Chapter 430: Eat and Work
Qin Xiangnuan waited in the dark with the ugly young man. When the sky was about to brighten, there was still no sign of him. The ugly young man had obviously lost his patience and left in anger.
After everyone left, Qin Xiangna was also preparing to rush back.
Unexpectedly, he saw a figure not far away and stopped where he was.
"Where are the people? Didn't you say you were waiting here?"
"There are carriage tracks. It looks like they left not long ago."
"Oh, you want to negotiate terms with us with just this little sincerity!"
These people quickly left in anger. It was obvious that the cooperation between the two parties had not yet been reached, but Qin Xiangnuan knew who had found the ugly young man.
She had fought with that group of people for so long that day that she was very familiar with their uniforms. They were indeed the same group of people.
When Qin Xiangnuan wanted to follow the people back to their lair, she realized that it was getting late. After careful consideration, she gave up the pursuit. As a result, she missed the other side and was discovered here.
Although Qin Xiangnuan managed to appease the person on the surface, it also restricted her subsequent actions.
After that, Li Yuran's eyes were always trying to track her location, both openly and secretly. After Qin Xiangnuan didn't go out at night for several days, this bit of sight disappeared.
However, at this time they had already left the city where Xue'er was, but were closer to the ugly young man's residence.
"Nuannuan, where are you going?"
That day, Qin Xiangnuan seized the opportunity to go out, but unexpectedly she was caught by Li Yuran.
Qin Xiangnuan looked back with shock in her eyes, but she hid it well on her face, "I'm not going anywhere."
Li Yuran would lie to her that he had fallen asleep, which was something Qin Xiangnuan had never thought of. Fortunately, Qin Xiangnuan learned from her experience this time and wore the clothes she wore when she fell asleep.
Li Yuran naturally noticed this and seemed to believe Qin Xiangnuan's words. He nodded and lay down again.
Li Yu Ran closed her eyes and couldn't sleep. No one knew the uneasiness in her heart. Li Yu Ran didn't want to annoy Qin Xiangnuan, but she couldn't help it.
"Nuannuan, don't blame me." Li Yuran said in his heart.
After that, Qin Xiangnuan never acted out late at night again, not because of Li Yuran's existence, but because she received another letter.
When Qin Xiangnuan found the letter under the wheels of the carriage, her expression was very ugly, as if they were being monitored.
Qin Xiangnuan still didn't know where those eyes were, which made her feel very depressed.
Qin Xiangnuan secretly read the contents of the letter and threw it into the space. These two unsigned letters made Qin Xiangnuan extremely worried about the situation at the border.
"We need to hurry back." Qin Xiangnuan suppressed the uneasiness in her heart and said to them.
"Why is the third lady so anxious?"
Their journey was much faster than when they came here, because they did not have to stop at any place. Therefore, in just ten days, they had covered the same distance as they had covered in a month. If they continued like this, it would only take them another ten days to reach the border.
"I feel a little uneasy." Qin Xiangnuan said, "I've been feeling a little anxious these past two days."
Qin Xiangnuan said so, so hurrying on the journey was inevitable. However, perhaps because Qin Xiangnuan, who was always calm and composed, showed such uneasiness, the merchants also became anxious to go home.
They couldn't help but guess what Qin Xiangnuan didn't know.
"Did something big happen at the border? Will our family be affected?"
"What should I do? Will something really happen?"
After leaving the vendors, the Li siblings shifted their focus. "Brother, do you think anything will happen to our parents and brothers?"
Li Yuran was more worried about his family than Qin Xiangnuan at this time, and the eldest brother of the Li family also realized that the situation might be more serious than he could imagine.
"Don't be too anxious, we are almost home, everything should be fine." But in fact, the eldest brother of the Li family was also unsure.
Qin Xiangnuan didn't know that her words had caused them to panic. It should be said that even if she really noticed their panic at this time, Qin Xiangnuan would have no time to care about it.
This was because the letter told Qin Xiangnuan that several people guarding the Qin family were injured, and now only the elderly, weak and sick were left in the family.
Qin Xiangnuan had doubts about the authenticity of the contents of the letter, but she would not be able to be truly assured until she saw it with her own eyes. Moreover, the letter also said that the foreign country was at war with the soldiers on the same border, and the deaths on both sides were incalculable.
Qin Xiangnuan was unwilling to believe such exaggerated news, and she also had some hope that the other party was deceiving her.
However, when they were only a few days away from the border, they heard some rumors among the people on the road.
One day they were eating on the road and heard a conversation at a table behind them.
"Have you heard that the border is now unstable and foreigners have invaded. Should we leave here quickly?"
The people at this table were talking animatedly, while the people at Qin Xiangnuan's table were speechless.
"Third Miss, is what they said true?"
When encountering problems, their first reaction is naturally to find Qin Xiangnuan, because she can give them the greatest stability.
Qin Xiangnuan was also silent at this time, but the expression on her face was a little heavy, so that the vendors could guess that what her descendants said about her background was true without having to hear her voice.
"This, this battle actually started at this time."
"Are we going back?"
This statement, after a moment of silence, was refuted by others, "Of course I have to go back. Even if I die, I want to die with my family."
"Hey, don't talk about death, it's so unlucky."
"But, didn't you hear just now? Many people died at the border."
They had already stopped eating and were arguing about meaningless things.
Li Yu Ran couldn't swallow the food either. The food in his mouth remained in his mouth even after he chewed it until it had no taste.
Li Yuran stopped listening to the vendors' conversation and shifted his gaze to Qin Xiangnuan who was eating and swallowing her food bite by bite.
After tilting his head, the words in his elder brother's throat kept sliding, but his expression was a little vicious.
"Brother, Nuannuan." Li Yuran swallowed the lump stuck in his throat with force and called out in a low voice.
The two people who were called turned to her when they heard the voice, and seeing her worried expression, they comforted her.
"Don't worry, we won't know everything until we get back. We can't trust what others say."
"But……"
Li Yuran didn't say a word of rebuttal, but pursed his lips and nodded.
The vendors also looked at Qin Xiangnuan and the eldest brother of the Li family, and asked uncertainly: "Will everything really be alright?"
No one can give them any guarantee.
"I just need to eat my fill and make myself healthy before I can go and see if anything has happened." Qin Xiangnuan said and took another bite of the cake in her hand.
Such simple words left the vendors speechless for a moment.
