C199 (2/2)

Shen Huanzhi wanted to laugh out loud, but he recovered and resisted the urge.

Xie Jingxi laughed and said: ”It's good that this child was born a bit older than me. I'm under the care of Ye Dong.

glanced at Shen Huanzhi, ”I have a question, you two aren't husband and wife, right?”

Xie Jingxi picked up the little fellow and placed it in the crook of her arm to have a look, the smile didn't surprise him at all. Ye Ying looked at the little fellow who looked like a bandit, but was very cautious and bold, taking note of everything.

Shen Huanzhi said: ”You really saw through it.”

Ye Ying replied him with a gaze that said, ”Since the two of you are temporarily staying with me, I will have to ensure your safety. So, there are some things that I have to say first.”

However, Shopkeeper Ye can relax, I did not hide my identity from you, I will not go back on my word. We did run into some trouble, but it did not involve you, that's all I can say. ”did not want her to say anything, and instead said:” Xi is my younger sister, and is out of the world.

Ye Ying nodded, ”To be honest, you said that all of you were washed over by the water, I do not believe, and have my suspicions about your identities, because of that water, to be honest, I have not seen anyone come up alive, all of you came up alive, but you all might not have made it out alive. However, I have some confidence in my judgement towards people, since I have chosen to protect all of you, I plan on doing it until the end as a good person, but here, I am not completely safe.”

Shen Huanzhi was serious, he had thought about this before, so he could only hope that the people outside would be able to receive the letter as soon as possible. However, there were always accidents, and it was not a long term solution here, ”Ye Dong's family wants to say, have they already suspected it?”

Ye Ying did not deny, since he was not stupid, there were some things that could be said, ”I can guarantee from Doctor Chang, I won't reveal anything about my place, but other people can't. The town is so big, and I have three people hiding here, I don't know when they will leak out news, especially that milk baby, who is crying and making trouble, and there are also people from poor fishing villages, they have all seen you people.”

Quadruple Town, the so called great and powerful elder, who dared to openly establish a small imperial government, must have been on guard in all aspects. An inexplicable person who could not be simple came out of the town, no matter how foolish he was, he had to think about it more, if he thought about it slightly, he might get into trouble, he might ask about the fishing village, it was not that he could not be trusted with anything, but just like the Doctor Chang had said, it was all for the sake of living, he could not ask everyone to sacrifice their lives to hide it, so the news had to be spread sooner or later.

Xie Jingxi asked: ”Ye Dong Clan, if we were to be discovered, what would the worst case scenario be?”

Ye Ying shook her head, ”I don't know, but you've all seen the situation in the poor fishing village. Most of the young people have left, and many have come to the Quadruple Town to work, but have mysteriously disappeared in the end.

Before Xie Jingxi could think about it further, a noise suddenly came from outside, some clever little servant shouted loudly, ”Aiyo, Master Fatty, what are you saying, didn't we just pay the rent, why do we have to barge into our courtyard?”

Ye Ying's expression changed, ”They're here, quickly enter the secret cellar!”

These words were naturally said to Xie Jingxi. Just as she was about to carry An and leave, the little guy suddenly started crying uneasily. Her ability to sense danger was simply first-rate, but Ancestor An was, right now, not the time for him to make a sound!

Shen Huanzhi came over, ”Xi, the child has to stay, she can't hide his wailing, so let's just accept it and spend more silver to send him away, but you have to hide it, if you are discovered, it will be hard to explain. Don't worry, leave Zhian to me, as long as I am around, everything will be fine.”

Logic told her that Shen Huanzhi was right, but she didn't really want to care about being rational right now. Exposing An to the outside, she couldn't be ruthless.

”This is not the time for love!” Ye Ying became anxious, ”If you don't want us all to die, then just listen to Shen Huanzhi. I promise with my life, I won't hurt a single hair on his head.”

Xie Jingxi clenched her teeth, handing An over to Shen Huanzhi. Taking a breath in, she went into the secret cellar in Ye Ying's house without looking back. In this life or death situation, she had never lacked the decisiveness to look at the overall situation.

The moment the secret cellar door closed, Xie Jingxi leaned on it with that last breath of air. Faint sounds of An's crying and disorderly arguing came from outside, as though they were separated by a thousand miles, yet it was heard clearly. She slowly closed her eyes, not knowing when this endless turmoil would end.
