Xia Niechen nodded and said goodbye. Hong Zhao watched him go away. He was so pure here alone that he couldn't help but feel distracted.
Although she was disrupted by a sudden accident, she and her wet nurse had to stay here. However, they still had to entertain the aunt. So, while they had nothing to do, they served her some food.
Dried fruits and pastries are good for killing boring time and filling your stomach.
Hong Zhao himself was not idle, sitting on a stool at the door so that he could always observe the situation outside. To be honest, asking him to find Xiaoya was not as relieved as she seemed. Logically speaking, he should be the one to stay.
Come down and take care of the wet nurse, and go find Xiaoya yourself.
But even so, she was not completely unconcerned about leaving the wet nurse to him. Besides, in these troubled times, she had to be cautious. Therefore, she could only hope that Xia Niechen would live up to her expectations and get the wet nurse as soon as possible.
Retrieve Xiaoya so that he can reunite with everyone to avoid more trouble.
As time goes by, the streets are busy with traffic, and the crowds that used to be bustling are now very few. There are only scattered people packing up their stalls and getting ready to take a nap.
Hong Zhao looked at the mountains above his head, and saw the two people disappearing. Gradually, he felt uneasy.
He stared at the lady opposite him with unpredictable thoughts, thinking again and again and decided to wait a moment.
However, a quarter of an hour of long waiting has passed, and there is still no sign of them.
Unable to hold himself back, Hong Zhao finally stood up and hurriedly walked to the aunt, his expression solemn and solemn.
The aunt was dumbfounded by what she did, and a little panic arose in her heart.
"Miss, what are you..."
"Auntie, please relax, I don't have any ill intentions, but I have to take some protective measures as a last resort."
"Safeguard?"
The aunt was stunned for a long time, and while she was savoring it carefully, her face suddenly turned green and white, and her eyes were red with fear.
"Could it be that someone is trying to harm our family? I'm just an ordinary little demon who has never offended anyone. Why did I end up in such an unreasonable disaster?"
"Mother, you have such a rich imagination. Before I even said anything, you thought of your own safety."
The corner of Hong Zhao's mouth twitched as he couldn't laugh or cry. Let's not talk about it. The aunt's thinking is quite quick, which is unexpected.
"Xia Niechen and Xiaoya haven't come back yet. I'm a little worried. I want to leave something with you before leaving, just in case. You don't have to be afraid, I will ask the shopkeeper to accompany you. Trust me,
We'll be back to pick you up soon."
"Oh... So that's it. I thought my life was in danger. You didn't even finish your words, you just scared me for no reason."
"…………"
Hong Zhao was so embarrassed that she couldn't refute. Considering her age, she didn't care much about it. Instead, she lowered her gaze and stepped forward to cast a beam of light in front of her forehead.
"This beam will be used to protect you when someone tries to do something bad to you. At the same time, I, who is far away, will also be aware of it and will rush over as soon as possible to protect you.
.”
"I, I understand, it's hard for Miss Hongzhao to put herself in my shoes. It's getting late. You should go find those two children quickly, otherwise it will be even harder to find them once it gets dark."
