"Xiaozhen? Young Master Qiao? Y-You guys … "
Wang Xiumei heard the commotion and immediately rushed out. After Qin Feng and Xiaozhen were taken away, this poor old grandma cried for an entire day. She cried until she was blind.
"Wah wah! Grandma, Xiaozhen is unfilial and made Grandma worry … "Hua Xiaozhen jumped into her grandma's arms as soon as she got off the horse. The two hugged each other and cried bitterly. Neither of them thought they would meet again in this life.
Qin Feng stood to the side and felt a little emotional. He thought of the women in Hero City, his family in the Qin Manor in the provincial capital, and his father in Devil Beast Mountain. Qin Feng also wanted to go home and reunite with them, but he had just arrived in China and found the situation here complicated. He was afraid he wouldn't be able to go back for a while.
Hua Xiaozhen finally came back to her senses after crying for a while. She quickly wiped the tears from her grandmother's eyes and revealed a rare sweet smile. "Grandma, don't worry. Young Master Qiao has already destroyed the Horseman Gang. No bandits will disturb our peaceful life in the future …"
Hua Xiaozhen's voice wasn't loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone!
The villagers' expressions changed drastically. Many of them were so scared that they sat on the ground.
"Y-You crazy girl, don't talk nonsense. If you want to die, don't take us with you …" Zhou Hai's voice was trembling. He didn't believe the Horseman Gang was eliminated even if he was beaten to death.
The other villagers also came back to their senses and criticized Hua Xiaozhen for speaking nonsense.
"Witch, you're simply a witch. Hurry and get out of Hua Village. We don't welcome you here."
"These two must have escaped halfway. I'm afraid the Horseman Gang will catch up soon. Those bandits don't have good tempers. They'll definitely be angry this time …"
Everyone thought Qin Feng and Hua Xiaozhen had escaped. They became even more nervous. If the Horseman Gang came again, they wouldn't be so easy to talk to.
"Uncle Zhou, hurry and tell your son to inform them again. Otherwise, it'll be troublesome if the Horseman Gang catches up," someone suggested.
Zhou Hai shouted anxiously: "My son is knocked unconscious, how can he go … Forget it, I'll go myself. You guys look after these two scourges. Don't let them escape!"
Zhou Hai impatiently ran away. The Hua Family Village people surrounded Qin Feng and Hua Xiaozhen. It looked like they were going to defend this place to the death tonight.
Even Wang Xiumei couldn't believe that the Horseman Gang had been destroyed. This was too unbelievable. She immediately pulled Xiao Zhen's hand and came to Qin Feng's side. "Young Master Qiao, please take Xiao Zhen and run. The further, the better. It's best if you leave Distant Ice City and never come back."
Qin Feng felt a bit helpless, but he didn't explain because no one would believe him even if he did.
Hua Xiaozhen didn't believe it at first, but she saw the whole mountain of the Horseman Gang being razed to the ground with her own eyes, so she comforted Wang Xiumei, "Grandma, Young Master Qiao really destroyed the Horseman Gang. We don't have to worry about those bandits coming to make trouble anymore …"
Wang Xiumei was stunned and looked at Xiao Zhen strangely. Xiao Zhen never lied, so why did she lie today?
The surrounding villagers sneered. They didn't believe Qin Feng and Hua Xiaozhen's nonsense at all. The Horseshoe Gang had a lot of people, and they were all powerful warriors. How could they be destroyed?
Whether these people believed it or not, Qin Feng didn't care. He had already taken Hua Xiaozhen and Wang Xiumei back to the thatched hut.
The villagers didn't dare to stop the three of them, mainly because they were worried about Qin Feng's skills. This person had knocked out Village Tyrant Zhou Dafei twice. He was too powerful.
However, everyone didn't disperse. They split into two groups and guarded the front and back doors of Hua Xiaozhen's house. They were afraid that Qin Feng and Hua Xiaozhen would escape.
After entering the house, Qin Feng began to heal his injuries. Hua Xiaozhen was completely relieved, and a warm smile appeared on her face from time to time. On the other hand, Wang Xiumei was extremely anxious. She kept urging the two of them to quickly escape. This made Hua Xiaozhen feel helpless.
By the time Qin Feng and the other two had finished their dinner, Zhou Hai had finally rushed back. He looked as if he had seen a ghost, and his body was still trembling.
"Uncle Zhou is back!"
"Huh? Zhou Hai, why didn't the Horseshoe Gang people come with you? They can't be really angry, right? "
"Oh no, oh no, Hua Village is going to be unlucky. Everyone, hurry and escape through the night. The Horseshoe Gang bandits are going to start a massacre."
"It's all that b * tch from the Hua family's fault. She caused everyone to end up like this …"
Zhou Hai hadn't even said a word, and the villagers were already talking all at once.
Zhou Hai finally came to his senses, but the shock in the depths of his eyes hadn't disappeared. Even now, he couldn't understand why the Horseshoe Gang's mountain had disappeared. Over a hundred fierce and cruel bandits disappeared with it. It was as if the Horseshoe Gang had never appeared in this area.
"The Horseshoe Gang is gone …"
Zhou Hai's voice trembled slightly. The villagers who were about to return to their houses to pack their things and escape suddenly stopped and looked at Zhou Hai in confusion.
"The Horseshoe Gang is gone? What does that mean? "
"Uncle Zhou, can you explain it more clearly …"
Zhou Hai looked at the crowd in confusion and repeated, "The Horseshoe Gang is gone … There's no Horseshoe Gang nearby, and not a single bandit can be seen. Could it be that I was hallucinating?"
