Famine and exile: I brought the Spirit Spring to save the entire Marquis's mansion.

"Dad, why do you want to buy candy? *slurp*"

The little fish stared longingly, then swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Huo Chang'an said so much, but he only remembered the candy.

Sugar is the most delicious thing; the old man in the village used to give it to him.

This reminded Huo Chang'an of Jin Xin and Jin Xiu when they were exiled.

But back then, because Ning'er was there, Jin Xin and Jin Xiu were never really lacking anything.

Little Fish is too young, only one year old.

They were supposed to live a life of wealth and luxury.

Huo Chang'an had never thought children were cute before, nor did he have the mood or patience to coax them.

Now, however, I feel an overwhelming sense of pity for Xiaoyuer.

How can there be such a tiny child!

She doesn't seem to be much bigger than when my little niece was born!

"Of course it's for Xiaoyuer to eat. With her godfather around, Xiaoyuer won't go hungry. Eat more so she can grow up strong and healthy, okay?"

"Okay! Cheers, cheers, oh oh oh oh..."

Although the little fish is thin, it is still quite energetic.

In this respect, he is very much like Shen Ye.

Huo Chang'an couldn't wait to leave this place immediately and send a message to Shen Ye.

Wen Anyi refused again, took the money and left.

Huo Chang'an and her husband are brothers, so she won't stand on ceremony with him.

Little Fish was born prematurely and was small and thin. She had no skills and couldn't do anything. Although the villagers helped her, she couldn't keep accepting their help indefinitely.

The person I feel most guilty towards is Xiaoyuer.

Judging from Huo Chang'an's character, her husband must be no different.

She was eager to see him soon.

……

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

Uncle Da suddenly ran over.

“Shui Mei, I saw a picture of your husband posted in town. The Prince of Hongkang is trying to capture him. He has searched all the villages along the river and may come here soon.”

Their village is quite secluded; they haven't come over yet, but they can't escape it.

"I've told Ah Long, you all should hurry and get on his fishing boat."

Upon hearing this, Huo Chang'an asked Wen Anyi, "Are you coming together, or should I send someone to pick you up?"

This village has few people and is indeed quite simple and honest. Moreover, after Hong Kang came to the southern border, he increased the taxes, and the people all hated him.

As long as everyone keeps quiet, no one will suspect anything.

"Let's go together!" Wen Anyi was already busy packing her bags.

Okay, anyway, Huo Chang'an is also afraid of something unexpected happening.

"Take some food, don't bother with the rest."

He picked up Xiaoyuer and said to Uncle Da, "Thank you, Uncle Da. I will repay you in the future. After we leave, burn down the house and tell the people in the village to take good care of themselves."

"I understand, you should leave quickly," Uncle Da urged.

He smiled at the bewildered little fish and said, "Little fish, don't forget Grandpa."

"Never forget."

Little Fish took a dried wild apricot out of his mouth and stuffed it into Uncle Da's mouth.

Sugar was sold out in the town, so Uncle Da brought back a bag of dried wild apricots that day.

The little fish was reluctant to eat it, holding it in its mouth for a long time before finally biting it off with its six teeth.

Uncle Da didn't seem to mind. He smacked his lips, turned his back, and didn't say anything more, just waved his hand.

Wen Anyi knelt down and kowtowed.

"Uncle Da, there's some rice left. Take it to Grandma Ding and tell her I'm going home."

"Let's go."

When Huo Chang'an and Wen Anyi arrived at the riverbank, they saw that the thatched hut had already been set on fire.

Ah Long urged them to get on the boat quickly.

Huo Chang'an was initially wary, but when he saw him rowing vigorously and deliberately avoiding villages, his wariness disappeared.

Right.

Even if there were only one wicked person in this village, a weak woman like Wen Anyi would not be able to live in peace.

"Ah Long, just find a secluded spot by the edge of the woods to stop. It will be dangerous if you can't get back after dark."

