After the marriage was severed, I fled with my golden finger to protect my mother

Chapter 149 2 Don’t owe each other

"Dad, don't be impatient. Let's see what they want to do first..."

Seeing Xu Qinghe's solemn expression, Yuxiu couldn't help feeling sad and a little self-blaming.

It has been several days since their family reunited. Xu Qinghe, this cheap father, is the best candidate for father in Yuxiu's heart no matter from which perspective.

Whether it was buying a house or buying land, when people knew that Yuxiu, a girl, had tens of thousands of silver notes on her, they only asked and did not have the slightest greed at all, nor did they think of taking the silver notes for safekeeping.

When faced with danger, as a father, he instinctively wanted to stand in front of his child to protect his daughter. He probably had long forgotten what Yuxiu said to him when they first met.

"Everyone in the car, get off immediately! If you come down now and kowtow to me and admit your mistakes, and return the things that don't belong to you, I may let you go..."

"Hahaha... Second brother is really loyal and does things so quickly. It's really a good thing for them..."

"You bastard! What are you still standing there for! Your master has spoken, why don't you quickly invite your master down..."

"Hahahaha...you coward..."

A group of people were shouting and clamoring, swinging the whips in the air, occasionally hitting the carriage where Yuxiu and the others were. If the horse driving the carriage had not been Hongyun, who had drunk a lot of spiritual spring water, an ordinary horse would have been scared and dragged the carriage around and bumped into things.

Xu Qinghe was so angry that his face turned blue. On the way to Beijing, the old butler Wang Shu had told him that he would meet dignitaries everywhere in the capital and it was best not to argue with them. As a country boy from another place, it would be better for him to avoid them, lest he bring disaster upon himself if he was not careful.

When he heard Uncle Wang say this before, he nodded in agreement. He was originally a countryman who had never seen the world, and he had a deep fear of those people from powerful families.

Not to mention the nobles in the capital, even when he was still in Xujia Village, whenever he met the village chiefs and neighborhood heads from his hometown, he would smile more and try not to offend others in his words and deeds.

But only then did he realize that some things could not be solved by just avoiding or giving in. From what these people said, if he wanted to settle the matter peacefully, he would not only have to kowtow and apologize, but also give up the house and land that their family had bought with all their fortune. Isn't this simply too much?

Xu Qinghe thought that he could not bear this, but at this time he was still some distance away from the city gate. Even if something happened, no one would look here.

He thought of telling Zhang Dazhui to ignore these people and drive out directly. As long as they reached the city gate, these people should not dare to do anything in front of the officers and soldiers.

"Both of you sit tight... Dazhu..."

Just as Xu Qinghe gritted his teeth and shouted, he heard a crisp sound of breaking through the air outside, and with a "puff" sound, the young man who had been shouting the loudest just now let out a miserable cry.

"what!"

When the scream rang out, Yuxiu pulled open the curtain of the carriage, just in time to see the fair-skinned young man falling headfirst from the horse's back. A long feather arrow was stuck in his vest, and the feathers on the tail of the arrow were still trembling.

"Second brother!"

"Who is so bold!"

"Stop shouting, let's run..."

Seeing the young man fall down and then stop making any movement, the others immediately panicked. Some quickly jumped off their horses to help the young man, some pulled the reins and looked around vigilantly, and some reacted quickly. They shouted loudly and rode towards the city gate without caring about what others did.

When the remaining few people saw this, they immediately understood what was going on. They climbed onto their horses and started running together.

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

Immediately afterwards, there was another sound of breaking air. The people in front had no place to hide and fell off their horses one after another. They fell to the ground without any reaction.

Zhang Dazhui, who was driving, did not dare to move when he saw this, for fear that the arrow flew out from somewhere and hit him like that. He would then have no way to complain.

Several people in the carriage saw what just happened. Qingdai's face turned pale and she covered her mouth tightly, not daring to let herself shout out.

"Don't be afraid. We have no grudges against them. They won't do anything to us..."

Xu Qinghe's face also turned pale. He glanced at Yuxiu and Qingdai, and was about to stick his head out to take a look.

"Dad, someone is coming."

Yuxiu could hear the sound of horses running, so she pulled her father to stop him.

Maybe those people came here to look for these young men, and now that they have killed them, it should have nothing to do with me.

Sure enough, soon a dozen fat and strong horses ran by. The men on the horses were all wearing dark blue short suits, looking very neat and tidy.

When they walked past the carriage, they did not hesitate at all and rushed directly to the bodies of those people, dragged them onto their horses, then returned to the direction they had just come from and ran away quickly.

"Are you all right?"

Just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, a young man's clear voice was heard from outside, and it seemed to carry a hint of smile.

Yuxiu's heart was moved. This voice...

"It's you!"

She got out of the car immediately, and sure enough, she saw that the person in front of her looked familiar. It was the young man she rescued from the mountain and brought back to the cave that day.

At this time, the young man was wearing brocade clothes and a jade crown on his head. His jade-like face had delicate features, and there was no trace of his previous sickly and miserable appearance.

"Thank you for your help that day, young lady. I happened to meet you today, so I helped you solve this problem."

There was a hint of smile in the boy's eyes. As soon as he said this, his expression froze slightly. Before he could say anything else, Yuxiu quickly took over the conversation.

"That's fine, thank you for your help today, we will not owe each other anything from now on, and when we meet again, we will just pretend we have never met."

The smile on the young man's face disappeared in an instant. When he raised his eyes to take a good look at the girl who had changed a lot, Yuxiu had already climbed onto the carriage quickly and shouted to Zhang Dazhui. The carriage then slowly started moving again, and then faster and faster. It soon arrived at the city gate and entered the city without hesitation.

"I...I really didn't mean that..."

The young man's face darkened and he muttered something, but no one heard him. After a long while, a young man taller than him came over on a horse and looked at him speechlessly.
