Chapter 999 Look, She's Responding to You

Qiao Xi remembered that when Cheng Han left the imperial capital, he took Cheng Qingnian with him.

The woman finally came to her senses and did not waste time with the Lu family in the imperial capital until her death.

"I went to the mountains to collect herbs."

Cheng Han said calmly.

From the tone of his voice, it seems that he has not completely forgiven his daughter.

"Don't worry, she won't cause trouble again. She's been very well behaved recently and gets along well with other people in the village. But I don't know if this is just her disguise or if she has really changed for the better. Let's observe her for a while. Do you plan to stay here for a long time this time?"

Cheng Han saw Old Chen moving things into the yard one trip at a time.

"Yes, I plan to stay for a long time."

"That's perfect. I'm in need of two helpers. If you can't learn all my skills, don't go back to Haicheng."

"Yes, Master!"

She was delighted.

Huo Xingzhou said softly, "Mr. Cheng, I brought you some relatively rare medicinal herbs. I thought you might not be able to find them in the village, so you should prepare some here. There are also some relatively modern medical gadgets. You can tell me directly if you need anything. My people go in and out of Moon Village every month."

"You don't have to be so polite."

"You are Qiao Xi's master. Once a teacher, you are a father for life. It is our duty to respect our master."

Huo Xingzhou was very polite when facing Cheng Han and gave him enough face.

Cheng Han nodded: "In that case, I won't be polite when I need you. I'll trouble you later..."

Life in the village is comfortable, but some things are still not very convenient.

The master and the apprentice talked for a while, and then they saw a woman in plain clothes carrying a backpack walking slowly towards them not far away.

It took Qiao Xi a while to recognize that it was Cheng Qingnian.

After not seeing each other for a while, Cheng Qingnian seemed to have been reborn.

She had gained some weight, and was no longer as skinny as she once was. She could still vaguely see the beauty she had in her youth, and there was no longer that lingering gloom between her eyebrows. Her face had regained some vitality, and now she looked like a living person.

It seems that her life in Moon Village is better than she imagined.

Cheng Qingnian also saw Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou. She felt a little guilty and ashamed.

Finally, I walked up to them and said hello.

She hesitated for a moment and said, "Qiao Xi, thank you for saving me. I was not thinking straight at that time and said a lot of hurtful things. Don't take it to heart, I am just a psychopath."

She returned to the country with a much clearer mind.

She thought of Lu Bannong's betrayal, of her own daughter Lu Yingxue's scheming and framing, and of how the Lu family had ruined her life.

But, in the final analysis, it was her own fault.

If she hadn't been so infatuated and hadn't been deceived by Lu Bannong, her father wouldn't have retired so early, and the father and daughter wouldn't have been separated for so long. She hated the Lu family, but she tried her best to hurt those around her who were kind to her.

How stupid!

Even facing his savior, he still looked aggrieved and hateful.

It's as if the whole world has hurt her, which is so stupid.

"Qiao Xi, I should have said sorry to you a long time ago. But I never found the chance. I am very grateful that you saved me and prevented me from making mistakes in my life."

Qiao Xi pursed her lips and asked, "Do you think your life is good now?"

"Okay. I feel peaceful staying here. My father is getting old and I can only make up for it with the rest of my life. If he dies at that time... I will also stay in the village to treat the villagers. Although I don't have any talent, I still understand basic pharmacology. I will learn more from my father in the remaining time. This is what I should have done many years ago. I hope it's not too late now..."

"It's never too late. It's never too late to turn back."

"Qiao Xi, I'm glad to see you here."

Qiao Xi showed a faint smile on her face, "Then from now on, you may have to see me every day."

…

Early the next morning.

The Feng Shui master that Huo Xingzhou invited from Haicheng picked an auspicious time to start preparing for the worship of Grandma Qiao.

Also coming was the wizard who was used by the villagers to perform rituals.

There is no ban on fireworks in Moon Village.

The villagers were attracted by the sound of firecrackers early in the morning.

"That's the Qiao family girl paying tribute to Grandma Qiao!"

"The old woman is lucky to have such a granddaughter. I knew Qiao was a sensible and well-behaved child since she was young. It's a pity that the old woman died too early. Otherwise, I would have enjoyed the good life with her."

"It's the same now. If you want to blame someone, blame the evildoers."

At this time, Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou stood in front of the tombstone, looking at the newly built tomb.

Her eyes were red and she lit three incense sticks and worshiped respectfully.

"Grandma, we're here to see you."

Then he inserted the incense into the incense burner.

Old Chen handed her a basket of paper money, and Qiao Xi knelt in front of the grave and burned the paper money one by one. The smoke stung her eyes, and she couldn't help but shed tears.

Her grandmother passed away so early, which has always been a regret in her heart.

Life doesn't seem to be perfect, there are always some regrets like a knot stuck in the heart.

Can't let go.

Qiao Xi knelt for a long time.

The slate was hard, but she didn't want to get up.

Her grandmother raised her to this age, but she still hasn't had the chance to fulfill her filial duties.

"Qiao Xi."

Huo Xingzhou patted her shoulder and said, "You are pregnant, don't kneel. Grandma will be worried if she sees you."

He helped her up and said, "You have done everything you should do, and you have done it well. I believe that grandma has seen all of this. Next, we should move forward."

Don't look back and dwell on the pain of the past.

Qiao Xi buried her head in Huo Xingzhou's chest and sobbed.

Huo Xingzhou patted her back gently, "Don't cry, don't cry."

But she seemed to have endless grievances in her heart, and she couldn't stop it.

In my ears are the noisy voices of people and the sounds of suona, gongs and drums.

The only thing that came to her mind was the image of her grandmother when she was alive, how kind and considerate she was.

They are grandparents and grandchildren who depend on each other for survival.

Qiao Xi sniffed, suddenly raised her head and wiped the tears from her face, her eyes were already red.

"I won't cry."

"Um."

"Huo Xingzhou, there must be souls in this world, right?" She seemed to want to get an accurate answer from the person she admired most, as if this answer was authority that could bring her a moment of peace.

"some."

If Zhou Yu was here, he would definitely ask him if he was not an atheist. Why did he change his beliefs in front of Qiao Xi?

But he didn't know that once people have concerns, they will be afraid of life and death.

It’s natural to hope that ghosts exist in this world, and that those who care about us are accompanying us in another way.

Huo Xingzhou reached out his hand to wipe away the tears on her face, "Qiao Xi, you see the wind is blowing. This is grandma responding to you..."
