Fortunately, Yangliu Village was just ahead, and they arrived at Xia Qianqian’s house in less than a quarter of an hour.
Qin had already cooked the porridge, but her daughter and son had not come back yet. She was walking back and forth at the door anxiously with a lamp in hand.
Suddenly she heard the sound of a carriage approaching from afar. She looked hard but could not see clearly.
"Mom, I'm back!"
Xia Qianqian shouted at Qin Xue.
Hearing her daughter's voice, Qin Xue finally felt relieved and gently called out to the dim light and shadow: "Qianqian, you're back? Is Yu'er with you?"
"Yes, he's asleep." Xia Qianqian answered loudly.
Qingtong drove the carriage to the yard and helped Gu Changsheng into the house to keep warm. Qin Shi saw Gu Changsheng coming back and felt strange, so she asked, "Qianqian, what's going on?"
"Don't mention it. I met Wang Hu today and almost fell into his hands. Fortunately, Yu'er went to look for me and met Gu Changsheng, and together they rescued me." Xia Qianqian said.
Qin was terrified when she heard this. She reached out to touch Xia Qianqian and happened to touch the scratch on her face: "Qianqian, are you hurt?"
"No." Xia Qianqian said, enduring the pain.
Gu Changsheng sat at the table and had recovered a little. Xia Yu stood on tiptoe and served her the hot porridge: "Third Young Master, please have some rice porridge."
"Okay." Gu Changsheng knew that their family was in financial difficulty and couldn't afford to give him good food, so he just drank the rice porridge.
After drinking the hot porridge, his whole body felt warmer. Gu Changsheng raised his eyelids and found that Xia Qianqian's family of four were looking at him.
"Master Gu, there is still porridge. Have another bowl!" Qin Xue said.
"No." Gu Changsheng looked around the house, "Xia Qianqian and Xia Yu haven't eaten yet, let them drink!"
"It's okay. I have noodles and sweet potatoes at home. I'll go wash up and fry some sweet potato balls for you." Xia Qianqian was really embarrassed at the moment. She couldn't stand it herself, so she took a bucket of hot water back to the house to wash up.
Xia Yu thoughtfully made some hot tea for Gu Changsheng: "Third Master, thank you for saving my elder sister. When I grow up, I will definitely repay you."
"Okay, I'll wait." Gu Changsheng smiled and touched Xia Yu's head. "However, today it's thanks to you that you discovered something was wrong, otherwise..."
Gu Changsheng was still in shock and didn't dare to think further. How could he let someone bully the treasure he held in his hands? It was true that poverty was the root of all sorrows. When would Xia Qianqian become rich
He took out a gun from the space, hesitating whether to give it to Xia Qianqian for self-defense. Xia Yu saw it with sharp eyes and asked curiously: "Third Master, what kind of weapon is that? It looks very powerful."
"This is a gift from a hermit, it's called a gun." Gu Changsheng explained softly, thinking. Is the gun too dangerous? Should he give her something else
"gun?"
Xia Qianqian had already washed up and changed into clean clothes. Her long hair was braided into two braids, hanging in front of her chest. When she heard the word "gun", her face changed instantly, and she remembered the hidden weapon that Gu Changsheng used today.
"It is said that this toy is called a gun." Gu Changsheng took out his pistol.
Xia Qianqian was startled: "How did you get this thing?"
"Didn't I tell you that I know a hermit? He gave it to me, saying it could be used for self-defense. I tried it today, and it's really powerful." Gu Changsheng played with the pistol and pointed it at Xia Qianqian.
"Put it down quickly, it could be fatal." Xia Qianqian's legs went weak, fearing that Gu Changsheng would accidentally pull the trigger and the gun would go off.
