Chapter 174 Leaving and Reluctance
"Doctor Lu, Doctor Chen, are you really leaving?"
In the Wei Mansion, Wei Zi'an heard that Lu Qing and the others were about to leave, and immediately ran to the Youzhu courtyard.
Then he saw that his father and mother were also there.
"Yes, we have disturbed your house for long enough. It is time to go back, otherwise the people in the village will be worried." Lu Qing nodded.
This time they stayed in the county town for nearly half a month.
Although the Wei Mansion had been asked to send someone back to Jiuli Village to bring a message, the villagers would inevitably be worried after he hadn't been back for such a long time.
Now that the county's affairs have been satisfactorily resolved, there is naturally no need for them to stay in the county.
Although the county town is nice, it also has many restrictions and many things are not very convenient.
During this period of time, Lu Qing had to be very careful even when practicing martial arts, for fear of disturbing others.
So it’s better to be at home and hide in the mountains. No matter what happens, it won’t affect others.
Even the old doctor was quite interested in returning home.
When he was in Jiuli Village, he still had several patients whose illnesses had not been completely cured.
He had prepared some medicine for them before he left, but they should have almost finished taking it now, so he had to go back for a follow-up visit.
"What are you talking about, Mr. Lu? It is an honor for our Wei family that you and the old doctor can live here. How can we say that we are disturbing you?" Wei Xinghe said hurriedly.
He wished that Lu Qing and the others would live in the mansion forever.
"Yes, Mr. Lu, you can stay as long as you want. How could we disturb you?" Mrs. Wei also said.
She didn't want Lu Qing and the others to leave, especially Xiaoyan.
These days, she taught Xiaoyan how to read and write, and after spending so much time with her, she almost treated Xiaoyan as her real daughter.
"Thank you for your kindness, but we have been away from home for a long time, and it is time to go back and take a look."
In the end, no matter how Wei Xinghe and others tried to persuade them to stay, Lu Qing and the old doctor expressed their intention to leave.
As a last resort, Wei Xinghe could only ask people to make preparations.
As for Wei Shanhai, he has not shown up. It is unknown whether he is not in the mansion or he does not care about Lu Qing and the others' departure.
Not long after, Wei Xinghe and others sent Lu Qing and others to the city gate.
"You guys are living a pretty good life."
Looking at the big ox that had obviously gained weight in front of the ox cart brought by the Wei family's servants, Lu Qing cursed with a smile.
"Moo!"
When Daniu saw Lu Qing and the others, he seemed very happy. He let out a soft cry and rubbed Lu Qing's hand with his head.
Lu Qing began to take several boxes from the Wei family's servants and put them on the ox cart.
Most of the items in it were local specialties that he bought for the villagers.
As for the generous thank-you gifts prepared by the Wei family, they only took a little symbolically and declined the rest.
At Lu Qing and the old doctor’s current level, the demand for gold and silver is no longer very great.
There are large boxes of gold and silver in the house, and they haven't figured out what to do with them yet.
"Xiaoyan, let's go!"
After putting everything away, Lu Qing called out.
"Goodbye, auntie. Xiaoyan is going home!"
Xiaoyan, who was holding Xiaoli, said goodbye to Mrs. Wei reluctantly.
These days, she has been with Mrs. Wei every day and they have developed a very deep relationship.
Mrs. Wei was even more reluctant to let you go, and her tears were about to fall: "Xiaoyan, dear, when auntie is free, I will go to Jiuli Village to see you."
"Really? Then Xiaoyan will wait for her aunt at home!" Xiaoyan's eyes lit up.
When Mrs. Wei heard this, her heart ached and she almost wanted to follow Lu Qing and the others.
Fortunately, she was still rational and just nodded with tears in her eyes: "Of course it's true."
The little guy immediately became happy, jumped towards Lu Qing, and was then carried onto the ox cart.
The old doctor was still wearing his bamboo hat and sitting in the front.
Because he rarely goes out and deliberately keeps a low profile, these days, except for the people in the Wei Mansion, no one from other forces in the county knows that this mysterious innate realm master who suddenly appeared is actually the famous old doctor Chen.
"Master Wei, there is no need to see me off. Even though I have sent you a thousand miles away, we must part ways. Let's say goodbye now."
Lu Qing bowed and said politely.
"Brother Lu, when I finish my family affairs, I will go back to the market and have a meal and a drink with you!"
Ma Gu, who had just arrived at the city gate, said cheerfully.
"Haha, that's great. I'll cook some delicious dishes for you then." Lu Qing also laughed.
