Uncle Li used his sword to cut off the killers who were about to attack Luo Xiaoran from behind, but his left arm was cut by the last killer, leaving a deep gash that was visible to the bone.

Luo Xiaoran turned around, killed the last man with a backhand knife, and looked at Uncle Li, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay, I won't die. I'll go back to the city right now." Uncle Li covered his wound and looked at the only living person on the ground.

That was the head of the group of killers, with its limbs and jaw removed and thrown there by Uncle Li.

He must know who the other accomplices are in Qingzhou. As long as we pry open his mouth, find those people and kill them all, Chen'er and Cai Cai will be safe.

Luo Xiaoran clearly saw blood dripping from Uncle Li's arm, and his lips began to turn white little by little.

Although she didn't want to care about him at all, her life was still in his hands. Luo Xiaoran said, "Bandage the wound. It won't take long."

Luo Xiaoran installed an extremely sturdy cloth bag under the carriage last night, and Xiao Xingchen was inside it, sleeping in it like a hammock.

One of the reasons they drove the carriage so slowly just now was that they didn't want to wake up the sleeping little Xingchen. They were also afraid that the cloth bag would fall off the bottom of the carriage due to the bumpy road.

Luo Xiaoran first took Xiao Xingchen out of the cloth bag under the carriage, and then put him into the carriage. Then she found a piece of soft material in the carriage, cut it into strips, and bandaged Uncle Li's wound.

"If you don't want to die, go to the clinic and get some medicine after you're done. If your wound gets inflamed, you'll definitely die."

Although the injury was sustained in order to save Luo Xiaoran, she had not forgotten how Uncle Li resorted to intimidation and inducement last night when his soft policy didn't work on her.

Therefore, what Luo Xiaoran said was not nice to hear.

Uncle Li watched Luo Xiaoran gently carry Xiao Xingchen onto the carriage, then looked at the butterfly-shaped knot on his arm. He pursed his lips, rolled his throat three times, and finally knelt down on the ground.

"What are you doing? Didn't you poison me? Why are you kneeling down and begging for mercy?" Luo Xiaoran was shocked.

Uncle Li closed his eyes, paused for a moment, and then suddenly opened them again, "Cai Cai, there is actually no poison at all. Uncle Li lied to you."

"You lied to me?" Luo Xiaoran asked.

"Yes! I do have poison, but I won't use it on my own people. Even if I poison someone, I will use it on the people in Qingzhou City.

The reason I lied to you was to get you to cooperate in counterattacking today's assassination."

"Then why are you telling the truth now?" Luo Xiaoran was forced by Uncle Li with both soft and hard tactics yesterday. She felt very aggrieved and wanted to chop Uncle Li, the old villain, to pieces.

But when I calmed down, I felt that I was too excited. Now that I have got involved in this mess, I can only deal with it as it happens.

“I didn’t expect that man’s hands were so long and he had developed so many forces in Qingzhou. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have sent so many people to kill us.

There must be many of their people in the city. I will kill them all at the cost of my life. Only in this way can you be safe. So I don’t know if I can still go to Yizhou to find you in three months. "

Uncle Li said this with a helpless look on his face, then stared at Luo Xiaoran's face with guilt, with a rare seriousness in his eyes.

"Cai Cai, Uncle Li knows that you are not an ordinary girl, the kind of girl who only thinks about getting married and having children when she is old enough, and obeys her father before marriage, her husband after marriage, and her son after her husband dies.

You have your own methods, strategies, and pursuits.

Uncle Li, I beg you, no matter whether I can find you or not, please help me take good care of Chen'er, he is innocent.

In fact, if I survive by chance, it would be better for me not to look for you.

This way, no one will know Chen'er's identity through me, and you won't be implicated.

He will be an ordinary child, able to live an ordinary life with you. Don't you also say that 'ordinary life is the truth'?"

"Grandpa, sister, what are you doing?" Little Xingchen, who had just woken up, got off the carriage, rubbing the corners of his eyes that were not fully open with his two little hands.

Uncle Li quickly pulled him over and made him kneel down. Little Xingchen hadn't even noticed the many corpses on the ground. "Chen'er, come and kowtow to your sister and ask her to keep you. Hurry!"

"Grandpa, what are you talking about? Why did you ask my sister to leave me behind? We have always been together, like a family!"

Little Xingchen was startled by Uncle Li's sudden strange behavior and was very confused.

"Don't ask why. Just let your sister take you in. From now on, you must be obedient to your sister and don't make her angry. Be good, Chen'er." Uncle Li stared at the confused little Xingchen with a look of reluctance.

"Wuwuwu~ Grandpa, do you not want Chen'er anymore? Why did you abandon Chen'er? Is it because Chen'er was naughty and made you angry?"

Little Xingchen seemed to feel that his grandfather was not joking with him, and that he was really going to leave him alone, and he immediately burst into tears in fear and sadness.

"It's not that Chen'er is bad, Chen'er is the best behaved one. It's just that grandpa has to go on a long journey for something, so you should quickly ask your sister to take you in, ah~" Uncle Li patiently comforted little Xingchen.

"I don't want to, I want to be with Grandpa. Grandpa, are you angry because you see my sister and I riding horses together and ignoring you?

Don't be angry. Although I like my sister very much, my favorite person is grandpa. Grandpa, please don't chase me away, okay!" Xiao Xingchen cried out of breath and turned to Luo Xiaoran for help:

"Sister, can you please say something to Grandpa for me? Can't the three of us walk together? Aren't we always together?"

Luo Xiaoran felt mixed emotions as she watched this self-torture trick that was planned by Uncle Li and performed by Xiao Xingchen without his knowledge.

I could hear the deep love between Uncle Li and his grandson, and my mind flashed through every detail of the past few months on the road of fleeing famine...

"We can't delay any longer, Caicai, Chen'er is left to you." Uncle Li's words brought Luo Xiaoran, who was daydreaming, back to reality.

When she came to her senses, she saw that Xiao Xingchen had been knocked unconscious by Uncle Li. He was now holding him in his arms and passing him to Luo Xiaoran. The bandage on his left arm was already bleeding.

Luo Xiaoran didn't say anything. Uncle Li directly stuffed Xiao Xingchen into Luo Xiaoran's arms and turned away!

"Stop! Did I promise you?" Luo Xiaoran stopped him.

Uncle Li did not look back. "Cai Cai, if you don't want to adopt him, then find a good family for him. He is a boy, maybe someone would like him to carry on the family line."

"Uncle Li, you're a bastard!" Carrying on the family line, what a great way to carry on the family line!

"Cai Cai, the chicken soup that night outside Changzhou City was so delicious! If there is a chance, Uncle Li would like to drink another bowl of your chicken soup!"

After saying this, he left resolutely!
