"Don't worry about it."
After Lin Chaonan finished speaking, he got into the carriage, sat on the carriage shaft, and said to Yue Jiuyue and Xiaoman'er inside the carriage:
"Mom, little girl, sit up straight, we're leaving."
Lin Chaobei: ???????
No, wasn't he the one driving the carriage?
But thinking about what had just happened, he was too embarrassed to ask Lin Chaonan to get off and let him take over, so he could only get on the oxcart sullenly.
"Fourth Master, what should we do with that person?"
"I've been holding the ox's reins tightly, afraid it will run away," Erhu asked.
"Make it cold!"
After Lin Chaobei finished speaking, he shook the ox reins, let out a "whoosh," and then "whoosh whoosh" twice more, and the oxcart sped up to catch up with the horse-drawn carriage.
After walking about a mile, Lin Chaobei sighed silently to himself, then turned the car around again without saying a word and stopped next to Huang Banxian.
"What a hassle!"
Despite the inconvenience, he couldn't bear to see the old man lying on the road waiting to die.
Although there are villages a few miles away, there are special paths leading back from the county town to the villages. Who would take the long way home?
In villages further away, few people would go to the county town. Who would go to the county town if they had nothing better to do? It was only those nearby who could occasionally bring some vegetables they had grown or eggs they had collected to exchange for a few copper coins in the county town.
Lin Chaobei lifted Huang Banxian onto the oxcart, turned it around, and shouted "Oh!" several times, speeding up and speeding up again as he tried to catch up with the carriage.
There was nothing that could be done; the oxcart was just too slow. Even with super-speeding, it couldn't catch up with a horse-drawn carriage at normal speed, unless Lin Chaonan stopped the carriage from running.
But is that even possible?
Sure enough, Lin Chaobei didn't see the carriage until he got home.
"Mom! Third Brother! Where should we put this basin?"
Lin Chaobei, carrying Huang Banxian on his back, stood at the entrance of the main room and asked.
He knew he was in the wrong; this man was clearly a troublemaker, but he couldn't bear to see him lying on the road waiting to die, so he brought him back. He knew this would cause trouble for his family, but he just couldn't bear it.
At worst, he can pay for everything he eats and uses at home himself, and then kick him out once he recovers!
This was a solution he had come up with with great difficulty after struggling with his conscience all the way.
“There is no spare room in the house for him to live in.”
Yue Jiuyue gave this sentence without raising her eyebrows.
Lin Chaobei asked anxiously:
"Then, how about letting him stay in the west room?"
"casual."
After Yue Jiuyue finished speaking, she stopped drinking water and led Xiaoman'er back to their room to rest.
She sat in the main room drinking water, partly because she was thirsty, and partly because she was waiting for Lin Chaobei.
Lin Chaobei was young and the most innocent and lively child in the family. When they learned that he had turned back, they knew that this was the outcome.
He had already taken everyone home, so he couldn't just leave them there. Lin Chaonan had already driven his carriage to town to fetch Doctor Li.
"Erhu, come here, give me a hand!"
"Hey! They're here, Fourth Master!"
Listening to the commotion outside, Yue Jiuyue could only pray that the fortune teller Huang would live up to Lin Chaobei's pure kindness and not turn into a farmer and the snake scenario.
However, even if it really happens, it's fine. It'll just be a good lesson in reality for Lin Chaobei, showing him the cruelty of this world and that kindness doesn't always bring good results.
"Little Man, do you want to sleep for a while? Or take a bath before sleeping?"
Xiao Man'er gently shook her head, closed her eyes, snuggled into Yue Jiuyue's arms, found a comfortable position, and soon remained motionless, it was unknown whether she had fallen asleep.
