Chapter 80 Miss Du! I've finally been waiting for you
Huo Qingxiang left the cave, walked around to the foot of the mountain, and followed the people from Dujia Village.
She had already hidden the jade pendant given by Jin Wenhao close to her chest.
Huo Sien was very busy and had no time to take care of her. In fact, he was heartbroken and didn't want to care about her.
Her parents thought the old man would take care of it, so they didn't pay much attention to their daughter. When they saw her coming back with the people from Dujia Village, they thought she knew she had done something wrong and was too embarrassed to see anyone.
He ignored her. In fact, many women in Huojia Village blamed the couple, saying that they had not taught their daughter well, which led to so many girls being captured by bandits.
Fortunately, when everyone rushed up the mountain, they found that all the girls were locked in a room and were safe, so everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Every household in Dujia Village received some gifts and silver, and everyone was very happy. They had thought it was a disaster, but unexpectedly, they had gained a lot of benefits.
The old patriarch felt bad when he saw Du Jiang's family being escorted back by the people of Huojia Village. They didn't know what happened in the past and had never experienced it together.
He saw the capture of the bandits clearly this time. All the members of the Huojia Village Guard Team obeyed Du Wanwan's orders. When to go up the mountain and what to do were clearly arranged.
After asking about the kidnapped girls in the village, only Du Wanwan was called out, and the rest of the people never left the room.
Du Wanwan went out to deal with the bandit leader, and he heard Huo Sien calling for people to capture the injured bandit leader.
This capable girl was originally from their Dujia Village, but now she is from Huojia Village. If the ancestors knew about this, I wonder how they would scold this unfilial descendant.
Why should you send a good child to another village?
We worked for an entire afternoon and rested at night, planning to continue our journey the next day.
Huo Sien came to Du Wanwan after dinner and said, "Dalang! Did you kill the bandit leader?"
"No! Didn't you say you would send someone to take it away?"
After Du Wanwan asked, she knew something bad had happened. The man must have taken advantage of her absence to escape.
Or maybe he was rescued by someone hiding in the dark.
But it doesn’t matter. As long as he dares to appear in front of me, I will shoot him dead.
"It's bad." Huo Sien looked regretful, "He must have escaped."
Du Wanwan didn't care: "Just run away! That guy is very eye-catching. I don't think he is an ordinary person. It would be strange if he could be killed so easily by us.
Chief! We are not a regular army, so we cannot annihilate them all. If he wants to run away, whether he can escape or not depends on his luck.
Tomorrow I will draw all the patterns on the banknotes and let the men, women, and children in the village see them and try to remember them. In the future, if you see such patterns on people’s bodies, cars, or anywhere else, be sure to be alert.”
"Hey! Please draw it! We need to show it to everyone, otherwise many people won't know what it means when they see it."
Huo Si'en felt more and more that Du Wanwan was meticulous and careful. If she hadn't discovered the pattern on that man's body, no one would have dared to be sure that those bandits were the real ones.
After chatting for a while, Huo Sien got up and went back to sleep. Du Wanwan was still on duty, and Aunt Xiao Qihua was watching over her.
The next morning, everyone got up, cooked, ate, and set off.
It took more than two months to finally reach Liang County. When they heard that they had reached their destination, the people of Huojia Village breathed a sigh of relief. If they continued to walk, they really couldn't bear it.
The weather is too cold, the days are short, the nights are long, and the temperature is low. The human body can hardly bear staying outdoors for a long time.
A large number of refugees had gathered at the gate of Liang County, estimated to be around a thousand people. To enter the city and be accepted, one had to queue up to register.
Huo Sien looked at it and said nothing, asking everyone to line up first. They would not be able to get in line tonight, and would have to wait for several days at least.
Du Wanwan settled her family down and walked to Huo Sien: "Chief! Please come with me to the city gate! If it is convenient, we can go into the city early."
"Hey! Good!" Huo Sien stood up and called the captain of the village protection team, "You come with us, don't let anyone crowd Dalang."
Du Jiang also followed behind Du Wanwan. His leg had completely healed. It was his responsibility to protect his daughter, and he couldn't let her worry about the whole family alone.
They arrived in Liang County at noon. If they could get in, they would have a place to sleep well at night. If they couldn't get in, they would have to sleep outside at night.
The four of them walked towards the official who was in charge of registration. Du Wanwan took out a small bamboo card and held it in her hand: "Sir, can we have a word with you?"
The official didn't even raise his head, but waved his hand impatiently: "Go away, I'm busy, I'm busy, can't you see I'm busy?"
A bored man in his twenties who was standing behind them came over, saw the small bamboo sign in Du Wanwan's hand, and came up to say hello.
"Hello, Miss Du! I'm glad to see you."
Du Wanwan was startled: "Ye Tingxiao asked you to wait for me?"
When Miss Du announced the prince's name, the man paused, and came back to his senses after a moment: "Yes, yes, my name is Ye Shiyi. The prince has told Miss Du to come into the city immediately."
He heard Ye Ye Er say that Miss Du was their great benefactor and must not be neglected. Before leaving, the prince also prepared a house for Miss Du, right on the street in front, so that she could open a clinic in the future.
"But we have a village of people, can they all come in?"
Du Wanwan didn't know what the rules were here, so she had to ask first. Otherwise, if a bunch of people came and they said it couldn't be done, wouldn't it be a waste of time?
Huo Si'en and the captain of the village protection team both showed worry in their eyes. Du Wanwan was not from their Huojia Village, so it was understandable if they didn't let her in.
After all, it was Du Wanwan who saved the Prince of Pingyang, not them.
Du Jiang stayed beside his daughter without saying a word. He did whatever his daughter Wanwan said.
"It doesn't matter, everything has been arranged, just bring the person over!"
Ye Shiyi asked people to open the city gate on the left. People were queuing up for registration on the right side, and the left side was empty, just right for the people from Huojia Village to register.
Miss Du was the one who saved the prince. How could I not remember such a great favor?
Ye Ye Er said that as long as he made friends with Miss Du, he would definitely get benefits in the future. He had to behave well in front of Miss Du and try to make a good impression on her.
If I get sick or have a disaster in the future, I won’t feel embarrassed to go to someone for help.
When they heard that they could go directly into the city, Huo Si'en and the captain of the village protection team were delighted. It must be said that it is easy to be an official if you have someone in the court.
Liang County was under the jurisdiction of Pingyang Marquis's Mansion. Du Wanwan knew the prince of Pingyang Marquis, so he would definitely give her this convenience. He unintentionally took care of Du Jiang's family, and the rewards he received along the way were great.
"Thank you, General! We will ask the villagers to come over right away."
