Chapter 236 Guests from Afar



It was already evening when we returned to Mengjiazhuang.

Gu Beiheng did not go home with Su Qi, but went to find Gu Wushen. He had to find out what Gu Wushen had said to the Tianli Sect members.

Su Qi returned home.

The two little guys, Dabao and Erbao, haven't gone to bed yet. They said they must wait for Su Qi to come back at night.

When they saw Su Qi coming home, the two little guys chattered non-stop.

"Mom, I want to sleep with you tonight, okay?" Dabao ran over and asked embarrassedly.

Erbao nodded quickly and said, "I want to follow Mom, too."

Since arriving in Mengjiazhuang, the two little ones have often become left-behind children.

Even though Su Qi was in Mengjiazhuang, they still had to practice martial arts and go to class during the day. They didn't have much time to spend with Su Qi, so naturally they liked to stick to her.

"Have you finished your shower?"

"I've finished washing. I've also brushed my teeth." Dabao opened his mouth for Su Qi to check his teeth. He even took Su Qi's hand and stretched it over to touch them.

"Mom, is it clean?"

Su Qi patted the heads of the two little guys and said, "Clean, go lie down on the bed quickly."

Dabao grinned and laughed.

He rushed into Su Qi's room like a monkey.

Erbao climbed onto Su Qi's lap, hugged her neck, bit her ear, and said, "Mom, can I discuss something with you?"

"What is it?"

"I want a horse of my own. A pony is fine too." Erbao said with a pout.

Su Qi pinched Erbao's chubby nose. "You're not even as tall as a pony, how can you ride a horse? You're allowed to have a puppy, so find a way to get one yourself."

Erbao's eyes and eyebrows were bent downwards.

"Ah? I have to raise a puppy myself." Erbao pouted and said unconvincedly, "A puppy is not impressive."

"Then find a powerful little bastard."

Erbao slowly slid down from Su Qi's body, lowering his head and said:

"Okay then. I'll find a strong puppy to raise." Thinking of this, Erbao was very happy again.

He skipped back to the room and competed with Dabao for the best position.

Su Qi finished washing up and returned to the room.

Lying on the bed, telling stories to the eldest and second child.

The two little guys really like listening to Su Qi's stories.

I particularly like what Su Qi said about the Monkey King who could transform into 72 different forms. Today, I pestered Su Qi to tell me the story of the Monkey King making havoc in Heaven in the eighth chapter.

After hearing this, Dabao put his hands behind his head and said with longing, "Mom, I want to be like Monkey King. With such power, how big would my territory be?"

"Son, are you really that capable just to fight for territory?"

"What else? Of course the bigger the territory, the better." Dabao smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into slits.

Su Qi felt a little sour in her teeth. What kind of special hobby did her eldest son have?

Will you go on expeditions to expand your territory when you grow up?

Su Qi shuddered at the thought and told Dabao about the joy of being an ordinary person.

After a few words, there was no response from the eldest son.

When I looked again, Dabao closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Erbao said happily:

"This story Mom told isn't good. Dabao and I don't like it either. Can you tell me another story about a few sheep?"

Su Qi was too tired to complain about her own child.

"Mom is sleepy too, go to sleep."

"Aren't you going to wait for Daddy to come back?"

Su Qi turned over, yawned, and said, "Erbao, wait for Daddy to come back for Mommy."

Erbao quickly huddled in Su Qi's arms, "Bao fell asleep. I don't know what mother said."

Early the next morning.

As soon as Su Qi got up, she heard someone talking outside, saying there were guests coming from far away.

Su Qi asked through the window:

"Xianghe, are there any guests at home?"

When the people in the corridor heard that Su Qi had gotten up, they quickly dispersed and started preparing.

Xianghe pushed the door open from outside.

Standing behind Su Qi and helping her comb her hair, "Madam. It is said that two masters have taken refuge here with their families. One of them has a full beard and looks quite scary.

There was another family that seemed to be coming from Yuezhou Prefecture. I heard Zeng Wuming say that they were escorted here by officials.”

