Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 908: Chapter 909 Dirty...

...

To prevent the people who were knocked unconscious from waking up and posing a threat again, Xiao Changyi used rope to bind all the unconscious individuals tightly. No one could break free from these bindings, ensuring that even if they woke up, escape was impossible.

However, Tao Shangran hadn’t seen anyone return and would definitely send more people to search for Meng Zhuqing and Tobanya. It was likely that there would be more trouble here, so this place was actually no longer safe.

Therefore, as soon as he had bound the individuals, Xiao Changyi entered the courtyard and called out to An Jing in the inner room, ”Jing Er, everything is taken care of, but this place might not be safe. Pack up, we’re going to move to the palace.”

He paused for a moment, but didn’t forget to add, ”It’s dirty outside, don’t let the children come out yet.”

An Jing immediately understood and loudly replied, ”Okay!”

As soon as An Jing responded, Xiao Changyi went to get the horse-drawn carriage ready and secured it to Zhuri for pulling.

After preparing the carriage, Xiao Changyi took off the outer garment that was smeared with other people’s blood and discarded it, then he entered the inner room.

”Husband, are you alright?” As soon as Xiao Changyi came in, An Jing rushed over, anxiously asking and began a thorough check of him to make sure he was unharmed.

”I’m fine.”

”Where are your clothes?”

”They got dirty,” Xiao Changyi said briefly. After hugging An Jing, he went to the wardrobe, took a new outer garment, and quickly put it on.

After hearing that the clothes were dirty, An Jing understood and, not wanting the four children to be scared by the conversation, didn’t ask further.

Once Xiao Changyi was dressed, he approached the four little ones sitting on the bed, staring at him with puzzled expressions, and said, ”Close your eyes.”

All four children, not understanding, asked in their childish voices, ”Daddy, why do we have to close our eyes?”

Before Xiao Changyi could respond, An Jing came over, smiling and coaxing, ”Be good, listen to your father, and close your eyes. Mom and Dad are going to take you to the palace to play with your Brother Chen. If you don’t close your eyes, Mom and Dad won’t take you.”

”We want to go!” Immediately, the four children obediently closed their eyes.

Xiao Changyi then carried the children into the carriage two by two. After placing all four children in the carriage, he ordered them to stay inside and not crawl out, telling them to remain well-behaved.

When An Jing stepped out of the courtyard with some simply packed items, she saw many bodies in black lying at the entrance, the ground dyed red with the blood that flowed from them. It was terrifying and made her heart skip a beat in fear.

Thank goodness, he was alright.

Thank goodness, he and their children were unharmed.

Thank goodness, their whole family was safe.

”This place isn’t safe; we need to leave quickly.” Seeing An Jing staring blankly at the corpses on the ground, Xiao Changyi, after closing the gate, came to her side and whispered this to her, holding her tight.

”Yes,” An Jing quickly boarded the carriage. As she lifted the curtain and entered the carriage compartment, she was especially careful, fearing the children might see the horrifying scene outside.

Before Zhuri started running, Xiao Changyi said to An Jing inside the carriage, ”It’s going to be bumpy, take care of the children.”

”Yes.”

Unlike before when the carriage would slowly enter the palace, this time Xiao Changyi urged Zhuri to run especially fast.

After all, it was best to leave the dangerous area as soon as possible.

Even on smooth roads, the carriage would be somewhat shaky, and now with Zhuri running so quickly, the carriage was even more jolting. Fortunately, the four children didn’t seem to mind; in fact, they found it extremely exciting and enjoyable.