The crowd was stunned, and some even suspected that Zhou Hai had gone crazy.
"Dad, what nonsense are you talking about? I went to the Horseshoe Gang's mountain to inform them this morning. Did you go the wrong way?" Zhou Dafei had already woken up. He was knocked out twice by Qin Feng and was about to explode with anger.
Zhou Hai had lived in this area for more than 40 years, so how could he go the wrong way?
"It's gone, it's really gone. The Horseshoe Gang is gone. Ghost, I must have seen a ghost …"
Zhou Hai seemed to have really gone crazy. He covered his head and screamed as he ran away!
The villagers were dumbfounded. After a while, someone finally came to his senses and said, "Something's wrong. Who wants to go to the Horseshoe Gang's mountain with me?"
"Let's go, I'll go with you!"
Zhou Dafei brought a few people and rushed to the Horseshoe Gang. The rest of the villagers hadn't even eaten dinner. They were so hungry that their stomachs were growling, but no one dared to leave Hua Xiaozhen's house. Now that the situation was unclear, they had to continue watching Hua Xiaozhen and Young Master Qiao …
After eating, Qin Feng went out for a walk. He was amused by the villagers' behavior when he saw that they were still guarding outside the door.
When he came back, Hua Xiaozhen came over anxiously. "Young Master Qiao, I've found out what you wanted to know."
Qin Feng pulled Hua Xiaozhen to the woodshed and asked in a low voice, "You're talking about the Holy Gate's disciple recruitment?"
Hua Xiaozhen realized that Qin Feng didn't want others to know about this, so she said in a low voice, "Yes, Young Master Qiao. There's still some time before the Holy Gate Selection. It's tentatively set to be in half a year, but the exact time is still uncertain."
Qin Feng was a little anxious. There's still half a year? If that's the case, doesn't that mean I have to stay in this desolate place for half a year?
However, other than the Holy Gate Selection, there seemed to be no other way. At least, Qin Feng had no clue about it at the moment.
"Young Master Qiao, y-you must enter the Holy Gate?" Hua Xiaozhen felt sad when she saw Qin Feng's depressed expression.
Qin Feng didn't need to hide it from Hua Xiaozhen. He nodded and said, "I'm here to go to the Thousand Shadow Sect and the Spirit Beast Sect. No matter what, I have to go …"
Hua Xiaozhen's mood became even gloomier. She suddenly realized the huge gap between her and Young Master Qiao. If Young Master Qiao really entered the Holy Gate half a year later, she obviously wouldn't be able to enter. At that time, she would have to be separated from Young Master Qiao. However, Hua Xiaozhen couldn't wait to serve Young Master Qiao for the rest of her life.
"What's wrong, Xiaozhen?" Qin Feng felt the change in Hua Xiaozhen's emotions.
Hua Xiaozhen hurriedly squeezed out a smile, shook her head, and said, "It's nothing, Young Master Qiao. It's getting late now. Let me serve you to the main room to rest."
Hua Xiaozhen didn't say what she was thinking. She felt that she was just a lowly servant. How could she hinder Young Master Qiao's big plans because of her own selfishness?
Qin Feng didn't ask further, but he didn't plan to get up and leave.
There were only two rooms in Hua Xiaozhen's house. The main room beside it and the storeroom that Qin Feng was currently in. Only the main room had a small bed. In the past, Hua Xiaozhen and Wang Xiumei had squeezed onto the small bed and depended on each other.
How could Qin Feng sleep on the same bed as Wang Xiumei? He also couldn't sleep with Hua Xiaozhen and let Wang Xiumei sleep in this cold and damp storeroom, right?
"I'll sleep here tonight. You can sleep with your grandmother." Qin Feng took off his jacket and spread it on the damp and cold weeds.
Hua Xiaozhen was so frightened that she cried out, "Ah! Young Master Qiao, hurry and get up. How can you sleep here? Hurry and go to the main room and sleep on the wooden bed. I'll sleep here with Grandmother. "
Qin Feng knew it would be like this. The women's thoughts here were too scary. Let him sleep on the bed and let Grandmother sleep in the cold and damp storeroom? Qin Feng really couldn't do it.
"Don't say anymore. You're disturbing my rest!" Qin Feng could only put on a straight face and pretend to be angry. Hua Xiaozhen was so scared that tears fell from her eyes.
"Young Master Qiao, don't blame me. It's all this lowly servant's fault. This lowly servant deserves to be hit …"
Hua Xiaozhen raised her hand to hit herself. Qin Feng hurriedly stopped her, "Xiaozhen, in the future, without my orders, you're not allowed to hit yourself. Do you hear me?"
Hua Xiaozhen's heart was filled with warmth. She nodded and carefully looked at Qin Feng.
Qin Feng couldn't help but stroke her beautiful hair. He hugged her and lay down beside her, "Let Grandmother sleep in the main room. Tonight, you'll sleep here with me."
Hua Xiaozhen wanted to say something, but in the end, she didn't. Her eyes became moist again. She realized that Young Master Qiao was too, too good. Hua Xiaozhen thought to herself, how good would it be if I could meet Young Master Qiao when I was born and serve him from a young age …
"Young Master Qiao, get up first. I'll put on an extra layer of clothes for you!" Hua Xiaozhen came to her senses. She hurriedly took off her silk dress and laid it under Qin Feng.
The two of them wore white cotton clothes underneath. These things were probably the underwear that people here wore.
The room was cold and damp. Hua Xiaozhen's thin body shivered from the cold, but she pretended to be fine. She didn't sleep on the clothes and ran to the side to lie down on the weeds.
