There were three mule carts when we came, and one more when we left.

The secret guards purchased a lot of food and were afraid that three carts would not be able to hold it all. When they saw someone selling mules at a low price, they decided to buy two mules and a cart.

After leaving the city, it gradually darkened.

The secret guard took out a torch, lit it, and drove quickly up the mountain.

After a tiring day of running around, Qian Wu didn't care about the bumpy road. Not long after leaving the city, she leaned against Lin Yinan and slowly fell asleep.

It was almost midnight when we were about to reach the foot of Chi'an Mountain.

When the mule cart was about to turn into the path leading to Chi'an, it almost collided with several horses running towards it. Fortunately, the rider was an excellent horseman and controlled the horses in time.

The galloping horse was stopped and snorted in dissatisfaction, and the clear and mellow voice of the person on the horse was heard.

"Anan, is that you?"

In the darkness, Lin Yinan saw a pair of dark eyes like twinkling stars in the night sky. It was Yun Mo who came to pick her up.

"It's me." There was a hint of tenderness in Lin Yinan's cold voice.

Yun Mo rode forward, and the man and the horse soon appeared in the range of their torches, followed by two secret guards.

"master."

Yun Shiyi and the other secret guards got out of the car and bowed to him.

Yun Mo nodded slightly at them, his eyes fixed on Lin Yinan on the mule cart.

"Something happened on the road?"

"There was a little incident, but luckily everyone is fine."

"Let's talk about it when we get back."

Qianwu was awakened by the voices. She opened her confused eyes and asked, "Madam, are we home?"

"It will take a while, you can continue sleeping." Lin Yinan said softly.

After seeing Yun Mo on the horse in front clearly, Qian Wu jumped off the mule cart.

"My son-in-law is here to pick up my wife. I just happened to want to go riding."

Seeing how understanding she was, Yun Mo curled his lips slightly and swiftly got off the horse.

Qian Wu rode on Yun Mo's horse and walked at the front of the team with the secret guards.

Yun Shiyi also tactfully handed the whip to Yun Mo, then turned around and got on the mule cart behind.

"Is Eleven a good kid today?" Lin Yinan asked in a low voice, looking at his profile as he drove the car seriously.

"When you were not here, they made a fuss at noon and at night when they were about to go to bed. It took Chixia a long time to comfort them until they calmed down."

Ever since the last incident, Yun Shijiu has been particularly clingy to her. It’s okay for them to go out and have fun during the day, but he must see her when he is on his own.

Lin Yinan's eyes showed deep worry, and Yun Mo comforted her: "Don't worry, Nineteen only cried for a short while, you will be able to see her when you go back."

Half an hour later, everyone returned to the mountain village. Lin Shuo and Zhao Mang led a number of villagers to guard the entrance of the village.

It was late at night, and Lin Yinan did not let them unload the things on the mule cart. He asked them to go back and rest first and come back to deal with it early the next morning.

The chickadee was carrying the already asleep chickadee on its back. In the light of the fire, Lin Yinan could still see her red and swollen face.

"Mother Shanque, why don't you ask Doctor Guo to find some herbs to apply to Shanque."

Shanque looked tired and said respectfully, "It's not a big problem. Doctor Guo and Shanque are both asleep. Let's see tomorrow. It's been a tiring day. City Lord Lin, go back and rest early. Nineteen will miss you."

"If you have any problem, come to me in time."

Zhao Mang listened to the conversation between the two and took a closer look at his daughter, but found nothing wrong.

When he got home and waited for the titmouse to put down the sleeping titmouse, he held up the oil lamp and took a closer look, and was immediately shocked.

"Mountain Tit Mother, what happened to Mountain Tit's face? Was he beaten?"

The titmouse left its mother's back and rolled around on the bed restlessly, muttering something and kicking its hands and feet in fear from time to time.

"I'll go out for a while and come back to talk to you."

After driving away the mosquitoes and lowering the screen, Shanque Niang went to the kitchen, grabbed a handful of rice, lit three incense sticks, and hurried out the door.

She hurried to the gate of the village and saw that Shi Tu Niang was faster than her. They understood each other tacitly, and Shi Tu Niang handed her the unextinguished fire starter.

The tit lit the incense, then took out a handful of rice from his pocket and threw it into the air, shouting, "The tit is back!"

As soon as she stopped, Shi Tu Niang also threw a handful of rice into the air, shouting, "Shi Tu is back home!"

The two men walked home, scattering rice and shouting. When they reached the door of their house, they scatter the last handful of rice and then stick the unburned incense in front of the door.

The tit clasped the soil in its hands and murmured, "The tit is going home with its mother!"

Seeing his wife coming back, Zhao Mang hurried out from the inner room.

Shanque's mother hurriedly asked, "Her father, how is Shanque?"

"It's safe! You've been tired all day, you should wash up first."

The titmouse lady finally felt relieved.

After washing up, Shanque Niang saw that her husband was still waiting for her. Although she was tired after a whole day, she was not sleepy at all. She simply told her husband what happened in Changyi County today.

"It's all thanks to City Lord Lin, otherwise we wouldn't be able to find our Shantiao back!" After releasing the emotions in her heart, Shantiao Niang relaxed a lot.

She couldn't bear to think that if she couldn't find the tit, she would not be able to survive.

Zhao Mang pulled his old wife to sit beside the bed and comforted her, "We still have some bacon stored at home. I will take it to City Lord Lin tomorrow morning. Today's incident is really thanks to her presence."

"Just the bacon is not enough. You can also take the mushrooms I dried this year, and the dried vegetables I dried..."

After relaxing, Shanque Niang felt sleepy and fell asleep leaning on Zhaomang's shoulder.

On the other side, Lin Yinan went back to wash and change clothes in time.

She spent a lot of time in the dungeon during the day, and she didn't dare to be careless in such a harsh environment, fearing that there might be bacteria inside.

When she came out of the shower, Yun Moyi came in from outside after washing up, still damp with moisture on his body.

He picked up the cloth and helped Lin Yinan wipe his hair. "I have heard what Eleven said about today's incident. I will take you out later."

Lin Yinan said: "It's not like this happens every time."

"Even in the past, such things happened quite frequently in the prosperous Shangjing," Yun Mo said seriously.

"Yun Shiyi was rescued by you under such circumstances?"

"No, he was frightened and choked. The traffickers thought he was dead and threw him into a mass grave. I found him at the mass grave, but his brother was dismembered alive. After I saved him, he killed all the enemies who framed his brothers, and then he voluntarily gave up his name and vowed to follow me for the rest of his life."

Combined with Yun Shiyi’s reaction today, everything makes sense.

Yun Mo said that every secret guard of the Yun family had a shameful past, but Lin Yinan did not intend to dig deeper.

Since it has become the past, let it be the past forever. Every time it is mentioned, the healed scar will be torn open again with blood.

It is enough to experience the pain once; there is no need to bring it up again and again to torture yourself.

The next morning, the sun rose and the crowing of the few roosters in the village echoed throughout the village.

At the first crow of the rooster, Yun Mo was already out the door.

Yun Shijiu, who was used to getting up early, woke up. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Lin Yinan's sleeping face and turned over and sat up quickly.

With his mouth full of tears, he ran towards her face and gave her a wet kiss.

Seeing that she was still sleeping and showed no sign of waking up, Yun Shijiu leaned over and lay on Lin Yinan's chest, patting her mouth and lifting her eyelids with his little hands from time to time.
