Chapter 403: Moving Like a Rabbit
With three younger sisters and Yan Wenyi present, Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai couldn't just chase after them to investigate. They looked at each other and silently looked away.
After walking a few steps, Yan Wenkai suddenly bent down, holding his stomach and yelling, "Oh, my stomach hurts so much, I have to go to the toilet. Big sister, let my third brother take you back."
Those guys looked like martial artists, but they were dressed like farmers. There must be something strange about them.
Now that my father is the prefect of Ningmen Prefecture, if he sees suspicious people coming in or out, he has the responsibility to investigate thoroughly.
Seeing Yan Wenkai hurriedly running to the toilet, Yan Wenyi shouted, "Wenkai, don't worry, we are waiting for you."
Yan Wentao smiled and said, "No need to wait for him. He'll be back when he's done. Let's go. I'll take you back first."
Daohua looked at her fourth brother who was running away holding his stomach, then looked at her third brother who seemed fine, without saying anything, she pulled Yan Yunxi and the other brother towards the place where the families gathered.
After sending the four people to the elders of the Yan family, Yan Wentao found an excuse to come out again. However, before he could go far, he was blocked by Daohua.
"Third brother, what are you and fourth brother going to do?"
Seeing the worry on Daohua's face, Yan Wentao hesitated for a moment, then said, "Something seemed amiss with those people just now. Wenkai and I need to go investigate. Uncle is the prefect of Ningmen Prefecture. If anyone commits a crime in this area, he will be punished."
It would have been fine if she hadn't said it, but once she did, Daohua became even more worried: "Then we have to tell father immediately. If you and fourth brother chase after them, what if something happens?" As she said that, she was about to go back.
Yan Wentao immediately grabbed her and said, "We don't know anything right now. It would be bad to tell uncle rashly, right?"
Daohua: "What's wrong with that? Even if it's all in vain, it's better than you two taking the risk."
After saying that, he turned around and ran away without waiting for Yan Wentao to speak.
Seeing this, Yan Wentao was helpless. Thinking that Wen Kai was still waiting for him, he was worried that he would catch up alone. After thinking about it, he quickly turned around and went to look for him.
When Daohua and Yan Zhigao hurried over, Yan Wentao was gone.
"Third brother must have gone to look for fourth brother. Let's catch up and see."
Yan Zhigao was anxious and angry at this moment. His two children were too bold. When they met a suspicious person, they didn't tell him first, but chased him by themselves. If something happened, how would he explain to his mother, wife, and third brother and sister-in-law?
However, this is not the time to pursue these issues. Let’s find someone to talk to first.
Looking at his eldest daughter running in the front, Yan Zhigao sighed again and hurriedly caught up with her.
"Girl, the master is catching up."
"Don't look back, don't worry, we just run."
As long as he is not caught up by his cheap father, he can't ask himself to go back. Anyway, this is the suburbs outside the city and there is no one watching.
Then, a strange scene appeared in the team.
Daohua and Wang Maner ran in front, leaving Yan Zhigao's guards far behind.
The guards' physical strength was definitely not inferior to Daohua and the other two, but when it came to running, they might not be able to match them. Moreover, they also had to take care of Yan Zhigao, who was a weak scholar and was out of breath after running for a while.
Looking at his eldest daughter running away, Yan Zhigao panted and said to Qin Wu beside him, "Don't worry about me. Go and look after that girl and don't let her run around."
Qin Wu nodded: "Then Master, please slow down."
After Qin Wu caught up with Daohua, Yan Zhigao stopped running and started walking. "Hoo~Hoo~Hoo~, when we get back, we have to let Wen Xiu and Wen Kai and Wen Tao exercise. Otherwise, we won't be able to run if something unexpected happens."
Looking ahead, Yan Zhigao felt that his eldest daughter was in very good health, unlike other young ladies who would feel tired after walking for a while. She was as fast as a rabbit and was no less than Qin Wujicheng's eldest daughter.
Soon, Daohua brought Qin Wu to the toilet where Yan Wenkai had diarrhea, but there was no one there.
"What should I do? Third and fourth brothers must have gone after them themselves."
Qin Wu didn't know what to do and wanted to wait until Yan Zhigao arrived before making a decision.
But Daohua didn't want to just wait and waste time, so she took Wang Maner and went to chase after him.
Qin Wu didn't dare let her leave, and directly blocked her way: "Miss, I know you are worried about the Third and Fourth Masters, but we don't know what the situation is like ahead. It's really not easy for you, a girl, to continue chasing them."
Daohua was dissatisfied: "What's wrong with the girl? I won't be a drag. Uncle Qin Wu, tell me yourself, am I slower than you?"
Qin Wu said helplessly: "I don't know what you mean. What I mean is, if we still haven't found the Third Master and the Fourth Master by dark, are you going to spend the night outside?"
Hearing this, Daohua stopped talking and remained silent for a moment before asking, "What should we do then?"
Qin Wu: "Wait for the master to make a decision."
Seeing that her cheap father was still a long distance away, Daohua had no choice but to take Wang Maner and Qin Wuzhe back.
"Father, my third and fourth brothers have gone to chase after people on their own."
Yan Zhigao panted heavily, waved at Qin Wu, and pointed at the guards behind him: "You... all of you go find someone."
Qin Wu hesitated: "Master, if we all leave, what will you do?"
Rice Flower immediately said, "I'm here!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Yan Zhigao and the others looked at Daohua.
Daohua thought they didn't believe her, so she took the whip handed to her by Wang Maner and with a "snap", she knocked down a bunch of bushes on the side of the road.
Looking at the shrubs he had whipped, Yan Zhigao's eyelids twitched. His eldest daughter was not only fast but also good with the whip. He said to Qin Wu, "Go chase them. I'm fine here."
After Qin Wu and his guards left, Daohua looked at Yan Zhigao and asked, "Father, what should we do now?"
Yan Zhigao: "Go back to the mansion. If Qin Wu and the others don't come back for a while, I will send the yamen runners to look for them."
The father and daughter began to walk back.
"Father, you should exercise. I think if grandma comes, you might not even be able to outrun her."
"How is that possible? I'm a little weak, but I can still outrun your grandmother."
"Father, if you don't believe me, one day when you have time, go and compete with Grandmother and you'll find out."
“.”
"Father, please don't tell Grandmother and Mother about the third and fourth brothers chasing after someone, so as not to worry them."
"How could a father not know this? It took a little girl to remind him."
After meeting Old Lady Yan, Madam Li and others, Yan Zhigao said that Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai were called away by Dong Yuanxuan and others because of something urgent. Everyone did not suspect anything and started to go home.
When Daohua was about to get on the carriage, Yan Wenxiu stopped her.
Yan Wenxiu pulled Daohua aside and asked in a low voice, "Big sister, tell me the truth, did something happen?"
Daohua blinked her eyes and said, "Nothing's wrong."
Yan Wenxiu: "Where did Qin Wu and his family guards go?"
Daohua sighed. Her eldest brother was very attentive. He looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to them. Then he whispered, "They're chasing some suspicious people."
Yan Wenxiu frowned: "These two guys..."
Daohua thought for a moment and said, "Brother, don't blame the third and fourth brothers. Although they were a little reckless, they will encounter this kind of thing in the future. Now that father has sent Uncle Qin Wu and others over, I think nothing will happen."
Yan Wenxiu nodded, "Yeah." Then he looked at Daohua's sweat-soaked hair and said, "Okay, you should go back to the carriage and rest."
