Chapter 311 Not Afraid
Just by the moonlight, Lu Qiyan could see that this village was not small, but quite poor.
There are almost no neat houses with blue bricks and blue tiles. Most of them have walls made of wheat straw mixed with yellow mud. Most of the roofs are made of wheat straw piled together, which looks extremely low.
But in a village like this, vigilance is quite strong. When a stranger enters the village, a young man patrolling at night rushes to him with a shovel, "Who is he!"
Lu Qiyan handed over his hand, "I'm here to look for someone. I wonder if I saw two young ladies passing by here?"
"No!" The young man waved his hand directly, "No outsiders have come to our village, let alone the young lady you talk about. You should leave quickly, otherwise don't blame us for being rude!"
"Yes, don't blame us. You're welcome! Leave quickly!" The other person waved the hoe in his hand, trying to drive Lu Qiyan away.
Lu Qiyan did not act, but looked at Wu Jin.
After Wujin continued to sniff, he barked "woof woof woof" several times at the village.
That means passing by here.
Lu Qiyan nodded and looked at the two young men who were angry at this time. "I'm really here to find someone. I'm just passing through here. If you are worried, you can follow me. I promise not to do anything extraordinary."
"That won't work. Grandpa Li Zheng said that no one can enter the village after nightfall!"
"That's right, who knows who you are! Get out of here!"
What if they were bandits and they cooperated inside and outside, wouldn't they want to massacre and rob the entire village?
We absolutely cannot release people into the village!
Lu Qiyan was silent when he saw this.
The people living here have experienced wars, bandits, and even disasters. They only want to survive and are sufficiently wary of anything in the outside world. It is reasonable to be wary of him as an outsider at this time. things.
But...
It’s important to find someone!
Lu Qiyan winked at Wu Jin. Wu Jin understood and walked directly in following the scent of Xia Mingyue and Zhuang Cui that he smelled.
Lu Qiyan followed behind.
"Stop!" The two young men hurriedly stopped him. The shovels and hoes in their hands hit Lu Qiyan's body, which made the horse jump and neigh in shock.
While calming the horses around him, Lu Qiyan just tried his best to avoid conflict with the two young men.
But the neighing of horses and the shouts of two young people broke the tranquility of the night. Households that had extinguished their candles lit their lamps at this time, and people rushed in one after another. out.
Check the news, pick up the handy guy, and join the two young men to expel Lu Qiyan.
Seeing more and more people, Lu Qiyan couldn't resist, and shouted to Wu Jin, "Wu Jin, hurry up!"
If you are in the village, find the specific location as soon as possible, if not, leave quickly.
Wu Jin understood and sniffed the scent a little faster. He changed from a slow walk to a trot, but finally ran to a low and dilapidated house and barked at Lu Qiyan. .
At this time, Lu Qiyan was completely surrounded by people.
From young men to middle-aged men, and even strong women, everyone had a dick in their hands. They kept yelling and scolding to stop him, and even hit Lu Qiyan.
When Lu Qiyan saw this, he completely gave up resisting and even gave up trying to lead the horse. He jumped up directly, stepped on the horse's back, jumped over everyone's heads, and landed directly on Wu Jin's head. nearby.
When they arrived at the courtyard where Wu Jin stopped, Lu Qiyan shouted inside, "Madam, Madam Zhuang, it's me, Lu Qiyan!" As if he was afraid that Lu Qiyan's voice alone was not loud enough, Wu Jin also shouted inside. cry.
"Woof woof woof woof!"
The originally dark house was instantly lit up with candlelight, and the worn door panel was opened with a "squeak", revealing a small When they saw through the gap that it was indeed Lu Qiyan and Wu Jin standing outside, Xia Mingyue and Zhuang Cui, who were uneasy in the room, completely let down their guard.
"Husband!"
Pushing open the door panel, Xia Mingyue trotted up to Lu Qiyan and held his hand tightly.
On this occasion and at this time, Xia Mingyue knew that she should not engage in ambiguous behavior that was only possible between husband and wife.
But...
This day passed like a dream, a thrill that I had never experienced before and could never imagine.
One wrong step, and both she and Zhuang Cui may face irreversible consequences.
For the entire day, Xia Mingyue's nerves were in a state of tension, and she was always holding her breath.
I carried it when I realized something was wrong with Shi Yong. I carried it when I stole the carriage and escaped. After I jumped into the river, my shoes and socks were washed away by the fast water. I carried it when I walked barefoot on the road. She was carrying it while hiding in this village...
But now, she can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
But as the breath was exhaled, the tight nerves completely relaxed, and the overwhelming feeling of fatigue came, making her really unsteady on her feet.
And she was really scared.
Now that I see Lu Qiyan, the panic in my heart has turned into endless grievances. Only by holding Lu Qiyan's hand tightly can I feel that the scene in front of me is real and can I calm down.
Aware that Xia Mingyue held his hand very tightly and that it was shaking slightly, Lu Qiyan's heart tightened. Instead, he squeezed Xia Mingyue's hand into his palm and kept rubbing it, "It's okay, it's okay. Come on, I'm here, don't be afraid, don't be afraid..."
"Yes, I'm not afraid." Xia Mingyue raised her face and nodded repeatedly.
The voice was slightly choked and trembling, but the tone was extremely firm.
"Well, I'm not afraid." Lu Qiyan repeated Xia Mingyue's words with a smile and squeezed her palm.
Zhuang Cui on the side also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.
After running away for most of the day, we were finally out of danger.
The villagers who originally rushed to Lu Qiyan angrily to drive him away became quiet when they saw this.
An octogenarian man with all white hair came up tremblingly on crutches, "It seems that you are really a family member of these two ladies, so you were rude just now."
"You are serious." Lu Qiyan bowed respectfully to the old man in front of him, "The world is in chaos, and you are also thinking about the safety of the entire village. It is because I am eager to find people, and I have not elaborated on the reasons. This is my fault. Wrong."
"Thank you for taking in my wife and Mrs. Zhuang. You are the saviors of my family. I, Lu Qiyan, would like to thank you all."
After that, Lu Qiyan said to everyone present. They all bowed respectfully again.
Xia Mingyue and Zhuang Cui also thanked each other profusely, "Thank you for your life-saving grace, thank you very much!"
"Serious words, serious words." The old man's voice was kind, "It's just a small effort. , There is no need to say thank you too much. Since your family is reunited, it is not early now, so you might as well rest early and leave early tomorrow morning.”
