Chapter 296: Leaving Empty Space
The choice of direction at the fork in the road allows people to see the vague scenery of the road they will take in the future. Jiang Shan's family said goodbye here, and they can also see the different scenery from each other's perspective.
"Third brother, you will be the only brother left with the sixth brother from now on. You must take good care of him." Jiang Shan faced his two sons who were about to be separated, and his eyes seemed to be filled with thousands of words.
But Jiang Shan only mentioned this sentence over and over again.
"I understand." The third brother looked directly into Jiang Shan's eyes, asking him to give him enough trust. "I won't let Sixth Brother suffer."
"Dad, please stop talking." Lao Liu seemed to feel that he clearly had the ability to protect himself, but he still had to be worried about by his family, and he felt a little ashamed.
"Sixth brother, after this farewell, I don't know when we'll see each other again." The eldest brother looked serious and stared at the sixth brother and said, "Just listen to Dad's nagging for a while."
Perhaps the words of never seeing each other again stimulated Lao Liu, and the redness on his face faded instantly, and he looked a little pale.
At this time, Jiang Shan said, "Okay, I won't say anything more. You should leave quickly. Don't keep General Qin and the Third Miss waiting for too long."
The third brother nodded, his eyes swept over his brothers, communicating with each other through his eyes, and finally turned around resolutely.
After walking a few steps, Lao Sanfang realized that he had forgotten someone. He turned around and saw Lao Liu standing there tense. He sighed in his heart, walked over and pulled the person away.
"Third brother." The sixth brother followed in silence for two steps, then asked the third brother in a low voice, "We'll meet again in the future, right?"
The third brother turned his gaze away, then placed his palm on the top of his head and said softly, "We will meet again. It's only a few steps away. Just come and see us."
Hearing this, Lao Liu looked up at him and sneered, "Do you really think I'm still a child? Once you're in the military camp, there's no such thing as freedom. How can I just meet you?"
The third brother paused for a moment, then laughed, "I underestimated Sixth Brother. But think about it, with the relationship between Third Miss and Prince Jiang, it won't be difficult for you to meet him a few times."
This sounded plausible. After careful consideration, Lao Liu nodded and said, "You are right. It seems I must respect the Third Young Lady from now on."
Qin Xiangnuan didn't know what Lao Liu was thinking. At this time, she only saw Qin Guang who seemed to be in a depressed mood.
Liu also noticed it, and her gaze kept drifting towards Qin Guang, occasionally retracting her puzzled and worried look. This time, when she retracted her gaze, her gaze met Qin Xiangnuan's.
When Liu was about to speak, Qin Xiangnuan shook her head at her. Liu then pursed her lips and stopped making small movements.
Qin Xiangnuan probably knew about Qin Guang's knot in his heart, but this was the choice Qin Guang made between his small family and his big family, and Qin Xiangnuan would not interfere anymore.
No matter what decision Qin Guang makes in the future, she will just support him.
Where Jiang Lin was was the last stop in Qin Xiangnuan's plan. Next, they headed towards the tent.
"Are we going in the wrong direction?"
In order to actively improve Qin Xiangnuan's favorability, Lao Liu applied to drive in front and came back in the direction he remembered, but he did not see the familiar tent and was stunned.
"Yu..." Lao Liu reined in his horse and prepared to change direction.
But just after the horse turned its head, a sound came from behind.
"Is it someone from the third girl's family?"
After hearing this, Lao Liu turned the horse's head back, and this action also made several people in the carriage look out.
"Not yet..."
The questions asked by the Qin family members were swallowed when they saw the familiar yet unfamiliar place.
Qin Xiangnuan frowned and looked around, but before she could figure out what was going on, the person who asked Lao Liu a question came over.
"Third Miss, you are finally back."
Qin Xiangnuan glanced at the visitor when he heard this. He was considered a neighbor of theirs, but they didn't have much contact with each other on a daily basis. Liu was more familiar with him.
"Oh my God, what happened?" Liu had just walked out of the carriage. She first made an unusual exclamation towards the open space, and then turned her head to see a familiar person.
Liu quickly asked, "Brother Zhang, where is our home?"
Brother Zhang came out after hearing the sound of horse hooves. He wanted to tell them about this matter. His gaze, which was still looking at Qin Xiang, now fell on someone he was more familiar with.
"Sister Qin, during the few days you were away, several waves of bandits came and went. In just three days, your house was completely looted!"
Brother Zhang had never encountered such a horrible thing before. When he saw that group of people, he didn't dare to say anything because he was afraid of revenge.
However, at this moment, he took the initiative to inform, "You didn't see how ferocious those people were. I could only watch them... Alas!"
"Brother Zhang, don't say that. You are not as strong as a young man. If so many people come to steal things, you can't stop them by yourself." Upon hearing this, Liu hurriedly persuaded him.
"The Qin family's sister is sensible. Your sister-in-law doesn't think so. Isn't it because she feels guilty for not being able to help you that she dares not come out to see you?" Brother Zhang said with regret.
When Liu heard this, she was furious and wanted to follow Brother Zhang home to persuade his sister-in-law, "How could this be your fault?"
The two of them left while talking. Qin Guang followed Liu for a few steps, but soon stopped, turned around and walked a few steps towards the original tent.
"Third brother, this time we must do our best to help the third lady." The sixth brother retracted the surprise in his eyes, lingered next to the third brother, and whispered in his ear.
The third brother glanced back at him indifferently, wanting to lecture him, but then he thought that no matter what the starting point was, the sixth brother would have to do a lot, so it would be better to let him think about it freely.
"Dad, have you found anything?" Qin Xiangnuan also walked around the open space. The tents were violently demolished and the footprints on the ground had long been blown away by the wind.
The thieves did not leave anything in the tent. It was clean as if no one had ever lived there, so Lao Liu did not recognize it at first glance.
Qin Guang shook his head, slowly stood up, and threw away the dust he had picked up from the ground. "I can only ask that Brother Zhang if he has seen the person who came. That way it will be easier to find him."
Qin Xiangnuan nodded. She no longer had any suspicions about the thieves. The family had apologized sincerely before leaving, and Qin Xiangnuan was certain that they would not cause trouble at this time.
But Qin Xiangnuan didn't expect that the matter of the house was not over yet.
Perhaps that family's instigation really aroused resentment among others towards her family, which is why they took advantage of the fact that no one was at home to do such a ridiculous thing.
"Guang'er, why don't we go to another place?" After taking a look, Old Lady Qin was pushed into the carriage. She felt uneasy in her heart, so she stuck her head out.
