Pan Zi wanted to step forward and speak, but Ling Xiao interrupted him.

"Alright, stop hiding. I know you're innocent. Do you think I'd eat you?" Ling Xiao said, glancing at Xie Yuhua before walking alone towards the wooden house.

"Young Master..."

Xie Yuhua wanted to check on the child, but Wu Xie kept clinging to his arm and looked dejected.

Wu Xie was clearly feeling guilty, but he felt that nothing he said was right. He wanted to apologize, since Ling Xiao's agreement to come here was largely due to his encouragement. He wasn't deliberately avoiding Ling Xiao, but he was afraid that Ling Xiao might get agitated and push him down again. He didn't know what to do, so he could only place his hopes on Xiao Hua. But now it seemed as if they were all united against Ling Xiao...

So he unconsciously tightened his grip on Jieyuhua's hand.

This left Xie Yuhua somewhat at a loss. Wu Xie was his childhood friend, and now that he was being misunderstood, he naturally had to help explain. But his wife was also wronged, so he had to comfort her, especially since his wife was different from other people's wives.

Xie Yuhua patted Wu Xie's hand that was gripping his arm, and Wu Xie finally realized what was happening. Xie Yuhua comforted Wu Xie, signaling him not to be so nervous, and then took Wu Xie with him to find the child.

When Wu Xie pushed open the door, he found only Shun Zi sitting there, leaning on his head and dozing off, guarding a pot of soup.

"Where's Lingzi?" Shunzi, woken up by Wuxie, wiped his drool and asked sleepily, "What silver?"

Jieyuhua glanced at the simple house and rushed out without saying a word. As soon as she stepped out of the house, she heard a faint noise.

Following the direction of the sound, Jieyuhua looked down and found that it was Ah Ning's group below. Ling Xiao and Hei Xiazi had somehow gotten there and were brazenly mingling in with them.

Just as Wu Sansheng had said, Aning and the child were catching up. Jieyuhua watched the child pacing back and forth around the tent, and then saw Aning resting her forearm on Lingxiao's shoulder, showing him their latest weapon.

"We agreed that we couldn't buy guns, so how come they have so many real guns and ammunition? We don't have any practical tools. If a fight breaks out, are we really going to use a bunch of basins to block their bullets and use sanitary napkins to hit them?"

"Since Lingzi is so close to them, do you think she might sneak some artillery shells on her way back? That way, we won't be so wronged." The fat man couldn't help but feel a little envious.

"Why did Lingzi run off to that woman's place!" Wu Xie asked anxiously, holding his binoculars.

"He's looking for Wu Sansheng," Xie Yuhua answered for the child.

"Looking for my third uncle? Could my third uncle really be inside?" Wu Xie was a little skeptical. He was prepared for his third uncle to lie to him. Besides, he had looked closely with binoculars and these people were all dressed as mercenaries. How could his third uncle be there? Could he really have been hidden in the tent?

Xie Yuhua sighed and said, "The kid wasn't angry at all. He just wanted to go and scout out the enemy's situation himself. Besides seeing if Wu Sansheng was there, he might actually bring something back, just like Fatty predicted." Xie Yuhua only told half the story. Another part of the reason was that the kid was putting on an act for Pan Zi. Deliberately bullying Wu Xie was also a way of reminding Wu Sansheng not to go too far. It's just a pity that he only understands the kid's intention now.

"Hehe, Lingzi had better bring back a lot of guns and cannons. I've been eyeing that gun that woman has for a long time. Is it the latest model on the market?" Fatty said.

"What are they talking about? Why are they so happy? Did Lingzi ask them to surrender?"

"Pah! Don't you know how to use words? What kind of nice words are those?" Wu Xie retorted to the fat man.
