...
In the past few days, Qiu Yan has been collecting saltpeter every day under the pretext of making medicine.
With the help of Qin Susu and Bai Lu, the amount of saltpeter gradually increased.
Besides that, Qiu Yan would frequently travel back and forth between Baiyang and Huaiyuan, sometimes looking after her business, sometimes checking on her aunt and second uncle.
Before we knew it, autumn was coming to an end, and the weather was getting colder day by day.
Qiu Yan bought cotton-padded clothes and shoes for her younger brother and sister, as well as Gu Xiaoran, and lived a comfortable and carefree life day after day.
Thinking of the war on the border, Qiu Yan silently prayed that everything would go well for her beloved.
Today, Qiu Xu and Xia Minrui took a day off and came to Qingyun together to look for Qiu Yan.
At this moment, Qiu Yan was still collecting saltpeter in the mountains. Qiu Xu searched for a long time before finally finding his sister.
"elder sister."
"cousin."
A loud voice came from afar. Qiu Yan turned around and saw Qiu Xu and Xia Minrui appear in her line of sight. She hurried down the mountain to meet them.
Qin Susu and Bai Lu followed closely behind.
"Ah Xu, Min Rui, you're here," Qiu Yan said with a smile.
I haven't seen my younger brother for quite some time, and he's grown taller again.
"I took a day off to come and see my sister," Qiu Xu said.
"Cousin, my mother has prepared a meal and asked us to invite you, Ling'er, and Xiao Ran to eat together," Xia Minrui said.
"good."
Qiu Yan took a day off and, along with Qiu Xu and Xia Minrui, decided to go to Xiajia Village to reunite with her aunt.
“I’m going too,” Qin Susu blurted out. She was there on Gu Qian’s orders to protect Qiu Yan.
As Qin Susu spoke, she glanced at Qiu Xu and Xia Minrui, "Who are they to you?"
Qiu Yan: "My younger brother." After saying that, she slowly shook her head.
"Don't follow."
Bai Lu nodded, saying nothing more.
Qin Susu was a little unhappy: "Why, Qiu Yan, this is not right of you. There's good food, but you didn't take us with you. Besides, we're worried about you going alone."
Qiu Xu looked at this strange woman. What did she mean by "sister alone"? Weren't he and Minrui people too?
Also, how come he had never seen this person before?
"I'll protect my sister."
Qin Susu took a good look at Qiu Xu. This young man was steady and upright, and his brows were full of confidence.
Sigh, after being away from home for so long, everyone seems a hundred times better than her husband, even young boys.
She must have offended the God of Love in her past life.
Qiu Yan is gratified; her younger brother and sister are both her pride.
"Let's go and call Ling'er and Xiao Ran."
"Cousin, where are we going?"
As soon as the words were spoken, Ling Qi and Ling Ba appeared out of nowhere and landed in front of Qiu Yan.
The speaker was none other than Ling Qi.
Upon seeing Qiu Yan's injured face, the two paused slightly.
"You guys?" Qiu Yan was a little stunned. The war was over? So fast?
She was somewhat surprised.
After she finished speaking, she turned her head to look behind her, searching for Gu Qian's figure.
Ling Qi smiled and said, "He has important matters to attend to."
Not only was Qiu Yan surprised, but Qin Susu and Bai Lu were even more surprised.
The two women had different expressions; one was surprised, and the other was indifferent.
Qiu Xu thought of his senior brother, while Xia Minrui paid no attention.
As for Ling Qi and Bai Lu, when Ling Qi saw Qin Susu, he smiled and nodded. But when he saw Bai Lu clearly, especially her lower abdomen, he was immediately stunned.
"Bai Lu, what are you doing here?" She shouldn't be here right now.
If the general sees this, he will be in big trouble.
Bai Lu remained silent, her icy gaze fixed on Ling Qi, making him shiver.
