"boom!"
The tea bowl in Mother He's hand also fell to the ground.
"What are you afraid of? This matter has alarmed the government. They posted a list to arrest Lian'er's father. This is really bad..." He's mother suddenly fell into panic. She didn't know where to put her hands, and she stood there. There was trembling all over.
He Lian'er hurried over to support He's mother. Although her own mind was blank and her ears were still buzzing, she still managed to comfort Mother He over and over again: "Mom, don't panic. It's more like this at this time." The more we cheer up, everything will be solved..."
He's mother shook her head, tears already rolling out, "Lian'er, you are still young and don't understand. The people should not fight with the government. The government is a big melting pot. We, the common people, have done something wrong and even a hundred mouths can't explain it clearly." ...The government has posted a notice, which means that your father has been convicted of murdering someone. Even if we go to Qing'an County, your father will still be a fugitive. No matter where he hides, he will not be able to live in peace for the rest of his life. …”
He Lian'er was stunned.
Father He on the bed also looked pale, his eyes full of humiliation and grief.
He slammed the bed board twice and gritted his teeth, but did not say a word.
He Lian'er could only turn her help-seeking eyes to Xiao An. Her beautiful big eyes were filled with tears, but she held back the tears from flowing out.
"Brother Xiao An, my dad...is my dad really going to be arrested by the government?"
Seeing the look in He Lian'er's eyes, Xiao An said without hesitation: "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, your uncle won't be arrested by the officials."
He Lian'er nodded repeatedly, and two tears accidentally fell out of her eyes because of this action.
An inexplicable sense of heroism and responsibility rose up in Xiao An's chest, and the girl's tears were like a bowl of hot spicy soup, filling him with fighting spirit.
He turned around and continued to say to Father He: "Obviously, Wang Ba used his connections to confuse the matter and reported it to the Donglin County Yamen. The county magistrate issued a pursuit order without investigation. Wang Ba's side Perhaps because they are not very familiar with the appearance of Auntie, Sister Lianer, and myself, they only drew a portrait of you, Uncle He, and listed you as a key target. Because they knew that as long as they caught you, Auntie and Lian My son and sister will definitely not be able to escape!"
Father He nodded, and he and Xiao An thought of going together.
"Wang Ba's brother works as the security guard in Qingniu Town. He must have reported it to the county through his brother's connections. That's when a county-wide arrest warrant was issued to arrest me!" Father He said with a face full of hatred.
The world is really unfair, right and wrong are all reversed, officials guard each other, how can one with money, power and connections resolve the case like this?
"By the way, Brother Xiao An," He Lian'er said suddenly. She looked at him doubtfully, "Didn't you say you were going to find the chief security officer of Qingyang Town? As long as you reveal your identity to him and explain the whole story clearly, you might be able to find him. Got help?"
Mentioning this, Xiao An's eyebrows were slightly annoyed.
He patted his head, blushed slightly and explained: "I'm ashamed to say that I lost the token I was wearing to prove my identity..."
Maybe it was thrown into a dry well in Tianba Village, maybe it was in Longjia Village, or even more likely on the way to escape...
"Without the token, the security guard can't trust you, right?" He Lian'er asked again.
Xiao An nodded, "Well, after all, we have never met. Maybe you will believe it, maybe not. I don't dare to take the risk." Qingniu Town and Qingyang Town are neighboring towns, and the security chiefs of these two towns must recognize each other. They are all small towns under the jurisdiction of Donglin County. The eight villages in this area must be closely related, and there are frequent intermarriages and business transactions between them. Three people in the middle may be related to each other.
Xiao An wandered the streets for a long time and ran to many places, and finally decided to give up.
"It's over," Mother He suddenly shuddered, "Xiao An, the notices have been posted, and your uncle's portrait has also been posted. Wouldn't it be too conspicuous for us to live in this inn? Will there be any officials coming to check?"
Xiao An said: "Auntie, don't panic. When we came to stay, my uncle's face was lying on my back. No one should have seen his face clearly. If no one reported it, the officials from Qingyang Town would not come to search. .”
"Oh..." Mother He's heart was still hanging in the air, "Then let's get out of here quickly?"
Xiao An then added: "The problem at hand is that there is a notice posted outside. If we go out like this, it will easily attract attention on the street."
"It has been posted at the city gate, and it must have been posted at the city gates on the north and south sides. They may also check the passers-by. As long as we leave this inn, it will be really difficult to hide."
As for him, although he was well equipped with boxing and kicking skills, he would definitely not be able to fight against so many officers and soldiers by himself.
What's more, he has three old, weak, sick and disabled people with him. If any of them makes any mistakes during the melee, he will be blamed!
Therefore, you must think of a safe way and avoid being impatient.
"It really doesn't work. Xiao An, you take their mother and daughter and leave first. I'll hide somewhere by myself and come to me after you've settled them down." Father He thought about it for a while and gave his opinion decisively.
Mother He shook her head, "No, your legs are like this, where can you hide? I'll stay with you and let Xiao An take Lian'er to go first!"
"I also want to be with my parents. Our family must be together whether alive or dead." He Lian'er hugged He's mother's arm with a very determined attitude.
Father He was anxious and slapped the bed board a few times, "Since when do you have to deal with these things belonging to your mother-in-law and mother-in-law? If you can leave, count them all!"
"father……"
"Uncle He, don't say frustrating words!" Xiao An spoke again.
As soon as he spoke, everyone else fell silent and all looked at him.
It seems that although his surname is not He, after these days and nights of life and death, he has become the backbone of the He family.
"We shouldn't be able to leave this town, but I searched a lot today and found a place where I can stay temporarily. I heard that it was a haunted house. A few years ago, several members of the family were killed and then the house was destroyed. The government is closed, no one dares to enter..."
Mother He took a deep breath and felt a chill running down her spine.
He Lian'er was also scared, but she still tensed her body and stood there, using the warmth in her palms to give He's mother courage.
"Let's hide there first. Under Lian'er's disguise, I will take you out of the town first. The wronged uncle and aunt will hide there for two days. When we arrive in Qing'an County, I will report the situation to Mr. Ning Suning and then bring others over. Pick you up."
"Brother Xiao An, I don't want to leave. I will stay and take care of my father. You take my mother and leave first." He Lian'er said.
Mother He quickly shook her head, "No, you take Lian'er away."
"If mother doesn't leave, I won't leave either. Then let brother Xiao An go alone first. Taking me with you will only drag him down. It's better for him to leave quickly and come back quickly." He Lian'er said again.
"Lian'er and Xiao An go together!" Father He said again, this time in a decided tone.
"This is the best way at the moment. After you leave, your mother and I will hide in the haunted house that Xiao An found. Everyone is safe. That's it."
He Lian'er covered her mouth and shed tears and did not refute.
Xiao An lowered his head to Father He's bow and said in a guilty voice: "I won't leave anyone behind, but the current situation requires us to leave in batches. Uncle, aunt, I'm going to make you suffer. It's useless for Xiao An..."
