Xia Xueyan stomped her feet and said,
"Laugh at me again!"
Xia Buyan grabbed their hands and placed them together as he said,
"From now on, this family will depend on the two of you. Who's cooking tonight?”
"I'll go!"
After Xia Xueyan left, Xia Qianxing
"Uncle, are you really at ease with Yan 'er sending the escort alone? She has trained hard in martial arts these past few years and has made some progress. However, she is still a woman after all. Moreover, I think this matter is very strange."
Xia Buyan said.
"I've already thought of someone to send her a escort."
Xia Qianxing asked curiously.
"Who is it?"
Xia Buyan said.
"Yang Fan!"
Xia Qianxing was shocked.
"Who is it? That Yang guy? How can you believe him!"
Xia Buyan said slowly.
"Xing 'er, we should trust him the most now. Believe me, if Yan' er is in danger, he will definitely sacrifice his life to save her."
Xia Qianxing was puzzled.
"Why?"
Xia Buyan smiled and said,
"Guilt and love"
Xia Qianxing frowned.
"But Yan 'er won't agree."
Xia Buyan said.
" That's why I'm not going to tell her yet. When this matter is confirmed, I'll let Yang Fan appear directly on the day she leaves. You're at your father-in-law's house picking up your wife and children, leaving me alone. She can't possibly quit, right?"
Xia Qianxing was speechless after hearing this and could only say,
"You're really…really…the older the wiser…"
Xia Buyan smiled proudly. Ever since the family declined, his uncle had become more cheerful. Xia Qianxing understood in his heart that this man who was not good with words his entire life was using the method that he was not good at to support this family. In Xia Qianxing's heart, this was a man, this was a hero, this was his direction.
……
The night was curfew, and there was no one in the alleys. There were occasional lights in the low houses by the roadside. Xia Qianxing stepped on the flickering lights and walked forward hesitantly. He reached the door of a house and raised his hand hesitantly before knocking on the door. Not long after, someone opened the door and saw him in shock.
"Big Brother Xia? Please come in, it's been a long time since you've visited my house."
This person was Lei Yin. He moved sideways to give way, but Xia Qian did not move.
"Do you still acknowledge me?"“
Lei Yin said,"Of course, you will always be Lei Yin's big brother."
Xia Qianxing,"Then I'll ask you for a favor. Are you willing to agree?"
Lei Yin said,"What's the matter? If I can do it, I'll do it."
Xia Qianxing,"I want to ask you to protect me for a dart."
"What dart?"“
Xia Qianxing said,"My younger sister Xia Xueyan, she wants to send a escort from a thousand miles away. I hope you can ensure her safety."
Lei Yin looked troubled. The Datong Escort Agency could not do without him. Xia Qianxing suddenly knelt down.
"I beg you, Thunder Dart Head!"
Lei Yin quickly helped Xia Qianxing up.
"Big Brother Xia, what are you doing? I'll agree to your request. However, this is my private matter. I can only come alone."
"That's enough, thank you."
After he finished speaking, he left without giving Lei Yin a chance to say goodbye. He looked at Xia Qianxing's back and felt a lot of emotions. This man with a firm and unyielding character actually knelt down. Even if he didn't agree, he had to agree. However, you have to tell me when to set off. Lei Yin shook his head and smiled bitterly, thinking,'Forget it, I'll go find Yanzi and ask him myself tomorrow.'
……
In the tender and cold new year, the sky is dark and the spring worries are rising. The clear snow falls on the ground like cicada wings and disappears. On the street, there are children playing happily. One of them sees the distant guests laughing and welcoming them.
"Where do the guests come from?"
"Far away!"
"Are you here to entrust me with something?"
"Looking for someone."
"Who are you looking for?"
Before anyone could tell him, the child was hurriedly carried away by his master. Because it was snowing, the child was still childish and there was a broken chopper at his waist.
"Brother, who are we going to find?“
"My benefactor!"
"The old man who saved your life?”
"Yeah," she said.
Each of them held a girl's hand and gradually walked away.
According to the address in the letter, Yang Fan found Xia Buyan's door and after knocking on the door, Xia Buyan hurriedly let the two of them in. Yang Fan nodded and said,
"Hello, Villa Head Xia!"
Xia Buyan used his finger to cover his mouth and shushed Yang Fan as he asked in confusion.
"This…isn't your house?"
Xia Buyan lowered his voice," Of course it is. This old man doesn't want Yan 'er to know."
Yang Fan smiled sadly and said,
"I understand. What can I do for you?”
Xia Buyan said.
