【Sister, I know your secret. 】

After seeing these words on the letter, Tong Jia not only stopped talking, but also broke out in cold sweat on his back.

Silencing the witness was the solution she could think of to solve the problem once and for all.

But I remembered that in the letter Meng Po gave me, it said that the bad medicines she gave could only be used for bad people, not good people.

This kid may not be a good person, but he doesn't seem to be a bad person either.

If I really kill him, it will have a huge impact on my future.

Thinking that this child might not really know his biggest secret, and might be lying to him, he said nonchalantly, "What secrets could I have? Don't just talk nonsense... No, write nonsense."

The boy lowered his head and wrote four words on the paper: [Cave, disappear.]

After writing, he looked up at Tong Jia deeply, then burned the paper.

Then he took another piece of paper and wrote on it: [Sister, when you disappear, you need someone to cover for you.

I look like a child, and no one knows I can write. As long as I don't tell anyone, no one will know your secret, and I can protect you well.

"You little brat, you still want to protect me? What are you thinking?" Tong Jia took the paper from the boy's hand, folded it again and again, lit it next to the oil lamp, and threw it into the trash can.

Watching the wisps of smoke drifting out of the trash can, Tong Jia sighed and asked, "Then why do you want to follow me? Your own uncle would harm you, so are you so sure I wouldn't?"

The boy nodded, then turned around and wrote on the letter paper: [I believe you.]

Tong Jia sighed helplessly again.

Apart from blaming myself for being careless, I can only accept this result silently.

There's no way to refuse to accept it. You can't just kill the person.

Anyway, this child won't grow up, so just keep him as a pet for now.

Since she planned to keep the child by her side, Tong Jia would have a good chat with the child.

She said, "Since you insist on staying, let's have a frank talk. First, tell me your name."

The boy wrote on the paper: [My name is Tao Junle. When my parents were alive, they all called me Lele. Sister, you can call me Lele from now on.]

Tong Jia nodded and continued, "Le Le, are you from here? Do you have any other relatives? After your uncle poisoned and mute you and kicked you out, didn't anyone else in your family stand up for you?"

Tao Junle looked up at Tong Jia, then lowered his head and wrote: [Sister, there are other people in my family, but if they were willing to make the decision for me, they would not allow my uncle to poison me and make me mute.

You don't have to think about taking me to find my so-called relatives and handing me over to them.

If you really do that, you'll be sending me to death.

The last word "death" was written with such force that it even cut through several pieces of paper below.

"Is it really that serious?" Tong Jia imagined a huge drama of brothers fighting against each other in the family, and asked curiously, "So... your family is very rich?"

Tao Junle nodded, then shook his head and continued writing: [My mother is rich. My maternal grandparents only have her and my aunt. My aunt is more than ten years older than my mother. She got married early and moved away.

My mother told me that when my grandparents passed away, we couldn't contact my aunt, and it seemed that she had gone abroad with her in-laws.

Therefore, all the money from my maternal grandparents was left to my mother. Although my father was poor, he was capable, could speak several languages, and was well-educated.

In fact, I like staying at the door of the Yang family because Yang Jixia gives me the feeling that he is very similar to my father.

But he is not as good a person as my father.

My father was too loyal and righteous, which is why he was harmed by my uncle.

"So your uncle killed your parents just to steal your mother's money? That's too shameless!" Tong Jia felt that she had only lived for three days in place of Grandma Rong, but she had encountered all kinds of weird things.

Not to mention Yang Jixia who wanted to get a daughter-in-law for free to fulfill his filial duty, Tao Junle's uncle was so greedy that he even moved to his sister-in-law's house. It was like there were all kinds of birds in the forest, which opened her eyes.

[Sister, don't send me back. They will really kill me.]

Tao Junle held up the paper with this sentence in front of Tong Jia, and Tong Jia nodded solemnly.

She touched Tao Junle's head and said, "Don't worry, I won't send you back.

But... I really hope you can think it over carefully. Are you sure you want to follow me?

For some reasons, I have to go to Yang Jixia to formally divorce him and ask him to give me an explanation.

Although Yang Jixia is a little unkind to me and his family, he is also an ambitious man and he will definitely go to the battlefield.

