Li Xian said anxiously, "My wife and I have exactly the same idea. Why don't we just go over there? I don't have a serious career right now anyway, and I can help take care of them if I go over there."
"We want to go too. None of us have married yet, so we don't have anything to worry about." Several other orphans said enthusiastically, their faces filled with irrepressible excitement and anticipation.
Xu Hu looked at the noisy, chaotic group of twenty or so people before him, and his rage burned. He slammed the table hard and shouted at the top of his voice, "Stop arguing! We all have our own established life paths, and they have their own lives to live over there too. Aren't Brother Xiao, Ah Bei, and Ah Nan still here? We can still get together for holidays."
Li, however, maintained a steadfast gaze and insisted without flinching, "I really want to go. I'm always worried about what might happen to them."
Xu Hu looked at him seriously with a serious expression, lost in long thought. After a long moment, he sighed helplessly and nodded, saying, "Okay, then you can go on our behalf. My wife's family is in a special situation, and I really can't leave."
Li Xian felt relieved and nodded heavily. Several orphans immediately followed him closely. "Brother Xian, we're going too. We have to go!"
"Okay, then hurry up and pack your things, we'll go there together." Li Xian said as he handed them the address of the research institute, but he was very nervous, not knowing at all whether the machine could still be used normally.
Xu Hu and his companions arrived at the research institute. Li Xian carefully held his young son and held his well-behaved daughter tightly by his hand. His wife nervously followed him, holding onto Li Xian's hand. Several orphans stood beside Li Xian, excitedly chattering away.
Xu Hu said solemnly to Li and the others, "Be sure to be careful on your journey." He then took a bag full of food and a women's bag from Yu Jie and handed them to Li. "This is the food we carefully prepared for you, along with some money. If you can't find your loved ones there, these things will be enough to sustain you for a while."
"Thank you, Brother Hu." Tears glistened in Li Xian's eyes, filled with gratitude and reluctance. He hugged his brothers affectionately one by one.
Xu Hu and his companions slowly left the room and entered the control room. Xu Hu took a deep breath and solemnly pressed the red button. Li Xian and his companions waved vigorously at them. The tunnel behind them slowly opened with a low rumble. Li Xian walked in front of the group, holding his son. His wife held Li Xian's hand, and with her other hand, she held her daughter's. The others followed, holding hands and filing in.
Until everyone's figures completely disappeared.
Li Xian's son accidentally touched the time controller on the way. This unintentional touch magically allowed them to travel directly to a week after Su Fugui's arrival, just in time for Li Xueyao and Li Chuyang to prepare to start a business and were having a quarrel with Li Zichen.
Li Xian and his companions came to this completely unfamiliar environment. Looking around, the scene before them seemed as if they were on a desolate mountain with no one in front or behind.
"Brother Xian, look over there, there is a villa. Let's go down and ask for directions." A man said excitedly, pointing at the vague silhouette of a small villa below.
"Okay," Li Xian agreed, and led them down the mountain. Along the way, the daughter and son took turns being held, while Li Xian lovingly supported his wife. Halfway through the walk, they all ate something together to replenish their energy.
Xu Hu and others watched Li Xian's family and several orphans gradually disappear in the tunnel, and their hearts felt like a pot of mixed feelings.
Yu Jie frowned and said with a worried look on his face, "Brother Hu, I really don't know what the situation will be like when they go there, and whether they can find everyone smoothly."
Xu Hu took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, his gaze still fixed on the closed tunnel. He said in a heavy voice, "Now all I can do is pray to God to bless them. I just hope everything goes smoothly and safely."
Zhang Jing folded his arms across his chest, shook his head helplessly, and said with deep emotion, "This happened so suddenly. I sincerely hope they can adapt to the situation over there as soon as possible."
The other brothers also gathered together, talking to each other.
"I don't know if Brother Xian and the others will be in danger if they go there. It really makes me worried."
"I hope they can successfully reunite with Sister Le and their godmother."
Xu Hu listened to everyone's discussion, clapped his hands, and said loudly, "Alright, brothers, stop worrying about this for nothing. Li Zan and the others will definitely take care of themselves. We have to live well here and just wait patiently for news from them."
After hearing Xu Hu's words, everyone nodded and dispersed, though their hearts were still filled with worry. However, everyone's face was filled with worry and uneasiness, and their expressions were heavy, as if a heavy burden was weighing on their hearts.
As darkness deepened, Li Xian and his companions finally arrived at the villa. He quickly approached and gently knocked on the door. Su Le was resting quietly in his room, while Li Zichen emerged, bewildered. The moment he opened the door, he felt as if struck by lightning, frozen in shock.
"Brother Chen. That's great! I thought it would take a long time to find you." Li Xian's tired expression instantly disappeared, and a happy smile like the sun bloomed on his face.
"Brother Chen." Several people behind him also called Li Zichen enthusiastically.
Li Zichen hurriedly welcomed them into the villa. Li Xueyao and Li Chuyang were shocked when they saw them, and they quickly stepped forward. "Uncle!" Both of them had expressions of joy and happiness on their faces.
Chen Yao and Su Fugui were sitting on the sofa watching TV. When they saw them come in, they asked in astonishment, "Why are you here? How did you get here?"
"We came here using the instruments you left behind. Brother Hu said they are all married and have children, and the situation at my mother's side is complicated and difficult to handle, so I brought a few brothers and my wife's family here. You taught us a lot carefully back then, which led to our current achievements. After you left, we couldn't find a way to repay your kindness, so we thought about it and decided to come here." Li Xian was still the same as before, scratching his head embarrassedly and speaking honestly.
