Of the pile of letters, more than half were from Mu Feng.
There were not only letters, but also several huge packages!
All of these are for her and the Qin family, as well as a birthday gift owed to Qin Yundu—a fine Duan inkstone!
The letter explained why he couldn't return for the time being, but what he said most often was to warn her not to wander off.
He wrote a lot about how bad people outside are, and many stories about ghosts and monsters capturing runaway children!
After Qin Luo finished reading them, he put all of Qin Luo's letters together.
The content inside is enough to fill a whole book of ghost stories!
But those stories are only good for scaring kids!
She was fine with it, after all, she had even seen ghosts and gods, so these things were nothing but child's play for her!
So these letters became Wu Hua's bedtime reading!
Wu Hua is the type who's bad at the game but loves to play; she wants to read stories but is also afraid of having nightmares!
Every time she watches it, Qin Luo has to be with her, and she has to hold Qin Luo's hand...
Mu Xiuyu and Jingming also wrote several letters to her and Qinling respectively.
The letter from Jingming mainly expressed her longing for Qin Luo and the Qin family.
Looking forward to seeing you all soon, and wishing everyone peace and good health!
In Mu Xiuyu's letter, he not only expressed his longing...
She also recounted how she bravely stood up for Jingming when he was bullied in the capital.
Qin Luo found the image amusing: two children confronting a group of adult monks.
No one would find it domineering; it's more like a joke!
Qin Yunhe's letter was the last one to be opened. Qin Luo was both curious and a little awkward about this older brother whom she had never officially met!
In Qin Luoluo's memory, this older brother, who was only five years older than her, always protected and loved her like an adult!
But she always felt something was off, a feeling she couldn't quite put her finger on!
Perhaps deep down she still felt that she and Qin Luoluo were two independent individuals!
She read the letter, which described the scenery of the frontier and recounted her own peace.
And there are also the funny stories between him, Qin Yunhan, Jinbao, and Shouhou!
He told her to take good care of herself and to tell the Qin family to stay healthy!
He just didn't write about how hard and tiring it was to guard the city on the frontier!
Qin Luo finished reading all the letters, her face full of smiles.
Although we are all in different places, we are all safe and sound, and that is enough!
Then she picked up her pen and wrote back to each of them!
Dr. You also received a letter from Mu Feng, along with two large packages.
One was for the Qin family, and the other was for him.
His bundle contained thick cotton-padded clothes, as well as many tonics and medicinal herbs.
Dr. You took out his cotton-padded coat, preparing to try it on.
Then, a purse fell out of the cotton coat!
Inside the purse were two thousand taels of silver notes and a piece of paper that read, "These silver notes represent Mu Xiao's entire fortune."
Ask him to keep it for him, so that when he gets married in the future, he can have Doctor You help him with the betrothal gifts.
The more Doctor You read the letter, the more he missed his beloved eldest son.
He wrapped the cotton-padded coat around his body, feeling that it was warmer than all his other clothes.
December 27
The Qin family members in the county town returned early, bringing lots of food and trinkets for Qin Luo and the little ones.
Qin Xian bought a lot of firecrackers, and Wu Hua had her eye on them early on.
But Qin Luo said it wasn't possible now; it could only be released on New Year's Day.
Wu Hua could only wait patiently, and finally the New Year arrived.
Before dawn, it ran to the entrance of the Qinling Mountains and knocked on the door.
"Elders, get up and set off the firecrackers!"
Qinling heard the knocking and thought he had overslept.
He hurriedly got dressed and got up, but when he opened the door, he was stunned.
Although the sky was no longer a deep inky black, the night had not yet completely faded.
He picked up Wu Hua and straightened her disheveled clothes.
"Son, it's not dawn yet. Setting off firecrackers will disturb everyone's rest. Today we need to pay respects to our ancestors and have our New Year's Eve dinner. The firecrackers will continue until tomorrow. There's no rush, okay?"
Wu Hua felt a little sad when she saw that he was unwilling to go with her to set off firecrackers.
"But when Luo Luo woke up, she wouldn't let me put it down; she just wanted me to watch from the side..."
Where can you find the Qinling Mountains? They look so pitiful.
Feeling a pang of reluctance, she thought: Let it go! At worst, she could have Qin Xian apologize to the neighbor after the release!
"Come on, let the elders take you to set off firecrackers! Let's wake them all up!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Hua happily shook her head.
"Let's go! Let's set off some fireworks!"
Qinling went to the warehouse first to get firecrackers, while Wuhua held a firework in her arms.
An elderly person and a child walked briskly towards the courtyard gate...
The morning air was cool, and a gust of wind blew, causing birds in the trees to chirp once or twice.
The crisp, melodious sound heralds the start of a new day.
Qinling set up the firecrackers and then took the fireworks from Wuhua's hands and set them off as well.
"Sweetie, do you want to set off fireworks first, or firecrackers first?"
"Fireworks! Sui Sui said that fireworks should be set off before dawn, and they're even more beautiful than the stars!"
Seeing the expectation on its little face, Qinling handed it a tinderbox.
"Let's light it! Let's enjoy this firework, which is even more beautiful than the stars!"
Wu Hua took the tinderbox, lit the fireworks, and immediately ran back to Qin Ling's side.
The fireworks started as just a tiny spark, soaring into the sky.
Then it quickly bloomed, transforming into colorful flowers.
Finally, it transformed into countless starlight points and vanished into the world...
Wu Hua, watching fireworks for the first time, stared intently with unblinking eyes.
It didn't look away until the last firework slowly faded away.
Then came the firecracker-setting part, and Qinling had Wuhua light them.
