My stepmother is here, all the rebellious sons and evildoers should kneel down!

That night, Wen Qiqi and his group stayed in a thatched hut. There were two rooms in the hut, and each room could sleep up to three people.

Die Jiu, Xin Yi, and Fu Xinluo, who was tied up, slept in one room, and the other room was left for Wen Qiqi and Old Lady Chen...

The octogenarian helped Old Lady Chen heal her arm, cursing her as a "troublemaker", but let the masked man help her to the yard.

Wen Qiqi wanted to refuse and wanted to vacate the house and return it to the owner, but the octogenarian shouted angrily: "Get out as soon as the sun rises tomorrow. This is better than anything else!"

He clearly meant well, but his words were extremely harsh.

Qiqi felt warm in her heart and thought that this father and son were really interesting.

A man who appears cynical but is actually a gentleman.

A person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart...

In the small courtyard, the father and son made a temporary bed and lay on it.

"Dad, I'm sorry to make you suffer."

The masked man smiled and said, "I will catch more fish tomorrow to show my filial piety to you."

"Shut up! Saving your life was my biggest mistake!"

The octogenarian frowned, closed his eyes and spoke in a low voice.

The masked man coughed awkwardly: "After all, we are strangers here, please be patient! Give me some face!"

"Face? Do you want face or life?"

The octogenarian pointed towards the room and said in a low voice, "These three girls are from the capital! The capital! I see that girl called Qiqi... she doesn't look like a lady from an ordinary family!"

"You can't see..."

"Even though I can't see it, I can still feel it. At a critical moment like tonight, she didn't abandon the old lady...she brought a few people over the mountain to join us. She spoke and acted in an orderly manner. If she wasn't a girl who had seen big scenes, how could she be so capable?"

The old man lay down again, crossing his arms and using them as a pillow.

The masked man remained silent.

The octogenarian suddenly spoke again: "Don't hide it from me. I suspected you were the one who came back at night! So many soldiers died, but you survived... Look at your archery skills. I can feel the power of the arrow just by the sound! If you didn't practice archery for eight to ten years, how could you kill so many people tonight?"

The masked man also rested his head on his arm and looked at the old man sideways: "Dad, I am also suspicious now... If you said that I really was returning home at night, then the person in the room... Wen Qiqi should be my wife-to-be!"

"what?"

The old man exclaimed and subconsciously covered his mouth.

"Keep your voice down, Dad!"

The masked man quickly said, "I'm just guessing, maybe there are two more sentences! I have a vague impression... Wen Qiqi... this name is so familiar! I can't remember anything else... But the first time I saw her was when she was bathing under the cliff, it was true..."

"You peeked at someone taking a bath? You little bastard, no wonder your dad would protect her even if it meant risking his life!"

The octogenarian pulled out a stick from beside him and swung it at him!

"Don't hit me... don't hit me... Dad! I've already said that I was just guessing. Her last name seems to be Wen! She also told me that she had someone in her heart... but he died! And you said that she is not like a girl from an ordinary family! That's why I'm just guessing! What if I'm just imagining things? It's not worth it for me to get beaten by you."

The father and son chatted for a while under the night sky, and the octogenarian finally fell silent. He paused and said, "Xiao Nian, what are you going to do now? Just tell me, I can bear it."

"Of course, I want to take care of you until the end of your life."

The masked man raised the corners of his mouth and said frankly that he was a little sleepy.

The octogenarian smiled and said, "Yes, it seems that I didn't save you in vain, nor did I serve as your father for several years in vain... Go to sleep!"

The next day, at dawn, Xiaonian couldn't find his father.

"Dad...Dad..."

He rushed into the house, but saw Wen Qiqi and others had just woken up, so he immediately turned his back.

"I'm so sorry! My...my father is missing!"

When the girls heard this, they immediately panicked!

"It's over. Could it be that you guys were sleeping in the yard last night and the old man was captured by the Shadow Gang?"

Die Jiu blurted out.

Xinyi glared at her and said, "You are such a badass! The old man was able to control so many wild wolves just by whistling yesterday. How could he be easily captured by the Shadow Gang? Besides, the Shadow Gang members were so scared yesterday that they would never come back even if they were beaten to death!"

Die Jiu said repeatedly: "What you said makes sense! But I can't see, so I wouldn't go to the mountains alone so early in the morning, right?"

"It's so frustrating! We caused trouble for him yesterday, and today he disappeared! If he really lost his life because of us, my whole life..."

Die Jiu’s words made Xinyi pinch her hard!

She just stopped talking and looked at Wen Qiqi eagerly...

Wen Qiqi was also extremely anxious at this time: "Let's split up and look for him!"

"Keep the change, please!"

The masked man seemed to realize something. Thinking back to the conversation between him and his father last night, he understood everything.

"My father is gone."

"what?"

Wen Qiqi and the others were shocked. Could it be that he really disliked their trouble so he abandoned his home and left?

“He wanted me to do what I was supposed to do.”

The masked man sighed helplessly and looked at Wen Qiqi: "This matter has nothing to do with you. My father and I were planning to move away last night. When you came, we went to the back to place some paper money on the graves."

“Why are you moving?”

Wen Qiqi felt that although the courtyard looked shabby, the father and son were living in seclusion quite comfortably.

I had no plans to move away before.

The masked man said bluntly, "This is because of you. However, this matter is a bit complicated. In the end, it's because of me!"

Wen Qiqi and the others were confused by what they heard and could only comfort him not to worry and that they would look around for a while.

The man shook his head with a wry smile and said, "We can't find him. He moved around a lot and only settled down in the past few years. We found this shabby house to live in. Now that he's gone, we can't find him."

Sure enough, the masked man found a few words carved by the old man on a piece of wood under the makeshift bed where the two men slept last night.

"Don't go back as a general, Xiaonian. Be careful that the emperor will be suspicious and want your life. Dad is gone, we will be together again if we are destined to be together!"

The masked man had a deep look in his eyes and held the wooden board tightly. When he saw Qiqi and the others coming, he immediately broke the wooden board and threw it aside...

"Big brother!"

Wen Qiqi looked at the masked man and sighed, "Qiqi and the others came here and separated you and your son. Now Big Brother is alone...why don't you come back to the barracks with us! I also saw your archery skills last night. If Big Brother is willing to contribute to the country, Qiqi is willing to introduce you to someone else!"

The masked man raised his lips and smiled seductively: "You took me into the barracks so easily? Who are you? What ability do you have to make the barracks accept a wanderer like me? Besides... aren't you afraid that I will have evil ambitions and break military regulations if I enter the barracks!"

"Qiqi is not afraid!"

Wen Qiqi looked at the man with clear eyes and smiled slightly: "Just based on the fact that my elder brother sacrificed himself to save me last night, Qiqi concluded that if you go to the battlefield to defend your country, you must be an extraordinary person! I am willing to bet on you once, are you willing to come with me?"
