"He is a madman and a desperado." The usually steady Second Master Zhuang was obviously really anxious.
Chen Yan was very calm.
He said, "Second Master Zhuang, you all have power and influence, but I have none. Killing Pang Lin was already difficult, and as for the others... I can't do anything."
Chen Yan sighed, obviously not wanting revenge anymore.
Zhuang Er laughed in anger: "Chen Yan, I know who you are, so you don't have to pretend."
He breathed a sigh of relief: "Tell me, what do you want? I can agree to it."
Chen Yan looked at him for a while and said, "Send Su Wei and my mother-in-law out. I'm worried about them staying in the city."
Zhuang Er was reluctant. He felt that Su Wei and Aunt Lan were just hostages. With them around, Chen Yan would still obey him. But if they left, what if Chen Yan plotted against him again?
Zhuang Er then looked at Chen Yan again and realized how confused he was. Chen Yan was alone. Even if he had some schemes and tricks, how could he really turn the tables in the face of the Zhuang family's strength?
"Okay." Zhuang Er smiled and said, "My mother still likes Su Wei and Aunt Lan very much, but if they want to leave, they can leave."
Aunt Lan nervously squeezed Su Wei's hand and asked softly, "Did something happen to your father and the others?"
Su Wei shook his head: "It's okay."
If something happened to Su Dad and Su Zhuo, Chen Yan wouldn't react like this. It's most likely...
Su Wei didn't think about it any further, because Chen Yan came back. He smiled at Su Wei, reached out and pinched her face, and said gently: "I'll take you out of the city."
Su Wei looked up and asked, "Aren't you leaving?"
Chen Yan shook his head: "I still have some things to do. When I finish my work, I will go back to the village to find you."
Su Wei nodded: "Then you have to be careful, I'll wait for you."
Chen Yan hired someone to help drive the ox cart. Their luggage was on the cart. Chen Yan loaded it one by one onto the cart. Even after everything was done, Su Wei was still distracted.
"You must come back, I'll be waiting for you," she said.
Chen Yan smiled and said, "Okay."
The oxcart left the city and was no longer visible. Zhuang Er came over and said to Chen Yan, "Once this is done, you will see each other soon."
Chen Yan glanced at him without saying anything.
…
After the ox cart went out of the city for a while, Su Wei saw a horse carriage on the side of the road.
Su Zhuo jumped off the carriage and saw Su Wei and Aunt Lan running towards him excitedly.
"Mom, sister, you're finally here. Dad said you'd be quick."
Su Wei glanced back.
"No one is following." The driver was a middle-aged man. He held up his hat. Su Wei was very familiar with his face. He was the father of the naughty kid next door.
Su Wei gave the man twenty taels of silver and said, "Thank you for your help, big brother."
"No trouble."
The man took the money and left without asking any questions.
As soon as he left, Su Wei said to everyone: "This is not the place to talk."
So everyone went to where Su Yi and his group were staying, which was an inn in a town.
Han Yu knew the shopkeeper here. He had come to Han Ancient City before and saved the shopkeeper's life.
Su Wei entered the room, closed the door, glanced at everyone, and then said, "Next, let's do this."
…
Bian San and his men hid for three days. They slept in the wild, ate dry food when they were hungry, and ate snow when they were thirsty. One day, they finally found a dilapidated temple to rest.
There was a half-grown child in the temple who was cooking something to eat.
When Bian San and others came in, the half-grown child took a step back in fear and looked at them nervously.
Bian San walked over and took a look at the pot, and found that it was filled with dough balls. The boy added some salt and chopped green onions. Maybe it was because he hadn't eaten hot rice for a long time, but the rice was surprisingly fragrant.
"What are you doing?" The half-grown child looked at them as if protecting his food.
Bian San glanced at him and found that the child's legs were shaking. He couldn't help but sneer.
"Kid, we're paying for your food."
The half-grown child swallowed and looked at them, probably thinking that they were beggars and poor people like him, and they spent money to buy his things. Stop joking.
Bian San took out a few copper coins from his pocket and threw them on the ground.
The child was unmoved.
Bian San threw another small piece of silver. The half-grown boy was happy this time. He picked up the silver and was about to leave, but Bian San grabbed him and said, "This little bit is not enough for us brothers to share. Cook another pot and grandpa will give you another piece of silver."
The half-grown child nodded quickly: "Okay..."
Bian San brought a dozen people with him, and the dilapidated temple was filled in a short time. Everyone was very sleepy, so they left two people to guard outside, and the others lit a fire to roast food. Bian San took the bowl next to him, filled himself a bowl of dumpling soup and started to eat.
When the others saw him like this, their stomachs growled. Bian San knew that if he didn't give these people food at this time, trouble would arise.
He said generously, "Brothers, eat it all."
But there were not many things, so they were quickly distributed.
The half-grown child took out half a bag of flour and made another pot.
He also proudly said: "This is good flour from the grain and oil shop."
Bian San sneered, but his eyes were cold enough to chill people to the bone. He asked quietly, "Where did you get the good flour from the grain and oil shop?"
Late at night, a little beggar appeared in a dilapidated temple, cooking dumpling soup. He looked very suspicious...
