Chapter 174 Luoyun Town
At noon that day, everyone stopped to rest for an hour, mainly to let the mules have a rest. Two mules were driven to Su'an by Zheng Da and others and then seamlessly driven back to Ling Village. After only resting for a few hours, they were on the road again. These two mules were the most tired and would soon go on strike if they didn't rest.
It just so happened that the people in the carriage got out and walked around to stretch their stiff hands and feet.
During the break, Su He told everyone that they could take the water route. If they took the land route, they could leave the mule behind, but it would take two months, while taking the water route would only take 20 days, which meant they would have to sell the mule.
The whole team was discussing it.
By the time we arrived at the inn and rested, there was still no result.
Wang Laowu was thinking about driving the mule on the official road. He also wanted to take a few chances to be searched and enrich his family's assets.
Dali's family would rather take the water route. After all, Dali's grandmother is old and in poor health. Taking the water route will help them get to Guangyuan quickly so that they can slowly recuperate.
The next day was New Year's Day, and the 74 people pooled their money and went to the restaurant next to the inn for dinner. They booked the entire hall, 75 people plus the 15-member escort team, and the hall was full.
Wang Fugui and the others ordered some wine, and Grandpa started drinking before he even took a bite of his food. Normally, Sun would never allow him to drink, but this time she kept silent.
Grandpa's table is reserved for people who drink, and the others form their own teams, including the children.
Miaomiao pulled Tiantian, Mutou Tietou and Chen Wen, and the five eggs also followed.
Su He was standing the whole time, eating and chatting at one table, and then running over to join in the fun when someone at another table was chatting excitedly. Yanzhi and Juhua were originally eating honestly, but when they saw Su He doing this, they followed suit. In the end, most of the people were running around, and grandpa was holding a glass of wine and bragging there.
"I'm not saying this, but my granddaughter was different from others when she was born. My daughter said she saw a Bodhisattva before she was born. Can you just see a Bodhisattva? Tell me, our Lotus is amazing!"
As expected of grandpa, he was grandpa's younger brother. He was quite supportive. "Yes, I heard from my niece that before she was born, the Bodhisattva appeared in her dream and said that a fairy boy would be sent down to her. Guess how he found the fairy boy? When our lotus flower was born, its two hands formed into the shape of a flower. My brother named it Lotus at that time. Lotus means the most noble."
Su He's face flushed all of a sudden. What kind of nonsense were these two old men talking about? They actually boasted like this. What the grandfather said was even more shameful. What about nobleness and making hands into the shape of a flower? This old man usually doesn't do his job. I don't know where he heard this nonsense from.
Su He winked at Wang Fugui, signaling him to stop it immediately, but Wang Fugui actually clapped.
Zheng Da and the people from the escort agency also joined in the commotion.
Just when Su He's toes dug three meters out of the ground, Chen Wen shouted, "Uncle!"
Yes, my uncle is not normal either.
uncle?
Su He looked at Chen Wen running towards the door, only to see a middle-aged man in a royal blue robe and a black cloak hugging Chen Wen.
"Stinky boy, I finally found you."
The person found Su He in the crowd in the next second and said, "He Hua, long time no see."
Su He immediately adjusted his state, walked towards the door with a smile on his face, and greeted Zhao Qingli, who looked exhausted. "Long time no see, Second Master."
Zhao Qingli nodded and said, "I'll take Awen away. We'll talk in detail tomorrow morning."
"Uncle, I want to stay here."
Chen Wen didn't want to leave his friends. They had a good relationship and even agreed to feed the cows together in the evening.
"You'll be able to see them tomorrow, with your uncle tonight."
"OK then."
Chen Wen had been missing his family for a long time, so he obediently didn't insist.
Zhao Qingli nodded politely to Su He and left with Chen Wen.
"Mutou Tietou, Miaomiao Tiantian, see you tomorrow!"
"See you tomorrow."
Mu Tou and others responded loudly.
"Master Wen has found his family, so we don't need to send him to Yunhe anymore? Then we can..."
Wang Zhi was patted by Wang Bin next to him, and he immediately came to his senses, opened his mouth but didn't say anything.
Su He looked at the puzzled Zheng Da and explained quietly.
"Awen is the grandson of my former master. We originally wanted to escort him back to Yunhe, but who would have thought that his uncle would come to look for him? This is good, and we feel relieved."
