"You just wanted to take your mother to escape from this disabled family. It was a kind of resistance against the shackles. It can't be called selfish at all." Shi Xiaonian said.
He just wanted to escape, that's all.
Hearing this, Feng De's eyes turned red. He looked at her and said, "Xiao Nian, do you believe it? I didn't really want to kill her. I always thought she was so popular and there would be many people interceding for her. Those young men will not harm her, they just want to get her. I always thought she would not die. I have used all my strength to go back to find her. I didn't expect that she was dead. I really didn't expect... "
Feng De's words were already somewhat incoherent.
"I believe in you, foster father." Shi Xiaonian looked at him and said, "You are such a warm person. I believe in you, I really believe in you."
After hearing this, Feng De's emotions were slowly calmed down, and Shi Xiaonian said, "I believe she must still be alive."
Feng De turned to look at her and nodded, "Yes, it's good as long as she's alive. No matter if she hates me or not, as long as she's alive, that's good."
Even if he carries guilt for the rest of his life, it won't be enough for her to survive.
"You will see her." Shi Xiaonian comforted him, "Gong Ou and I will definitely help you."
"The young master is extremely disappointed in me. In recent years, I have really become worse and worse." Feng De said, "I may be really old and can no longer take care of you."
"Father, don't be like this, don't say such silly things." Shi Xiaonian said, "It's not like you don't know what kind of person Gong Ou is. He talks so harshly, and I worry about you more than anyone else."
Hearing this, Feng De couldn't help but smile, "That's true. I'm used to seeing the ugliness and hypocrisy of human nature. Only the young master lives a very real life and looks arrogant, but he has never really treated me as a subordinate, even in other situations." When the housekeeper excluded me, he took me to China resolutely."
This is completely different from what he lived in the Berg family.
"Okay, it's too late. Father, please go to bed early. We will go find someone tomorrow." Shi Xiaonian said.
Feng De nodded.
When Xiaonian accompanied Feng De back to the room, she turned around and left. Suddenly, she stopped and turned to look at Feng De, only to see him carefully placing his pocket watch on the cabinet aside.
"What does Xiaoshu and Xiaohai mean?"
Shi Xiaonian couldn't help but ask.
"That was the pseudonym we used on the island after we left the Berg family." Feng De said, his eyes dimming. "She said that her wish was to be a tree on the seaside. I don't know what it means specifically. I asked, but she just smiled and said nothing."
“…”
Be a tree by the sea.
Shi Xiaonian nodded, said nothing, turned and left.
That night, Shi Xiaonian couldn't sleep. She lay in Gong Ou's arms and thought a lot. She thought about how heavy her adoptive father's life had been over the past few years. She thought about whether Angelina was alive or dead. , she thought about how they were going to find that person.
"Don't think about it, I have a solution."
Gong Ou's deep voice sounded in her ears, which was reassuring.
"You didn't sleep either?"
In the darkness, Shi Xiaonian asked softly.
"You've been moving around in my arms, can I sleep?" Gong Ou said, hugging her into his arms, "You don't have to think about anything, just let me sleep! You'll look ugly if you don't sleep. How can I teach you a lesson!"
“…”
Shi Xiaonian was silent for a while, and then couldn't help but ask, "Then how are we going to help our foster father find someone tomorrow? Sneak in, or?"
"Sneaking away? Why sneaking away?"
Gong Ou sneered, as if he heard a big joke.
“…”
"My housekeeper's father was tortured and killed here. Do I need to give any face to this kind of family?" Gong Ou said coldly, "When everyone from the Gong family arrives tomorrow, we will go in directly without any fun. Changed clothes!"
“…”
makes sense.
I was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble before, but what are I afraid of now? This family is so cruel and conservative, so it would be a good idea to vent my anger on behalf of my adoptive father.
The next day.
Before Shi Xiaonian and the others arrived, the yacht was already surrounded by people sent by the Berg family.
The islanders didn't know what happened, so they all came over to watch.
When Shi Xiaonian was held by Gong Ou and walked off the yacht, she saw many people in guard uniforms standing on the edge of the island, holding weapons in their hands.
The leader was a dark-haired man in black uniform, about the same age as Feng De.
The elderly landlady was explaining to him while holding her weapon, "They are my guests. They are not bad people. They came to the island with permission. They did not enter the Burke family. You can't arrest them." , if you want to catch me, catch me first.”
Listening to the old lady's words, Shi Xiaonian was moved. The landlady had only known them for a day, yet she protected them like this.
"Landlady."
Shi Xiaonian spoke out.
"Don't be afraid." The landlady said as she turned back. When she turned around, she was stunned. She saw Gong Ou and Shi Xiaonian getting off the yacht holding hands, followed by Su Yaoyao and a gray-haired man.
