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

"Third brother, there is light in the village!"

The brother and sister took a few quick steps and took a closer look. They saw torches burning on both sides of the village entrance and did not smell any blood, so they felt relieved.

"Stop! What are you doing?"

Before we even got close to the village entrance, we heard a loud shout.

"Uncle Zhuzi, it's me, Hua Xiaozi. My sister and I are back." Qin Xiaohua, who heard the voice, hurriedly shouted.

"It's Hua, why are you and Nuan back at this time? Did you encounter any problems on the way?" Hearing Qin Xiaohua's words, Qin Zhuzi walked over with a torch in his hand and asked with concern.

"No. We just wanted to get back to the village quickly, so we didn't stop. Uncle, did something happen in our village?"

"You kid, you are a little mean but you have big eyes. All right, go back and have a rest. Your dad is just walking back. If you hurry up, maybe you can catch up with him. If you have anything, ask your grandfather tomorrow."

"Hey, uncle, let's go back first."

"Go back, go back quickly."

"Hey, thank you uncle."

The brother and sister thanked him and quickly ran towards their home.

"Dad, Dad, wait for us, don't close the door..."

Seeing the gate about to close, Qin Xiaohua suddenly shouted.

Qin Ming paused as he pushed the door open. He looked up and saw two figures running towards him. Hearing the familiar voice, he quickly opened the gate and said with a smile, "Why are you back at this time? You are such a thick-skinned brat. You don't know how to take care of your sister at all."

"Nuan girl, come in quickly. You must be hungry now. Uncle will make you something to eat."

"Thank you, uncle. I'm not hungry."

"What do you mean you're not hungry? Come here and wash up. Your aunt is already doing it. It will be ready in a while." Yuan Fangcao said as she walked out with a basin of warm water.

"Grandma"

"Hey, come and wash up, grandma will light the lamp for you."

"Yeah, thank you grandma."

In the kitchen.

Zhao Xiaocao was picking onions while making a fire.

Li Guihua quickly kneaded the dough and prepared to make dumpling soup.

Yuan Fangcao came out of the house and went straight to the kitchen, "Eldest brother's wife, give each of the three uncles a fried egg."

"Okay. Go and have a rest, Mom. We are here for you."

"When you're done, go back to your room and rest. You have to go to work tomorrow. I'll wash the dishes later, so don't fight over it." As he said that, Yuan Fangcao turned around and took over three bowls, put salt and chopped green onions in the bowls, and added a little bit of lard. Then he took the ladle from the eldest son's wife and waved for the two to hurry back to the house.

Li Guihua and her sister-in-law knew that their mother-in-law really loved them, so they didn't say anything else. They just told the brother and sister to eat and rest quickly, and to talk about it tomorrow, and then went back to the house.

After washing, Qin Ming walked into the kitchen and looked at the fire first, then prepared to do it himself. Unexpectedly, his mother raised her hand and slapped him away, "Why are you rushing? It will be ready soon. You should go back to the house after eating. You have to work during the day and patrol the village at night."

"Mom, it's okay. Let me do it."

"Go aside."

"Grandma, this backpack was prepared by Grandma Lan. You can see what's inside later." As she said that, Qin Xiaohua brought the backpack in and placed it in a corner.

"Okay, leave it there, grandma will take a look at it later. Well, it's a little hot, you guys eat slowly." As she spoke, Yuan Fangcao had already quickly served three bowls of dumpling soup.

Qin Ming brought them over one by one, "It's a little hot, eat slowly."

"Hmm. Slurp~ Got it."

"Suck~~"

"After you finish eating, go back to the house and rest. We'll talk about it tomorrow." Yuan Fangcao packed up the things in the backpack and drove the three uncles who had finished eating out of the kitchen.

Qin Nuan was a little full after eating. Although she couldn't sleep, she went back to her room obediently, lying on the kang and counting sheep...

Because she went to bed late, Qin Nuan successfully woke up late.

Rubbing my sleepy eyes, I walked out of the house and said, "Grandma"

"Hey, Nuannuan is awake. Come and wash your face. Grandma will bring you breakfast."

"Grandma, where is my grandpa?" Qin Nuan asked while washing her face.

"Your grandpa has gone to work. Nuannuan wants to talk to him about something?"

"Hmm. Grandma, take a look at this. This is what my third brother and I found in a wooden house in the mountains over at the Lan family's side. People in the village also confirmed that they were arranged to go there."

When Yuan Fangcao heard this, she knew it must be a serious matter, so she wiped the water on her hands on her apron and took the note Qin Nuan handed over.

She quickly read it and then returned the note to Qin Nuan, "Nuan girl, you stay home and have breakfast. Grandma is going to the fields to look for your grandfather."

"Yeah, grandma, slow down."

"Grandma knows."

Yuan Fangcao felt a little anxious. If what was written was true, would there be some secret agents in their village as well?

No!

My granddaughter is still young, and I can't let her appear in the sight of those people in Kyoto.

Quickly finding Qin Dashu, Yuan Fangcao whispered the story in his ear, and then looked at him nervously, "Don't let anyone know that Nuan has superpowers. I'm afraid we can't protect her..."

"This is a big deal. You go home and look after the kids first. I'll go find Brother Dashan, and then we'll go find the old men together."

"Ah."

When Yuan Fangcao returned home, Qin Nuan had already eaten and washed the dishes. At this moment, she was sitting under the eaves, drawing on the ground with a branch...

"Don't worry, Nuan girl. Grandpa and grandma are here to protect you."

Feeling the love from grandma's heart, Qin Nuan smiled slightly, "Yeah, with grandpa and grandma here, Nuan Nuan doesn't have to worry."

"You've walked such a long way, why don't you take a break?"

"No. Grandma, did anything happen in the village during the few days we were away?"

"Well, something happened, but it's all resolved. Come on, let's go pull the weeds in the vegetable patch in the backyard."

"it is good."

While pulling out the weeds, Yuan Fangcao told Qin Nuan what had happened in the past few days. Qin Nuan couldn't help but be amazed, "Grandma, this ninja's ability is not so weak, there must be something else going on here."

"Yes, your grandfather said the same thing. So, during the day, we go to work, and at night, the young men in the village take turns patrolling the village."

Qin Nuan nodded in agreement, and then began to think about when to take out some of the meat from the backpack...

The main hall of Qin Tieniu's house.

"Uncle, uncle, uncle, uncle, and uncle Nuan came back last night. But this morning, Nuan told me something."

Looking at the serious Qin Dashu, except for Qin Dashan who already knew about the matter, the other four old men felt a pang in their hearts, instinctively knowing that it was definitely not a good thing.

"The brother and sister found a wooden house in a mountain near the Lan family village and found a letter inside. It said they wanted to get the secrets of our Qin and Lan families. There was also a map with the residences of our Qin and Lan families marked, and some places were marked."

Qin Dashu finished speaking in one breath, then looked at the four old men with a frown.
