He really couldn't walk anymore, but Yang Juan could.

She is his hands and feet, his eyes; their hearts are connected, and they have long been one.

"Okay, I don't know how many days I'll be gone. Take care of yourself and wait for me to come back..."

Yang Juan wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and began to prepare some food to place beside Bo Lai's bed.

She washed away the mold from the moldy steamed buns and dried them over a fire, turning them into fragrant, crispy steamed buns.

These were foods they were not supposed to eat.

But now Bo Lai can no longer eat spoiled or rotten food. He has also lost his sense of taste and gone blind. So Yang Juan lied to him and said that these were all rotten and dried.

Bo Lai didn't eat much, but she ended up eating the most of these things.

Perhaps it's because she's been eating better lately, but Yang Juan feels much better.

She looked at Bo Lai with reluctance. She would be gone for several more days, and every time the couple saw each other now might be the last.

"Hurry up and go, it's a long way."

Bo Lai sensed that Yang Juan was lingering and knew she was worried about him. He waved his hand and gave a calm smile.

"Brother Xiao Lai, I have never regretted marrying you."

After saying this softly, Yang Juan turned and walked out shakily.

She closed the door to prevent any naughty children from entering the house and disturbing Bo Lai.

Bo Lai's eyes could no longer see anything; they only showed a faint reaction to light.

Feeling Yang Juan close the door and leave, Bo Lai smiled slightly, but tears streamed down his face as he smiled.

"So stupid..."

The phrase "So stupid" is filled with helplessness and heartache.

He owes Yang Juan too much in this life. If there is a next life, let him repay her properly.

...

Lin the Blind and Su Tiantian left the garbage station. Lin the Blind found a car and the two of them went to the village where the Bo family's old house was located.

The Bo family is located in Shihe Village, Shihe County, S Province.

Shihe Village is a tourist attraction, and thanks to Bo En, it has developed very well in recent years.

Almost all of them are two- or three-story villas.

Bo En's elderly mother, Fu Qingqiu, is seventy years old. She lives alone and is in good health. She spends her days growing vegetables and raising livestock.

Her home was always bustling with activity, and passersby would always greet her with, "Good afternoon, Grandma Bo."

"Good evening, Mrs. Bo..."

A greeting sound similar to this.

Even when the high-ranking officials, Bo En and his wife, were not at home, Fu Qingqiu's life was still very good.

Whenever someone had some good fruit, they would send it to her house.

Fu Qingqiu was a very kind old lady, and many children loved to play at her house.

Most of the time, you can get a handful of peanuts or melon seeds to eat.

Everyone in the village praises Fu Qingqiu.

"That old lady is very lucky. If this were ancient times, she would definitely be a noblewoman."

“She’s very capable. Her youngest son inherited her intelligence, but her eldest son isn’t so good; he takes after his father.”

"It's a good thing that Bo Daniu died early, otherwise his family would have been gambled away long ago. In the end, the old lady was lucky."

The Bo family's affairs were no secret, but these sighs were only discussed behind their backs.

Fu Qingqiu lived through turbulent times and had many legendary experiences in his youth.

She could drive a tractor and made significant contributions to organizing production.

So people admire her, talk about her behind her back, and are jealous of her, but behind all the discussions lies a sense of genuine admiration.

She had two sons; the younger one took after her, which is why he was so outstanding that he became the provincial governor.

The eldest son, like her husband, has a bad character and is therefore hopeless; he's destined to be a beggar.

This area is a tourist area, so Lin the Blind and Su Tiantian found a hotel to stay in.

There are three tourist attractions here. One is a mountaintop with a panoramic view of the surrounding mountains. It is said that there is a mountain that looks like a dragon head sucking water. The scenery on the mountain is also beautiful, and in autumn you can pick some wild fruits in the mountains.

One is the ancestral grave of the Bo family, where there is a uniquely shaped tree in the shape of a human figure. It emits a fragrance all year round, like a large umbrella. The old lady of the Bo family would go to the grave to make offerings every week.

Another attraction is the scenery of boats on the lake near the dam.

Lin the Blind and Su Tiantian enjoyed a delicious meal, and the restaurant owner smiled and gave them a tour.

"If you get tired from climbing the mountain, you can hire a sedan chair to carry you up, just like the high-ranking officials of ancient times. That would be quite an achievement."

The proprietress is a native of S province and is very hospitable.

She kept looking at Su Tiantian, her smile as bright as a blooming flower.

"Sweetie, eat some candy. Your auntie is giving you this. You're so cute."

The proprietress's heart melted at the sight of Su Tiantian's well-behaved nature; this was exactly the kind of daughter she longed for.

"Thank you, Auntie."

Su Tiantian smiled brightly and looked at the proprietress innocently, asking, "Auntie, is there really a human-shaped tree at the Bo family grave? Why does everyone like to look at it? Why isn't anyone afraid? Why doesn't anyone secretly cut it down?"

Su Tiantian's curious expression made the proprietress laugh out loud.

Lin the Blind Man said calmly, "Children don't know any better and love to ask about everything."

The proprietress waved her hand: "It's nothing, it's nothing."

"Grandpa, actually, every tourist has this question. The reason is quite simple: firstly, everyone wants to see something novel, and secondly, that tree is very powerful. Everyone says that our provincial governor became governor because of it. Some people have tried to cut it down, but they either died or went mad..."

After the proprietress finished speaking, she looked at Su Tiantian and couldn't help but reach out and pinch Su Tiantian's cheek, asking with a smile, "Sweetie, are you scared?"

Su Tiantian shook her head.

The proprietress laughed even harder: "You're really brave."

Su Tiantian smiled shyly and lowered her head.

The dishes arrived, and the proprietress stood up with a smile and said, "Please enjoy your meal. If there's anything you don't like, just let me know."

Her hotel and restaurant are doing well because she is warm, hospitable, and humorous.

She would chat with every guest who came to her house, introducing the sights and features, adding a touch of mystery to pique people's curiosity.

It's common for people to stay a few more days.

She earns more as guests stay longer.

"Go eat, go upstairs to sleep and get some rest."

Blind Lin handed Su Tiantian chopsticks.

Because they need to act at night.

Su Tiantian was tempted, but before that, she wanted to check out the old Bo family house.

After the master and apprentice had eaten and drunk their fill, they went upstairs to their room to rest.

Su Tiantian left her body. She hadn't gone far when a tabby cat sitting by the roadside got up.

"Let's go, I'll go with you to see that old man's house."

Bai Meng yawned lazily.

She hadn't fully recovered from dealing with the black snake, so she spent most of her time sleeping.

She didn't need to go, but she went anyway, mainly to keep him company.

Su Tiantian's taste buds are now only visible to Bai Meng.

The old house of the Bo family is located halfway up the mountain, some distance from the main road.

After walking for a while, Bai Meng couldn't help but mutter, "He's already the governor, why doesn't he let the main road pass right in front of his own house when he's building roads?"
