Chapter 022: Daughter's Family
As Lu Qing said, after drinking the medicine, Xu Jinxiu quickly recovered.
When I eat at noon, except for my face is a little redder, it is no different from when I am healthy.
So, in the afternoon, Lu Qing took her to practice horseback riding outside the city.
Lu Qing taught very seriously, but the more serious he was, the more uncomfortable Xu Jinxiu felt in his heart.
She wanted to be perfunctory, but she was worried that if she didn't study hard, she would be delayed on the road, and what if she encountered any bandits again, what would Lu Qing do if she couldn't cope with it alone.
Eventually, she learned to ride a horse in the midst of this ambivalence.
Early the next morning.
Lu Qing and Xu Jinxiu continued to rush to Chiye County on a horse.
Along the way, Lu Qing was still that taciturn, which made Xu Jinxiu lose his temper a few times.
Lu Qing naturally didn't know what was going on in her daughter's family, she only thought that her relatives were here, and she didn't bother with her.
In this way, two days later, Lu Qing and the others finally arrived in Chiye County.
This is a much more developed county than Ningbei County, and it can be felt from the city wall that is nearly 20 zhang high.
The closer he got to the county seat, the happier Lu Qing became, after all, the bodyguard mission was finally successfully completed, but he also found that Xu Jinxiu seemed to be becoming more and more silent.
"Miss Xu, aren't you happy to meet your family soon?"
Lu Qing couldn't help but ask.
He already knew that Xu Jinxiu's maternal family was Chiye County.
"I'm happy."
Xu Jinxiu smiled reluctantly.
Lu Qing was slightly strange when he saw this, and he didn't think much about it.
Moments later, the two entered the county seat.
"Lu Darttou, let's get off the horse and go."
Xu Jinxiu suddenly jumped off the horse and said to Lu Qing.
"Why?"
Lu Qing asked strangely.
"Because...... I remember that the county guards seemed to prohibit people from riding horses in the county or they would be fined. β
Xu Jinxiu thought for a while and replied.
"Oh, that's right."
Lu Qing nodded and jumped off the horse.
At this moment, Lu Qing heard the sound of horses' hooves, turned his head to look, and saw several teenagers on horses galloping out at the corner of the street.
Xu Jinxiu: "......"
The sound of horses' hooves rises, and the sound of horses' hooves falls.
At this moment, she only felt that her cheeks must have been as rosy as if they had been trampled by these horses.
Lu Qing naturally saw Xu Jinxiu's embarrassment, he didn't think much about it, smiled and gave her a step, and said, "It seems that Miss Xu hasn't come back for a long time, and the rules of the county town must have changed." β
"Well, it must be, it must be."
Xu Jinxiu smiled busily and responded to Lu Qing's meaning.
"Then let's ......"
Lu Qing pointed to the horse.
"Then let's ride."
Xu Jinxiu glanced at the direction where the horseback riding teenagers had just gone, and replied to Lu Qing.
And so, a moment later, the two came to a large mansion.
This mansion is extraordinary, the gilt plaque of "Xu Mansion" is hung on the vermilion lacquer gate, a pair of mighty stone lions at the door, and there are majestic men wearing black suits standing on both sides of the door.
After seeing Xu Jinxiu on a horse, a strong man's eyes suddenly lit up, and he took two steps forward quickly, and asked in surprise: "Miss, you are back!" β
"Well, fifteenth brother, I'm back."
Seeing the familiar person, Xu Jinxiu finally showed a smile on her face.
"Quick, go to Mrs. Tongyu, and say that Miss is back!"
The big man who was called the fifteenth brother by Xu Jinxiu hurriedly shouted to the other person.
At this time, he also noticed Lu Qing on the side.
Xu Jinxiu opened his mouth and introduced: "Fifteenth brother, this is Lu Qing who escorted me all the way, Lu Darthead. β
"I've seen Lu Darthead!"
