Leng Xiaoran became even thinner, and even his originally fair and tender face looked dirty and darker.
If he hadn't taken the initiative to hug her, Chaoge really wouldn't have dared to recognize her!
"Little pigeon, you, you are really a little pigeon?!
Your face, your face is healed?! "
Finally, Aunt Li made a sound with difficulty from her throat.
But this voice still trembled with disbelief.
His cheeks were swollen and red, but he had long forgotten the pain, and tears kept flowing from his eyes.
The coachman looked at his mother, then looked at Chaoge, and after listening to his mother's words, he suddenly understood!
It turns out that the great benefactor his mother mentioned was the kindhearted girl who took him to the Yuefeng Restaurant for dinner? !
"Auntie Li, don't say anything, pack up your things, and we'll leave first."
Looking at the hemp ropes tied around Aunt Li and Leng Xiaoran, Chaoge felt extremely distressed.
Although he has no blood relationship with Leng Xiaoran, he has the experiences and memories of fleeing from famine, and this boy's dependence on him.
What they had experienced together was no less than what Chao Yu and Chao Yi had experienced together.
Deep down, she had long regarded them as her own brothers and sisters.
And at the moment when Leng Xiaoran's small body was hugging himself and trembling, Chaoge had already decided that she would never abandon him again!
Chaoge took out a dagger and cut the hemp ropes on the two men with one dagger. Then he picked up the basket in one hand and picked up Leng Xiaoran in the other, and was about to leave!
"It's right to leave. These people are all under the command of Uncle Lin Xiang.
You guys should run away quickly. It’s best not to come into the city again for the next few days.
This group of people only pick on ordinary people and bully them.
You can't afford to offend me, run away quickly!"
The vendors nearby looked at the family crying together. The old man had a bruised face and whip marks all over his body.
The young ones were covered in blood, with bruises on their faces and noses. And since he was such a skinny kid, I felt a little more sympathy for him and kindly reminded him.
Chaoge didn't care about whether he was the emperor's uncle or not. He just wanted to find a place to settle down a few people first.
She didn't know why Leng Xiaoran, who had clearly gone to live with her elder sister and brother-in-law, would be with Aunt Li?
And looking at their current situation, it doesn't look good at all.
Aunt Li quickly put the cakes into the shopping cart and didn't ask her son to pick them out.
She did not forget that her son still had an arrow wound on his shoulder. She quickly picked up the load, followed Chaoge hurriedly, and squeezed out of the crowd.
Before leaving, Chaoge did not forget to take back the silver needles from those people.
After all, sometimes it's best not to leave any evidence behind.
He did not forget to pick up their whips and whipped each of the three of them a few times until their clothes were torn and bloodstains appeared on their bodies. Only then did he feel relieved!
Fortunately, nothing serious happened. Perhaps the accomplices of that gang had not discovered the three unconscious people so quickly. Chaoge took Aunt Li and the others and quickly returned to Yuefeng Restaurant.
As soon as they reached the door, the innkeeper came to greet them with a smile.
Just as he was about to greet Chaoge, he suddenly saw Chaoge with two bloody men, looking miserable. The shopkeeper's face suddenly changed.
"Miss, what's going on?"
"Is the meal ready?"
Chaoge naturally didn't want to say much to the shopkeeper. Leng Xiaoran felt sorry for her and had already broken free from her arms and got to the ground.
At this time, Chaoge was carrying a backpack on his back, a bamboo basket in his left hand, and holding Leng Xiaoran's hand with his right hand.
They looked so miserable, just like Aunt Li and her son.
The shopkeeper looked behind them and did not see anyone chasing them. He breathed a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly.
"Alright, alright."
"How much silver? Take out the things and the food box will be delivered to you this afternoon."
"Miss, the VIP price is three hundred and sixteen taels. You don't have to send the food box back. I have prepared a carriage for you. Please follow me and let the driver take you back."
Since there was a carriage to ride in, Chaoge naturally wouldn't refuse.
Besides, Aunt Li and her son were covered in blood, and it was not convenient for them to walk on the street.
The main fear is that before we can even get back, that group of thugs will come after us with even more people.
It would be fine if she was alone, but it was really troublesome to take care of Aunt Li and her three elderly, weak and sick children.
After passing through the front hall of the restaurant, Chaoge arrived at the backyard of the restaurant for the first time.
In fact, there is still some distance from here to the real backyard of the restaurant. Right behind the front hall are various courtyard-style private rooms.
There are enclosed ones and pavilion-style ones, and the environment is quiet and elegant.
But at this moment, Chaoge had no intention of appreciating the Yuefeng Restaurant.
Several people quickly followed the shopkeeper through the corridor and walked through a moon-shaped archway before they officially arrived at the backyard of the restaurant.
The backyard of the restaurant was bustling with activity at this time. Thick smoke was belching out of several chimneys continuously, and the waiters serving dishes in the yard had to run the whole time!
Those who wash vegetables and dishes, no one dares to be lazy.
"I put the food box on the young lady's carriage early in the morning. I was waiting for her to arrive and asked the waiter to drive the carriage to the door.
But looking at you, young lady, what happened to you?
If you need my help, just ask. "
Chaoge didn't expect that, after only coming to eat three times, the shopkeeper could treat her to this extent.
"Thank you, boss. It's just a little trouble.
My friends just need to treat their wounds, so I won’t say more to you.
Thank you for the carriage."
Seeing that Chaoge was unwilling to speak, the shopkeeper did not force him. After nodding repeatedly, he helped them put the things on the carriage.
Then he gave a few instructions to the waiter driving the coach before saying goodbye to Chaoge and the others.
The joy of reunion made Aunt Li completely forget about Chaoge who was shocked at the moment. She spent more than three hundred taels for just a meal.
The driver endured the injury on his back, looked at Chaoge, then looked at his mother, still unable to believe that such a coincidence could happen in the world.
"Little dove, your face?"
"Let's talk about it when we get back."
Chaoge held Leng Xiaoran on her lap, and Leng Xiaoran hugged her neck tightly, just like when they fled from famine before, and he was still extremely dependent on her.
It seemed that she was too tired from crying, and the carriage was shaking, so she could hardly keep her eyelids open.
The restaurant's carriage took them to Yun Mansion. After Chaoge gave the coachman five taels of silver as a tip, the driver went back happily.
“Da’an Street Yunfu?
I've never heard of a family with the surname Yun on that street before?"
"Reporting to the shopkeeper, that is the courtyard next to the Minister of Revenue. It used to be the residence of General Zhang. Later, didn't General Zhang and his entire family go into exile?
That mansion has been empty for several years, and I don’t know when it became the Yun Mansion.”
After hearing the driver's report, the shopkeeper looked serious.
