Wen Fu thought for a while and said: "The people from Sihai Bank will definitely come to take revenge. They will probably come here tomorrow morning. I think we should leave here early tomorrow morning to avoid bringing disaster to the village."
After hearing this, Luo Chuan said angrily: "The Sihai Bank is certainly hateful, but the Boat Gang is the cause of the disaster. The Boat Gang is so hateful, why don't you go to the government to accuse it?"
Wen Fu replied: "Young hero, you don't know something. The government excuses that there are no witnesses or physical evidence and doesn't care at all! The government should have been bribed by the boat gang a long time ago, so the boat gang can be so wanton!"
Feixiang continued: "Second brother, let's talk about the boat gang later. Didn't Uncle Wen only borrow ten taels of silver from the bank? How did it become a thousand taels?"
Wen Fu said helplessly: "The money is in their hands, and they can change it however they want!"
Luo Chuan asked again: "Since this bank is so evil, why don't you find another bank?"
Wen Fu sighed and said: "Now in Nanyang City, all the banks belong to Sihai Bank. The other banks either had the shopkeeper's whole family killed, or the bank was burned down at night."
After hearing this, Xia Feng was shocked. He pondered for a while and said, "It seems that this Sihai Bank is very powerful, so this will cause some trouble!"
Wenfu said: "That's true. It is said that they have many powerful martial arts guards. In Nanyang City, they may have restrained themselves. I heard that there are several factions that restrain each other. For example, there is a Bafang Escort Agency, which is as powerful as them. . But in a remote place like ours, they are running rampant."
Ximen Shan smiled slightly and said: "Brother Wen, you don't have to worry. As long as we are here, you don't have to be afraid of them. We will teach them a lesson tomorrow so that they will not dare to come again!"
But Wen Fu shook his head and said: "Old sir, I know you can do it tomorrow. But you can't stay here every day. I think we can't stay here anymore, and we must leave early tomorrow morning."
However, Xiang'er seemed unwilling to leave her hometown and asked, "Dad, since they can't defeat Grandpa Ximen and Brother Xia, why do we need to leave?"
Wen Fu sighed and said: "Xiang'er, today these people are not very good at martial arts and are easy to deal with. But the ones coming tomorrow will definitely be masters, even if they can win. After Uncle Ximen, Xia Shaoxia and others leave, they will bring more What will we do when the people come? I have thought about it, only by leaving here can we ensure that the village will not suffer greater disasters."
Xiang'er thought for a while and realized that Wenfu was thinking about the whole village, so she asked, "Dad, where are we going?"
Wen Anfu immediately said: "Xiang'er, I have already thought about it. I will take you to Fangzhou to live with a relative. Let's do this. You go and settle down Uncle Ximen and the others first, and I will talk to Shaoxia Xia."
Seeing this, Ximen Shan knew that Wen Fu had something to discuss with Xia Feng and it was inconvenient for people like him to be there, so he took Feixiang and three others and followed Xiang'er out of the room.
Xia Feng smiled slightly and said: "Uncle, you should call me A Feng. Your injury has just recovered and you cannot move easily. I think you will be able to move around tomorrow morning. Do you have anything to say if you stay with me?"
Wen Fu nodded and asked: "A Feng, Xiang'er and I are going to Fangzhou. Where are you planning to go tomorrow?"
Xia Feng pondered for a moment and said: "Uncle, how can I leave you in your current situation. Since you are going to Fangzhou, I will naturally accompany you."
Xia Feng also said that it was his duty to go to Fangzhou to protect the Wen family's father and daughter, and to repay his late master's kindness and fulfill his filial piety. Only after he felt that the Wen family and his daughter were completely safe could he leave with peace of mind.
However, Xia Feng told Wen Fu that he would be the only one to accompany his father and daughter south tomorrow. Ximen's family wanted to go to Luoyang, to go north, so naturally they couldn't go with him.
But Wenfu thought it didn't matter and couldn't let himself affect the Ximen family's plan. Besides, they met me unexpectedly and gave me the elixir to heal my injuries. They were already a great help and could be regarded as life-savers. I can't be so selfish and continue to let others pay in vain.
Wenfu also said that he would leave the village tomorrow before the people from the bank came, so that the people from the bank would not be able to find him and they would not embarrass the villagers too much. As long as you go south and bypass Nanyang, the people in the bank will no longer be able to find you.
Xia Feng thought for a moment and felt that what Wen Fu said was reasonable, so he nodded and agreed to act according to Wen Fu's wishes. At this time, Xiang'er had settled down with Ximen's family and came back.
Xiang'er happened to hear what Wen Fu said and asked hurriedly: "Brother Xia, can my father walk tomorrow?"
Xia Feng shook his head and said, "Tomorrow you and your uncle will sit in the carriage. I'll try not to bump the carriage, so nothing will happen."
Xiang'er hesitated and said, "Brother, we have to walk such a long way, but we don't have money to stay in an inn."
Xia Feng smiled and said, "Don't worry. Didn't I just rob them of some silver? It's enough for us to use for a while."
Xiang'er recalled what happened on the road just now, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Yeah, how could I forget about this!" Xiang'er smiled, and Xia Feng's heart was pounding, and she was stunned for a moment.