The fifteenth brother rushed to Lu Qingyi and hugged his fist: "The road from Qingping Town to Chiye County is dangerous, thank you Lu Darttou for taking care of Miss." β
Seeing that the fifteenth brother, a janitor, spoke so decently, Lu Qing didn't dare to underestimate the other party, and hurriedly dismounted to greet him.
While speaking, Lu Qing listened to the sound of footsteps in the Xu Mansion.
Immediately, the vermilion lacquer door opened from the holes on both sides, and a graceful woman in luxurious clothes took the lead to come out, looking at her appearance, she was somewhat similar to Xu Jinxiu.
"Xiu'er, Xiu'er, is that you?"
After seeing Xu Jinxiu, the noble woman shouted with tears in her eyes.
"Mother!"
Seeing the luxurious woman, Xu Jinxiu's eyes were also red and she threw herself into the other party's arms.
"Good boy, good boy, do you know you're back!"
The luxurious woman hugged Xu Jinxiu and said: "It's been two years, and I haven't even written a few letters, but I want to die as a mother!" β
After a while, Xu Jinxiu got up from her mother's arms, and when she saw Lu Qing looking at her with a smile, she couldn't help blushing slightly, and took her mother's hand and introduced: "Mother, this is Lu Qing Lu Dart Head of Changfeng Dart Bureau, if he hadn't protected her all the way, my daughter would have suffered an accident a long time ago." β
The noble woman was taken aback when she heard this, and hurriedly looked Xu Jinxiu up and down, and only then did she breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that she was fine, and thanked Lu Qing: "Lu Darttou, thank you for taking care of the little girl, for bothering you." β
"Madame is polite, escorting the safety of the employer is the responsibility of my Changfeng Dart Bureau, and I dare not say anything."
Lu Qing said with his fists clenched.
"That being said, thank you for your hard work."
Mother Xu opened her mouth and said, "Lu Darttou, I would like to express my gratitude, and invite you to come into the house to eat some water and wine." β
"Thank you, ma'am, but not necessarily."
Lu Qingwan refused: "I have to return to Qingping Town as soon as possible, so I won't bother." β
Hearing this, before Xu's mother could say anything, Xu Jinxiu was anxious first, and said, "Lu Darttou, it's just the time of a meal, and it won't delay your tripβright, mother?" β
It turned out that halfway through her speech, she noticed that people were looking at her and busily changing the subject.
"Yes, yes."
Mother Xu glanced thoughtfully at her daughter, then at Lu Qing, and said with a smile: "Lu Darthead, eat a meal without delaying time, and please don't shirk Lu Darthead." β
"This ...... All right. β
Seeing that Mother Xu said this, Lu Qing couldn't refuse, so she had to agree.
"Little Fifteen, you take Lu Dart to the guest room to rest first."
Mother Xu commanded the big man on the side.
"Yes, Lu Darthead, please."
The fifteenth brother stretched out his hand to Lu Qing.
Lu Qing nodded and followed the fifteenth brother into the Xu Mansion.
When Lu Qing walked away, Xu Mu said to Xu Jinxiu, who was still looking at Lu Qing: "People are going to turn around, will your eyes also turn around?" β
"Mother!"
Hearing Xu's mother's ridicule, Xu Jinxiu blushed with shame.
Mother Xu shook her head, didn't leave the topic on Lu Qing, grabbed Xu Jinxiu's hand and walked towards the house, and asked, "Xiu'er, tell your mother, what happened along the way?" β
Hearing this, thinking of the dead Xiaocui, Xu Jinxiu recounted what happened in the past few days with red eyes.
After listening to her daughter's narration, Xu's mother first comforted Xu Jinxiu with a few words, and then instructed the housekeeper to inform her family of the news of Xiaocui's death, and they sent a hundred taels of settlement money.
Subsequently, Xu's mother asked Xu Jinxiu: "Daughter, do you mean that this young dart master actually killed Ma Yin, who was practicing tendon realm?" β
