Chapter 193 You Can't Do Anything
After they delivered the items, Feng Qian said they were going to go back the way they came, but she insisted on taking a different route because she was playful, and unfortunately, some accidents happened.
"It'll be alright once we get out of here. We've been so late, our parents will definitely send someone to look for us," she comforted him.
She crawled out and looked at the gray sky, hoping only to bring her sister back safely.
Inside the Snowfall Villa, Jiang Wan was so anxious that she kept crying and wished she could grow wings and fly away.
Xia Tingfeng, standing to the side, tossed his sword aside and helplessly comforted her, "Don't cry, Madam. We've already sent people out to search; we'll surely have news soon."
What he feared most was his delicate wife shedding tears. What could he do if he couldn't yell at her or be harsh with her?
"It's all your fault! If anything happens to Shushu and Shengsheng, I'll burn your entire estate down!"
Poor thing, her two daughters!
Her poor eldest daughter suffered from a cough since childhood and was blind, and had been confined to the village and unable to go out.
The poor child has grown up so much and still doesn't know what the outside of the village looks like. What a pitiful little thing.
Shushu, that little devil, probably felt sorry for her older sister, so she secretly took her out.
Xia Tingfeng was filled with regret. He should have been more careful when his younger daughter cautiously asked if he could take his older daughter along.
The child begged him for so long! How could he not have noticed something was wrong? Even the slightest hint would have been helpful!
Oh well! It's too late to say anything now!
The couple sent out wave after wave of people, and finally someone returned with a message around noon.
"Master! We have news about the young lady and the others!"
The visitor, without even taking a breath, recounted every word of the information he had gathered.
Upon hearing the words "bandits," Jiang Wan's vision went black; upon hearing the words "illness flare-up," her vision went black again.
She nearly collapsed, but Xia Tingfeng quickly caught her. "I've already sent people out, Wanwan, don't scare your husband!"
Jiang Wan wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, nodded, and pleaded, "Husband, please go find my father quickly, and ask him to send people to look for Shushu and Shengsheng as well."
There's no definite news yet, otherwise she would have rushed out of the village to find their child long ago.
The two little girls must have been terrified; they must have been scared to death without their parents by their side.
After comforting Jiang Wan, Xia Tingfeng went to find his father-in-law. He felt very guilty along the way, realizing that he had been too eager for his youngest daughter to grow up.
That girl has a childlike nature; I originally just wanted to train her, but I never expected such a big mistake to happen.
And what about my eldest daughter? I wonder how she is now? Did she bring enough pills with her when she went out?
The group that was following them was now almost catching up with Helian Yue's carriage.
As the road ahead became increasingly difficult, the horses slowed down, which actually helped them.
"Brother, they're running so fast! Won't the two older sisters in the car get seasick from all the shaking?"
Helian Zhiyan wrinkled her nose slightly. The road was too steep, and her food was jostled out, so she felt uncomfortable.
Brother Yunqi also told her that her older sister was sick, which made her even more upset.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yunqi lifted the carriage curtain and glanced outside, thinking to himself that these people were truly impressive, managing to keep up with their carriage.
Thinking of that thin, delicate face, he inexplicably slipped out and whispered to Helian Yue, "Why don't we stop and rest? Xiao Yan said she's not feeling well."
Helian Yue glanced at him indifferently, and he hurriedly added, "We're parting ways tonight, and I'm reluctant to leave this little girl. I want to spend more time with her."
“Brother, he’s lying!” Helian Zhiyan retorted in a childish voice behind him.
The man was so happy when he heard that they would be going their separate ways that night that he could grin from ear to ear, because once they were separated, he could take out the snacks he had stolen and eat them to his heart's content without restraint!
Gu Yunqi's face darkened slightly, then he nuzzled Helian Yue's arm in a fawning manner, "Take a rest, you look exhausted."
Helian Yue dodged away in disgust, and fearing that he would get close again, he quickly stopped the carriage in a relatively open area.
But it wasn't because of him, because it was lunchtime and he needed to cook some rice porridge for his sister to soothe her stomach.
As he set up the pot and started the fire, Gu Yunqi leaned over and looked at him suspiciously, "Ah... Brother, you can cook?"
He was a little afraid that the little guy might die before they even reached Shanquan Village after eating the food.
Helian Zhiyan ran over and gently pushed him away, looking disgusted. "My brother is the best; he can do everything. Brother Wang Liu eats everything and can't do anything right."
Gu Yunqi was so angry that he kept snorting, and simply sat on the carriage shaft and chewed on his little meat jerky.
Helian Zhiyan watched with bright eyes as Helian Yue washed the rice and put it into the pot. His movements were so elegant that she couldn't help but like it.
"Men who can cook are the most handsome," she suddenly remembered what Wen Luozhi had told her. She tilted her head back, grinned, and said sweetly, "Brother is so handsome. If you can cook, Sister Luozhi will like you even more."
Helian Yue paused, and then proceeded with extreme caution.
He kept his eyes glued to the pot of porridge, afraid it would spoil.
Once the rice porridge was cooked, he listened to Helian Zhiyan add some chopped dried meat and cook it into a small pot of minced meat porridge.
The aroma wafted out, and the few people resting nearby couldn't help but lick their lips.
Looking at the unidentified steamed bun in my hand, I instantly lost the desire to continue eating.
Xia Yunshu numb herself with the aroma of the porridge, closed her eyes, and ate half of the steamed bun in her hand.
Unable to bear it any longer, she simply lifted the curtain and went inside to sit with Xia Yunsheng.
Seeing that Xia Yunsheng's steamed bun was untouched, she pursed her lips and slipped out again, but instead of resting at her own place, she went straight to Helian Yue and the other two.
Gu Yunqi was happily ladling out his porridge and drinking it; he had already slurped down a whole bowl.
Hehe, I didn't expect A-Yue to have this skill! He must have learned it from following Luo Zhi around, right?
Tsk tsk! He was drinking so much that he was shaking his head and smacking his lips every now and then.
"Young masters, could you sell me a bowl of your porridge? My sister..."
Xia Yunshu spoke with some embarrassment. She had asked for medicine and then followed along on her journey, and now she wanted to eat as well. Even if she had a thick skin, she felt a little embarrassed.
My sister hasn't eaten much since yesterday, and this can't go on.
Helian Yue wiped Helian Zhiyan's mouth and bluntly refused to sell.
He hasn't even eaten the food he made yet, how can he give it to other women first? Even if Luo'er has already eaten what he made, he won't give it to other women.
Of course, his younger sister is an exception, which Gu Yunqi disregards.
Gu Yunqi glanced at the porridge in his bowl, then at the porridge in the pot, intending to give it to her. Helian Zhiyan spoke up clearly to Xia Yunshu, "Sister, the porridge my brother made isn't very good, so I can't give it to you. I'm afraid that older sister will get a stomachache."
"My sixth brother Wang knows how; go find him!"
A sly glint flashed across her face as she pointed her little finger at Gu Yunqi to the side.
