Chapter 928
This small interruption will not affect their schedule.

After arriving in Pinghu County, they first found an inn, planning to rest here for two days before setting off to Liangshan County.

Originally, Liu Yunxiang was in a relaxed mood when she went to Liangshan County, but after hearing the old woman's words in the carriage, she couldn't feel relaxed now.

The next day, the family slept until almost noon before they got up. After washing up, they went out to have breakfast together.Since today was the market, they took Sanbao out to play after breakfast.

Pinghu County is very prosperous. Just walking around the market can tell that the local people live a prosperous and happy life.

They didn't come back until after noon. As soon as they entered, a man came up and stopped them.

"Master and madam, you are back. Someone is waiting for you in the backyard. They have been waiting for more than an hour."

"Wait for us?"

Liu Yunxiang raised his eyebrows. They knew no one in this strange place.

"Let's go over and take a look." Yan Mu said.

Liu Yunxiang nodded, and the two of them took Sanbao and followed the guy to the backyard. From a distance, they saw a woman wearing a rouge-colored coat sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard, and a little girl about fifteen or six years old, wearing a peach-colored coat. Wearing a plain skirt, she had two little balls on her hair, and she was spinning a peony in her hand.

"This is our county guard's wife, Mrs. Hu." The guy introduced.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Hu turned around. She was about thirty years old, beautiful, with two dimples in her smile. It was obvious at a glance that she was a cheerful person.

"You two are Mr. Yan and Mrs. Yan!" Mrs. Hu hurriedly stepped forward, "Mr. Yan saved my family's life, but he couldn't get away because of the banditry, so he must tell me sincerely. I apologize to you two. I looked for several inns before I found you two."

Liu Yunxiang smiled and shook his head, "Chief Hu is so polite, it's just a small effort."

"But this little effort saved my husband's life. It is a great kindness to our family."

Because it was a woman's house, Yan Mu couldn't spend time with her, so he left Liu Yunxiang here. He planned to take Sanbao back first, but Sanbao had already started playing with the girl and refused to go back to the house to be bored.

There was no other way, so Yan Mu had to go back alone.

Mrs. Hu pulled Liu Yunxiang to sit down at the stone table and pushed a food box over.

"My husband said that you two are in business. You can see from your clothes that you are in need of gold and silver jewelry. Besides, we don't have any at home. To express my gratitude, I made some snacks. These are the specialty snacks of our southwest. You two If you don’t mind it, you can take it with you to eat on the road.”

Liu Yunxiang looked at the food box. The plates were very delicately made and looked very tempting.

"I have to accept this offer, I'm so greedy."

"Try a piece first."

Mrs. Hu brought a piece of jujube cake to Liu Yunxiang. Liu Yunxiang took it, tasted it, and nodded repeatedly, "It's fragrant and soft. Mrs. Hu's craftsmanship is really amazing."

Mrs. Hu smiled, "That's all I can do."

Mrs. Hu was sincere and gentle in her treatment of others, and Liu Yunxiang got along very well with her, and it was already dark before she knew it.

“I was supposed to invite Mr. Yan and your family to have dinner at my house as a courtesy to the landlord, but...” Mrs. Hu looked embarrassed, “There was a heavy rain not long ago, and the inner courtyard of the government office collapsed, and it has never been repaired. We live in a private house outside. The place is small and it is really not convenient to entertain guests."

"Mrs. Hu, you're welcome. We know that Commander Hu is busy with official duties, so we are really embarrassed to disturb you. I have received Mrs. Hu's wishes. We will set off tomorrow. See you again if we have the chance."

"Then I'll see you off tomorrow."

"I won't bother Mrs. Hu anymore. We are taking the children with us and we may set off at some time."

Mrs. Hu thought the same thing, "I'm going to make you uncomfortable, so let's say goodbye today."

"it is good."

Sanbao played very well with the little girl from Commander Hu's family. Before leaving, the young lady gave him a palm-length bamboo flute, saying it was made by Commander Hu.

San Bao liked it very much when he held it in his hand. Thinking that he had nothing to give to his sister, he kissed the little girl.

The little girl blushed and ran away.Liu Yunxiang stroked his forehead, and after sending Mrs. Hu and her daughter away, he seriously educated Sambo, "It is very impolite not to be able to care for our little girl."

Sanbao pouted, "But Sanbao is my sister and my mother."

"My sister and mother can do it, but other people's little girls can't."

"The three treasures are still close to Jinyan, brother Xiuyuan's mother, and Aunt Qu."

Liu Yunxiang rolled his eyes, "No one is allowed to kiss anyone except my mother from now on."

"Oh fine."

The next day, as expected, the family of three didn't get up until noon.Liu Yunxiang yawned while helping his son get dressed, and at the same time he was too lazy to lean into Yan Mu's arms.

"Mrs. Hu wanted to give us a gift yesterday, but I refused. It's just that our family is lazy, so we only got up now to let others laugh."

Yan Mu hugged Liu Yunxiang and saw that she was still sleepy, so he said, "Would you like to sleep a little longer?"

"No, we still have to hurry."

"Dad, I want to sleep." Sanbao pouted.

Yan Mu kicked him with his foot, "I'm so lazy, hurry up and get dressed."

Sanbao said angrily: "Anyway, dad only loves mother, not Sanbao at all."

"Go, get dressed and go outside to ask for face wash for your mother."

Liu Yunxiang put his arms around Yan Mu's neck, leaned in and kissed her again, "Pinghu County is not far from Liangshan County. If we walk faster, we can get there after dark."

"Well, try to get to the city as early as possible. It's not safe outside."

"So I really can't sleep anymore, so get up quickly."

After getting dressed and freshened up, the family of three got out of the car and asked the waiter to pack food boxes for breakfast, planning to make up for it in the car.When I walked to the door of the inn, I saw a group of officials running towards the city gate in a hurry. Many people were watching. There was something wrong with the atmosphere.

Liu Yunxiang asked the clerk what happened. The clerk sighed and said, "The county guard's only daughter was stolen by a robber last night. I heard that the county guard's wife went crazy with worry, and the county guard also chased her out of the city with his officials overnight."

"Stolen at home?" Liu Yunxiang asked with a frown.

"No." The clerk sighed again, "The county governor's family does not live in the inner courtyard of the government office. They live in the alley not far in front. There are no guards, so the robbers climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard. After a fight, they killed the little girl. Taken away."

Liu Yunxiang frowned, thinking of the little girl who played with Sanbao yesterday afternoon. She had a round face, smiled like her mother, was very cute, and was very well-behaved and sensible.

When she thought about the behavior of these bandits, her heart began to twitch.

"Husband, I want to see Mrs. Hu," she said.

Yan Mu nodded, "Then we won't leave today."

Leaving Sanbao in the care of Jiang Yuan, Yan Mu and Liu Yunxiang went to Hu's house together.When I came to the courtyard, I saw Mrs. Hu staggering out of the main room. When she was about to fall, she was supported by a nanny.

"Madam, where are you going!" Grandma was anxious and distressed.

"I'm going to save Lan'er, I have to save her!"

"Where are you going to save me?"

"me……"

Mrs. Hu couldn't say anything, and her tears fell down. When she saw Liu Yunxiang and the others coming in, she rushed over and knelt on the ground.

"Two benefactors, please save my daughter again!"