Wenfu continued: "Xiang'er, it's getting late. You can buy some rice and vegetables from your next door neighbor to prepare dinner. A Feng is running back and forth, and Ximen's family is very tired. They must be hungry. After dinner, you go and clean up tomorrow. Set off early in the morning.”
Xiang'er was looking a little embarrassed by Xia Feng, blushing with embarrassment, she responded softly, turned around and walked out. Knowing that she had no money, Xia Feng hurriedly chased after her, gave Xiang'er a piece of silver, and then turned around and returned to the room.
Xia Feng sat by the bed, took Wen Fu's pulse, and said, "Uncle Wen, the situation is much better. Just take a good rest and I'll go talk to Senior Ximen. When Xiang'er comes back, I'll help her make dinner." "
Wenfu said: "That's fine. Xiang'er rarely goes out and has never seen much of the world. If there is any offense in your words in the future, don't mind."
Xia Feng said: "Uncle Wen, you are my master's savior and my benefactor. Xiang'er is not an outsider, she is my sister. It doesn't matter what she says." Xia Feng waited for Wen Fu to lie down and went out. Room.
Xia Feng came to Ximenshan's room and told Ximenshan Wenfu and his own plans. Ximen Shan originally wanted to ask Xia Feng to protect Wu Zetian with him, but now seeing such a situation, he naturally couldn't say anything.
Ximen Shan had no choice but to tell Xia Feng that after sending the Wen family and his daughter to Fangzhou, if Xia Feng was willing, he would ask him to catch up with him. He wanted to protect someone when he went to Luoyang, and asked him for help when he thought of it. Xia Feng happened to have nothing to do, so he immediately agreed.
After Xia Feng and Ximen Shan decided to contact each other in the future, they came to the courtyard, unhooked the horse from the carriage and tied the reins to the pillar. Then he came to the kitchen and saw Xiang'er busy.
Xia Feng saw that Xiang'er's movements were crisp and agile, so he asked, "Miss Xiang'er, I see that you move quickly, do you often do these things?"
Xiang'er smiled and said: "Brother, don't call me girl or girl, just call me Xiang'er. My mother passed away when I was very young. Although my grandfather and father loved me very much and didn't let me do anything. We For such a poor fisherman, I can't treat myself as a young lady."
Xia Feng asked in surprise: "Did something happen to your parents?"
Xiang'er sighed and said: "I heard from my father that when I was just one year old, my mother went out to the riverside, and the weather happened to change suddenly, and there was a strong wind and rain. My mother accidentally fell into the river and disappeared. There is no trace, it is estimated that something unexpected happened.”
Xia Feng said apologetically: "It's my fault for reminding you of the sad past."
Xiang'er said calmly: "Brother, it doesn't have to be like this. For me, I have been used to life without a mother since I was a child. Brother, where are your parents now?"
Xia Feng was silent for a moment and said: "My matter is a long story. I will tell you slowly in the future. I will help you!"
Xiang'er said quickly: "Brother, I'm just asking casually, don't pay attention. By the way, you know how to fight, can you teach me?"
Xia Feng smiled while helping Xiang'er: "That's not called fighting, that's called martial arts. Learning martial arts is very hard, and it can't be learned in a few days. Why do you want to learn it?"
Xiang'er said quietly: "If I learn martial arts, I won't be afraid of bad people bullying us, and I can avenge my grandfather."
Xia Feng immediately said: "Don't worry, I will protect you from now on, and no one will bully you."
Xiang'er sighed and said, "But after all, you have your own things to do, and you can't stay by our side every day."
Xia Feng hesitated for a while and said: "That's true. Let's do it this way. After I've cured my uncle's injury and settled you down, I'll teach you martial arts."
Xiang'er was overjoyed and said: "Then it's settled, you can't lie to me."
Xia Feng replied seriously: "Of course not, I'm just afraid that you won't be able to endure the hardship and don't want to learn anymore, so you can't blame me."
After the two talked for a while, they suddenly became very close. Soon, Xiang'er prepared the meal. After everyone finished eating, the Ximen family went to their room to rest. Xia Feng helped Xiang'er tidy up and then went to rest. We had to go on the road early the next morning, so everyone naturally had to take an early rest.
Early the next morning, Xia Feng asked the Wen family and his daughter to get into the carriage and drove the carriage away from the fishing village and headed east. Baihe Village, where the Wen family lives, is in the north of Nanyang City, and one must pass through Nanyang City when going south. Xia Feng was worried about encountering people from the bank, so he had already decided to bypass Nanyang and go south.
Ximenshan gave Xiang'er some money as a living expense for them to stay for a day and a night. Wenfu believed that Ximenshan had saved his life, so he naturally refused to accept it, but he couldn't defeat Ximenshan, so he had to let Xianger accept the money.
Ximenshan was worried about an accident and insisted on sending them on their way. Wenfu didn't want to trouble Ximenshan, for fear of delaying Ximenshan's own affairs. Xiang'er was not polite and quickly thanked Ximen Mountain with Xia Feng.
The carriage moved slowly in the morning light, and Xia Feng did not dare to let the carriage go too fast, lest Wen Fu aggravate his injuries. After walking for more than an hour, the sound of rapid horse hooves came from behind the car. Xia Feng quickly stood up and looked back, only to see a group of people riding horses not far behind.
