After crossing, I surrounded the capital from the countryside

At the dinner table, Xu Ling formally announced that Xu Qingqing was going on a long trip.

Xu Yun was still a little worried, but he didn't object. After dinner, he just took Xu Qingqing aside and told her many things to pay attention to when going out, and told her to send him a message if she had any problems, and he would find a way.

At this time, Shen Nanshu, with a pair of red eyes, handed the bag he had packed for Xu Qingqing to Xu Qingqing.

Xu Qingqing took it, and her eyes became red as she looked at Shen Nanshu. She walked forward and hugged Shen Nanshu tightly.

When Xu Qingqing and Shen Nanshu separated, He Anran fell to his knees with a plop.

"Madam, please let me go out with Qingqing! It must be inconvenient for Qingqing to go out alone, so I can take care of her. I am willing to be a slave and take care of Qingqing, and I will risk my life to protect her all the way!"

For a moment, everyone was silent.

It was Fang Lian's small figure who broke the silence: "Then can I go?"

Fang Lian, who was only four years old, didn't understand anything yet. She just vaguely sensed that the atmosphere at the moment seemed a little wrong. Seeing Qingqing was about to go out, she wanted to go with her.

Shen Nanshu bent down and helped He Anran up from her kneeling position. He looked at the teenage girl with a complicated expression, "You... Anran, are you serious?"

Don't blame her for being selfish. If He Anran is really willing to sacrifice her life to protect her, it would be a great thing for her daughter, and as a mother, she cannot refuse.

"Madam, you have given An Ran a new life, not to mention that it was Qing Qing who extended an olive branch to me and saved me from the dire straits!

Anran will never be able to repay all these favors in her lifetime. So please just fulfill Anran's heart!" He Anran said firmly.

She really wanted to follow Qingqing to protect her and take care of her, even at the cost of her life!

He Anran looked determined and didn't seem to be lying.

Shen Nanshu was somewhat relieved. She said in a trembling voice, "Okay, good boy! Anran, Qingqing is in your hands..."

"Yes, ma'am. Please rest assured, An Ran will protect Qing Qing until her death!"

Xu Qingqing was a little confused when she saw this. She didn't think that her help to He Anran was enough for her to risk her life to protect him...

[Forget it, just think of it as taking An Ran out to see the world! ] Xu Qingqing thought.

I caught a glimpse of two figures appearing on the side of the path.

Xu Qingqing turned around and saw that the people coming were Xiao Yuheng and Wang Dahu, who were dressed in white and had indifferent expressions.

Seeing the Xu family standing at the door, Xiao Yuheng stepped forward and bowed to Xu Ling and Shen Nanshu and his wife: "Uncle, aunt, I am Xiao Yuheng, the junior, and I am honored to meet you."

Xu Ling and Shen Nanshu nodded in response.

After Xiao Yuheng finished his greeting, he raised his head and nodded to Xu Yun as a greeting.

Wang Dahu, who was standing by, almost couldn't control his expression when he saw this. "Is this still the Great Wizard they knew? Could he have been replaced at some point?"

Wang Dahu was still immersed in his thoughts when he received a glare from Xiao Yuheng.

Wang Dahu: !!! Hey! That’s right! It’s still his family’s Great Witch! That’s the taste!

Wang Dahu, who had come to his senses, also hurriedly saluted everyone.

"Brother Dahu is really a hidden talent." Xu Yun looked at Wang Dahu, who had a simple and honest face, and spoke indifferently.

Wang Dahu's expression froze, and he looked a little embarrassed: "I...I...hehe"

"Okay." Xu Ling said, letting the matter go. He then looked at Xiao Yuheng and said, "Mr. Xiao, are you going to set off immediately?"

"Yes, uncle, we should hurry up and leave as soon as possible."

Xu Ling rubbed his fingers together and said solemnly: "Okay, then I will leave Qingqing to you. I also ask Master Xiao to bring my daughter back safely. Please!"

Seeing Xu Ling's serious expression, Xiao Yuheng knew that this was a request from a father, so he said seriously, "I will definitely live up to your trust!"

"well……"

Just like that, He Anran packed some of her clothes and took Xu Qingqing's luggage.

Amid the reluctant exhortations of the crowd, Xu Qingqing and a few others set out on their journey out of the mountain.

At first, the few people did not encounter any refugees on the mountain road, but as they got closer to the path outside the mountain, more and more refugees came and went.

What happened along the way perfectly interpreted the word "cannibalism".

When food is extremely scarce, the evil in the refugees' nature seems to be aroused and reaches its extreme.

In a desolate land, a group of hungry people gathered together. They looked at the crowd passing by, their eyes gradually filled with madness and desire.

At some point, the last string that binds them will break, and they will scramble for scarce food resources, using all their strength to grab every bite of food. They will stop at nothing to satisfy their desires at the moment, turning themselves into irrational beasts at all costs until they completely lose their humanity.

It is true that the rich have wine and meat, while the poor freeze to death on the streets.

Xu Qingqing had initially tried to distribute food to the refugees, but when she showed a hint of compassion, the refugees swarmed over as if they had smelled the scent of food. Everyone's face was so greedy and ferocious, as if Xu Qingqing would become the food if she couldn't give her food.

To be honest, Xu Qingqing was also frightened at that moment.

In the end, it was Wang Dahu and Xiao Yuheng who protected her and He Anran behind them and brought them out of the encirclement of refugees safely.

But from that time on, Xu Qingqing became a little silent.

……

"Don't think about it." A piece of dried meat was handed to him.

Xu Qingqing took the piece of dried meat and just looked at it in front of her eyes. An idea gradually emerged in her mind.

Suddenly, a pair of hands pinched the soft flesh of Xu Qingqing's cheeks with enough force that she felt a little pain and her cheeks turned slightly red.

Xu Qingqing slapped Xiao Yuheng's hand, her eyes filled with tears, and she said angrily, "What are you doing!"

Xiao Yuheng's hand was patted down, and he just twisted his fingers lightly, as if he was savoring the tenderness and softness just now: "Are you awake?"

"Huh?" Xu Qingqing was a little confused.

Xiao Yuheng's tone was indifferent and serious, as if to assure: "Don't be afraid."

He turned and looked into Xu Qingqing's eyes: "Do what you want, I'm here for everything! Trust me!"

As they looked at each other like this, Xu Qingqing felt a little moved.

It seems as if I have traveled through time to the present, and everyone around me is very kind to me. They let me grow freely and unrestrainedly, and never complain about the trouble and disaster I have brought to them. They will only stay with me forever and help me clean up the mess.

They perfectly did what they said: "Don't be afraid, Qingqing, we are always behind you!"

Thinking of this, Xiao Yuheng's figure seemed to gradually blend into the group of people.

Suddenly, Xu Qingqing seemed to draw courage from these figures. She nodded heavily: "Yes, I understand! I won't give up!"

“Even if one’s power is tiny, one should try to change the world. I believe that even a small plankton can shake a tree!”

"Xiao Yuheng."

"Hmm?" Xiao Yuheng raised his eyes.

"Thank you!"

In the breeze, a big and a small, they looked at each other, a beautiful scene.

"Stop, stop! Fight, fight, rob!" A stuttering robbery voice was heard.
