Because the scene was too terrifying and bloody, everyone was too busy to take care of themselves, so no one noticed what Qiao Xuan had done.

When a sonorous footsteps sounded, Qiao Xuan had already sat back beside Xi Yan.

The official sent the man in black to be tied up and taken away, leaving the jailer with a booklet to register the information of the dead man from cell to cell.

"She was hacked to death!" Xi Yan's face turned pale, as if she was still in fear, and she muttered in her mouth.

Facing a killing in person, Qiao Xuan was also a little depressed, but she still comforted Xi Yan softly, "It's okay!" It's already in the past, don't think about it. ”

The next morning, Qiao Xuan and Xi Yan were released, and the person who complained about them was dead, and the yamen was in a mess because of last night's incident, so they didn't have time to deal with them.

"Xiaoyan, Miss Qiao" The anxious flame in Xi He's eyes was extinguished after seeing the two of them.

He learned the news of the arrest of the two from the villagers of Taoyuan Village who came to the town, "Are you all right?" Have you ever been troubled? ”

Qiao Xuan shrugged his shoulders and said that he was fine.

Xi Yan's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and she even choked up a little when she spoke, "Brother, I'm scared to death!" It scared the hell out of me last night. ”

Seeing that she was about to talk about last night, Qiao Xuan tugged at her sleeve and reminded, "Say it in another place!" "It's not a good place to talk about these things on the crowded streets.

Xi He patted Xi Yan on the shoulder, "You wait for me for a while, and I'll hire a car to take you back to the village." ”

Xi Yan knew that her family was now poor, and her brother sold the tavern to pay back the money, and it was estimated that there were not many copper plates on his body, so she opened her mouth and wanted to stop it, but Xi He quickly disappeared through the crowd.

The two stood in place and waited for a while, and Xi He came over in an ox cart, driven by a short and thin man, who nodded to Qiao Xuan and Xi Yan to say hello.

Xu was because there were outsiders, Qiao Xuan and the others didn't say anything all the way, and the ox cart slowly drove the three back to Taoyuan Village.

After arriving in the village, the villagers who met along the way saw Qiao Xuan coming back again, and looked at them a few more times with different expressions, but no one came up to talk.

After the ox cart left, Xi He stood at the door of Qiao Xuan's house, looking at the dilapidated thatched house, and his eyes were stained with a little guilt.

Qiao Xuan's life was not easy after Qiao Bo left, and their family should have taken her to the town at the beginning, he thought.

"The conditions are a bit rudimentary!" Qiao Xuan scratched his face and said.

"It's my Xi family who is ashamed of Miss Qiao," Xi He bowed his head and said in a sincere tone, "I will do my best to take care of you in the future." ”

He meant that he recognized the marriage contract, Qiao Xuan understood his words, and he was speechless for a while, not knowing what to say.

is a handsome gentleman, extraordinary spirit, if you continue to study in the future, it is difficult to guarantee that you will not have a big career, but unfortunately because of changes in the family, I dropped out of school and found a class to become a worker.

Not long after the three of them walked in, Xi Yan shouted, "My things are gone!" ”

"What did you lose?" Qiao Xuan hurriedly asked.

"A few copper plates that my brother gave me last night, and a few hairpins that my mother gave me" Xi Yan flipped around on the bed, "I put it under the pillow when I left, and now it's gone!" ”

She's about to cry! This period of time was simply unlucky, so she wanted to buy a piece of tofu and died.

"Don't look for it, someone stole it!" Xi He stared at a pair of black mud footprints behind the door and said.

His heart was full of worries, and he didn't feel at ease about letting the two of them live here, but there was no other way to do it at the moment.

Qiao Xuan also saw the footprints, which were wide and large, and they looked like an adult man.

"Why don't I do the math for you and see if you can get it back?" Seeing Xi Yan's sad appearance, she couldn't help but ask.

"No need! If you lose it, you will lose it, and the things that were taken away will be dirty when you get them back, Xiaoyan don't ask for it" Before Xi Yan could speak, Xi He took the lead.

Xi Yan bit her lip, her eyes moistened, and nodded.

Qiao Xuan didn't say anything more when she saw this, Xi He's worries she knew that the villagers in this village were indeed rude, and he was thinking about their safety.

"We have one of the three rooms here, and we clean our own."

"Thank you Miss Qiao for taking you in" Xi He solemnly saluted Qiao Xuan, there are many lovers in the world, and there are very few people who send charcoal in the snow.

After the three of them cleaned up, Xi He took out six cold meat buns from his bag, two for each person.

After Qiao Xuan finished eating, he went to rest.

The two brothers and sisters of Xi He talked in a low voice in the courtyard, and Xi Yan babbled about what happened last night to Xi He.

After finishing speaking, Xi Yan was quiet for a while, and thought of the group of villagers who came to the door yesterday, "Brother, the villagers here are really fierce!" ”

"Both young and old look snarky, as if they can do it with someone at any time."

Xi He's thin lips tightened into a line, his deep eyes were full of coldness, and his bony slender fingers rubbed the hair of his sister.

"Give my brother some more time, and I'll get you out of here."

His voice was low and good, but it made Xi Yan feel remorse and red-eyed again, she added a burden to her brother, her brother was already difficult, she shouldn't be a burden to her brother.

"I believe in my brother!" She said softly.

"Everything will pass, and the days will get better," Xi He said quietly, as if he was saying it to his sister and to himself.

Outside the courtyard, one or two villagers walked by from time to time, and their eyes did not shy away from looking at Xi He and Xi Yan, brothers and sisters.

Occasionally, a few ill-intentioned glances fell greasy on Xi Yan, and the frightened Xi Yan hid behind Xi He.

A touch of patience flashed on Xi He's handsome face, and he said to Xi Yan in a warm voice: "Go back to the house!" I went to the mountains to cut some wood and repair the house and surround it around. ”

"Brother, I'll go with you!"

Xu knew that Xi He would not be in the village for long and would have to go to the town to be busy, Xi Yan cherished the time with him, and she didn't want him to be burdened alone.

In the past, Xi He was a dedicated reader at home, and it was the hope of the whole family, where did he do such rough work.

"Not necessarily! You obey and go back to the house. ”

Xi He pushed his sister into the room, picked up an old axe in the courtyard and went out.

Qiao Xuan was woken up by a clanging sound, she rubbed her eyes and sat up from the bed, and walked for a while before leaving the house.

The two brothers and sisters of the Xi family were busy working, and there was a pile of horizontal and vertical wood in the small courtyard.

"You're awake! My brother said that he repaired the broken place," Xi Yan explained with a smile after seeing Qiao Xuan.

"Is there anything I need to do?"

Qiao Xuan scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly, it seems that people have been busy for a while, and they are sleeping a lot, so it shouldn't be.
