Dong Shu was very excited when she heard Xu Shiqiu wanted to guess who he was talking about. She did not care about anyone else here and grabbed Xu Shiqiu's hand and said after waving it: "Master, you're so nice. I really like you." While talking, Dong Shu's beautiful crescent eyes also shined shockingly.

Hearing Young Girl's words, Xu Shiqiu immediately revealed a smile, ignoring his niece who was beside him, he looked at Dong Shu and said: "My wife, I like you too."

Seeing that Third Uncle and Third Aunt did not even bother about him and directly said these words, Xu Yanzhu immediately laughed helplessly, and then looked around at his surroundings.

However, when she looked up, she saw a familiar yet unfamiliar face on the far corner of the street.

Seeing that half of her face was turned, Xu Yanzhu immediately walked forward a few steps. Only when she was pulled by Dong Shu did she come back to her senses, and turned to look at Xu Shiqiu: "Third Uncle, I saw a person that looked very familiar." With that, Xu Yanzhu prepared to walk forward again.

"Yanzhu, wait a moment." After Xu Shiqiu finished speaking, he thought for a moment and asked, "Did you see who that person was?" Looking at Xu Yanzhu's expression, it was hard for Xu Shiqiu to guess who she saw just now.

Xu Yanzhu didn't know how to explain it to him.

When she saw that person just now, she could only say that it was very familiar, but she could not think of just who it was.

But just now, a voice in her heart told her that if she didn't chase after him now, she would definitely regret it.

Thinking about this, Xu Yanzhu also spoke up while looking at Xu Shiqiu: "Third Uncle, I don't know who he is, but I must find him today." As she spoke, Xu Yanzhu escaped from Dong Shu's grasp and quickly chased after the figure that disappeared.

Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu never thought that Xu Yanzhu would make such a move. Seeing Xu Yanzhu leave just like that, Xu Shiqiu immediately protected him and said while looking at Xu Jie, "Fourth Brother Xu Jie."

"I understand. You guys go slower, I'll go first." The moment Xu Shiqiu opened his mouth, Xu Jie understood his meaning. After throwing down these words, he strode towards the place Xu Yanzhu had just left in large strides.

It was only until left to chase after him that Dong Shu finally asked Xu Shiqiu with a puzzled look on his face, "Husband, what happened to Yanzhu just now?" After saying this, Dong Shu thought for a moment, then continued: "Just who did we see that made her so anxious to chase after us?"

"I don't know either, but looking at Yanzhu's reaction just now, he must be an extremely important person." Since he was outside, Xu Shiqiu did not dare to say much. After confirming that Xu Jie had indeed managed to catch up with him, he called for Xu Feng and Xu Jun to follow him.

After leaving Xu Shiqiu and his side, Xu Yanzhu had been walking toward the last place where she had seen the figure earlier. When she arrived there, she raised her head and saw the back of a person not far away.

She hesitated for a moment before she continued walking toward the figure.

Just as she was about to walk towards the figure, the man who was just standing there suddenly turned around and glanced at her.

When she saw the two familiar eyes, Xu Yanzhu was stunned.

Her eyes felt a bit sore. She was just about to ask nervously when the man who had just glanced at her suddenly turned around and walked towards a street corner.

"Don't go, don't go." Xu Yanzhu extended her hand to grab at the man, but the man that was just a hair's breadth away from her suddenly made it impossible for her to catch him.

Seeing that the man had left, Xu Yanzhu immediately chased after him. However, when she reached the corner of the street, the man from before was no longer there.

Xu Jie had finally caught up with Xu Yanzhu, he had truly been scared to death just now.

She had clearly seen Xu Yanzhu twice and was able to grab onto her with one hand, but she had ran really far in the blink of an eye.

"Yanzhu, let's go back first."

Xu Jie extended his hand out wanting to protect Xu Yanzhu as he left, but Xu Yanzhu pushed him away, and muttered to herself while looking at the place where the man disappeared: "Who exactly are you? Why does it look so familiar? "

Hearing Xu Yanzhu's words, although Xu Jie was suspicious, he still protected her well, "Yanzhu, your Third Uncle and your Third Aunt are worried for you. Follow me back first."

