The Zhou family stayed at the inn and never went out. Their meals were delivered to their room by the waiter. Although the men in black probably knew they had checked into the inn, they still subconsciously dared not go out and make a scene, for fear of being recognized.
Gu Yiqiao shared the same idea as the Zhou family, or even more so. He was afraid of being recognized by Wu Lianlian's people, so he stayed in his room and dared not go out, not even daring to say much. Of course, he was too badly injured to go out.
After ten days of such careful precautions, the three female guards had recovered to about 80% of their original health, and the injuries of Boss Zhou and Brother Fu were almost healed. Even Gu Yiqiao's complexion had become much rosier, and he could walk more nimbly.
Hearing that the Zhou family planned to leave the city, Gu Yiqiao was conflicted and didn't know whether to continue following them. He wanted to stay in the city to seek revenge on Wu Lianlian, but as a weak and frail scholar, he was easy for others to crush like an ant. What could he possibly do?
To put it nicely, it's revenge; to put it bluntly, it's going to your death.
Clenching his fist, Gu Yiqiao silently recited: "A gentleman takes his revenge even after ten years; as long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn."
He should focus on becoming stronger first, instead of losing his mind and recklessly throwing his life away. If he hadn't been so impulsive before, he wouldn't have been captured by Wu Lianlian's people, beaten half to death, and ultimately implicated Uncle Fu and Fu Jiasheng.
Fu Bo was a servant born to Gu Yiqiao's mother, Fu Shi, when she married into the Gu family. He was extremely loyal to Fu Shi. When Gu Yiqiao learned that his birth mother had been killed by Wu Lianlian, he went crazy and went to settle scores with her.
That day, Master Gu was not in the prefectural city; he had gone to another prefectural city to discuss business. Gu Yiqiao was tied up by Wu Lianlian's men and then taken to a prison where he was imprisoned. Every day, he was dragged out and beaten severely. That vicious woman, Wu Lianlian, intended to torture him to death slowly.
Later, Fu Bo somehow found out where he was being held and brought people to rescue him. In the end, all the people who rescued him died, and Fu Bo was also shot by an arrow. Fu Bo gritted his teeth and forced himself to get him out of the city, then threw him into the bushes to hide him, and drove the carriage to lure away the pursuers.
It's obvious that Uncle Fu is definitely dead, and we don't know what happened to his son, Fu Jiasheng. Wu Lianlian will definitely not let him go.
He really wanted to go back and see if Fu Jiasheng was still alive. He wanted to rescue him. Fu Jiasheng had been by his side since he was a child and was only eighteen years old this year. If he was also killed by Wu Lianlian, how could he face Uncle Fu?
Uncle Fu only has this one son.
"Why are you crying? Is your internal injury too bad and your body hurts?" Fu was packing his bags. Zhou Erfu was closest to Gu Yiqiao. He had been listening to him sobbing silently for a while. He wanted to pretend he didn't see it, but this guy was crying so much that it gave him a headache.
Gu Yiqiao pursed his lips, wiped away his tears forcefully, and said in a muffled voice, "I'm not crying, I just miss my mother."
Zhou Erfu felt that this person's parents must be dead, which explained why he was crying so sadly. Come to think of it, he had never seen him cry before since he was rescued. His reaction time was quite long, and he only cried today.
“Crying won’t solve anything. If you want to avenge your family, you need to pull yourself together and become stronger. Only by becoming stronger than your enemies can you get revenge.” Zhou Erfu raised his fist. He believed the best way was to learn kung fu. The higher your kung fu, the greater your chances of revenge.
He was strong, but he suffered because he didn't know kung fu. If he had kung fu, he wouldn't have been killed by the men in black and had to run away from home. Every time he was lucky enough to survive, he would still get injured. Although the men in black who wanted to kill them all died in the end, he still felt aggrieved.
There were so many men in black, one batch died and another came, endlessly, making the whole family live in constant fear, not even daring to sleep too soundly.
"Brother Erfu, can you teach me kung fu? I want to learn kung fu," Gu Yiqiao pleaded.
"You must have misunderstood something. I don't even know where to learn kung fu myself. Besides having a lot of natural strength, I don't know any kung fu. By the way, what was your name again?" Some time ago, they were busy recovering from their injuries and traveling. By the time they arrived in the prefectural city, their injuries had improved a lot, but this young man's injuries were still very serious.
No one was really paying attention to him, so no one thought to ask his name. But then Zhou Erfu suddenly remembered and asked him.
Gu Yiqiao hesitated for a few seconds, then lowered his head somewhat guiltily and said, "My name is Fu Qiao, and I'm sixteen this year."
"Sixteen? You're older than me, so don't call me 'brother' anymore." Zhou Erfu secretly compared their heights and found that Fu Qiao was about the same height as him, but he was stronger and had darker skin, while Fu Qiao had fair skin, a slender figure, and looked like a weak scholar.
“I’m rough-looking, you’re delicate. Although you’re six years older than me, I’ve grown taller quickly, so I look older,” Zhou Erfu joked with a grin.
Gu Yiqiao was preoccupied and kept his head down, not paying attention to Zhou Erfu's words. Zhou Erfu didn't mind either, and wanted to ask him where he was from, what his family used to do, etc., but there was no time.
"Erfu, you're dawdling too much. Hurry up, we're leaving soon," Zhao Guihua called out impatiently.
"Come on, stop spacing out. I'm trying to get you to cheer up, why are you still so lifeless?" Zhou Erfu grabbed Gu Yiqiao and pulled her outside.
The two carriages slowly made their way to the city gate. As they passed through the bustling street, Xingxing lifted the curtain to look outside, chattering incessantly, "It's so lively! Quanshui Prefecture has even more people than Nanyang Prefecture, and the houses here are even more beautiful."
"Quanshui Prefecture is larger than Nanyang Prefecture. The people here are more resourceful, and there are more business people. It has always been more prosperous than Nanyang Prefecture."
Zhou Sanfu explained calmly that he had put a lot of effort into researching Quanshui Prefecture before coming here, and had even bought a book from a bookstore in Nanyang Prefecture that specifically introduced the local customs, culture, and economic development of Quanshui Prefecture.
