My son sleeps lightly

After the snow stopped for a day, Xiao Chong took Ye Lan's hand and walked to the street.

Ye Lan's spirit was still a little weak, she leaned her head on Xiao Chong's shoulder, and pressed all the strength of her body on Xiao Chong as if in revenge.

Xiao Chong didn't complain, and was even a little happy, wrapping his arms around Ye Lan's waist.

They don't care about other people's eyes, and they are so intimate that they are aboveboard.

After not wandering around in Luobei City for two years, Xiao Chong found that more than half of the shops had changed, and he felt a little emotional, "I always feel that Luobei City has been depressed a lot in the past two years."

Ye Lan raised her eyes and scanned the surrounding area, "The end of the crossbow."

"Ok?"

"Wars have been going on everywhere in the past two years. Except for the nobles, men from ordinary families have been caught and forced to serve in the army. Look, there are only old, weak, women and children left on the street. How can you be a little angry?"

Hearing this, Xiao Chong was also a little disappointed. Looking sideways at Ye Lan's kung fu, he heard a commotion ahead, and subconsciously protected Ye Lan.

Ye Lan knew what happened, and patted Xiao Chong on the shoulder, "Whatever you say."

Xiao Chong looked along the source of the commotion, and saw a group of vicious officers and soldiers surrounding a circle of people.

The one in the lead was holding a rope in his hand, and the men who followed were walking with their hands tied and their heads downcast.

The reason for the commotion was that a woman with disheveled hair was holding onto one of the men, "Officer, please, my man really can't go!"

Her limbs were slender, but her belly was high and swollen. Because she kept spinning in one place, the snow and mud under her feet melted into a dirty ball, making her clothes dirty.

Her man also knelt on the ground and kept begging, his head was bleeding.

"Either, you have paid enough for the exemption, or you can leave with us." The man who escorted them yawned greatly, "We are not unreasonable people."

This scene made Xiao Chong feel a little familiar.

It seemed to be the same when he was sold into slavery.

Ye Lan silently grasped Xiao Chong's hand, held back her anger, gritted her teeth and said, "This kind of thing happens every day, every day in the city..."

But I can't do anything.

Ye Lan swallowed the second half of her sentence and said nothing more.

Xiao Chong held Ye Lan back, "It will definitely end, these days."

Ye Lan looked at Xiao Chong's resolute side face, and for some reason firmly believed that Xiao Chong could change everything.

Those pains that he can't empathize with, Xiao Chong can.

When he came back to his senses, the team that caught the strong man had already left, and only the hairy woman was left crying in a low voice sitting in the slush.

Xiao Chong and Ye Lan stepped forward, Ye Lan stuffed a silver ingot in her hand, and said apologetically, "I can only do this for you."

The woman looked up, with despair in her eyes, speechless.

Xiao Chong couldn't bear Ye Lan to look at him again, so he pulled him forward quickly, but his mood along the way had been ruined long ago, both of them felt a little heavy, so they just found a teahouse to rest for a while.

"Has it been like this for the past two years?" Xiao Chong poured tea for Ye Lan.

Ye Lan was a little uncomfortable sitting, so she changed two positions before letting go, and put one hand on the table, "Well, at the beginning, He Ying followed his brother's advice, and all those who were called to the battlefield wanted to be free citizens. However, as the war became more and more fierce, He Ying's ambitions became bigger and bigger, and the slaves were no longer enough for him, so..."

Ye Lan felt a bit speechless, took a sip of tea, and continued, "Those who went out to fight have never seen them come back alive. Many of them died and their families didn't know where they died, so there is only one result when they are arrested and sent to the battlefield."

"I understand." Xiao Chong looked at Ye Lan and gently held his hand.

What kind of mood is Ye Lan waiting for herself?

Xiao Chong dared not think about it.

Ye Lan shook Xiao Chong's hand, "What are you going to do next, come home with me?"

Xiao Chong looked at Ye Lan hesitantly.

Ye Lan understood early on, "It's fine if you don't go back. I know, with your current status, you can't go back at all. In fact, Ye Mansion is full of He Ying's eyeliner, and some of them can't even be distinguished by me. Our family People's actions have long been under his surveillance, if you enter the mansion, it may be more troublesome then."

"I have to take the entire Ye family out of Luobei City first."

"But that can't be done." Ye Lan lowered her eyes, looking a little disappointed, "I and Liang Qiu also thought about it, but even I, in the eyes of He Ying, can't get out of this city even if I'm a dude."

"Except for my cousin, everyone in this family is extremely scheming."

"Even if this is the case," Xiao Chong said seriously, "I can always find a way, but we have to plan carefully."

Ye Lan was silent for a while, raised her eyes, and smiled at Xiao Chong, "I believe in you."

……

As soon as Ye Lan wandered into the mansion, Tao Hua rushed up and grabbed Ye Lan's arm, "Hey!"

Ye Lan was startled, brushed her hand away, and looked vigilant, "What are you doing?"

Tao Hua narrowed her eyes, "Are you hiding something from me?"

"What am I hiding from you?" Ye Lan subconsciously quickened her pace, intending to get rid of Taohua.

But how could Peach Blossom let him escape, she caught up two steps, "I heard that someone sent you back today!"

Ye Lan's eyes widened, and she licked her lips, "That's from Liang Qiu."

"Nonsense, it's obviously Xiao Chong!"

"how do you know?"

"Because I saw it!"

Seeing that she couldn't hide it, Ye Lan sighed, "That's right, it's him."

"I'm really not mistaken. I thought that man was too tall just now." Tao Hua breathed a sigh of relief, but unexpectedly she was cheated out. She asked Ye Lan, "Didn't you say he won't come back? ?”

Ye Lan thought for a while, "He really won't be our Xiao Chong anymore."

Seeing Ye Lan's expression, Tao Hua twisted her waist hard and bumped into Ye Lan.

Ye Lan suddenly jumped up like a rabbit, "Don't be so hard, it hurts!"

As soon as he said this, both of them were startled by the words.
