Because he was going to the capital, Zhou Wufu quickly prepared all the medicine Zhou Dafa needed and sent it over after half a year. After taking Zhu Chumo's medicine, Zhou Dafa was able to sit up straight, and his lower body also reacted. He could move his legs and was able to stand up for a while a couple of days ago.
They believed that they would be able to walk again in a few months. Zhou Lao Er and Chen Cao Cao were very grateful to the eldest son's family and even more grateful to Zhu Chu Mo. When they heard that they were leaving, they took out all their savings and insisted on giving them to Zhu Chu Mo, saying that it would be for his travel expenses.
"It's a pity we only have these ten taels of silver on us. We'll have no more than that. We'll thank you properly when you return from the capital," Zhou Lao Er said with a simple and honest expression.
“Take this money back. I didn’t treat your son for money. I always treat people based on fate. If I were to ask for a price, even thousands or tens of thousands of gold coins wouldn’t be too much. I don’t need the money, so take it back. I don’t want to say it a second time.”
Zhu Chumo kept a cold face. He was not good at polite shoving and pushing people around, and he also hated it when people forced things on him. If he didn't put on a cold face, there would still be a lot of arguing.
After being coldly rebuked by him, Zhou Lao Er and Chen Cao Cao dared not force the issue any further. They said a few nice farewell words and quickly left.
"Star, Candy can't bear to part with you, please don't go." Candy cried loudly when she knew Star was leaving.
Jingjing and Xiaoxiao were also reluctant to see everyone leave, but they knew their place, so despite their reluctance, they didn't cry like Candy.
"Leave the family to us, don't worry. I will definitely protect Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou. As long as I'm here, they'll be safe." Xiao Xiao patted Zhou Erfu and Zhou Sifu's shoulders a few times.
“Like Xiaoxiao, as long as I am here, Yegou Village is my home, and I will definitely protect it,” Jingjing said solemnly.
Only Candy was crying uncontrollably. Star was also very sad. She rummaged in her pocket, took out a small bag of maltose, and stuffed it into Candy's hand. "Here's some candy for you. Once you've eaten it, you're not allowed to cry anymore. The journey is dangerous and the distance is too far. It's not that I don't want to take you with me, but we're going to rescue people. You should stay home and not suffer with us."
"Candy isn't afraid of hardship, Candy is strong, and can fight." Candy kept crying.
"We have many fruit trees at home. If they grow well, they will bear fruit next year. If no one takes care of them, they won't bear any fruit next year. Now that you're gone, who will take care of the fruit trees? We'll have to carry water to water them when it's not raining." Xingxing could only tempt the fruit trees with candy, since she was only interested in food.
"Will it bear fruit next year?" Candy hiccuped and asked hesitantly.
"Some can," Xingxing said seriously. Some fruit trees will bear fruit the following year, but the first year will definitely not yield many.
"Alright then, I'll stay here to take care of the fruit trees. Star, take care of yourself. Candy can't escort you to the capital." Candy wiped away her tears and snot with her sleeve and bid farewell to Star without any hesitation.
Star:"?"
As expected, eating is the most important thing. I saw Candy crying so sadly just now, and I thought she was really reluctant to part with her. But it turns out this is all?
Zhao Guihua looked at Xingxing's furrowed brows and couldn't help but find it amusing, which even lessened her sadness about the impending separation. "Tangguo, you're even more childish than her. Don't take it to heart."
"I'm not childish at all, I'm very sensible." Xingxing hummed and snuggled into Zhao Guihua's arms.
Zhao Guihua's heart softened, and she hugged Xingxing tightly, whispering in her ear, "If you have time in the future, you must come back to see your father and me."
Xingxing heard this, but she didn't say anything. She just nodded gently. She would come back and wouldn't abandon her parents and brothers.
The farewell lasted for nearly half an hour. Zhou Laoda, Zhao Guihua, and three female guards escorted the person out of the village and walked a long way before stopping.
"Let's go back. We'll send a message back when we get there," Zhou Dafu said loudly to his parents.
Then, with a sharp crack of the whip, several carriages sped away, leaving behind a cloud of dust.
Zhao Guihua could no longer hold back and threw herself into Zhou Laoda's arms, crying loudly. Seeing her cry, Tangguo couldn't help but cry too. She had a loud voice and no sense of controlling her volume. Her wailing could probably be heard for miles around.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the village chief and the others to arrive. The village chief quickly walked up to them and asked worriedly, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Old Zhou smiled sheepishly and explained, "It's nothing. It's just that the children are going on a trip with their master, and we're reluctant to let them go. Women just love to cry."
The village chief knew a few days ago that Fu Ge and Xing Xing were leaving. Zhou Lao Da had mentioned it to him, and he also knew that Xing Xing was going to find her biological parents. However, the village chief did not know that Xing Xing's biological parents lived in the palace.
"Those immortal masters are so skilled in martial arts, they will definitely be able to protect the children along the way, so don't worry too much. Alright, since there's nothing else, everyone can go back now."
The loud screams from Tangguo startled everyone in the village, who thought someone had died. The village chief rushed over with a dozen able-bodied men.
Knowing that nothing was wrong, everyone was both amused and annoyed by Candy's overreaction.
"Alright, why are you all getting angry with a child? She may be big, but she's only a few years old. What kind of behavior is it to argue with her?" After the village chief spoke, the others didn't say anything more, and the group returned to the village in a grand procession.
Inside the carriage, Xingxing buried her face in Zhu Lin's arms and cried silently. The young man felt his clothes get soaked in an instant; the little girl was heartbroken.
"Sister, come to your second brother, shall I hold you?" Before Zhu Lin appeared, he was always the one who carried or carried Xingxing. But since Zhu Lin appeared, he was forced to step down.
