Chapter 124: Past Kindness Rewarded Today
Xu Miaoniang was delighted at first when she grabbed the bamboo pole, but then, under the urging of everyone, she was stuck there trembling and unable to move, which made everyone anxious. Finally, several girls on the boat helped together. Cheng Su could not help it, and snatched the head of the bamboo pole from Xu Miaoniang's hand and grabbed it, urging Xu Miaoniang to slide down the pole quickly, otherwise he would threaten to throw her into the river. This man was afraid that he would delay more time.

After waiting for a long time for Xu Miao Niang to land on the boat with the bamboo pole, as soon as she stood still, she hurriedly stretched out her hand and shouted to Yi Ge'er above, "Hurry, Yi Ge'er, come down quickly!"

Gu Qing didn't understand what was going on. He just thought that his benefactor would rather fall down than not protect the child. Gu Qing thought that this was a relative of his benefactor, so he quickly handed the bamboo pole to Yi Ge'er. The child was light, so he asked him to hold the bamboo pole tightly, and he caught the child in one go.

At this time, the flow of people behind him was out of control, with more and more people coming and getting more and more crowded. Li Yaoguang looked back in the midst of his busy schedule and saw that his relatives were still on the shore, so he urged them to leave anxiously.

"Aunt and uncle, hurry up, we can't hold on any longer."

If you use the same trick on them for a long time, and they don't kill or injure anyone, everyone will be on guard and not afraid, and the situation will be difficult to control.

Cheng Su knew he couldn't delay any longer, so he grabbed the bamboo pole and held it tightly. Cheng Su urged his wife, "Meixue, hurry up and slide down."

Yu Meixue also knew that the situation was urgent. Seeing that her niece was no match for her opponent and the space around her was getting smaller and smaller, if she retreated any further she would fall into the water. Knowing that there was no time to delay, she didn't care about her ugly and awkward posture, and slid down smoothly holding the bamboo pole.

Before her feet even touched the ground, Yu Meixue hurriedly shouted toward the shore, "Su Lang, Guang Er, General Shen, come down quickly!"

Li Yaoguang, who had no place to retreat and was about to fall into the water, saw his uncle stretched out the bamboo pole but had not yet gotten down, and urged him again, "Shen Yue, protect my uncle and get down quickly."

Shen Yue looked at Li Yaoguang, then at the crowd in front of him who seemed to have lost their minds and could only rush around randomly. He turned around and took Cheng Su's place, holding the pole, "Brother Cheng, hurry up."

As soon as the person slipped down, Shen Yue shouted to Gu Qing and others on the boat, "Retreat!"

He stretched out his hand and quickly grabbed Li Yaoguang's waist, who was still electrocuting people, picked up Li Yaoguang and her brother and leaped, and almost landed on the deck together with Cheng Su, who had changed the bamboo pole into an upright sliding pole and slid down the pole.

Seeing that his benefactor and his entourage had all boarded the boat, Gu Qing did not dare to delay and shouted into the cabin, "Hurry up!" The pleasure boat that had just been moored began to move quickly.

The family finally escaped from the chaos and danger and survived.

Li Yaoguang wiped her sweat in fear. She didn't notice Xu Miaoniang's little action just now. She hurriedly untied the straps on her body, and asked her brother if he felt any discomfort while untying them.

After the little guy obediently shook his head and said that he was fine, she felt relieved and handed her brother over to his aunt.

Yu Meixue took her son and was worried about Li Yaoguang. What was going on? This boat? This person? It was obviously the first time for her family to come to Wuding City. How could her child have acquaintances? Don't tell her that the owner of the pleasure boat was kind-hearted and saved them from danger?
She didn't believe it, and she wasn't stupid. Why didn't she see anyone rescuing other people on the road?

But before she could ask, Gu Qing came up and asked, "It's a mess outside, why don't you come with me into the cabin to talk?"

Yu Meixue paused, savoring the word "benefactor" that she finally heard clearly this time. She narrowed her eyes and thought, could it be that her child did something big behind her back again? Is it risky? Is it possible to get hurt?
When I looked up, I was met with the soothing gaze of my own child.

Yu Meixue could only suppress her worries, holding her son with one hand, and supporting her husband with the other hand together with Shen Yue, and followed her children and the owner of the pleasure boat into the cabin. Seeing that everyone had left and no one greeted her, Xu Miaoniang's eyes darkened, and then she thought of the threat from Cheng Su before, she bit her lip, glanced at the still crazy and crowded crowd on the shore, and quickly grabbed her brother Yi Ge'er's hand and followed in.

When they got inside and sat down, Gu Qing bowed to Li Yaoguang.

"The incident happened suddenly tonight, and the pleasure boat left in a hurry. There was nothing on the boat. You didn't even offer me a cup of tea. I hope you won't blame me for neglecting you."

Li Yaoguang supported the angry Gu Qing.

"Madam Gu, that's not right. You saved my family from danger, so we should be grateful. Why should we be rude? Besides, it's good enough to be alive in this chaotic war... By the way, Madam Gu, where are you going? Look at the direction, isn't Linhai Pavilion ahead? Are you coming back from outside?"

Facing Li Yaoguang's concern, Gu Qing showed a wry smile.

"Alas, to be honest, when the riot started tonight, my group realized something was wrong and wanted to run away. However, the east city gate was blocked, the city gate hole was sealed, and we found that the road was blocked. We had no choice but to return to the pavilion and prepare to sail the pleasure boat through the waterway and leave from another city gate. However, we didn't expect that the waterway ahead was blocked before we even left the east city..."

Thinking of the thrilling scenes just now, Gu Qing was unable to continue speaking, while others around him could not help but add explanations in time out of fear.

"Yes, yes, benefactor, you may not know, it was so tragic ahead! Many people were not hacked to death but trampled to death!"

"That's right. Some people saw that we had a boat and jumped into the water one after another, like dumplings being dropped into the water. The waterway ahead was blocked and the boat couldn't move at all. That's why Sister Gu had no choice but to bring us back."

"I see..." Li Yaoguang nodded and looked at Shen Yue. The two looked at each other and both heard from everyone that the current situation was serious.

The four gates of Wuding City must have been captured by now, and Wuding City... I wonder what happened to the 50,000-strong army inside and outside the city?
Seeing her benefactor suddenly become solemn, Gu Qing thought that he was worried, so she tried to persuade him.

"Don't worry, benefactor. We can't leave in this situation, and I'm afraid that benefactor..."

Seeing that my benefactor's family is traveling alone, without any maids, servants, house servants or armed guards accompanying them, I am afraid that this does not match the high-class family that my benefactor claims to be. My benefactor is not a girl from a noble family. If she were a girl from a noble family, it would not have been my turn to help just now.

But so what?
The benefactor’s intention to help her was genuine;
It is also true that there is no contempt or disdain for such lowly and homeless people like them;
It is even more true to help you scare away bullies and do evil!
The money we used to help them get back compensation was real money!!!
So, what does it matter if he is a noble person or not? Yes, it is true!

Moreover, compared to a noble person who helps out because he is powerful, the kindness of a benefactor to oneself seems more important and more precious, isn't it?

Gu Qing understood this instantly and did not ask any more questions. Instead, he comforted Li Yaoguang and even revealed the biggest secret of their Linhai Pavilion.

"Don't worry, benefactor. We have a secret room in Linhai Pavilion. If you don't mind, why don't you follow me back to Linhai Pavilion to take shelter for a while? When this storm is over, we can find a chance to leave the city, okay?"