"NO!" I'm not going back! " Xu Yanzhu said to Xu Jie after she finished speaking, "Fourth Uncle Yan, I can't go back. I must find him today." As she said that, Xu Yanzhu wanted to walk forward again.

Seeing her like this, how could Xu Jie be at ease to let her leave?

"Yanzhu, you go back with me first. Even if you want to find someone, you must first return to your Third Uncle's side." Xu Jie advised Xu Yanzhu as he turned his head to look back. After confirming that Xu Shiqiu's group was not far behind them, he heaved a sigh of relief.

But just as he was relieved, Xu Yanzhu who was stopped by him just now suddenly pushed him away, and ran in the direction where the man disappeared to.

When Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu saw this from afar, they instantly tensed up.

"Fourth brother, stop her!"

After Xu Shiqiu shouted these words, he carefully protected Dong Shu who was beside him and quickly chased after him.

Dong Shu could see her husband's worry. She really wanted him to leave her alone and chase after Xu Yanzhu first, but she suppressed those words when she raised her head and looked at him.

When Xu Shiqiu escorted Dong Shu to the place where Xu Jie and Xu Yanzhu were standing a moment ago, Xu Jie also forcefully pulled Xu Yanzhu back.

After Xu Yanzhu was pulled back to her side, her expression was extremely dejected. Seeing her like this, Xu Shiqiu, who originally wanted to teach her a lesson, didn't know what to say.

Dong Shu could feel that her husband, who was embracing her, was angry at this moment. She hurriedly raised his hand and held onto Xu Shiqiu's hand, then said: "Husband, if there's anything, let's talk after we go home."

After Dong Shu finished speaking, he then looked up at Xu Yanzhu and said, "Yanzhu, don't be anxious, let's go home first."

Only after hearing Dong Shu's words did Xu Shiqiu suppress the anger in his heart, and did not directly ask.

However, Xu Yanzhu immediately shook her head after hearing what Dong Shu said, "Third Aunt, I want to find that person first." The more Xu Yanzhu spoke, the more obvious that feeling at the bottom of her heart became, "I feel that if I don't find him today, I will regret it for the rest of my life."

Hearing Xu Yanzhu's words, Xu Shiqiu felt both anger and heartache.

After thinking for a moment, Xu Shiqiu then said: "Tell me what that person looked like." After saying this, Xu Shiqiu sighed, then continued to speak: "Speak, we will split up to help you look for it. If we can't find it all together, then you must follow us home."

Xu Yanzhu wanted to speak again after hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, but Dong Shu opened her mouth first: "Yanzhu, if we continue to stay here, Mother will also worry."

"He is about the same height as the Third Uncle, wearing a green robe and a square scarf. He looks like a scholar, but from the looks of it, he should be practicing martial arts." Xu Yanzhu said as she recalled the figure she saw earlier.

For some reason, when she saw his profile, she felt that he looked familiar, but when she thought about it carefully, what she was most familiar with were his eyes. The way he looked at her was what she was most familiar with.

Xu Yanzhu tried hard to recall where she had seen this expression before, but she was unable to do so even after thinking for a long time.

After hearing Xu Yanzhu's words, many people here wanted to dress up like this, but looking at the stubborn look in Yanzhu's eyes, he could only sigh, and then arrange for everyone to split up and search for him. No matter if they could find him or not, they would have to meet up at the place where their Mule Cart stopped in half an hour.

Although Xu Yanzhu still wanted to look for a while longer, she understood that it was not easy for the Third Uncle to make concessions.

She only hoped to find that person within half an hour.

However, the result was destined to disappoint her.

Xu Yanzhu was dragged by Dong Shu to the side of the Mule Cart, because she was unwilling to get on the Mule Cart and leave.

