Jiang Yutang lifted the curtain and returned to the carriage.
Everyone in the carriage looked at her, and she calmly said, "Huo Ling refused to go to that carriage; he wanted to go with Duan Wuheng. Duan Wuheng, on the other hand, insisted on going with Bai Cen to walk the pigs. Now, the three of them, plus He Zhen who is keeping an eye on Huo Ling's safety, are each riding horses, walking dogs, walking pigs, and walking sheep. Since there weren't enough horses, they took another one from Bazhenlou."
Jiang Yutang has described the scene of these people doing these things together so vividly that it's not hard to imagine.
Just before leaving, another strange and unusual thing happened.
Therefore, sometimes having a large number of people is not necessarily a good thing.
More people means more things to do.
"Then let them go." After saying that, Grandpa Weng saw that Jiang Yutang still hadn't moved.
Grandpa Weng: "..."
Old Master Weng was exhausted: "Can't we leave yet?"
Jiang Yutang continued calmly, "Huo Ling and He Zhen aren't here. Originally, Fang Rushi, Ding Bo, and Qing Wu were supposed to share a carriage, but Fang Rushi just refused to go no matter what. She's still standing under the carriage now, not leaving, insisting on getting into this carriage."
Grandpa Weng understood.
Fang Rushi's eccentric temperament was not uncommon in the martial arts world.
"Then let him come up. It won't be crowded anyway," Grandpa Weng said calmly.
But Jiang Yutang paused, and still didn't make a move.
The old man understood; this matter was not over yet.
Grandpa Weng suddenly had a headache, and Jiang Yutang continued in a soothing tone: "Fang said that he needs to paint things, and it's easier to paint in a larger carriage, but it's not easy to paint in places with many people."
Everyone in the carriage understood why Jiang Yutang had spoken in that tone...
The carriage needs to be larger; this means I want this carriage.
It's difficult to draw with too many people, so the idea is to send them all down.
Everyone now understands what happened.
Jiang Yutang: "That's all."
The old man suddenly stood up, and Zhao Tong immediately grabbed his arm. Both the old man and Jiang Yutang had to admire Zhao Tong's speed and insight—Old Qu had just been aiming for the Cloud Piercing Mountain Breaking Hand.
Zhao Tong had truly become familiar with everyone here and knew the personality of everyone in the Eight Treasures Restaurant.
"Old man, don't be angry. Just let the master go." Zhao Tong said calmly.
Between Old Master Weng and Jiang Yutang, Old Master Weng calmed down. Zhao Tong winked at Jiang Yutang, who understood. She watched for a moment, and then Zhao Tong lifted the curtain in front of the carriage.
Today it was Wang Sumo's turn to drive the carriage. Wang Sumo was already in place when Zhao Tong whispered something to her.
Wang Sumo understood.
The curtain was lowered, and Zhao Tong said softly, "The boss said she'll handle it."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than the sound of Wang Sumo getting off the carriage was heard.
The carriage fell silent instantly.
Soon, no one knew what was being said outside, but there was no sound of arguing. Then, the curtain at the back of the carriage was lifted, and all eyes turned to the curtain.
Wang Sumo smiled and lifted the curtain. Fang Rushi, with an expression that said, "I don't want to, I said I don't want to, but I just can't help it," got into the carriage and sat down.
Wang Sumo also thoughtfully said, "Brother Zhao, make some space for him so he can draw slowly."
Zhao Tong suppressed a smile: "Okay."
Fang was very upset.
Before Wang Sumo lowered the curtain, Fang Rushi said in a deep voice, "I'll go to that carriage; it's spacious enough to paint."
The people in the carriage thought: Finally...
Wang Sumo continued to be "thoughtful": "Brother Zhao, help Doctor Fang move his things."
Zhao Tong almost couldn't hold back this time: "Okay."
Jiang Yutang's face turned purple when she first saw Zhao Tong.
A moment later, the curtain at the back of the carriage was lifted again, and Ding Bo and Qing Wu were "driven" into the carriage, leaving Fang Ru Shi to monopolize the carriage by herself.
So here's the question: "Who was driving that carriage?" Jiang Yutang asked.
Everyone: "..."
Finally, after the great shift of the universe, Zhao Tong took over the reins of the carriage.
Wang Sumo went with the old man to Fang Rushi's place. Through the gap in the curtain, Wang Sumo saw that Fang Rushi had already started drawing something inside the carriage, truly not wanting to waste a single moment.
