"Let Dongzi decide for himself, no need to persuade him." said Mr. Fu San.

This answer is exactly the same as what Song Qingci had thought before.

But she was still confused.

Because Dongzi is lively and likable, and what is rare is that he is sincere to Fengxun.

Feng Xun is loyal to Song Qingci and considers her lifelong affairs for her. Song Qingci feels that this is her responsibility.

"Actually, I know that... because no one can guarantee that everything will go smoothly after he leaves. If the two of us argue in the future, or if he encounters any difficulties, will he feel resentful?"

If you make your own decision, you can't blame others.

"I'll talk to him, but I won't persuade him." Mr. Fu San said suddenly.

He probably understood Dongzi's reluctance.

Dongzi has an almost blind admiration for him.

Dongzi may feel that if he follows him, he will have a bright future.

This is a burden that Master Fu San cannot bear.

He didn't.

He walked alone in the darkness, looking around in confusion, not knowing where his future lay. What could he give Dongzi?

All these people on Huaishan want is to have enough food and clothes, nothing more.

When Mr. Fu Sanye was with them, he felt that his life became more relaxed, time was stretched out, and every day was leisurely and comfortable. He actually made up for the comfort that he had not experienced in the previous twenty years.

——He came here to eat and wait for death.

Dongzi got nothing by following him.

Mr. Fu Sanye told Dongzi his thoughts frankly.

"...Ten years ago, I would have made a promise to you. But Dongzi, not now."

Dongzi's face flushed red, "Third Master, I, I..."

I thought I had hidden my little thoughts well, but I didn't expect that the Third Master saw through them clearly.

"Following me, there's no future, but I can just eat and drink my fill and live day by day."

"Third Master, did Feng Xun tell you to persuade me?"

"No, I just wanted to tell you."

A look of disappointment flashed across Dongzi's face.

He seemed very conflicted.

But not long after, he shook his head firmly: "No, Third Master, I won't go."

Mr. Fu San didn't ask any more questions.

This was Dongzi's own decision.

But Dongzi took the initiative to say, "Third Master, I know my own weight very well. I grew up in the mountains, wandering around like a monkey every day. It's only thanks to you that I learned a few words in the mountains, so I'm not blind."

He has nothing but good physical strength.

He could see that Song Qingci came from a wealthy family.

Feng Xun is now her personal maid. Because of this experience of sharing joys and sorrows, with Song Qingci's character, she will never treat Feng Xun unfairly.

"...Feng Xun will choose the best from among the many people, including the Song family's storekeeper, the village head, and the guards... Although I have little experience, I have heard that many of the sons of the housekeepers in the wealthy families are raised like the young master. They are literate and have both literary and martial arts skills. They are much better than those from the poorer families outside."

Compared to him, a bandit, there is a world of difference.

"Now in the mountains, I am useful to Feng Xun, because this is my home, I am the host and she is the guest, and the guest should follow the host's wishes."

"But after I get out, what will I have left?" Dongzi said self-deprecatingly, "Even if Feng Xun really likes me, I'll only be a burden to her. Miss Song's other maids marry the shopkeepers or village heads, but she's marrying a bandit?"

He didn't want to hold Feng Xun back.

He wants to make progress, but are there some things that can be achieved just by thinking about them?

"I do like Feng Xun, but I want her to be envied by others. I don't want her to be dragged down by me and become a laughing stock."

"Third Master," Dongzi wiped his face, forcing back the tears, "I thought Feng Xun would have a good life after coming down the mountain, but it would be difficult at the beginning."

"Think about it, Miss Song looks up to her, but because of her background, will she be ridiculed and ostracized?"

Feng Xun is an outsider, and if he gets more favor, he will become a thorn in the eyes of others.

She is a straightforward person and doesn't know how to beat around the bush...

"I can't help her, but I don't want people to say she's not good at this or that, and then add, her husband is not good enough."

"Third Master, I'm not going."

"Don't underestimate yourself." Mr. Fu San looked at Dongzi, who looked reluctant but resolute, and felt like protecting him.

Every soldier he led and every person who followed him was excellent in his eyes.

"As long as you want to, you can do it. Dongzi, you will be no worse than those housekeepers and guards in the future. Don't look down on young people because they are poor. If you like Fengxun, then go with her. You will have everything you want in the future."

"Third Master, I wish I could be like you. But I can't. I'm a coward... I'm so stupid. The first time I went down the mountain, I was almost caught by the police. It was all thanks to Feng Xun who saved me..."

He was born and raised in the mountains.

He thrived in the mountains, but the outside world was completely unknown to him. He couldn't shamelessly say that he would definitely make a name for himself in that world with uncertain rules.

It's okay for him to brag, but he is also willing to bear the consequences.

But if Feng Xun took him out, if he failed, it would only implicate her.

Dongzi is seventeen years old this year, which is the age of passion and impulsiveness.

His self-esteem does not allow him to say that he is not good enough.

But he really likes Feng Xun, and he can't let Feng Xun gamble with him.

"If I have the chance in the future, I will go down the mountain and explore the world." Dongzi said sadly with his head down.
