One year brought a great drought, the next year floods, and then, in a blink, a plague.
The Xu family fled from the north to the south, and then from the south back to the north.
Before...
It was so embarrassing that I wanted to look at other people's things but got caught in the act.
Xu Ning withdrew her hand and explained with a simple smile, "Little boy, I have no ill intentions. I just saw you fainted, so I helped you under the tree."
Li Xier didn't say whether he believed it or not. It seemed that he really didn't walk under the tree before he fainted. He was a little discouraged. He didn't expect that he was so useless.
"Little boy, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?" Seeing that he was silent and depressed, Xu Ning was a little worried that he might have gone stupid from hunger.
She still had some jerky left in her backpack, so she took some out and stuffed it into Li Xier's hands. Afraid that he would worry and not dare to eat it, she stuffed one into her own mouth before saying to him, "Eat it, sister will treat you to some jerky."
Li Xier took the dried meat handed to him by Xu Ning, and suddenly remembered the story his father told him. He nibbled it silently, and then stared at Xu Ning for a long time.
"Player, those people are coming soon, do you want to avoid them?"
"Get out of the way." Xu Ning stood up and told the fat fox and the ewe to continue walking forward. Then he waved to Li Xier and said, "I'm leaving first, little one. Your family will be here soon. Bye."
"You... who are you?" Xu Ning lowered his head to look at his trouser leg which was being pulled by a small hand, and his eyes softened a little.
Xu Ning reached out and rubbed his head. "I'm just a sister who once met you."
"Sister." Li Xier murmured to herself.
"Be good, we'll meet again if there's a chance." After saying that, Xu Ning stepped lightly and disappeared from Li Xier's sight in the blink of an eye.
Li Xier looked at the direction where Xu Ning disappeared with confusion and admiration. After a while, Li the Hunter brought people to find Li Xier.
Li the Hunter had already been the chief of Qingfeng Village. Xu Ning was watching them from a distance with a telescope and found that except for his face which was the same as before, his aura was completely different.
"Xi'er!"
Hunter Li checked Li Xier from head to toe and was relieved to find that he was fine. He didn't pay much attention to the uneaten dried meat in his son's hand, because dried meat was a snack he often prepared for him.
"Xi'er, go back with daddy." Li the hunter pretended to hug him, but Li Xi'er immediately pushed him away.
"I'm not going back. I want to find my mother!" The little guy's eyes were full of resistance.
"Xi'er!" Li the hunter couldn't bear to be mean to him. When he heard the word "mother" from his son's mouth, his eyes were red with heartache.
"Xi'er, mother is waiting for you on the mountain. Come back with father." Li the hunter could only persuade him. Li Xi'er backed away and shook her head, "That's not my mother. My mother went to a very far place. I want to go find her!"
Li Xier turned and ran, but unfortunately his legs were too short and he was immediately caught by Li Liehu. Li Liehu held him in his arms, and no matter how Li Xier struggled and slapped him, he did not move.
"Let me go! Let me go! You're a badass dad! I need to go find my mom!"
"Be good, Daddy will take you back right away!" Li the Hunter's face was not looking good, and he ordered the people behind him: "Go and find out who was gossiping in front of Xi'er. Also, interrogate that woman as well."
"Yes! Boss!"
Li the Hunter patted Li Xier's sobbing back, and his eyes turned from pain to coldness.
"Baby, what happened to my aunt?" After listening to these people's conversation, Xu Ning realized that something was wrong.
"Player, Feng died two years ago from illness."
"Died of illness?"
"Yes, player. When Feng learned of her mother's passing, she fell ill." It turned out that Li the Hunter and Feng hadn't had a good time since they were brought to Qingfeng Village. When Feng Xiucai learned that Qingfeng Village was planning a rebellion, he forced Feng to sign a severance agreement. Feng's illness hadn't healed since then.
Later, the head of the family, Li, deliberately teased Feng Xiucai, and the Feng family members were unable to leave Qingfeng Village.
At that time, Qingfeng Village was a mixed bag. The head of the village, Li Da, forced Li Liehu to take over his mantle and deliberately locked Feng up alone. However, some people made things difficult for her, and Li Liehu was unable to make a decision, which led to the worsening of her condition.
Feng also hid the fact that she was ill from Li the Hunter and did not tell him. The heart-saving pills that Xu Ning had given her were used by Li the Hunter to save Feng Xiucai three years ago. By the time Li the Hunter discovered Feng's illness, it was already too late to save her.
"Who is the woman Uncle Li asked me to investigate just now?"
"Player, she is the maid who climbed into Li Hunter's bed after Feng's death."
"She must be responsible for Aunt Feng's death."
"Yes, player. It was she who deliberately made things difficult for Feng Shi. She also instigated Li Xier to come out and look for Feng Shi."
"I hope Uncle Li can find out as soon as possible." Otherwise, Li Xier is a good child, and who knows what she will become under the care of her vicious stepmother.
Xu Ning felt helpless. How could Uncle Li, who was so brave and smart, become like this?
Fate is such a joke.
In Qingfeng Village, Su Yan learned that the little boy had been found and complained to the head of the Li family, "Your nephew is really no match for you. If it were you, this kind of thing would never happen."
In Su Yan's eyes, Li Liehu is still a fool, a fool who can't even protect his own woman.
"The child is still young and has not experienced much. He will get better slowly." After that, the head of the Li family stopped caring about the matter and lay on Su Yan's bed every day. Except for practicing martial arts and drinking tea occasionally, he never interfered in the affairs of Qingfeng Village.
Su Yan turned her head and looked out the window with a complicated look in her eyes. It was a pity that there was no time for him to grow.
On the other side, Feng Liang brought people from Fengcheng to Qingfeng Village. After "diagnosing" Feng Xiucai, Feng Liang sent him down the mountain.
The way down the mountain is not the same as the way up the mountain, and we were blindfolded both ways.
Jiang Yan compared the drawings drawn by Feng Xiucai with the defense map given by the informant, and found out that the drawings were real. All that was left was to figure out the way up and down the mountain.
A cunning rabbit has three burrows. There are many ways to go up and down the mountain of Qingfeng Village. Jiangyan already knows about seven or eight of them.
Jiang Yan asked someone to bring special powder to find the remaining routes, while he summoned half of the soldiers and horses to prepare to quietly block Qingfeng Village's retreat routes.
Five days later, it was late at night and everyone in Qingfeng Village had rested except for those on patrol.
Jiang Yan led the team personally and gently walked up to the main gate of Qingfeng Village from a small path.
The people in Qingfeng Village were quite alert, and the patrollers were not sleepy at all.
Jiang Yan signaled to Jiang Yi and other secret guards to open the high-concentration sleeping pills at the vent.
Not long after, the people guarding the gate of Qingfeng Village were replaced by people from Jiangyan.
Jiang Yi and his men acted quickly. They were responsible for drugging the person, while the subsequent troops were responsible for taking him away quietly and replacing him.
Everything went smoothly in the first half of the night, but in the second half, a scream woke up everyone in Qingfeng Village.
Jiang Yan's actions were soon exposed. Jiang Yi and others immediately turned back to cover Jiang Yan and fired a flare into the sky.
"Hurry, take people to find Xier, leave this place to me!" The moment the boss Li saw Jiang Yan, he knew he couldn't leave.
