Chapter 1641: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 1641: Someone Wants to Open Our Door
Meng Qi walked to her side and handed her a piece of bread. "Ah Han, have something to eat."
Meng Han raised her head, her eyes red. "Brother, I want to go out."
Meng Qi's face didn't look any better, with prominent red bloodshot eyes and a dirty appearance. Upon hearing his sister's words, he let out a long sigh. "Wait a little longer, just one more day. If there's no activity outside, I'll go out and check."
"But I'm very worried. Father and Uncle haven't returned yet. We can't easily go out to buy food now, in case those bandits show up again. Staying here and waiting to die, I'd rather go out and confront them," Meng Han said anxiously.
Meng Qi clenched his fingers tightly, hesitated for a while, and patted her shoulder. "Don't talk nonsense. Have you forgotten what Uncle told us?"
Thinking of the instructions Meng Pei gave before leaving, Meng Han could only suppress the restlessness in her heart. She weakly drooped her shoulders and said, "I know, I won't act impulsively."
Though she said that, tears still kept rolling down her cheeks.
Meng Qi sighed again, not saying anything more, and distributed the bread to others.
When he reached a corner, he paused for a moment and handed two pieces of bread forward.
The two people sitting on the ground looked up, and one of them looked at him with anticipation. "Ah Qi... I..."
After handing the bread to her, Meng Qi turned and walked away, not willing to speak with her.
"Ah Qi, Mother knows she was wrong. Please talk to Mother," the voice behind him became more urgent.
Meng Qi still ignored her and quickly returned to Meng Han's side.
Seeing the two siblings together, Tao Shi, who was sitting on the floor, felt her eyes welling up with tears again. The others in the secret room turned their heads to look at her, making Tao Shi feel embarrassed. She lowered her head and silently nibbled on the bread.
The others snorted with disdain, turned their heads away, and refused to look at her or speak to her.
Meng Qi sat beside Meng Han, took a sip of water, finished the bread, and couldn't help but touch the soft sword at his waist.
If... Meng Yunzheng were here, how would he handle this situation?
His father had said that this cousin of his was very capable. At the age of ten, he had infiltrated the enemy's side and acted foolishly in front of the person who killed his mother, ultimately leading that person to the execution ground.
Now, he had avenged his mother and immediately passed the imperial examination, becoming a scholar.
At the age of ten, what was he doing? Meng Qi's feelings towards Meng Yunzheng were complicated, a mix of jealousy and unwillingness, but more deeply, he admired him.
Having such an elder brother, shouldn't he be proud?
The other had even given him a soft sword. The things he could do at ten, he, now at sixteen, surely could do as well. Taking care of the people in the secret room, what was that compared to what he could do?
Just as he was thinking like this, a terrified voice came from Gao Shu, who was guarding the entrance to the secret passage. "There's someone outside, someone wants to open our door."
Everyone in the secret room was suddenly startled and stood up, gathering in the middle.
Meng Qi and Meng Han's expressions changed, and they hurriedly walked towards the secret passage. Indeed, they could hear movement outside.
"Don't worry, the door is locked from the inside. They can't open it from outside," Meng Han whispered, "Could it be father and Uncle returning?"
