Chapter 787: He Wants to Harm You
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Although Liu Erlang’s life was not in danger, he was in dire need of help.
Madam Wei nodded. Liu Erlang did not return home. She was so frightened that her entire body went limp. After hearing what Liu Sanniang said, she was relieved. However, without seeing him in person, she would never be at ease.
She couldn’t bear to see her daughter leave when it was almost the new year, but there was nothing she could do.
Liu Dalang returned very quickly and said, “Chu Yan and General Black have entered the capital to receive the reward. They won’t be back for the time being.”
The last group of soldiers had all gone home. Madam Wei was relieved that Chu Yan and General Black entered the capital.
At the same time, Madam Wei wanted Liu Dalang to go with Liu Sanniang so that they could take care of each other. However, Tang An was pregnant and had missed Liu Dalang for so long, so Madam Wei could not bring herself to ask.
Liu Dalang knew what Madam Wei was worried about. He continued, “Mother, 1’11 go with Sanniang. I’ll definitely find Erlang and bring him home.”
Madam Wei looked at Liu Dalang. “An is pregnant. You haven’t seen each other for so long.”
Madam Wei was worried about letting Liu Sanniang go alone, but she did not want Liu Dalang and his wife to be separated again.
Tang An entered the house with a big stomach and walked to Liu Dalang’s side. She said to Madam Wei, “Mother, I’ve already packed Dalang’s clothes.”
Tang An’s expression was gentle. Madam Wei looked at her in surprise and her eyes quickly turned red.
Liu Dalang reached out and hugged Tang An’s shoulder. “Sanniang and 1 will be back as soon as possible. I’m sorry that I have to leave you again.”
Tang An shook her head. “It’s ok.”
Madam Wei was extremely touched. She didn’t say it, but she remembered it deeply.
Lin Jie said calmly, “Uncle, you don’t have to go. I’ll go with my shifu.”
Madam Wei looked at Lin Jie and couldn’t bear to let a kid go out in this cold winter. “It’s so cold. Why are you going? Stay at home.”
Lin Jie looked at Madam Wei and said seriously, “I’m not a good person. 1 want to make up for mistakes.”
Upon hearing that, Madam Wei was stunned. Lin Jie looked at Madam Wei and could not help but think that if he was a bad child, he would probably not be liked.
Madam Wei came back to her senses. “Jie, you’re still a child. What happened in the past is in the past. In the future, with me around, no one can hurt you.”
Lin Jie lowered his eyes. “I’m not an ordinary child.”
After saying that, Lin Jie turned around and left.
Hu Yu and Liu Yuanyuan were left at home.
Hu Yu was throwing a tantrum. “Why can’t I go? Venerable doesn’t dote on me anymore.”
Liu Yuanyuan pulled Hu Yu and said to Liu Sanniang, “Venerable, be careful on the way. With Hu Yu and me around, you don’t have to worry about your family.”
If Liu Sanniang did not want them to go, she had her reasons. They just had to be obedient.
Hu Yu looked at Liu Sanniang aggrievedly. Her fox eyes were filled with tears and she looked extremely pitiful.
Liu Sanniang reached out and touched Hu Yu’s head. “Be good. I’ll only be at ease when you two are at home.”
Hu Yu lowered her head and stopped crying. “Venerable, don’t worry. 1’11 definitely guard the house well and wait for you to come back.”
Seeing that acting pitiful was not going to work, Hu Yu stopped pretending.
Liu Sanniang brought Lin Jie out.
As the new year approached, the road outside the town became even more deserted.
Liu Sanniang and Lin Jie traveled as fast as they could.
On the day of the new year, the two of them arrived at Qingping Town. Qingping Town was not big and was just a small town. The streets were very quiet and the doors were closed, but they could hear laughter coming from inside.
Lin Jie felt that it was undoubtedly difficult to find Liu Erlang. After so many days, who knew where Liu Erlang was now?
Lin Jie looked at Liu Sanniang and said, “Shifu, how should we find him?”
Lin Jie felt that Liu Sanniang must be extremely worried, but her expression did not change at all. She was very calm.
Liu Sanniang said calmly, “Let’s go to the government office.”
Her second brother had gone missing here, and the government office was in charge of this place. It was impossible for the general to stay and keep looking for Liu Erlang. Most likely, the general had informed the government office and asked them to continue looking for Liu Eralgn.
Liu Sanniang knocked on an inn. After asking around, she brought Lin Jie straight to the government office.
In Qingping Town, the person in charge of the government office was only a low-ranking official. However, he was in charge of a government office and was much richer than the other commoners.
On the dilapidated door plaque were the words “government office”.
At this moment, curses came from inside. Hearing the curses, Lin Jie frowned and looked at Liu Sanniang. It was probably not easy for Liu Sanniang to get the information she wanted.
Liu Sanniang knocked on the door and the cruses stopped. Soon, the door opened and a middle-aged woman looked at Lin Jie and Liu Sanniang in confusion. “Who are you looking for?”
Liu Sanniang looked at the woman. At first glance, she was shocked by the murderous aura on the woman’s face. There were finger marks on the woman’s cheek and the corner of her mouth was slightly swollen. She looked submissive, but there was a strong murderous aura.
Liu Sanniang looked at the house and said slowly, “A few days ago, my second brother, who returned home from the army, disappeared here. I’m here to look for my family.”
The woman looked at Liu Sanniang and moved aside. “Come in first.”
Liu Sanniang brought Lin Jie into the courtyard. Hearing the sound of the door closing, a man’s voice came from the main room. “Who is here?”
The woman said gently, “A girl is here to look for her family.”
The woman let Liu Sanniang and Lin Jie into the house and brought them to see the man. The man immediately sat up straight and looked at Liu Sanniang with a smile. “Miss, what’s your name? Where do you live? Who are you looking for?”
The man could not take his eyes off Liu Sanniang.
Lin Jie frowned and felt uncomfortable with that gaze.
However, Liu Sanniang’s expression was still calm as she said, “A few days ago, my second brother, Liu Erlang, returned home with the army and disappeared here. I’m here to look for him.”
The man was stunned for a moment before he remembered. “Oh, oh, oh. Then why aren’t your parents here? We haven’t found your second brother yet. After the army left, 1 also got people to look for him, but there’s no sign of him. It’s been so many days. I’m afraid it’ll be difficult to find him.”
The man sized up Liu Sanniang and Lin Jie and said enthusiastically, “It’s almost dark now. Settle down and rest for the night. We’ll look for him tomorrow morning.”
Before Liu Sanniang could speak, the man pulled the woman out.
Lin Jie frowned and said, “He wants to harm you..”
