Chapter 318 Guardian
He cheered up, jumped down from the treetops, and headed in the direction where the man in black disappeared.
The golden-armored guards who had been hiding near the Xia family also passed messages to each other and followed closely behind them one by one.
The door of the Mo family's wing suddenly opened.
A young man in a moon-white brocade robe stepped out and looked up at the treetops in the distance with a complicated expression.
Behind him, Xiao Yong said hurriedly: "Your Highness, please go down and have a look."
"With so many people following her, nothing will happen."
"But..." Xia Yong looked ugly.
Your Highness, if she is the Jade-faced Immortal, she is Fan Shan’s masterpiece. At such a critical moment, her every move may affect their next plan.
"Your Highness..." Xiao Yong said, wanting to remind.
But as if Ji Zimo knew what he was thinking, he closed the door and said, "There are still a lot of troubles over there. Go and hold another lamp. I will finish it today."
Because he will be very busy in the coming days.
Xiao Yong had no choice but to turn around and follow the instructions.
Ji Zimo turned around and looked at the full moon on the horizon through the window, unable to regain his consciousness for a long time.
Xu Shi thought about many possibilities, and finally returned to the table and began to review the notes.
Perhaps, because of her sudden action, he felt uneasy.
He stared at a piece of paper for a long time, and suddenly realized that he was too affected by her, so he forced himself to calm down and continued to work attentively.
After leaving the gate of Xia's house, Xia Qianqian jumped onto the country road and walked quickly along the road covered by weeds.
When she arrived at the Fu'an River, she slowed down a little.
There is a full moon above the head, and under the gentle breeze, there are occasional sounds of frogs chirping and insects in the fields.
She closed her eyes slightly, feeling the silence in the air. The wind passed by her ears, and she heard a slight movement in the wind.
It's the sound of footsteps.
Although she has never practiced martial arts, she is gifted with sensitive facial features.
Someone is following her.
Xia Qianqian suppressed the fierceness in her eyes.
There are often unknown people near Xia's house, lurking in secret.
This is something she has known for a long time.
She was born free and did not want to be monitored, but after being assassinated again and again, she gradually understood some truths.
The surveillance she thought was probably a kind of protection.
She doesn't need this awkward protection, but Niang and Yuanbao are powerless. If they encounter danger and cannot protect themselves, these people are their chance to survive.
Therefore, I know that these people are probably cuttlefish.
She also chooses not to see or hear.
But today, when she went out to do something, these people swarmed after her, making it difficult for her to get anything done.
With a roll of her eyes, Xia Qianqian dodged and hid behind a big tree.
Using the secret of the tree trunk, she released a moth-sized drone from her wishful bracelet, and took the time to operate it on the control panel of her mobile phone.
The moth flapped its wings and flew high, heading straight towards Fanshan.
As the moth flew to the boundary of Fanshan, a high-altitude aerial view of Fanshan appeared on the screen of the mobile phone.
Xia Qianqian was overjoyed and clicked quickly on the screen to set various parameters, adjust the direction and flight mode, etc.
Originally, she was unwilling to use too many modern things in ancient times.
But now, in order to help him, she doesn't care so much anymore.
The controllable range of this moth drone is limited, and she does not know the specific distance between Fu'an Village and Fanshan.
Therefore, just in case, she had no choice but to come to the riverside and get as close to Fanshan as possible to prevent the moth from getting too far away and losing control.
Now, looking at the distance indicator displayed on the phone screen, she finally felt relieved.
Very good!
Fan Shan is within the patrol range of the moth, so even if she is in the village, she can control it as she wishes.
Xia Qianqian noticed that the aura around her was getting closer and closer. She set all the parameters and quickly put her phone into the Ruyi bracelet.
Ignoring the man hiding in the bushes and trees, she walked along the country road toward the cotton field.
Under the moonlight, a dark shadow stood on the ground.
He was a tall man with a shovel in his hand, standing motionless facing the cotton field.
At first, Xia Qianqian thought it was a scarecrow.
After all, at this hour, who would stand stupidly on the ground, not moving at all.
She had a lot of thoughts in her heart.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she approached, the scarecrow suddenly turned its head, and under the bright moonlight, a pair of dark eyes stared at her angrily.
"Who is it?" As he spoke, he picked up the shovel and pointed it at her, threatening: "If you dare to take a step closer, see if I don't prick you?"
Xia Qianqian was startled, and when she took a closer look, she turned out to be Liu Erniu from the west end of the village.
"Liu Erniu, why are you here?"
She waved to him, "I'm Xia Qianqian, please don't be rude."
She is not afraid that he can hurt her.
She was only afraid that if he hadn't taken action yet, the secret guards around him would take action and injure Liu Erniu.
Hearing the familiar voice, Liu Erniu frowned and said, "You are the wife of the head of the village."
Wife!
Bah bah bah!
Liu Erniu may have decided that her name was his wife.
Last time, she had warned him not to call her random, otherwise she would beat him.
But a fool is a fool after all. What he remembers on the front foot, he forgets when he turns around.
I'm afraid the previous warning will be useless to him.
Xia Qianqian was too lazy to explain, "What are you doing standing in the field, catching pheasants?"
Some pheasants are blind and run down from the mountains by mistake at night, running around in the fields without finding a place to stay.
"I'm guarding this field."
Under the night wind, the leaves of cotton seedlings flutter in the wind, like layers of endless waves.
"Why should we protect this field?"
Liu Erniu is used to being lazy and doesn't do any work in his own fields on weekdays, but he voluntarily came here to guard the fields.
"I helped plant this land. I want to watch it grow and bear fruit. I want my mother to make a big cotton-padded jacket for my daughter-in-law to wear. In this way, she will not be cold in the winter."
Oh my god!
Xia Qianqian was speechless for a moment.
When such touching love words are spoken from the mouth of a fool, you will not feel blasphemed, but will be impressed by his sincere attitude and pure emotions.
Xia Qianqian smiled slightly and said: "Go home. At night, the cotton seedlings also have to sleep. If you stand next to them, you will disturb them."
Liu Erniu tilted his head and said in confusion: How could it be? I haven't said anything."
"You didn't say anything, but the elves guarding them are very excited and are afraid of seeing people. If you stand here, they won't dare to come at all."
"Then I..." Liu Erniu believed Xia Qianqian's white lie, picked up the shovel, and whispered: "Then you also go home, quietly, don't scare them..."
He gave up his bad habit of dragging the shovel and making a harsh sound. Instead, he put the shovel on his shoulder and ran home briskly.
Xia Qianqian followed him all the way back.