If I want to find him, I will inevitably have to go to a place where war may occur.

This is very unsafe, you might lose your life soon, do you still want to come along?"

Tao Junle didn't hesitate and wrote on the paper: [Sister, do you think I can live on if I don't follow you?]

Tong Jia was stunned. Indeed, when the nest is overturned, no eggs will be left intact.

Even if Tao Junle didn't follow him, it would be difficult for him to survive in this chaotic world alone.

But I can't do it alone, I really need a helper.

Maybe Tao Junle is the helper sent by Grandma Rong and my grandmother to me.

After Tong Jia thought it over, she placed her hands on Tao Junle's shoulders, looked him straight in the eyes, and asked again to confirm, "Are you sure you don't regret it?"

Tao Junle nodded very firmly.

Tong Jia loosened her hands and said, "Okay then. I also need help.

From today on, you are my younger brother. No matter what happens, you must listen to me and only listen to me. Can you do this?"

Tao Junle nodded.

Tong Jia continued, "In that case, from today on, I'll tell everyone you're my younger brother. My name is Tong Jia, and yours will be Tong Le, okay?"

Tao Junle was about to nod instinctively, but suddenly looked up at Tong Jia, then turned back and wrote on the paper: [Sister, isn’t your name Rong Xintong?]

Tong Jia said, "Yes, my name is Rong Xintong. But Rong Xintong is the second daughter-in-law of the Yang family, and I don't want to be her. I decided to give myself a new name, even if it means starting over.

In this way, no matter what I do when I go out, it has nothing to do with the Yang family, nor will it implicate my mother's family.

What? Do you have any objections?

Tao Junle shook his head and continued writing: [Sister, just call me Lele. That’s what my parents call me.

As for changing the name...】

"I don't really want you to change your name, I just want it to be easier to talk to you when you go out in the future. If you don't want to change it, just call me that." Tong Jia explained.

Seeing Tao Junle's mood was a little lost, Tong Jia thought for a moment and said, "Then from now on I'll tell others that my name is Tong Jia and you're my brother, Le Le. As for your full name, I won't elaborate. Is that okay?"

Tao Junle nodded happily.

Tong Jia asked: "Does your name have any special meaning?"

Tao Junle wrote: [My mother's name is Gao Lijun. My father originally wanted me to be called Tao Junle, so that my name would contain the characters from both his name and my mother's name.

But my grandfather said that apart from the surname, I cannot use the same character as the elders, so my mother changed my name to "Jun".

She said that I was everything to her and my father, and their greatest hope for me was to be happy all my life. "Jun" means all.

When I am happy, she and my father will be happy too.

Since I am happy, it means that I am healthy and everything goes well.

Everything my parents left me was snatched away by my uncle and his gang. Only this name remains with me, so I don't want to change it.

Tong Jia touched Tao Junle's head distressedly and said, "Then let's not change it."

Tao Junle smiled and nodded, then continued writing: [Just do as my sister just said to the people outside.]

Tong Jia asked, "Le Le, are you from here? Do you know how much your uncle has taken from you?"

Anyway, she didn't plan to stay in the RV for a long time. She only needed to leave two seats and a bathroom for her use, and the rest of the place could be used to store things. If Tao Junle's home was not far away, she wanted to take Tao Junle to get her parents' things back first.

Upon hearing this, Tao Junle looked at Tong Jia in confusion.

Tong Jia thought for a moment and said, "When you were in the cave that day, did you see me suddenly disappear and then suddenly appear?"

Tao Junle nodded.

Tong Jia continued, "I have a treasure where I can store things. I put the money given by the Yang family in it.

I am the only one who can go to that place. If it is dangerous, I might be able to take you in, but the time cannot be too long.

So, if your home is not far away, I can go back with you and get back everything that belongs to you.

Of course, I have to make it clear in advance that I can't go with you for nothing.

I'll charge a toll and storage fee, so I'll just take 10 percent of the items. What do you think?"

When Tao Junle heard this, his eyes lit up instantly.

He immediately wrote an address on a piece of paper, which turned out to be in the provincial capital.