Wang Sumo knew that he was studying the poison on Bai Cen and Huo Ling. Fang Rushi was able to become a divine doctor because he focused all his attention on one thing and was single-minded.
Just as Wang Sumo was about to lower the curtain, he suddenly noticed Fang Rushi's left hand, which only had two fingers remaining, hidden under her sleeve...
Fang Rushi was never eccentric.
Rather, he has always been defending the principles he has always upheld...
"Let's go," the old man suggested.
Wang Sumo lowered the curtain.
The grand procession of Bazhenlou set off, but the carriages, being large, were not moving very fast to begin with.
Bai Cen rode a horse, leading a pig and two sheep in the very center at the front. Duan Wuheng and Huo Ling rode on either side of him.
Huo Ling rode a horse, while Duan Wuheng led Wei Wu and another sheep by the hand.
Two boys followed Bai Cen. Bai Cen was witty and humorous and knew how to make people laugh. Huo Ling and Duan Wuheng were familiar with him and knew what children liked. Huo Ling and Duan Wuheng would often burst into laughter.
He Zhen rode his horse and followed slowly a little behind.
At first, when Uncle Ding mentioned that there seemed to be some changes in the young master, he didn't see them very clearly; but now, these changes seem to be gradually becoming clearer and more concrete in the morning sunlight.
The carefree, cheerful laughter of the young man, mingling with Duan Wuheng's laughter, was as vibrant as the rising sun.
"I'd like to have one too," Huo Ling boldly suggested.
He Zhen thought Bai Cen would refuse, but Bai Cen simply handed him a rope: "Here, the biggest end is for you!"
Huo Ling's eyes lit up: "Mighty Might for me?!"
Huo Ling couldn't imagine it.
He Zhen couldn't even imagine what would happen if the pig really got out of control; wouldn't it cause all sorts of chaos and mishaps?
He Zhenzhen was wondering whether to stop him when Bai Cen spoke first: "You wouldn't dare?"
Huo Ling immediately laughed: "Who said that? I'm not afraid at all!"
This was Duan Wuheng's catchphrase in front of him, and he had already learned it!
Despite making such a boast, Huo Ling still felt somewhat uncertain, as did He Zhen. But Bai Cen said gently, "Pigs are very intelligent animals, and Wei Meng is one of the most intelligent pigs, you know? When I was trapped in the Bewitching Town, it was Wei Meng who came to rescue me!"
Huo Lingcai didn't believe it.
But Duan Wuheng poked his head out from behind: "I can vouch for him! It really was Wei Meng who came looking for him! Wei Meng is so big, he just knocked a weirdo away and then stopped right in front of him."
Huo Ling looked surprised.
Duan Wuheng continued, "Later, it was still Wei Meng who carried the two of us. At that time, Brother Bai Cen was injured and could not walk."
"Really?" Huo Ling asked curiously. "I'd like to hear about the Bewitching Town."
Duan Wuheng interrupted, feigning an air of maturity: "Children always like to ask questions."
Before he could finish speaking, a cry of "Ouch!" ┭┮﹏┭┮ rang out, and Duan Wuheng had taken his third punch to the head that day!
"I'm just a little kid myself," Bai Cen said leisurely.
Huo Ling laughed along, but to be fair, Wei Meng seemed really smart and easy to lead.
"Has it always been this obedient?" Huo Ling asked curiously.
Bai Cen truthfully replied, "I get impulsive when I don't want to leave!"
Huo Ling was even happier: "What if they act recklessly?"
"Let's beat him up!" Duan Wuheng shouted.
"Try hitting one of them and see if you can beat them," Bai Cen exposed.
Huo Ling laughed heartily, "I really want to see it act foolishly~"
Bai Cen said leisurely, "No, no, no! If it really acts up, it'll lie down somewhere and none of us can pull it up. We'll all have to get down and wait for it!"
"You pulled me?" Duan Wuheng was stunned.
"What do you think?" Bai Cen asked, amused and exasperated.
Huo Ling burst out laughing.
He Zhen followed far behind, smiling faintly. He had a feeling that the scene before him was very similar to that at Qingyun Manor.
Duan Wuheng is a carefree, unreliable second young master who doesn't get along with the young master.
The two argued constantly and couldn't stand each other.
Bai Cen is the eldest son.
But Bai Cen is different from the eldest son.
The eldest son will defend the young master and reprimand the second son.
Bai Cen wouldn't.
