The first thousand five hundred and sixty-nine chapters teach a man to fish
She couldn't help but worry.
The target of the bandits is her, not Grandpa or Zhou Liang.
"Grandpa, just listen to Brother Wuming!" Zhou Mengmeng begged.
Master Sanku was too lazy to pay attention to her anymore and left with his toad pipe behind his back.
After he left, Xia Qingchen said: "Mengmeng, your own destiny should be decided by yourself."
"Then what should I do?" Zhou Mengmeng frowned.
Xia Qingchen said: "Just hide it before the bandits come."
"But if they can't find me, the bandits will kill grandpa to vent their anger!" Zhou Mengmeng waved her hands quickly.
Xia Qingchen smiled meaningfully: "Don't worry, your grandpa is fine."
Ai?
"You still say good things for my grandpa? He has already done this to you." Zhou Mengmeng said to fight the injustice.
Xia Qingchen smiled slightly: "Your grandfather saved me and brought me back to recuperate. It's too late to be grateful, so why be resentful?"
"As for the stables, isn't Mengmeng well-kept?" Xia Qingchen said, "It's no worse than inside the house."
His generosity made Zhou Mengmeng fond of him.
If it were an ordinary person, being treated like this, he might regard his grandfather as his enemy.
It should be noted that there are few grateful people in the world and many haters.
"Thank you, Brother Wuming, for your understanding." Zhou Mengmeng smiled and took care of him wholeheartedly.
Time flies by.
Master Sanku leaves early every day and comes home late every day. He doesn't know what he is doing. When Zhou Mengmeng asked, he didn't mention anything.
Zhou Liang, on the other hand, was extremely attentive and almost never gave Xia Qingchen and Zhou Mengmeng a chance to be alone together.
Whenever Master Sanku was not around, he would stay at home and watch Xia Qingchen's every move.
Xia Qingchen didn't care much, and silently nursed his injuries while "juggling" for Zhou Mengmeng.
Five days passed.
Thanks to him opening up two more inner spaces, his physique has made a qualitative leap.
Kamui's injuries have finally been relieved for the most part, and he can now get out of bed and walk, but his movements must not be too violent.
"In two more days, the injury will be healed." Xia Qingchen estimated secretly.
Calculating the time, he was first chased by Yue Zun for three days, trapped in Shenxu for seven days, and then rested for five days, which took half a month.
I'm afraid the outside world thinks that he has fallen at the hands of Yue Zun, right?
The hell gate is about to move, what is the current situation?
Half a month is enough time for the outside world to undergo earth-shaking changes.
"Brother Liangliang, go back, grandpa will be back soon." Zhou Mengmeng was a little worried.
Tomorrow was the time for the bandits to arrive. Xia Qingchen suggested that she prepare to hide in the back mountain tonight and wait for the bandits to leave before returning.
But Zhou Liang has been squatting here, and she has no chance to leave.
"Why are you going back? Your grandfather and I agreed that we are not going to leave tonight." Zhou Liang said.
Zhou Mengmeng suddenly panicked, with a look of anxiety on his face: "Who allowed you to stay! Leave quickly!"
If he doesn't leave tonight, it will be impossible for Zhou Mengmeng to leave quietly.
Zhou Liang didn't notice that Zhou Mengmeng's expression was wrong, and said seriously: "The bandit said he would come tomorrow, but he might come to ask for someone in the middle of the night. I will stay here to take care of him."
In order to prevent the strong men and unmarried women from escaping, bandits often raid in advance.
Many times they come to ask for help in the middle of the night.
Zhou Mengmeng bit her lips and was about to ask Xia Qingchen for help when Master Sanku came back with his hands behind his back.
"Liangliang, come here and help grandpa move things to Longtan?" Master Sanku waved.
Zhou Liang hesitated: "But Mengmengmei..."
"The bandits won't come now, at least at night, right?"
Zhou Liang was obviously not worried about this, but whether Xia Qingchen would do anything to Zhou Mengmeng.
However, after looking at Xia Qingchen's body that was so weak that he could barely walk, he reluctantly left with Master Sanku.
It wasn't until they were far away that Zhou Mengmeng looked excited and quickly dug out the prepared bundle from the straw pile in the stable.
There were clothes and five days of dry food inside, which was enough for her to hide outside for a long time.
"Brother Wuming, let's go together." Zhou Mengmeng said.
Xia Qingchen smiled: "I won't go, the bandits are not looking for me."
"Okay." Zhou Mengmeng thought for a while and said, "I'll hide in Xipo Cave in the back mountain. Let me know when the bandits leave."
"Pay attention to safety." Xia Qingchen said.
Zhou Mengmeng nodded deeply and turned around to leave.
She really couldn't rest assured about her grandfather's safety.
If the bandits come and find that she has left, will they do anything to grandpa?
With anxiety in mind, Zhou Mengmeng left.
Xia Qingchen was lying in the haystack, closing his eyes and resting. In fact, in his current state, he could leave.
However, we have to wait until the bandits are dealt with.
Two hours later.
The moon was sparse, Zhou Liang stepped on the dew and hurried back. He was worried about Zhou Mengmeng all the way.
Sankuye followed leisurely, his expression very calm.
"Sister Mengmeng!" Zhou Liang pushed open the courtyard door and found Xia Qingchen lying in the stable. He was slightly relieved, but the room was completely dark, so he couldn't help shouting worriedly.
After several times, there was no sound. Zhou Liang's heart skipped a beat and he quickly rushed in.
But as a result, there was no one inside.
He was surprised and said: "Master Sanku, it's bad! Mengmeng sister is missing!"
The strange thing is that Sankuye's expression was relatively calm at first, and after a while he showed a surprised look: "Oh, it's gone!"
Doesn't that expression and attitude look like what a granddaughter should look like when she's lost?
It's like losing someone else's granddaughter.
Zhou Liang was so anxious that he caught a glimpse of Xia Qingchen from the corner of his eye. He immediately rushed forward and grabbed her sleeves, shouting: "Where is Sister Mengmeng? What did you do to her? Tell me!!"
He almost roared, not to mention worrying.
Xia Qingchen didn't hide anything and wrote lightly: "Hiding."
What?
This made Zhou Liang so angry that he clenched his fists and punched Xia Qingchen in the face: "Lie!"
Xia Qingchen tilted his head slightly and easily dodged his fist.
Then his body shook slightly, and Zhou Liang's palms were shaken open like an electric shock.
He didn't notice anything was wrong. He picked up a piece of wood and was about to do it, but Master Sanku stopped him by shouting: "Meng'er is indeed hiding. Her underwear and dry food in the house are gone."
Zhou Liang felt relieved, but his anger could not be calmed down.
He stared at Xia Qingchen fiercely: "How can such an obedient child as Meng Mengmei hide alone? You are the one instigating me, right?"
Xia Qingchen's face was expressionless: "I just told her that she should decide her own destiny instead of leaving it in the hands of others."
"It was her own decision to hide."
It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish.
Letting Zhou Mengmeng understand that her own destiny is in her control will be a great asset to her in the future.
"Didn't you instigate it?" Zhou Liang carried the wood and yelled viciously: "Tell me, where is Mengmeng hiding? Don't say you don't know!"
