At this moment, Xiao Wu stepped forward to ease his friend's worries and said to the people inside the door, "You husband and wife don't need to be afraid, we...cough cough..." "He turned his head and looked at Tan Anjun with an aggrieved expression.
"Hahaha... hahaha..." The big men behind him couldn't hold back anymore and burst into laughter.
Hearing Xiao Wu address the people inside as "You husband and wife," Tan Anjun felt a pang in his heart and slapped him hard on the back of his head. He glared at him angrily and said, "Shut up if you don't know how to speak!"
The siblings inside the door, Zhang Er and Zhang San, couldn't make sense of what was happening outside and didn't know what these people were up to.
"Ahem, um, is there a misunderstanding here?" Tan Anjun asked, his fist against his lips, coughing twice. He felt it was important to figure out who these two people were.
Yang Lan'er was confused. She could understand each word separately, but couldn't comprehend the meaning when put together. She looked at her fourth brother in bewilderment and pointed to the man outside, "What did he say?"
"He said he's the owner of this house," Yang Cunyi said, also stunned. "The owner of this house, Tan Anjun, my brother-in-law?"
Yang Cunyi was anxious to confirm and shouted outside, "Who are you? State your name!"
"Tan Anjun," came the reply.
Tan Anjun, really Tan Anjun. Yang Cunyi looked at his sister, who was staring blankly at the man in front of her.
In Yang Laner's memory, Tan Anjun's appearance was blurry. She only knew that he was tall and well-built.
Yang Cunyi cautiously opened the door and saw four or five men outside, the one in the front somewhat familiar. He turned to his sister and found her staring at the man in front of her.
And Yang Lan'er looked at the man outside, and memories about him began to surface, gradually overlapping. He was Tan Anjun, tall and well-built, with healthy bronze skin, sharp, chiseled features, and deep, mysterious eyes that conveyed a sense of urgency. His straight, prominent nose and thin, red lips were now adorned with a dazzling smile.
"Lan'er."
With a call of her name, Yang Lan'er snapped out of her trance. Her heart was now pounding, and she stared blankly at him, nodding her head.
"Lang Er" Tan Anjun hurriedly walked forward and squeezed Yang Laner's small hand, looking at her petite figure, he said, "These years, you have suffered a lot." Yang Laner felt embarrassed and couldn't meet his affectionate gaze. She said, "I haven't suffered." It was her predecessor who suffered. She asked him, "When did you come back?"
Tan Anjun lifted his thin lips and said, "Let's talk about that later. Let me introduce you first." He turned to the people outside the door and pointed to Su Yongyuan, "He is Su Yongyuan, and the other three are my guards, Xiaowu, Xiaoliu, and Xiaojiu."
After Tan Anjun finished introducing them, Su Yongyuan came forward with a smile and said, "Hello, sister-in-law. Jun and I are good friends. You can call me Brother Su. I will trouble you to take care of me in the future." The other three bowed respectfully and said, "Hello, madam."
Yang Laner nodded at them and turned to her fourth brother who was standing beside her, "Cunyi, let's go inside and see what we need to bring. We will pack up and leave." She couldn't stand Tan Anjun holding her hand and pinching it from time to time. Standing beside him made her heart flutter.
Tan Anjun asked, "Where are you going to pack up and leave to?"
Under Tan Anjun's unwavering gaze, Yang Laner felt pressured and explained, "It's dry now, as you can see. Everyone in the village has fled. Our family has escaped to the interior of Mount Dachong."
"Oh," Tan Anjun replied.
"Ah! Let's hurry up and pack. We have to go back before it gets dark," Yang Laner deliberately shouted, shook off his hand, and went inside to pack.
Tan Anjun looked at his empty hand, then looked up at the clear noon sky with a carefree smile on his lips. His little wife was embarrassed.
--Afterword--
