Chapter 423 Arriving in Wind City
Chapter 423 Arriving in Wind City
After getting rescued by Nan Hua, the twins' luck was not that good. They and their father was taken by the soldiers and because they were making so much racket, they were beaten up by the soldiers.
It was to the point that the children were crying so pitifully.
Some other unlucky children were also unfortunate enough to be beaten up. They were not in that bad of condition, but some might need to recover.
The adults were all interrogated.
Those who still chose to support Hai Family would be killed, so they had to make sure that the officials were all saying the truth. It was also because of this that they were not allowed to go back yet.
"They will be fine." Nan Luo snorted.
Feng Ao Kuai passed a look at Nan Luo then tilted his head. "They're only 10-11 years old brats."
"It's not like we hadn't gone to the frontline at that age." Nan Luo scratched the back of his head, confused as to why Feng Ao Kuai would mention that. In his opinion, it was fine for them to see this mess since it would increase their alertness.
Wind City was not that peaceful.
They might even have to get involved in many battles in the future considering that they were located so near the frontline. If the soldiers were lacking, there would be the forced recruitment where every family had to send one male. Unless there was no male at all, they would have to send anyone available.
"They're not you." Nan Hua stared at her twin brother.
Nan Luo felt awkward when he sensed these two's gazes. It was not like he wanted to compare them, but it was Feng Ao Kuai who said it first. "Anyway, Aunt must be waiting for us…."
The other two knew that Nan Luo was trying to change the conversation and chose to follow along with his whim. They knew that it wouldn't be good to try to turn the conversation back.
The carriage soon arrived in Feng Qian Shao's Residence and the gate opened even before the servants went to knock. It was clear that the people there were already waiting for these three to return.
They got down the carriage one by one.
Some of the servants had strange expression when they saw that Nan Hua was sharing the same carriage with her brother and cousin. Nan Hua knew the reason, but she was not interested in squabbling with these servants.
"Let's go inside."
"Mhm."
The three of them had only entered when Nan Si Qiao rushed out. A servant was following her, carrying a scarf while persuading Nan Si Qiao to slow down.
"Madam, it's winter. Please wear the scarf," The servant was helpless when she saw Nan Si Qiao's look.
"Mother," Feng Ao Kuai was the first to greet. He furrowed his eyebrows. "Don't run, Mother. The road is slippery."
"It's fine, Ah Kuai."
Nan Si Qiao beamed when she saw the three of them. When she heard the news of Kuai City was holding rebellions, she had been worried sick about these children's safety. But seeing that they were fine now, the rock in her heart dropped to the ground.
She was glad.
"Aunt, listen to Brother Kuai," Nan Luo chimed in.
Nan Hua also nodded her head.
At this time, Nan Si Qiao had arrived before them. She stretched her hand and checked on Feng Ao Kuai's face, turning his face to the side to check on his wounds. Even though the method was somewhat childish, Feng Ao Kuai let his mother did as she wished.
"Mother…" Feng Ao Kuai called out helplessly.
"You should have been more careful." Nan Si Qiao sighed. She patted her son's head. "Come inside and have lunch with me."
"Yes, Mother."
"Also, Hua'er, Ah Luo, come over here."
The two of them were helpless and could only let Nan Si Qiao to check on their face. It was clear that Nan Si Qiao would not rest easy until she found out that they were totally fine. Nan Luo smiled helplessly, feeling warm from the concern that Nan Si Qiao showed to him.
They might not be Nan Si Qiao's children, but Nan Si Qiao treated them as if she was their mother.
This was also the reason why they were willing to let her check on them like this.
"We're not wounded, Mother."
"Luo is lying. He was wounded in his arm but it had healed, Mother." Feng Ao Kuai looked at his cousin.
Nan Luo's face turned awkward. Thankfully, his arms no longer hurt because the wound had healed after some time. However, it was still something that he didn't want to let Nan Si Qiao knew.
"It's…."
Nan Si Qiao raised Nan Luo's arm. "Is it still hurt?"
"No, Aunt. It has healed. Hua'er helped me."
Nan Hua noticed the predicament her twin brother was in. She knew that if they didn't say anything, Nan Si Qiao would surely pull him over to have a complete body check. "Aunt, Luo is fine."
"Really?"
"He has healed completely."
It has been almost a week since Nan Luo was wounded, so it would be weirder if his wound hadn't healed yet.
Nan Si Qiao looked at the three of them one by one and felt relieved from the bottom of her heart. "Let's go inside and eat. Ah Qian is already waiting for us."
Feng Ao Qian?
The three of them knew that Feng Ao Qian was only two years old right now. How could it be possible for a brat who still hadn't understood anything to be waiting for them? However, they didn't say anything to their aunt (mother).
Knowing that the children would return, the servants had prepared sumptuous lunch. There were a lot of dishes prepared on the table.
"Eat a lot. This winter will be quite cold."
"It shouldn't be as bad as the one in Han Zhong City, Mom," Feng Ao Kuai consoled. He knew that his mother couldn't stand the cold the most, so he always paid more attention to her when it was Winter.
Nan Si Qiao nodded. "Yes, it shouldn't be."
They all ate together in a warm atmosphere. The lunch was calming and gave a sense of peace for the children.
