She hadn't expected Qin Feng's men to be so difficult to deal with.
Now, I can't go back to the village, let alone turn back to my aunt's house.
Because this would implicate my family.
With pursuers behind them, they had no time to spare and began packing their bags.
"Hurry and chase them!" Accompanied by those urgent words were hurried footsteps and the rumbling of wheels.
Qiu Yan and her three companions ran incredibly fast.
The people behind were hot on their heels...
Today, in the middle of the morning, they traveled more than 30 li (approximately 15 kilometers) and had already reached another small town.
Behind them, Qin Feng's men were still chasing.
Xiajia Village
In the courtyard, Xia Minxin peeked around,
"Where's my older brother?" She clearly saw him coming from outside the courtyard.
At that time, she was having a great time playing with Qiu Ling'er and Gu Xiaoran.
But in the blink of an eye, the older brother disappeared.
Qiu Ling'er: "Brother Ling Qi is also missing."
Gu Xiaoran: "Mother is gone too. That's strange. Where did they go?"
Hearing the crowd's comments, Qiu Xu and Xia Minrui quickly got up and began searching for Qiu Yan.
However, they couldn't find it.
Gu Xiaoran immediately ran to ask Guo Shi, "Auntie, where is Mother?"
At that moment, Guo was making dumplings with Xia Minmin inside the house. Hearing the question, she was quite surprised.
"I saw her feeding the chickens with Minmin back then. Minmin, what about you? Did you see Xiaoyan?"
"I didn't see her either."
Xia Minmin was also puzzled. "Just now, Brother Ling Ba came by. They were talking together, so I left. I suppose he had something to do and went out."
Guo felt uneasy: "Xiao Yan should have at least told me before going out."
“Xiao Yan has her two older brothers, Ling Qi and Ling Ba, with her, so she’ll be fine.” Xia Minmin was also a little uneasy.
They waited until noon, lunchtime, but Qiu Yan still hadn't arrived.
During this time, Qiu Xu and Xia Minrui searched both Baiyang and Huaiyuan's shops but did not find anyone.
Qiu Xu's expression became tense, and Qiu Ling'er's mood became depressed.
Gu Xiaoran was no longer as lively as before. She squatted alone in the corner, head down, clenching her fingers.
"Mother must have secretly left again."
He was a little unhappy.
"No, it won't happen," Guo comforted her from the side.
"Yu'er, Xiao Yan might have run into some urgent business. Maybe she'll be back soon. Let's eat first. If Xiao Yan hasn't returned by the time we finish eating, let's go to your Lingnan Village together and see if she's gone back."
"I want to go back now." Gu Xiaoran pursed her lips, her eyes reddening, looking aggrieved.
He was just a five-year-old child, and he was extremely insecure.
“I want to go back now too,” Qiu Ling’er said.
She thought of her past experiences.
In the past, when they were in Qingyun, they had encountered assassins.
Qiu Ling'er felt that her sister must have encountered danger. She had never left so suddenly before.
Qiu Xu nodded to himself, "Aunt, you're right. It's very likely that my sister has returned to the village."
His sister, who was both his elder sister and his mother, was someone Qiu Xu was very worried about. He also said that he wanted to go back now.
Guo Shi, too, was worried about Xiao Yan.
She still felt that Xiaoyan and the others had really encountered an emergency.
Just then, Gu Xiaoran seemed to remember something and hurriedly ran out of the courtyard, shouting into the air, "Uncle Xuanming, Uncle Xuanying..."
As soon as he finished speaking, both figures landed on the ground simultaneously.
