"Only faith, the sun, and the moon are eternal," the woman mumbled softly.
"Is there a hidden meaning behind this?" An 'an asked.
The woman suddenly said to An 'an and Chen Cheng solemnly, "Remember, from today onwards, don't provoke him anymore. Even though I don't know who he is, I suddenly feel that you were able to escape unscathed that night because he heard this and decided to let you go. "
"Why did he let me go?" An 'an was puzzled. "I escaped on my own!"
"Silly child," the woman said helplessly. "Look at that guy wearing White Mask. Even the arrows shattered when they hit him. Can't you tell that there's something wrong with him?"
"Oh," An 'an said softly. "But that's because White Mask is powerful, not this brat."
"Perhaps he wants to pass information related to him to us and your father through you," the woman said. "I've really heard your father and your grandfather mention the name Ren He before. Perhaps your father will understand everything after I tell him. Don't provoke him, alright? He might even be a rather important person. Let's wait until we arrive at Ghent City safely. "
An 'an mumbled softly, "He looks so young. How important can he be?"
"That saying has been passed down in our organization for a very, very long time," the woman explained. "I don't know where it came from, but I always hear people mentioning it. Could it be that … he really has some connection with us?"
"Didn't father mention where this saying came from?" An 'an asked curiously.
"I did ask your grandfather when I was young, and he always said the same thing," the woman said in deep thought. "But his answer back then was that it's best for the girls in the family not to know about these things."
"Why? Does grandpa value boys over girls?" An 'an pouted.
"That's not it." The woman smiled and helped An 'an tidy up her hair. "He said that girls shouldn't know about such dangerous things. The Wizard Organization has a huge grudge against us, and we haven't accumulated enough power to go against them yet. So, it's not time to tell us many things yet."
"I know there's a grudge. Why don't I go and kill Meg?" An An said, "The Chamber of Commerce provides them with food every day. Maybe Ren Xiaosu is not easy to deal with, but we can poison him from the Chamber of Commerce and kill him secretly."
An An's full name was Chen Shenan. They had been educated since they were young to be wary of all wizards, and they had to learn to doubt every word that a wizard said. That was because every word that came out of these dirty wizards' mouths contained lies.
The woman shook her head. "There's still a difference between wizards like Mego. The so-called God's Child is just a pitiful person under the control of the wizard organization. From my point of view, as long as they don't do evil, they're actually no different from ordinary people. Also, it was wrong of you to set the fire that day to attract attention. You have to pay more attention in the future. "
'But I have to run for my life, and the people in Yorkshire who keep horses must be very rich. None of those rich people are good, 'said Ann indignantly.
The woman suddenly sat up straight. "An 'an, you can't look at the world like this. The world is not black or white. Are poor people necessarily good people? Must the rich be bad? It would be great if the world was so simple. You have to understand that we only do meaningful things and not do things according to our own preferences. "
The woman continued, "You and Little Cheng are still young, so it's normal for you to be extreme and rebellious. But you have to understand that you can only become someone like your father when you're able to judge everyone with a fair attitude."
An 'an lowered her head. "Oh, I understand, aunt. What should we do? The stable has been burned down."
"Before I left Yorkshire, I put ten gold coins under their pillow. I believe they've already found out." The woman saw that An 'an had listened to her and sighed in relief. "But compensation is compensation. If the owner of that family has feelings for horses, you still can't repay them. Feelings are priceless."
At this moment, An 'an was curious. "What if I have to hurt others to save my life while I'm running for my life? What should I do? "
The woman thought for a moment and said, "In that case, it's better to hurt others than to hurt yourself."
The little witch An 'an was stunned for a moment. "Aunt, why is this different from what you said just now?"
The woman said helplessly, "This is the complexity of this world."
"Oh," Chen Cheng suddenly said, "That young man called Ren Xiaosu was very casual with Mego. Just now, when Mego wanted to say that he was going to Ghent, he even stepped on the sole of his foot."
"Yes." The woman nodded. "It's good enough that we know his identity is not ordinary. We'll keep it a secret for now. We'll talk about it when we get to Ghent. We'll tell your father everything then, and he'll naturally have an answer."
"It's still a long time before we get to Ghent," Chen Cheng said. "Why don't I go check it out again?"
"You better not go to Ren Xiaosu," the woman said. "You're no match for him when it comes to getting information out of him."
"Then I'll start with that wizard Mego and his other two servants. The three of them don't look very smart," Chen Cheng said.
The woman thought for a moment and said, "That's fine too."
At that moment, the little witch An 'an asked with sparkling eyes, "Then will we be able to see Sister Xia when we go to Ghent this time?"
"Yes, she'll go too," the woman replied with a smile.
"That's great," An 'an said with a smile.
…
The next day, the caravan set off early in the morning. Unlike the day before, the caravan guards were much more vigilant. Everyone was patrolling the caravan on horseback. Qian Weining even sent two people out to act as scouts in case they were ambushed by the bandits without knowing it.
Seeing how Qian Weining arranged all the guards in an orderly manner, Ren Xiaosu wanted to bring him to the Northwest even more. Although Qian Weining was only a company or battalion level cadre material, he could not be too picky when the Northwest was rising!
Anyway, Ren Xiaosu had already made up his mind to abduct hundreds of thousands of people, so one more wouldn't make a difference!
In the meantime, Chen Cheng took advantage of the time when Ren Xiaosu was wandering around and quickly became familiar with the two sheep people, Li Chenggong and Liu Ting.
Li Chenggong and Liu Ting came from well-to-do families, but Chen Cheng, this young man, had a glib tongue. He relied on his experience of traveling all over the country to scare the two sheep people into running around in circles. They hung out with Chen Cheng and listened to his stories all day long …
In just a short while, Chen Cheng was shocked to find out from the sheep people that the young man named Ren Xiaosu was not a citizen of the Wizard Nation!
