The next morning, when it was still slightly foggy, Li Anquan woke up early.

Without saying a word, he carefully put the daily necessities for both of them into the package, and then gently woke up He Yushui who was still sleeping.

"Rainwater, wake up, we have to hurry."

He Yushui slowly opened his eyes from his sleep, nodded drowsily, then quickly got up and began to pack his things.

They didn't have much stuff, so they packed it all up quickly, with each person carrying a small bag.

At this moment, the two stood side by side in front of the temple gate. Li Anquan looked solemn and said to He Yushui in a deep voice:

"Yushui, from now on, I will no longer be called Li Anquan. I have to change my identity to face a new life."

"From now on, I am Wang Jianguo. You must not call me the wrong name and tell others that you are my cousin."

"Only when I have enough strength to fight against those who have hurt me, can I become Li Anquan again."

"So, you must keep this matter a secret for me and never let anyone else know my true identity."

"If it gets leaked, you and I will probably be in extreme danger, and even our lives will be in danger."

He Yushui also nodded solemnly.

"Don't worry, An...Brother Jianguo, I won't tell anyone."

Her eyes were firm and clear, revealing a reassuring sincerity. Li Anquan looked at her, and his tense expression relaxed a little.

“Rainwater, this journey may be difficult, but as long as we support each other, we will get through it.”

Li Anquan's voice was a little vicissitudes, but full of expectations for the future.

He Yushui tightly grasped the strap of the bundle, bit her lip and said:

"Brother Jianguo, no matter what, I will follow you."

Li Anquan smiled warmly, ruffled He Yushui's hair and said:

"Let's go."

He Yushui nodded obediently, and suddenly, as if something had dawned on him, he remembered something and hurriedly asked Li Anquan.

"Brother Jianguo, shouldn't you inform Sister Yu Li and Haitang? Where did they go?"

"When you were unconscious, I was extremely worried and wanted to find them for help, but I couldn't find anyone."

When Li Anquan heard He Yushui's doubts, he pondered for a moment and felt that it was time to tell He Yushui.

So I tried to use the system to test He Yushui's loyalty.

[He Yushui, loyalty 96, suitable for living in space. ]

Seeing He Yushui's loyalty, Li Anquan told He Yushui without reservation that he had a space and the ability to disguise himself.

He Yushui seemed to be under a spell, his mouth opened wide enough to fit an egg, his face full of disbelief, as if time had frozen at this moment.

Seeing He Yushui standing there in a daze, Li Anquan did not say much, but carefully selected a mask from the system.

When the mask appeared out of thin air in Li Anquan's hands as if by magic, He Yushui was so surprised that his jaw almost dropped to the ground, and he quickly covered his mouth with his hands.

Li Anquan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a mysterious smile, and said softly:

"Let's go, change your skin and travel, so that others won't see your true identity."

After saying that, he held He Yushui's hand tightly, strode out of the temple, and started this journey full of unknowns together.

The two of them went on a journey hand in hand. When they left the city.

Li Anquan noticed an ox cart carrying firewood slowly approaching, and he quickly reached out to stop it.

Afterwards, Li Anquan took out the letter of recommendation given by Zhang Ming from his arms. When his eyes fell on the letter, he found that the column for the village was blank.

A warm feeling suddenly surged in Li Anquan's heart, and he instantly understood Zhang Ming's good intentions.

This blank space was clearly left for him to fill in by himself. This would not only eliminate Li Anquan's concerns, but also ensure that no one would know his final whereabouts.

Li Anquan carefully put the letter away again, and then said to the old man driving the cart with a sincere face:

"Grandpa, can we borrow your car? We are planning to go to Tianjin, could you give us a ride?"

After listening to Li Anquan's request, the driver nodded slightly and said:

"Of course I can, but I have to take the firewood home first. My wife is waiting to use it to cook."

After that, Grandpa smiled and added:

"You two should come home with me and have dinner before leaving."

When He Yushui heard what his grandfather said, he waved his hands eagerly and explained:

"Grandpa, no, we are not..."

Unfortunately, the old man didn't seem to listen to He Yushui's explanation. He just laughed twice loudly and continued to drive the donkey cart forward.

Not long after, they arrived at the old man's house.

I saw the old lady standing quietly at the door, looking out with anticipation in her eyes.

After the grandfather got off the bus, the grandmother couldn't help but complain:

"You old man, what took you so long to come back? Don't you know there's no firewood at home?"

The old man quickly jumped out of the car, with a smile on his face, and patiently explained to the old lady:

"I met two little kids on the road today, so I brought them back. After lunch, I'll take them to Tianjin."

After hearing the grandfather's explanation, the old lady looked behind the car and saw Li Anquan and He Yushui.

Grandma showed an embarrassed smile on her face and said gently:

"What a pretty doll! Come in and have a drink of water first."

As she spoke, grandma skillfully helped grandpa unload the firewood.

Seeing this, Li Anquan was very perceptive and hurried forward to help the two old men unload the firewood.

The old lady served Li Anquan and He Yushui a simple but homely meal.

They both enjoyed the meal with great relish and felt warm in their hearts.

After dinner, Li Anquan happened to see the piles of wood in the woodshed, and he understood instantly.

The old man is very old and no longer has the strength to chop wood, so he drives his cart to other places to look for firewood.

Li Anquan picked up the axe without hesitation and started chopping the wood seriously. After a while, the wooden stakes were turned into neat pieces of firewood.

He then moved the firewood into the firewood room and stacked it carefully. Grandpa and grandma were deeply moved by Li An's actions.

Grandma's eyes were moist and tears welled up. Li Anquan was full of doubts and asked:

"Grandma, I'm just chopping some wood, why are you crying?"

Grandma waved her hand and walked into the house silently. Li Anquan looked at grandpa in confusion.

The old man lit his pipe, slowly squatted aside, and prepared to tell the two a story from the past.

At this time, Li Anquan and He Yushui were looking forward to listening to the stories of that period.
