Chapter 136 Entrustment
Ma Huixin looked down and saw that the person who grabbed his arm was not Wang Ping'an's mother, but Taoist Xuanqing. She was surprised and said, "Master, what are you doing? Are you afraid that I will harm the child?"
"My dear girl, although I don't know who you are, I can still see that you are a kind person and will not harm Ping An!"
Taoist Xuanqing shook his head. He was not just saying this casually. He really knew how to judge people. He said:
"This is not an ordinary jade pendant, it is a precious talisman jade pendant. Although I don't know what the talisman is, I think it should be a top-notch treasure. You need it more than peace right now!"
"Taoist Priest..."
When Ma Huixin wanted to say something, Taoist Xuanqing interrupted her and said, "Girl, I can also see that the bloody smell on your body has not dissipated yet. You must have been ambushed. Maybe you are just happy about it, so you should wear the talisman jade pendant yourself!"
Ma Huixin subconsciously turned her head to look at Dai Zhishang beside her. It was her first time to come to the Wang family and also her first time to meet Taoist Master Xuanqing.
Taoist Master Xuanqing couldn't possibly know her situation!
Dai Zhishang explained: "Miss Ma, after we met and got the news... ahem, we rushed to Wang's house as soon as possible. I can arrange someone to report the news first!"
Ma Huixin nodded subconsciously.
"Miss, this jade pendant is a relic given to you by the Madam. She said it can protect your life at a critical moment, so you must not throw it away no matter what!"
Xiang Qiao was nervous and spoke quickly. As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Ma Huixin open her mouth. She probably knew what she would say and spoke first:
"I know that their family saved our lives, and their kindness is as heavy as a mountain. Madam has taught us since we were young that we should repay a drop of kindness with a spring of gratitude.
But we still have dozens of miles to go, and we don’t know what kind of dangers we will encounter. How about we wait until we reach the county town and then come back to repay them for saving our lives?”
Ma Huixin smiled and did not tell Xiang Qiao that this trip to the county town would be dangerous, otherwise she would not have been ambushed by the men in black on the road. No one knew how many dangers were waiting for her on the road ahead.
Even if Xu Qing sent a pigeon to the Yangchuan Escort Agency to ask for reinforcements, she could not guarantee that she could make it to the county town alive.
Not to mention the chance to come back and repay the favor!
If someone wanted to kill her, how could a mere jade pendant save her life?
She doesn't want to go to the underworld with regrets!
"Master, please let go of me first. Besides wanting to repay you for saving my life, I also have something else that I want to trouble you all for!"
Ma Huixin smiled faintly and said, "After the ambush not long ago, I clearly know that there will be many dangers waiting for me on the road ahead.
I don’t have much hope of making it to the county town alive, so I have to trouble you to help take care of Xiangqiao!”
Xiang Qiao said angrily: "Miss, I want to go with you. Even if I die, I want to die with you!"
"What's the point of you coming with me? Are you going to help me or to cause trouble for me?"
Ma Huixin snorted coldly, looked at the Wang family with pleading eyes, and said:
“During this period of time, I’ll have to trouble you to help take care of my maid. If I can make it to the county town alive, I’ll arrange for someone to come back and pick her up.
If, if... there is no other way, I will trouble you to help find a suitable family for this girl and marry her off!"
"Miss, since you think I'm causing trouble, I'll leave first..."
As she spoke, Xiang Qiao took out a dagger that she always carried with her at her waist and was about to give herself a fatal blow.
"Pfft!"
A wisp of magic power hit Xiang Qiao's wrist, causing her to groan in pain. Her right hand loosened and the dagger she was holding tightly fell to the ground.
Ma Huixin hugged Xiangqiao and angrily scolded, "Why are you so stupid?"
Xiang Qiao burst into tears, and the smile on her face that was hard to conceal looked particularly strange. She said:
"Miss, your wife and I saved my life, otherwise I would have starved to death on the roadside. From the bottom of my heart, I have already regarded you and your wife as my relatives.
Although Xiangqiao knows that she is not worthy!
Now that the Madam is gone, Xiangqiao only has you as her relative. Since Xiangqiao can't stop you from going to die, and you don't want Xiangqiao to die with you, then Xiangqiao can only go first!" Ma Huixin scolded: "What do you mean by worthy or not? We are master and servant in name, but sisters in reality. You have to live well for me. Did you hear me?"
"My lady, since you know that going to the county town is a dead end, why do you insist on going to the county town?"
Liu Dongzhu advised: "How about you stay at our house for a while to recuperate?"
Ma Huixin smiled and said, "Madam Wang, my father is dead. I am going to the county town to attend my father's funeral!"
Liu Dongzhu said awkwardly: "I was too talkative!"
"Nothing. I haven't met my father very many times. I don't know why, but after he left, I felt relieved for a long time!"
Ma Huixin smiled and said, "Please accept this jade pendant!"
in fact.
She hadn't said anything else. She wished her father was dead. She was also resentful. Why did her father leave so late?
Who made her mother die of depression because of her father!
"Okay, I'll take it..."
Liu Dongzhu was about to take the jade pendant handed over by Ma Huixin, when Wang Lin hurriedly said, "Dongzhu, this is the relic of this girl's mother, and it is a treasure that can save her life!"
Liu Dongzhu gave Wang Lin a reassuring look, took the jade pendant handed over by Ma Huixin, and saw that she breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her shoulders.
It can be roughly guessed that Ma Huixin thought that her time was running out and she wanted to repay her gratitude in time, not wanting to go to the underworld with regrets.
Liu Dongzhu took off the talisman box around his neck.
Ma Huixin looked at the wooden sign handed over by Liu Dongzhu, her face full of confusion.
Liu Dongzhu explained: "Gifts are always appropriate. This wooden plaque is my most precious treasure besides the safety of our family. Please don't despise it!"
"Why would you dislike it?"
Ma Huixin took the talisman box and solemnly hung it around her neck. Her face was filled with joy, as if she had obtained some treasure. She asked, "Before I leave, I would like to meet the Flying Eagle Swordsman. Is that possible?"
Liu Dongzhu smiled apologetically.
"I see!"
Ma Huixin sighed slightly and turned to leave when she saw Xiang Qiao following her. She frowned slightly and wanted to say something.
Xiang Qiao spoke first, "Miss, please let me go to the county town with you!"
Ma Huixin opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she swallowed the words back and changed her words: "Let's go to the King of Hell to find my mother together!"
"it is good!"
Xiang Qiao's eyes sparkled, and there was no trace of fear on her face.
Wang Lin looked at the backs of Ma Huixin and Xiangqiao as they left, feeling a little depressed. He took off the talisman box from his neck and pleaded, "Master Dai, I want to trouble you for something!"