Wen Anyi had spent a year in the village, so she understood some of the situations.

This river connects to the sea. If you lose your way at night and end up on the sea, you're doomed!

"Will this work?" Ah Long's face was flushed from the sun and covered in sweat as he looked at her and Xiao Yu'er with concern.

Finally, he looked at Huo Chang'an.

"Okay, let's dock," Huo Chang'an said.

Ah Long then moved closer to the shore.

When he disembarked, he took out a bundle of steamed buns and dried fish from the cabin.

"Don't refuse this time, we won't see each other again anyway," he said somberly.

Wen Anyi accepted it and said thank you.

Huo Chang'an looked at Xiaoyuer, who then reached out and stuffed a dried wild apricot into A Long's mouth.

"Uncle Ah Long, I will never forget you."

"Okay, Uncle Long won't forget Little Fish either."

A bird in the tree was suddenly startled and flew away.

Huo Chang'an became alert and hid with his men.

Soon, dozens of people arrived.

"Cousin!"

Huo Chang'an came out.

The person who came was Huo Jiangchu!

Huo Jiangchu was so excited to find the person that he almost cried.

Upon inquiry, it was learned that they had already found more than thirty brothers and had now found Huo Chang'an, but Yan Meng was still nowhere to be found.

"I heard that the Meijiang River connects to the sea. Could Brother Meng have gone and drowned?"

If you rush into the ocean, you're doomed!

Everyone's faces were extremely solemn.

"No way, Meng-ge is a better swimmer than any of us." Huo Chang'an didn't believe it.

"If we were to rush into the sea..." Ah Long suddenly spoke weakly.

"If someone pulls them out, they are still very likely to survive."

Dozens of eyes turned to him.

Ah Long shrank back in fright.

I knew from the start that Shui Mei's husband was no ordinary person. Now that his men have arrived, his demeanor has changed drastically, which is quite frightening.

"Brother A-Long, are you saying you were rescued by a fishing boat?" Huo Chang'an asked.

"No, that's not it. Not far from where the Meijiang River flows into the sea, there is an island. That island used to be uninhabited, but now it has been occupied by the people of Hongkang. I don't know what they are doing on it, but they have captured many strong laborers from the surrounding area and taken them there."

Once you go up there, you can never come back.

Nobody dares to fish there now.

How could such a thing happen!

Huo Chang'an and his companions exchanged glances and realized that there must be important supplies on that island.

"Daddy, sleepy..." Little Yu'er tilted her head, leaned on Huo Chang'an's shoulder, and closed her eyes.

Father!

Huo Jiangchu's eyes widened.

He had been wondering why his fourth brother would hold other people's children, since he didn't even hold Jin Xin and Jin Xiu!

"My lord, you can't just pretend to be someone's father!"

He glanced at the woman beside him, then at Ah Long.

They don't look like a married couple at all.

Huo Chang'an rolled his eyes at him. "This is Shen Ye's son."

Shen Ye.

Wen Anyi's heart skipped a beat.

She had pondered her husband's name countless times since she learned it.

The name captivated her.

But she still couldn't remember what he looked like.

Huo Jiangchu then realized what was going on.

Ah Long looked up and frowned: "Isn't Xiao Yu'er your son?"

Huo Chang'an was having a bit of a headache. He really didn't want to explain so much right now, but seeing that A Long was starting to question him, he couldn't just stay silent.

He had no choice but to explain again and have someone give Ah Long some silver so that he could go back as soon as possible.

Huo Chang'an and his men joined up with the 10,000-strong army.

I also learned that Xin Xuefu and General Yan's wife went to see Aunt Jiu again.

He forgot that Aunt Jiu could use the Black Dragon to find people.

But if it drifts into the ocean, can it still be found?

As it turned out, it was impossible to find the person.

But Aunt Jiu said that the person is still alive! And the location is in the southwest!

The island is located to the southwest.

It seems they're determined to visit the island!
