Chapter 323 Idiot’s Dream
Half a month later.
In front of the hidden cave, two donkey carts slowly stopped.
As the evening hour approaches, the afterglow of the setting sun has faded, and the mountains and forests are getting a little cooler.
"I'm finally back. I haven't been home for a long time. I miss it so much. I don't know what the situation is like in the village now." Zhu Shunyi sighed, sitting on the back seat of the cart with his arms folded.
"Hahaha, I don't know what the village is like, but, Mingxiu, that kid, won't be urged by his mother to find a wife when he goes back this time, right? My mother said that it seems that he has even thought about making a wish." Lu Zishi patted Zhang Mingxiu's shoulder and joked.
"Don't talk nonsense." Zhang Mingxiu said shyly.
Although now is a good time to study and seek fame, and should not be disturbed by the matter of starting a family, but to be honest, if the girl makes a wish, it is not impossible. After all, marrying her is like marrying a gold nugget.
Thinking of Xu Yuan's face, which was cold and serious, Zhang Mingxiu imagined Xu Yuan's pretty appearance and felt a surge of heat in his heart.
It didn't last long as he felt a cold aura emanating towards him, which frightened Zhang Mingxiu.
When he looked in that direction, he met Gu Qinghan's sinister eyes and his body couldn't help but shrink.
He quickly looked away.
I muttered to myself: I don’t think I have offended him, why does he look like he wants to kill me?
"Qinghan, please control your breath. What are you doing?" Li Junyong patted someone who was walking in front of him and said jokingly.
Feng Juesheng, who was sitting in another car and rushing on the road, looked at Gu Qinghan meaningfully, understood what he meant, and curled his lips slightly.
"You're just dreaming." Luo Xiqing, who was sitting in the back, couldn't help but sneer when he heard this.
"What do you mean?" Zhang Mingxiu was caught off guard by such a sarcastic remark. He was a little embarrassed at first, but then he was frightened by Gu Qinghan's eyes. Now he was a little annoyed and questioned Luo Xiqing who was in another car.
"It doesn't mean anything, it just means the literal meaning." Luo Xiqing curled his lips.
"You..." Zhang Mingxiu was speechless and too angry to speak. He put on his bag and got off the car angrily. He took out the copper coin from his arms and handed it to Feng Juesheng.
"Thank you, Brother Juesheng. I will go back to the village first."
After saying that, he hurried into the cave.
"Can't you be more tactful in your tone? Why be so blunt?" Huang Shao couldn't help but slap Luo Xiqing on the back and advised.
"This is how I speak. I really can't say anything euphemistic. Please excuse me." Luo Xiqing said indifferently.
"Xiqing, I like your personality. It's exactly the same as mine." Li Junyong patted Luo Xiqing on the shoulder and praised him.
"Hahaha, is that so." Luo Xiqing felt a little embarrassed at the moment. He scratched his head and then put on his bag.
"Thank you Qinghan, here is my money, I will get off here."
"it is good."
Gu Qinghan was not polite and took the copper coins handed over by Luo Xiqing.
This is what we agreed on, it’s the cost of renting a car.
A few days before the actual arrival time, Gu Qinghan led these people and their cars out of the city gate in batches together with Li Junyong when the county gate was about to close, creating the illusion that they had just arrived and were sleeping outdoors.
Then in the middle of the night he woke up everyone, including a few of them, under the pretext of changing the night watch.
No one suspected anything and everything went very smoothly.
Early the next morning, which was today, everyone stepped into the county town.
Li Junyong returned the horse-drawn carriage rented by his elder brother, and Gu Qinghan also rented a donkey cart.
Originally, Lin Zhian wanted to lend this carriage to Gu Qinghan, but was rejected by Gu Qinghan.
Feng Juesheng and Lu Zishi also returned the donkey cart they had rented and made do with renting a very cheap, old but spacious donkey cart.
But in the end, they still underestimated the inability of the cheap donkey cart. Eight grown men were squeezed on a cart, but the donkey didn't move a single step.
Gu Qinghan couldn't stand it anymore, so he suggested that the three of them sit in his car and split the rental fee equally, and everyone agreed with this idea.
After going around in circles, I finally returned to a familiar place.
……
"Brother, you're back! Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"
Luo Xile heard the sound of a door being pushed open and turned to look at the gate.
"No, I'm not hungry."
Grandma Luo was sitting on a bench in the yard, also with a happy look on her face, gesturing towards Luo Xiqing.
"Grandma, I have finished the exam. The results will be announced in the county town next month."
"Then brother, don't you have to go to the academy?" Luo Xile asked curiously.
"No need, I'll just study at home and wait for the next exam."
Luo Xile took out a piece of tofu and a piece of pork from his backpack and placed them on the table in the yard. He looked at the things drying on the racks in the yard and said, "What are you doing? Drying such a small fish, it would be better to dry a bigger fish."
When Grandma Pan saw this, she patted Luo Xiqing on the shoulder, waved her hands, and looked helpless.
"Grandma, I bought this with the money I earned on the road. Don't worry, I still have some money on me."
Grandma Pan shook her head and was about to gesture, but then she paused, patted Luo Xile and gestured.
"Got it, grandma." Luo Xile pouted and looked up to say to her eldest brother: "Brother, in fact, Sister Yuncai has come to help us during this period. Grandma means that we should give the meat to her family."
Luo Xiqing didn't expect that Li Yuncai would really do what she said, and couldn't help but feel grateful in her heart, "Grandma, this matter is one thing at a time, you don't have to worry, I have my own plans for Yuncai."
"By the way, where's Grandpa? It's almost dark, why hasn't he come back yet?"
"Brother, Grandpa went to Grandpa Pan's house to chat and will be back soon. As for these small fish, they have their own uses. This is what Sister Xuyuan wants to collect. There are a lot of them in the ditch, but it's a bit tedious to handle and it takes some time."
Luo Xile tossed the dried fish on the shelf and then poured them into the bamboo basket.
"Hahaha, it's settled. I'll go with you tomorrow. No need to send me off. It's just a few steps away."
A hearty laugh came from outside the house.
Two old men, Uncle Pan and Uncle Luo, walked one in front and one behind, with their hands behind their backs.
Uncle Pan said cheerfully, "Okay, I'll go back first. Remember to pack your things."
When Grandpa Luo pushed open the gate, he was surprised to see his eldest grandson whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
"Xiqing, you are back!"
"Well, I just came back, Grandpa, what are you so happy about?"
"What else can it be? Of course it's about making money. Tomorrow, your uncle Pan and I will take some salt duck eggs to the county town to sell."
Seeing that everyone had returned and it was getting late, Grandma Luo went into the kitchen to prepare dinner, and Luo Xile followed her into the kitchen.
“Salted duck eggs?”
It was the first time that Luo Xiqing heard that duck eggs could be salted. When did his family raise ducks that could lay salted eggs?
