Chapter 245 Homecoming
Everyone rested in Dayan Town for one night and continued their journey home the next day.
The closer they got to their destination, the more Cui Qingyi wanted to go home quickly. Along the way, Wangcai seemed to recognize the way home. He didn't even sit in the carriage, but excitedly ran ahead to lead the way. Snowball was influenced by him and was unwilling to stay on top of the carriage. He would flap his wings and fly away from time to time.
There were dogs barking, eagles crying, and laughter in the team, but they didn't know that a wolf was chasing them closely following the scent.
Wangcai is heartless towards everything except Cui Qingyi. That day, everyone had just sent the black wolf back to the forest. Seeing the black wolf leave without looking back, Wangcai felt a little reluctant and angry, but the next day he put the wolf behind him.
The closer it got to home, the more it missed the konjac it hadn't seen for a long time, the big bones she stewed, the smooth and chewy noodles made by Chen Ma, and the little white dog and the full-moon girl who clung to it like a mangy dog.
Even the somewhat annoying Gulu Eagle was pulled out from a corner by Wangcai and talked about again.
How big is a dog's head? It can already hold so many things, so how can it have room for anything else?
The sky is high and the clouds are light, the road is wide, and Wangcai's life is getting more and more comfortable following his master. On the other hand, Black Wolf's situation is a bit hard to describe.
On the first day of returning to the forest, the black wolf couldn't wait to patrol his territory, but unfortunately the area closest to the deep mountains where prey was abundant had been occupied by other predators. The black wolf simply sniffed and gave up the idea of competing with the other party for territory.
It was very strange that the black wolf, who always hated other guys invading its territory, was too reluctant to cause trouble for this uninvited guest.
In the evening, the black wolf caught a fat hare without any effort, but the feeling of having a mouth full of fur made the black wolf a little annoyed. Why didn't it realize that skinning rabbits was so annoying before?
On the next morning, the black wolf braved the dew to pick the freshest herbs. However, when he returned to his cave, he remembered that the female wolf he had his eyes on was not of the same species as himself. She had followed humans away just a day ago.
Black Wolf...For the first time, he felt that his life was so boring. What did he do to pass the time in the past?
No one could give Black Wolf an answer.
In the evening, the black wolf squatted on the ground, fiddling with the dead rabbit with his claws, and he missed the sweet lamb leg that Wangcai shared with him.
In the middle of the night, the peaceful and quiet Qinghe City was awakened by the howling of wolves. The people listened attentively and became a little nervous, thinking that some wild animals were about to come down the mountain at this time.
The black wolf stood on its favorite rock, howling towards the moon that was faintly visible behind the dark clouds. It took one last look at the territory where it grew up, and then disappeared into the darkness alone without looking back.
......
Dongping County
As her belly grew bigger, Konjac developed a new habit these days: standing in front of her house and looking at the streets leading out of the city.
A month ago, Qiao Yishi stopped taking escort agency assignments and went out, staying at home waiting for the konjac to produce.
He felt a little jealous looking at his wife. They had been married for so long, but Cui Qingyi was still more important to his wife.
But he hadn't been jealous for a while when Konjac turned around with a big belly and looked at him. Qiao Yishi was no longer angry at all.
"If you are not strong enough, don't stay here. Since the village chief has promised you, he will definitely come back on time."
Konjac didn't know what was wrong with her. The closer it got to the due date given by the doctor, the more panicked she became. Even though Qiao Yishi no longer went out and even though there was a new servant in the house, she was still afraid and panicked.
Every day I can't sleep because I think about the girl not being by my side when she gives birth.
If Cui Qingyi were here, she would probably tell Konjac that women do experience this period of time before giving birth, which is what modern people often call prenatal depression.
Cui Qingyi's carriage entered Dongping County in the afternoon. Wangcai and his dog led the way and rushed straight towards Huaihua Lane. Taozhi shouted at the top of her lungs but failed to call the dogs back.
Cui Qingyi said helplessly: "Let it go. When it doesn't find anyone in the alley, it will know to come back."
Li Miao was the first one to see Wangcai. She widened her eyes in excitement and was a little bit disbelieving. She lifted her skirt and followed Wangcai to the Cui family's house.
Cui Qingyi now had the Township Lord's Mansion, and she hadn't sold the house in Huaihua Lane. Of course, neither had the Qiao family's house across the street. Someone from both families would come back from time to time to check on and clean up. Today, it just so happened that Konjac and Chen Ma had returned to Huaihua Lane together.
Konjac was too upset to stay at home, while Aunt Chen was thinking that her daughter should be back soon, and in case her master wanted to stay in Huaihua Lane for a while after returning, Aunt Chen came over today to clean up.
When she heard Wangcai's familiar cry, Chen Ma smiled and said to Manyue, who was helping her, "Master and Wangcai have been gone for such a long time, I miss them so much."
Man Yue was a very stubborn person and she never thought that she had misheard because she missed the dog too much. She rushed out of the house when she heard the first bark of the dog.
Mother Chen looked at Man Yue's back and suddenly realized something.
On the opposite side, Konjac was about to go out to the other side, and Heiya Lingframe, who had been guarding the gate obediently, suddenly rushed out.
While waiting for everyone to gather in the alley, Heiya was so excited that he almost didn't know what was going on. As a dog, he had never been separated from his mother for so long in his life.
Xiaobai was barking anxiously, but there was nothing he could do about the two big dogs' eight paws, and if he stuck his paws in, he would probably be crushed.
Wangcai was patient at first, but seeing Heiya's tactless look, he took a bite of the neck, then threw away the neck without any reluctance and ran towards Konjac standing in the alley.
When Chen Ma saw this, her heart nearly jumped out of her throat. She kept shouting, "Wangcai, slow down, slow down... Ouch!"
Konjac held her belly and tried to hide, because she knew Wangcai would not pounce on people.
Sure enough, when Wangcai was two steps away from the konjac, he suddenly braked the car. He looked at the bulging belly of the konjac with shock and confusion.
For dogs, the degree to which a human's belly swells during childbirth is frightening.
Konjac burst into tears before she could say anything: "Wangcai..."
Wangcai was unprecedentedly obedient, allowing Konjac to stroke him from head to toe with tears in his eyes.
With her heart at ease, Konjac's mood immediately changed 180 degrees. "Auntie Chen, hurry up, let's go back to the village head's residence. The girl must have gone back there first."
Aunt Chen quickly agreed. She was very happy that her master had returned from a long trip and had already started planning what to eat later.
