Mu Qinying was startled and subconsciously protected Mu Lin behind her.
Two figures, one big and one small, emerged from the shadows. They looked extremely embarrassed in the night and were also startled to see the mother and daughter.
Under the bright moonlight, Mu Lin saw a young woman and a boy in a humble servant's short coat, hurrying along the road hand in hand. The gray and black dust on their faces and necks obscured their outstanding appearance, but the eyes of the mother and son were clear and beautiful.
This situation and this encounter were unusual. Mu Qinying calmly pulled Mu Lin aside to make way for the mother and son who were in a hurry. Mu Lin watched her master and his partner pass by them, and the fingers in her sleeves tightened unconsciously.
She was too young to help them by herself, but she was unwilling to give up this opportunity and had to find a way to come.
But what could she do? She had to take her mother away. Even if she didn't care about herself, she couldn't put her mother in danger.
Mu Lin pulled Mu Qinying's sleeve, "Mom, shall we go?"
At this moment, the boy's muffled exclamation came from behind: "Mother!"
Mu Lin subconsciously looked over and saw Qianji falling to the ground, causing Xiao Muyun to stumble. He just managed to steady himself and wanted to go forward to pull his mother up, but she pushed him away.
"Run, Yuner, run, don't worry about mother!"
"I don't want it, please get up and let's run together!"
Seeing that Mu Qinying was also looking in their direction and didn't seem to have any intention of leaving, Mu Lin quickly pulled her hand and whispered, "Mom, let's go. Lin'er is afraid..."
"No problem." Mu Qinying shook her head, still calm.
A strange feeling arose in Mu Lin's heart, and he suddenly felt less uneasy.
"obedient!"
Qianji shouted angrily and shook his son's hand away again.
His mother had never been so fierce to him before. Xiao Muyun stood there in a daze.
Qianji looked around and found an abandoned house with its door wide open in front of him, and his eyes lit up.
"Hide inside quickly, climb up the ladder to the roof, and hide behind the tiles on the eaves. Don't make any noise. Mother will lead them away..."
"No, even if I die, I want to die with my mother!" Xiao Muyun looked at her motionlessly, his eyes stubborn.
Qianji grabbed her son's face and said calmly, "Xiao Muyun, you must listen to me! Mother can no longer run... I may die, but you must live. You must live to tell your father and brother the truth, otherwise they will be kept in the dark and you will kill them!"
Qianji pushed him with the last bit of strength he had, "Go!"
"Want to leave? It's too late!"
A fierce voice broke through the air, and everyone present was shocked. They saw five masked men in black appear from the east and west sides of the alley and surrounded the four people.
Mu Lin's heart skipped a beat, and he regretted it deeply. Did she force her mother to show up and change the course of events? This was over. In addition to Princess Qianji, her master and mother would also be implicated by her.
The leading man in black swept his venomous gaze over Mu Qinying and her daughter, then fell on the miserable Qianji mother and son, and spit out four words with a sneer.
"Leave no one behind."
Mu Lin's mentality collapsed! She had disrupted her master's reincarnation and caused him to die at a young age. The only benefit was that she could bring him back quickly, which was not necessarily a bad thing... But she had innocently involved her mother, causing her to suffer for no reason and bringing her original life to an abrupt end. This was truly a sin!
I had no choice but to go back to the underworld to apologize to my mother and choose a good place for her to be reborn, hoping to make up for it...
Mu Lin was struggling with his thoughts when he suddenly heard his mother speak.
"White, did you hear me? Don't leave any one alive."
As soon as he finished speaking, a feather arrow flew through the air and pierced the leader's back. Before the people on the field could react, feather arrows flew in one after another, pinning the remaining four men in black to the ground.
Mu Lin noticed that each arrow pierced the black-clad assassin's heart.
There were five arrows in total, and every arrow hit the target, and every arrow was fatal.
Mu Lin suddenly calmed down. Her mother was indeed not an ordinary person.
Mu Qinying then remembered that her little daughter was also watching this scene, so she softened her tone and asked, "Is Nannan afraid?"
If it were an ordinary three-year-old child, he would probably be scared and cry, but Mu Lin herself had killed robbers before, so what was there to be afraid of? She shook her head and said innocently, "No, they are bad guys who want to hurt me and my mother."
Mu Qinying finally breathed a sigh of relief.
I shouldn't have been so impulsive just now and killed someone in front of Nannan. Only later did I realize that what if it left her with psychological trauma
Mu Lin's eyes fell on the shocked mother and son, and he asked worriedly, "Is the little brother's mother injured? Mother, can we help them?"
"Can."
Mu Qinying agreed without much hesitation. The mother and son who were being hunted looked really pitiful, and she had the ability to help, so what was wrong with doing a good deed
So he walked over and helped Qianji up.
"My last name is Mu. Madam, this place is not safe. Would you like to take shelter in my humble abode?"
