But the joy was fleeting. "Mother, my eldest brother and third brother haven't returned yet. Why don't we send my second brother to the county town to check on things so we can be at ease?"
I don't know what happened. How could my eldest brother and third brother have been gone for so long without coming back?
Madam Xu had the same idea, so she asked Rong Zheng to go to the county town and see what had happened. She told him to come back and tell them what had happened, so as not to worry them.
Rong Zheng said he could, and he would definitely come back to tell them.
Rong Sheng: "Second brother, I'll say it again: if there's anything I can help you with, please tell me. Don't keep it to yourself. I'm also Dad's daughter!"
She also wanted to do her part!
Rong Zheng patted Rong Sheng's head. "If there's anything Sheng Bao really needs, your second brother will definitely let you know. Before it gets dark, your second brother should hurry back. You and Mother should stay home and wait for your second brother!"
Rong Zheng quickly left home. Rong Sheng watched Rong Zheng's departing figure, her dark eyes flashing. She then obediently followed Xu Shi, helping her feed the pigs and clean the yard.
As darkness fell and Rong Zheng still hadn't returned, Rong Sheng complained that she was sleepy and wanted to go to bed.
Madam Xu felt sorry for Rong Sheng, so she told Rong Sheng to go to sleep quickly, and also told Rong Yu to go to sleep quickly, so as not to harm his health by staying up too late.
But Rong Sheng insisted on sleeping with Xu Shi, wanting Xu Shi to sleep with her.
Before going to sleep, Rong Sheng poured herself a glass of water, poured Rong Yu a glass of water, and naturally poured Xu Shi a glass of water as well. After drinking the water, Xu Shi quickly became sleepy and went to sleep with Rong Sheng.
After Rong Sheng waited until the person next to her was breathing steadily, she got up and dressed, looking at Xu Shi who was sleeping peacefully: "Mother, I know you don't want to trouble me or make me suffer, so Sheng Bao will have to go to Father by herself."
She finally found a family member who loves her and genuinely likes her; how could she possibly sit idly by and ignore it?
After checking on Rong Yu and confirming that Rong Yu's body could still hold on for a while, Rong Sheng left home and headed towards the county town.
But as soon as she left the Rong family home, she was blocked by an incomparably handsome man.
"Where are you going so late at night instead of sleeping?" the man asked in a cold voice.
Rong Sheng was worried about Rong Dong'an and said, "My father has been in the county town for several days and we haven't heard from him. My mother and the family are very worried. I'm going to go and see him!"
"You? A little girl, what do you think?" Gu Beiyi's handsome face darkened. "Besides, your three older brothers have all gone to the county town, what use would you be there?"
Rong Sheng said, "Whether it's useful or not, we'll know once we go. Even if it's useless, we can just go home!"
"But I'm hungry!"
"You haven't eaten all day?"
"Yes! And my clothes are dirty, I don't know how to wash them!"
"So you came to my house in the middle of the night because you wanted me to cook for you and do your laundry?"
"Yes! But aren't you going to the county town?" someone said sourly. It wasn't easy for him to come see Rong Sheng during the day, and he had finally made it to the evening, but this woman only had eyes for her family, not him.
Thinking of this, Gu Beiyi felt extremely depressed!
Rong Sheng rolled her eyes inelegantly, as if to say, "So you think I'm just a nanny?" She said, "Get out of my way, don't block my path. I need to be back before dawn!" Otherwise, Xu Shi and Rong Yu would worry.
Gu Beiyi not only didn't move aside, but went even further: "My lightness skill is quite good, I can take you to the county town, take you home! I can even take you to the family where your father received medical treatment to find out what's going on!"
"Really?" Rong Sheng's eyes lit up.
"Go!" As soon as Gu Beiyi finished speaking, he picked up Rong Sheng in his arms, his body soaring through the air like a roc spreading its wings, barely touching the ground, like a dragonfly skimming the water, a fleeting shadow.
"Ah—" Rong Sheng was suddenly picked up and thrown into the air by Gu Beiyi. She was so frightened that she closed her eyes and tightly hugged Gu Beiyi's strong waist with both hands, afraid that Gu Beiyi would let go of her and smash her into a pile of minced meat.
Gu Beiyi's wicked lips curled up slightly, and his dark eyes shone with doting light. He didn't say anything, but he had already taken action to protect Rong Sheng in his arms, preventing her from being hit by the night wind.
When Rong Sheng saw that Gu Beiyi not only didn't let go of her, but instead hugged her even tighter, her worries instantly disappeared.
The wind whistled past her ears, and Rong Sheng opened her eyes out of curiosity. She saw herself flying in mid-air, looking down and taking in the entire world.
The village at night is like a painting, beautiful and warm. The moment I saw it, it felt as if something indescribable in my heart was shattered.
I'm growing more and more attached to this peaceful life!
Ancient times are different from modern times. Rong Sheng is already sick of seeing the night scenes of modern cities.
Modern rural areas are filled with high-rise buildings and highways, completely lacking the tranquility and simplicity of ancient rural areas. So, in that instant, Rong Sheng felt her heart become peaceful.
"Aren't you afraid?" Gu Beiyi was able to easily leap into the air with someone on his back, and he was still able to speak without catching his breath, which shows how high his martial arts skills are.
Rong Sheng's bright and beautiful eyes shone with dazzling light, "I like it!"
I really love the feeling of soaring through the sky and looking down at everything in the world.
It's just a pity that she's a peasant girl who has never learned martial arts. It's too late for her to learn now, and she can't possibly reach the level of her future husband. So she can only dream about it.
With her future husband by her side, they soon arrived in Wenhong County. However, it was already late and the city gates were closed. They would have to wait until dawn to enter the county.
But Rong Sheng couldn't wait that long, so she was very anxious and uneasy.
