I fell through the tunnel and brought my family to live a good life

Shen Xiao did not want to involve Xu Congyi in this complicated dispute, which involved too many forces and too many conspiracies. He was worried that once Xu Congyi was involved, she would fall into endless darkness. However, at this point, he could only do his best to protect her and keep her away from the vortex of this dispute.

He raised his head and looked at Xu Congyi.

"Sister Xu"

There was a hint of tenderness in his voice. "This matter is really serious. The danger and complexity are far beyond your imagination. I will always remember your life-saving grace. If you need anything in the future, I, Shen Xiao, will do my best to help you."

Shen Xiao paused, as if he was considering his words, and then continued, "It's just that our disappearance this time will definitely arouse suspicion and investigation from all parties. Sister Xu, this matter was caused by me, and I will never let you fall into danger because of me. I hope you can..."

"Brother Shen Xiao, I completely understand your concerns." Xu Congyi interrupted him directly.

Although her voice was hurried, every word was sonorous and powerful. "I know how many complicated forces and conspiracies are involved behind this incident, but I don't want to just stand by and watch you bear the wind and rain and danger alone. My strength may be insignificant, but I sincerely hope that I can be by your side, shoulder to shoulder with you, do my best to share your burden and overcome difficulties with you."

Xu Congyi's words made Shen Xiao feel strangely moved. Although he had a special feeling for this little girl, her words still caught him off guard. He had never dared to think deeply about this issue, not to mention that he was still deeply involved in this dispute and had no right to talk about love.

However, Xu Congyi's words forced him to face his own heart. He looked at her serious look, and an indescribable emotion surged in his heart. Her determination and courage at the moment surprised and admired him. He thought that maybe he should tell her his feelings. But Shen Xiao also knew that now was not the time. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He knew that he could not delay important things because of his personal feelings, and he could not let Xu Congyi fall into danger because of him.

Xu Congyi was also flustered. Oh my god, what did she say? Why did she say everything in her heart when she was excited? This was not an expression of her willingness to help, but a confession of love. She suddenly felt her cheeks getting hot, and secretly regretted her impulsiveness.

After this brief embarrassment, Xu Congyi quickly calmed down her inner fluctuations and calmed down her emotions. She knew that the hesitation and embarrassment at this moment would not solve the problem, but might make the situation more complicated. So, she mustered up her courage, looked up at Shen Xiao again, and spoke in a firm and gentle tone.

"Brother Shen Xiao, I really hope you can let me help you." Xu Congyi's voice was full of sincerity and pleading, "I know that I may not be able to solve those major problems for you, nor can I directly participate in the disputes you are facing. But please believe me, even if my power is insignificant, I have my own value and role."

She paused and continued, "I have space and medical skills, which can come in handy at critical moments. In a situation like today, if I can be by your side, I can at least provide you with a way out and take you out of danger. I don't want to be a burden to you, I just hope to be your solid backing and share some of your pressure."

But deep down in his heart, Shen Xiao still didn't want Xu Congyi to get involved. He knew the dangers and hardships involved, and didn't want the innocent and kind girl to bear unnecessary risks and pressure. But Xu Congyi's determination and persistence far exceeded his imagination. If he refused blindly, it would only make her more determined to get involved.

Shen Xiao pondered for a moment and decided to retreat in order to advance.

He sighed softly and looked at Xu Congyi tenderly: "Sister Xu, I appreciate your kindness. But the enemy is cunning and it may be dangerous for you to get involved. I don't want you to get into trouble. Since it is not easy for us to meet, I hope you can use your wisdom to support me behind the scenes and give me advice. If you come to the city, you can find Wenhao and the three of us will discuss countermeasures together."

Shen Xiao's words did make sense. Xu Congyi was like a barber with a hot head at the moment. Although she was eager to help, she lived in Liushuzhuang Village after all, and she didn't have many opportunities to go to the city. It was rare that she could catch up today. If there were such situations in the future, she might not be able to get to Shen Xiao in time. Thinking that her promises and determination might become empty talk, Xu Congyi couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. She didn't want to paint a rosy picture for Shen Xiao, and she didn't want him to be distracted by her. So, she nodded seriously and said, "Brother Shen Xiao, I understand. I will use my wisdom to support you behind the scenes and give you advice to the best of my ability. If necessary, I will go to the city to find Master Tang, and the three of us will discuss countermeasures together."

Seeing that Xu Congyi had taken it in, Shen Xiao's worries immediately dissipated, and his tense nerves relaxed. His shoulders sank slightly, and his tense muscles relaxed.

Just then, his stomach suddenly made a loud "gurgling" sound, breaking the brief silence.

Shen Xiao's cheeks flushed instantly. He touched his stomach awkwardly, feeling annoyed. It turned out that although Shen's noodle shop only served breakfast and lunch, Grandpa Shen and he still had two meals a day, and they ate when the noodle shop was not busy. However, since he went to find out the man's schedule early in the morning and was eager to act, he did not have time to eat breakfast. Now, it was almost eleven o'clock and he was already starving.
