As soon as I was reborn, my fiancé came to propose marriage!

Tie's father clenched his fists unwillingly, knowing that everything his son said made sense, he finally agreed.

There was a creaking sound of a door being pushed open outside the house. Chen Qiqi, regardless of the pain in his broken leg, shrank back against the wall in fear.

She hugged the quilt to cover herself, and shivered in it.

After waiting for a long time, I heard the man's footsteps getting closer and closer.

At the window...

Slowly I came to the table again...

She clutched the corner of the quilt in fear, but the voice never came forward again.

Even the sound of a pin drop could be heard in the room, and Chen Qiqi didn't dare to lift the quilt.

After a long time, she heard the door close and then showed her head.

While she was scared, she was also glad that Tiefu didn't torture her today!

She glanced at the bowl of hot porridge on the table and her tears couldn't stop flowing.

She really wanted to go home and return to the carefree life she had as a girl.

If she could do it again, she would definitely not be so ungrateful and have such bad thoughts.

If only I could do it again...

Chen Qiqi reached out carefully, took the bowl of porridge on the table, and drank it while tears as big as beans dripped into the bowl.

Soon, the bowl of tasteless porridge began to taste salty and fishy, ​​and finally became bitter, just like Chen Qiqi's mood at the moment.

.........

At night, a dilapidated horse-drawn carriage was driving on the village road.

Except for the unconscious woman in the carriage, everyone else was holding weapons and on high alert, fearing that a few vagrants would suddenly jump out from the roadside and steal things.

The carriage suddenly stopped. Lin Ye's heart tensed and he had to exert force with his arms holding the reins.

"Why did you stop?"

A bony hand lifted the car curtain and leaned out to ask.

"Master, there is a torch ahead."

Hearing this, several people in the car drew their swords at the same time.

"Still going forward?"

Lin Ye continued to ask.

Gao Yingming glanced at his sister who was unconscious and had a high fever, gritted his teeth and said, "Go forward, and if anyone dares to come forward, I will kill them with a sword!"

"Yes!"

Lin Ye received the order outside and whipped the carriage, and the carriage continued to move forward.

At the same time, in Yulin Village.

The patrol team also heard the sound of axles in the distance, and everyone became alert, holding their weapons tightly.

Some people were holding bows and arrows. Chen Ping was holding a bow and arrow. These were prepared in advance before going up the mountain to hunt.

Some people also brought hoes and rakes.

Everyone was originally patrolling around the village entrance separately, but now as soon as they heard the sound, they immediately gathered together and stood guard at the village entrance.

Afraid someone would break in.

When the two groups met, Lin Ye couldn't help but slow down his driving, and his free hand subconsciously touched the dagger at his waist.

Gao Yingming looked out of the car window and saw the entrance to a village in front of him. There was a row of people standing at the entrance, and they seemed to be villagers.

The weapons in their hands were of different sizes and not uniform, but their faces were serious, as if they were ready to rush up and fight the outsiders to the death in the next second.

Seeing that the villagers had no intention of intercepting them, Lin Ye was about to drive the carriage forward, but was stopped by Gao Yingming.

"Master?"

He looked back in confusion. This was a good thing. Why didn’t the young master leave?

Gao Yingming jumped out of the carriage and walked towards the village entrance alone. Lin Ye's heart was in his throat.

The group of people at the entrance of the village seemed to be at least ten in number, but including the young lady, there were only five of them. How could they be defeated?

What if the young master goes there rashly and angers others?

Lin Ye's forehead was covered with cold sweat. He was thinking that if the people from the village rushed out later, should he rush down immediately to fight the enemy with the young master, or stay in the car to guard the young lady?

He is the young master's bodyguard, and he is definitely concerned about the young master's safety. As for the young lady, to be honest, he doesn't like her character...

But she happens to be the young master's only relative...

Lin Ye is extremely anxious and entangled in this matter.

Gao Yingming walked forward step by step firmly. He had just thought about letting Lin Ye drive away directly.

But the villagers didn't seem to have the slightest intention of stepping forward to rob the car, and each of them exuded a sense of righteousness, and didn't look like the kind of people who would rob or rob.

So Gao Yingming ran forward with the mentality of giving it a try, mainly because his sister's illness could not wait any longer.

I'm afraid you won't be able to find a doctor within a dozen miles tonight. If there's no medicine, my sister will be burned into a fool.

He had to take a gamble!

It happened that Chen Yan was leading the patrol today. He looked at Gao Yingming who was getting closer and closer, waved his hand to signal everyone not to act rashly, and shouted loudly.

"Sir, our village doesn't welcome outsiders, please don't come any closer!"

"If I take one more step forward, I'm afraid I'll stay here forever!"

His words were full of threats, but Gao Yingming felt that the man in front of him exuded a sense of righteousness, and he inexplicably trusted that he would not hurt anyone.

"Don't worry, we mean no harm!"

He said earnestly, "My name is Gao Yingming, and I am the son of the county magistrate of Shalin County next door. Shalin County has been in complete chaos a few days ago. The yamen runners have either run away or died..."

"My father was devoted to the people and had been organizing disaster relief, but unfortunately he was murdered by a villain."

"We were forced to flee because of helplessness. It's not that I meant to disturb you, but my sister is running a high fever and her life is in danger. Is there a doctor in your village?"

"We just want a dose of medicine, which we can exchange for food!"

Gao Yingming spoke very quickly, fearing that the people of Yulin Village would disagree.

This request sounded like it would get a negative answer no matter what, but Chen Yan did not refuse immediately.

"Son of the magistrate of Shalin County", these words really carry weight in Changnan County!

Others may not know it, but Chen Yan was deeply impressed.

Ten years ago, Changnan County suffered a historic flood. The county magistrate at the time was helpless and had to seek help from surrounding counties.

Others were afraid of messing up, so they didn't dare to lend a helping hand or send anyone to help. Only Gao Ruzheng, the county magistrate of the neighboring Shalin County, was a good official who was dedicated to the people.

Although he was unable to find time to come, he still sent the county magistrate of Shalin County to provide disaster relief.

Because Shalin County is very experienced in flood control, with their help, the flood in Changnan County was brought under control and post-disaster construction was carried out in an orderly manner.

If you ask the village chief about this matter, he will definitely know about it, so Chen Yan hesitated.

Gao Ru is a good official and a true parent to the people. Now his son asks for help, although everyone unanimously agrees that no outsiders are allowed to enter.

But this is a sudden exception!