Qianji felt the warm and strong force on his arm and was stunned for a moment, then he smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Thank you Madam Mu for your help. Qianji is grateful. But still... no need. How can I implicate Madam again? I don't know if there are any assassins chasing us. You should leave quickly. If, if we can escape, we will definitely come back to repay Madam for saving our lives..."
Mu Qinying didn't expect her to refuse, and said calmly: "It's okay, come back with me, your leg is seriously injured and needs proper treatment."
Blood was oozing from Qianji's knees and calves, and it looked quite serious.
So Mu Lin watched helplessly as her mother persuaded Qian Ji to bring the mother and son home. Everything was done so easily.
Mother helped Qianji sit on the chair and said to Mu Lin: "The hot water is ready, take your little brother to the bathroom to take a bath."
"OK."
Xiao Muyun didn't move, but looked at his mother worriedly.
Mu Lin tugged at his arm and consoled him, "My mother will take care of Madam Qian's wound. You are getting in the way by staying here. Go take a shower. You are too dirty."
He then nodded and followed her to the purification room.
There was steam coming out of the bathtub, and it had indeed been filled with hot water. There was also a set of simple and clean boys' clothes next to it.
Mu Lin thought that it must have been done by the white chess piece that his mother mentioned, or some other person who was guarding in secret, and he felt more at ease.
"Little brother, you wash yourself. I'm outside the door. Call me if you need anything."
He stared at her with his big, clear eyes and said slowly:
"Thank you very much."
Mu Lin swore that she saw the embarrassment from the little trumpet master...
Oh my god, if this happened in Yingzhou, how could her lovely master have so many normal emotions? Mu Lin felt that he had earned something.
Not only the master's childhood, she can also observe the master's appearance when he was young! When Mu Lin thought of those scenes, he felt his heart soften.
Xiao Muyun looked at the little girl standing there with a mysterious smile, hesitantly, not knowing whether he should remind her...
"Girl, I'm going to take a shower. Can you come out now?"
"Oh, oh. Sorry."
Mu Lin smiled at him awkwardly and quickly stepped out.
After standing outside for a while, Mu Lin felt bored and quietly ran back to the main room, where he saw his mother chatting with Qian Ji.
Qianji had changed into a light blue dress, which was exactly her mother's. She had treated her wounds and wiped off the dirt on her body, revealing her willow-shaped eyebrows and star-like eyes, and her fair skin and beautiful appearance. Standing next to her mother, the two beauties, one gorgeous and dazzling, the other elegant and refined, were evenly matched, each with their own merits.
However, as soon as his mother smiled, Mu Lin felt as if she had come down from the fairyland to the mortal world, and was filled with the intoxicating gentleness of the mundane world.
Qianji saw the little girl walking towards him with her short legs and being held in Madam Mu's arms, and she couldn't help but feel envious.
"Sister Mu, your little Mu Lin is so cute, unlike my two boys, one is naughty and the other is mature, not cute at all..."
Speaking of children, Mu Qinying also smiled and said, "No, my daughter is also naughty. She disappeared in the blink of an eye. I don't know where she went to play."
Mu Lin pouted and looked at her mother exposing her shortcomings, feeling quite embarrassed.
Qianji felt a little fond of her, leaned over and squeezed Mu Lin's hand, blinked and said, "Little girl, how old are you?"
Mu Lin grabbed one of her fingers and said in a baby voice, "Auntie, Mu Lin is three years old."
"Our little Mu Lin is a treasure. He looks so cute. Can you hug him, please..."
"No." Mu Lin immediately shook his head and refused.
"why?"
Qianji felt a little hurt. Could it be that she was no longer liked by children
Mu Lin said seriously: "Auntie is injured. It will be more uncomfortable if she can't hold Nannan."
Qianji was stunned. Even she herself did not consider for a moment that such a young child could think so much. And there was also her young son who was not easy to amuse. Have these children become spirits
"Sister Qianji, please forgive me for making a fool of myself."
Mu Qinying was used to it, and calmly freed Qianji's fingers from her daughter's hand.
"As the saying goes, one can tell a person's future from a young age. Little Mu Lin is so smart, he will definitely have great fortune in the future."
Mu Qinying shook her head and stroked her daughter's soft hair. "Fate often plays tricks on people. I just hope that Lin'er grows up happily and lives a peaceful and smooth life."
"Yes, as mothers, don't we all hope that our children will be happy and healthy... It will definitely be as my sister wishes." Qianji also felt a little emotional.
“… Mother.”
At this time, the little boy's gentle voice came from the door, attracting the attention of all three people.
The eyes of Mu Qinying and her daughter lit up at the same time. Whose handsome boy is this? He is so adorable!
The five-year-old boy stood at the door awkwardly. He inherited his mother's beauty. His big eyes were like two watery grapes, and his facial features were delicate and picturesque. His face was rosy after the bath, still with a little baby fat. He pursed his lips a little uneasily. He was wearing a simple white children's clothing, and his half-wet black hair was scattered behind his back, exuding a warm and moist luster like black jade.
Qianji pursed her lips and smiled, feeling a little proud in her heart, this was her most handsome precious son!
