Yunhua looked resentful upon hearing this, wanting to say something in her defense but too afraid to. She desperately wanted to stay! What should she do?

So he could only look to Zhao Yunyun for help, but before Zhao Yunyun could even speak, Grandpa Zhao continued...

"Yunyun! You'll go with Yunhua tomorrow. I'll send you a message when your sister Xiaohan gives birth, and then Yunhua will bring you back."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yunyun knew there was no room for negotiation. Fortunately, she could come back in a while, so she stopped talking.

When Yunhua heard that she could come again in a while, she stopped making a fuss. Now the two of them are just hoping that Xu Han will get pregnant soon so that they can come and stay for a few more days.

Without needing to be urged by Grandpa Zhao, Zhao Yunyun quickly went to the small medicine stove and brought the already decocted medicine to Xu Han.

Xu Han also drank it all in one gulp, and looking at Zhao Yunyun's expectant expression, she didn't know what to say for a moment.

Pregnancy isn't something you can control! It's really awkward.

He could only avoid Zhao Yunyun's expectant gaze and said, "I'm going to take a shower first."

After saying that, he fled as if he were escaping, leaving Lu Chuan alone to deal with Yun Hua.

...A good night's sleep...

The next morning, Xu Han got up early. They had agreed the night before that Yunhua and Zhao Yunyun would have breakfast together before she left.

Xu Han started preparing the dough early in the morning, and then prepared a meat filling and a vegetarian filling. She planned to make some buns for the two of them to take with them later. These are delicious and convenient, and under normal circumstances, they can be stored for a day.

It can be eaten cold, but it tastes better when heated up.

After preparing the filling, the dough hadn't risen yet! Xu Han went to the sweet potato field and picked some sweet potato leaves. She planned to make a spicy and sour sweet potato stem dish and a cold sweet potato leaf salad to eat with the buns.

After picking the sweet potato leaves, Xu Han handed them over to the Taoist priest and Grandpa Zhao to clean and process, while she went to the kitchen to make steamed buns.

"Everyone come quick! The steamed buns are ready! Come and try them!" Xu Han shouted.

After saying that, he took out a steamed bun basket, put the buns in the basket, and the others came over because of the smell.

Lu Chuan also went into the storeroom and got some dried radish and pickled cucumbers for everyone to eat with the steamed buns.

"Delicious, delicious! The bun skin is so soft and fluffy! And it's sweet too," the Taoist priest said.

"I added some sugar when I was kneading the dough, so that it would rise faster and taste sweeter," Xu Han explained.

"The filling is delicious too. I prefer the vegetarian filling," Yunhua said.

“I like to eat meat, meat is more fragrant,” Zhao Yunyun retorted, not to be outdone.

“I think they’re all delicious! I like them all,” Grandpa Zhao added.

A large pot of steamed buns was quickly devoured by everyone. After eating, they drank some porridge, and those who wanted eggs could help themselves.

No one sat down to eat at the table today; instead, they all ate their steamed buns in the courtyard, some squatting and some sitting.

After finishing the first batch of steamed buns, the second batch was ready. Xu Han steamed three batches of steamed buns in a row before she was done making all the buns for the day.

Yunhua and Zhao Yunyun were leaving soon, so after finishing breakfast, Xu Han went to the storeroom again.

I took some beef jerky, pine nuts and walnuts, and packed some small pickles in bamboo tubes. I didn't pack much, mainly because I was afraid they would spoil in the hot weather.

Then Lu Chuan gave the two a lot of steamed buns and brewed some honeysuckle tea in a bamboo tube for them to take with them, so they could have a drink when they were thirsty on the road.

After everything was ready, the two were about to set off. Xu Han said, "It's too hot, so I prepared a small bamboo tube of pickles for you. Eat it with the steamed buns and don't leave it for too long."

They also have beef jerky, which you can eat as a snack or to tide you over when you're hungry. There are also pine nuts and walnuts.

We've also prepared steamed buns and water for you. Try to finish the buns today, as they'll go bad by tomorrow.

"When things get better, Sister Xu Han, I'll come see you again in a while," Zhao Yunyun said.

"Okay! I'll wait for you to come, and I'll cook you something delicious then," Xu Han said with a grin.

"You two remember what I told you before: be careful in everything you do and keep your guard up," the Taoist priest said.

“We understand, Master,” Yunhua replied.

"Also, the most important thing for you this time is to use your own abilities to save people and help others. Don't get involved in the power struggle, and remember not to forget your original intentions," Grandpa Zhao reminded him worriedly.

“Okay, we will definitely keep that in mind,” Yunhua replied.

"Alright, you'll have to go through these things yourselves eventually. We won't say anything more. If you encounter any problems you can't solve, come find me. Of course, if you don't have anything to do, don't come back. Just focus on saving people out there! The days ahead won't be easy, and everything will depend on yourselves."

"And when rescuing people, you have to be careful to distinguish right from wrong. If you rescue someone, you might get yourself into a lot of trouble, especially you, Yunhua, do you hear me?" the Taoist priest roared.

"I understand, Master. Don't worry about me! I won't say anything more. You'll definitely take good care of yourself, so I won't worry about you anymore," Yunhua said.

"You absolutely must protect Yunyun. You must not let her get into any danger. If anything happens to Yunyun, you'll see if I can forgive you," the Taoist priest threatened.

"Okay, okay, don't worry! Even if something happens to me, I will never let anything happen to Yunyun," Yunhua assured her.

Everyone else burst into laughter.

Hearing Yunhua's words, the Taoist priest stopped talking. He had said everything he needed to say before coming here, and it was time for them to experience things for themselves.

"Grandpa, please take good care of yourself here. If anything happens, just let me know and I'll come right away," Zhao Yunyun said to her grandfather.

"Alright! Don't worry about me here! There's a Taoist priest here! It's definitely safe, and life here is much more comfortable than in the capital. It's so nice here! Don't worry about me."

On the contrary, when you encounter problems, remember to discuss them with Yunhua. Don't try to handle everything alone. Take good care of yourself! Message me if anything happens.

After saying that, Grandpa Zhao turned to Yunhua and said, "Yunhua, I'm entrusting Yunyun to you. You must protect her well."

"Grandpa Zhao, don't worry! I will definitely take good care of her for you."

"Sister Xu Han, Brother Lu Chuan, please take good care of Grandpa and the Taoist priest," Zhao Yunyun said to the two of them.

Don't worry! Take good care of yourself while you're out and about.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Yunhua and Zhao Yunyun carried their luggage and led their horses away from the valley.

This parting meant they would likely not see each other for a long time. The four watched the two leave until they were completely out of sight before turning around and going inside.