Amidst the laughter, the old doctor cracked his whip, and with a crisp sound, the ox cart slowly started and drove out.
Just like that day, it was slowly approaching from a distance.
But there were two or three people missing from the car.
Madam Wei and Wei Zi'an watched the ox cart slowly go away, their eyes slightly red.
At first, they returned with great fear.
Now, the ox cart that had escorted them all the way was about to leave.
For a moment, many emotions surged in their hearts, and they were filled with mixed feelings.
"Goodbye, Auntie!"
When the ox cart drove far away and was almost out of sight, Xiaoyan stood up and waved her hands vigorously.
I heard that childish voice coming from afar.
Mrs. Wei could no longer hold back her tears, and they burst out.
When Lu Qing and others left the city, they did so openly and without trying to hide their whereabouts.
Therefore, it didn't take long for the news of their departure to spread to all forces in the city.
"Are they really gone?"
Inside the county magistrate's mansion, Yan Canghai looked at his confidant who came to report with a serious expression.
"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. Young Master Lu left in a ox cart. The young lady was also on the cart. The driver seemed to be an old man. Many people in the city also saw it." The confidant confirmed.
"Have you seen the old man's face?" Yan Canghai asked hurriedly.
"I haven't seen him." The confidant replied, "The old man was wearing a bamboo hat that covered his face. I could only hear his voice sound quite old, so I couldn't see his face clearly."
"You are still hiding your identity." Yan Canghai was disappointed and waved his hand, "Okay, you can go down."
After his confidants left, Yan Canghai sat there, pondered for a while, then suddenly stood up and went to the small building where the young man in plain clothes lived.
Just as I was about to knock on the door, I heard a faint voice from the side: "What's the matter?"
Turning around, I saw my friend standing in a pavilion not far away, holding a book in his hand.
Yan Canghai smiled and walked over: "I just received news that Mr. Lu and his master have left the county."
"Yeah." The young man in plain clothes nodded, without any surprise on his face.
"Zhirui, since they are gone, you can now tell me who is Mr. Lu's master, the mysterious Xiantian realm master?"
Ever since the commoner youth said that the innate realm master who suddenly appeared was someone he knew, Yan Canghai immediately began an investigation.
However, after he checked all the martial arts masters he knew, he still had no clue.
No one's identity matches that of the mysterious innate.
Later, he wanted to start with Lu Qing, but was still at a loss.
Because this one is more mysterious.
No one knows Lu Qing's origins.
He seemed to have appeared out of nowhere. Before coming to the county, there had never been a single rumor about this young man in the world.
Therefore, Yan Canghai was extremely curious about the identities of these two people.
The young man in plain clothes said nothing, but just looked at him quietly.
Yan Canghai's heart stagnated, but he forced himself to calm down: "Before, you described the changes in the past ten thousand years as so terrible. I can't ask about it, but I must know the identity of this mysterious innate. Didn't you say that I know him?"
The young man in plain clothes looked at Yan Canghai for a while and knew that he would not give up unless he figured out the matter.
So he sighed and said helplessly: "It doesn't hurt to tell you, you do know that Xiantian Realm master. He is the old doctor Chen Songqing whom you once hosted."
"What?!"
Yan Canghai's eyes suddenly widened, and he was completely stunned by this answer.
It took him a long time to come back to his senses.
"Zhirui, are you sure that the person in the Xiantian realm is the old doctor Chen Songqing?" Yan Canghai asked with some difficulty.
The young man in plain clothes glanced at him sideways, as if he was disdainful of answering the question.
"But, how is this possible?" Yan Canghai swallowed, still unable to believe it.
“That old doctor Chen has good martial arts skills and has reached the great perfection of the internal organs realm.
But at his age, he has already passed the peak of his energy and blood, and it is not easy for him to maintain his realm and not regress.
How is it possible to achieve breakthroughs one after another and enter the Xiantian realm in such a short period of time?"
Moreover, he is so powerful that even Wang Cang, a veteran in the Innate Realm, dares not to make an enemy of him.
The more Yan Canghai thought about it, the more unbelievable it became.
"Come to think of it, I'm surprised too." The young man in plain clothes sighed.
"This old doctor Chen is truly an extraordinary person. According to the information I have found, he has been doing good deeds and curing illnesses all his life. He can be called a truly kind-hearted doctor and a great man.
After years of doing good deeds and accumulating virtue, the light of merit and virtue actually condensed on him.
If I am not mistaken, it is precisely because of the light of merit.