"This old man wants to entrust Yan 'er to you. She wants to escort you for a while. She will be gone for a year. I hope you can take care of her on the way."
Yang Fan said with a slightly troubled expression,
"I…Did she agree?"
Xia Buyan said.
"I haven't told her yet. She has no choice but to agree."
Yang Fan said.
"This isn't very good…"
Xia Buyan said.
"This old man has repeatedly thought about it. You are the best candidate. There is nothing else but you."
Yang Fan looked at Xia Buyan and said,
"Really?"
Xia Buyan stroked his beard and said,
"Yes, we really can't afford to hire people now. You won't take my money, right?"
Yang Fan was speechless,"No…No…No way!"
Xia Buyan nodded and said,
"That's good, that's good. Come here tomorrow at seven."
Yang Fan nodded and replied,
"Alright," she said.
Xia Buyan said.
"I'll entrust Yan 'er to you. If you encounter any unhappiness on the way, I hope you can forgive me."
Yang Fan lowered his head and said "En" before leaving with the girl.
Under the tree, the figures snuggled up to each other, and stardust scattered in the sky.
…
The scattered morning fog floating in the air slightly eased the awkwardness of the two people. These two people were Xia Xueyan and Lei Yin who were dressed in mourning clothes. Both of them hoped that they would be able to leave as long as they had enough hair but Xia Buyan had made them wait for an important person. Suddenly, a resolute gaze broke through the fog and he tightened the mourning belt around his waist and adjusted his mourning clothes. When he saw the crowd waiting, he went up to welcome them. Chen Qingmi was also dressed in white. She bowed to Xiong Zhengying and said,
"Young Master Xiong!"
Xiong Zhengying said.
"Yes, I made it in time. I took your dart. You still have an ingot of gold, right?”
Chen Qingmi nodded. Xiong Zhengying stretched out his hand and said,
"Hand it over. With me protecting you, this trip will definitely be foolproof."
Chen Qingmi wanted to take out the gold but was stopped by Xia Xueyan.
"I've already agreed to this. What else do you have to do?"
Xiong Zhengying smiled and said,
"This is the business I received first before I introduced you to him. Besides, I didn't say that I wouldn't accept it. He's the person who entrusted the goods. He can find as many companies as he wants."
Xia Xueyan said to Chen Qingmi,
"Don't believe him. This person doesn't have any ability and will only get in the way."
Xiong Zhengying said.
"You two women and a man must have a lot of inconveniences. There are always some benefits to having one more person, right?”
Chen Qingmi said.
"Since Young Master Xiong is willing to help this little girl, I am naturally overjoyed."
After saying that, he hurriedly handed over the gold.
Xiong Zhengying put the gold in his pocket. Xia Xueyan saw that his words were slightly disdainful and said,
"Uncle, you didn't make us wait for half a day for this person, did you?”
Xiong Zheng Ying was also curious in his heart, I didn't tell anyone about my arrival this time, could it be that Xia Buyan could predict the future?
Xia Buyan said.
"Of course not."
Xia Xueyan said,
"Then who is it?"
Xia Buyan smiled and said,
"You'll know when you get here."
In a moment, two people walked out of the fog, and Xia Xueyan's heart froze.
Xia Buyan said.
"Brother Yang, you're here!"
Yang Fan nodded and said,
"Well, I don't think I can bring my sister along with me ~ So can I…"
Xia Buyan said.
"Yan 'er's room is empty, let her stay with me."
Yang Fan nodded his head in thanks and said to the girl beside him,
"Little Red, remember, you have to listen to this grandpa and don't cause trouble for him, understand?"
Xiao Hong held back her tears
"Brother Yang, Little Red doesn't want to leave you. Don't leave Little Red behind."
Yang Fan said.
"I'll come back to pick you up after I'm done."
Xiao Hong grabbed Yang Fan's arm tightly instead and said,
"I won't! I don't want to be separated from you."
Yang Fan shook her off and said sternly,
"Be obedient!"
Xiao Hong stood still and cried,
"Sister Hong asked you to take care of me. Don't you want Little Red anymore?"
Yang Fan stared at her and said,
"I told you that I would come back to pick you up after I was done, okay?!”
"You're a big bad guy!"
Xiao Hong wiped her tears and was comforted by Xia Buyan as he said,
"Brother Yang, don't worry. This old man will take good care of her."
Yang Fan: "Thank you."
