Yi Xin as a concubine

Chapter 170 Wei Yu Returns

Chu Xingchen understood that the little girl was worried.

Wei Yu had spent the longest time with her. He was a calm man and took care of her like a little sister. He did more and said less. Being around the little girl made her feel reliable and at ease.

He reached out and hugged her tightly, gently patted her back, and silently comforted her. But in his heart, he was thinking: I have to spread the news and let the people below keep an eye on Wei Yu's whereabouts, and I can't let anyone get into trouble.

Time flies, and a few days have passed. The sun is warmer and the spring breeze is gentle. Xin Baoer is allowed to leave the yard by Mother Lin and Lancao.

The land is thriving, willow trees are sprouting, and the scene outside the courtyard has become a completely different place.

The freshly turned soil was filled with the scent of spring, and because there were no other people or animals in the house, there was no fence.

Xin Baoer looked at the women working in the fields and thought: They are quite capable. The land was divided into pieces, which looked neat and orderly.

"After a while, sow the seeds and wait for them to grow. They will be green and beautiful. They will be more pleasing to the eye than those flowers and grasses." Mother Lin said happily, clapping her hands.

When Mother Lin was young, she was an expert in tending the vegetable garden in the village. If she had not married the wrong person, she would probably be guarding a few acres of fertile land and living a hard life now. Thinking about it this way, I really don’t know whether the hardships she experienced in her youth are a blessing or a curse today.

"Then this land will be under your management from now on, okay?" Xin Baoer was also happy to see this. People can live a fulfilling life only when they have something to do.

"That's great. I will take good care of the girl and make sure she has fresh vegetables every day." Mother Lin agreed with a smile.

After saying that, he excitedly rolled up his sleeves and walked into the field. His legs and feet were so nimble that he seemed a few years younger.

"It would be nice to live here forever. At least it would be peaceful and comfortable." Zhao Xian walked over, took off his special gloves, and said with emotion.

Xin Baoer smiled but didn't answer. On the surface, everything seemed calm, but who knows what kind of bloody storm was going on behind the scenes.

"Cao'er, go ask Wangchuan if he has finished what I asked him to do?" Xin Baoer squatted down, stretched out her tender white fingers, pinched the soft soil, looked up and gave the order.

She didn't know how to farm, but she saw her grandparents doing it when she was a child, so she followed their example and wanted to try breeding in advance.

He did what he said. That night, Wangchuan transported wooden pallets through the tunnel into Xin Baoer's house.

The woman who came with the tray was weathered, but her heroic appearance could not be concealed. After several months of experience, she looked like a sword with a blade, sharp and full of determination.

"Ayu, you're finally back. Let me see if you're injured."

When Xin Baoer saw Wei Yu, she no longer cared about the trays. She ran over, grabbed Wei Yu's arm, and looked him up and down.

"You've lost weight. You can't eat or sleep well outside. I'll ask Lancao to make you something delicious."

The girl was so excited about the long-awaited reunion that she even forgot about Chu Xingchen who was reading a book beside the warm kang.

"Bao'er, let Wei Yu go wash up, eat something, and have a good rest first, then I'll come and reminisce with you."

He couldn't bear to see the little girl touching another woman in front of him, so he couldn't help but remind her.

"Baoer, I'm fine, just a little tired from the journey. I'll tell you in detail about what happened along the way tomorrow." Wei Yu knew how to read people's faces. Seeing the man's expression, she tactfully slipped away.

Xin Baoer really wanted to hear Wei Yu talk about what she had seen and heard during her time away, but seeing how tired she looked, she couldn't bear it, so she loosened her hand and let her go reluctantly.

But even though they didn't say a few words, Wei Yu's return still made Xin Baoer feel at ease, and with Chu Xingchen's company, she finally slept well.

"Baoer, get up and exercise!"

A long-lost familiar voice sounded outside the door, causing Xin Baoer, who was sleeping soundly, to frown habitually. Chu Xingchen, who was also woken up, couldn't help but pinch the little girl's nose in a funny way, and his voice was gentle and doting.

