Chapter Fifty-six: Encountering the Military Lord
That's such a coincidence.
Having a pillow when she is dozing off is Song Shu's current state.
Not to mention waiting until after dinner, she would not be in a hurry even if she left tomorrow.
There is a companion by her side, and she is not easy to mess with at first glance, so the people who measure Song Chunlan don't dare to do anything.
After a short chat, Song Shu found out that the man's name was Song Wu, and she and she were still members of the same family. However, his wife died a few months ago, and she and Yin Yin were living together.
In order to express her gratitude to this man, Song Shu simply took care of the meal for both of them.
Song Wu was a rough man, and he had to make do with his meals on weekdays. It didn't matter to him, but he just felt sorry for Yin Yin. However, Yin Yin was really sensible and never said anything. But today, after eating the food cooked by Song Shu, she obviously felt that she had eaten too much.
A little more than usual.
Yinyin was a little embarrassed and looked at Song Wu: "Dad, Yinyin didn't eat anything in the morning, so she ate too much."
Listening to this, Song Wu felt even more guilty in his eyes.
He suppressed his heartache and said: "Daddy knows, you have to be better when we are with this girl later, you know?"
Yinyin nodded, her smile as bright as a flower, and she leaned on Song Shu's lap.
"Auntie, can you hold Yin Yin for a while?"
The child's prayer was so simple, and there was no reason for Song Shu to refuse. After eating, drinking, and packing, they boarded the oxcart to Xiao Songzhuang, and Yin Yin nestled in her arms.
The sound of breathing enjoyment made Song Shu's heart surge.
After an unknown amount of time, Yinyin fell asleep in her arms. Song Shu held onto Yinyin tightly for fear of freezing the child.
The little person in her arms felt her movements and murmured.
"Mom, Yin Yin misses you so much. You finally came to see Yin Yin."
Hearing this, Song Shu felt even worse. She was not a mother yet. If Yin Yin were her child, she would really not be able to bear it.
The ox-cart is indeed not as fast as the horse-drawn carriage. It is dark and they have not reached Xiaosongzhuang yet, but it is not far away.
At this moment, Yinyin also woke up.
"Auntie, have we arrived at my mother's house?"
Hearing this, Song Shu looked at the almost invisible light in the distance and sighed softly: "We're almost there, Yin Yin, just wait."
After taking a nap, the little guy was extremely excited now, but he never escaped from Song Shu's arms and looked around eagerly.
It's dark, but has a bit of an unusual meaning.
On a quiet night, the trees nearby were rustled by the cold wind, which sounded inexplicably scary.
Song Shu adhered to the thought of strange power and chaos, and tried hard to restrain herself from being afraid. Unexpectedly, the little man in her arms was very keen and noticed her emotions.
"Aunt, Yin Yin is afraid. Aunt, can you hug Yin Yin tightly?"
This soft and waxy voice begged, Song Shu could not say no, and immediately hugged the little guy tightly, which gave herself a little more comfort.
"Yin Yin is not afraid. Your aunt is here and she will protect you."
"I believe aunt!"
Such a pure look made Song Shu feel confused. No matter how scared she was now, she had to pretend!
But not only that, the sounds in the surrounding woods were louder, and it didn't sound like the wind blowing leaves.
Could it be that there are bandits in this forest?
Song Shu's heart skipped a beat and she quickly looked at Song Wu: "Brother Song, there's something wrong with both sides."
Song Wu also noticed it early in the morning. He knew that the world was not peaceful recently, and many bandits were running rampant. If they really encountered bandits, they would be in trouble.
He was not afraid of anyone, but there was a woman and child behind him.
Song Wu frowned: "Girl, no matter what happens later, I hope you can protect Yin Yin."
Song Shu could hear these words. Song Wu wanted her to take Yin Yin and run away directly.
But in this huge mountain forest, where could she run with her child? Moreover, Yin Yin already has no mother, so why should she be left without a father?
Song Shu put it down and retorted: "Brother Song, please take Yin Yin away now. We are almost at Xiao Songzhuang. We have to make Yin Yin get her wish, right?"
"But……"
"It's nothing to worry about. I'm fine by myself. I can hide. I think you're good at it too. It's not a problem to run away with Yin Yin. If you delay any longer, I'm afraid no one will be afraid of you."
Song Shu doesn't think she's that great, so she let Song Wu run away after careful consideration.
If she took Yin Yin with her, she would be seeking death. Besides, it would be easier for her to stay hidden by herself so as not to be discovered by the bandits.
Song Wuben wanted to say something else, but looking at Yin Yin's watery eyes, he picked up the child.
"Girl, I will find a way to come back."
With that said, Song Wu was about to leave, but he didn't expect the people in the forest to move faster. A group of people immediately surrounded them and trapped them in place.
Song Shu felt bad in her heart.
If I had known this earlier, I shouldn't have talked so much nonsense just now. No one can run away now.
"I didn't expect that there are still people outside at this time, a family of three?"
Someone said something, and Song Shu followed the sound and felt that this person had an indescribable sense of familiarity.
"I thought it was bandits, but I didn't expect that the whole family has packed up their things."
As she spoke, Song Shu's heart suddenly froze.
What...what is this? Aren't these people bandits?
Seeing the other party lighting up the torch, Song Shu saw the armor on their bodies, which turned out to be soldiers guarding nearby.
This night was really scary, she thought she was going to die.
"Master Jun, we are returning to Xiaosongzhuang. Could you please make it easier for us?" Song Shu asked.
The man who spoke just now nodded and said, "Don't go out and about casually at this time. The bandits are making a lot of noise in the new year. It's a good thing that you encountered us on patrol, otherwise you would have been eaten by the bandits."
How could Song Shu not know this? She was naturally grateful to these people.
Just as she was about to leave, the man suddenly looked at her and said, "Are you the daughter of Butcher Song in Xiaosongzhuang?"
Song Shu paused and looked back at the man: "Exactly, I don't know, Master Jun..."
"Ah, it's nothing. I went to buy meat from him before, and you look familiar. Okay, let's go back."
After saying that, the man's eyes still turned to Song Wu.
The incomprehensible words made Song Shu feel that something was wrong, but she was anxious to go back and was afraid that Pei Xuan and Yan would be worried, so she didn't think much about it.
Now there was no obstacle for the three of them, and they finally arrived at Xiaosongzhuang in about half an hour.
Song Shu got out of the car and covered Yin Yin with hay.
"Auntie is home. Follow daddy to mom's house. If you miss me, just come here. Auntie will be at home every day."
"Then Auntie promised that Yin Yin will definitely come to find you!"
After a few more instructions, Song Shu opened the door.
"Mom! I'm back!"
Yan, who was anxious in the yard, heard Song Shu's voice, staggered out of the yard, and her eyes immediately turned red.
