"Hahaha, when have I, Scarface, ever been afraid of the Thousand Rocks Army? Half a month ago, I slaughtered a few of their rookies, and they haven't been able to do anything to me until now."

"Hand over all your valuables and I'll let you go!"

Scarface was very impatient. While speaking, he winked at his two brothers and quietly surrounded Nan Dou and Hu Tao.

After realizing that they were facing a vicious thug, Nandou immediately shouted to Kurumi, "Send a distress signal!"

Hu Tao immediately obediently took out a flare from the pocket hanging on the side of the horse and fired it, while Nan Dou drove the BMW seriously, trying to escape from the gap between the three people.

"Humph, trying to escape? Catch them!"

"Chiyun, charge over!"

Nan Dou shouted the horse's name, and the two of them and the horse rushed out of the encirclement of three people like the wind.

"Success..."

"Shh!"

"Got you, little one!"

Nan Dou's joyful cheers came to an abrupt end, interrupted by a rope around Chi Yun's neck.

The next moment, a huge force came, and Chi Yun, who was running, was pulled to a stop.

"Drip, drip~~"

As Chi Yun screamed, Nan Dou and Hu Tao were pulled and fell to the ground.

Nan Dou used his body as a cushion for Kurumi and grimaced in pain, but he remained calm.

He did not forget what Xiao had promised him just now. As long as he called Xiao's name, all problems would be solved.

Immersed in the joy of impending success, the three scarface brothers were unaware of the coming danger.

However, before Nan Dou could speak, something unexpected happened.

"Let's see who dares to touch them!"

"Hmm? What are you..."

"Oh!"

A nimble and sturdy figure came running from a distance, leaped up at an extremely fast speed, and knocked down one of the three brothers of the treasure-stealing group on horseback.

"Brother, you're a tough guy!"

"Draw the knife!"

Scarface looked fierce as he pulled out a machete from the bag on his horse.

"The cook of Wangshu Inn? If you dare to ruin the good deeds of my three brothers, I will not forgive you!"

Scarface jumped high from his horse and swung his sword down heavily, aiming at Yanxiao's head.

"Such a fierce murderous aura, it seems that your hands are not clean."

"Qiang!"

As he spoke, Yan Xiao reached his hand behind his waist, a dazzling flash of knife light appeared, and he actually used a kitchen knife to block the scarred man's attack.

"Haha, you are much tougher to kill than those Thousand Rocks soldiers. With such strength, why are you willing to be a cook in a small inn?"

Scarface's mouth didn't stop, and his hands didn't stop either. A machete with blood still on it danced out a phantom.

"A murder case on hand?"

"That's great. I don't have to hold back."

No one knew what material the kitchen knife in Yan Xiao's hand was made of. It collided with Scarface's machete many times without leaving any marks.

next moment.

Yan Xiao's sturdy body turned into a shadow in an instant. Under the sunlight, a dazzling knife light flashed across the scarred man's body.

"Pfft!"

Scarface didn't even have a chance to leave any last words, Yan Xiao stabbed him in the throat and ended his life.

"Big Brother!!"

The other two brothers who saw this scene rushed towards Yan Xiao together, but their outcomes were no different.

"Hu Walnut, don't look!"

Nan Dou hugged Kurumi tightly in his arms, but he opened his eyes wide and faced the cruel side of this world for the first time.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Hu Tao, who didn't understand what was going on, felt Nan Dou's body trembling and tried to struggle out of Nan Dou's arms.

"No...it's okay, Kurumi, just wait a little longer."

Nan Dou did not choose to look away, but stared straight at the scarred man who died with his eyes open. Blood spurted out of his neck like a fountain, and warm blood foam kept coming out of his mouth.

In the Hall of Rebirth, Nan Dou had seen many dead people and thought that he was strong enough inside.

But when several real lives were lost before his eyes, feelings of fear and disgust welled up in his heart uncontrollably.

After Yan Xiao dealt with the remaining two people, he realized that there were children at the scene. He immediately walked in front of Nan Dou to block his view.

A few minutes later, the Qianyan Army who were guarding the Guiliyuan Pass arrived and took several people away for interrogation.

Nan Dou and Hu Tao naturally had no trouble. After they revealed their identities as members of the Wangsheng Hall and explained the whole story, they were taken back to Liyue Harbor by a young Qianyan soldier.

Yan Xiao was fine, and was even rewarded.

According to the investigation, these three treasure-stealing groups attacked the patrolling Qianyan Army half a month ago and brutally killed them. Now the murderer has finally been found.

The so-called treasure-stealing gangs do not just steal, dig up and resell cultural relics. There are also many bad ones who kill and rob.

At dusk, Nan Dou and Hu Tao finally returned to Liyue Harbor under the escort of the Thousand Rock Army.

"Uncle Qianyanjun, thank you for sending us back."

"Goodbye Uncle Qianyanjun!"

Nan Dou and the other man waved goodbye to the Qianyan Army as they prepared to leave.

"It's my duty, and it's my duty!"

The young Qianyanjun saluted the two men very seriously, and then instructed them with a gentle smile:

"Little boy, don't sneak out again. It's too dangerous."

"That must be your family member, go back quickly and don't let him worry."

Hearing this, the two turned around and saw their grandfather standing on the other side of the bridge waiting with a worried look on his face.

"It's over. Grandpa found out and I'm going to be scolded."

"I'll go apologize to grandpa, and he will forgive us."

Nan Dou held Hu Tao in one hand and the horse in the other, and walked towards his grandfather with some trepidation in his heart.

When Hall Master Hu saw the two men, he couldn't help but become excited and walked quickly to their side.

Master Hu's sturdy body stood in front of the two of them like a wall, causing Nan Dou to lower his head subconsciously.

next moment……

A pair of warm and strong arms held the two tightly in their arms, and Master Hu's choked voice reached their ears:

"Grandpa is very worried about you..."

It was the first time in their lives that Nan Dou and Hu Tao heard their grandfather's nervous and worried voice, and they were a little at a loss for a moment.

"grandfather……"

But grandpa did not blame them afterwards. After he calmed down, he carried the two men onto the horse and led the horse towards the Hall of Rebirth.

"As long as you come back safely, let's go home."

On the hillside far away, a figure saw Nan Dou and Hu Tao return home safely and then quietly left.

That night, the entire Wangsheng Hall celebrated Nan Dou and Hu Tao’s birthdays.

At the birthday party, Nan Dou realized it when he saw his grandfather's white hair and hunched body.

After her father passed away, it was not just Hu Tao who was affected. How could the grief of seeing a loved one die easily?

The grandfather, who also has the ability to see ghosts, must feel even more miserable every time he sees his son and daughter-in-law guarding Walnut.

It was also from then on that Nan Dou and Hu Tao never left Liyue Harbor alone again.

Only Nan Dou knew that Grandpa only had seven years left to live.
