I want to protect my family, but you force me to take the lead

Winter passes and spring comes.

A month passed in a flash.

Those who went to Kyoto never returned.

When Qin Dashu came home from work, he saw his granddaughter sitting under the eaves in a daze and knew that he was worried.

He shook his head, walked over and sat next to her and whispered, "Nuannuan, your dad and the others will be fine."

"Grandpa, according to the estimated time, my dad and his family should be home by now, but there is no news from my dad."

"Hey... kid, wait a little longer. If there's still no news, let's think of a solution."

"Ah."

Two days later, Zhao Qi came in a hurry.

Before entering the yard, he shouted loudly: "Uncle, Auntie"

"Uncle, my grandpa and grandma have gone to work. What happened?" Qin Nuan, who was left at home, rushed out from the kitchen when she heard Zhao Qi's voice.

"Nuan Nuan, quickly take your uncle to find your grandfather. Something has happened to your father and his family."

"what?!"

"Uncle, you rest at home for a while. I'll go find grandpa and grandma right away." As he said that, he moved and disappeared from Zhao Qi's sight.

When he appeared again, Qin Dashu and Yuan Fangcao had already entered the yard.

"Zhao Qi, tell me what happened?"

"What happened to the third brother?"

"Uncle, aunt, the call was from Jinshi. They just said they were trapped in Jinshi..."

"You mean they met someone with special abilities?"

"Yes uncle, that's what he said on the phone."

"Grandpa and grandma, I'll take care of this. You guys stay here." Qin Nuan said with a cold face after packing up his bag and walking out.

"I'm going to ask your grandfather Dashan for a letter of introduction. Please be careful on your way."

"I'll go get you some pancakes."

"Grandma, don't worry, I'll just bring some cakes and water."

"Hey, wait, grandma will give it to you."

As he said that, Yuan Fangcao entered the house, rummaged around for a while, and came out with a bulging canvas bag and a military canteen. "Girl, there are not only food but also money in here. Keep it. Put on the canteen as well."

"Well, grandma, you don't have to go to work when I'm not home. Someone has to be at home."

"Hey, grandma knows. Be careful on the road, don't be soft-hearted when you meet someone, protecting yourself is the most important thing. If you can save your father, save him, but if you can't, don't be stubborn. We will avenge your father in the future."

Listening to grandma's chatter, especially the last two sentences, Qin Nuan's eyes welled up in tears.

Not long after, Qin Dashu came back, and with him came Qin Dashan, "Girl, this is a letter of introduction. Grandpa was afraid that one was not enough, so he gave you a few extra. You can just write it yourself when you come."

"Yeah, thank you, Grandpa."

"Zhao Qi, please take Nuan Nuan to the station. Thank you for your hard work."

"No trouble. Uncle, let's go."

"Well, be careful on the road."

"I know, Grandpa and Grandma, I will be back soon."

Watching the two people walking away, Qin Dashu and the other two felt even more helpless...

"Dashu, will it be dangerous for Nuan to go alone? She is still a..."

"Brother, believe her. There is no one more suitable than her. Old woman, you should not work until the girl comes back. Brother, this matter..."

"clear."

Qin Nuan went to the commune and took a bus to the city, then bought a ticket and took a train to Jinshi...

Jin City.

An inconspicuous house.

"Wei Jie, you guys stay here to protect the leader. I'll go out and check the situation."

"Zheng Ming, don't go. The situation is unclear now, and we can't tell the enemy from us. We can't take risks. Those people are ruthless and obviously won't leave anyone alive. We can't act alone."

"Yes, Gao Bin is right. Protecting the leader's safety is the most important thing now."

"Perhaps I can."

"you can?"

"Um"

Then, Qin Xiaolin took out a porcelain bottle from the cloth bag Qin Nuan gave him, poured out a pill and swallowed it.

In the blink of an eye, Qin Xiaolin's expression changed.

Gradually, the body shape also changed.

He grew from a thirteen-year-old boy to a young man in his twenties, and his height jumped from 1.5 meters to 1.7 meters.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed that the person in front of them was Qin Xiaolin.

"No matter what's going on outside, it seems those people haven't found this place yet. And the news has been passed back for a week. If someone is coming, it must be my sister. My sister and I have our own unique way of contacting each other, so it will be the fastest if I go."

"There are clothes inside." Gao Bin admired Qin Xiaolin's reaction and meticulous thinking, and pointed to the suitcase bag beside him.

"Thank you."

Not long after, Qin Xiaolin not only changed his clothes, but also took a pair of glasses from his uncle and put them on, then nodded to everyone before leaving...

"Qin Yang, what kind of freaks are there in your family? Is your nephew really only thirteen years old?"

"I've been away from home for five years. Damn, it hurts."

"If it weren't for you, it would have been really hard for us to avoid those people. Thank you."

"Is Xiao Li really okay? He's been in a coma for a whole day and night."

Qin Nuan stood up shakily, walked to Li Yang's side, stretched out her hand to feel his breath, "He's still alive."

"That's good. You are all injured, so take a rest first. Zheng Ming and I will be on guard."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. It will be your turn soon. Those superpowers still need you."

Several people understood each other tacitly and did their own things.

Even so, the sleeping Yu Xiao was protected by them. No matter what happened, they could guarantee that at least one of the four of them could take him away quickly.

Walking on the unfamiliar streets, Qin Xiaolin did not rush, but stopped from time to time to look at the shops on the street and the occasional vendors...

State-owned hotel?

Qin Xiaolin touched the money in his pocket and thought about the people in the room. He walked in calmly, took a look at the menu of the day, and came to the ordering window and said, "Comrade, one pound of braised beef, one portion of braised pork, one portion of stir-fried cabbage, and two pounds of steamed buns. Take it all."

"Comrade, did you bring your lunch box?"

"I forgot because I was in a hurry to go out. Sorry for bothering you, comrade."

Qin Xiaolin handed over two yuan. The waiter at the window was stunned for a moment, then quickly took it and said, "A pound of braised beef is 5 yuan, and a portion of braised pork... Comrade, the total is nine yuan, half a pound of meat coupons plus a pound and two ounces of grain coupons."

"Comrade, thank you." Qin Xiaolin handed over the money, said thank you, and then sat down nearby and waited.

Soon, Qin Xiaolin took the packed steamed buns and dishes and slowly walked out of the state-owned restaurant.

He did not go back immediately, but turned a corner, bought two kilograms of pastries, and then walked back carefully.

After making sure that no one was following him, Qin Xiaolin slipped into an alley and knocked on the gate rhythmically.

"Uncle, I'm Xiaolin, open the door."

"I'm coming." After confirming that it was Qin Xiaolin's voice, Gao Bin quickly responded and opened the door. He looked around vigilantly and quickly closed the door.

"How's it going outside?"
