Lu Chuan rarely speaks at such a long time, and he has almost never said these things to his two children. Xu Han agrees with what he said today.

That's how society is. People who sell themselves into slavery have absolutely no say. Their life or death depends entirely on the word of their master.

However, even though they are servants, they should still be given the dignity they deserve. Xu Han didn't want her two children to grow up badly and think that servants could be bullied at will.

After Lu Chuan finished speaking, Mu'er nodded seriously, "I'll remember what Father said."

Lu Chuan reached out and patted Ze'er's head, praising, "Good child, Daddy and Mommy will always be your support."

The family of four laughed and played together for a while, and then Lu Chuan took the two children to sleep in a side hall.

It was the first time the two children had slept outside. At first, Xu Han was worried that they wouldn't be able to sleep well and wouldn't be used to it. But to her surprise, the two children fell asleep as soon as they got back, without any signs of discomfort.

Xu Han and Lu Chuan chatted for a while about tomorrow's plans, and then went to sleep.

The next day, just as dawn was breaking, the courtyard became lively as the servants were unpacking luggage and the things Xu Han had bought the day before.

When Xu Han got up, they were almost ready. Seeing Sister-in-law Li, she asked, "Have you prepared everything? Don't forget to bring your bedding. There aren't any extras at home. If you don't bring it, you won't have anywhere to sleep tonight."

Sister-in-law Li said with a smile, "Don't worry, Madam, everything is ready. The iron pot and all the pots and pans you bought yesterday are also packed up."

"That's good. Once everything is ready, let everyone come to the front yard! We'll set off in a bit."

After Xu Han finished speaking, she walked forward, thought for a moment, and then added, "Don't forget to close the doors and windows, and make sure the fire in the hearth is completely extinguished."

"Yes, Madam, I will go and check it again right away."

After Sister-in-law Li finished speaking, she went to get busy. By the time Xu Han had finished tidying everything up, the front yard was already full of people.

"Is everyone here? Don't forget anything you haven't taken."

The group looked at each other and shook their heads, saying, "Madam, everything is ready. We can go now."

"Alright, let's set off then. It's quite far from here in the deep mountains, so please bear with your luggage. If you get tired along the way, please let us know so we can stop and rest."

Li Si, carrying his quilt and clothes on his back, and a large iron pot on his shoulder, said with a grin, "Hehehe, madam, we're not tired. We're used to heavy lifting, this weight is nothing to us. We're not tired at all."

Xu Han looked at everyone. Apart from herself and her two children, everyone was carrying things on their backs and in their hands. Even the Taoist priest and Grandpa Zhao were carrying bundles, which should be yesterday's change of clothes.

Xu Han touched her nose sheepishly, took her own bundle out of Lu Chuan's basket, and said, "That's fine then, let's go, let's set off early."

After saying that, she took the lead and walked out. She had only taken two steps when Lu Chuan took the bundle from Xu Han's hands again. Xu Han couldn't help but facepalm. This man is really enthusiastic.

But there were too many people here, so she couldn't argue with Lu Chuan. She decided to just take it; it wasn't heavy anyway. She had put all the heavier things into her spatial storage.

The large group of people, each carrying luggage on their backs, attracted a lot of attention as they walked down the street.

Luckily, they set off early. If they had been any later, the streets would have been packed with people, and it would have been even more awkward.

After walking for a quarter of an hour, the group finally arrived at the city gate. The garrison on both sides of the gate noticed their attire and began to examine them more carefully.

After some delay, seeing that there were indeed no problems, they were allowed to pass.

As the journey took longer and longer, they got further and further away from the county town.

Lu Chuan still harbored some resentment towards these people. After leading them on a long tour of the mountains, they finally arrived at the large boat at his home.

Although there are many large ships, there are too many people and a lot of luggage, so it's impossible to take them all in one trip.

So Lu Chuan, Xu Han, and Grandpa Zhao set off first with the children and some servants. After they arrived at their destination, Lu Chuan would return to pick up the others.

On the boat, Xu Han said, "Why don't we wait for you at the shore in a little while? We can sit down and rest for a bit, and then we can set off home together once you've all arrived."

Lu Chuan thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. "That works too. Those who stay behind are all able-bodied men. The Taoist priest will definitely lead them up the river. It won't take me long to go and fetch them. You can take them to a shady place to wait for us. We'll walk together when we get there."

Because they needed to hurry, the first group to board the boat consisted of women, the elderly, and the infirm, along with some large pieces of luggage, so that the Taoist priest could lead the rest of the group on their journey more quickly.

After the two discussed it, they arrived at their destination quickly. Everyone helped to unload the things from the boat, and Lu Chuan then turned the boat around to pick up the Taoist priest and the others.

When the large group reunited, it was already 10:00 AM. The delay was mainly due to the boat trip; otherwise, everyone would have been home by now.

Once everyone had arrived, the Taoist priest led them home first. Xu Han and Lu Chuan, taking advantage of the absence of others, secretly stored the boat in their spatial storage.

The world is not entirely peaceful right now, after all, the battlefield is not far from here, so it's best to be cautious in everything.

After putting the items away, the two quickly caught up with them, and everyone went home together.

The servants had been looking around ever since they entered the mountains, and they were quite shocked when they got close to their home.

Who would have thought that there were still people living deep in these mountains? From a distance, there are four large brick and tile houses with a very large courtyard. It looks quite spacious, and you can vaguely see other small courtyards inside the main courtyard.

Moreover, the area around the house has been cultivated and planted with crops, which are growing well and will soon be ripe.

If you listen carefully, you can hear a lot of chickens and ducks quacking, and it sounds like there are also dogs barking.

The further they went, the happier everyone became. The environment here was just too wonderful, with mountains, water, and orchards.

This place is truly a paradise in this chaotic world. Here, one can be completely self-sufficient. No wonder the owner could easily come up with such a large sum of money to buy a courtyard in such turbulent times.

However, although everyone thought this way, no one dared to show it on their faces, as servants should not inquire too much about the affairs of their master.
