"Then let's buy the land." Xiao Han said.
"It's better to wait. It's too ostentatious to buy now." Xiao Ming comforted, "Besides, you won't be able to manage it if you go to town to study in the future." Studying is the most important thing now, and she doesn't want to delay Xiao Han's studies because of livelihood issues.
"Okay." Xiao Han was a little disappointed,
"You don't have to be disappointed. We have enough money now and have a fixed income every month. Don't be too obsessed with making money." Xiao Ming comforted her. She knew that her brother wanted to carry the family and share the pressure. desire.
"Well, I know I will study hard in the future and get a good name so that my sister doesn't have to be so tired." Xiao Han said excitedly. He must stand out and let his sister and Xiaoyu live a good life.
"Aunt, Xiao Yu also needs to study hard and let aunt live a good life." Xiao Yu, the little bun, also followed Xiao Han.
Seeing them swearing and guaranteeing like this, Xiao Ming was instantly smitten by these two handsome and cute little buns. She felt sweet in her heart, but her rationality still remained, "Read more and know how to advance and retreat with etiquette. You don't have to pass the exam." Fame, thirty-six lines, and being the number one scholar, as long as I live an upright life and am worthy of heaven and earth, I will feel at ease." Xiao Ming said to Xiao Han and Xiao Yu, she didn't want them to lose their true intentions because of this.
She is confident that she can make her family's life better without fame or fortune.
Late at night, the hustle and bustle of the day in Pingcheng County came to an end and became peaceful. In a courtyard with three entrances in the city, a handsome and prosperous man was sitting in his study reading a book.
The room was silent, the candlelight flickered, and the man frowned slightly, showing that something was bothering him.
Several lights illuminated the courtyard, and two young attendants stood at the door, looking around with alert eyes.
A man walked from afar, tired and dusty, and stopped at the door. He was dressed in black clothes and blended in with the night.
"Xia Liu, Xia Qi, is the prince inside?"
"Xia Wu, come in." A cold voice came from the room.
After Xia Wu entered the room, he knelt down and apologized, "Your Majesty, I am incompetent and did not find Xiaoba."
"Finally found out where he is." The young man said.
"On the official road not far from Ping'an Town, my subordinates went into the town to look for them but couldn't find them. However, I heard that the head and deputy head of the Sihai Bodyguard Company in the town were stabbed for no reason that day. I'm afraid it was them. "
The man closed his eyes silently, remained silent for a while, and then said slowly: "Keep looking, if you want to see the person alive, if you want to see the body if you are dead."
"Even if I find it, I'm afraid..." Xia Wu didn't finish his last words. The man understood the meaning of his words. Xia Wu's heart ached, thinking of the last time he saw Xiaoba, with numerous stab wounds on his body, his arms broken, and his intestines leaking out. Even if he was rescued, there would be no cure.
Thinking of Xiaoba, Xia Wu felt sad. Xiaoba was the youngest child in the family. He was lively, cute, and very lovable. Apart from training, he loved to follow him around since he was a child. It's a pity that he disappeared like this.
The Xia family has been the general of the Dingguo Marquis Shi family since the first generation. Their parents have taught them since they were born to protect the Shi family to the death. Since the eldest prince disappeared after the accident six years ago, they have followed the prince to run away. Going west, they conducted overt and covert investigations, hoping to find the eldest prince who had fallen into the hands of the people. However, they were constantly blocked and intercepted by a dark force. They searched hard and finally found some clues in Pingcheng.
Unexpectedly, Xiaoba followed them secretly. After they discovered that a suspicious person also appeared in Pingcheng, they planned to find out the truth. Unexpectedly, Xiaoba relied on his good qinggong to eavesdrop. When he found out, Xiaoba had already been arrested. Someone was stabbed and his life was in danger. He took Xiaoba and escaped desperately. After diverting the pursuers, he returned to Xiaoba's hiding place, but Xiaoba was missing.
In a hurry, I searched for more than a month but couldn't find it.
After suffering such a serious injury, I'm afraid there would be no bones left long ago, but he didn't want to believe it in his heart.
"The prince has wasted little time for Xiao Ba, and he also asked the prince to return to the capital immediately." Xia Wu advised, there was an imperial edict to return to the capital long ago, but the prince has been delayed in returning because of Xiao Ba.
Suddenly, Xia Liu's surprised voice came from outside, "Master, Xiaoba is back."
Shi Tingyu, the prince of Dingguohou, suddenly stood up with a look of disbelief on his face. Xia Wugen didn't care about anything and rushed out of the room.
When he left the room, he saw a man standing in the courtyard. He was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a pale face, but his lively eyes looked at him. He was not Xiaoba.
"Xiao Ba, you are still alive." The tough guy shed tears of lost and recovered tears.
"Ahem, Fifth Brother, you are making me feel so uncomfortable." Xia Wu coughed and said weakly.
The Xia brothers in the courtyard were happy for Xia Ba's safe return. Shi Tingyu breathed a sigh of relief quietly. These people in the courtyard were all people who had grown up with him. Although they were guards, they were closer than brothers.
After calming down, Shi Tingyu called Xia Wu and Xia Ba into the study.
"Xiaoba, tell me how you escaped and who saved you." Shi Tingyu pointed to a chair and asked them both to sit down and talk.
"I don't know. I was injured at the time and was in a daze. I just ran. When I woke up, I found myself lying in an inn in Ping'an Town." Xia Ba explained honestly.
"Your belly and arms." Xia Wu was confused. He saw with his own eyes how badly Xiaoba was injured.
"I don't understand this either. The arm has been reattached and the stomach is completely fine." Xiaoba waved his injured arm, which didn't look like he was injured at all. He even took off his clothes and showed them the wounds on his body.
His body was covered with scars, and each wound was connected with unknown threads and was slowly healing.
"When I woke up, my body was in severe pain and I couldn't get out of bed. Fortunately, there were a few apples beside the bed, otherwise I would have starved to death. I ate apples for a few days before I could get out of bed slowly. Bed and meals were delivered outside the room every day. I lay in the room to recuperate, and I dared not come back until I felt better." Xiaoba told his story of recuperation for more than a month.
"You have met a miracle doctor. Can you see clearly what he looks like?" Xia Wu asked. Shi Tingyu listened carefully and tapped his fingers on the table, thoughtfully.
"I was unconscious at the time and didn't see it." Xiao Bada said. When he woke up, there was no one around. He had been recovering for more than a month and had not met anyone who rescued him. "I asked the inn, and the guy said it was a room rented by a young guy."
The clerk was also surprised that the person who rented the room had changed. He thought he had remembered it wrongly because he had not woken up, which made the shopkeeper scold him for a while.
