Reborn as the Savior of a Short-lived Father and Son

When Luo Feng drank a few cups of tea and ran out to use the restroom, Lu Zhiyao pulled Gu Qinghe aside and said, "Is this Shao Wei's son? Why does his tone and expression when he speaks look nothing like him?"

Gu Qinghe was dragged to sit aside by her, and took a sip of tea with a smile, "Don't they look alike at all?"

"Not at all."

Of course, Lu Zhiyao had just met Luo Feng and didn’t know him well. She just thought Shao Wei was a steady man, while Luo Feng looked a bit like Gu Qinghe when she was a child.

Thinking of this, she smiled and said, "I see this child is very attached to you."

Gu Qinghe nodded and briefly told Lu Zhiyao about Luo Feng's life experience.

In Lu Zhiyao's heart, Gu Qinghe is worthy of all the men in the world. At first, she was quite satisfied with Shao Wei. She listened to a few words when people here talked about Shao Wei and had a good impression of him.

But she only found out that he had a child after Uncle Fu came. Lu Zhiyao was a domineering person. When she was with Chen Fanzhi, she told him that husband and wife should be loyal to each other and she would not share her husband with any other woman.

It's not because her thoughts are unique, but simply because she knows her own character and understands that she is very jealous. If her husband is in love with another woman, she is afraid that she can just use a handful of medicine powder to send both of them to heaven.

So when she knew Shao Wei had a child, she was not very supportive, but Uncle Fu told her about what happened between the two of them. She also learned that Shao Wei helped Gu Qinghe a lot after she went to the capital from Liangtuo. In addition, Uncle Fu could see that Gu Qinghe really liked Shao Wei.

So she convinced herself that as long as Gu Qinghe liked it, it would be fine.

Seeing the relationship between this child and Gu Qinghe today, and seeing that the two of them get along well, I felt relieved, and the slight grudge in my heart was completely dissipated.

So after hearing Gu Qinghe talk about Luo Feng's life experience, all he felt was heartache.

"What a poor child. I worry too much."

Gu Qinghe understood that she had no ill intentions. She had a good relationship with her father and would not tolerate any infidelity between the two of them. So he also hoped that Gu Qinghe's emotional journey would be smooth and without obstacles.

Without saying a few words, Luo Feng ran out with his short legs, leaning in Gu Qinghe's arms and stealing a glance at Lu Zhiyao from time to time.

Gu Qinghe squeezed his hand and asked, "What task did your father give you today?"

Luo Feng's eyes lit up, and he looked up at the two of them, "Dad told me to accompany Sister Gu and Auntie to go shopping in the street, buy some clothes, and buy some books to read at home."

During the past six months, Luo Feng has grown taller and can recognize many more words. Although there are still some words he cannot recognize, he can still read books by himself.

Rather than asking him to buy books to read, it would be more accurate to say that Shao Wei hopes that he can stay here honestly and not run around.

The war is about to start, and the people of Lirang are very despicable. If someone sneaks into Chizhou and sets his sights on Luo Feng, things will become extremely difficult.

Gu Qinghe nodded, "Mom probably hasn't been out much recently. It's been a long time since we've been out together. I have nothing to do today, so I'd like to go out for a walk and get some fresh air."

Lu Zhiyao didn't refuse.

After packing up, the three of them went out.

The people arranged by Shao Wei were guarding in the dark to protect their safety.

When he got to the street, Gu Qinghe was a little surprised when he saw the noisy street.

Unlike several other cities they passed on the way, the people of Chizhou were relatively calm. There were still many vendors setting up stalls on the streets, and everyone was doing their job. They did not seem to be affected by the war.

She quickly realized that perhaps it was not that she was not affected by the war, but that she had become accustomed to it.

Living here, it is not the first time for them to fight a war.

Escaping, surviving, and staying alive are all things they have experienced many times before.

Of course, this also includes trust in Shao Wei.

Luo Feng wanted to eat sesame cakes, so Gu Qinghe took him to buy some. The vendor selling sesame cakes was quite old. When he heard that their voices were not from the local area, he was a little surprised and a little wary. "It's almost a war, why don't you go home?"

Gu Qinghe smiled and said, "I'm here to visit my relatives."

The old man's expression eased. He took a look at Luo Feng and saw that he was indeed from their Rui Dynasty. His accent didn't sound like Li Rang's. He felt relieved and his tone softened. "Not many people bring their children to visit relatives at this time. You are really brave. The war started as soon as it was said. You better hurry back."

Gu Qinghe nodded, "Aren't you worried?"

"What is there to worry about? Our ancestors have lived here for generations. During the previous war, we fled with our families for half our lives. Now that we have finally settled down, we will never run away again."

"Besides," he grinned, revealing his few remaining teeth, and smiled kindly, "General Shao is a capable man. If he can drive these Lirang people away once, he can drive them away a second time. There's nothing to be afraid of."

The vendor nearby nodded after hearing this and said, "His grandson is in the military camp, and my son has also joined the army. Why should we run away? We believe in General Shao. If it really comes to that, we can take up knives and fight those bastards to the death, and we will be heroes for once."

The vendors started chatting and laughing. Gu Qinghe tightened Luo Feng's clothes and helped Lu Zhiyao to straighten her cloak.

Luo Feng's face was a little red from the wind, and he couldn't wait to look at her before he finished chewing the sesame cake in his mouth, "Daddy is the most powerful, he will definitely be able to drive away those bad guys."

Gu Qinghe touched his head, smiled and nodded, "You are right."

Most of the older people chose to stay in Chizhou. As for some of the younger ones, their families were worried about them, so they urged them to hide somewhere else first and come back after the war was over. After all, they had to leave someone behind at home.

The sunny day when I went out suddenly turned gloomy for some reason, and raindrops as big as beans began to fall down in an instant.

The three of them were soaked through before they could react. It was very cold after being caught in the rain, so they quickly found a roof to hide under.

Fortunately, I hid in time and didn’t get soaked thoroughly.

There happened to be a clothing store behind. Gu Qinghe asked the shopkeeper for two handkerchiefs, helped Luo Feng wipe the rain off, and picked out two sets of clothes for Lu Zhiyao.

It was a coincidence that this shop happened to be the one that she had visited with Ouyang Xia before. Lu Zhiyao saw the red dress hanging next to it and asked Gu Qinghe, "Why didn't Miss Ouyang come back with you last time?"

"She went to help Lan Yu find someone. Lan Yu travels slowly, so the two of them hurried along the way and wandered around looking for someone. By the time they get to Chizhou, they will probably have to wait until next year."

Ouyang Xia also had some impression of Lan Yu. She smiled when she heard what he said. Just as she was about to say something, her attention was suddenly attracted by the jade hairpin in front of her and she froze in place.