Zheng Da recalled the appearance of Zhao Qingli just now. He looked like a wealthy master.
"That's right. We are relieved too. We can meet again in Yunhe later."
Su He nodded, smiled and raised his glass to everyone.
"Family, Happy New Year, tomorrow is another new day."
"Happy New Year!"
Everyone followed Su He and cheered loudly, and the shopkeeper and the waiter beside them also watched with smiles.
"Boss, I don't know where these people came from. They don't look like a caravan. How could there be old people and children in a caravan? I really don't understand."
The waiter couldn't figure it out. The group of people in the hall looked like they had no money, but they booked eight tables for a banquet, filling up the entire hall.
"Who cares where it comes from? As long as we get the money, that's all."
The shopkeeper has seen much more people than the waiter, and the principle he abides by is to make money well and mind his own business.
At this meal before the New Year, everyone ate very slowly, and my grandpa and his friends were extremely drunk. My grandma endured it to the end and scolded her husband and brother-in-law, asking them to drink a little, but they didn't understand what "a little" meant.
In the end, Zheng Da and his men helped carry the person back to the nearby inn. Su He saw that it was almost time, so he shouted for everyone to go back and wash up. Everyone greeted the arrival of the new year refreshed.
Chen Wen, on this side, followed his uncle out of the door and started chattering non-stop, and he was still talking until the two of them lay down.
"Mu Tou, Tie Tou and I hid in a corner. Lotus gave us the opportunity to escape. Miao Miao was very good. She found three thousand taels of silver in her shoes. She can calculate faster than me. Alas, I couldn't answer any of the three questions. The winner got a piece of gold."
Chen Wen rolled around on the bed in anger.
Zhao Qingli was thoughtful. He knew that Su He was not someone who would suffer a loss, but he did not expect that she would dare to attack the traffickers. Not only did she succeed, but she also robbed them of their money. He had never seen anyone dare to rob traffickers of their money.
He didn't suffer any loss when he encountered a black village, and he was able to settle down with so many people. If he were a man, he would have a bright future.
Zhao Qingli arrived at Luoyun Town yesterday. He searched for a whole day but could not find any clues about Chen Wen. He couldn't sleep at night so he went out for a walk. Then he heard someone calling "Hehua".
Zhao Qingli thought it was a name and surname, and never expected that Su He would really be here. Hearing the people inside say that Su He was a fairy boy, he walked in unconsciously, but when he looked, he was shocked to find that his nephew was also there.
What does it mean to search for something everywhere but still not find it, only to find it without any effort?
That's it.
When he saw his nephew whom he had finally found, he never wanted to let him out of his sight again.
"We will return tomorrow. Your parents and grandma are very worried. Awen, don't be reckless next time."
Chen Wen's chattering mouth finally shut.
"Uncle, I wanted to go to the border to fight in order to earn a royal title for my mother. Who knew that there are conditions for joining the army? I am not old enough."
Chen Wen was quite frustrated as he still hadn't figured it out clearly.
"You've never even killed a chicken before, so why would you want to go to the border? Being a soldier means killing people. Do you dare?"
Zhao Qingli did not laugh at Chen Wen's naivety. This nephew was kind-hearted by nature. As long as he was guided, he would have a bright future and would naturally support his sister in the future.
"I dare! I followed everyone to beat the bad guys the day before yesterday, and I was divided into two."
Chen Wen covered his mouth. Then he remembered that He Hua had said not to tell anyone.
Zhao Qingli laughed secretly. While Chen Wen was taking a shower, he had already checked his clothes and found more than three hundred taels of silver and ten gold peanuts in them.
Chen Wen was recognized and rescued by Su He, so it was obvious who gave him the silver. He also remembered that he had given Su He a bag of golden peanuts.
"Did Lotus give you the silver in your purse?"
Chen Wen thought carefully for a while before answering Zhao Qingli, "When we arrived at the gate of Su'an City and the earthquake came, He Hua gave us some silver and told us to protect ourselves and others if we got separated. I also have some silver, and I have more than others. He Hua originally said that she would ask someone to send a letter to you when we arrived in Su'an County, but we were delayed by the earthquake. Today we are still discussing whether to take the water route so that we can get there faster."
Chen Wen wanted to travel by water, but the people in the team were reluctant to give up their mules and horse-drawn carriages.
But now he doesn't have to worry, he just needs to follow his uncle.