Bai Cen would beat them up and tease them together, and treat them all equally. When the young master suddenly wanted to lead Wei Meng, even though he felt it was dangerous, Bai Cen wouldn't. Bai Cen would let him try, and then the young master would feel a great sense of accomplishment.
Duan Wuheng would also join in the commotion.
He Zhen suddenly realized that the only difference between Qingyun Manor and this place was the eldest young master and Bai Cen...
Bai Cen acted as a mediator, allowing the two boys, one on the left and one on the right, to have their share of laughter and playtime, even when they argued.
He Zhen couldn't explain why he felt this way; perhaps it was because he also had a bias towards the eldest son.
But if he had to choose, he would prefer the young master to stay here.
As he was lost in thought, Duan Wuheng's laughter rang out: "You lost, you give me Wei Meng."
Huo Ling smiled and gave it to him, saying, "Then give me the sheep."
"Give!"
The laughter of the two boys echoed through the empty mountain forest.
Behind He Zhen was the carriage of Bazhenlou.
Zhao Tong was driving the carriage and could actually hear the conversation between Bai Cen, Huo Ling, and Duan Wuheng.
Zhao Tong has been at Bazhenlou for quite some time and is most familiar with Bai Cen. Although Bai Cen is carefree and is always teased by the owner and Master Qu, he is actually thoughtful and the most caring person.
Huo Ling and Duan Wuheng both liked him very much, and he liked him very much too.
He really likes the current Bazhenlou restaurant...
Zhao Tong's lips twitched slightly.
Behind the large wooden chest at Bazhenlou is the small horse-drawn carriage that has been removed.
Wang Sumo drove her small carriage behind the large wooden trunk of the Eight Treasures Restaurant, with the old man accompanying her.
“Grandpa, to be honest, we don’t think we’ve ever followed behind the Bazhenlou’s big wooden crate like this before.” Wang Sumo said with feeling. For a long time, it was always her and Grandpa who drove the Bazhenlou. It seemed like they suddenly had a chance to see the Bazhenlou from a different perspective.
"Wow, the wooden crates from Bazhenlou are so big!" Wang Sumo laughed.
The old man was both amused and exasperated: "You're only just realizing this? When I first saw you driving such a big carriage around all by yourself, I thought to myself, 'This girl has quite the personality, can she really go far?'"
"And then?" Wang Sumo asked, smiling at him.
The old man said gently, "I've thought about it. You might not be able to go far by yourself, but if you have me with you, you should be able to go very far."
Wang Sumo delivered a resounding compliment: "You really went a long way!"
Even though he knew she did it on purpose, the old man still laughed out loud. It seemed like Wang Sumo hadn't seen the old man so happy in a long time.
Wang Sumo said slowly, "Grandpa, before it was just the two of us, but now we have Grandpa Weng, Brother Zhao, Bai Cen, Yu Tang, and Duan Wuheng... We can go much further! To the ends of the earth, beyond the ends of the earth!"
The old man reminded me: "Stone."
"Um?"
The old man was annoyed: "Watch out for the rocks ahead!"
Wang Sumo: !!!
Wang Sumo didn't have time, and then "creak," boom.
Wang Sumo was startled, as if something had been thrown out, but she and the old man were both still there...
Wang Sumo and the old man exchanged a glance, then Wang Sumo suddenly remembered something and quickly stopped the car.
Behind the carriage, Fang Rushi looked annoyed!
"I'm not sitting anymore!"
Fang Ru refused to sit down no matter what!
*
"What happened?" Zhao Tong couldn't stop the carriage to check because he was driving, but he had clearly heard the loud bang.
Jiang Yutang lifted the curtain and said calmly, "When the master was driving, Fang Rushi fell out."
Zhao Tong: ? ? ?
Zhao Tong finally couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Jiang Yutang said quietly, "Now they're clamoring not to ride in the master's carriage anymore, and want this one instead."
Zhao Tong still couldn't stop.
Jiang Yutang continued, "They said the carriage was too crowded and they wanted to come to the front and sit next to you."
The smile on Zhao Tong's face visibly vanished.
Jiang Yutang calmly asked, "You believe that?"
Zhao Tong: "..."
Jiang Yutang lowered the curtain, a rare smile appearing on her lips.
Inside the carriage, Old Master Weng was instructing Qingwu on how to brew tea. The aroma of tea filled the air, and Jiang Yutang suddenly fell silent.
— Your maternal grandfather was very good at brewing tea; the tea he brewed was incredibly fragrant.
Jiang Yutang: "..."