"Little lazy bug, get up, don't miss Wei Yu anymore."

The confused little guy suddenly turned over and sat up.

Chu Xingchen looked at the possessed little girl in front of him in astonishment. Just when he was thinking about whether to get her clothes, he saw the little girl lean back again and fall back on the pillow with a plop.

He muttered in despair, "You stinky Ayu, I shouldn't have waited for you to come back."

Chu Xingchen, who watched the whole process, couldn't help laughing.

He got up and dressed first, then shouted to the door, "Come in!"

After Wei Yu and Lan Cao came in, Chu Xingchen simply washed up, took one last look at the little girl who was playing tricks on the bed, smiled and walked out happily.

A good man should know his limits and give his woman some time to spend with her friends.

After morning exercises, Xin Baoer lay on the dining table with a look of despair, eating breakfast in small bites without any image, like a patient with weak limbs.

"When I'm not here, is there no one to supervise her exercise?" Wei Yu pointed at the limp Xin Baoer and asked the people around him in disbelief.

She had a good sleep last night and woke up feeling energetic today. After exercising, she felt even more refreshed.

On the other hand, it was obvious at a glance that Xin Baoer did not exercise well according to her requirements, and he looked at Xin Baoer with a bit of dissatisfaction in his eyes.

Xin Baoer caught sight of the instructor's serious face from the corner of her eye, smiled guiltily, and straightened her body involuntarily, although to Wei Yu, she still looked lazy.

However, Wei Yu still looked away. Since she had acknowledged Xin Baoer as her master, she should abide by her duties. She should be appropriately intimate and give advice, but she had to find the right degree.

After dinner, the two of them walked into Xin Baoer's bedroom one after the other.

"Why do you become more silent and serious after going out?" Xin Baoer asked jokingly while pouring tea.

When Wei Yu heard this, he was in a trance for a moment, and his cold face gradually showed compassion and desolation after experiencing many vicissitudes of life.

"It seems that this trip out is not a pleasant one," Xin Baoer smiled quietly and gently, and put the warm tea in her hands, "Tell me about it!"

Xin Baoer has this kind of temperament. She just does nothing and looks at you quietly, which can calm your heart.

"It is said that the world is very difficult nowadays. It is hard to imagine unless you see it with your own eyes. Those girls were skinny and dull-looking. They were sold like animals by their own biological parents. They did not care what kind of person the buyer was, whether he was good or evil, and whether he would treat their children well."

"I brought back more than 30 people this time, most of whom I rescued secretly, but there were many others that I couldn't save. I could only watch them come out of one wolf den and be pushed into another."

Wei Yu's voice was choked with sobs, his eyes were red, his fists were clenched tightly, and the teacup in his hand was already shaking.

Xin Baoer hurried forward to rescue the poor cup and prevent Wei Yu from getting too excited and hurting himself.

"Don't be sad, Ayu." Xin Baoer patted Wei Yu's hand gently, "You have tried your best. There are too many sufferings and injustices in this world. What one or two of us can do is limited. But as long as we persist and change little by little, one day more people will live a happy life."

Wei Yu took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. "I know, but every time I think of those children suffering in Xinbaoer, my heart feels like being stabbed by needles. I always think that if my kung fu was better and I was stronger, maybe I could save more people."

"I understand how you feel." Xin Baoer's eyes flashed with memories, and she quickly regained her determination and said, "But we all know in our hearts that sadness will not have any effect on them. Only if we become stronger can we protect more people. And we are doing this great thing now."

"Let's not think about other things for now. Let's think about how to place and train these girls, how to make them grow up in a short period of time and strengthen our team."

Wei Yu nodded, her expression gradually becoming resolute. "You are right. True strength is not the courage of one person alone, but a group of like-minded people working together. I will find a way to make them useful as soon as possible and become qualified guardians."
