Xia Zhiliao had recovered quite well these days under the care of the Xia family, and he could run very fast, so Xia Chenshi couldn't catch up with him.
She could only follow behind with a wry smile on her face, "I know this girl, she's so shy at such a young age."
Xia Zhiliao didn't hear anything at all and was already looking for a toilet. She thought that even if she couldn't find a toilet, she could at least find a place away from people. She couldn't just relieve herself on the street and wait for people to watch!
These days, it’s bad enough that there are no public toilets, but why can’t I find a toilet in every home? They only eat and don’t do anything, are they like Pixiu?
Xia Zhiliao really couldn't bear it any longer. If she waited any longer she would wet her pants, which would be even more disastrous.
Fortunately, she saw a stack of firewood not far away, but she didn’t know whose it belonged to, so she could only say sorry.
Because she ran too fast, Xia Chen hadn't caught up with her. After she had relieved herself, she felt refreshed and like a tough girl again, but she heard some noise outside.
She was startled and thought that maybe she was discovered while hiding.
She's just a little child, so... nothing should happen to her, right?
"Master, what you are looking for..."
Xia Zhiliao felt something was wrong when she heard it. She wondered if she was going to hear something she shouldn't hear. But the next moment there was no sound. She was wondering when suddenly a long sword with a cold glow was placed on her neck.
Fortunately, it wasn't a minute ago, because then she really wet her pants.
"Master, it's a child!"
Being held at the sword's mercy, Xia Zhiliao quickly gestured that she heard nothing and that she was also a mute, so don't kill her.
Is it possible that the fate of cannon fodder cannot be changed? Everything before was an illusion. This damn death is too inexplicable.
"She seems to be mute!" The man had a gloomy face and looked cold, just like those cold-blooded killers in novels who kill without blinking an eye.
[I am dumb, and I didn’t hear anything. I am only three years old, brother!]
"Mute?" The young man's deep voice came, "Then who is speaking?"
The young man's question made the man and Xia Zhiliao stare at each other in confusion, and they both shook their heads.
"Master, I am the only one speaking!"
"Are you kidding me?" The young man came over. He clearly heard the little girl's baby voice. "I want to see what kind of little girl you are that makes you soft-hearted and lie to me."
"I don't have any!"
As he spoke, the young man had already flashed over and looked at the trembling Xia Zhiliao with a frown, "Say something, or I'll kill you!"
[You big-headed ghost, I am dumb, dumb, I can't speak! ]
The young man looked at Xia Zhiliao coldly, as if he had seen something incredible.
[Are you frightened by my innocent, cute, and beautiful face? For my beauty, please don’t kill me. I didn’t hear anything, really.]
The young man stared at Xia Zhiliao motionlessly.
Xia Zhiliao was looked at with horror, and died tragically because of a pee. She was probably the most miserable cannon fodder!
[Don't think you look good, but I tell you, killing me is also against the law! ]
The boy sneered, "Damn it!"
"Master, what should I do with her?"
[Of course you let me go. If you kill me, I will turn into a ghost and follow you every day, lying on your shoulders, making you unlucky for the rest of your life. The point is that I died unjustly. If I had heard it, I would have let it go.]
The boy looked at Xia Zhiliao's face and said, "Forget it, she didn't hear anything."
[Right, right, that's right. You can't just be a pretty vase. You need to use your brain. You didn't say anything. I heard nothing.]
Xia Zhiliao saw the long sword on his shoulder was withdrawn, and tried to run away despite his weak legs, but at this time Xia Chen came over and said, "Zhiliao, why are you here? I scared you to death. Who are these two..."
The man had just put away his sword, but Xia Chenshi didn't notice.
The stern-looking boy changed his face, and his already good-looking appearance now looked even more harmless and as elegant as a boy next door.
"Ma'am, we just saw the little sister. She was alone and we thought she was lost, so we were thinking of sending her back."
Xia Chenshi did not doubt him, "Thank you, young master, you are such a good person."
[Haha! Your expression changes so quickly. Just now... um, don't look at me like that.]
The young man looked at Xia Zhiliao with interest. He was curious why he could hear her talking even though she didn't speak.
"Sister...she can't speak?" the boy asked again.
Xia Chen looked helpless, as if she thought they were good people. "Yes, our cicada has been unable to speak since childhood."
"That's a pity." said the boy.
[It’s not a pity at all. At this moment, I am extremely glad that I can’t speak. ]
Xia Zhiliao knew clearly that if her mother had said that she could speak, both mother and daughter would have died.
Fortunately, I escaped again and the cannon fodder lived for another day!
Xia Chen touched her daughter's head and said, "Then we won't bother you anymore, young master."
[Yes, go! ]
"Goodbye!" the young man said calmly, his smile as bright as the sun.
Xia Zhiliao forced a smile, but he was sharpening his knife in his heart.
【Goodbye! 】
In order to find out what was going on, the boy deliberately said, "I think this sister and I are destined to be together, and we will probably meet again."
[What a joke, who is destined to be with you? I don’t want to see you. 】
Xia Chen was confused. What was going on?
The young man stared at her departing back thoughtfully for a long time, until the guard beside him continued to report what he had just said halfway.
"Master, we are still working on winning over the daughter of Marquis Jing'an's concubine..."
The young man waved his hand, "Never mind, let's go and see what happened to that girl just now."
"She...didn't she hear it? Master, you..."
"You really didn't hear her speak just now?"
The man nodded, not understanding why his master asked this. "Isn't she mute? Didn't her mother say the same thing? If you are worried, I will kill them!"
"No hurry!" The young man pulled a playful smile on his face.
Xia Zhiliao was extremely panicked. He looked back several times and only felt relieved when he found that the two men had not caught up with him.
The fate of cannon fodder is so unfortunate that they can be killed if they are not careful.
The boy and the guard were walking on the street when suddenly a group of running children came out. The boy dodged them but still touched his chest worriedly.
Then he carefully took out a brocade handkerchief, inside which was a jade bracelet.
Xia Zhiliao happened to be going to Jinyifang with his father, and that's how they met again.
[What a fate, wait, the bracelet... is that... my jade bracelet? ]
The boy tilted his head and looked over. Hers?
When did it become hers?
Xia Zhiliao didn't care about anything else. She was in public anyway, and the master and servant could kill her to silence her. She rushed over to see if it was her ancestral jade bracelet, but in excitement she pulled the boy's arm.
She was suddenly stunned!
What did she see?
So scary!
