country for glory, you can imagine the pain and sorrow in the little girl's heart, and now the only thing she relies on is Chen An, but Chen An's attitude once again stabbed the little girl's heart, so it is no wonder that she suddenly lost control of her emotions.

"And what do you want me to do?"

Chen An opened his mouth hoarsely, he couldn't give an answer, he could only say such specious words.

"Uncle...... Please care about Yaoyao, okay?"

The little girl bit her lip, tears slid down her immature cheeks like pearls with broken threads, and looked up at Chen An's back with a sob.

“...... Good. ”

Chen An turned around, walked silently towards the little girl, and then gently took her into his arms.

The little girl could no longer contain her emotions and began to cry.

......

The carriage began to slowly move in the direction of Xinzhou, leaving behind a tragic scene of corpses and devastation in the quietly flowing river.

The next day, Pang Shaoyuan led a cavalry squad to the riverbank, he looked at the flies in front of him, the smell of corpses in Hanoi was silent for a long time, and after a while, the soldier in charge of surveying the scene covered his nose and came back to report to him.

The twenty-three members of the Salt Gang, including Chen Qing, all died in this nameless river.

Hearing this result, Pang Shaoyuan only felt a piercing chill in his heart in the hot dog days, and he looked at the other side of the river in the distance, and his heart was mixed for a while.

It turned out that he and Chen Qing were both blind, who would have thought that Chen An, who didn't seem to be amazing, would be such a peerless murderer.

The same thing is on Pang Shaoyuan, he can't run, how can he be stupid enough to face Chen Qing and others head-on, but Chen An not only met it, but also killed everyone who caught up, this courage, this fierceness, this strength, how not to make people tremble.

It's a pity that he is bound to face endless troubles next.

For example, Chen Qing has always been extremely protective of his shortcomings.

Xuanwu Sword Gate.

Because the Xinzhou they are going to has a branch of the Xuanwu Sword Gate.

He had better pray now that Chen Qing's death did not flow to the Xuanwu Sword Gate branch in Xinzhou in time, after all, Xinzhou is an important station of the Xuanwu Sword Gate in the north, and there are a large number of masters in the faction.

At this moment, Chen An and the little girl, who had not yet realized the crisis, had arrived in Anyang County, on the border of Xinzhou, and after staying in Anyang County for a night, they heard that there was a reliable dart shop in the local area, and Chen An immediately came to the door to express his intentions.

This is the largest dart shop in Anyang called Yiyou, which belongs to the family-style dart shop, and is well-known in the entire Xinzhou.

Treating Chen An, a rare patron, Yiyou Dart Company was particularly cautious to send more than ten escort personnel, and the dart head is the younger brother of the head of the dart company, an old dart head with very rich experience in darts, said to be old, in fact, the other party is only about forty years old, and the remaining young dart masters are mostly his nephews and nephews.

The dart head is surnamed Li, and he is friendly and humble in dealing with people, reflecting the good cultivation of a senior dart master.

Under the escort of Yiyou Dart, Chen An and the others quickly left An*** According to Li Darttou's judgment, if there is no accident on the road, they will be able to arrive at Yongping Mansion, the seat of governance in Jiangzhou, in about ten days.

Along the way, Chen An seemed to be silent, and occasionally asked Li Daotou some meaningful questions, most of which inadvertently involved Jiangzhou and Tang Xuanfu.

Li Darttou is an interesting person, under normal circumstances, he will not disturb Chen An at will, if Chen An asks a question, he will know everything, and when Chen An is silent, he silently retreats.

In the future, whether it is staying in a sharp store or sleeping in the wild, Li Darthead can take care of all this very well, and there is no need for Chen An to worry about it, which alone proves the value of hiring a dart escort.

It took about three days for them to finally leave the boundary of Xinzhou, and not long after entering Qizhou, Li Darttou took the initiative to come to the door to disturb Chen An. According to Li Darttou's statement, in Xinzhou planted the flag of their righteous friend dart line, the nearby robbers and bandits will give a thin face not to rob the road, but from Qizhou it will be very different, for the dart line from the field, these robbers and thieves will not have the slightest politeness, most of the money to buy the road is indispensable, pay the money to buy the road, the robbers and thieves will retreat, very few robbers and thieves will directly start a conflict with the dart shop, after all, the robbers and the dart shop are the same for money, so there is no need to end up in a lose-lose situation.

The meaning of Li Dart's words was very clear, there was no need to be afraid of robbers and thieves on the road, they would deal with it properly.

After all, there was a young girl among the people they were escorting, and the little girl couldn't stand being frightened, so it was best for an adult to do a good job of comforting her in advance.

Chen An understood this, and then he handed over the carriage to the people who operated the dart, and he rested in the carriage with the little girl.

This is the first time that Chen An has traveled with the little girl in the carriage, which undoubtedly makes the little girl who has been listless on the road a little more excited, but Chen An's indifferent attitude inevitably gives people a strong sense of alienation.

"Uncle, don't you like to laugh?"

After Chen An got into the car, he closed his eyes and sat quietly, and the little girl stared at him for a long time before asking faintly.

"I can laugh, but I can't. ”

Chen An opened his eyes and looked sideways at the little girl.

"Is it because of me and my mother?" said the little girl softly with her big round eyes.

“...... Maybe. ”

Chen An raised his head and looked at the swaying roof in a daze.

"Yaoyao doesn't blame her uncle now, and I believe that my mother won't blame her uncle in the spirit of heaven, so, uncle, please don't be sad, okay?" said the little girl who stretched out her hands and hugged Chen An's arm tightly.

“...... Good!"

Chen An looked down at the little girl, and a faint smile gradually appeared on her numb face.
