Pei Yuanxiu’s warm hands supported my waist, and with the help of his strength, I finally climbed onto the carriage.

I looked back at him.

It was still early. Yesterday - or early this morning, we almost didn't rest at all. I was so excited when I got the news about Li'er that I couldn't help but close my eyes and lie down for a while after hearing the news from him. When I opened my eyes, we were here.

At noon, after hurriedly freshening up, it was time to set off.

The terrain of Xichuan is very low, and it is covered by clouds and fog all year round. In the morning, the thick fog filled the surroundings and stained his temples. I looked at his tired face because he had not had a good rest, and I couldn't help but feel guilty.

He said lightly: "You can go back and rest for a while."

"I know, please leave me alone. Come back as soon as you receive Li'er."

"Hmm."

At this point, there seemed to be nothing to say, but I looked at him and then at Yan Qingchen, and the dull place in my heart was now becoming more and more suffocating.

Several times, but I hesitated to speak.

He will not go with me to Sanjiang Gorge to pick up Li'er.

He stayed here for the sake of the overall situation. After all, Yan Qingchen is not as easy to fool as anyone else. But for the two of us who are still newlyweds these days and are almost inseparable, separation is indeed not a pleasant thing.

matter.

However, these are not the reasons that make me uneasy.

What I'm really worried about is——

After all, he is Pei Yuanxiu, the current master of the six provinces south of the Yangtze River.

And this is Xichuan, Yan Qingchen’s sphere of influence.

Nowadays, the world is divided into three parts and has barely reached a state of balance, but how long can this balance be maintained? No one can say clearly. The approach of any two of the three parties will cause the balance to tilt or even be destroyed.

And this kind of destruction means chaos in the world!

Thinking of this, my mood becomes heavier and heavier.

The car body shook, and Su Su also climbed onto the carriage, carefully kneeling beside me and holding my arm. At this time, the people accompanying me were all ready, and Pei Yuanxiu held my hand: "Be careful on the road.

”

"I know."

I looked at him, hesitating to speak. At this time, he gently patted the back of my hand: "Go back quickly."

After saying that, he let go of my hand, and Su Su also put down the curtain to help me sit down. But the moment the curtain fell, Pei Yuanxiu's hand suddenly reached in again, grabbed my wrist, and gently

I squeezed it lightly and then let go.

I was stunned for a moment, and before I could react, the carriage was already moving forward, filled with smoke and dust.

In the blink of an eye, another ten days have passed.

The carriage was still driving, but I had already heard the loud noise like dragons roaring and tigers roaring in the distance. Su Su stood at the window, opened the curtain and looked outside. She turned around and said to me: "Miss, we

Here we are!”

As soon as the curtain was opened, some dazzling golden-red sunlight shone in.

The surrounding mountains are undulating and layer upon layer, indicating the danger and danger of Xichuan. However, the setting sun slowly setting on the horizon gives this scenery a layer of warmth.

After traveling almost non-stop these days, we are finally here!

My heartbeat accelerated involuntarily, and I could not let go of the curtain with one hand. The coachman seemed to sense my anxiety and urgency, and drove the car faster.

The carriage rolled up smoke and dust and drove towards the dock.

The bustling crowd gave me some real proof, but Susu jumped out of the carriage first and helped me walk down. When my feet hit the ground, they were still a little weak, but there was no time to express anything. Susu had already

He held my arm and pointed forward: "Miss, that's the one!"

As soon as I turned my head, I saw the tall official ship parked on the pier, shining with dazzling golden light under the setting sun.

In fact, I have seen ships larger than this official ship, but at this moment, seeing this scene gave me an indescribable feeling of shock.

And I saw more clearly that there seemed to be a figure standing there on the bow of the ship, facing the sun.

Just as I was looking at the big ship in a daze, some people on the dock had already walked over. They were obviously the Yan family's men. They had already set up their formation here. When they saw me, they immediately came over and knelt down to salute: "Goodbye.

Miss."

I finally came to my senses and raised my hand: "Get up."

"Yes."

"Is that the ship from Yangzhou?"

"As for the eldest lady, yes."

"Then I——"

I was just about to ask how I should get on, when I saw a sampan slowly stretching out from the boat. Several guards walked over from the boat, and the attendants around me hurriedly greeted them.

"What happened?"

"We adults know that Mrs. Qingying has arrived, so we have been specially asked to greet her and meet Miss Li."

I walked up and said, "You lead the way."

These followers hesitated for a moment, then one of them walked up to me and whispered: "Miss, just go up like this -"

"It's okay, that adult and I are old acquaintances." I waved my hand, then turned back to Su Su and said, "Just follow me."

"Yes."

These followers were obviously following Yan Qingchen's orders, so they were holding the boat here. Now that I was about to board the boat alone, they were all a little nervous. They followed me to the edge of the dock and watched me step onto the sampan.

Ban, Susu supported me, who was still a little weak in my steps, and walked slowly over.

We got on the boat.

When we stepped onto the deck, the sun was shining brightly.

In fact, it was already sunset, but perhaps it was precisely because this was the last bit of light in the day that it seemed extraordinarily brilliant, even brilliant. The wind blew the cold and fishy smell of the river on my face, blowing it away

The messy hair on the forehead.

With hair flying, a thin figure stands on the bow of the ship.

In his arms, he was holding a small figure.

"Mother——!"

Following that familiar call, the thin figure slowly bent down and put her down. I saw the little figure spread out its hands and flew towards me.

"Mother!"

I felt my arms sink, and she crashed into my arms.

"Mother! Mother! Mother...!"

She kept calling me, her little hands tightly wrapped around my neck and hugged me tightly, and she kept digging into my arms.

Just a moment ago, I felt so weak and empty, but at this moment, it seemed that my whole life was filled with her calls, her breath, and this little body.

Two trembling hands retracted and gently hugged her back. I still couldn't believe that I was already holding her.

"Li'er...?"

"Mother!"

That familiar call was already close to my ears, but I still couldn't believe it. I closed my hands harder and hugged that warm, soft little body.

"Li'er?"

"Mom! You are finally here, Li'er finally sees you..."

As she spoke, she stepped back slightly, holding my face with her two little hands, looking at me with wet eyes, as if she was trying to hold back crying, but at this moment she couldn't hold it in any longer, and finished with choked sobs.

Those two words made me cry loudly. I hurriedly hugged her into my arms, caressing her back and kissing her little face.

The original irritability, impatience, and even faint anger disappeared at this moment.

My daughter is everything to me.

Li'er and I hugged each other on the deck for who knows how long. She finally stopped crying, but she was still twitching. I held her in my arms. Susu was originally worried that I would be weak from the long journey and would have to take her away.

She took it, but I gently raised my hand to stop her.

Then, I raised my head and looked at the bow of the ship.

That thin figure has been standing there, not coming to participate in my reunion with Li'er, nor leaving, just watching quietly.

It's like an outsider watching a show.

Under the bright light of the setting sun, I could barely see the expression on his face.
