Xia Shi’s expression froze.
Red lanterns were already lit up in front of the gate. In the night, they swayed slightly when the wind blew.
It added to her uneasiness.
When they looked into the distance, they saw that the originally quiet night sky had actually lit up like a dragon. The fire lit up everywhere, and the place instantly became noisy and lively.
“Is this Jiang Huai ‘an’s residence?” In the distance, a guard woke up in a hurry.
They were wearing the uniform of the inner city guards, so they must be Jiang Huai ‘an’s colleagues.
“I am.” Madam Xia hurriedly went out to welcome him. Did something happen to Huai ‘an?” She didn’t care what happened in the city. She was only worried about whether Jiang Huai ‘an had any reinforcements.
“Xia Furen must have heard about it these few days. Many unmarried men and women were lost in the city. When they were patrolling at night, a family lost a girl at the border between the inner and outer cities. That family pulled Huai ‘an and his brother over, saying that she was his younger sister. He told him to find her.
That’s why I’m a little tied down.”
“Huai ‘an is fine, it’s just a delay. I’m here to tell you that I’m safe.”
Xia Shi’s heart returned to its original place, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
So something had happened to Jiang huaijin?
“Have you caught the thief?” Madam Xia frowned. It wasn’t that she pitied Jiang huaijie. Jiang huaijie was a scheming girl who had deceived Lulu behind her back countless times.
“No,” the guard shook his head bitterly. He escaped. The entire city is trying to capture him.”
The guard raised his arm, which was still bleeding.
Madam Xia sighed, “I’m afraid the clinic won’t open for now. You should rest in the residence for a while.” Huai ‘an is often injured, and there are many medicinal herbs in the residence.”
After he finished speaking, he glanced at the token on the Guard’s body.
This person had come to the residence to fetch Huai ‘an a few times in the past, so she was familiar with him.
“Go and make a cup of hot tea for little brother and prepare some medicine to stop bleeding. The weather is so cold, why are you wearing so little?” Madam Xia muttered a few words and asked someone to bring a new set of thick clothes for the guard.
“Huai ‘an is about the same size as you, so he should be able to wear it. This is the food that was kept warm in the pot early in the morning. Have a few bites while it’s still hot.” Xia Shi was a warm -hearted person. She immediately brought out the potato, beef, and mutton claypot that had been prepared in the morning.
He even cooked two hot and sour side dishes to go with the rice.
Everyone left the room. The man sat in the middle of the room, holding two silver daggers in his hands.
His expression was indescribable.
When he didn’t speak, he seemed to be a little cold.
The wound on his arm had already been shakily bandaged by the servant girls. Although the Jiang family was simple and crude, there was warmth everywhere.
“Hiss …” The man’s ears were slightly red, and his eyebrows suddenly raised. He sat up straight and unconsciously held the blood-stained saber by his side.
He looked up.
His gaze shifted down slightly.
A barefooted, dazed-looking girl dressed in white with two pigtails on her head was standing in front of the hall.
Her eyes fell on his face and she stared at him.
Just when the man thought that she had noticed something, the little girl suddenly puffed up like a frog.
“I knew it, I knew it! I knew it was you!” The little girl stared at him fiercely.
The man’s lips were tightly pursed, and he raised his hand to grab the hilt of his long saber.
His slightly lowered eyes faintly revealed a bit of bloodthirsty killing intent..