Su Qi picked up a silver hairpin and handed it to Xiang He.

"Qiu Aotian and Peng Laosan?"

Qiu Aotian is a big man with a curly beard, who has a violent temper and is ready to chop people at any time.

He is also the big brother that Erbao misses so much.

"The bearded man is alone?" Su Qi couldn't quite remember if he had any family.

"He's not alone. He's with an old man, a girl about ten years old, and a boy of seven or eight years old. They don't look like his own children. I guess they are his younger brothers and sisters." Xiang He didn't have time to ask.

"Okay, don't wear this hairpin anymore."

"Madam, I'm afraid things are not going well outside. I don't know how the old lady is doing."

Su Qi also thought of Yun Manyu. The letter she sent to the capital should have arrived. "The mail in the capital is slow, so I'm afraid there was a delay along the way."

Su Qi did not tell Xiang He that the letter to the capital was sent using Gu Beiheng's Flying Eagle.

Logically speaking, the correspondence should be about the same.

Su Qi had breakfast and came to the front yard.

I met the families of the bearded man and Peng Laosan.

The bearded man was a frail old man who coughed even when he wasn't talking. Once he started talking, he couldn't stop coughing.

Yun Xiaobo was taking his pulse.

A little girl in her teens and a boy of seven or eight hid behind the old man.

Looking at the big guy timidly.

Peng Laosan has a larger family. Besides his parents, there is his wife, children, and two unmarried brothers. They all look simple and down-to-earth.

The bearded man and Peng Laosan came over and greeted Su Qi.

Peng Laosan's wife also came over to say hello. She looked like a straightforward woman.

Su Qi felt good looking at her.

"Have you settled in?"

"Madam, let's move into the courtyard next door first. Master Gu said he'll build two more courtyards nearby in a month. We'll move in then. My brother and I have already made arrangements."

My wife is quick and hardworking, so please assign her a job." Peng Lao San said first.

"Baizhi, take Sister Peng to find Xianghe. The main kitchen is still short of someone, so let Sister Peng go to the main kitchen."

"Yes, ma'am. Mrs. Peng, please come with me." Bai Zhi took Mrs. Peng away first.

The bearded man simply clasped his fists in salute to Su Qi.

His younger brothers and sisters are still young, so naturally they are not assigned to do things the same way.

"Ah~ah..." Suddenly a scream was heard.

As soon as Su Qi heard it, she knew it was the third prince in the courtyard over there.

Yun Xiaobo's hands trembled with fear. He had been frightened like this quite often in the past few days. "Madam Gu, is the Third Young Master ill again?"

Here, everyone consciously calls the Third Prince "Third Young Master." Only a few people know his true identity.

"You and your families should go and have a rest first. You have been traveling for quite a while, so take a break for two days before getting busy with your work." Su Qi said to the bearded man and Peng Lao San.

"Thank you. We'll go and rest later." The two bowed.

"I'll go see the Third Young Master first." Su Qi said and walked out quickly.

Arriving at the Third Young Master's room, Mr. Ke, Gu Beiheng, and the Third Young Master's two followers who were in much better health were all there.

Mr. Ke breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Su Qi coming over.

"Qiqi, what should I do with this guy?" Mr. Ke was very aggrieved. "He sucked me, really on the mouth."

(?ω?*)

The old man has lost his integrity in his later years.

Su Qi hadn't expected this to happen, so she had to comfort Master Ke: "Master, the Third Young Master doesn't know what he's done. He went crazy and even hurt himself."

Just finished speaking.

The third young master was seen banging his head against the wall.

The two followers were so frightened that they quickly hugged him tightly and refused to let go.

Mr. Ke is silent, what else is there to say?

Gu Beiting took the medical kit that Su Qi had placed here and said, "Sister-in-law, this is for you."

Su Qi took out a silver needle but found that he couldn't do it.

This guy was mumbling something, tears and snot flying all over his face, his head shaking and his shoulders hunching.