She looked at the crowd and the coffin at the side in confusion. Chen Qingmi had originally relied heavily on Xia Qianxing and when she found out that Xia Qianxing had something on and could not accept this escort, she felt uneasy but Xia Buyan told her that she had found a more trustworthy person and when she saw that Yang Fan was not as valiant as Xia Qianxing, her heart fell even more and she continued,
"This is a cover-up. My husband is inside. Thank you for your hard work."
Yang Fan glanced at Chen Qingmi and only replied with an "oh".
Although Yang Fan was rude, Chen Qingmi felt much more at ease. Those who had many talents would not speak much. She guessed that this person must have something extraordinary.
Yang Fan thought that he was only here to protect Xia Xue Yan, and the others had nothing to do with him. He still asked,
"Then should I wear it too?"
Xia Buyan said.
"There's no need for you. There should be a coffin cart at home for the funeral. Alright, everyone is ready. Let's go. On the way, you must support each other and help each other."
Xia Xueyan cupped her fists and said,
"Yan 'er, farewell. Uncle, take care."
Xia Buyan nodded his head and Lei Yin, Xiong Zheng Ying and Chen Mi Qing also bid farewell to Xia Buyan. After that, Yang Fan pulled the coffin and Xia Xue Yan led everyone away. Xia Buyan originally thought that Xia Xue Yan would have some complaints and when he saw Xia Xue Yan not saying a word, he said in relief,
"Yan 'er has grown up."
……
The group of people passed through the mountains and ridges for more than a month without incident. It was just that the days were a little tough. When they walked to this unknown barren mountain ridge, not even a bird or beast was thirsty. When they were hungry, they could only pick wild fruits to satisfy their hunger and thirst.
"When will I be able to walk out of this damn place? I shouldn't have accepted this darn escort! Xiong Zhengying said in annoyance,
Xiong Zheng Ying sat cross-legged on the coffin and used his sleeves to block the spring breeze that washed his face. Yang Fan was sweating like beans as he pulled the coffin cart.
"If you can't take it, then go back quickly. Don't drag us down, Miss Xiong…" Xia Xueyan said disdainfully.
"What are you talking about! Xia Xueyan!" Xiong Zhengying said angrily,
Lei Yin went to Yang Fan's side and said to him,
"Brother Yang, let me take your place. If this continues, you won't be able to take it."
"No need."
Yang Fan wiped his sweat and said. Suddenly, he stopped. There were some tree forks in the middle of the road. He was about to move them away when Xiong Zhengying shouted at him.
"Hey! This isn't something that can be moved casually. It's a formation to stop tigers everywhere. Leave gold, leave silver, and don't leave your life. Just wait."
Lei Yin hurriedly said in a suppressed voice,
"Hurry up and leave!"
Xiong Zhengying woke up
"Where are you going?“
A woman in green dress and green clothes with a black veil on her face came down from the top of a tree and blocked the way with a sword
" I've finally waited. I didn't open this road and I didn't plant this tree, but I'm the one who chopped and moved the fork. If you want to cross this path, you have to leave money."
Her voice is tender like a new willow, green like a yellow oriole
Xiong Zhengying thought to himself.
Lei Yin saw that this woman was as young as jade and cupped his fists." Miss, we're not merchants or officials. We're just commoners passing by. Please have mercy on us."
The woman snorted." You want to lie to me? You clearly know this array. Otherwise, why did you stop here for so long? You must be escorts."
Lei Yin said," Miss, you have good eyes. We are indeed escorts. This has been a habit for many years. It's just that this time, my father is sick and has a wish to return home to be buried. We will follow my father's will and return home."
The woman said,"You don't look sad, but you say that your father has just died."
Lei Yin said sadly,"We were too sad to remember, and our wounds were too light."
The woman said,"Is that so? Then open the coffin and let me have a look."
Lei Yin smiled apologetically,"Miss, you must be joking. How can my father's coffin be opened so easily?"
Xiong Zhengying was already impatient and said,
"Go away, go away, wild girl. We don't have time to play with you."
The woman said.
"I'm not playing around, I'm serious, I want to rob the escort!"
Xiong Zheng Ying was about to make things difficult for the woman when she was stopped by Chen Qing Mi. She walked up and bent down to the woman with a faint smile.
"Little girl, did you come alone?"
The woman said,"Yeah, just me."
Chen Qingmi said.
"Why did you come out to rob us?"
The woman thought for a moment and said,
"Yes, I want to do something bad."
Chen Qingmi smiled as she turned around and nodded at everyone. Xia Xueyan and the others were also amused by this answer. Chen Qingmi said to the woman,
Alright, you're right, little sister. We're indeed escorting. You're really smart."