She looked at the gradually dispersing streets, and choked with emotions as she said to Dong Shu: "Third Aunt, I have a feeling that if I don't find that person today, he'll leave just like that. I'll regret it for the rest of my life."

Hearing Xu Yanzhu's words, Dong Shu also had an extremely bad feeling in her heart.

"But we have really searched for Yanzhu. Maybe she has already left, don't be too sad." After Dong Shu finished speaking, he sighed and said, "Unfortunately, you still haven't recalled who that person was."

If she could think of who that person was, Dong Shu believed that her husband would definitely help Xu Yanzhu find him.

After hearing what Dong Shu said, Xu Yanzhu did not say anything, she only looked at the street where the lanterns were gradually being taken, laughed desolately, and then went into the Mule Cart s without looking back.

After Xu Yanzhu entered the Mule Cart s, Xu Shiqiu supported Dong Shu to another Mule Cart and sat down.

Just as Xu Shiqiu followed Dong Shu and was about to get into the Mule Cart s, he suddenly felt a line of sight land on him.

After sensing the gaze, he subconsciously looked over.

But as he had expected, when he looked there was no one there.

With regards to this matter, Xu Shiqiu did not tell anyone. After he sat on the Mule Cart, he started to think about who this person was.

That look just now didn't have any killing intent or any aggression, it was only the gaze that sized him up.

But it was this gaze that made him think that Xu Yanzhu might have really seen someone she knew.

However, he also didn't understand. If he was really an old friend of Xu Family, why wouldn't he want to see them?

Because of the matter of the Heaven s Lamp, Xu Yanzhu had been listless for the past few days after returning home.

Old Madame Xu did not know about all these, she only thought that Xu Yanzhu was unhappy that she was about to leave home and go to the capital.

Xu Yanzhu also knew that she couldn't tell her grandmother about this, so when Old Madame Xu guessed that she was not happy to leave, she didn't refute her.

"Yanzhu, don't be sad, I have already written a letter to your aunt. When you arrive at the capital, your aunt will take care of you."

Old Madame Xu was worried about Xu Xiaozhi and Madame Jiang, so she had already written a letter to Xu Nuanwen.

After Xu Yanzhu heard Old Madame Xu's words, she kept the previous expression on his face and looked at her: "Grandmother, Yanzhu has troubled you again."

"Sigh, don't say such words. Grandmother is willing to worry about you." Old Madame Xu looked at Xu Yanzhu, she touched her head and continued: "Yanzhu, Grandmother cannot watch you on the road ahead, you must take this path yourself. If you meet a tiger blocking the road or a thorn on the way, don't be afraid. Just swing your blade and if something happens, you will have your grandma protecting you. "

It wasn't the first time Xu Yanzhu had heard the Old Madame Xu say such words, but today, when she heard those words, she felt extremely uncomfortable.

"Grandmother, Yanzhu is not by your side. You must take care of your body and wait for Yanzhu to come back and see you."

"Good, good, good. Grandmother will wait for Yanzhu to come back and see me." Old Madame Xu said happily after hearing what Xu Yanzhu had said.

However, she knew in her heart that a married woman was like water poured over them. Unless she returned to the capital, it would be extremely difficult to meet Yanzhu in the future.

When Xu Yanzhu heard Old Madame Xu's words, she also knew that his grandmother knew that it would be extremely difficult for her to come back after this trip.

However, in her heart, she still hoped that one day, she would be able to return to her grandmother's side.

Xu Yanzhu left the Xiahe Village on the 20th of August.

The day was bright and sunny, and the autumn sun was not as hot as it was in summer. It was warm and comfortable as it shone on one's body.

Xu Shiqiu brought Dong Shu and her family and Xu Feng's eldest son along with him as they left the place.

Xu Yanzhu did not cry, she only had a smile on her face after the convoy left the Xiahe Village, and then she turned to Cui Hua and asked: "Cui Hua, do you think we will one day return?"

"Of course!"

Hearing Cui Hua's words, Xu Yanzhu did not speak, she only smiled at her.

"If one day I don't exist, you must bring me back, Cui Hua!"
