"Xiao Yan is back?" Qiu Dafu noticed Qiu Xu's movement, stood up, and glanced back at Qiu Xu, only to see that his eyes were misty.
He comforted her, saying, "It's alright, Xiaoyan will be alright."
"Second Uncle, I miss my sister. I miss her. I want to go find her." Just now, the dream was too real. Qiu Xu couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality.
"Ah Xu, you sleep a little longer, I'm going to Huaiyuan to check." Unable to find Qiu Yan, Qiu Dafu was extremely anxious and couldn't sleep soundly.
After saying that, he left the house.
"I'll go with you," Qiu Xu said urgently.
After he finished speaking, he also followed him out of the house.
But his second uncle pushed him back into the house.
"I'll be right back."
Qiu Xu refused, "No, I want to go with my second uncle to find my sister."
He went out of the house again and stood in front of Qiu Dafu.
Seeing the determination in his eyes, Qiu Dafu sighed. "Alright."
Ah Xu felt the same way as him.
Glug glug, glug glug...
Qiu Xu heard the sound of the horse-drawn carriage wheels turning, "Sister!"
He ran out of the yard in an instant.
Sure enough, he saw a horse-drawn carriage approaching him.
Beside the carriage, an old beggar, dazed and confused, stretched out his arm, seemingly trying to beg for food from the carriage owner. He then blocked the way for the carriage.
"Please have mercy and give me some food."
"Where did this old beggar come from? Get out of here!" Xiao Ke knew that there was nothing to eat in their carriage except for herbs.
Their young master has a poor appetite and only likes to eat ready-made food; he never brings his own dry rations.
He cracked his whip, "Giddy up..."
A spring breeze swept by, causing the carriage curtains to sway in the wind, revealing the figures inside.
Qiu Xu looked closely and saw the frail man inside the carriage.
Qiu Dafu looked closely and immediately recognized the person inside the car.
"The person in the carriage looks like Qin Feng."
Just as the carriage was about to hit the old beggar, Qiu Dafu rushed forward and pulled the old beggar back with a strong pull.
But the old beggar was still unlucky; he sprained his ankle and scraped his skin.
The old beggar winced in pain, "How are you any different from those treacherous dogs from Northern Qi?"
The carriage passed by the Qiu family's courtyard gate and sped northwards.
Qiu Xu smelled the fading medicinal scent in the air. "Yes, it's him!"
Having said that, without another word, he and his second uncle chased after the carriage.
Qiu Dafu also said, "Ah Xu, be careful, it might be a trap."
Qin Feng is a cunning and treacherous man, and Qiu Dafu must be wary of him.
"I'll be careful," Qiu Xu said as he ran.
He was more worried about his sister than his own safety.
...On Qiu Yan's side, inside the noodle shop, several people sat around a table, discussing their next move.
Ling Qi couldn't eat; her entire mind was focused on the child.
"Go back. If you don't go back, who will take care of the child?" Ling Ba's words brought Ling Qi back to reality.
Seeing that Ling Qi did not react, Qin Susu continued:
"Ling Qi, go back and tell your second uncle and the others that we went to Shangjin with Xiao Yan to discuss business. We left in such a hurry that we forgot to say goodbye. Tell them not to worry about us."
Ling Qi hurriedly shook her head: "No, I can't leave."
The child was important, but with his second uncle around, he believed that his second uncle and aunt wouldn't mistreat his son.
After all, he was now Xiaoyan's person.
Xiaoyan needs her more here.
Qiu Yan guessed what Ling Qi was thinking. "I'll go back with you. Cousin Ling Ba, you and Qin Susu go ahead first, we'll be right back."
