Upon hearing that his sister was going to Beijing to look for someone, Uncle Cui sighed and discussed with the old lady about accompanying her to Beijing.

The old lady had no objection, and neither did the two cousins ​​of the Cui family. The ones who had objections were Yuxiu and Cui.

With them around, Yuxiu can't use the magic weapon given by her master, and it will cause a lot of inconvenience.

But the Cui family didn't know this and insisted on going to Beijing together. In the end, Yuxiu had no choice but to walk into the yard, bend down, stretch out her hands, and pick up the stone table, which scared the Cui family members.

Also frightened was the bearded man who pushed the door open. He stood at the door with a shocked look on his face, holding some daily necessities in both hands, and several soldiers behind him were holding bedding, clothes and other things.

"Xiu girl, you, you..."

Old Mrs. Cui was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth for a long time. She pointed at Yuxiu and said "you" several times but couldn't say anything.

"Put it down now."

Seeing Yuxiu still walking around the yard holding the stone table, and the bearded man at the door's mouth big enough to fit an egg, Uncle Cui quickly winked at her.

This girl really is not to be judged by appearance. I've never heard that she has such great strength before.

"Haha, I'm sorry to make you laugh. Children are ignorant and you don't have to bother with them."

Uncle Cui welcomed the bearded man into the house. The bearded man also reacted at this time and directed the soldiers to take the things in their hands into the main room and put them away.

"You are so brave, young lady. I, Lin, am one of the strongest men in Phoenix City. Even if I were to hold this stone table, I would not be as relaxed as you."

He said this with a look of admiration on his face, and then introduced himself to a few people. His surname was Lin and his given name was Lin Dazhuang. He was now a lieutenant general under the city lord. If there was anything in the future, they could just go to the city gate to find him, and he would definitely help if he could.

Yuxiu guessed that these were the instructions from the city lord, so she smiled and thanked him. Uncle Cui then sent the person out with a very complicated expression on his face.

"We are going to Beijing to look for someone, and this house is empty anyway. Why don't you bring my cousin and grandma to live here? It can also help us protect this family business."

Yuxiu reached out and took the stack of banknotes, flipped through them and saw that there were indeed one thousand taels, so she took out five and handed them to Uncle Cui.

"This is my niece's gift to you. I'll use it to buy some food and other things for the family. When we have established ourselves in the capital, I will send you a letter whether we can find my father or not."

Yuxiu was deeply moved by the fact that the Cui family dared to leave the village team in such a world just to go back and look for her and her daughter.

Let alone giving them five hundred taels, Yuxiu would have no objection even if we gave them all one thousand taels.

"I appreciate your filial piety, uncle. It's not easy to get to Beijing. You should bring some money with you for your journey..."

Uncle Cui wanted to refuse, but Yuxiu quickly waved her hand to signal him to stop talking. Then she took out a cloth bag from her backpack, which contained some loose silver, and handed it to Grandma Cui.

"Grandma, take these pocket money and buy whatever you like. Just think of it as me and my mother honoring you."

Old Mrs. Cui didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and kept waving her hands to ask her to take it back.

"How old are you, Xiu girl? Where did you get all this money? You can carry it yourself. There are many other places where you will need money on the road."

Cui tried to persuade the old lady to accept the money, but was scolded by her own mother instead.

"From now on, you should learn from Xiu girl. Don't cry when you encounter problems. Be the support of your children..."

Cui nodded. She wanted to cry but held it back. The key point was that she herself didn't know what was going on. In the past, Old Lady Qin would scold her for no reason. Sometimes she would even hit her with a broom when she was not satisfied. Even if she felt uncomfortable, she would endure it silently. It was not like these few days when she wanted to cry for no reason.

She didn't want to cry, but she really couldn't help it...

Afraid that they were still worried about her, Yuxiu simply took out the bow and arrow from the basket, bent the bow and shot the arrow in one go. There was a "clatter" sound, and a flapping bird fell from the sky into the yard. A feather arrow pierced the bird's body very accurately.

"This, you..."

Uncle Cui was so shocked that he stuttered several times before saying:

"You didn't even aim, how did you shoot it down?"

The two cousins ​​of the Cui family came forward and picked up the bird, looking at Yuxiu with sparkling eyes.

It turned out that their little cousin who used to be very timid was actually hiding her abilities and secretly had such good archery skills.

"I have already aimed at it. Even if it has wings, it can't escape from my grasp."

Yuxiu made a very exaggerated gesture, which made everyone laugh.

"In fact, I have had a mysterious master teaching me secretly these years, but he doesn't allow me to tell anyone about it. I just don't tell anyone and practice secretly on weekdays."

Yuxiu's two tricks had completely shocked the Cui family. No one objected to her bringing Cui to Beijing anymore. They decided to help buy some things and arrange a carriage for the journey, so as to find Xu Qinghe as soon as possible.

It was almost dark now, and even if we were in a hurry, we had to wait until tomorrow to travel. So everyone packed up casually and went to the street together to buy what they needed.

Not only will Yuxiu and Cui need them on the road tomorrow, but they also need to buy some daily necessities for the Cui family.

Although there are many disaster victims outside, Phoenix City is still very lively.

Although it was almost dark, the shops on both sides of the street were still open.

A few people went into the garment shop first, picked and chose and bought several sets of clothes for each of them. Old Mrs. Cui wanted to make shoes and socks herself, so Yuxiu simply bought them as well. She asked Uncle Cui and her two cousins ​​to send the things back so they didn't need to come over, and went directly to the grain shop to buy some grain.

Yuxiu Cui and Old Lady Cui went to the clinic mentioned by the city lord, one to examine Cui, and the other to inquire about the patient in Prince Ning's mansion that day.

After coming out of the clinic, the three women, young and old, were silent. Even when they got all the way back home, none of them reacted.

The two pieces of news were so shocking that Yuxiu didn't know what to say.

One was a wounded soldier sent from Prince Ning's Mansion. He was not seriously injured, but his brain was damaged and he had forgotten who he was.

Another thing is that Cui was not feeling well these days because she was tired, but because she was pregnant. She had been pregnant for nearly three months, but her menstruation was irregular and she often missed several months. She was also so thin that it was completely invisible, so no one noticed.
