"Qing'er, did you look closely at those people behind us? Are they really following us?
Maybe you're overthinking it. Or maybe they just happened to be following us. Don't scare yourself."
Although Yu Qingshu believed what Yu Qingqing said, he did not believe in himself.
I'm so unlucky to be followed again, so I still want to confirm it.
"Yes, sister, did you see it wrong?
Maybe they just happened to be going the same way as us, because there are so many people on the road. It can't be a coincidence, they must be following us."
Yu Qinghai also heard what Yu Qingqing said.
But he didn't quite believe it and thought that those people might just be there by coincidence. How could they follow them by such a coincidence?
"Dad, big brother, let me tell you, my feeling is not wrong. Because just now when I was talking to my uncle,
Aren't we standing here? Those people haven't moved at all.
But they would look towards us from time to time. If they were not observing Uncle and the others, then they were observing us.
Now my uncle and the others have left, but those people are still there without moving.
And we are here too, so I think he might be targeting us."
Although Yu Qingqing did not have direct evidence, what could she prove?
But she still told Yu Qingshu her thoughts. After all, if something like this was neglected,
What really happened later was very serious, so it is better to be cautious.
The entire road was now sparsely populated with people, most of whom were heading towards the same place.
There were very few people who had carriages, and most of them traveled on their own, each carrying their own luggage.
But there are indeed not many families like Yu Qingqing and her family.
The sun was already high in the sky, and the temperature on the ground had risen. People could already feel the heat when they stepped on the ground.
After walking for a while, everyone was sweating profusely.
There was nothing around to provide shelter, it was all bare. There was nothing but grass, and even trees were scarce.
"Qing'er, let's just pretend that we didn't notice them and walk faster.
Try to get rid of them, and if you really encounter danger later, everyone will run away and find a place to hide."
Although Yu Qingshu wanted to hope for the best, since his daughter had said so, he probably knew they were being targeted, so he could only try his best to get rid of them.
"Husband, are you really okay? What if they rush over? Can we really get rid of them?"
Hua Qinglu was standing by and heard what her daughter and husband said.
I was still scared and asked Yu Qingshu nervously.
"Mom, don't worry, we can just go to where there are more people.
If they do take action, we will seek help from nearby people or find a place to hide."
Yu Qinghai stepped forward to support Hua Qinglu and directly picked up Yu Qingji.
Then Yu Qingqing and the others walked forward as fast as they could, hoping to get rid of those people.
In fact, Yu Qingqing guessed correctly, those people were indeed targeting them.
Seeing that the family was alone, they wanted to rob them to see if they could steal something. Even if there was nothing, they still had the women.
Due to the critical situation, Yu Qingshu and Yu Qinghai both walked at the back.
If something really happened, they would try to delay the situation and allow their daughter and wife to escape as soon as possible.
Hua Yuanyuan and Yu Qingmei supported each other and tried hard to move forward.
Although the sun was very strong and they were a little tired, they knew there was someone following them and did not dare to stop.
At 2:15 pm, the guest came to the inn.
At the "Kelai" Inn, Chen Yi and his friends got up early in the morning, washed and packed up, ready to continue to "Dongyu".
This morning, Yuan Yi examined Yuan Xichen and found that he showed signs of improvement.
I guess the medicine he drank, combined with the acupuncture, worked. I believe he'll wake up soon.
"Is Chen Yi ready? If you're ready, we can set off, right? By the way, how's the investigation going on with Ying Twenty?
Have you contacted him, or found any clues he left behind?"
Yuan Yi saw the shadow guard and carried Yuan Xichen to the carriage. Everything was ready.
Before leaving, he remembered that he had lost contact with Ying Twenty, so he wanted to ask if he had been able to get in touch with her.
“I received news this morning that Ying Twenty was probably captured by someone.
He left clues at the place where he lived before. Didn't he say before that he found a group of people pretending to be his master's subordinates?
I guess he was captured by that group of people and is still in the town.
I've sent people to look for him, and I'm sure there will be news soon. Let's go ahead, and the people behind us will find him and bring him here."
Chen Yi carefully inspected the carriage and after confirming that everything was correct, he prepared to set off.
He has already left someone behind to deal with the matter of Shadow Twenty. When the person is found, he will be brought over.
At this time, early in the morning in "Hukou Town", there were still some people setting up stalls and the like.
But there weren't many, and the atmosphere in the whole town was a bit deserted.
No one knew what had happened, but many soldiers appeared on the streets of Hukou Town, patrolling as if they were looking for something.
"Chen Yi, go and ask. What are they looking for? Rummaging around in the streets like this will definitely disturb the people."
Yuan Yi was about to get into the carriage, but he saw the officers and soldiers rummaging around in the street.
The merchants who were disturbed by them did not dare to speak. He was a little disgusted with this behavior, so he asked Chen Yi to inquire about the situation.
"Okay, I got it. I'll go ask, you wait here for me."
Chen Yi had no objection to this, so he got off the carriage and walked towards the officers and soldiers.
"What are you looking for with all this fanfare? It's so early in the morning, and you're disturbing the people.
Aren't you afraid of affecting the normal lives of the people? Your county magistrate allows you to do whatever you want."
Chen Yi walked up to an officer and took out a token.
After seeing this, the officer was speechless. Facing Yuan Yi's questioning, he was stunned for a moment.
"Yes, sir. It's like this. The county magistrate lost something, so the town is on high alert. I'm sorry for disturbing you, sir. Please forgive me."
The officers and soldiers nearby saw that the person being questioned was stunned.
So he helped him out in time and spoke politely, for fear of offending Chen Yi.
"What was lost that requires such fuss to find?
Chen Yi didn't take the soldiers' reaction to heart. Instead, he became curious about what the county magistrate could have lost.
"Sir, may I have a word with you? It is really not convenient to say it directly."
