What can Li Zheng do if he is still worried?
He couldn't stop He Lin, nor could he stop the people in the shadows.
The other party is in the shadows, while Xiao Ran is in the light.
They have already set their sights on Xiao Ran.
The most dangerous place is the safest place.
Outside the courtyard, Jiang Liu sighed.
"Xiao Ran, I wonder if Xiao Yan would stop you if she knew you were leaving."
Qiu Xu shook his head: "My sister won't stop me." My sister always puts safety first.
He knew that Gu Xiaoran had been kidnapped again.
He was also somewhat curious about He Lin's identity.
What kind of person would attract such a huge number of enemies?
They traveled thousands of miles and actually found Lingnan Village.
Qiu Ling'er said doubtfully, "Brother, you seem to know Sister very well. I don't think so. Sister cares about Xiao Ran a lot. She won't let anyone take Xiao Ran away."
After all, her sister's previous attitude was very firm.
"I haven't finished speaking yet." Qiu Xu glanced at the innocent Gu Xiaoran in the courtyard and continued, "If my sister were here, she would go with me."
"How do you know?" Jiang Liu asked.
“Lingnan Village is no longer safe for Xiaoran. Also, my sister said she will expand her business to Shangjin,” Qiu Xu said.
Jiang Liu: "That makes sense." She suddenly realized that she hadn't thought things through as thoroughly as a teenager.
"Oh." Qiu Ling'er nodded. She also wanted to go to Shangjin with her sister.
"Brother, how did you know that man lives in Shangjin?"
Qiu Xu: "I guessed."
Although he did not know He Lin's identity, he could guess that his senior brother's cousin must be either rich or noble.
Li Zheng left, but before he left, he specially bought a lot of peanut candy for Gu Xiaoran.
He needed to go back to arrange some affairs. For Xiao Ran's sake, he wanted to go to Shangjin to stay for an extended period with Qiu Yun.
Over the past year, they have saved up a considerable amount of money.
When Xiao Ran grows up, they will return and continue to run their ranch.
Tonight, He Lin and Gu Xiaoran stayed at the Qiu residence in Qingyun.
That night, Gu Xiaoran stayed in Qiu Xu's bed.
"Junior Uncle, I'm leaving tomorrow. Will you miss me?"
Under the candlelight, Qiu Xu was engrossed in his book when he heard Gu Xiaoran's words. He turned to look at him and smiled.
"Now that you're gone, things will finally be quiet."
"Oh? You don't miss me? I'll tell you a secret, I'm looking for my mother."
Qiu Xu took it as a joke from Gu Xiaoran: "You won't find him."
"Why?" Receiving no reply, Gu Xiaoran got off the bed barefoot, stood directly in front of Qiu Xu, and cupped his chin in her hands.
"Junior Uncle, what is the reason?"
“You’re going to Dongjin, but your sister went to the west. You’re going east and west respectively…” Qiu Xu paused, then waved his hand away from Gu Xiaoran’s chubby little hand. “Uh, I was just talking nonsense.”
Unexpectedly, his seemingly casual words had already taken root in Gu Xiaoran's heart.
"Where is the west? Junior Uncle, how do you know Mother went there?"
"I don't know either. Maybe my sister went to Dongjin, who knows?" Qiu Xu carried Gu Xiaoran back to bed and turned back to continue reading.
That day, when Ling'er told him that his sister had gone to the west to do business, he guessed that his sister had gone to the Western Regions.
After all, he had learned a thing or two about gunpowder from his senior brother.
"Fine, don't tell me then." Gu Xiaoran rolled onto the bed, did a somersault, and fell asleep in the blink of an eye.
Just then, Jiang Liu's voice could be heard outside the door.
"Ah Xu, the preliminary examination for the first generation of scholars is coming up soon. Take a good rest these next few days."
Qiu Xu then realized that it was already late at night.
