"Don't be impulsive." Huo Erhuai hurriedly stepped forward to pull her.
"Why was I so impulsive? I'm going to ask them how they raised their children and scratched my son like this! I want them to give me an explanation. I can't let it go like this!"
"You are confused. They are officials and we are citizens. What good can we do if we come to your door?"
Huo Erhuai was also very angry, but with his status, how could he reason with the Hou Mansion? Should he be sent to his door to be killed?
"Then let's forget it?" Seeing Nian'er in her arms, holding on to her lapel, crying until she hiccupped, Yang felt so distressed that she almost pouted.
The children she raised had been smiling since childhood and rarely cried. When did they become so wronged and cry like this?
The couple held back their anger, hugged Huo Nian and kept coaxing her.
Huo Xi glanced at them and sighed, what else could he do? He fell down on the deck.
The thin clouds on the horizon floated here and there, looking one way at one moment, and another in the next moment.
Just like life, the four seasons are different.
Zhang Jie, Zhang Biyao, Wu family, Xiaohou Ye? It’s really great. The Xincheng Hou Mansion belongs to your mothers.
You have to ask me, the eldest daughter of Yuan's wife, if I agree. Even if Nian'er and I don't want it, we will never let Mrs. Wu and you guys get it.
Huo Nian was left on the ship by Huo Erhuai and Yang.
The couple stopped fishing and receiving goods. They were just happy with Huo Nian. They rowed the boat wherever Nian'er said they wanted to go. If they wanted to net fish, they would net fish. If they wanted to lay shrimp pots, they would put shrimp pots.
I went fishing for peach blossom mandarin fish, no matter how far I went.
Huo Xi and Yang Fu were worried about the little boy and went back and forth between the shore and the boat every day.
On that day, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and the uncle and nephew were walking to the ferry each carrying a basket of food.
The two of them each carried a lantern. Yang Fu murmured as he walked: "It's late today. I wonder if your father and mother are still waiting for us at the ferry? For some reason today, those foot shops closed early? Not even one of them.
I can’t even hire a car.”
Huo Xi was also puzzled. As he walked, he looked in both directions. He saw that the surrounding areas were dark and quiet, and he couldn't help but shudder.
I'm afraid of the sudden silence.
He kept talking and said: "Yes. We agreed to go back, and my parents will be waiting no matter how late. But it's so late, and I'm worried that dad will come out to look for us. If we miss it, we will have to look for dad then."
"Then let's go quickly."
Going to the outer city ferry, there is a section where there are no households, and there is a barren slope around it, covered with shrubs half as tall as a man.
"Xi'er, don't be afraid." Yang Fu came over and held her hand.
Huo Xi didn't dare to look either way. She rarely walked this stretch of road so late at night. The bushes on both sides made some noises from time to time, which could make people's hearts contract.
"Uncle, I have to tell my parents from now on that as soon as it gets dark, don't wait for us. We will stay in the city."
"Okay. Don't be afraid. There is an uncle here."
The two of them were talking and walking hurriedly towards the ferry.
After walking forward for a while, suddenly there was the sound of swords clashing in front of them.
"uncle!"
Huo Xi was so frightened that she held Yang Fu tightly with her hands. Yang Fu's hands and feet also softened and started to tremble: "Quickly, blow out the lantern!"
The two of them blew out the two lanterns, "Xi'er, let's run back quickly!"
"We can't run away. If we run away, we will definitely be discovered. What if someone comes again on the way and finds us and silences us?"
"What should we do?"
"Let's hide here, don't move, don't make a sound."
In the darkness, they hid well, so they were not easily noticed. The two hurriedly hid themselves in the bushes. They untied the basket and lay on the ground, not daring to move.
I just hope that A will kill B, or that B will kill A quickly, and then leave quickly, so that they can return to the ship.
It's really scary. The world is clear and the world has been peaceful for too long. How could you have expected that you would encounter a plot of vendetta?
Feeling that the sound was getting closer and closer, the two of them were so scared that they didn't even dare to breathe. It was a cold spring, and the night was very cold, which scared them all into a sweat.
"Master, leave quickly!"
Mu Yan was stabbed several times, but he gritted his teeth and persisted.
There are twice as many dead men tonight than last time, and even with the addition of Gan San Kun Si, they still can't cope. It seems that only Jun Mingzhang's two legs were not enough last time.
The man in black rushed over. Mu Yan jumped up, swung his sword and cut his throat directly without any hesitation.
Huo Xi was stunned. She was very sensitive to sounds, and she could hear Kan Er's scream.
"Xi'er?" Yang Fu also heard it, and with the sound of the knife striking, he leaned into Huo Xi's ear and said, "It seems to be that Kan Er?"
Huo Xi nodded, carefully raised his neck, and opened the bushes to look over there.
The moon was dark and the wind was high, the sound of swords clashing could be heard very clearly, and shadowy figures could be seen, but they could not be seen clearly and one could not tell who was who.
"Xi'er, what should I do?"
Yang Fu was brought up by Yang Shi and Huo Erhuai, and like them, he is a warm-hearted person. When he sees someone he knows is in danger, he can't stand still.
What should I do? Mu Fu is a good partner and cannot afford to make any mistakes. What’s more, let’s get acquainted. What should we do?
Huo Xi was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. It was one thing not to be able to see him, but he would not let it go if he pretended not to see him.
Thinking about the wine and tung oil in their baskets, my eyes lit up.
"Uncle, can you throw it over such a distance?"
"It's a bit far away. Let's go a little further."
The two cautiously walked forward for about ten steps, then walked into the bushes, and carefully looked over there. Fortunately, a fierce battle was going on there, and they were not found.
The two of them hurriedly looked for wine baskets and tung oil among the baskets.
He also pulled out the grass branches around him, entangled them together, and dipped them into tung oil. He dipped about ten handfuls in tung oil, lit them with fire sticks, and then threw them towards the fighting place without paying any attention to them.
He threw it once and then threw the wine basket over there. The wine was thrown over and fell to the ground. When it hit the fire, it burst into flames.
Clusters of fire exploded.
The two waves of people were unprepared and their hands and feet were disrupted. There were many people in black, and a few of them were caught by the torches thrown by Yang Fu. Their bodies immediately caught fire. They were busy putting out the fire, and their positions became chaotic.
Mu Yan and others glanced at Huo Xi and couldn't see the situation clearly, but they also knew that someone who wanted to fight against was helping them, so they immediately cheered up and their offensive became more fierce.
Several men in black rolled to the ground and were busy extinguishing the fire on their bodies. Mu Yan and others jumped at them and struck a blow.
"Let's go!" Seeing that the situation was defeated, the few remaining men in black jumped around and walked away cleanly.
"Stop chasing." Mu Yan called back to Qian Sankun Si.
He glanced at the ground and said, "Take care of it."
"Yes." Kan Er and others responded. It is impossible for the young master to hand over people from the southwest to the government. If they are caught, the result will not be what they want to see.
Mu Yan signaled to Li again, and Li nodded, jumped up and down, and quickly landed in front of Huo Xi and Yang Fu.
Just as he was about to say thank you, his eyes widened when he saw it: "It's you."
"Brother Mu."
The three of them quickly arrived in front of Mu Yan.