To prevent someone from recognizing Tao Junle, Tong Jia did not take him with her when she went to scout the place, but asked him to go to the train station to buy a ticket.

Since Tao Junle's home is in the provincial capital, he would definitely report the case if something was lost at home, and Tao Junle who suddenly appeared in the provincial capital would be suspected.

So, after they got their things, they planned to leave the provincial capital immediately and go to other places.

As for the location, after Tong Jia recalled the modern history she learned in her previous life, she felt that the most likely place Yang Jixia would go was the northwest, so she also planned to go to the northwest.

She finished her scouting and bought Tao Junle's train ticket.

Tong Jia took Tao Junle to buy some cooked food and asked him to go to the train station with his luggage first.

She changed into men's clothes and went to Tao's house in a simple manner.

The first stop was the Tao family's kitchen. After she drugged everyone in the Tao family and made them faint, she wandered around the Tao family with peace of mind.

The Tao family is a rice merchant. Now that there is war, there are many places in the house where food is stored.

However, due to the small area inside the RV, Tong Jia could only move the things under the awning to the second floor of the RV, and then store a lot of high-quality rice, millet and mung beans under the awning.

After that, she focused on going to the Tao family's warehouse according to the map that Tao Junle drew for her.

According to Tao Junle's description of her mother's dowry box and dressing box, after taking these things from the warehouse, she prepared to leave and go to the study to look for the things left by Tao Junle's father.

But when she reached the door, she hesitated again.

I thought: Only accepting things from Tao Junle’s mother, this direction is too obvious.

So, in order to confuse the public, she simply took away all the gold, silver and cloth in the Tao family's warehouse.

When she got to the study, she had even less trouble. Just like at the Yang family, she even put away the bookshelf and the beautiful vases.

In the blink of an eye, the study was empty.

What was even more surprising was that they found a small secret room in the study, which contained a lot of large and small yellow croakers, two Browning pistols and a box of bullets.

Tong Jia was not polite at all and accepted them all.

After packing up, Tong Jia entered the RV.

I found that the things I had just brought in filled up the first floor of the RV.

So, she first moved the bookshelf and desk that she had just brought in to the second floor, and then put the Browning and the box of bullets on the table, together with the paper cutter that she had previously collected from the Yang family for self-defense.

Then he put all the gold, silver and cloth he had collected into the space under the bed on the second floor. The boxes took up a lot of space, so he sent them all back to the Tao family without leaving a single one behind.

What should be placed in the warehouse should be placed in the warehouse, and what should be placed in the secret room should be placed in the secret room.

Although the furniture in the study took up a lot of space, she thought that the furniture of wealthy families had many mechanisms and something might be missed. She still wanted Tao Junle to come in and find his father's belongings himself, so she did not clear out the furniture.

As for the furniture she had collected in the Yang family's study, she cleared it all out and moved it to the roof of the car.

After the comparison, those woods are not worth looking at.

Tong Jia planned to sell the Yang family's furniture after arriving in the northwest so that it would not take up space in the RV.

After doing all this, she went to the kitchen to collect all the cooked food, and then left the Tao family in a swagger.

When Tong Jia arrived at the train station, there were less than ten minutes left before departure.

Tao Junle had been standing at the entrance of the train station waiting for her. The moment he saw her appear, he almost ran towards her.

But they didn't have much time to talk, as there were too many people here and it was not convenient to communicate with pen and paper.

Tong Jia used a simple gesture to reassure Tao Junle, then took the luggage from Tao Junle and pulled him into the station.

The moment the two got on the train, the train whistle sounded, followed by a "clang...clang..." sound, and the train started moving.

As the train started moving, no matter what happened in the provincial capital tomorrow morning, it would have nothing to do with them.

Although Tao Junle cannot speak, he has beautiful handwriting. He was taught by his father before, so he understands the ways of the world better than Tong Jia.

Although he had not been in contact with Tong Jia for a long time, he could see that Tong Jia had a lot of problems. When buying the tickets, he simply bought six sleeper tickets and hung the curtains to protect the privacy of the two to the greatest extent.

The two spent three days and two nights on the train from the provincial capital to the northwest, and they did not arrive in the northwest until the evening of the fourth day.
