Xu Zhuohua was hungry and thirsty, and the wound on her head was still throbbing. She was groggily woken up by someone.
It is Xinghua and Xu Jixin.
Xinghua carefully poured water into Xu Zhuohua's water bottle, but Xu Zhuohua snatched it and gulped down most of the cup.
Xu Jixin took out a small package, squatted down in front of Xu Zhuohua, and looked very ashamed. "I'm sorry, I didn't ask what you thought, and I've caused you to be like this."
Xu Zhuohua looked at the heavy little package and asked, "Second Brother, what do you mean by this?"
Xu Jixin opened the package, which was full of silver dollars, silver notes, and other valuables.
"Here is your travel money. The two-day deadline given by Cheng Muyun is approaching. Your parents are planning to tie you up and send you to the Cheng family. I can't bear to see you suffer. Take this money and go."
"ah?"
Xu Zhuohua hadn't even realized that Xu Jixin would place her in a position higher than the interests of the Xu family.
“When I was studying, I bought a small courtyard house. Nobody knows about it. Xinghua will take you there. You can stay there for now, and we'll contact each other again when things calm down.”
Xinghua helped Xu Zhuohua up, and Xu Zhuohua looked at Xu Jixin and said, "Thank you, Second Brother."
Xu Jixin shook his head, "No need to be polite. Once you're out, don't go to any more protests, or you'll get caught again. I can't help you if you fall into Cheng Muyun's hands. Also, don't show your face in public..."
Xu Jixin explained a lot, like an old mother sending her child to college.
I'll take you all the way to the main road intersection. "That's all I'll take you. You can walk the rest of the way yourself."
Xu Zhuohua nodded gratefully, "Thank you, Second Brother."
Xu Jixin waved his hand, and Xu Zhuohua and Xinghua's figures disappeared into the morning mist.
A short while later, a man in military uniform walked out from behind Xu Jixin.
Xu Jixin looked at the vast expanse of white and said, "Young Marshal Cheng, this is all I can do for you. Please keep your promise."
The man smirked, “The Dongzhou Army will immediately take over the southern route eastward and ensure its safety.”
Xu Jixin said, "That's not what I meant."
The man said, "I know, I won't force Xu Zhuohua's will."
Thank you.
