Chapter 140: Journey Home



It was a sunny and breezy day, perfect for a long journey.

Fu Xiao got up early and packed up all the things she bought. Shen Xingzhou helped her fix them on the roof of the car, and the Zhai family also prepared a lot of food for her on the road.

After cleaning up, several people came to the dining table to have breakfast.

Zhai Jiu had already eaten by this time. He sat at the table, looked around and landed on Fu Xiao with a smile on his face. "After this separation, it will take a long time before we meet again..."

He spoke with an elder's tone, "If you need any help, you can go to the small courtyard you went to last time to find someone, or call me directly..."

Fu Xiao put down his chopsticks and said with a smile: "Thank you, Uncle Jiu. I'll remember it all."

After Zhai Jiu finished talking to her, he turned his gaze to Shen Xingzhou again, and his tone was much calmer, “Don’t forget to do what you should do after returning to Lin City. You have been idle for a long time…”

Shen Xingzhou, who was eating eggs, choked and quickly drank a mouthful of water to suppress the choking. His peach blossom eyes were filled with a helpless smile, "I know."

He has never been idle, but there is no way. If he is not working under Zhai Jiu's supervision, it is almost the same as being idle.

During this meal, Zhai Jiu spoke so much, which was more than he usually spoke to them in a week.

After dinner, Fu Xiao carried her small bag and Fu Yu carried the big backpack.

A few people walked out of the Zhai family's gate and looked back to see a military vehicle parked behind the car that sent them there. Mu Lianshen was leaning straight in front of the vehicle.

He was dressed in black today, and his stern features were made even colder by the sunset glow. He just leaned against the front of the car quietly, exuding a distinguished and noble temperament. With the appearance of Fu Xiao, the coldness on his face gradually melted away. He walked over and said, "Would you like to take my car?"

Fu Xiao smiled faintly and said, "No need."

"Well, you guys go forward boldly. I have sent people to explore the way ahead, and I will follow behind. Just be safe on the road..." Mu Lianshen's smile remained unchanged, but a hint of sadness flashed in his eyes, making him look a little lonely.

She nodded slightly to him, then got into the car in front and never looked back.

Of course she could sense the burning gazes of more than one person behind her...

But there was nothing to say, and eye contact was meaningless.

Mu Lianshen turned his head and said to the old man Mu who was hiding beside him: "Dad, let's go back..."

Watching Fu Xiao's car drive away...

Mr. Mu suppressed his sadness and laughed, "Youngest, you should follow me too. Remember what I told you. Don't forget it."

Although he was speaking to Mu Lianshen, his eyes were following the vehicle in front.

When the car drove out of the compound and disappeared completely, he turned to look at Mu Lianshen, stretched out his hand to push him, and urged: "What's wrong with you, kid? Follow me, don't worry, I can take care of myself."

Mu Lianshen got in the car, and the driver started the car. He looked through the window and said to Chen Ye, "Please help take care of him in Beijing."

Chen Ye waved his hand casually, signaling him not to worry.

Getting up early in the morning to see him off at the door, only a true brother can do this. Can't you see that he is the only one there, Wei Xue Ze can't even get up.

God knows, he has a wife by his side, which makes him different from those bachelors. It is really amazing that a brother has done this.

Chen Ye watched his car drive out of the compound, turned around and looked at Grandpa Mu with a smile on his face, "Grandpa... I asked the doctor yesterday, you can eat some meat today..."

"Come on, I'll take you to eat something delicious..."

Mr. Mu looked at him with bright eyes, expectantly, "Really? What delicious food?"

To be honest, he has been eating liquid food for a long time, and he is finally able to change to vegetables. Of course he is very excited.

Chen Ye grinned and stepped forward to support him. "You'll know when you get there."

Fu Xiao, who was sitting in the car, was chatting with Fu Yu and Shen Xingzhou who were also in the car.

Plus, the road was relatively flat at that time, so I didn't feel the time in the car was unbearable at all.

It was soon noon, and we arrived at a place with a pretty good environment, with woods and streams.

The scenery all around is pleasing to the eye and there is water, so it is a good opportunity to stop and rest for a while and have lunch.

Obviously, there are few large vehicles passing through this place, so there is no problem of blocking the road, and it will not cause any impact if a car stops on the side of the road for a while.

After getting out of the car, several people sat on the grass, took out all the food, and lit a small fire next to the stream. They originally planned to see if they could catch a fish to grill.

But there were obviously no big fish in this stream. Although there were some in her space, the species and size of the fish in her space were too obvious to be taken out, so she gave up.

Mu Lianshen came out of the forest at some point, holding a wild rabbit in his hand. He walked to the stream, peeled the skin, stuck it on a clean stick, and roasted it over the fire. He also took out the seasoning he brought from the car and sprinkled it on the rabbit.

After a long time, he walked up to Fu Xiao with a roasted rabbit in his hand, with a smile on his face, and handed the rabbit directly to her.

Fu Xiao looked at the expectation in his eyes, and was a little speechless as he pushed the whole rabbit towards her, almost covering her face with it.

Just as he was about to say something, Fu Yu beside him took the rabbit from his hand, tore the meat into small pieces and handed it to her.

Mu Lianshen seemed to have reacted at this time, and smiled embarrassedly, "Let me do it..."

Fu Yu thought about it and handed the rabbit meat back to him. He tore the rabbit meat into several pieces before handing it back to Fu Xiao.

To be honest, the taste was just average, but seeing his eager eyes, Fu Xiao still ate the few pieces he took out.