Shi Xiaonian was wearing an elegant long dress and long black hair, while Gong Ou was wearing a straight suit. There was no fluffy short hair, no black-rimmed glasses, and no beard. There was no way he looked like a middle-aged man.
“…”
The landlady and several islanders who had seen them were stunned and looked at them blankly.
The leader of the black-haired man stepped forward, looked at Gong Ou and sneered, "The second young master of the Gong family is here. Why didn't you inform us in advance? Our master specially sent me to greet you."
meet
It was here to trap them. The Gong family and the Lancaster family had deep hatred, and the Berg family relied on the Lancaster family for survival. How could they be friendly to them.
"Okay, I'm just going to meet your master."
Gong Ou said coldly, hugging Shi Xiaonian and walking forward.
Su Yaoyao and Feng De also walked down. Feng De passed by the black-haired man. Suddenly, the black-haired man stared at Feng De as if he had seen some monster.
"Ikra, you're fine."
Feng De stopped and lowered his head towards the black-haired man.
When the man named Ikra heard this, he roared suddenly and grabbed Feng De like crazy, "It's you, it's you who killed my sister! You dare to come back, I'll kill you!"
Shi Xiaonian looked over in astonishment and heard from the whispers of the people around her that he was Angelina's younger brother and the current guard chief.
Feng De knew he was guilty and stood there motionless.
Gong Ou's face darkened so much that he raised his leg and kicked the man without any hesitation.
After kicking, countless weapons came towards them, trapping them in the middle.
Iqra was kicked to the ground, got up from the ground in embarrassment, and glared at them hatefully, "Let's take them away to see the master!"
"Let me go!"
Gong Ou raised his foot and kicked the person aside, kicking away the guard holding the weapon at Shi Xiaonian's side.
Seeing this, Feng De had no choice but to put up a defensive posture. He had to protect Gong Ou and Shi Xiaonian. Ikra looked very fierce and glared at them fiercely. In order to maintain the reputation of the Berg family, he did not join the islanders. There were many arguments in front of them, so he just said, "Let's go, take them back first!"
"We can leave on our own. How about you put these spears and arrows in front of me?"
Gong Ou said coldly, his black eyes glaring at the man sharply, without any embarrassment as if he was trapped, as if he was the one who had a favorable situation.
“…”
Guard chief Ikra was frightened by his eyes and raised his hand to make a gesture. The guards below immediately took a few steps back.
Gong Ou then hugged Shi Xiaonian and walked forward.
Shi Xiaonian frowned, "Then what should we do now?"
"Are you afraid?"
Gong Ou looked down at her and hugged her tightly.
Shi Xiaonian thought for a while, and then said seriously, "I really don't seem to be panicked at all. Maybe you are by my side."
Even if their yacht is surrounded, even if they are heading towards the enemy's lair, she is not nervous or afraid at all.
"I like you like this!"
Gong Ou lowered his head and kissed her hard on the forehead, and said in a low voice, "There is nothing to be afraid of, this is just our unusual honeymoon!"
He comforted her anyway.
Shi Xiaonian couldn't help but chuckle, "Then this is too unusual. Who can go on their honeymoon and be caught by the enemy?"
"It's not that we were caught, it was me who brought you here." Gong Ou said, "Since we are here for our honeymoon on the island, how can it be considered a vacation if we don't go into the Berg family deep in the woods to appreciate it?"
Always visit the entire island.
"All right."
Shi Xiaonian felt even more relaxed now and followed Gong Ou inside.
The Burke family is deep in the island, very far away. Through the woods, they seem to be separated from the islanders by two worlds. Shi Xiao thought, "The scenery here is not as good as the seaside."
"The defense here is better. They established the family here for safety reasons." Gong Ou said, a pair of black eyes scanning the surroundings sharply, observing the terrain.
"The houses here are quite old."
"How much good can a run-down family expect?"
“…”
The guards following them were all speechless. Even though these two people were caught, they were still saying bad things about their family. Don't they know they're afraid
Ikra brought them into the Berg family's house, which was the same old castle. There were still people planting crops in the fields outside, all of them were working with sallow faces and thin clothes.
There were also people standing in the fields waving whips to urge them to work.
Shi Xiaonian looked at Feng De. Feng De's face had become very ugly, and his breathing was a little heavier. He looked at it with hatred, "I didn't expect that they are still using slaves like this!"
Feng De's fists were clenched tightly.
Shi Xiaonian looked at the people in the field and couldn't help but frowned. This Berg family really shouldn't exist in the world, and no one was taking care of it.
Before they entered the house, Su Yaoyao suddenly walked out and bowed her head respectfully to Ikra. The guard chief Ikra also bowed his head to her, "You can do it yourself."
Seeing this scene, Shi Xiaonian was not too surprised. (To be continued)
