Late at night, the moon was bright, the old man's pleading voice was like an alarm, and several families around poked their heads out to see the excitement, and even more walked directly to this side, as if they wanted to persuade them, and some people were sneaking to report to the official!

Xiao Ning'er pushed away Qin Lan's protective arm, moved closer to the old man, and shouted in a voice of disbelief, and the old man hadn't recovered from his fright, as if he had been savoring for a while, before he took his eyes off Qin Lan and looked at Xiao Ning'er!

Qin Lan felt that Xiao Ning seemed to know the old man, and then the hand that grabbed the old man was released, and the old man hung in the air and landed, stumbling and almost falling!

Xiao Ning'er hurriedly supported the old man, the old man raised his head tremblingly, looked at Xiao Ning'er carefully for a while, and his voice trembled, as if crying!

"Ning'er? Are you Ning'er? Is it really Ning'er? ”

It seems to be talking to himself, and it seems to be pursuing Xiao Ning'er's affirmation, and he keeps asking!

"It's me! I'm Ning'er! It's great to see you here! Is there anyone else in this? ”

"I'm really sorry to interrupt the two of you, it's getting late, why don't we find a quiet place to sit down and have a good chat, this person has a lot of eyes, I'm afraid there will be some trouble!"

Qin Lan saw that the two of them knew each other, and saw that many people had gathered around him, interrupting the acquaintance of the two, and hurriedly pulled the two of them to the inn in front!

The old man knew how powerful Qin Lan was, so he hurriedly agreed and walked forward on his own! Looking back at Xiao Ning'er from time to time, her eyes were full of tears!

When he arrived at an inn, the shopkeeper was busy greeting him, and before he could speak, Qin Lan pulled Xiao'er upstairs and told him to hurry up and go to the room, and then prepare something to eat!

The shopkeeper was accustomed to this kind of scene, and took Qin Lan and the others to a guest room at the end of the corridor, and after opening the room, he withdrew from the room with a smile on his face.

Qin Lan closed the door tightly, then turned around and beckoned the two to sit down at the table, the old man should have been bullied and afraid, so he waited for Qin Lan to sit down before he dared to sit slowly against the table.

With his miserable appearance, Xiao Ning'er was very distressed when she saw it, and she sat down next to the old man, but the strangeness that she hadn't seen for many years made the two of them unable to speak for a while.

One is that when I was a child, I vaguely remembered that I was an elder, and with the devastation of the years and the current situation of despair, it was like a different person, only the face still had some resolute expression.

After more than ten years of baptism, a little girl who has grown from less than half a person tall to a slim girl, and the changes are so great that people dare not know each other.

The three of them sat like this, silent for a while, and it was Qin Lan who broke this embarrassing situation first.

"You haven't seen each other for many years, you must have too much to say, I'll go see if the dishes are ready, you talk first!"

After saying that, Qin Lan bowed to the two of them, and the old man quickly got up to salute back, and then Qin Lan turned around and walked out the door.

"Third Miss! Where have you been all these years! Are you doing well? ”

Qin Lan stood at the door and heard that the two had finally opened the first topic, and walked downstairs satisfied.

"Xiao Er, have you eaten well! Just prepare some, I'm already hungry! ”

"This man, I'm really sorry! You came in a hurry, our chef has already sent home, just called someone to call, it's really not so fast! If you are in a hurry, I will prepare some cold vegetables and braised pork for you to serve on the steamed buns, can you see it? ”

"It doesn't matter! Hurry up and prepare, I'll be on my way tomorrow! ”

"Gotcha! This lord, you will come later! ”

With that, the little two turned around and walked into the kitchen, and after a while, he walked out with a tray.

"Is this master still waiting? Shall I serve it to you? ”

"Leave it to me!"

Qin Lan walked to the door of the guest room with food, the sound of the two crying could be vaguely heard inside, Qin Lan coughed lightly, and after a while, the old man came over, opened the door, and welcomed Qin Lan in.

Putting the food on the table, Qin Lan beckoned the two of them to sit down again, and then had a general understanding, just now Xiao Ning'er told the old man about his experience for more than ten years, and when he passed away, he couldn't help but be sad, and the old man also regretted that he couldn't thank Xiao Ning'er for taking care of him in person for more than ten years!

Qin Lan immediately asked:

"Mr. He, how did you end up here? Is there anyone else in Xiao Mansion who survived? ”

The old man frowned, looked at Qin Lan, then glanced at Xiao Ning'er, and sighed deeply.

"That year, Liaozhou City was turbulent, and the big and small families were ready to move, our Xiao family adhered to its duty, and was always unwilling to stand in line and not participate in the struggle between the two major forces, but who would have thought that it would be regarded as a thorn in the side of the victorious! After they wiped out the others, they killed them directly! ”

Xiao Ning'er was still young at that time, and she didn't know why the family was involved in any disputes, but she remembered that there was a fire and wails everywhere!

"That day, I was sent by the head of my family to go to another place to purchase some resources that were choked by the fight between the two parties, and I just came back! Who knew that the Xiao family was already in ruins, full of corpses, except for the people who went out with me, I don't know if there are any people alive."

Speaking of this, he looked at Xiao Ning'er again, and suddenly stood up excitedly.

"Now that I know that Miss is still alive, there is still hope for the Xiao family in the future!"

After speaking, the old man may feel a little out of place, and sat down stupidly, and then Qin Lan asked:

"Then the gentleman will not be reduced to this, will he, what about the people who went with you to purchase?"

"Young Master Qin! We had just returned to the house that day, looking at the mess, although we didn't know what was going on, but we probably guessed that we wanted to collect the bodies of the Xiao family's tragic death, but we never thought that the news of our return was reached to their ears again. Originally, more than 20 clan relatives and disciples who went out with me to purchase, and when we escaped from Liaozhou City, there were still six people left when we fled here, and one of them also died of serious injuries and left us in the near future! ”

"What about the other four?"

Seeing that Qin Lan asked the question in her heart, Xiao Ning'er also looked at the old man expectantly.

"That's right! Right! Right! You must meet them, Miss Three! Although they are not the direct blood relatives of the Xiao family, they are also the clan relatives of the Xiao family, and they can be regarded as the only remaining roots and seedlings of the Xiao family in addition to you! ”

"So where are they?"

"Sorry! I'm sorry! As soon as I saw the third lady, I thought that there was hope for the Xiao family, and I was a little carried away with excitement for a while, they were outside the town, because we had to be incognito, so we all did some odd jobs to make a living, and today the old body was also dismissed because of old age, a little depressed! But God opened my eyes and let me meet Miss Three again, Miss Three, I will go back and let them come to see you! ”

As he spoke, he was about to rush out the door! Qin Lan grabbed the old man, hurriedly got up and said to the old man:

"It's getting late today, Miss Ning'er and I are really tired from rushing here, so why don't you pack these foods and go back with a few Xiao family relatives, how about we go to visit together tomorrow?"

The old man was still a little hesitant after hearing this, but seeing that Xiao Ning'er also nodded, and then it was not good to excuse anything, Qin Lan called the shopkeeper, packed some meat and steamed buns, sent the old man out, and agreed to go to their residence together the next day!!

After sending the old man away, Xiao Ning'er introduced to Qin Lan why the old man's name is Chengjiang, because the Xiao family attaches more importance to bloodline, although he is extremely conscientious, but because he is not surnamed Xiao, he can only serve as the deputy head of the Xiao family.

When he was a child, He Chengjiang also loved Xiao Ning'er, because although he loved him, he also put himself in the position of master and servant, and never had any excessive actions towards Xiao Ning'er, and he was a real loyal servant!