That was why he was able to go against the tide and make continuous breakthroughs even when his energy and blood were declining in his later years, entering the innate realm that countless warriors dreamed of.
It can be said that all of this is the result of his accumulation of experience, but the way he accumulated it is a little different from the general path of martial arts. "
"The light of merit gained through doing good deeds and accumulating virtue?"
At this moment, Yan Canghai was completely stunned.
Because he didn't understand what it meant at all.
Unfortunately, this time, the young man in plain clothes did not explain to him again.
He brushed his clothes and placed the book in his hand on the stone table in the pavilion.
"Well, since Mr. Lu and the others have left, it's time for me to leave too. Canghai, thank you for your hospitality these days."
"You're leaving too?" Yan Canghai was caught off guard and was shocked.
"Yes, I have stayed in Cang County long enough, and it is time to leave. However, before I leave, I have a few words to say to you."
The young man in plain clothes had a serious look on his face.
As a result, Yan Canghai was unable to utter the words he wanted to keep her, and could only listen to him quietly.
“Cang Hai, to be honest, I am disappointed this time I came to Cang County.
I thought that you had been keeping a low profile, lying dormant, and honing yourself during these years in Cang County.
But what I see is that not only are you wasting your time, but you are also going backwards and are far worse than you used to be.
To put it bluntly, you are no longer qualified to compete with your brothers.
Therefore, I advise you to give up the little thoughts in your heart and just be a good county lord here.
As long as you behave yourself, I think the people in the royal capital won't notice this side.
That way, your mother won't have to worry about you every day, fearing that you'll go the wrong way."
The words of the young man in plain clothes made Yan Canghai completely silent, and he didn't speak for a long time.
"Okay, think about it yourself, I'm leaving."
The young man in plain clothes ignored him. After saying what he wanted to say, he flashed and disappeared in the pavilion.
"Zhirui..." Yan Canghai was shocked.
"Finally, there is one more thing. Remember, don't provoke that young Master Lu."
The voice gradually faded away, leaving only Yan Canghai in the pavilion, feeling lost.
…
"Brother, brother, that flower is so beautiful, and the one over here is also very beautiful!"
The ox cart moved forward, changing with the surrounding scenery.
Xiaoyan, who was originally feeling a little sad because of her separation from Mrs. Wei, immediately put that sorrow behind her.
Pointing at the wild flowers and weeds on the road, he kept shouting to Lu Qing.
Although he had seen it once on the way here, the little guy still found it fresh when he watched it again.
"Yeah, it's very beautiful."
Seeing that she was happy, Lu Qing felt relieved.
After all, they are children, and sorrow comes and goes quickly.
As for Xiao Li, he was so happy that he was jumping around the ox cart, his figure appearing and disappearing, constantly drilling in the air, and he was extremely excited.
During the long time in Wei Mansion, Xiao Li always kept in mind Lu Qing's instructions and did not show off his talents and skills at will.
Therefore, all along, apart from showing its extremely strong spirituality, it has never done anything else out of the ordinary.
Every day he is harmless and is held by Xiaoyan.
Accompany her to read, write, eat and play.
Apart from its stronger spirituality, in the eyes of the people in the Wei Mansion, it is no different from an ordinary pet.
Even Mrs. Wei, although she guessed that Xiao Li was unusual, she had never seen his true abilities.
It was precisely because of this that Xiao Li felt a little frustrated.
Now that I have finally left the Wei Mansion, I must have fun as much as I can.
Because we set off early enough and didn't delay the trip on the road.
So this time, Lu Qing and his friends did not stay overnight on the road.
Instead, he hurried back to Jiuli Village before dusk.
“We’re almost home!”
Xiaoyan looked excited as she watched the scenery around her gradually become familiar.
After being out for so long, she missed everyone in the village.
Xiao Li also stood on Lu Qing's shoulder, looking in the direction of Jiuli Village with shining eyes.
Everything is good in the Wei Mansion, and we can eat our fill of fish every day.
But somehow, it still likes the days in Jiuli Village the most.
“I’m finally back.”
The old doctor had already taken off his hat by this time and sighed as he looked ahead.
Having lived in Jiuli Village for so many years, he has developed quite a bit of affection for it.
"Master, I will go take down the red rope first."
When the ox cart arrived at the village entrance, Lu Qing jumped off.
Wait until Lu Qing takes the red rope off the tree and puts it back under the stone slab.
The people in the village finally noticed the ox cart.
Soon, the whole village began to boil.
