Chapter 211 Bandits
Chapter 211 Bandits
Xu Li stopped forcing them, and seeing that everyone had rested enough, he said, "Let's go boating on the lake!"
Xia Wanniang looked at the boats on the lake and said, "I'm afraid there are no boats left now. We didn't book them in advance."
Xu Li looked at the shore and saw that there were indeed no boats. "We were not well prepared this time. We can only do it next time."
Xia Wanniang looked at the six children and yawned sleepily: "Let's go back. We have played all day."
Naturally, the others had no objection and they all stood up and walked towards Yunxi Teahouse.
"Help!"
"what!"
"Run, bandit."
"The bandits have entered the city."
"......"
Screams and cries instantly turned this warm market into a hellish battlefield.
Xu Li's face changed drastically, and he turned to look at Yifeng: "Yifeng, take care of the children and go to Yunxi Teahouse to meet Aunt Xiao first."
Yifeng looked worried: "Master, what about you?"
"Your master is the county magistrate, he can't die." Xu Li said and looked at Xiao Chiye.
Xia Wanniang looked at Xiao Chiye and said, "You go with Master Xu. I'll take the children to find their mother. I'll come find you later. Be careful."
Xiao Chiye nodded: "Be careful."
Xia Wanniang nodded and looked at Yin Yuanxun: "Brother Yin, take good care of my sister-in-law. Let's go back to Yunxi Teahouse first."
Yin Yuanxun bent down and picked up Xiao Zisen with one hand, then turned to look at Jiao: "Madam, follow me closely."
Jiao nodded, bent down and picked up Xiao Zilin: "Let's go."
Yifeng picked up Xuanqing, Xia Wanniang picked up Xiao Zimu, Yin Yuanzhang and Yin Yuanyuan picked up Yunshan and Mo Zi.
All the children were silent and did not say anything, nor did they suggest going downstairs by themselves.
Yin Yuanxun walked in front, leading them through the less crowded alleys instead of the main road.
Yifeng stayed behind to ensure that they did not fall behind.
Aunt Xiao heard the noise and clamor in the street, but before she could hear clearly, she heard the owner of the teahouse asking his waiter to quickly close the door of the shop.
Aunt Yin's heart skipped a beat: "What happened?"
Father Yin also started to panic: "Why are they closing the door out of the blue? We guests haven't even left yet."
Aunt Xiao hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at the two panicked people: "I'm afraid something happened in the city."
Father Yin stood up suddenly, his face pale: "How, how could it be, Yuanxun and the others are still outside."
He became even more flustered when he thought of this: "No, no, I have to go find them."
"You can't go." Aunt Xiao scolded: "If you go now, not only will you not be able to find them, but you will also cause trouble for them."
Father Yin wanted to say something, but Aunt Yin stopped him and said, "Listen to Madam."
Aunt Xiao turned and left the private room, and saw that the guests in the hall were surrounding the shopkeeper, asking what had happened.
The shopkeeper told what he knew: "Bandits have entered the city. Everyone is staying in the teahouse. If we go out rashly, we might be in danger."
"No, my grandson is still outside, and so are my son and daughter-in-law. Please open the door." A man grabbed the shopkeeper's collar.
"Boss, please open the door. Our family members are still outside. What if they can't come in?"
The shopkeeper gritted his teeth and said, "No. There are too many people coming in. We can't protect them all. If the bandits come in as well, we'll all die."
The man holding the shopkeeper's feet suddenly weakened and fell to the ground: "Why, why is this happening?"
Aunt Xiao did not go down. She closed her eyes and held the railing upstairs tightly with her fingers.
The shopkeeper was right. Opening the door might not save everyone, and it might even harm those currently in the teahouse.
He can only save as many as he can now, and he is powerless to save more.
She believed that they would be fine and return safely.
Father Yin saw her walk in and said, "Madam, what's going on?"
Aunt Xiao said calmly, "It was the bandits."
"What?" Aunt Yin lost her balance and fell onto the stool.
Father Yin was still a little unconvinced: "How, how could it be bandits?"
Aunt Yin's eyes were already wet with tears: "What should I do? What should I do?"
Aunt Xiao looked at the two of them and said, "Believe them. Don't forget that your son was once the adjutant of the Xiao family army. He will definitely be able to return safely with his family!"
