204 Hometown Streets

However, the fourth prince’s squad dared not approach Su Binglan because it would resemble death.

They witnessed their comrades fall to the ground without even touching the hair on the young lady’s head. They did not even get close to her before dying.

Su Binglan did not want to kill anyone, but she would retaliate with deadly force if someone threatened her life.

The fourth prince shouted, “I gave you imbeciles an order!”

His squad had no choice but to sacrifice themselves needlessly. If they disobeyed their prince’s orders, they would die anyway. Hence the scene once again became chaotic.

“Kill the ones she’s protecting!” The fourth prince could not care less about leaving any survivors, wanting to kill all of them.

Everyone attacked Su Wenxiu, Master Wu, and his two sons in unison, and Su Binglan was too distracted to protect them. Even so, many could not touch the older gentleman and the others.

The fourth prince was outraged and took his spear to deal with Su Binglan. His weapon was suitable for long-ranged battles and could overcome ones who excelled at close combat. That was what the fourth prince thought when attacking the young lady.

Then Su Binglan removed a rope with a dagger tied at the end from her straw bag and used it to la.s.so the prince’s spear, prying it from his hands. She also pulled the fourth prince along with the spear.

“Whoa!” The squad watching below was worried about their prince.

The fourth prince stepped on one of his goons and leaped higher, removing a knife from his belt. Then he stabbed downward from the air, his eyes full of killing intent.

At that moment, two black silhouettes dashed out from the shadows and attacked Su Binglan.

The older gentleman said, “Those are the prince’s sacred guards.”

The secret guards were powerful and cautious of the young lady. Still, Su Binglan started fighting them. The two guards were no match for the young lady, even though they were stronger than the other goons.

However, Su Binglan was fighting against the two guards and could not retreat to protect her second brother and the others. Her eyes were sharp, and she knew she needed to end her fight as soon as possible.

The fourth prince also knew this, so he pointed at the young lady and said, “Kill her now!” After giving the order, he retreated under his secret guards’ protection.

Su Binglan narrowed her eyes as she looked at the prince. Then she threw a dagger at breakneck speed toward the fourth prince’s heart.

The prince was shocked and only survived because of the secret guards by his side. However, he did not expect it to be a twin dagger attack as another dagger followed closely behind the first one, piercing through the prince’s arm.

The force of the dagger was mighty, and the prince’s face turned pale. Moreover, he could see torches not too far away as he stood on the high ground. It meant that the capital guards were heading toward his secret camp.

“Retreat!” The fourth prince left with a team of elites as his squad was no match for the young lady.

Su Binglan led her people and ran away. As for the secret camp, the capital guards quickly discovered it.

…

Su Binglan led the escapees to a fork in the road outside the capital city, and the older gentleman looked at her gratefully. He said, “Thank you for saving our lives, miss.”

Su Binglan said, “There’s no need for niceties. You helped my second brother, so it’s only natural that I save you.”

The older gentleman had instinctively saved Su Wenxiu back then, but he did not expect his moment of kindness to save his two sons.

He opened his mouth and said, “Miss, those people don’t know your brother’s true ident.i.ty. They only think he is my son, so you won’t have to worry since my family will handle the follow-up matters. We will not expose your ident.i.ty.”

Su Binglan nodded, “Thank you very much for that.”

The older gentleman continued, “You’re too kind, miss. We’re the ones who should be thanking you.

“You can call me Uncle Wu. I am the Wu family’s direct descendant. You’ve done us a ma.s.sive favor, so if you have any requests for us, please do not hesitate to ask. That is a token of my grat.i.tude.”

Su Binglan nodded in acceptance. After a simple conversation, both parties parted ways since they could not stay in that area for too long. Thus Su Binglan and Lin Zheng set off with Su Wenxiu.

Su Wenxiu was in a daze the entire time and did not even return to his senses because of how powerful his sister was just now. Still, he looked very proud and excited to have such a capable sister.

…

Since Su Wenxiu had sustained some injuries, he could not travel too quickly. After Su Binglan left for more than a month, the trio finally returned to Su Teng Village.

Lin Zheng was very excited. “I didn’t feel anything special on our hometown streets in the past, but now that we’re back, I feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity. There’s no place like home, as they say.”

Su Wenxiu had recovered from his injuries on the way back to the village. He looked at the streets of his hometown and felt like he was floating with a sense of security. He became misty-eyed as he said, “I’m home.”

Su Wenxiu finally understood what his third uncle meant by feeling homesick. He said, “I won’t go out there again no matter what. I’ll stay here and work instead.”

Su Binglan said smilingly, “Yes, we should stay with our family to live peaceful and stable lives. We will make a living and earn money as well.”

Su Wenxiu sighed. “When I worked in Zhu’s Guests in the past, I heard some businessmen talking about how prosperous it was in the capital. I was looking forward to traveling at that time.

“Not anymore. I feel like it’s not as good as home, no matter how prosperous it is in the capital. I can only peacefully sleep when I’m at home.”

On their way back to the village, Su Binglan told Su Wenxiu about the situation at home. Su Wenxiu was shocked by what he had heard and yearned to go home to see it with his own eyes. Now that they were in the town, he wanted to check out her family’s shops.

Su Binglan knew how her second brother felt, so she said, “Let’s go to the shops and see how they’re doing.”

It was halfway through the afternoon when they arrived at the shop, and it was not too busy. At that moment, Zhou Shan and Li s.h.i.+ were watching the shop.

Meanwhile, Liu Yinyin and Su Wenzhe made sesame seed buns, Chinese hamburgers, and haggis soup in the backyard. They were preparing for the dinner crowd that would arrive during the evening.

Su Wenzhe and his wife had also set up their stalls for the evening, and they would return to the village afterward with Su Fengzhi and his family.

When Liu Yinyin went to the yard to get firewood, she saw Su Wenxiu and Su Binglan. She was so shocked that she immediately dropped the firewood to the ground.

“W-Wenxiu! Binglan!” Liu Yinyin even thought she was hallucinating since she was often dazed and heard someone calling her.

She always thought of her sister-in-law’s return and would excitedly turn to look toward the shop entrance. This time, Liu Yinyin thought she was hallucinating again.

Su Binglan said smilingly, “It’s us, Sister-in-law. We’re back!”

Liu Yinyin asked excitedly, “Is it really you?” Then she shouted toward the stove, “Husband, come quickly! Wenxiu and Binglan are back!”

Su Wenzhe heard his wife’s voice as he was making the sesame buns. He did not care that his hands were full of flour, excitedly running toward his wife.
