At one o'clock in the afternoon, Si Chengfeng's carriage arrived at Huaqiao Village. When he thought that he was about to see the person he had been thinking about, Si Chengfeng's mouth curled up and he was in a very good mood.
In order to avoid attracting the attention of the villagers like last time, Si Chengfeng only asked the coachman to park the carriage at the entrance of the village and planned to walk into the village.
"Young Master, we're here!"
After parking the carriage under the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village, the driver lifted the curtain of the carriage. Then, driver Chengfeng, wearing a white brocade robe and holding a rosewood folding fan, got out of the carriage.
"Drive the carriage somewhere else first, and come back here at twilight hour to wait."
"Yes, young master!"
Just as the coachman turned his horse around and was about to leave, a red and black figure jumped out of the carriage.
"Feng Qiyan?"
“Why are you here?!
"Go back to the villa right now!"
Looking at his sister who suddenly appeared, Si Chengfeng couldn't help but grit his teeth.
"Humph! Now that I'm here, I want to go play too."
Ever since she'd seen the portrait last night, Feng Qiyan had been incredibly curious about the woman her brother loved. After lunch today, she saw him again, lost in thought, gazing at the portrait. He'd even coaxed her into a nap while he sneaked off in a carriage. Fortunately, she was clever enough to slip into the carriage and hide while he wasn't paying attention.
Hey! Feng Qiyan now feels more and more that she is a really clever little elf.
Looking at this smug little girl, Si Chengfeng's heart was broken. He never expected that his sister would secretly hide in the carriage and follow him to Huaqiao Village.
Seeing that Feng Qiyan was sticking to him, Si Chengfeng wanted to go back to the town, but it was too late because they were surrounded by a group of villagers who were watching the fun.
"Wow! What a handsome young man!"
"He's so handsome, almost catching up with Mu Lige from that second-rate family!"
"It seems to be the man who came here in a carriage last time!"
"I think Mu Lige is more handsome."
"Hey, are you trying to kill yourself? Be careful Hua Qingcheng hears it!"
…
Si Chengfeng: ...
Si Chengfeng hadn't anticipated that even without a carriage, he would still attract the attention of the villagers. He quickly asked the driver to drive the carriage elsewhere. However, the villagers, presumably having seen enough of the carriage the previous time, didn't chase it this time. Instead, they all came over to watch him.
“Get out of the way, get out of the way!”
"Don't hang around my brother!"
Feng Qiyan, dressed in red and black, brandished her short sword, pushing the approaching villagers away. The villagers then noticed that there was a little girl with the handsome young man.
A loud "bang" was heard. It turned out that the mute old man who lived in the land temple across the street had fallen to the ground. He was about to go up the mountain to pick wild vegetables when he was pushed to the ground by the villagers who were watching Si Chengfeng.
"Grandpa, are you okay?"
Feng Qiyan heard the noise and immediately used her unsheathed dagger to push through the crowd, then squatted down and looked at the old man who had fallen to the ground.
The mute old man picked up the bamboo basket that had fallen on the ground and shook his head at the little girl in front of him who was dressed in expensive clothes. But when he saw Feng Qiyan's appearance clearly, he couldn't help but be secretly shocked.
"Brother, why doesn't this old man speak?"
"possible……"
Before Si Chengfeng could speak, someone in the crowd had already answered for him:
"He is a mute, of course he can't speak."
Hua Youcai was talking, but his triangular eyes were fixed on Si Chengfeng.
The village head's daughter, Hua Xiuhong, Hua Wenjie's sister, was equally astonished. She had never seen such a noble and handsome young man before, and her heart was beating like a deer.
The mute old man nodded at Feng Qiyan, then carried his bamboo basket and went to the end of the village. Before leaving, he gave Feng Qiyan a meaningful look.
Although Si Chengfeng felt that the old man looked at his sister in a somewhat strange way, he thought that the two of them could not have had any intersection, so he just thought that he was seeing things.
"Li Ge, where is Si Chengfeng?"
Hua Qingcheng ran from the main house in the backyard to the front yard but didn't see anyone, so she asked Mu Lige who was packing things in the front yard.
"It will probably take a while. A villager who just passed by said he saw him and a child at the village entrance."
Child?
Upon hearing this, Hua Qingcheng immediately rushed out of the front yard and headed towards the village entrance. The mute old man, who had already reached the path beside the fields to the west of the village, saw Hua Qingcheng passing by and couldn't help but stop, gazing at her receding figure in silence. After a while, he slung his bamboo basket over his shoulder and continued his staggering steps up the mountain.
He believed that some secrets would not be buried forever with the death of some people!
"Si Chengfeng!"
When Hua Qingcheng rushed to the village entrance, he saw a group of people surrounding him, and a child in red and black clothes holding a dagger was pushing through layer after layer of the crowd.
Feng Qiyan didn't expect that the people here were so scary. At this moment, she was a little regretful for following the carriage.
"Get out of my way!"
"If you don't get out of here, I'll blow your heads off!"
A sharp and cold voice suddenly hit the ears of the onlookers. When they saw it was Hua Qingcheng, everyone immediately dodged, turning the original circle into two parallel lines.
"Walk!"
Hua Qingcheng glanced at the gorgeously dressed little girl, grabbed her and Si Chengfeng's hands and walked towards the Hua family's old house.
Although the onlookers did not dare to step forward, they could not help but look towards the three people until they were out of sight.
"Could it be that Hua Qingcheng's romantic debts outside have come to her door?"
"But that child looks seven or eight years old. That's impossible, right?"
