After giving orders to Muzhu and Mucha, Xiao Yizhuo turned around and went back to the inn. When he returned to the room, Wen Shutang was already asleep.

Xiao Yizhuo lay down beside Wen Shutang quietly and slowly closed his eyes, but he was thinking about Fang Wenhe's whereabouts.

He didn't fall asleep the whole afternoon. When Wen Shutang woke up, he saw Xiao Yizhuo sitting at the table with a frown on his face, as if he was thinking about something.

Wen Shutang yawned and sat up to look at him: "Didn't you take a break?"

Seeing that Wen Shutang had woken up, Xiao Yizhuo poured her a glass of water and handed it to her: "Well, you're not asleep."

"What's wrong? Did Mu Zhu say some bad news?" Wen Shutang took the water cup and took a sip.

Hearing Xiao Yizhuo's words, Wen Shutang's heart skipped a beat, and he could only guess about Qingshui Town. Suddenly, the sleepiness he had just felt disappeared, replaced by doubts.

Xiao Yizhuo pursed his lips, and after a moment he responded: "Fang Wenhe, it is very likely that he went to Qingshui Town in person."

Hearing this, Wen Shutang was stunned. Fang Wenhe went to Qingshui Town in person?

"How could a young master like him come to such a remote place?" Wen Shutang was a little bit unconvinced.

"Fang Wenhe has been an impatient person since he was young. As long as it's something he cares about, he will come over no matter how far away it is." Xiao Yizhuo explained.

Wen Shutang smacked his lips and thought to himself, it's a good thing they left Qingshui Town before the people from the capital went there. If Fang Wenhe really went to Qingshui Town in person, he might not be able to recognize Xiao Yizhuo when he saw him.

"Fortunately we left early. If we had really run into them, there would have been no fun." Wen Shutang sighed.

"Well, I forgot about Fang Wenhe's stubborn temper." Xiao Yizhuo said helplessly.

Hearing this, Wen Shutang raised his eyebrows: "Are you familiar with this Young Master Fang?"

"Well, my father and Mr. Fang were close friends. Fang Wenhe and I grew up together. Later, I learned martial arts and joined the army, but he thought being in the army was too hard, so he inherited the family business and went into business." Xiao Yizhuo nodded and explained.

"So that's how it is. Have you ever thought about telling Fang Wenhe that you are still alive?" Wen Shutang tilted his head and looked at Xiao Yizhuo.

It seems that Fang Wenhe is Xiao Yizhuo's childhood friend. Since they have such a close relationship, Fang Wenhe should be very worried about Xiao Yizhuo.

Xiao Yizhuo pursed his lips and lowered his head. After a moment, he shook his head: "He should know that I am not dead, I just hid my tracks. My identity is sensitive, so it is best not to have any involvement with the capital. For your safety and the safety of the children, it is better not to look for Fang Wenhe for now."

Hearing what he said, Wen Shutang felt a little uncomfortable. Xiao Yizhuo must have felt very uncomfortable for having lived in hiding for all these years and not being able to meet with his family and friends.

"Well, I believe that one day, you and Fang Wenhe will meet again." Wen Shutang is not very good at comforting people.

Although it was a bit awkward, Xiao Yizhuo was still comforted and he curled the corners of his lips.

"Well, we'll meet again. What I have to do now is to protect you and the children. I will never let you fall into danger." He said in a firm tone.

Before Wen Shutang could say anything, there was a knock on the door and Xiao Ye's voice was heard from outside.

"Dad, Mom, are you awake?"

Wen Shutang and Xiao Yizhuo looked at each other, then responded loudly: "Well, you're awake, come in."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Ye pushed the door and walked in, followed by Xiao Wan and Xiao Ze.

"Mom, it's not hot now, let's go out and fly kites!" Xiao Ye said excitedly.

Wen Shutang looked at the three excited children and smiled, then stood up and said, "Okay, let's go. I'll teach you how to fly a kite now."

Xiao Ye and Xiao Wan immediately laughed happily, took their kites, turned around and ran out of the room.

Although Xiao Ze's reaction was not as big as theirs, a faint smile appeared on his handsome face and he seemed to be expecting something as well.

Wen Shutang and Xiao Yizhuo followed them, left the inn, and the family found a vacant space.

Wen Shutang took the kite from Xiao Wan's hand, checked the places where the silk threads were connected, and after making sure there was no entanglement, he began to teach them how to fly a kite.

"Take the kite, grab the center bar on the frame with your hand, stand behind the kite, lift up the handle with the silk thread, and run forward quickly."

Wen Shutang demonstrated to them as he spoke. It was not hot at this time, and the light and delicate kite quickly flew up into the air with the breeze blowing.

"Once the kite is in the air, you should let go of the silk thread. This will allow the kite to fly higher. Look."

As Wen Shutang spoke, he began to quickly rotate the wooden tray in his hand. The silk thread flew out quickly, and the kite flew higher and higher along the length of the silk thread.

The brightly colored kite flying high in the sky looks like a lifelike bird.

Xiao Wan stood aside and looked up at the flying kite, his eyes full of surprise and excitement. He pointed at the kite and shouted loudly.

"It's flying! Mom, it's really flying!"

Xiao Ye was also watching this scene with great excitement. He unconsciously began to run after Wen Shutang, with an excited smile on his face.

Seeing this, Xiao Wan also caught up with Wen Shutang and stretched out his hand to ask her for the wooden support: "Mother, give it to me, I want it!"

Wen Shutang smiled and handed the wooden support to Xiao Wan, saying, "Wan'er is young and may not have much strength, so you need to use both hands to hold it. If you feel that you can't hold it, retract the silk thread, like this."

She taught Xiao Wan step by step how to retrieve the kite, and Xiao Wan listened attentively.

When Wen Shutang let go, Xiao Wan had an unsteady hold on the kite at first, and the kite in the sky shook violently several times.

Xiao Wan exerted force with both hands and quickly retracted part of the silk thread. The kite immediately became much more stable and flew steadily in the sky.

The little girl immediately shouted excitedly. She turned around and looked at Wen Shutang, and said proudly, "Mom! I learned it!"

Wen Shutang stood aside and looked at her, with gentle smiles in his eyes. He was worried that Xiao Wan could not catch her, but now it seems that she was worrying too much.

"Yeah, that's right, Wan'er did a great job."

Hearing Wen Shutang's praise, Xiao Wan was even happier. She turned her head to look at her second brother and said proudly, "Second brother, my kite has flown. Hurry up."

Xiao Ye naturally didn't want to lose to his younger sister, so he quickly began to imitate Wen Shutang's actions and prepare to fly the kite. However, after running for a long time, he was exhausted and out of breath, and the kite still hung limply on the ground, with no intention of flying at all.

He looked at Wen Shutang for help: "Mom."

Wen Shutang laughed: "Don't be anxious, Ah Ye, take your time and lift the wooden support higher."
