Liang Chen thought that this little mouse was very smart, and since it helped him find food, he let Xiao Hui go.
After enduring the most difficult period, Miss Lianyi went to the farm, dealt with the main culprit, and distributed food, cloth, and silver to them. These were all the things that the head of the farm had embezzled from them and originally belonged to them.
Because Liang Chen boldly exposed the main culprit, the head of the village, he was valued by the young lady and learned a lot from her. He also began to practice martial arts and read. Later, he would go hunting in the mountains, catching some pheasants and rabbits and bringing them home to nourish his mother.
By chance, he hunted a snake. After cutting open the snake's belly, he accidentally rescued Xiao Hui who had been swallowed by the snake. From then on, Xiao Hui followed Liang Chen.
Every time Liang Chen went into the mountains to hunt, Xiao Hui could help him find rabbit nests, pheasant eggs, etc. in advance. Liang Chen felt that he had a tacit understanding with Xiao Hui, so he kept it by his side.
Because animals are very sensitive and have a natural sense of danger, Liang Chen took Xiao Hui with him when he left with the young lady.
At this time, Xiao Hui's behavior was a warning, indicating that the surroundings were unsafe, so Chu Liangchen grabbed Xiao Hui and went to see Miss Lianyi.
After listening to Liang Chen's words, Lianyi glanced at Xiao Hui and tapped the other's head. She was a little surprised that this little mouse actually had a trace of Soul-Eating Rat blood in it. Although it was very thin, it was this trace of blood that made it smarter than ordinary mice and live longer.
"I got it! Tell everyone to be careful and alert. This is the only place suitable for overnight stay within a few miles. Hang out for one night. We will leave early tomorrow morning."
"Yes, Miss!"
Liang Chen then stuffed Xiao Hui back into his arms and went to prepare things for camping.
Lianyi spread out his spiritual sense and scanned the surroundings. Finding nothing unusual, he lowered the curtain and continued reading his storybook.
When the sun set, another group of people came to the other side of the waterfall. They seemed to have the same idea as Lianyi and his group, planning to spend the night here and continue their journey at dawn.
However, when Wen Lu and Min Min saw this group of people, their faces changed. They avoided their sight and turned to meet Lian Yi.
"Miss, the group of people who came later are escorts. They should be escorting something through this place, and this group of escorts knows us mother and daughter."
Wen Lu did not hide anything and told Lianyi directly.
"But the escort company where your late husband worked has also exploited you and your daughter?"
Lianyi remembered asking someone to investigate this mother and daughter, so she knew some of the circumstances.
"Yes, Miss! The head of the escort company fell in love with Minmin and wanted her to marry his son. I disagreed, so he started to deduct the money I earned from escorting, and even took the opportunity to arrange for his son and Minmin to meet by chance."
Wen Lu said through gritted teeth.
"I'm not a fool. After a few times, I realized something was wrong. I asked my mother and found out that the chief escort had set his sights on me.
The escort leader's son said he was a scholar, but I think he was just a sleazy person with a slender figure. He can't write many poems, but he is good at eating, drinking, whoring and gambling."
Minmin put a look of disgust on her face and continued with what her mother was saying.
"The head escort leader was attracted by Minmin's good skills and the fact that I am a widow and easy to control. He wanted Minmin to carry on the family line and take over the burden of the escort agency in the future and continue to work like a slave for them. Naturally, I am unwilling to do so.
When the chief escort saw that I disagreed, he asked a single escort in the agency to approach me, trying to trick me into marrying him. If he became my husband, he would be able to decide Minmin's marriage.
But after I found out, I was ready to take Minmin away from the escort agency. At that time, Zheng Tong came to look for me, so I took this opportunity to leave the escort agency.
When we left, we didn't take anything except the silver bills. Later, thanks to the lady's appreciation, we stayed at the farm. We rarely went out on weekdays, so they didn't discover our whereabouts.
The leader of the escort team this time is the one who deliberately approached me. I don't know if they still remember us after three years, and whether they will come to trouble us again, so I came to inform you, young lady, and ask you to make the decision. "
Wen Lu explained the reason.
"Miss, we don't want to cause you any trouble. Let's avoid them first and reunite with them after they leave."
Minmin bit her lip and suggested.
"I know! From the beginning to the end, this matter was not your fault. It was just that the chief escort saw that you were an orphan and a widow, so he wanted to take advantage of you. It was also because you were tough and had enough military strength to protect yourselves, otherwise you would have been forced to stay.
Now you are under my protection, why are you afraid of them? If they have any improper thoughts, as long as they dare to stretch out their hands, I will chop off their claws, and if they dare to stand out, I will chop off their heads. "
Ripple said generously.
"Yes, miss! We've got it in mind!"
There was a hint of a smile on Wen Lu's face, and Min Min responded loudly with a smile.
"Okay, get busy! Just do what needs to be done."
"yes!"
After getting Lianyi's approval, the mother and daughter no longer had any worries and did their own things step by step. They first patrolled the surroundings to make sure there were no security threats, and then they brought guards to set up a few simple warning traps.
The one-eyed leader of the Changwei Escort Agency opposite the waterfall also noticed Wen Lu and her daughter. He was a little surprised when he first saw them, but when he took another look, he found that the mother and daughter were becoming more and more beautiful, and it seemed that they were living a good life, as if they were working as private bodyguards.
He touched his chin, then looked at the number of people on the opposite side, and made up his mind. He then waved his hand, called his two deputies to his side, and gave them a few instructions.
The two assistants' eyes lit up and they immediately nodded in agreement:
"Captain, I saw two pretty maids. Give them to us brothers as a reward after the mission is accomplished!"
"Okay! Take the mother and daughter back to the chief escort. They don't know how to appreciate it. Before, they could be the wives of the junior escort, but now they can only be concubines."
The one-eyed man said with a vicious look on his face.
"That's right, they are so ungrateful."
Naturally, these conversations did not escape Lianyi's consciousness. She withdrew her consciousness and sighed. Then, when the night fell, she set up an array around the camp to protect the entire camp.
In the middle of the night, white mist emerged from the waterfall and quickly spread to the camps on both sides.
Lianyi was protected by a formation, so she didn't feel anything. Only the guards on night watch felt a little damp and cold, but because they were near the waterfall, they didn't care.
But the camp of the escort team on the opposite side was in a terrible state. The white fog extinguished the fire in the camp, and then there was a rustling sound, and then the people who were sleeping in the tent made muffled groans one after another.
Finally, there was a roar, which woke up the rest of the people and also alarmed Lianyi.
"What's going on?"
The two guards on Lianyi's side immediately stood up and drew their knives.
"You don't need to go over and check. Stay here and don't move rashly."
Ripple's voice came from behind the two of them.
My dears, here are three chapters. There will be more chapters after dinner and before 10 o'clock! Stay tuned!
