At the beginning, I saved a little mute

When Que Yunsheng woke up in the morning, he learned that Xie Chengjing had left overnight without leaving any news.

He simply said "oh" and went to find Jiang Zao to bring her breakfast.

"Mr. Xie and the others have left?" Jiang Zao was very surprised. Didn't they say that they would travel together?

Jiang Zao even wondered in his heart whether Mr. Xie decided to keep an eye on them nearby because he was worried about them.

Finally, they left without saying a word.

Jiang Zao couldn't help but feel guilty for his dark thoughts.

After breakfast, Que Yunsheng took Jiang Zao out.

Jiang Zao didn't understand why and followed all the way.

"Mr. Que, I think the first house in front is the best one." The brothel owner was of medium build, chubby and looked very kind.

While introducing her, I looked at her and thought, what a pity it is that the girl is so pretty but she is blind.

"There are nine households in this alley. The people around this yard are all easy to get along with, so it's very suitable for a little girl to live in. There's also a well in the yard, so drinking water is very convenient. But the rent is a bit more expensive."

Listening to the broker's introduction, Jiang Zao felt nervous.

She pulled Que Yunsheng over and whispered, "Why do you want to rent a house?"

"You need to settle down. Although you haven't found your relatives yet, maybe you just haven't remembered them yet. They must be in this county. When you remember them, you can go find them directly."

This time it was to rent a house.

He had already made clear inquiries and found a realtor to look for a few houses with good environments and harmonious neighbors.

He wants to rent a house for Jiang Zao.

In fact, according to Que Yunsheng's idea, he wanted to buy a house for Jiang Zao, but he didn't have any extra money.

"If we don't like this one, we can go to the next one. Then I'll feel more at ease when I leave."

Jiang Zao's mind was filled with the thought that he was leaving.

Que Yunsheng said this last time, but he left after he finished speaking, without giving Jiang Zao a chance to continue asking.

In the next few days, he followed him to Ning County, and Jiang Zao thought he had given up the idea of ​​going to the northern border long ago.

She couldn't see so she could only hold on to Que Yunsheng's sleeve tightly, "You want to leave? Leave me alone?"

"It's not just you, there's Chunyu as well." Que Yunsheng felt a little grateful to Xie Chengjing. At least he gave Jiang Zao a little girl, so the problem of taking care of Jiang Zao was temporarily solved.

In the future, he would work hard to accumulate military merits and get promoted, and make a lot of money and ask someone to bring it to Jiang Zao. He would be able to take good care of Jiang Zao.

"You just want to leave me alone. That's what you originally planned." Jiang Zao's voice became sharper and sharper. "You just want to abandon me because I'm blind, so you can get rid of me as a burden."

The more I think about it, the more this makes sense.

They had no relatives or friends at all, so why would Que Yunsheng take care of her?

Even though they had gone through hardships together to get here, Que Yunsheng had done his best and it was time to get rid of her.

When he thought of this, Jiang Zao felt panic for no reason and tears started to fall.

Her fingertips turned white, and she pulled Que Yunsheng's sleeves tightly, as if only in this way could she feel more at ease without being able to see.

When the broker saw that they were having a conflict, he tactfully went outside to wait.

The real estate agent has seen this kind of situation many times. It is just a disagreement or the rent is too expensive.

The young couple was just doing it for him, an outsider, to see.

He refused to look and waited for them to discuss it themselves.

"You are not a burden, who said you are a burden?" Que Yunsheng felt a slight pain in his heart. At this time, he didn't know that this was the feeling of heartache for Jiang Zao.

He just couldn't bear to see Jiang Zao cry.

"Then you're going to leave me." Jiang Zao sobbed.

She didn't want to cry, but the tears just couldn't stop falling and she couldn't control it.

"I'm not going to abandon you."

"Then why do you rent a house?"

Que Yunsheng was silent for a moment, which gave Jiang Zao a clue. "See, you just want to leave me alone and go on a free and easy life. Without me as a burden, you can go wherever you want."

She didn't mention the North.

But Que Yunsheng still said, "Don't cry." He had no way to deal with Jiang like this.

"I just wanted to go to the North. It's not a good place for you. It will be better for your health if you recover here. I will ask someone to bring money back later. Don't worry."

Jiang Zao felt very uncomfortable, "Why do you still want to go to the North? Obviously, Mr. Xie has left. Even if you don't go, he won't know."

Jiang Zao didn't understand. In the beginning, it was because they ran into Master Xie's disciples that Que Yunsheng had to agree. Now that Master Xie didn't say a word, why was he still thinking about going to the Northern Border?

She knew from Que Yunsheng's description that life was very hard and difficult, especially when she occasionally heard others talking about the dangers of defending the northern border against foreign enemies while reselling goods a few days ago, which made her have a bad impression of that place.

In short, don’t go if you can avoid it.

She has been working hard to make money these days, and she has not stopped even though her eyesight is not good, just to find another way out for the two of them.

Maybe, after seeing her talent in business, Mr. Xie would give up on letting Que Yunsheng go to the northern border?

Que Yunsheng shook his head, remembering that Jiang Zao couldn't see, and immediately moved closer and whispered, "He is gone, but..."

"But what?" Jiang Zao asked, her face slightly reddening as Que Yunsheng got closer to her.

“…He was a man of noble status, and this trip must have been unknown to outsiders, so we caught him doing it, and he didn’t want to kill us at first just because we were indeed innocent.

But later I accidentally revealed his identity. Even if he didn't want to kill me, he couldn't bear the thoughts of his subordinates, so he gave me a chance.

Going to the North was his chance to give me life."

Jiang Zao bit his lower lip and said, "But there's no one here now."

Que Yunsheng took a deep breath and said, "There is someone. I can feel it. There is someone following us not too far away."

Those should be the people that the Third Prince left behind on purpose to keep a close eye on their next moves, and there was more than one person.

His own life doesn't matter, but Jiang Zao is innocent.

The weather in the north is cold and harsh, and he would only feel at ease if Jiang Zao stayed here.

"What?" Jiang Zao was shocked. She didn't feel anyone approaching at all.

But she believed in Que Yunsheng.

She couldn't help but look distressed, "What should I do? Is it really only possible to go to the North? What if you..."

"There's no such thing as a chance of an emergency. I will protect myself, so you should take care of yourself too. I won't leave until your eyes are healed."

There was silence in the air.

Jiang Zao didn't speak for a long time.

Que Yunsheng thought she had figured it out.

For some reason, he felt empty and uncomfortable in his heart.

He took a deep breath and said, "Come on, let's go check out some other stores and pick one you like."

He held Jiang Zao's hand.

Jiang Zao didn't move.

Que Yunsheng was very confused. He turned around and saw Jiang Zao's pretty face with her pink lips slightly parted.

"I will go with you."

Que Yunsheng felt his heart pounding and he heard his own voice.

"Together, where are we going?"

"To the North."
